Chapter 3513: The Study of Cats and Dogs (72)

~11 min read 2,146 words

After determining the next step of the plan, everyone began to work step by step. The most important thing is to explore the current situation of Mars, but this task cannot be completed by J'onn.

Although theoretically, the Martian city should have no one left, it's hard to say whether the virus still has any residue. The Ma'alefa'ak virus is fatal to Martians; J'onn had better not go back if he can avoid it.

This arduous task naturally fell on Hal, who can move freely outside the Earth. Although Hal also has the heart to build a Green Lantern Corps base there, the situation is not certain after all, so he didn't say much.

Immediately after, he had to find a way to lure Zod to Mars; this naturally had to use his spaceship.

This is the truly dangerous part of this plan. Once Zod is allowed to get his spaceship back, not only will he run away, but he might also use the spaceship to counterattack.

Although humans have no way to start the spaceship, they can also see the power of the weapons mounted on it. If he is really forced, indiscriminate strafing of the surface would be terrible.

Regarding how to safely use the spaceship to lure Zod to Mars, and ensure that Zod will never snatch the spaceship and run away, everyone had a fierce discussion.

Of course, this kind of discussion was conducted with the help of J'onn, because everyone had their own things to do. Even J'onn had to go back to send Betty to school and couldn't stay in Metropolis all the time, so they all used J'onn's mind link to transmit messages remotely.

It was fine at first; the members of the Justice League were all discussing serious matters.

"I say, is it possible to forge a spaceship, just looking very similar in appearance, letting Zod think the spaceship has been moved away?" Clark sent a group message.

"I'm afraid it's difficult," Lex replied to Clark. "The coating on the surface of the spaceship is very special, Zod will be more familiar with its light reflectivity than us. Even if you fake an appearance, it's easy to reveal the truth; Zod shouldn't be that stupid."

"If we use the spaceship signal?" Bruce proposed his own assumption. "He said this spaceship will send signals to his personal terminal. If we simulate this signal on Mars, can we lure him there to check?"

"That's a train of thought," Oliver said. "It's best not to move the spaceship."

"But Zod is not stupid either; he didn't see how the spaceship was moved out, so he shouldn't believe it easily," Lex refuted again.

"He knows we have teleportation portals," Zatanna suddenly spoke. She was performing magic on the streets of Metropolis and didn't forget to participate in the discussion. "We can create an illusion that we used a teleportation portal to transport the spaceship to Mars. Even if we don't move the spaceship out, we should be able to fool him."

"How to create this illusion?" Clark asked.

"Gather a few magicians?" Zatanna tentatively said. "But I feel that bumpkin might not be able to tell. Otherwise, just call a few Green Lanterns; he should know Green Lanterns, right?"

"It won't work," Hal said. "The surface of his spaceship can partially resist Green Lantern energy; he knows this himself. So he is clear that it is impossible for us to transport the spaceship through a Green Lantern energy teleportation portal. Otherwise, he would have run to the Green Lantern Corps to find trouble long ago."

"Then what about Barry?" Clark asked again.

"Sorry, Earth to Mars is too far. I mean, it's not that it can't be moved, it's just particularly laborious, and I can't guarantee the safety of the spaceship," Barry replied.

Several people remembered the scene of moving the spaceship at that time.

Barry's Speed Force is very special; in fact, it's not that he can't carry people, it's just that the process is slightly thrilling and exciting. Because his Speed Force is mixed with dark energy, this thing is fatal to ordinary people.

When Barry is active in the Speed Force, he can use the Speed Force to resist this dark energy, but the person he carries cannot control the Speed Force and cannot resist it, so it is easy to be infected by dark energy.

This kind of dark energy is actually the dark energy of the universe's origin, coming from the darkness in Batman's heart, counting as a part of Barbatos. And the end of being polluted by Barbatos's dark energy, see the Dark Knights for details.

The Speed Force mixed with this kind of energy has extremely strong attack ability, cutting time and space is not a problem, but it also loses a part of the convenience and safety of operation.

Carrying people and moving items are the same; it's not that they can't be carried, it's just that there is a risk. The longer you stay inside, the greater the risk.

At that time, in order to touch the spaceship away before Zod, they couldn't care so much and just bet on it. If it succeeded, they earned a spaceship; if it didn't, they could also deal a heavy blow to Zod.

But now it won't work; the spaceship is already in human hands and belongs to human property. Taking such a big risk to transport it to Mars with dark Speed Force, Zod indeed can't get in, but the spaceship also has a high probability of being damaged, which is really not worth it.

"I think it's better to imitate the signal," Lex said. "With our current ability, we can indeed imitate the spaceship's signal. Sending a signal from Mars to his personal terminal, he should believe it."

"I think we should make a feint," Bruce suddenly said. "Or rather, let Zod think we are making a feint."

"What do you mean?"

"That is to let him think we are seemingly going to transport the spaceship to a certain place, but in reality, we transported it to Mars. This way he will think he is the smartest detective in the world and will believe his own judgment more."

"Psychological tactics?" Clark said. "You really didn't learn this psychology in vain."

"Thanks for the compliment," Bruce didn't care at all about Clark's teasing tone and said triumphantly.

