Chapter 245 A traitor has emerged among us (additional updates, please read on, 6-1=5 updates are owed)
"Tomorrow is the first meeting of the Justice League... Why are you so interested?"
A refreshing night.
Wonder Woman Diana and Chen Tao, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked together on the newly built Justice Hall Square.
This new landmark building is located in the city center of the metropolis, facing south and north, magnificent and huge, and every inch of land exudes the breath of money.
The square was built in the style of a football field, but the area is more than ten times larger.
"I'm just a little confused, Diana." Chen Tao kicked the newly planted grass on the ground with his foot and said, "About myself."
"Oh?" Chen Tao saw Diana turn around and walk backwards: "I didn't think that Batman, who is busy like a spinning top all day, would feel confused."
"This is not what I want." Chen Tao shook his head.
He said to Diana: "You know I promised Alfred that I would retire to Fiji with him. But what about now?"
"Darkseid, the mite, the darkest night, one thing after another, never stopping."
He said: "I doubt this, doubt that, thinking all day long, either fighting or on the way to fight."
"Is this kind of life really what I want?"
Wonder Woman didn't speak. She stretched out a hand and put it on Chen Tao's shoulder.
Then she saw Chen Tao put something like a remote control in her hand.
"What is this?"
She asked.
"Magic props." Chen Tao told her: "With this thing, you can almost counter most of the people in the Justice League. Just press this button lightly."
Wonder Woman laughed.
"It sounds like a cheat code for some game."
She saw Chen Tao raised his eyebrows.
"Hmm, do I know the game by accident?" The princess of Paradise Island said, "Don't treat me as an old antique. I am no different from an ordinary modern person now." She raised the remote control: "Okay, okay. But I don't quite understand the principle." "You just need to press it, and they will tremble and lose their combat effectiveness." "This is the effect, I'm asking about the principle." "I can't tell you, Diana. Some things are best kept in mind." Chen Tao said: "These are just some small... backup plans. Only you, Diana, I can only trust you." "Okay..." Diana said, "Should I feel honored to be one of Batman's backup plans?" "I don't think it's extreme to prepare for the worst. A military operation requires multiple backup plans," Chen Tao said, "Only by considering the worst results can we ensure that the team will not be defeated. We need..." "Shh..." But before he finished speaking, he was blocked by a green finger. Wonder Woman Diana made a shushing gesture. "You don't have to explain this to me, Batman," she said. When Chen Tao turned his head, Wonder Woman had already walked away with a gust of fragrant wind.
"I am honored to be your backup plan... "
"Don't tell anyone that I gave you this remote control. I only gave it to you and I only trust you." Chen Tao said.
Diana paused, and then took a deep breath almost like a groan.
Chen Tao watched her wave her hand, indicating that he knew, and then slowly walked away.
Chen Tao muttered silently to himself.
"I'm sorry, Diana... but I can't tell you anything. I suspect there's a traitor among us, not Billy's father, nor Cyborg, but a third person hiding among us. I have every reason to suspect anyone except myself."
"Everything seems to be arranged. Why did Billy fail in his missions again and again, and even accidentally killed civilians? Why was Cyborg able to tell so much information about Krypton and Kara's family situation so accurately when he first met Supergirl Kara Zor-El?"
"Did Cyborg really absorb the knowledge from the Kryptonian spacecraft as in the comics?"
"Also, why can my enemies grasp my whereabouts so accurately? I have been on guard against Cyborg in every way. He absolutely cannot be able to get my itinerary, not to mention that I obviously acted on impulse and returned to the Kryptonian spaceship. I went to have dinner with Alfred, and was late for a day to meet with Waller and Green Lantern. "
"Why can the meditation mite create such a time difference when I go to deal with Green Lantern affairs, and lead Billy into the trap so accurately? "
"Who is secretly selling this information to my enemies? "
"Martian Manhunter? Although he is a master of mental manipulation, people who play with minds are often controlled in reverse, and his suspicion cannot be ruled out. "
"Amanda Waller? She is just an ordinary person, and it is easy to mentally manipulate her."
"Alfred? If someone manipulates his mind..."
"The Flash? With his super speed and ability to pass through walls, he has a chance to steal any information from Amanda Waller without anyone noticing, and notify anyone, or fake the death of civilians before Billy reacts, so that Billy mistakenly believes that he caused it. "
"Or... Wonder Woman Diana? Although demigods are difficult to be controlled by the mind, they are not impossible."
"Green Lantern Hal? He knows that I decided to come to him the next day. Amanda Waller will definitely inform him."
"The people of the Rogue Gang? They are only loyal to money. Although they are united, they have no organization and discipline. If someone..."
"Poison Ivy Ivy? My personal scientist Lucius?"
"Killer Croc? Or someone invaded part of Clayface's body and manipulated him?"
All kinds of doubts and thoughts came one after another, making Chen Tao's heart turbulent.
Chen Tao made another call.
Not long after, with a burst of yellow light, the Flash appeared in the square: "Batman, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Then he saw Batman take out a remote control from his pocket that was exactly the same as the one he gave to Wonder Woman just now.
"...If you just press it, they will tremble and become weak, losing their fighting power..."
"...These are just some small backup plans. Only you, Barry Allen, I can only trust you..."
"Woo woo woo!" Barry was so moved that he almost cried: "Batman! I will never let you down! I will definitely be your best backup plan, you can definitely trust me!"
Chen Tao watched the Flash leave with great emotion, and then dialed the next number.
"Hello, Martian Manhunter?"
"Yes, yes, yes, come to the square."
