Chapter 146 Betting

Hual ... That's why she's now forced to stay at home on vacation instead of in the FBI meeting room.

Amanda Waller sighed.

Every time she reviewed Blake's behavior, she always felt that there were many strange things.

What's going on?

According to psychological analysis, Blake would never use such radical means to practice his little fascist ideas at this time.

A week before the other party interfered in the internal affairs of the two countries, Amanda gave the entire Extreme League a psychological test.

They were in good mental state, and all the assessment reports were completely normal. She even talked to them on the weekend and had a pleasant exchange. Why did the other party suddenly do such a stupid thing as stealing the country and cutting themselves off from the government?

Even if they were going to do it, why were they so anxious?

But it had already happened, and everything was meaningless.

Amanda shook her head.

No matter what their reasons were, the government would never allow the Extreme League to continue to grow like this.

After drying herself, Amanda Waller put on a formal suit and returned to her bedroom.

Soon, a vertical video of Superman and Blake's group fighting over the incident of the dispute between the two countries was played on the computer screen.

The video was processed twice, and many key parts of the battle were slowed down and explained with text data.

While watching, Waller once again pondered the comparison of Blake and Superman's fighting power in her mind.

But the next second, she paused.

Because the computer where the video was supposed to appear now showed the scene of Luther and Batman confronting each other.

Amanda slapped the table and stood up from the sofa chair, almost slipping.

How is it possible?

In order to prevent Batman from invading her home data network like entering a public toilet again, she has already physically disconnected the network. He believes that even the world's top hackers, with their ability to reach the sky, will never be able to remotely project images onto a computer that is not connected to the Internet!

At the microscopic level that cannot be seen by the naked eye, Chen Tao's robots are working hard to carry signals.

Amanda Waller opened her eyes wide.

"... a dangerous character like you, you won't be able to figure out what I did..."

"... you didn't get ■■■, nor did you get ■■."

Amanda narrowed her eyes, she was sure that the place with the deliberately blurred voice must be someone very important to Superman. If she got hold of that person, maybe she could..."

Ding ding ding ding ding ding——

The phone rang. Amanda Waller picked up the phone, and President Wilson's voice came from it: "Ms. Waller, I don't know if you have seen the video that someone hacked and sent to us."

Amanda Waller suddenly realized that the other party's video... or live broadcast, was not sent to her alone, but to everyone.

"Batman confronting Luthor is playing on the big screen of your meeting, right?"

Amanda's first reaction was to be furious: "Today is the day when the bet we monitored broke out, and you actually blocked the news from me!"

But then, Waller calmed down: "Damn it, what does Batman want to do?"

She looked at the screen: "What's the point of this? "

Then she heard Luther on the screen say:

"With a friend like you, who needs an enemy?"

"This is..."

Luther picked up the kryptonite bullet thrown by Chen Tao. The Paris arrow that shot into Achilles' ankle had its appearance insidiously made into the style of an ordinary bullet.

Luther knew that Superman never avoided bullets. If he hadn't used his perspective eyes to scan the core of the bullet in advance, he would most likely find out what it was made of after the bullet hit his chest.

It was so insidious.

The folding kryptonite short spear had the ability to eject to assist in stabbing, and was also lined with lead, insidious.

And the kryptonite knife and the spray gun, Luther suddenly laughed:

"I see. I understand, Batman, our goals are the same. We never believed in Superman - I mean, it seems that we agree."

He said: "Yes, what Superman did was not a heroic act, but a whim of an irresistible force that could easily destroy Metropolis, just like he held up a falling plane in the air."

"And you, us. We can feel the threat of Superman."

"Our actions are not based on the lack of personal security, but because we realize that Superman's position poses a threat to the world. Our goal is not to make Superman surrender, but to save mankind before Superman surrenders! You know, Bat-"

Then he heard Batman say: "The only thing we have to prevent Superman from persecuting mankind is Superman's own promise?"

Luthor was startled. Why did Batman steal his lines?

Then he nodded immediately: "Yes, yes! You are right."

He said: "My..."

Chen Tao immediately said: "Your motivation is not from insignificant evil, but from selfless kindness. You are just an ordinary person. You know very well that what you can do is to make people open their eyes and change their views on Superman, let them stop, let them say, 'Maybe he is not so perfect.'"

"So you murdered the villain Snakeskin and used him to fake the death of Superman's girlfriend?"

"..."

It feels so weird that all my lines were taken away by Batman.

"Yes." Luthor said: "Superman will show his true self at this time-"

But he didn't finish his words at all, and saw Batman pressing his earphone with his fingers: "Did you all hear it?"

Luthor frowned.

"What are you talking about?"

"Yes, we all heard it, Batman."

Luthor's face darkened, and he saw Batman open his arm armor and also open a holographic projection.

Amanda Waller, who was sitting in front of her computer, and all the senior officials in the conference room appeared in this image.

"To be honest, I'm tired of your endless suspicion of Superman."

Chen Tao added in his heart: You always don't trust Superman, how can I retire with peace of mind and leave everything to him?

