What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 341 The mastermind behind the scenes (back to the main plot!)

Death Valley, California.

"Power does not corrupt, fear does. Perhaps the fear of losing power..."

Clang.

A leather boot stepped on the hollow iron mesh steps. The sound was particularly noticeable in the empty corridor.

This is the Berelfe Prison of the Sky Eye Society. Villains such as Leopard Girl, Steel Beam, Shrapnel, and Gigantamax were all imprisoned here before and after they were defeated by Batman and Wonder Woman.

As one of the superhuman prisons controlled by the government, Amanda Waller put a lot of effort into this prison. Not only did she deploy enough defenses to deal with superhuman attacks, but in order to prevent criminals from escaping, she also specially invited Batman Reinforced with Brainiac's technology.

She knew that even if Batman didn't interfere, the other party would do it, so in that case, she might as well let Batman's behavior be under her control.

All in all, caught between the entire Justice League and the government sides of Batman, Amanda Waller has found her own balance.

A small part of this prison belongs to Batman and the Justice League, although Batman has never put any of his prisoners in this prison; the other part belongs to government personnel, such as Amanda Waller in addition to the Eye Bureau. Miscellaneous government organizations that have no right to interfere, such as shogi clubs; some of them are even open to colleagues that Amanda Waller considers to be a threat enough, such as the Shadow Secret Service. Amanda Waller has seen people who look like readers. The little girl from elementary school, Father Time, and her biological commando team.

Frankly speaking, people who hear this design for the first time will definitely think that such a prison design is simply idiotic. If you simply want to create a prison, how can there be so many forces placing their own power in the prison? Isn't it a sieve?

It can only be said that people who think this way do not understand politics. For some in the government, there is no way they would allow Amanda Waller to have a prison to herself that they have absolutely no control over.

These people have high positions of power. If Amanda Waller can't resist such people, she might as well voluntarily give up some of them in exchange for retaining most of the control of this prison.

She voluntarily abandoned the useless or dispensable parts of this prison in exchange for the absolute iron and steel walls that belonged to the area under her control.

She carefully selected each guard to ensure that there was no chance that any other force would be a spy or be bribed. She even found a piece of land in a wealthy area of ​​New York for the families of these soldiers to live.

Since the establishment of this prison, this has been her base camp. No one has ever been able to invade here, and no prisoner has ever been able to escape. However, the recent escapes of Leopard Girl and Black Manta have cast a shadow on the prison's reputation as an iron-walled prison.

For this reason, Amanda Waller has strengthened security more than three times to ensure that there cannot be any problems. The escape of Leopard Woman and Black Manta has already caused Amanda Waller to lose face. After Batman and Wonder Woman captured them, Amanda Waller could not allow her people to let them go again. Therefore, at this time, Berelfu Prison was in a critical stage of comprehensive martial law.

But honestly, it's weird. It's not the first day Black Manta and Leopard Girl were imprisoned in this prison. Why have they been escaping frequently in the recent period? It's almost like going home, coming and leaving whenever they want?

Bang!

The pair of boots stepped on the suspended iron wire steps and climbed down step by step, and soon came to a closed iron door.

Click, click.

The pair of boots walked towards the two guards in front of the iron gate.

"Good morning, gentlemen."

said the owner of those boots. This voice sounds very gentle, polite, and full of male intellectuality. Even if you can't see the face, the first moment you hear this voice, you will feel that the owner of this voice must be a gentle poet. handsome man.

"No entry without permission, sir." The guard said, "Please stop, this is already a restricted area declared by Ms. Waller."

The guard took a careful look at the visitor's name tag, and his tone softened slightly and became more polite: "Sir, you must stop here. We were sternly informed that due to the previous prison break, everyone must-"

"There's no need to do this." The guard said in a gentle voice when he saw the man wearing leather boots:

"It's really not necessary."

