Chapter 253 A Man and a Woman: Wonder Woman and Batman
"I'm impressed by your technology."
On a plane over the Pacific Ocean, sitting at this moment is David Hyde, who has another name that is more well-known to the world:
[Black Manta]
After the Brainiac incident, all the villains who participated in the fight against Brainiac were given legal status in recognition of their contributions to the protection of the earth, and Black Manta was one of them.
After getting legal status and settling the money with Batman, he immediately disappeared and has been out of the public's sight for a long time.
But how could he appear on this plane at this time?
At this time, sitting opposite Black Manta is a woman in black. She wears a sniper scope on her left eye like Deadshot, and her figure is slender and slender.
She said:
"Thank you for noticing Black Manta. The stealth aircraft can stay in the air for weeks at a time, which allows N.E.M.O. to collect intelligence around the world more effectively and respond."
"Okay." Black Manta said: "Black Jack, where are you taking me?"
The woman named Black Jack replied: "You will know, but now is not the time."
She blew a sip of the hot tea in her hand.
"Then let's change the subject." Black Manta also held up his hot tea: "What exactly is N.E.M.O.? You invited me to join your organization, but you never told me too much."
"Likewise, you will know..."
"No, Black Jack." Black Manta put the hot tea on the table: "I have heard this, you can tell me now."
Black Manta looked at Black Jack's face. An unnatural look flashed on the woman's face.
This is an inquiry technique. He knew that Black Jack would not answer the first question, but he still asked it. Well, now when he asked the real question, the other party couldn't refuse, and even if he refused, he had an excuse to attack.
"Okay." The woman named Black Jack said.
She put down the tea and hugged the bulge on her chest: "N.E.M.O., the Maritime Order Enforcement Organization."
"Hey, you people actually have your own abbreviations."
"Who are you talking about?"
"You secret societies. The Secret Society of Super Villains (the organization of the villains [Outsiders] in the previous article), the Justice League, and so on."
Black Manta said: "I bet you just love to put on your capes and gather at the big table and giggle."
Black Manta was deliberately belittling them, trying to induce her to tell her more information, but Black Jack didn't care: "Like you, it's ridiculous."
Black Manta continued:
"Is irony so unappreciated? Explain to me your disgusting acronym. What do you want? Rule the world?"
"We prefer to control its activities." Black Jack said. "Yeah, using the sea?" Black Jack shook his head: "The ocean is the life of this planet. It undoubtedly determines the growth of climate, organisms, agriculture, transportation, traffic, safety..." Black Manta added: "If you control the ocean, you control everything?" "Yes, and we do control the ocean. The Maritime Order Enforcement Organization was founded in 1872, and we have always remained completely secretive." Black Jack said: "We have been developing our technology. We gained control of the ocean in 1983, and we have been improving our ideas since then. Now, it's time to act more openly. The countries in the world are simply vulnerable to us, they just don't know it yet. But before we reveal our identity, there is still one last stumbling block to deal with." "Aquaman of Atlantis." Black Manta gave the answer. "You are right." Black Jack replied, "Our leader [Fisherman] will like you."
"Aquaman is the enemy who killed my father, and our cooperation is natural. That's why I agreed to your recruitment without hesitation."
Black Manta said, "As long as I can kill Aquaman, I can do anything."
He said submissive words, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
Idiot.
Do you really think you are here to recruit me?
How can I follow you without investigating you thoroughly?
……
……
"What? Me?"
Superboy Connor pointed at his nose.
"Me, with Batman, go to that Atlantis? The city under the deep sea?" He muttered:
"It's ridiculous. I mean, I thought the so-called mission was that Batman and I flew in the air, met the news media, ate chocolate ice cream, and then changed a photo of us as our avatar, and went to the Twitter trending search, and then-"
"……"
Luthor sat next to Superboy Connor and felt very embarrassed.
As a veteran who has been engaged in the career of super villains for many years, Luthor originally thought that the feeling of shame had been expelled from every little hole in his hair. He is the cold and outstanding Lex Luthor, the smartest human being, the evil...
