"So, we're now facing a super AI that has destroyed countless planets?"

"That's right!"

"And you don't know when he's going to attack?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you take the initiative to provoke him?"

"Because I want to find out the identity of the other party, how can I do it without taking risks."

Black Zero's hall is filled with only Ian, Bruce, and Hal.

Diana didn't know what she was up to, she hadn't heard from her since she left last time.

After being dragged by Ian for a few days in philosophy class, Clark has become much more resistant to public opinion, and now flies around the world to save people.

A member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Rong's human identity, it is impossible to be on call.

Bruce has been busy with Gotham lately, and it's best to find it, and when he hears Ian's call, he comes to Black Zero.

"What are you going to do?" Bruce spread his hands and asked Ian directly.

"Hey, hey, you're Batman, it should be your job to make plans!" Ian waved his hand and complained about the increasingly emotional Bruce.

Bruce said with a blank face, "The work in Gotham has taken a huge amount of my energy. I can't really make a judgment without specific information. ”

Modern society is a huge and sophisticated machine, and normal people cannot even understand the laws of its operation without training.

Bruce, on the other hand, single-handedly cut and changed the frame of Gotham, a large city with a population of 10 million.

His CPU has not been dried up until now, and it can only be said that Batman deserves to be Batman.

"So how to deal with Brainiac, we can only listen to you." Bruce gave this responsibility to Ian.

Ian spread his hands in his expectant gaze and said, "Unfortunately, I can't do anything with Brainac. If he's just going to target me, I'll have a number of ways to deal with his troublesome technology.

But Brainiac is a cunning and cruel being, he has his eyes on the entire planet, and if he does anything, he will target the entire planet. We can't defend an entire planet right now. ”

Bruce was silent for about a minute before he came up with a solution: "Then let Brainiac's eyes be on us, and make him feel that if he defeats us, he can conquer the entire earth."

If this AI is as brutal and conceited as you say, then he will definitely be fooled. ”

"Good idea!" Ian nodded, thinking it was a good direction.

"Well, let me have my say."

Hal raised his hand and said, "Why don't we take the initiative to attack?" Haven't Ian already been to Brainiac's ship, and we'll solve the problem once and for all if we attack covertly. ”

Both Ian and Bruce turned to look at Hal, staring at him.

"If you have something to say, don't stare at me like that. It's so infiltrating! ”

Ian explained, "Brainiac is not the Demon Lord of Dragon Quest games, he will only stay in a fixed castle and wait for the Brave to come and crusade against him. ”

Hal was stunned for a moment, knowing the vastness of the universe, he knew better how troublesome it was to find someone.

Then he heard Ian say, "And even the demon king in the game will set all kinds of traps in his castle." If we rush to find Brainiac, we will only fall into his trap. ”

"Then shouldn't we just be passive and wait for Brainiac to hit the door?" Hal's eyes widened, feeling very upset.

Ian and Batman looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "That's right, we can only stay on Earth." ”

Ian then added, "But passive defense is not to be mentioned, the universe is Brainiac's domain, but the earth is our territory." We can prepare a lot of greetings for him. ”

Hal understood what Ian meant, and nodded heavily: "Is it to set a trap for Brainiac on Earth, I understand this." ”

"But there's one thing, Ian, you're wrong!"

He patted his chest and said proudly, "The universe is not Bleniac's territory, but the territory of the Green Lantern Corps." I'll go back to O'a now, and ask the Guardians for help. ”

"I think ......"

Bruce is wary of all extraterrestrial forces.

Ian said, "It would be nice to find a few more Green Lanterns, the Green Lantern Legion people are quite reliable." One more person, one more power. ”

"Then I'll go now!"

Hal nodded excitedly, and then was wrapped in green light energy, flew out of Black Zero, and disappeared into the universe.

"I didn't expect you to trust an extraterrestrial force." Bruce looked at Ian dissatisfied.

Ian replied indifferently, "Of course the Green Lantern Corps have their own problems, as long as they exist in the real world, there is no such thing as perfection.

But the problem of the Green Lantern Corps is not below but above, as long as the above is not blindly commanded, there will definitely be no problem with the Green Lantern who comes. ”

The Green Lanterns have had failures, they have been arrogant, they have been extreme, but they really haven't been traitors.

