Chapter 2888
For example, this is equivalent to a company where a project worth hundreds of millions has a problem, and everyone is called up in the middle of the night.
So at this time, what should be done is to stop caring about where you are. Whatever ability you have to solve this problem, take it out, solve the problem first, and then go check who is responsible for the problem.
And this move by the Justice League is almost equivalent to: at the first moment of the problem, don't care if you are lying at home, on a business trip, or have an important meeting, or have any big projects in hand, just come back and have a meeting.
And the content of this meeting isn't how to solve the problem, but to check who caused the problem first.
Then, one of the company's veterans, a boss with a project worth hundreds of millions in his hands, says he has another important project and can't come back, and also says that as long as he waits a little, he will solve the problem. Then others use his not coming back for the meeting as an excuse to question whether he betrayed the company.
It can only be said that if others in this company can do such a thing, it's unlikely they could have a project worth hundreds of millions.
What's more, the Justice League doesn't quite look like a modern company, it's more like the United Arab Emirates, where every partner has their own power to manage, and leaving this league doesn't mean they can't do anything.
So this questioning posture is even more bizarre.
Schiller feels that it might be because Batman's temper is too good. It sounds very contrary to common sense, but Batman's temper is actually not bad. To be precise, he is emotionally stable, deals with things as they are, won't vent personal emotions to anyone, and as long as the big picture isn't lost, he is relatively tolerant.
Anyone who has truly entered the workplace knows how precious such a leader with a sense of proportion is, but it might also be that people are kind and bullied. If it were anyone else in any other scene, these people in the Justice League couldn't possibly talk to him with this attitude.
Batman frowned and pressed his forehead. He felt a bit of a headache, feeling that some things were sliding towards the edge of being out of control.
Schiller tapped the table, attracting his attention. Schiller asked: "How do you plan to reply? Or do you really plan to go?"
Batman was just about to open his mouth to speak, but Schiller grabbed the lead and said: "I can guarantee you that in just this short while, they have already prepared the means to arrest you. If you delay for another two minutes, they will decide to subdue you the moment you step into the Hall of Justice."
"They will tell you that if Batman really became a vampire, it would be too dangerous, and they are only doing this to protect the Earth, hoping you can understand."
"If you do nothing, they might propose to give you a check-up, put you into some instrument whose effect they can't even ensure, and tell you that as long as you have a clear conscience, the facts will definitely clear your name."
Batman's face didn't look good. It sounds exaggerated, but according to his understanding, the Justice League really might do this.
Because with their brains, they probably can't think that there might indeed be a mole in the Justice League, but it's not Batman. All plans targeting Batman are completed under the guidance of the mole.
Yes, Batman has now realized that the Justice League suddenly becoming like this, it's impossible without vampires messing around in it. While he was busy with Bat-family affairs, vampires might have already lurked into the Justice League.
This is actually much easier than lurking into the Bat-family, and the effect is much better. After all, the Robins are just ordinary people, but there are no weaklings in the Justice League.
"What do you plan to do now?" Schiller asked.
But Batman knew this wasn't actually a question, but that Schiller intended to give a suggestion. Batman put down the teacup in his hand, looked at him, and Schiller smiled and said.
"They treat you like this because you are a superhero, and a superhero who is responsible, has many concerns, and is usually quite good to them."
"But if you weren't, how do you think they would be?"
Batman's brow furrowed deeper, but he actually understood Schiller's meaning. He was silent, seemingly weighing, and after a long while, he began to reply to the previous questioning communication.
In the conference room of the Hall of Justice, the superheroes were all sitting in their chairs, but judging from the scattered items on the table, a dispute had broken out between them before.
With a ding, the computer in front of Cyborg rang, and others immediately gathered around. This time, Batman's reply was very brief.
"I cannot come over. Prepare for battle."
Green Lantern snorted and said: "What did I say? The vampires' first target must be Batman. The Batcave has likely already fallen, and Batman has already been turned."
Others felt a bit shocked, because although Batman basically didn't explain, many times he wouldn't make such a clear refusal, or rather, even if he refused, he wouldn't say it on the surface.
Cyborg sighed and said: "Perhaps the Batcave really had some problems, and Batman is fighting hard. He might indeed not be able to come over. This can't be blamed entirely on him."
"I don't think Batman can block the vampires' infiltration," Green Lantern said. "He might just want to confuse us..."
"No, wait," Wonder Woman stood out and said, "Is there a possibility that the sentence 'prepare for battle' wasn't said to us?"
"What?"
"Batman means he has already prepared for battle. If we intend to go over and eliminate him, then he is waiting for us."
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly went quiet.
When Superman spoke, he was even a bit stuttering. He said: "Impossible, right? Could Batman really have become a vampire?!"
This guess made everyone even more silent.
This is the same as Batman's theory of scolding people. A normal Batman doesn't scold people, but if you provoke him and really make him scold people, then with his knowledge reserve, how many people in the world can out-scold him?
What the main universe Batman fears most about Bruce is really his shrew-like scolding.
