Chapter 2905

~10 min read 1,955 words

The crowd of the Justice League was still narrating their experiences over these past few months in the conference room. Aquaman had already finished speaking, because he really had nothing to talk about. He spent most of his time in the sea over these past few months and didn't know much about vampires.

Under Batman's guidance, the crowd discussed whether vampires could convert the sea race into their own kind. Most people felt it should be possible, because in fact, Atlantis was also ancient humans, but later sank, so theoretically speaking, they could also be embraced by vampires.

But there was still a large part of Atlantis that was descendants of the gods. The power remaining in their bodies might not be able to fuse with the power of vampires. Wonder Woman also felt so. The gods of Mount Olympus might not be affected by vampires. Breaking their skin was already very difficult, and power fusion was even more difficult.

Next was Green Lantern. Green Lantern said even less than Aquaman. He said he had been executing missions in space recently and didn't know much about the vampire situation, nor did he encounter any special incidents.

Most people still recognized this reason relatively well, because in their impression, Green Lantern often went to space to execute missions. Although there was dissatisfaction that the Green Lantern Corps didn't care about the vampire disaster on Earth, they also knew that this wasn't something Hal could decide, so this part of Green Lantern passed.

Martian Manhunter was actually in a similar situation to Superman. He was also a Justice League member who participated in the vampire disaster outbreak throughout. Just because he wasn't as strong as Superman, he mostly stayed at headquarters to provide information to Superman.

The incidents he encountered basically overlapped with Superman's. In the process of narrating, he was supplementing Superman's incidents. But because Superman had indeed executed too many missions over these past few months, Martian Manhunter read the mission records for two or three hours.

At noon, everyone continued to eat and communicate the situation in a low voice. But the atmosphere wasn't as relaxed as before. Everyone expressed that they hadn't found a suspicious object from the people who spoke, and also doubted whether Batman could really find them. They had already been delayed here for a day and a night.

After that, members like Cyborg started to narrate. Their time was relatively average, basically around an hour, but the number of people wasn't small. By the time they finished speaking, it was deep in the night again.

"Let's keep watch tonight." Jana proposed, "The time we kept watch last night was too short. Maybe we can be longer tonight."

She gently nudged Zan with her elbow. Zan nodded. Wonder Woman smiled and said, "You two just want to go eat snacks. Leave me a bag of original potato chips. I need something to refresh myself."

"Rest assured." Jana made a gesture to her.

The two walked to the corner of the room again. Jana gave Zan a wink, but Zan shook his head at her. Jana frowned and gave him a questioning look. Zan shook his head again.

But Schiller was actually already very hungry. To be precise, no matter whose soul was controlling this body, that kind of hunger from the blood was lingering, making people want to swallow everything around them crazily.

But unfortunately, Schiller, who belonged to the morbid state, was very used to this feeling. After all, there was one among them called Gluttony.

Morbid states actually weren't so clearly divided. They all possessed some of each other's attributes. For example, most Schillers were very good at fighting, which came from the violent trait. Many traits also showed a very obvious manipulative tendency, which naturally came from manipulation.

Similarly, most morbid states were feeling hungry, so the manipulator was busy manipulating, and the violent one was eager to release violence.

Morbid states also had the same attribute, that is, the worse the state, the better the state.

Moon Schiller didn't care about that kind of hunger like countless ants gnawing, and even felt it wasn't enough, because he knew that another person in this room had the same feeling.

The other party might be able to persist by relying on strong willpower, but this kind of hunger obviously had no additive effect on him, while Moon Schiller was different. When the hunger reached its peak, he would be unprecedentedly powerful.

In other words, I am waiting for blood rage, what are you waiting for?

Schiller grabbed a bag of potato chips again. This time the sound of eating was slightly lighter, and the frequency wasn't so fast, seemingly just because of boredom.

But soon, an unexpected figure appeared. Green Lantern sat over, picked up another bag of potato chips, opened it, and threw it into his mouth.

Schiller glanced at him, moved aside, gave him some space, and handed him a bottle of cola. The other party's rhythm of eating potato chips was relatively fast, and a bag of potato chips was gone in two or three bites.

Schiller took over a few sandwiches from the side and said in Zan's tone: "I see you didn't eat much during the day. Are you starving?"

"I just feel a bit worried. Batman trapped us here, and I don't know how many more people will die outside."

"Yeah, that traitor is really too detestable." Jana waved her fist and said: "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to be locked here. Speaking of which, who do you think is more suspicious?"

"I don't know." Green Lantern said while eating: "I feel Batman might already know, he just doesn't say."

"Hey, brother, is there a fruit can over there?" Jana raised her tone slightly: "Give it to me."