Senisto said something else!

He looked at Bruce and said in a deep voice, "And I think you should be more worried about the government on Earth than the Green Lantern Corps, which is an unknown number of light years away."

If we are to draw Brainiac's eye to ourselves, we have to make frequent appearances. Do you think people in buildings like the White House and the Pentagon will be able to sleep soundly at night? ”

"I don't care what those people think."

Bruce put on a Batman's face and said, "As long as I can defeat Brainiac and avoid Earth becoming a second Krypton, I can pay whatever it takes." ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Ian understands Bruce's tenacity because he is ready to think, "All we need is a stage for us to be in front of the world and guests from outside the world." ”

"Then you're in luck today, I just have one here that you need trouble."

Diana walked into the hall waving her hand and Chinese, her high heels landing on the floor of the hall before making a clicking sound.

Ian looked at Diana, who was dressed in leather, and asked, "When did you arrive?" ”

"Just when Hal said he was going to the Green Lantern Corps."

Diana sat in her chair, put the papers on the table, and said simply, "I already know everything about Brainiac. I've just investigated something interesting. ”

Ian flipped through the papers, and Diana explained in detail: "During this time, I have been investigating Luther's superhuman genetic testing machine. ”

Under the influence of Ron and Steve, the US president realized that he might lose re-election because of this, and vetoed the plan. The Luthor Group sells its machines overseas, such as in the Middle East, West Africa and Eastern Europe. ”

Without an official endorsement, the conspiracy-theorized United States simply does not accept a machine like a superhuman genetic test.

Ian glanced at ten lines and gave Bruce a data report to him, and then both of them frowned.

The point is not that Luthor lost money, but that he lost money to send machines to these places.

And according to Diana's investigation, Luther's machine has spread widely in Eastern Europe. At the same time, a new thing has emerged - a non-profit organization specializing in the reception and treatment of transhumans.

Ian pulled out the paper with the logo of the nonprofit organization and asked, "Diana, what are these nonprofits hiding inside?" ”

Diana pressed her hands on the table, recalled what she had seen and heard, and replied: "The problem is here, I found nothing in the camp. Children under the age of 10 with dominant superhuman genes mysteriously disappeared after entering the camp. ”

Syllable!

Ian pressed the paper on the table and said in a deep voice, "Now that we know the purpose of Luthor's transmission of these machines, he is looking for these children with superhuman genes. ”

"What does he want to do? Human experiments? By now, the number of missing children is about to exceed 1,000, what kind of experiment needs to consume so many people? ”

Bruce clasped his hands together to cover half of his face, revealing only the area above his eyes, but his anger could still be seen.

Ian didn't answer immediately, his gaze scanned back and forth through the information before finally fixing on the bank statement.

He asked Diana, "Didn't you find out about the funding of this nonprofit organization?" ”

"Their funds have been transferred from one bank to another, and they can't find the source of the funds."

"Maybe we have to consider the reality that Luthor is not alone, and that there is a mysterious organization standing behind this matter."

Ian's voice was heavy.

He didn't say it, but what was clear to everyone was that if such an organization existed, the children who were taken away would probably have been poisoned.

"Diana, where is the place where the most disappearances have occurred?"

"Bialia and Pergolistan!"

Diana replied: "These two countries are on a saber-rattling and there have been many frictions in the past. With Luther's machines, they are all trying to organize superhuman forces to achieve a decisive advantage. ”

"As for those children, no one cares anymore except their families, as if they have never been in this world."

"In war, people can't even guarantee their own lives, let alone the energy to guarantee other things."

Ian saw Diana's depressed expression and comforted him.

Diana looked up and smiled brightly at Ian: "I'm no stranger to war, I've seen too many cruel and cruel things, and this matter doesn't affect me." ”

"Then we'll go to Bialia and Pergolistan to have a look."

Ian made a decision in an instant: "Even if a few thousand pigs want to be transferred, they will leave a very obvious mark when they are recovered." Not to mention thousands of children. ”

"I'm not going!" Bruce was intrigued by it, and was furious at the bastards who dared to do it to the kids.

And Batman's job is a detective.

