Chapter 341 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes (Back to the Main Story!)

Death Valley, California.

"Power doesn't corrupt, fear does. Perhaps it's the fear of losing power..."

Clang.

A leather boot stepped on the hollow iron mesh steps, and the sound was particularly eye-catching in the empty corridor.

This is the Berelf Prison of the Eye Society. The villains such as Cheetah, Steel Beam, Shrapnel, and Giganta were imprisoned here before and after being defeated by Batman and Wonder Woman.

As one of the superhuman prisons controlled by the government, Amanda Waller has devoted enough effort to this prison. Not only has it deployed enough defenses to deal with Superman's attacks, but in order to prevent criminals from escaping, she also specially invited Batman to use Brainiac's technology to reinforce it.

She knew that even if she didn't let Batman intervene, the other party would still take action. In this case, it would be better to let Batman's behavior be under her control.

In short, sandwiched between Batman's entire Justice League and the government, Amanda Waller found her own balance point.

A small part of this prison belongs to Batman and the Justice League, although Batman has never placed his prisoners in this prison; the other part belongs to people in the government, such as the messy government organizations that Amanda Waller has no right to ask about except the Sky Eye Bureau, such as the Shogi Club; there is even a part open to colleagues that Amanda Waller thinks are threatening enough, such as the Shadow Agent Bureau. Amanda Waller has seen the old man who looks like a little girl in elementary school and her biological commandos.

Frankly speaking, people who hear this design for the first time will definitely think that such a prison design is simply idiotic. If you just want to build a prison, how can so many forces place their own forces in the prison? Isn't this a sieve?

It can only be said that people who think this way don't understand politics. For some people in the government, they will never allow Amanda Waller to own a prison that they can't interfere with at all.

These people are powerful. If Amanda Waller cannot resist such people, she might as well give up some of them in exchange for retaining most of the control of this prison.

She took the initiative to abandon the useless or dispensable parts of this prison in exchange for the absolute iron wall under her control.

She carefully selected every guard to ensure that there would be no spies from any other forces or bribes. She even found a piece of land in the wealthy area of ​​​​New York for the families of these soldiers to live.

Since the establishment of this prison, this has been her base camp. No one has ever been able to invade here, and no prisoners have ever escaped. However, recently, several escapes of Cheetah and Black Manta have cast a shadow on the reputation of this prison as an iron wall.

For this reason, Amanda Waller has strengthened security more than three times, striving to ensure that there will be no problems. The escape of Cheetah and Black Manta has made Amanda Waller lose face. After Batman and Wonder Woman caught them back, Amanda Waller could not allow her people to let them go again. Therefore, the Berelv Prison is in a critical stage of full martial law at this time.

But to be honest, this is very strange. Black Manta and Cheetah were not imprisoned in this prison for the first day. Why did they escape frequently in the recent period of time? It was just like going home, coming and going as they please?

Clang!

The pair of boots stepped down the suspended wire steps step by step, and soon came to a closed iron door.

Click, click.

The pair of boots walked towards the two guards in front of the iron door.

"Good morning, gentlemen."

The owner of the boots said. The voice sounded very gentle, polite, and full of masculine intellectuality. Even if you can't see the face, the first moment you hear this voice, you will feel that the owner of this voice must be a gentle and elegant poetic handsome man.

"No entry without permission, sir." The guard said, "Please stop. This is the restricted area announced by Ms. Waller." The guard took a close look at the badge of the visitor, and his tone slowed down a little, becoming more polite: "Sir, you must stop here. We have been strictly told that due to the previous jailbreak, everyone must-" "There is no need to do this." The guard saw the man in leather boots and said in a gentle voice: "It's really unnecessary." The guard took a deep breath and repeated again: "Sir-" However, at this time, he heard the owner of the boots say: "You would rather kill each other." "What? What..." Bang bang bang bang bang! There was a burst of gunfire in front of the iron gate, but the strange thing was that the countless alarm measures originally prefabricated on the iron gate were all silent, as if they did not exist. Bullets tore flesh and fragments cut arteries. The two guards who shot each other into sieves lay on the ground, making hoarse sounds with their last breath, but they were still trying to pull the trigger of the submachine gun with an empty magazine. "Thank you."

The owner of the boots said, he stepped carefully over the two bodies on the ground, and stepped over the pool of blood with his shiny boots. The blood stained it, like a nice layer of olive oil for his boots.

"Walk through here... This area is what Amanda Waller calls "The Crypt"... The world's top secret prison, used to hold a handful of dangerous criminals."

The owner of the boots walked along the corridor and soon came to a huge hall.

His figure was stretched out by the corridor lights and projected on an experimenter in a white coat in the hall. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow due to the backlight, making it difficult to see his face.

"What are you doing here?!"

The experimenter in the white coat screamed: "You don't have the authority to come here!"

"Come to release the prisoners, doctor."

"No!" The white coat flatly rejected him: "You don't understand at all, what we have experienced in order to detain them, do you really know who they are? They don't belong to this world!"

"I know. Now, let them out."

The shadow said.

The owner of the boots didn't threaten him, he just gave the order in a normal way.

But the doctor's whole body began to tremble.

"Why... why are you doing this?"

The doctor in the white coat delayed as much time as possible. He had heard countless footsteps coming towards him not far from the corridor.

But he couldn't control his body. He kept manipulating something on the computer console next to him, releasing what the boot owner wanted him to release against his own will. He tried to refuse, but he was powerless.

"Because I believe in the second chance." He heard the boot owner say: "Sometimes I seem to feel that the end of the world has come and gone..."

