Chapter 255: Aquaman and Tuna (5800 Words Long Chapter, I Wrote so Much, I Am Awesome!)

Antarctica.

In a secret base that no one knows about.

"Hahaha, Black Manta, are you kidding me?"

"... You seem to be fantasizing that after joining N.E.M.O., you will have a say in the action?"

Black Manta sat on his seat with his fingers crossed.

At this time, all his weapons had been stolen, including his famous diving suit armor and the helmet that could fire destructive lasers like a fly head.

Almost all the soldiers around him were armed with guns from the N.E.M.O. There was a mocking look on Black Manta's scarred face.

Cowardly rats...

"Why can't I?" He asked back.

The fisherman was a burly old man with white hair and beard. He wore cowhide boots and a wide sailing jacket.

"Black Jack told me you were reckless, sir. N.E.M.O's schedule has been arranged for decades, and we have carefully designed it to achieve global control."

The fisherman said, "Unless they are very talented newcomers, we will not allow them to adopt new ideas or disrupt our carefully designed plans."

He looked at Black Manta: "It is obvious that you have nothing but revenge in your mind. You can't be a decision maker, but only a tool for our plan."

"I have never served anyone."

The fisherman heard what Black Manta said, he laughed dumbly, and then waved his hand nonchalantly: "Get used to it slowly, you will like it here, otherwise... Okay, let's stop here."

He waved his hand to signal his men to send Black Manta away, but he didn't notice the increasingly cold look in his eyes. His stupidest thing was to let Black Manta appear in front of him. This was definitely a huge mistake.

Black Manta stood up, and the next second, in a burst of golden light, he suddenly disappeared from his seat.

This is not a description or metaphor. He really stood up and fell backwards in a golden vortex, disappearing from his seat.

"What...what? Where did he go? Why did he suddenly disappear...?"

The fisherman suddenly stood up from his seat. He looked at the place where Black Manta had just sat in surprise, and turned to look at the woman who brought Black Manta into the base.

"Black Jack, what is going on?"

Black Jack seemed even more surprised and panicked than the fisherman: "I...I don't know, Black Manta never told me--"

"Ah!" Before Black Jack finished speaking, the fisherman suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and screamed.

"Ah!"

He lowered his head and saw a knife tip coming out of his chest with his eyes that were almost bulging out, and the bright red blood soaked his shirt bit by bit.

"You...you..." He turned his head with difficulty, but only saw Black Manta's helmet, which was like a fly's eye, flashing scarlet light.

How could it be possible? When did he retrieve his equipment? He... He just flashed and disappeared in the golden vortex. Was that teleportation?

He teleported to a certain place, took his equipment, and then came back...?

Sizzle!

The blade was pulled out, and blood sprayed on Black Manta's helmet.

Everyone was stunned by this unexpected result.

Black Manta's fly-like helmet might have been very funny and funny when others saw it for the first time.

However, at this moment, when the helmet was stained with the blood of their former leader "Fisherman", it was indescribably hideous and terrifying!

Black Jack was the first to react. She originally thought that she had been in an evil organization like N.E.M.O for so many years that she had long forgotten what fear was. But when she looked into Black Manta's deep red eyes, she still trembled uncontrollably.

"You...what did you do? Oh my God, what did you do?"

"The king is dead, Black Jack." Black Manta's voice came from his fly helmet, hoarse, dark, and with an inhuman sense of horror.

He sat directly in the seat where the fisherman had just sat, and then crossed his legs.

"So long live the new king."

Under the helmet, Black Manta pursed his lips: "Any questions?"

...

...

...

Before entering the tavern, Chen Tao disguised himself. He covered his face with a pair of sunglasses and a mask, and wore a hat on his head. Supergirl and Superboy had biological positions as a means of covering their appearance, so there was no need to do anything extra.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Tao said.

They walked in, and there was a lot of noise inside. At this moment, a...

Uh, Chen Tao didn't quite understand, a performance?

A handsome young man. He stood on the stage, holding a trident of Aquaman that looked like a prop, but was obviously made of metal.

