What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 359 The Green Lantern Corps is no longer popular, and the current situation of the Red Lantern Corps

You know, like how every story begins.

A long time ago, on the planet Lut located in universe sector 666, it was the hometown of Atrocitus, the current leader of the Red Lantern Corps.

At that time, his name was Atros, and he was very thin.

Atrocitus was once an ordinary psychologist who cooked for his wife and children after work.

But since the massacre that destroyed his world, Atrocitas's life has been filled with revenge, and there is no room for anything else.

He seemed to be forever haunted by anger and never stopped being angry for a moment.

Everyone who knows Atrocitus will say that he is a beast captured by anger. If it were not for the small sense of justice that still drives him, he would almost sink into endless anger and be unable to extricate himself. , turning into a beast that attacks indiscriminately, just like...

Same as his colleagues.

"Roar!!!!!"

Thalia gasped.

As the only conscious human being among the group of people who passed through the black hole and appeared on the planet Ismot, she was. When I was led into the headquarters of the Red Lantern Corps, I saw an unforgettable sight in my life——

Of course, it was not the large basin of insect-like "food" that Atrocitus took out that was still twitching slightly, and seemed to be alive, but Thalia saw a large number of red insects in the huge hall. The members of the Lantern Corps wore restraint collars around their necks and were tightly tied to the wall by chains protruding from the iron holes in the wall.

There is an urn that looks like a dog basin in front of everyone. The people who tied these Red Lantern Corps members here seemed to have calculated how far they had to go to get to the dog basin, and specially adjusted their chains to be able to touch them. It's just a little short of a length to reach the dog pot.

Therefore, those members of the Red Lantern Corps who looked extremely hungry could only scratch the floor desperately, and then began to roar endlessly like mad dogs. Thalia even saw a few of them desperately grabbing their necks. The iron chain strangled him to the point where his neck was obviously broken, but he still couldn't break free from that mere iron chain.

"This this……"

Thalia took a half step back.

Her father was an ancient man who had lived on earth for 600 years. She had witnessed countless times with her own eyes her father's body being immersed in the green spring water and then resurrected unscathed.

She has seen superpowers, magicians, demons from hell, necromancers who summoned Mr. Skeleton, telepaths, and even gods like those from the Justice League who walk on earth. Their strength far exceeds that of ordinary superpowers. The dragon among men.

She even saw what a terrifying and powerful thing her lover Batman had become.

But at this moment, seeing those crazy alien monsters still made Talia feel cold in her heart.

"Ah. Please don't mind."

said Atrocitus.

He ignored Thalia, who was frozen on the spot, and continued his actions.

He placed pots and pots of bug food on the table next to him, the only area where crazed Red Lantern Corps members weren't chained up.

He stretched out a hand, and the red light ring on his hand embodied some kind of alien-looking mechanical arm and hand, and picked up the unconscious Teen Titans members. He shot out another red light, and the red light The ring materialized into a big soft bed on the ground.

“To be honest, I’m not very good at this kind of thing, but it just takes a little practice and you can do it.”

said Atrocitus.

He placed each unconscious member on the bed and covered them with quilts thoughtfully.

Then, the healing magic circle prepared by Atrocitas in advance lit up under each bed.

If such an action was made by a gentle and kind mother, it might seem very warm, but Thalia looked at Atrocitas's red-faced and fanged face, and inexplicably felt that what he did was like an ogre. The same action is taken to arrange the ingredients well before adding them to the pot.

Atrocitus had no idea what irreverent thoughts were running through Thalia's mind.

Seeing that Thalia had no intention of sitting down, he didn't force him.

He walked to the table and pulled up a seat to sit down. Then he used the red light ring to materialize a strange tableware out of thin air, like a combination of a fork and a knife blade, and directly pierced a twitching insect and threw it away. He put it in his mouth and chewed it without caring.

"The timing of your arrival is quite coincidental. It happens to be during dinner time."

Blue-purple juice flowed out from the gaps between Atrocitus's sharp teeth, and was then licked clean by his tongue.

"Perhaps you will say that the internal organs of every member of the Red Lantern Corps have actually been excreted by the red lantern ring. The red lantern energy fills our bodies and maintains our lives. There are no organs used to digest food. Well, then what’s the point of eating?”