"——After we finish trending on Twitter, we will each find our own mothers and go back to our own homes. Oh, hell, although we don't have mothers. I am a clone, and Batman, you told me before that he..."
"... Shut up."
Luthor's face was dark.
What on earth did I synthesize? !
This damn clone has half the genes of a smart person like me, Lex Luthor! Why is he so stupid? What went wrong?
Luthor said expressionlessly: "If you dare to speak in this tone again when you see Batman later, I will kill you."
"I'm sorry." Superboy Connor immediately admitted his mistake.
In fact, in just a few seconds, the smart and "top" bald guy had realized the reason why Superboy Connor became so awesome.
Because the Lex Luthor Group wanted to create a friendly personality, clones like Superboy Connor were not aimed at the purpose of "I need a biological weapon" when the project was established, so his emotions were no different from normal people from the time he left the factory, especially after adding half of Lex Luthor's own genes.
Luthor himself had no parenting experience (crossed out), and he didn't abuse young children like the Batman next door. In addition, he was busy with other things. He only gave Connor the task of doing justice and accumulating reputation for Lex Group, and then went to do his own thing. As a result, Connor was hanging out with the media every day and became like this.
Luthor knew that he should take strong measures to deal with it, otherwise it would not only be Connor's own reputation that would be ruined...
Superboy Connor looked at Luthor's fierce eyes and shuddered with fear, then quickly pointed at Luthor's back: "Ah, look, Batman!"
"Mr. Luthor, nice to meet you."
Luthor turned his head and saw Wonder Woman Diana next to Batman, holding a golden lasso in his hand - Luthor's eyes were attracted by the lasso at the first time.
According to the intelligence submitted to him by the insider he planted in the government, this lasso is called the "Lasso of Truth", which is said to make people who come into contact with it tell the truth.
For someone like Luthor who is used to lying, this is definitely something he doesn't want to touch.
"Nice to meet you, Batman." He frowned, and with some disdain, he dragged Superboy Connor, who was standing next to him and staring at the couple curiously, to his front like a kindergarten kid, and then pushed him forward.
"This is the content of our deal. You can ask him to do anything, whether it's going to the bottom of the sea tens of thousands of meters deep to fight with superhumans who talk to fish, or helping to serve tea and water, it's all up to you."
He said, "And I want to join the Justice League."
Superboy Connor was a little confused at first, not knowing what "deal" was, and then he reacted and looked at Luthor in disbelief: "So you sold me?!"
"No, I'm just borrowing it. Shut up and stop talking." Luthor scolded him.
"Oh oh oh." Connor made a zipper-up gesture.
"Of course, we pay for the goods." Chen Tao said, while he pulled the Superboy Connor who made a "hey" sound to his side, and then took out an information entry device - Luthor didn't even notice how he took this thing out from behind his buttocks. Could it be a nano-technology on-site reorganization?
Luthor felt his eyelids twitching.
Batman's technology has reached this level?
Wrong, it's the magic of the Metal Spirit.
The information entry device groaned for a while, and soon printed out a physical card with Luthor's unhappy egg head printed on it.
Luthor himself didn't notice when Batman took a photo of him.
Chen Tao handed the card to Luthor: "Your information has been entered, and you have the authority."
Luthor took the card with satisfaction.
Very good, things went better than expected. Soon he will be able to use all his knowledge to fight openly and secretly in the league, and through a series of means, he will eliminate Batman's influence in the league, thereby undermining the other party and becoming the actual leader of the Justice League, the human rescue organization. Then things will be simple.
Lex Luthor saves the world!
Hehehehehehe...
"Since you are now a member of the Justice League, I will leave a lot of things to you when I am not here."
Chen Tao said: "You have to mobilize the members of the league and maintain: Waterfront City, Central City, Keystone City, Gotham City, Metropolis, Boston, Seattle, San Diego..."
He read out a long list of cities like a menu, and then said: "You have to dispatch these heroes reasonably and let them finish the work in an orderly manner."
Without waiting for Luthor to say anything, he continued: "Lucius has some experimental problems that you have to participate in. You will report there in the afternoon. Poison Ivy needs your help, Dr. Silas Stone needs your help, and the government..."