Now it's the same. Batman is very strong and shouldn't be turned into a vampire, but what if he is turned into a vampire, can use magic, can fly, and is infinitely powerful? May I ask who is his opponent?
This isn't just the superheroes questioning; I'm afraid other vampires will also be drumming in their hearts.
Theoretically, all vampires must obey the Vampire King's instructions, but theoretically, Batman also couldn't be Batman. Ordinary people couldn't reach Batman's level. Theory never works on Batman.
Then assuming Batman really became a vampire, can the Vampire King really control him? Will he really not set up his own shop and threaten the vampires led by the Vampire King?
"No matter what, I'll go check the security facilities again," Green Lantern said. "If he wants to come, we aren't afraid of him."
After he left, there was another long silence. Cyborg sneered and said: "Not afraid of him? Is there anyone here who is really not afraid of him?"
Even Superman didn't chime in.
Because this is actually a consensus in the Justice League—Batman needs the Justice League because Batman is just an ordinary person.
If he possessed the abilities of others in the Justice League, no matter whose, he wouldn't need to form an organization to maintain Earth's peace at all. He could do this alone.
And now he needs the Justice League, not because ordinary people have no power, but just because ordinary people need to eat, drink, and sleep, and the cost of maintaining basic life needs is too high, so he needs some supplements.
And, Batman's sense of responsibility is stronger than everyone present, believing that justice is never too much.
The formation of the Justice League is more because of Batman's kindness, not his weakness.
But what if Batman is no longer kind?
Jumping out of the perspective of the Justice League, one can know that most blacked-out Batmans in the multiverse, destroying a single universe is just a start.
Dark multiverse Batmans like The Drowned or Red Death all destroyed their own Earths, and then fought in other Earths in the original work. Among blacked-out Batmans, their performance is standard.
And like the Batman Who Laughs, that kind of shit belongs to the ceiling of blacked-out Batmans. Ruining one single universe isn't enough, and he is still shitting everywhere in the multiverse. Factors like physical fitness or superpowers don't affect him at all.
From this, it can be seen that the rule of "blackening makes you ten times stronger" is completely applicable to Batman.
So who can not be afraid?
"I think we should send a communication over and explain it well," Martian Manhunter said. "Our original intention wasn't to doubt Batman, but the existence of a mole is indeed a problem. Without him, we don't have a better way to find this traitor."
"I think I was a bit impulsive," Cyborg said a bit frustrated. "I just don't understand why he didn't come. We clearly need him very much, and I haven't heard of any big moves in Gotham."
"If he really has a big plan to deal with vampires, he won't let you know," Wonder Woman said. "He doesn't respond and doesn't come, which just shows he might have a way."
"I don't think he will abandon us," Superman said. "You send him another communication and ask carefully what's going on."
Cyborg nodded and began to think about the wording. This time he had to be more cautious and couldn't bring personal emotions into it again. This was inherently unreasonable.
Wonder Woman gave Superman a wink, and the two walked out of the door together. Wonder Woman looked left and right. Superman saw her action and simply snapped his fingers, then said: "Don't worry, no one can see the two of us, not even the monitors."
Then he said half-jokingly: "Do you want to rush up and bite me now?"
"Stop messing around, you are a human-shaped sun, who dares to bite you? I'm just saying, don't you feel that someone was abnormal just now?"
"I have always opposed looking for a mole now..."
"I mean, Cyborg isn't an impulsive person, and he has always respected Batman, even trusting him more than the two of us."
"That's for sure. He and Batman don't have any grudges, and he can always understand the technology of Batman's strange equipment. The two of them might indeed have more common topics. Do you mean Cyborg has a problem?"
"I mean, our emotions were just stirred up, weren't they? Think carefully, how did things develop to the point where we were all doubting Batman?"
Superman began to think. Although his super brain doesn't turn most of the time, his memory is at least very good. He can remember every word everyone said just now.
"It seems there is a bit of a problem. In the past, when situations much more serious than this occurred, Batman also lost contact with us, but we always trusted him, feeling that he always had a way. Why did we start doubting him first this time?"
"This is completely unreasonable, isn't it?" Wonder Woman said. "If Batman were really a vampire, how many of us could still sit here well? Just like Cyborg said, who isn't afraid of him?"
"I will think about it carefully," Superman said. "No matter who the mole is, as long as he wants to stir up the relationship between us, he will definitely show his feet."
"My real meaning is, everything that just happened proves that there is indeed a mole among us, not Batman who didn't come. Perhaps he might be, but not among us. Now, at this very moment, right here, a vampire might have already mixed into us!"
Listening to Wonder Woman's serious tone, Superman's heart sank involuntarily. He felt that Wonder Woman made sense.
"Don't be alone," Wonder Woman said. "He discovered that he couldn't affect Batman, so he will definitely need more helpers. Don't relax your vigilance."
Superman nodded, thinking of telling Martian Manhunter in a while, letting Martian Manhunter remind everyone, but at this time he suddenly remembered something and said: "Has Hal left for a while?"
"It seems so. He said he went to check the security system... Hurry up and find him!"