The guard took a deep breath and repeated again: "Sir -"

However, at this time, he heard the owner of the boots say:

"You'd rather kill each other."

"What? What..."

Bang bang bang bang!

There was a sudden burst of gunfire in front of the iron gate, but the strange thing was that the numerous alarm measures originally prefabricated on the iron gate were all silent, as if they did not exist.

The bullets tore flesh, the fragments cut arteries, and the two guards who beat each other into sieves lay on the ground, making a whooshing sound with their last breaths, but they still tried to pull the trigger of the submachine gun that had emptied the magazine.

"Thank you."

The owner of the boots said that he carefully stepped over the two corpses on the ground and stepped on the pool of blood with his shiny boots. The blood was stained on them, as if he had coated his boots with a beautiful layer of olive oil.

"Going through here... this area is what Amanda Waller calls 'The Crypt'... the world's most elite secret prison, used to house a handful of dangerous criminals."

The owner of the boots walked along the corridor and quickly came to a huge hall.

His figure was stretched very long under the illumination of the corridor light, and was projected on an experimenter wearing a white coat in this hall. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows due to the backlight, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

"what are you doing here?!"

The experimenter in the white coat screamed: "You have no authority to be here!"

"Come and free the prisoners, Doctor."

"No!" The man in the white coat flatly rejected him: "You don't understand at all what we have gone through to detain them. Do you really know who they are? They don't belong to this world!"

"I know. Now, get them out."

said the shadow.

The owner of the boots didn't threaten him, he just gave the order in a normal manner.

But the doctor's whole body began to tremble.

"You...why did you do this?"

The doctor in a white coat delayed as much time as possible. He had already heard countless footsteps coming towards him not far away in the corridor.

But he couldn't control his body. He kept manipulating something on the computer console next to him, and against his own subjective will, he released what the owner of the boots asked him to release. He tried to refuse, but was powerless.

"Because I believe in second chances." He heard the owner of the boots say: "Sometimes it seems to me that the end of the world has come and gone..."

"Don't let him escape!" The noisy voice in the corridor finally approached the room. There was a bang, and in an instant, a large number of guards wearing protective clothing, white iron masks on their faces, and armed to the teeth with various weapons rushed out from the door behind them: "Catch him! "

The owner of the boots turned around: "But I still have hope."

brush!

A figure as fast as a thunderbolt appeared behind him, and a flaming blade chopped off the soldier's head as if it were alive. The movement was as easy as plucking a small tomato from the small tomato tree on the roadside.

The owner of the boots raised his head slightly, then closed his eyes.

"Hopefully I can encourage everyone to do better."

A green light penetrated the pitiful many soldiers. Although those mortal soldiers were wearing bulletproof heavy armor, they were still destroyed by this green light.

"I just need some brave souls who can carry the weight of the world..."

The floor tiles under the feet of many soldiers were cracked, and the steel bars that had been mixed into the building penetrated the surface like snakes, suddenly choking the soldiers. Some of the soldiers' lower bodies had some steel bars burrowed into their bodies, which looked horrifying.

The soldiers screamed helplessly, creating a terrifying atmosphere in the house out of thin air.

"And has the will to sacrifice all his life to save others."

Poof! A stream of blood splashed on the professor's face, and he collapsed on the ground trembling. The blood seemed to spurt out from a squeezed bag.

The raised butcher knife was reflected in his pupils.

"I love this world..."

The doctor in the white coat gasped for breath, and he felt that his alveoli were moaning and spewing blood foam. He realized that the other party deliberately did not hack him to death, just to satisfy his desire to watch him die slowly.

So he could only twitch desperately and suck in air again and again, and then saw in despair that they were leaking through his severed trachea, and not a single breath could enter his lungs.

On his deathbed, he heard the murderer who invaded Berelfe Prison say: "But something has changed... Something must change."

"I seem to be the only one who realizes that humanity is falling apart, while those with the power to bring order are at a loss."