"I also think this is good," Oliver said. "We can pretend to transport the spaceship to Place A, but accidentally reveal a flaw, letting Zod investigate it himself, finding clues related to Mars. He thinks we used a trick, but in reality, Mars is the trap aimed at him."

"Then where should we pretend to transport the spaceship?"

"Cat Getan Inner World, how about that?" Bruce said. "Since we can't use magic teleportation portals or Green Lantern teleportation portals, then we will find a way to extend Cat Getan's Inner World over a bit. It just so happens that Zod also knows about the Inner World; Malafak must have told him."

"This idea is not bad," Clark said. "Can the Inner World be extended over? How long will it take? And how to reveal a flaw to Zod?"

"If only one channel is extended over, the speed is very fast. Hiring magical creatures to help, it only takes about 2~3 days. However, I feel Zod hasn't seen those magical creatures either; can he understand our meaning?" Zatanna said.

"Then make it obvious," Lex thought and said. "Or rather, be bolder, let Zod go into the Inner World for a turn."

"No! There are still many students in the academy!" Zatanna said.

"Do you think he will attack the academy directly?"

Zatanna considered it and felt that Zod shouldn't be that stupid either. He is only one person, and there are unknown numbers of students and professors in the academy.

And it hasn't been heard that Kryptonians have any attainments in magic; this can be said to be the only thing they are not good at. Zod is alone and weak, and without a spaceship, he shouldn't choose to attack head-on.

"He might find a way to sneak in to investigate," Lex said. "However, it should also be very difficult for him to disguise as a student; after all, students should be very familiar with each other. But the Inner World doesn't seem to have any outsiders..."

"Isn't this a coincidence?" Bruce said. "There were indeed no outsiders before, but recently it might not be."

"What do you mean?"

"Our new mayor, Mr. Napier, intends to build an internal and external circulation system, and is now selling land in the Inner World; many rich people have already gone to see the houses."

"This can be considered semi-public information; Zod can easily know it. Mixing in with rich people to see houses is the best opportunity to enter the Inner World."

"Wait," Clark suddenly said. "If the Inner World is opened to the public, what if someone mixes in like Zod?"

"Mixing in is mixing in. The magic defense network doesn't have a core, but has pillars all over the world. Destroying one pillar is useless."

"Even he can't destroy the one in the Magic Academy, because the energy transmission system is placed on the top of the spire of the Magic Theory Academy. You don't forget who the dean of this academy is."

Clark and Diana both giggled and gave Bruce a thumbs-up emoji.

"Then the next step is to lure him to Cat Getan," Lex said. "This is actually simple; the KGB runs over there frequently, he will definitely chase after it to figure out what's going on."

"Then let's wait for the good news," Oliver said.

After the meeting ended, the communication hadn't been interrupted. A few people remained in the channel chatting. J'onn's mind link bandwidth was very wide, and he didn't mind these few sentences of idle chat, so he didn't close it, still dutifully helping them transmit information.

But soon, the three giants of the Justice League let him see what it means to climb up the nose.

"Didn't you say you were going to have a Valentine's night? Have you chosen the movie?" Diana asked.

"Not yet. We originally intended to pick a few good films and watch them for a whole night. But the film types we like are completely different. I like watching detective films, Clark likes watching action films, Selina likes musicals, Lois loves watching idol romance films..."

"I actually have a suggestion," Diana said. "My friends and I used to watch bad films at parties."

"What do you mean?"

"People's standards for good are completely different; some pay attention to plot logic, some pay attention to the picture, some pay more attention to the acting skills of the actors. So everyone never sees eye to eye, and there is nothing to talk about."

"But if you watch bad films, the plot logic is a mess, the picture is shot meaninglessly, and the acting is even more rotten. Everyone has something to complain about, and they can often chat enthusiastically."

"Seems a bit interesting," Clark said. "What film you watch at such a party is not important, the key is that everyone sits together to eat snacks and chat. Watching bad films together to complain doesn't seem bad."

"Speaking of which, I actually have a suitable bad film," Bruce said. "Rotten to the point of earth-shattering, rotten to the point of unprecedented, rotten to the point of making any race doubt life after watching it. If that's not enough, I have an even worse novel..."

"How can it be that exaggerated." Clark and Diana were a bit disbelieving. Clark said: "I am good at finding the advantages of every film, no matter how bad the film is, I can find some benefits."

"Absolutely impossible. I will send this film to you to see now. J'onn, help me transmit this file to the two of them..."

J'onn didn't have time to refuse, and Bruce transmitted a file into his brain. This is a movie, and it's not a compressed package, just ordinary video image data.

Since information transmission must pass through J'onn, it is equivalent to a relay. To transmit this file to another person, he must watch it, because this thing passes through his brain.

J'onn watched it while uploading. Just watching the beginning, he found that this thing was quite long, actually 11 hours long!

On the other side, Hal approached Mars and had arrived above the Martian city, but he vaguely saw a protective shield and didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to approach rashly, so he had to call J'onn in his brain.

"J'onn? J'onn? J'onn... J'onn! What's wrong with you J'onn!!!"
