Chapter 242 The Number of People I Trust Is 0

Chapter 242 The number of people I trust is... 0

The Cyborg Superman squatted on the top of the building, silently talking to the voice ringing in his ears.

"Your name is Meditation Mite?"

An intriguing look flashed on his half-metal, half-organic face.

"Of course, of course. Batman is our enemy, but that doesn't mean we are friends."

He said: "Don't think you can threaten me by revealing my identity to Batman. Do you think he is a fool?"

But soon, he heard what Meditation Mite said, and his face finally changed.

"Wait..."

"You can open the channel without going through the mother box?"

He floated up.

"How to prove it?"

...

...

...

"We... Let's discuss this issue when I come back, Alfred."

Chen Tao frowned.

He said simply, and then immediately changed his itinerary, from going to Lucius Laboratory to the Bat Cave.

He was keenly aware of Alfred's emotions, but such an emotional outburst was not something Alfred would do.

Hey, listen.

Maybe Chen Tao knew that his next thought had no basis at all, which would make people think that he was suffering from paranoia, or that he was suffering from neurasthenia due to various pressures, and his brain was a little abnormal.

But he still thought so:

Someone was manipulating Alfred.

Maybe it was just a simple psychological suggestion, maybe just guiding the other party to see what he wanted to see, so as to use the other party's thoughts and guide the other party's behavior, and then use Alfred, the person closest to him, to try to influence him-Batman.

Chen Tao did not believe in coincidences. At the critical juncture of many things, Alfred suddenly and directly expressed his inner thoughts at this time, which was suspicious in itself.

This must be someone who deliberately did it, maybe just an action, a look.

This speculation has no basis, but it is an intuition, a sixth sense.

So... who would that person be?

When Chen Tao stepped into the Batcave, he saw Alfred sitting alone in the chair in front of the Batcomputer, like a dying mountain wave lingering in a position that it should have left long ago.

Alfred was browsing the photos on the Batcomputer.

On the smooth lawn, young Bruce squatted there, innocently grabbing the green grass with his palms that were not much bigger than walnuts.

"You are here, Master Bruce."

The old man turned his head. He smiled reluctantly and turned off the photos.

Chen Tao walked to his side in silence, carefully considering the words to talk to him.

"Alfred, I want to know why you asked me the question you asked me in the communication."

He finally used a slightly neutral sentence. This sentence can be translated as "How is my behavior not like retirement?" But it can also be interpreted as "Who exactly led you to have this idea?"

Of course, Alfred automatically used the former explanation.

He talked about recent events.

"Master Dick and the Suicide Squad have been dealing with crimes in Gotham recently. Penguin said he had turned over a new leaf and provided a lot of intelligence, which greatly increased the success rate of Master Dick's actions."

"Mr. Freeze and Lincoln March are working together. They have discovered the remnants of the Court of Owls, or the 'main force'. They are professional counterparts in dealing with the rats in the gutter of the Court of Owls."

Chen Tao stood beside him, listening quietly to the old man's chatter.

"Mr. Flash Barry Allen's superhero career has been very stable recently. He has captured another villain named Misty and sent them all to Iron Mountain Prison. I just provided Iron Mountain Prison with the superpower suppression device for prisoners in the Batcave some time ago."

"Oh, by the way, there is also Billy, Billy Batson, who is now the most famous superhero in New York! He is young, but he does a great job, but sometimes he is a little inferior."

"Wonder Woman is entangled with her nemesis, as always."

"And Supergirl. Some people also call her Superwoman. Did you know that the last time Master Dick was in trouble, Miss Kara Kent flew directly from Metropolis to Gotham to help him?"

"They are all young people with potential."

Alfred said.

"Master Bruce, I don't mean to say that you can completely entrust the affairs of the Justice League to them. I am still very clear that there are some matters that they are simply not capable of replacing you."

Alfred's voice was sincere, with a tone of hesitation and negotiation.

"I just think that sometimes, Master Bruce, why can't you try to teach them, bring them with you, try to let them face the crises you should have faced, and then..."

"Then gradually train them and find a successor among them." Chen Tao said: "When the successor can stand on his own, I can slowly retire and enjoy my retirement life."

"Yes, Master Bruce. But now you don't seem to have such an idea at all."

Alfred said:

"You can obviously call Flash Barry Allen or Supergirl Kara Kent from thousands of miles away with just one phone call. At their speed, it will take no more than 5 minutes to reach any corner of the earth. Or you can also bring Shazam Billy Batson or Master Dick in advance and let them participate in what you are doing, even Miss Diana can do it!"

The old man's words did not show any excitement or unwillingness, but Chen Tao knew that he was just deliberately using the skills he learned from his past career as an agent to carefully control his emotions.

He didn't want his Bruce to feel sorry for his sadness or sorrow.

He did a good job.

"Okay, I will do that. I just wasn't used to it before." Chen Tao showed a guilty expression on his face, and then became a little serious:

"You are right, Alfred, you woke me up. I still refer to the past methods of solving problems and do everything myself, fearing that others can't do it well, but I ignore that if I still solve everything by myself, it will only make my teammates useless and make them unable to bear my responsibilities forever."

He said solemnly: "I will change my operation method... In fact, when I established the Justice League, I took the initiative to give the position of leader to Supergirl with a similar idea, but in the end I still solved the problem by myself, which is equivalent to undermining her in fact, which is indeed wrong."