"Just press it"
"I only trust you"
"A small backup plan"
"I know, Batman. Don't worry, I won't ask too many questions." Martian Manhunter nodded seriously: "Thank you for your trust, I promise..."
Next one.
"I can't believe you trust me so much, Batman!" Hal, the Green Lantern, said in shock, then said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't let you down. Entrusting the important things to me is definitely the best choice you have made in your life. The members of the Green Lantern Corps will protect..." Chen Tao waved his hands impatiently. Next. "I will always be ready." Supergirl Kara said: "But what is the use of this iron lump?" Next. "Are you kidding me? I am so moved that I am about to cry." Captain Cold said. Next. Killer Croc hugged Chen Tao directly, stretched out his tongue, and licked his face wildly: "Woo woo woo woo! Batman! I will always be your most loyal Robin!" Chen Tao wiped the saliva on his face expressionlessly. Continue. "Earthling, I didn't expect you to entrust things to me." Sinestro said, "I will return the things to you before leaving Earth."
"Oh." Chen Tao said, "Okay, you are OK, you can go back. Hurry up."
"You are afraid of being seen by others, right? You are quite thoughtful."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Damn, why do I have so many people under me?
After Sinestro left, Chen Tao thought about it for a while. I have to time it well. If the people coming here meet the people going back, and then they talk and fight, it will be Shura Field.
But now it's almost done. Oh, by the way, there is one more. Chen Tao turned his head and looked at the mud face next to him.
Mud face: "Aba?"
Chen Tao: "Swallow this thing into your stomach."
Mud face: "Ah!"
Gulp!
This is the easiest.
It was late at night, and the moon was high. After perfunctorily dealing with everyone, Chen Tao let out a long sigh.
Finally, I'm done. Tomorrow is the first meeting of the Justice League.
He took out a small remote control from his bosom, and then slowly flew into the sky, flying to a height where others could not hear the sound.
Under the control of the Metal Spirit, the small remote control seemed to come alive, boiling in the moonlight.
"Shazam!" Chen Tao roared, and then a lightning bolt struck him, causing his whole body to change color.
The lightning logo wrapped in lightning merged with the Batman logo and appeared on his chest, and the mask that originally covered half of his face turned into a cloak with two pointed ears.
The thief of lightning power stood at a height of thousands of meters, wantonly overlooking the entire land. Then, the remote control-like thing in Chen Tao's hand suddenly reacted under the action of lightning, and instantly turned into countless tiny black sands, merging and interweaving with the lightning wrapped around Chen Tao. The lightning on his body not only did not help him resist the restraint of the so-called remote control, but instead joined in with joy and tied himself up tightly.
Chen Tao groaned and dispersed the power of the Metal Spirit.
For most DC magic, power is like a real cake. When you share it with others, you can never take it back, just like Red of All Creatures can't take back the superpowers of Animal Man out of thin air. He can only catch him, break him into pieces, and then take away his power bit by bit.
But this law is a special case for Billy: unlike the direct seizure that Black Adam wants, when Billy actively shares his magic, it is essentially a borrowing. Billy himself is the real host of the power of Thunder Shazam, and even the wizard Shazam who gave him this power cannot take it away.
So it seems that Billy can arbitrarily take back the power shared by himself, but the problem is that this sharing comes from the love for his family.
This is exactly why the meditation mite chose to control Billy's father: no matter how angry Billy was because old Batson abandoned him, Billy would love him in the end, and Billy would always be connected with him, because he was Billy's father, and Billy could do nothing about it.
So why can't we try to change our thinking.
Using the power of the Bat Mage's irony magic, Chen Tao can make Billy share his magic power with him even if he doesn't regard him as a family member. The necessary price is that as long as Billy wants, he can take back the power of Shazam that he lent to Chen Tao at any time. But no matter what, Chen Tao has become Shazam, and there is a lot of room for maneuver.
For example, it can mix the power of the Metal Spirit into Billy's Shazam power and then share it with others, just like a liquor distributor.
Billy gave him the purest white wine, without anything else. And Chen Tao, a black-hearted businessman, mixed a large amount of alien magic energy called "Metal Spirit" into it, and even more crazy, he added a lot of control magic.
Not only did he want to give this blended "wine" to others to drink, he also equipped everyone with a so-called remote control.
This thing is called a remote control on the surface, but it is actually an accelerated reactor of the Metal Spirit. It can react with the power of Shazam that has been added to the Metal Spirit, greatly accelerating the Metal Spirit's ability to control the host. It is equivalent to letting people drink fake wine and putting betel nuts in it. It is extremely unethical.
Chen Tao thought about this while turning on the communicator.
Then, a message from Lucius attracted his attention.
"Batman, you have to look at this. Clark also mentioned this to me before. But you were busy, so he didn't bother you in the end."
Chen Tao clicked on the email and entered the news link in it.
The reporter who reported it was Lois Lane, as expected.
"Lex Luthor Group launches a new Superman? But people prefer to call him Superboy"
"Superboy stays at the bar overnight"
"Superboy says Batman is garbage"
There is a hot word next to this entry.
"emmm..."
Chen Tao touched his chin. "I didn't notice it, and Luthor really brought out Superman. I have to deal with this matter too."
He held his head with a headache.
"There are so many things to do... I can't stop for a moment."
Ahhhhhhhh I'm going to retire!
Then he was like a deflated ball.
"Forget about it, Lucius." He replied to Lucius.
"How are you doing with the Batman superhero movie I asked you to find a way to shoot for me?"
Chen Tao wrote.
"I must let everyone know about Batman and expand the influence of this name as much as possible."
