Chapter 2924 When Night Falls (XVI)
Chapter 2898 When Night Falls (Sixteen)
Batman received a request for help from the Justice League.
This can be said to be adding fuel to the fire, taking advantage of the fire, and kicking the cripple's good leg, but it can also be regarded as the daily life of Batman and the Justice League.
There is such a strange phenomenon, that is, if Batman is not in trouble, the Justice League will not be in trouble. Once Batman is overwhelmed and busy dealing with various crises of the Bat Family, the Justice League will definitely find trouble and come to bother him.
This universe is obviously the same. When Batman was sure of victory before, the Justice League did not move. Now Schiller is involved in the cycle of multiple relationships. Batman is busy kicking him out, but the Justice League has sent a letter.
In fact, it’s not a big deal. The main reason is that the expansion of vampires makes them feel worried. Previously, this kind of creature only appeared on the East Coast, but recently, Seaside City and Star City have also shown traces of vampire activities.
This means that this is not the kind of small fight as before. The plan to block the sun may actually be implemented, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Justice League.
As the brain of the Justice League, how can Batman not be there at this time? The Hall of Justice immediately sent a message to the Batcave, and the wording was quite harsh, asking Batman to go there immediately.
What made Batman feel even more sad was that although he wanted to kick Schiller out of the Bat Family, when something like this happened, he could only consult Schiller, and he couldn't even bring Dick.
Because the possibility of Schiller being a vampire was too low, even lower than the possibility that he himself was a vampire.
"They asked you to go over?" In the Batcave, Schiller held a teacup, looked at the content on the communicator, frowned slightly and said, "It seems that they are a little bit complaining about why you are not here now. You used to give them such hope, that is, if something happens, you must have anticipated it earlier than them and taken precautions."
"It is true most of the time."
"But this time is different, because the conflict broke out first within the Bat Family, and you haven't had time to take charge of the overall situation." Schiller put down the teacup, tapped the table with his fingers and said, "If you go over now, it proves that you are indeed not prepared, which will greatly reduce their confidence, so it is better to do the opposite."
"You mean..." Batman immediately understood.
In the past, Batman notified them of everything that happened. Take this incident as an example. If it was a normal situation, Batman might have warned them a few months in advance that vampires might spread.
Although they would not listen, at least it would give them a feeling that everything is under Batman's control. No matter how bad the situation is, Batman will have a way. This is the spiritual pillar of the Justice League.
But on the one hand, Batman was busy with the affairs of the fighting world and neglected the real universe. On the other hand, as soon as he came back, the Bat family caught fire. He was busy putting out the fire here and failed to take care of the overall situation.
This is normal. According to Schiller's observation, the strength of Batman in this universe is not very high. It is far worse than Arkham Batman, and there is also a certain gap with the main universe Batman. Schiller feels that he is almost equivalent to the later Batman.
Before the operation came, although he had not read the comics, he probably knew that the Batman in this comic should have died in the early stage, otherwise the comics would not have been drawn in two parts. From this, it can be inferred that this Batman is average.
If it was Arkham Batman, this matter in the Bat family would have been solved long ago. Not to mention putting it all in a can, at least each person would have a hibernation capsule and thrown into the bottom of the Batcave to sleep. After all, there are still hundreds of trophies to achieve performance indicators, and there is no time to waste time here.
So Schiller is teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. If you don't have the diamond drill, don't take the porcelain job. It's obviously not the time to participate in the Justice League copy now. Let's solve the matter at hand first.
Batman also understood his intention. Anyway, he was really unprepared. Now he rushed to the Justice League. Not only could he not help much, but it would also give everyone the illusion that he was really unprepared, greatly reducing their trust.
It's better to pretend that everything is under control. You can urge me as much as you want. I won't move here. I actually expected it a long time ago, but I have other plans.
And Batman is also relatively familiar with the Justice League. Although the current vampires have some expansionary postures, they are far from the level of conquering the world. They just love to make a fuss.
So Batman sent a communication back, saying don't panic, I have more important things to do. Now everyone should go back to their own cities to garrison. Those who have not deployed cities should form teams to defend the blank areas and limit the activities of vampires as much as possible.
This can be considered as assigning tasks to them. Batman is not the kind of micro-manipulator, and the other members of the Justice League are not fools. At this point, most of the heroes of the Justice League can perform their duties and complete the tasks.
The strange thing is that half an hour after Batman sent this letter, the Hall of Justice actually replied.
They said that according to the current posture of vampires, the Justice League should come up with a better response plan, so they invited Batman to participate in the meeting.