Chen Tao continued to chat with Alfred in a seemingly normal way, and then asked abruptly: "Hey, Alfred, how did you think of calling me to remind me of these?"

This is a question that seems to be normal at first glance, but is full of doubts after careful consideration.

Chen Tao was already trying to lower Alfred's guard as much as possible. As a former spy, the butler was very resistant to this kind of rhetoric. Once the other party sensed some distrust in him during the questioning...

That would hurt the old butler's heart.

Chen Tao pretended not to look at the old butler, but his palms were almost sweating.

He was waiting for the other party's reply.

"First, Diana came to see you. It was about Cheetah. You were not there, and she asked why you were so busy."

Alfred said:

"Then the Flash Barry Allen came and said that he felt that the Reverse Flash Swan had done something big. He could feel it from a distance through the Speed ​​Force, but he didn't know what it was. He left when he heard that you were not there."

"Then there was Billy Batson... Shazam told me that his father came back to see him after many years... He said that was his happiest moment."

"And Master Dick... He came to sue the new Rogues for being too gentle and unable to deter the gangs in Gotham. He said something like 'Can the Rogues be called criminals?'"

"Oh, is that so?"

Chen Tao touched his chin.

"You told me that Shazam, Billy Batson's father, came back to find his son?"

...

...

...

In a corner of a city, in a dark alley.

"He is the key to controlling Billy Batson, Black Adam."

The voice of the meditation mite sounded through the voice of Dr. Sivana. They stood on the corner of the street, watching a down-and-out middle-aged man walking by smoking a cigarette.

"Once we have Billy's father, he will be at our disposal, including handing over his power."

Dr. Sivana turned to look at Black Adam: "And we need your help, which is why we tried so hard to help resurrect you."

Beside them, standing was Black Adam.

He should have been reduced to ashes, disappeared in the endless wailing, smeared by the torrent of time, and turned into the dust of history, but he was standing here at this time, with a terrible look on his face.

"Don't think I'll be grateful to you, Meditation Mite. You opened the connection between the seven magical continents. Do you really know what the consequences of doing so will be? And you, Sivana, you are aiding and abetting the evil, which is a very dangerous behavior. I have tolerated you for long enough, and I should have separated your head and body long ago..."

He said: "You told me that you would ensure the safety of our world, but I didn't see that at all."

He stretched out his hand to Dr. Sivana:

"Do you think I am an idiot who doesn't understand magic?"

But then, a lightning bolt pierced through Black Adam's body, causing him to let out a low scream.

"Thanks to the meditation mite, my power has increased incredibly." Dr. Shivana turned around calmly and looked at Black Adam, who had once made him extremely envious: "I have read every book in the Eternal Library, and I have mastered every spell."

It was just a short separation, but the person kneeling at this moment was Black Adam.

"You don't understand, once the meditation mite can reach other magical continents, what will he do to us."

Black Adam retracted his hand, his face became more gloomy. In this short fight, he has realized that the opponent is no longer the same as before, and he can't easily control Dr. Shivana as before.

"Oh, but he knows, my dear friend."

Wips of colorful smoke sprayed out from Dr. Shivana's seven orifices, and then condensed into the illusion of meditation mites in the air.

After realizing that Dr. Shivana could not convince Black Adam, the meditation mite personally took action.

"I have told him my plan. I will release my Monster Association from their shackles and bring the seven magical continents back under my control."

"No! What will happen to my continent?" Black Adam roared: "Your plan threatens the entire Kandak and his people!"

Black Adam rushed towards Dr. Shivana again, but he was soon hit by the rays from the other's eyes and hit the wall again.

"The premise is that you refuse to join us." Dr. Shivana said, his voice resonated with the meditation mite: "We want your help, Black Adam, there is no more far-sighted military mind on this planet than you, we admit it."

"Hey, what happened outside?"

A black civilian opened the door, and he was surprised to see three superhumans appear at his door.

"No--" Before Black Adam could stop it, he saw the meditation mite waved his hand, or tentacles.

Then, a wisp of withering appeared on the civilian's face, his black hair turned white, wrinkles appeared on his face, and then the whole person turned into a skeleton.

With a clang, the civilian who had turned into a skeleton collapsed on the ground and quickly lost his life.

The voice of the meditation mite rang out:

"Indeed, many people will die in a war that runs through the magic continent, and they will all be reduced to ashes and nothingness like this civilian."

Black Adam looked ugly, but he remained unmoved.

"But if you stand on our side, not only will Kandak survive, but I, the meditation mite, will also unlock the true power of the dark land."

"The kingdom of those undead liars?"

"The land of the dead. He will bring back your wife and children, or Iris and Osiris, if you prefer to call it that. We can help you get back everything you want!"

Black Adam was finally moved, but he didn't dare to believe it completely.

"I have tried many times myself, and no one can bring them back to life." He said, "Resurrecting the dead is absolutely impossible."

"I understand your distrust of me, great Black Adam. First, I must ask for your forgiveness for our last conversation. Secondly, show me my new ability."

The voice of the meditation mite sounded: "I offer you the seven deadly sins."

"They will satisfy all wishes anytime and anywhere."

Black Adam turned his head and saw seven wisps of colorful smoke appear in front of him: "It is indeed them... These monsters sealed by the Wizard Council - by the wizard Shazam himself... You summoned them and controlled them. How did you do it?"

"My power has become stronger, and yours can too." The meditation mite said.

"Did I tell you that we have other allies?"
