Chapter 3456
Oliver returned a bit earlier than expected. He said tomorrow morning, but actually arrived at dawn. And a few hours before he arrived at Metropolis Airport, the Justice League had just finished work and went home to sleep.
Batman expressed shock at this. He really couldn't imagine that the Justice League of a universe would finish work at 11 PM.
But what shocked him even more was that Wonder Woman of this universe told him that this was already considered overtime. Normally, they wouldn't finish work later than 6:30 PM.
Even Lex, who was negotiating with the Injustice Batman, started packing things up when it was past 10 o'clock.
This action made the Injustice Batman a bit confused, and to some extent, it could be said to have disrupted his negotiation rhythm, because he couldn't predict what Lex was going to do next.
It wasn't until the process reached turning off the lights and locking the doors that the Injustice Batman realized that Lex's series of actions just now seemed to be preparing to finish work.
And then all of them really walked out of the building like employees working at the Luthor Group, greeting each other while walking to the parking lot to drive home.
Batman, who had been watching TV with them before—let's just call him Batman—left the building with the crowd with a blank face, not knowing where he was going.
And the Injustice Batman in the safe house was also left alone here, not knowing what to do.
However, the two of them reached a common conclusion, which was that Lex Luthor seemed to have great confidence in the security of the Luthor Building and was not worried at all that they would search here under the cover of night.
But how could Batman not do that?
After all the employees left and the building lights were turned off, the two Batmen approached the Luthor Building from two directions at the same time.
They originally wanted to observe the infiltration route, but suddenly discovered that after the daytime employees finished work, another batch of employees came to work.
Still greeting each other in twos and threes, walking out of the parking lot, entering the building, turning on the lights and opening the doors, entering their respective offices, and starting to prepare for work.
How come this Luthor Group works in two shifts? It's not a factory rushing for progress. One batch of employees during the day, one batch at night, where do they get so much work to do?
It wasn't until the Injustice Batman approached the parking lot and heard them talking that he discovered they weren't speaking English.
Things started to become even more terrifying.
Of course, this doesn't mean they were speaking an alien language, but the terror lies in this: they were actually speaking Russian.
The Injustice Batman even stayed for a while longer, confirming that he hadn't heard wrong, but after listening, they were really speaking Russian.
The Injustice Batman started to have less confidence in his infiltration operation. Being caught by Lex gave him a chance to negotiate; being caught by this group of people, he was afraid that he would see Stalin the moment he opened his eyes.
And Batman in the other direction started contacting Superman. He really wanted to know, what exactly did Superman go to do? Does saving Bruce need to take so long?
A few hours ago, three figures swept across the skyline of Metropolis. The one in the front was as agile as a falcon, and the two behind looked somewhat similar, but were clearly not getting along.
The three seemed to want to force the other party to stop, circling around in the sky, doing all kinds of fancy maneuvering actions.
This was certainly not enough to chase for several hours. The key was that as Bruce was flying, a light appeared in front of him. He flew into the light, and his figure disappeared instantly.
It wasn't that the two Supermen behind didn't think about stopping, but the speed was too fast, they didn't have time to brake, and they also rushed into the light.
When they woke up again, they found themselves lying in a pool, and some music appeared vaguely in their ears, as if some figures were walking around.
When the Injustice Superman sat up from the pool, he saw a birdman with wings walk past him.
He thought he was hallucinating, so he shook his head, but this made him see even more clearly—there wasn't just one birdman in front of him, but anyone standing and walking had a pair of wings on their back.
Because the process of going to heaven was too sloppy, the Injustice Superman didn't dare to think about himself going to heaven for a while.
But facts are facts. When he rushed out of the sanctuary, he discovered that this seemed to be heaven as described in the Bible. What made him feel most strange was that no angel expressed doubt about his arrival.
Come on, he is no longer a normal Superman. How many people he killed in the process of ruling the world, he couldn't even count. And he could still go to heaven like this?
Wait, if he could go to heaven, then Lois...
Thinking of this, the Injustice Superman hurried to fly out. However, although he had seen the description of heaven in the Bible, this place was still too strange for him. He didn't know where to go to find the souls who went to heaven.
No way, he could only intercept an angel and ask: "Do you know where Lois is?"
"Louis? Should be the street over there?" The angel was a bit confused and pointed him in a direction.
After the Injustice Superman flew towards that side, he discovered that there were many angels there. He had to shout at them: "Lois! Lois!"
One of the strange angels turned his head with some confusion. After seeing the Injustice Superman, he was stunned for a moment, and then actually appeared somewhat flustered, fiercely flipping through the parchment in his hand.
"That's not right, why is Superman here? And came to find me, this universe isn't my responsibility, is it?!"