But

"Things in Gotham are piling up, and I can't let go until I'm on track."

"It's okay, Diana and I are enough to handle most of the trouble."

"I'll keep an eye on Brainiac's business."

Bruce nodded, left the hall, and teleported back to Gotham.

Ian told everything he knew about Brainiac.

When the Kryptonian science officer heard Brainiac's name, he was so frightened that he couldn't continue working, but Fiona ordered him to be forcibly sent back to his room.

"I didn't expect Brainiac to be so lethal to Kryptonians?"

Ian was indeed surprised, he did not know the specifics of the collision between Krypton and Brainiac.

"I apologize to you for not showing any cowardice on our part of the science officer, he just ......"

Fiora didn't know how to intercede, did she want to say that Brainiac was too powerful?

It sounded as if she was scared, too.

"Fear is a normal emotion in life, and I will not punish him."

Ian didn't know how Zod led the troops, and he was not interested in knowing, so he ordered according to his habit: "Adjutant Fiora, I ask you to enlighten the psychological shadow of our scientific officer, and not to use any form of violence. ”

"But ......"

"No, this is my first specific task for you, and I hope you don't let me down."

Ian didn't give Fiora a chance to bargain, forcing her to get used to her new surroundings.

Fiora gave Ian a military salute and turned to find the Science Officer.

Ian whispered a few more words to Big Big Wolf before joining Diana in her stealth plane, leaving Black Zero and flying to Earth.

"What did you and Big Wolf say?"

Diana is dual-minded, controlling the stealth plane while also talking to Ian.

Ian looked curiously at the stealth plane beneath him, touching here and there.

To Diana's question, he replied: "It's just some technical issues for Big Big Wolf to strengthen Black Zero's cyber defenses." If Brainiac does come along, our ship will be the first to meet the enemy. ”

Diana looked at Ian, who was exploring the stealth plane, and asked curiously, "I never asked you why you want to be a superhero, and you still do this." ”

"Batman is because of the darkness brought about by the death of his parents, Clark was given two worlds of hope by his two pairs of parents, and Jon is Mars who abides by the rules of Mars......"

"What about you?"

She asked Ian, "You and the world are always at odds with each other, so there's no reason to fight, right?" ”

"What an esoteric question."

Ian stopped poking at the stealth plane, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and replied, "I'm just here to live, and to live better!" ”

"It's not easy for you to have the ability to want this."

"Not at first!"

Ian recalled the cruelty of the flashpoint world and sighed: "In the cruel struggle, I have no right to choose, as an oppressed person, there was only this way to go at that time. ”

"You can't survive without fighting. But when I survived and had such power, I couldn't bear to see other people in dire straits. ”

"That's my conscience!"

"It sounds ordinary, nothing special."

"This is life, it's not easy in normal times."

Diana took a deep breath: "What I just said doesn't sound like Queen Anne before the French Revolution?" ”

Ian smiled and shook his head, "I'm sure you're not blind. ”

Then he asked worriedly, "You won't regret joining us, will you?" ”

Ian chuckled in his heart, is the Justice League without Wonder Woman still the Justice League?

Diana smiled at the corner of her mouth: "I do regret it, I shouldn't have taken the initiative to join the organization you established?" What if, you think I'm not important and kick me out? ”

"So you're worried about this?"

Ian breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "It's not necessary at all, you're very important to me......"

A strange glint flashed in Diana's eyes.

"If it weren't for you, Paradise Island would be exposed to the world, and there would definitely be a big battle."

"And ......"

Diana's eyes narrowed into a line and said coldly, "Enough, I don't want to hear it." ”

What's wrong with her?

Ian scratched his head, wondering why Diana had suddenly changed face.

However, he didn't think too much about it, because the two had already flown over Bialia and Pergolistan.

Diana controls the plane as it flies along the coastline, preparing to make its way to one of the largest transhuman shelters.

But the plane skimmed over the sea, and Ian and Diana heard a cry for help from below.

"There's an undersea tunnel between Bialiaa and Pergolistan, and that's where something happened."

Diana was about to save someone, but was stopped by Ian.

"Don't worry, it's not just the two of us here."

Following Ian's finger, Diana saw someone who surprised her.