Chen Tao's eyes lingered on the halberd for a moment. As we all know, the Neptune Trident has five forks, which is reasonable.

He was surprised that the props of a stage play performed in a tavern were so restored.

Standing next to him were two actors dressed as Superman and Batman respectively. The props of these two actors were pulled, and they were completely different from the clothes of the Neptune actor next to them. They were made of ordinary cloth, unlike the golden scales of the Neptune actor, which had a metallic texture.

When they came in, the joke of the Neptune actor happened to end.

"I don't want to play with you. No matter what you say, I just want to sleep with this tuna."

"Hahahaha, Neptune actually sleeps with fish." The Batman actor laughed wildly, and then suddenly looked like he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Wait. When he said sleeping, he just meant sleeping with fish, right?"

"Who knows?" said the actor of Superman, "Let me use x-ray to see."

Then the actor of Aquaman actually took a half-dead tuna, walked to the side and began to twist his hips seductively: "Oh! Honey, although you are great, I will still marry an octopus. You know, the octopus will always be the official girlfriend of Aquaman! Oh! Honey, 'taste' my masculinity!"

(Note: There is a joke here. In another popular super-British and American drama In "The Boys", there is a spoof version of Aquaman, whose superpower is to talk to fish and even chat with lobsters. His friend is an octopus, and later Homelander forces him to eat his friend alive. )

Then he pretends to have the shrill and thin voice of a tuna: "Oh, it doesn't matter, as long as you are in my heart and mind, I will always belong to you!"

While speaking, the Aquaman actor shows the audience the intentionally cut open body (heart) of the tuna and the mouth (brain) that was deliberately poked wide with a stick.

The performance seemed quite successful, and the tavern was full of laughter. Thanks to the government's carpet search and the increasingly frequent sea rescue operations of Aquaman in recent years and months, the popularity of Aquaman in this small borderland of Maine is higher than the inland people can imagine.

Everyone is talking about such a superhero who swims around in the sea and has the superpower of talking to fish. The emergence of such a show can be said to be born out of necessity.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... this joke is too vulgar." Chen Tao looked at the actor dressed as Aquaman.

He had strong muscles and natural hair dyed golden yellow.

Although he wore golden contact lenses, he looked like he really had a pair of golden pupils.

His face was as handsome as a Greek demigod, and even if he was deliberately making a fool of himself, it did not affect his heroic appearance.

With such appearance conditions, it was a waste of talent to make a living as a comedian in a tavern in a remote area.

Soon, the comedy skit ended, and the three actors packed up and left the stage. A waiter came up to clean up the liquid dripped from the tuna on the stage, and then a white man with a red neck and a red scarf holding an accordion took over the stage from the performing trio and started playing the accordion.

The previous three actors left the stage, walked to a table not far away and sat down, and also took a few drinks.

Chen Tao moved his eyes away from the stage performance.

"Connor." Chen Tao suddenly called Superboy Connor's name.

"Well, what's the matter?"

He asked.

"Use your x-ray vision and microscopic vision to scan the man, and then tell me what you found." Chen Tao pointed at the long-haired man.

"What? You can't treat me as a tool in your multi-functional belt." Superboy Connor protested.

"Why not? That's what I did to Superman. Scan quickly, do you think I haven't scanned myself? After the scan, tell me what you analyzed."

Connor realized that this seemed to be a quiz. So he did it, and then answered:

"The perspective eye can't see through his body. Either he wears something to block prying, or he can prevent others from prying into his physical fitness."

"That's all?"

Superboy was stunned, and then scanned back and forth with the perspective eye twice: "Is it true?"

Chen Tao sighed.

"Even if your vision surpasses 99.9% of the people on this planet, you are still hopelessly blind."

?

Connor was furious when he heard this.

Chen Tao turned to look at Supergirl: "Did you find out from the scan?"

"Yes, I saw it, it's very obvious..." Chen Tao stopped Kara from saying the next thing and nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately not everyone is as stupid as Connor."