His companion next to him patted him with his wings and said: "Must be that Bruce who brought him up, don't make a fuss. Uriel the boss will go find trouble with him in a while."
"BRUCE!!!!!!"
A roar came from the horizon. The Injustice Superman instinctively turned his head and saw a figure with several pairs of wings chasing another figure with several pairs of wings and hitting him.
The one chasing was holding a long spear, and the one running was holding his head and scurrying. Because it was too far away, the Injustice Superman didn't see clearly who these two people were.
Suddenly, another white light fell on the Injustice Superman. When he regained consciousness, he found that he had returned to the sky above Metropolis, and the other Superman also appeared beside him with a blank face.
The Injustice Superman retreated a distance vigilantly, wanting to leave but seemingly remembering something, and said somewhat hesitantly: "You just... did you see anything?"
"I don't know. When I woke up, I found myself appearing in a pool, with a bunch of people with wings next to me. Is this some kind of illusion magic?"
The Injustice Superman immediately realized that this was not a hallucination. They had really gone to a place that looked like heaven just now.
"Great, there is a heaven in this world!" The Injustice Superman clenched his fists tightly, "Still in time. Still in time. Everything is still in time!"
Seemingly unable to suppress his excitement anymore, the Injustice Superman rushed out fiercely. When the huge sound of the sonic boom rang over Metropolis, the Superman who was left behind had just reacted.
"Oh, why is the sky dark?!" He looked around with some surprise and discovered from an electronic billboard on a high-rise building that it was already past 11 PM. He hurried to fly towards the Luthor Building and found Batman's figure after circling around.
He landed behind Batman. Batman looked back at him, and the moment he saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Why did you just come back?"
"Sorry, I don't know what happened either. Maybe I got lost," Superman shook his head and said, "Why are you staying here?"
"Nothing," Batman looked at the Luthor Group with some confusion, and then he grabbed Superman's arm and said, "The situation in Metropolis in this universe is a bit complicated. They are also not easy to get along with. I think we should go back to Cat Getan first."
"Are you trying to go back to the Batcave to get equipment?"
"Not necessarily," Batman shook his head and said, "I might not be able to open the Batcave of this universe. But I am more familiar with the situation there, which is better than being here."
Superman thought about his encounter just now and felt that what Batman said was indeed reasonable. This city he was originally familiar with and the Justice League he was familiar with had become somewhat unfamiliar. He really couldn't grasp any information advantage, so it was better to follow Batman to Cat Getan.
"I'll go find a car," Batman said, "We'll set off now, we should be able to reach Cat Getan before dawn."
After they left, the Injustice Batman was still staying in place. He had given up looking for his Superman—following the already crazy Injustice Superman was not as good as acting alone. But the Injustice Superman took the initiative to find him.
Aisha carried her ice skates and walked out of the room, coming to the porch with light. Batman finally saw her appearance clearly.
As soon as he heard this address, the Injustice Batman knew that the Injustice Superman should be sick again.
"Bruce, you don't know what I just saw. I just went to heaven, and it was full of angels. I asked them if they had seen Lois, and they pointed me in a direction. Lois must be there..."
Before, the Injustice Batman felt that he had seen all kinds of crazy forms of the Injustice Superman, but at this moment, he felt that he was still a bit short-sighted. What kind of crazy thing was this again?
The Injustice Superman didn't care about that at all. He pulled the Injustice Batman and started chattering, seemingly stimulated by something, and now only acting on instinct.
And in his instinctive subconscious, the only one who could help him solve these problems was Batman, so he kept pulling the Injustice Batman and talking.
The Injustice Batman originally intended to appease him perfunctorily like before, and then find a chance to leave. Until a sentence from the Injustice Superman made him unable to hold on either.
"If heaven exists, then hell must exist; if Lois can be resurrected, then the Joker can too. That way it won't count as me killing people..."
The Injustice Batman was choked by the breath he sucked in. He coughed violently a few times and went to look at the Injustice Superman's face, but didn't see any cold or mocking emotions there.
The Injustice Superman's eyes were blank. Those eyes, which were so light they were almost colorless, looked more like white paper, and even the black dot in the center was not as deep and heavy as the boundless night behind him. The look was light, as if his soul had already flown away.
The Injustice Batman's fingers tightened slightly. His other hand rested on the wall, wanting to open his mouth to scold the Injustice Superman, but the extremely imperceptible trace of grievance in the rising tone at the end of that sentence made the Injustice Batman stand there for a long time, unable to say half a sentence.
And when Batman turned around and wanted to leave, a strong flashlight beam shone over. He heard someone shouting in Russian.
"Who? Who's there?! Put your hands up!!"