"Don't let him escape!" The noisy voices piled in the corridor finally approached the room.

With a bang, in an instant, a large number of guards wearing protective clothing, wearing white iron masks on their faces, and armed to the teeth with various weapons rushed out of the door behind them: "Catch him!"

The boot owner turned around: "But I still have hope."

Swish!

A figure as fast as a startled bird appeared behind him, and a flaming blade chopped off the soldier's head as if it were alive, and the movement was as easy as pulling a small tomato from a small tomato tree on the roadside.

The boot owner raised his head slightly, and then closed his eyes.

"I hope I can encourage everyone to do better."

A green light penetrated the poor soldiers. Although those mortal soldiers were wearing heavy bulletproof armor, they were still annihilated under this green light.

"I only need some brave souls who can bear the weight of the world..."

The floor tiles under the feet of many soldiers broke. One by one, the steel bars mixed into the building drilled through the surface like snakes and strangled the soldiers. Some soldiers' lower bodies and some steel bars even drilled into the soldiers' bodies, which looked terrible.

The helpless screams of the soldiers were connected, creating a lot of horror atmosphere in this house out of thin air.

"And have the will to sacrifice all their lives to save others."

Puff! A stream of blood splashed on the professor's face. He trembled and collapsed to the ground. The blood seemed to be gushing out of a squeezed bag.

The raised butcher knife was reflected in his pupils.

"I love this world..."

The doctor in the white coat gasped heavily. He felt his alveoli groaning and gushing blood foam. He realized that the other party deliberately did not kill him, just to satisfy his desire to watch him slowly die.

So he could only desperately twitch and suck air again and again, and then desperately watched them leak out of his broken trachea, and not a breath could enter his lungs.

Before he died, he heard the murderer who invaded the Berelf prison say: "But something has changed...something must change."

"It seems that I am the only one who can realize that humanity is falling apart, and those who have the power to correct the chaos are at a loss."

The owner of the boot stood in front of the many shadows that were released, and then he snapped his fingers.

"We can take advantage of this, so I released you from prison."

He looked at the hideous monsters fearlessly, with the same hideous smile on his lips.

"You have long been forgotten, you have been betrayed by those you once trusted. You represent the government's darkest secrets and dirty past. And united, we can complete a cause that we have started for a long time."

He walked slowly around the released monsters.

"If you help me find what I need, I will help you fulfill your wish. All of you." He promised, "I will help you kill Amanda Waller." "Hey, that sounds better than singing." The owner of the boots heard a strange laugh at this time, as hoarse as the cry of a vulture before pecking at carrion, making people feel uncomfortable. "Then what is your purpose? What benefits can you get?" The owner of the boots looked up and saw the five people sitting in front of him. The space mercenary Baolang used a corpse as a seat, put one foot on the cut brain, and twisted it with the sole of the shoe. His name is Rob, a Zanian. He was born on Czarnia and killed all the people on his planet when he was 17 years old. As an interstellar bounty hunter, he has black hair standing upside down, red eyes, pale skin, and an immortal body. Standing behind him is Dr. Polaris, a master who can manipulate magnetism. He folds his arms and a bright purple light is reflected behind his forehead.

He is the world's greatest master of magnetism. He can easily use magnetism to lift and move heavy objects, control iron particles in the air, and even change the earth's magnetic field. He can also use magnetism to fly, control any natural or artificial electromagnetic field, or create an impenetrable electromagnetic force field to defend against any mental, energy or physical attack.

(Note: This person is one of the inspirations for Magneto in Marvel next door.)

The Emerald Queen stood on his right hand. She was dressed in green and a huge eyeball was floating on her forehead. It was the Emerald Eye of Ekron, an extremely dangerous and deadly weapon.

And standing next to the three of them was Johnny Solo, the agent of death and the enemy of the Justice Society. His head was a floating mask.

Rustam stood at the end. He was a strong man in a cloak, holding a burning flame knife in his hand.

"Me?"

The owner of the boots hesitated for a moment.

He gently pinched his nose with his right hand, and then shook off a few drops of blood that flowed out of it.

"You see, Batman has no time to care about what we are doing now. I helped his son Damian hack into his database, and now he must be worried about his son accidentally defeating the companions he arranged for the other party." "I caused an earthquake, provoked a war, and successfully dispersed all the members of the Justice League. They were busy. I took away the power of the Cheetah, and then returned some of the Cheetah's abilities to her at the right time, and just now I let her go again." "Batman, who is unable to split his time, will have to hunt her down in person, and after hunting down the Cheetah, he will have to go back to deal with Damian's affairs. This will greatly delay his time." "And all things will bring me an opportunity, an opportunity for me to come to you, everyone-" "I tell you this because I hope you can know how much I have paid to see you."

The owner of the boots bent down slightly, then wiped the blood from his nose:

"Let's meet formally--"

"My name is Maxwell Lord, from the Shogi Club."

"I can save the world."

(Note: Maxwell Lord, Wonder Woman's villain, telepath, and the strongest one. The most famous thing is that in the comics, he once controlled Superman's mind to attack Batman and Wonder Woman, and conspired to threaten the safety of the world. In order to stop him, Wonder Woman was forced to break his neck, but Lord anticipated his own death and broadcast the video of Wonder Woman killing him to the world, successfully destroying Wonder Woman's reputation. This incident, along with "Death in the Family" where the second-generation Robin Jason Todd was beaten to death by the Joker, and "Emerald Twilight" where 7 million people died in Coast City and Hal Jordan turned into Parallax Demon, became one of the three reasons that Superboy-Prime believed that there was no hope in the world.)