Connor:?

Chen Tao sighed again. This couldn't be blamed on Superboy Connor. Although he looked like a teenager now, a few months ago, he was even an immature embryo, strictly speaking, a baby less than one year old.

Super brains can make Kryptonians full of wisdom and good at learning, but wisdom does not mean knowledge and experience, and the complexity of this world is far from being fully understood by just reading books.

"Why don't you tell our target about our purpose?"

Chen Tao said.

"Eh. Me?"

Superboy Connor's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself in surprise.

"Are you sure!?"

"Yes," he heard Batman's voice: "Go test him."

"Okay." In this case, Connor's super brain turned quickly.

The blond bearded man sat there expressionlessly when several actors of Aquaman Batman performed spoof jokes on the stage just now, and his face showed no joy or anger. He is the security guard of the tavern, the suspected target person mentioned by Amanda Waller in the van before.

Connor walked in front of the other party: "We need your help."

Chen Tao nodded secretly. Superboy Connor has inherited Superman's super brain after all. Although he is a little weak in experience, he is definitely not stupid.

He came up and directly stated that he was here to seek help, instead of talking nonsense and making some riddles there, which would arouse the other party's vigilance or cause more misunderstandings that would raise people's blood pressure.

At the table next to him, the actor who played Aquaman before immediately pricked up his ears. He took the opportunity to pour wine and changed his seat, sitting behind the man with long golden hair and beard.

"Your name is Arthur Morgan, right? Can I call you that, Mr. Morgan?"

Connor felt a little guilty, because he found that the man in front of him just stared at him with a pair of golden pupils, without saying a word.

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

"Burp--"

The actor who played Aquaman on the stage before suddenly rudely burped loudly in the back, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.

Arthur Morgan, a man with long blond hair and a beard, glanced at the hiccuping actor, then turned his gaze back to Connor's face, with a ferocious expression on his face: "What do you want from me? If you have something to say, please speak up."

Connor subconsciously wanted to look back at Batman, but finally stopped himself. Chen Tao nodded approvingly from behind.

This is called training, not letting the other party grow wildly like Luthor.

Connor thought for half a second, and finally decided to be a little more tactful and try it out first.

"There is a stranger who came to this village from the sea."

Connor's behavior has attracted the attention of several tables of drinkers around him. Their chatter gradually became lighter. Connor was a little nervous when he was suddenly noticed by so many people, but he still spoke with a stiff upper lip.

"That stranger is with sharks and dolphins, riding the tide, commanding all creatures on the ocean. He saves distressed ships and brings fish to fishermen, he-"

"That's just a rumor."

But before Connor finished speaking, he was interrupted by the blond-haired burly man.

"There has never been such a person. Please go back."

"The enemy from afar is about to attack." The other party's attitude confirmed Connor's judgment, and he said:

"We need warriors. We need this stranger. There are already many other people like him who have formed an alliance to defend the earth. We must meet this person."

The man with blond beard and named Arthur looked at him steadily.

Then he suddenly started laughing, and then the people at the surrounding tables also started laughing.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha--"

The violent laughter burst into a ball, and the whole tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Connor was confused by their reaction.

"You...you guys...what do you mean, this is..."

The blond bearded man named Arthur laughed breathlessly: "Hahahahahahahaha...I'm dying of laughter, that's the expression! I bet you mistook me for the rumored Aquaman or something, and even came all the way here for this."

He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, pointing at Connor's confused face: "Yes, that's the expression, hahahaha...but the fact is, everything is fake, it's just a means for our tavern to attract business."

He pulled the actor who played Aquaman behind him over, and amid the other party's complaints of "Hey, don't touch my hair", he madly Rub the other person's forehead:

"Do you still think that I might be fake, and this guy is actually the real Aquaman, and he is standing behind the scenes to secretly control me?"

The blond bearded man named Arthur Morgan was overjoyed:

"Wrong, it's fake!"

"That's what you think. This is all deliberately set up to attract business. It's just to play tricks on you outsiders, hahahahaha!"