Batman didn't understand. What is the current posture of vampires? Is it just because they shouted a slogan? The slogan of pea sandwiches ruling the world has been shouted for 50,000 years, and it is not worth it for all members of the Justice League to have a meeting.
The plan of putting a cover on the earth to block the sunlight sounds quite bluffing, but in the eyes of a real scientist like Batman, this is pure amateur science.
He doesn't know whether these winged mice know that the earth is rotating and revolving. If you want to block the global sunlight, unless you can make a whole spherical cover to cover the entire earth, you have to keep this shield relatively still with the earth and the sun, otherwise how can it always face the sun?
If you have the ability to make such a large shield not under the influence of gravity, relatively still with the earth in the universe, and not affect the tides and geological structures at all, then why don't you just build a spaceship and fly to a planet without sunlight? Why are you messing with the earth here?
This is a typical manifestation of the more ignorant you are, the more you dare to think. Why don't you just wrap up the sun? Then the entire solar system will be your territory, right?
Therefore, Batman was dismissive of the vampires' goal. Even if they knew magic, it would be too difficult to achieve.
Even if they could really achieve it, there were more useful methods and they didn't use this stupid method. Then the vampire king would basically say goodbye to bicycles.
Although Batman didn't quite understand the Justice League's attitude of being so serious, he still replied to a communication as patiently as possible, mainly to explain his ideas to them.
Now vampires are expanding everywhere just to make a fuss and involve the energy of superheroes.
Theoretically, it is right to ignore them, but the Justice League is all superheroes after all. They can't sit back and watch the cities being harmed, so even if it is not the best strategy, they must divide the troops.
Although the superheroes have been transferred back to their respective cities to target local vampires, Batman is still confident that after solving the problems of the Bat Family, he can find out the main personnel who implemented their whimsical plan.
So he sent such a communication, letting the superheroes follow their hearts, anyway, he will cover them.
But unexpectedly, the superheroes didn't appreciate his kindness this time and insisted on calling him over to discuss together.
Batman thought that it might be because the vampires were too tough this time, and the marketing of the so-called Vampire King was too successful, which made some people panic. It would be fine if they were appeased first and then arranged the plan.
Batman tried his best to appease the superheroes in the call back. He knew that most of the superheroes must be anxious to return to their own cities. He asked them not to have any psychological burden, to be city heroes first, and to let him control the overall situation. There would be no problem.
As a result, he received another call back in less than half an hour.
The content of the communication sent by the Hall of Justice this time stunned Batman. The main content was that we called you to come but you didn't come. Is it because you have betrayed us and become a vampire?
When seeing this, Batman was a little mentally confused. Is this human language?
Schiller laughed when he saw the content of this communication.
Indeed, the Bat Family now feels like playing Werewolf, but there is a premise, that is, they are a family. The relationship between Batman and Robin is not just colleagues, or superiors and subordinates, they are relatives.
Batman's main purpose in catching the traitor here is not to worry about the traitor interfering with work, but to worry that the traitor will hurt their feelings. He hopes to use a more gentle method to deal with members who may be transformed into vampires.
Just like Dick, although everyone has found that he is a little abnormal, since Batman didn't say anything, everyone will at most walk around him instead of turning against him.
If it is handled in a more rigid way, normal Robin and vampire Robin fight, no matter which side is injured, this matter can't end, even if Batman really develops a potion to transform vampires back, what about the people who were injured and sacrificed in this war? Can it be forgotten?
Of course not, this is destined to become a scar for the Bat Family. They hurt their relatives with their own hands. Let alone those who have not been transformed, even if those who have been transformed into vampires are saved, they cannot accept their own behavior.
Batman has not taken any tough action yet because the quarrel between brothers will end up hurting both sides, and the discord between children is mostly caused by the lack of morality of the elderly. It is not advisable to intensify the conflict when there is the ability to mediate.
Dick barely passed this level, but according to their own speculation, there is another traitor lurking in the Bat Family, and the previous conflict between the radicals and conservatives may have been provoked by this traitor.
Batman is playing Werewolf to catch the traitor here, not because he has no better solution, but purely because of his fatherly heart.
But the Justice League is of another nature.
First and foremost, this league is basically composed of adults, and the relationship between them is more like colleagues than a family.
Batman formed the Bat Family mainly to provide emotional support, mutual understanding and comfort, but the Justice League was formed to maintain peace on Earth, not to draw emotions from anyone and comfort the soul.
In this case, playing Werewolf to find the traitor when something goes wrong is a bit brain-dead.