For some reason, Luthor felt that Batman's tone was even a little... cheerful?
"There is one more important thing. You have to teach all the members of the Justice League to work as a team. The training will be held tonight..."
Connor, who was sold to Batman by Luthor, watched Batman keep giving instructions for a long time, and then Luthor thought he was calm and solemn, but in fact he left happily.
Connor was left alone to look at Batman.
"..."
!!!
Batman is looking at me, what should I do?
"Go and report to Supergirl." Connor finally heard the order, and he left as if he had been pardoned, and then Chen Tao grabbed his collar again: "Don't leave in a hurry, this is your ID card, you can call other members of the Justice League after you carry it on your back, and the AI can also show you the way."
After Superboy Connor left, Chen Tao and Diana also left the Justice League building and went to the Bat Cave.
Chen Tao synchronized with the Bat Wizard and simply learned the spell of using the Lasso of Truth from Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman is a demigod, so she naturally doesn't need a spell to use the Lasso of Truth, but Chen Tao is not necessarily the case. Unless he plans to use the Lasso of Truth as an ordinary rope like those villains, otherwise if he wants to use the Lasso of Truth to trap the enemy who is struggling with some strength, he has to study the spell a little bit first.
Frankly speaking, this is not complicated, and Chen Tao quickly figured it out.
"Well, I'm glad you can lend me your Lasso of Truth. This will greatly gain the trust of Aquaman and save us some effort on this trip."
He said.
"Yeah." Wonder Woman nodded: "It should be."
Chen Tao tutted his lips and started to make small talk.
"Well, I'm busy recently, so I can't stay with the people in the alliance to train coordination, but I will have time soon."
"Yeah." Wonder Woman nodded.
"Well, I've already told you about the spy Cyborg Superman, uh, we will use other plans to deceive him when the time comes."
"Yeah." Wonder Woman said: "Okay."
The atmosphere has gradually become awkward to an unparalleled level.
Just when Chen Tao was about to be unable to bear this awkward chat and decided to find an excuse to leave, send Wonder Woman away, and then prepare for his trip to Atlantis tomorrow, he heard Alfred's voice coming from the corridor of the Bat Cave: "Bruce, who is visiting the Bat Cave?"
Usually, people would come to greet them as soon as they entered the Bat Cave, but this time, the old butler Alfred came late and was wearing pajamas - God knows why Alfred would wear pajamas when it was not even dark, as if he had just woken up and looked dazed, but he just wore it.
In short, he said, "Wow, it's Diana." He walked up to Diana and shook her hand enthusiastically: "Welcome to the Batcave, Miss Prince! Bruce has mentioned you to me many times. I am Alfred, Bruce's butler, welcome to the Bat...Aha, I forgot that this is not your first time here, please feel free, feel free. Just treat the Batcave as your own home, what do you want to eat? Milk pudding? Alfred's secret sandwich with caviar? Oh, of course, and coffee..." "Actually it is the first time." Chen Tao reminded him from the side: "You remembered it wrong, Alfred, Diana has never been here before..." Then he was stared at by Alfred inexplicably. Unjust! Why are you staring at me? "Ahaha, I'll prepare a cup of coffee for you--"
"Ah, don't bother, Alfred." Diana waved her hands: "I'm leaving soon--"
"Since you're here, sit for a while. This is a rare opportunity." But Diana was interrupted by Alfred:
"You know, Bruce used your photo as the desktop wallpaper of his computer."
Chen Tao's eyes widened in vain.
God damn desktop wallpaper... He only looked at the information and photos of the Justice League members...
Well, although he had read Wonder Woman's information for a long time, he definitely had never set Wonder Woman's photo as the desktop in front of others-after practicing for so long, he almost played the magic of Metal Spirit. Who knows who he used as the cover before? Alfred must have been guessing.
He wanted to say something to Alfred, but the other party had already run away. Even the Flash Barry Allen would be amazed at this speed and admit defeat.
Chen Tao turned his head stiffly and saw Wonder Woman Diana Prince walking towards him swayingly, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Hmm?" She made a pleasant sound.