He laughed so hard that he pounded the table, and then hooked the neck of the actor next to him who was performing Aquaman on the stage just now: "Hahaha, Tom! He believed it, he believed it! This is the first time we have successfully deceived someone since we planned this plan. It's so interesting!"

The Aquaman actor named Tom also flattered him at the right time:

"Le, well done! Arthur is so good!"

Arthur, the blond bearded man, laughed: "You idiots, you always fantasize about superheroes hiding in the crowd, and you can find them by chance. I am so happy!"

He pointed to the table of drinks on Chen Tao's table: "But our purpose from beginning to end is just to let you buy this table of drinks, hahahaha, you have already paid for our pub in order to find the legendary Aquaman, and now you can't refund it!"

He turned to the bar owner and said: "Hey, boss, our brothers' plan is good, but it successfully brought you a big business!"

The bar owner who was wiping the cup also laughed too hard to speak, and could only wave his hands.

"What...what?" Connor was shocked by this "fact" and his face turned liver-colored. He turned his head and looked at Batman like a bereaved man.

"This... this is impossible. The intelligence system can't have such a big mistake." Amanda Waller's voice came from the headset. She was also surprised, but soon calmed down.

"Our guys can't make such a big mistake." She said: "Even if Aquaman is not between these two people, he may be hiding in a corner of the tavern, or even maybe he is not present today."

Amanda Waller said firmly:

"But no matter what, Aquaman should be near this tavern... or this area. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain his source of intelligence. We finally tracked it here, this is certain, it can't be false. And this is also completely consistent with the calculation results in probability."

"No, you were fooled by a juggler in a tavern!" Connor's mentality was a little broken. When he thought of what he had just said to the other party in a serious manner, "enemies in the distance", he felt his face burning.

In the violent laughter, he forced himself to walk back to Chen Tao's table. Chen Tao almost saw smoke coming out of his seven orifices.

"Let's go quickly. I don't want to stay here for a second." He said to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao sighed.

Then he turned his head and looked at the super girl Kara who had been sitting there quietly as a quiet lady from just now until now.

"Let me test you. Do you know what to do at this time?"

Chen Tao said: "Please, think about it before you tell me the answer. Don't let me down."

"I know." The super girl thought for half a second, and then answered softly.

"What are you talking about? Why don't we go quickly--"

Before Connor finished speaking, he saw Kara take off her coat, revealing the S on her chest and the cape behind her.

Connor: ? ? ?

Kara flew straight up and flew in front of the people in the tavern who were a little bit unable to laugh. Then her eyes flashed red, and directly burned the table in front of them into charcoal.

"I'll tell you something. I have something to tell you." Kara seemed a little shy when she was suddenly stared at by so many people.

The little girl flew in the air timidly and said:

"If Aquaman doesn't come out, I will burn this bar and kill all of you."

She turned her head and melted the double-barreled shotgun that the boss took out from under the bar into molten iron, scaring the boss to raise his hands.

"I really want to kill all of you, no kidding. Sorry!"

Batman showed an approving look and said, "Well done, but the aggressiveness is not strong enough, watch me."

Then he synchronized with the speed bullet and floated up, staring straight at the man who just performed Aquaman Day Tuna on the stage and called himself Tom.

The corners of his mouth gradually rose.

"Come on!" said Supergirl.

"?" Superboy Connor turned his head to look at her. He was a little numb now: "What's coming?"

Then the next second Connor heard Batman's creepy laughter: "Hehehe, hehe, hahahahahahaha!!!"

He flew directly to the ear of Aquaman Arthur and laughed wildly in a low voice that only he could hear:

"Arthur! I know your father is buried in Ci'en Port. If you still don't admit it, I will fly to Ci'en Port now, blow up your father's grave, and flush all the ashes into the sea!"

Chen Tao's eyes lingered on the other party's golden scale armor, which was obviously made of metal, and the Aquaman trident, which was placed next to him even when drinking.

Although the trident was called a trident... it did have five points, just like in the comics.