"So, taking advantage of this opportunity today, I suddenly had an idea. Let's make a bet, everyone. I will mosaic it, you won't know Superman's true identity, but let's bet on Superman today. I bet he will never change his code of conduct because of his girlfriend's death, never."

"The reason you oppose Superman is nothing more than Luthor's set. But today I will prove one thing to you. Superman is never as threatening as you think."

Luthor widened his eyes. He looked at Batman who had left him aside, and preached his theory to the holographic projections of those government officials:

"I want to show you the human side of Superman. During this period, I have read your confidential documents. Every one of them is predicting the scene after Superman turns bad, as if he is some kind of mentally unstable super pervert."

Luthor heard Batman say: "You are wrong."

"You...hahahaha!" Luthor looked at him in a daze, and then suddenly laughed:

"You have anticipated this situation a long time ago? God, you have anticipated this situation a long time ago. You acquiesced to my calculations on Superman and acquiesced to my testing him. Admit it, deep in your heart, are you also full of doubts about him?"

He said loudly:

"If you really believe in Superman as you said, why do you need to prove it to those government people?"

Of course not.

Chen Tao thought silently in his heart.

Luthor's thoughts were wrong. Of course, he could not have anticipated the other party's plan, but as everyone said, he would always be prepared for anything that might happen.

He had already penetrated the electronic devices of those high-ranking government officials, like a sieve.

And Luthor happened to be there.

So he took advantage of the situation and showed those government people what kind of person Superman really is.

Of course, he did not imagine that the government would give up all its plans against Superman just by the fact that "Superman is a good person".

But the important thing is that after he proved Superman's goodness in front of these government officials, he would have an excuse and morality for whatever he did in the future for some actions of the government against Superman.

If he won the bet, if Superman really showed everyone the glorious side of his humanity, then everything he did after Batman to protect Superman would be logical, at least officially no one would have an excuse or reason to target Superman.

If he lost the bet...

He felt that Superman would not become a terrible person, but if Superman's temperament really changed because of Louis' death, if he really lost the bet...

Then he could just return Louis to Superman, and then "Poke, it's snake skin!"

But if that's the case, Chen Tao feels that he should seriously consider the issue of retirement.

He doesn't want to enjoy retirement for a few years and then suddenly see Superman punching through the Joker's heart on the news, and then starting to rule the entire earth, slaughtering criminals everywhere, and leaving piles of corpses and rivers of blood.

If Superman becomes like this, he will never want to become what he used to be. He will... He will feel guilty for abandoning Superman and retiring by himself.

Chen Tao looked at the image projected by Luthor.

...

...

...

"Louis, I'm not trying to hit you, man, he can't be a reporter for a while, I mean it."

Superman knelt in panic, trying to help Louis, who was as soft as a lump of mud, up from the ground.

"Her heartbeat, I can still hear her heartbeat."

"Damn, you're such a fool."

Blake said, "You two aren't the only two people left in the universe, not even in this room. A little disappointing, the shock of this moment, after your life has been torn apart piece by piece, is even more shocking."

"See if we can sort out our thoughts a little bit, that heartbeat you crave like the Irish rely on corn beef chips? That's not his heartbeat, idiot, it's mine, Louis is dead."

Superman grabbed the body in a panic: "Impossible, Batman once told me that he has protected..."

"Batman is not omnipotent, Scout. Bane and those villains distracted him too much, and the hat trick will be out of control one day."

"You see how ridiculous your identity and your actions are now, don't you? Look, when I tell you that all of this is garbage, you should know that I am right."

Blake made a shooting gesture.

"Remember what you told me after you beat me?"

"Devotion pouring out of your sweat, blood, and breath, telling me how the fucking world works, spare my life, I guess that looks like a mess, doesn't it?"

"I'm going to pull you out of your ivory tower and tell you without a doubt how the cruel world works for real people."

"For the past few hours, you've been playing games, playing games between me and Luthor, you've beaten the shit out of every super villain who deserved to be shot into a wall, you've saved the city, fuck, I repeat, you've saved the world, idiot, everyone survived except one-"

"Lois Lane."

Superman was stunned.

"The most important point... your life is now a tragedy, your fate is no longer fair."

"You have cancer, your child was run over by a bus, your house was destroyed by an explosion, pain, loss and resentment, and hell followed one after another. You finally became a human like us! How do you feel?"

Blake stood in front of Superman, and his telepathic ability released his power without scruples.

Superman fell to the ground helplessly. He used his perspective eyes to scan over and over again, confirming Louis' body again and again, but only got the real confirmation.

Not a mud face, not a fake, not an illusion, not everything, the DNA comparison is exactly the same, Louis is really dead, and died in front of him.

His eyes glowed red.

"You are a mind reader, come and read me."

Intense hot eyes burst out from his eye sockets, knocking Blake back.

The telepath got up from the ground.

"That's love. You've become a human. I've said it before, you're no better than me. When we have no choice, we're both beasts."

Blake laughed grimly.

Chen Tao behind the screen had no expression on his face.

Luthor's eyes showed the excitement of a beast.

The audience whispered.

Superman roared to the sky.