The owner of the boots stood in front of the many shadows that were released, and then he snapped his fingers.

"We can take advantage of this, so I release you from prison."

He looked at those ferocious monsters without fear, with the same ferocious smile on his lips.

"You have been forgotten, you were betrayed by the very people you once trusted. You represent our government's darkest secrets and sordid past. And together, we can finish the work we started so long ago."

He walked slowly around the released monsters.

"If you help me find what I need, I will help you fulfill your wish. All of you."

"I will help you kill Amanda Waller," he promised.

"Hey, what you say is better than what you sing."

The owner of the boots heard a strange laugh at this time, like the howl of a vulture before pecking at carrion, which was hoarse and made people feel uncomfortable all over.

"Then what is your purpose? What benefits can you gain?"

The owner of the boots raised his head and saw the five people in front of him sitting in front of him with golden swords.

The space mercenary Storm Wolf used a corpse as a seat, rested one foot on the severed brain, and twisted on it with the sole of his shoe. His name was Rob, a Zanian. He was born on the planet Czarnia and killed all the people on his planet when he was 17 years old. As an interstellar bounty hunter, he has black hair standing on end, red eyes, pale skin, and an immortal body.

Standing behind him was Dr. Polaris, a master who could control magnetism. He had his arms folded, and a purple light reflected behind his forehead.

He is the world's greatest master of magnetism, and can easily use magnetism to lift and move heavy objects, control iron particles in the air, and even change the earth's magnetic field. He can also use magnetism to fly, control any natural or artificial electromagnetic field, or create an impenetrable electromagnetic force field that can defend against any psychic, energy or physical attacks.

(Note: This man is one of the inspirations for Marvel’s Magneto Next Door.)

The Emerald Queen stood on his right side. She was dressed in green and had a huge eyeball floating on her forehead. That is the Emerald Eye of Ekron, an extremely dangerous and deadly weapon.

Standing next to the three of them was Johnny Solo, the agent of death and the enemy of the Justice Society, whose head was a floating mask.

Rustam stood at the end, a strong man in a cloak holding a flaming knife in his hand.

"I?"

The owner of the boots hesitated for a moment.

He gently pinched his nose with his right hand, and then shook off a few drops of blood that flowed out.

"Look, Batman has no intention of caring about what we are doing now. I helped his son Damian hack into his database, and now he must be worried about his son accidentally defeating him and giving him to the other party. The companions arranged by him were very anxious.”

"I created earthquakes, provoked war, and successfully dispersed everyone in the Justice League. They were busy running around. I took away Leopard Girl's power, and then gave part of Leopard Girl's abilities back to her at the right time. And just now he let her go again."

"Batman, who is too busy, will have to hunt her down personally, and after hunting down Leopard Girl, he will have to go back to deal with Damian's affairs. This will greatly delay his time."

"And all things will bring me an opportunity, and bring me an opportunity to come to you, everyone -"

"I tell you this because I hope you can know how much I have sacrificed to see you."

The owner of the boots gently bent down and wiped away his nosebleed:

"Let's get to know each other formally——"

"My name is Maxwell Lord, and I'm from the Shogi Club."

"I can save the world."

(Note: Maxwell Lord, the villain of Wonder Woman, a telepath, and the strongest one. The most famous deed is that in the comics, he once mind-controlled Superman to attack Batman and Wonder Woman. , conspired to threaten the security of the world. In order to stop him, Wonder Woman was forced to break his neck. However, Lord anticipated his own death and broadcast the image of Wonder Woman killing him to the world, successfully destroying Lost the reputation of Wonder Woman. This incident is related to "Death of the Family" in which the second-generation Robin Jason Todd was beaten to death by the clown, and "Emerald Twilight" in which 700 million people died in Beach City and Hal Jordan was transformed into the Parallax Demon. "Light" has become one of the three reasons Superboy-Prime believes that the world is hopeless.)