Schiller picked up the can on the side, and then saw Jana winking at him. He immediately understood Jana's intention, glanced at the can, and threw it to Jana.

This can was the kind without a pull ring.

Cans in Europe and America are a bit strange. They pursue sealing more than convenience. It seems that having a pull ring will affect the sealing, so many cans here will be made into iron cans that are seamless. Many families also keep can openers.

A can opener is actually cutting along one side of the can, and then rolling up the iron sheet on top.

And sure enough, Batman even prepared a can opener. But Jana seemed not to have used this thing much before. After all, she was just a little girl, an alien, not a housewife, and didn't deal with canned food much.

She inserted the blade into the can with some effort, fiddled with it, and finally cut the can open. But when turning, it seemed because the can opener wasn't fixed well, the whole can opener popped out with a bang, and the iron sheet that was rolled halfway bounced back, cutting a cut on Jana's hand.

She let out a sky-shaking scream, startling everyone awake. Superman, who was dazed with sleep, instantly turned into a big light bulb, his eyes glowing red and asking: "What's wrong? Who was attacked?"

Jana said with a bitter face: "No one attacked me. I cut my hand opening a can. Do you have bandages?"

Others gathered around and were a bit speechless looking at the wound. Wonder Woman rubbed her forehead and said: "This is a fruit can for cooking, not a snack can. Why do you have to open it?"

"I don't know." Jana said very aggrievedly: "You know I love sweets, but there are no cakes or anything, so I thought about making do with this. That can opener is also too hard to use..."

Batman was also a bit speechless, but when he walked to Jana's side and picked up the can opener stained with blood, he knew Jana did it on purpose.

A can opener actually has no danger. The so-called blade isn't sharp, and there is a certain distance from being able to cut human skin. What is relatively dangerous is the iron sheet of the cut can.

But generally speaking, as long as the hand isn't deliberately put on it, it won't be cut. Jana should have deliberately cut a cut on her hand in the dim light.

She should have felt that the vampire hidden among them was about to be unable to hold back, deliberately creating a wound that could bleed to lure the other party into madness.

What a smart girl, Batman thought. If this kind of thing were done by anyone among them, it would appear very stupid and deliberate. But because Jana was very young and an alien, and her personality was usually very jumpy, everyone wouldn't have any suspicion about this matter, only feeling a bit helpless.

Fortunately, Batman also prepared a first-aid kit. The wound on Jana's hand didn't reach the point of needing stitches. Wonder Woman used magic to help her stop the bleeding and cleaned the wound. Just as she was about to bandage it, Zan said anxiously: "This is healing too slowly. Can't you use healing magic to help her?"

Wonder Woman shook her head and said: "I am a demigod, not a mage. I don't know healing magic. This thing is generally only known by priests who practice holy magic."

Zan's gaze searched in the crowd, and then he walked over and pulled Green Lantern over as if seeing a savior, saying: "Green Lantern energy can heal wounds, right? Hal, please help Jana, otherwise her hand might not be able to be used recently."

This wound on Jana's hand was injured very cleverly. When the palm was clenched, the curled part was cut with a line. This meant that she basically couldn't clench her hand now, and this hand basically couldn't do anything, belonging to the kind of injury that wasn't serious but affected action.

Jana pushed Zan and then said: "No need to waste energy. I feel I can also..."

She clenched her hand lightly, and the wound that had stopped bleeding started to gush blood again. She gasped and said frustratedly: "It seems there's really no way. You said if I turn into an animal and change back, will it be better?"

Schiller remembered that the Wonder Twins had superpowers, but didn't know exactly what they were. Now it seemed that the younger sister seemed to be able to turn into an animal, then what about the older brother? Now is not the time to think about this problem.

Wonder Woman hurriedly stopped Jana and told her not to move, gently wiping the blood for her. Superman frowned looking at the constantly bleeding wound and said to Hal: "Help her, Hal. It shouldn't cost much energy, right? Hal... Hal? Are you too sleepy?"

Hal, who woke up as if from a dream, nodded, yawned, and said: "I didn't sleep well last night. I was originally going to sleep, but was woken up by hunger again, climbed up to eat, and now I'm dizzy."

After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and green light enveloped Jana's palm. The wound healed quickly. Jana immediately said to him with full gratitude: "Thank you so much, Hal! You are the best!"

She gave Hal a big hug. Hal seemed not to have reacted and didn't dodge. When Jana came into contact with him, the Green Lantern energy didn't have time to separate them.

After letting go, Jana's expression became a bit terrified. She hid behind Superman with a swoosh and pointed at Hal, saying.

"He... he he he he... he has no body temperature!!!"

Everyone was stunned.