Atrocitus said as he ate: "But actually..."

"Roar...roar..."

Violent roars came one after another, mixed with a large number of hysterical howls of unknown meaning.

Atrocitas frowned, then stood up: "I'm sorry, guest. This place was built in a short time and there are few rooms, so everyone had to be chained in the hall, and I spent time with them day and night, and I never thought about soundproofing, it must be noisy to you.”

Thalia didn't speak, Atrocitus raised his hand and shook it violently.

As he moved, every iron chain holding the members of the Red Lantern Corps glowed red, and soon they were strangled one after another until they spit out red blood foam... Wait, that's not blood foam. , but some kind of blood-red fluid that burns like a flame.

"That's what every member of the Red Lantern Corps has inside their body."

Noticing Thalia's gaze, Atrocitas said: "The same is true in my body. This energy replaces the internal organs."

Then he sat back down and said, "Where were we talking about just now? About eating."

"Batman's teammates, before I start, let me introduce you first. My name is Atrocitas..."

Atrocitus first briefly introduced his relationship with Batman to Talia. This made Thalia feel relieved a little, and then he continued:

"I think you have already figured out that these legion members belong to my Red Lantern Corps by having the same logo on their chests as mine when you came in, but you must be curious about what these legion members are about."

Atrocitus said: "In order to prevent you from thinking that I am a dangerous enemy or a character that is not easy to get along with, I am afraid I must explain to you the reason why they are like this now."

"After I established the Red Lantern Corps on Ismot, I forged the Red Lantern Furnace Central Energy Cell and began searching for members of the Red Lantern Corps across the universe."

"This is not a difficult thing. The red light ring will find those with great anger on its own, and then select them to become members of my legion." Although Atrocitas kept talking, he began to eat The meal came in a puff of smoke, barely needing to be chewed.

It's no wonder that for the other person, eating is simply a formality. No matter whether he eats more or less, whether he chews or not, it is just a formality to him.

So when he wants to stop eating, he just does that.

Atrocitus walked up to a howling legionnaire.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the grotesque alien legion member. This action immediately caused the other party to attack without hesitation. The other party opened his mouth full of fangs and bit into Atrocitas' palm in one bite, but Soon he was slapped to the ground by Atrocitus and grabbed by the throat.

"I am not your prey, a beast with low IQ. If you dare to bite me again, your education will stop here."

Then he didn't care whether the other party could understand or not, he directly pressed the other party against the wall and slapped the other party in the face.

The legion member's expression suddenly became clear. He whimpered and huddled into the corner.

After getting rid of the resisting legion members, other legion members saw Atrocitus killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and immediately stopped roaring, but huddled together and whimpered, like a frightened dog.

Atrocitus materialized a mechanical arm and kept pouring large amounts of insect food into the dog bowls of the legion members. When Atrocitus moved further away from them, the rope behind each legion member would They would be released a certain length so that they could reach the dog bowl, and then the legionnaire would bury his face directly into the dog bowl like a starved dog and start eating.

"My Legion is growing and growing every day, but one problem always bothers me. Every Legion member recruited into the Red Lantern Corps will fall into huge anger after putting on the ring, and that anger will swallow up their sanity. , turning them into rabid rabid dogs.”

"No matter how I search, I can't think of a way to maintain their sanity for the time being, and they don't have the same ability to manifest themselves as me and the members of the Green Lantern Corps. Their only way to attack is to open their mouths, and then The red light energy spewed out from his mouth.

They transform that energy into blazing blood flames. Apart from this single method, they no longer have other abilities. "

As Atrocitus spoke, he kept feeding his insect dishes to each legion member, just like an old farmer feeding pigs. It took a long time before he finally finished feeding everyone.

Atrocitus turned around and walked towards Thalia carrying the empty food bowl: "So, I tried to feed them. Although the members of the Red Lantern Corps did not need to eat, I still tried to feed them, trying to make them They retrieve the memory of being born as intelligent beings through the feeling of eating.”

Atrocitus said: "Eating makes people peaceful, brings a sense of fullness and satisfaction, making us mistakenly think that we still need to eat to survive, making us mistakenly think that we are not the monsters swallowed by hatred now."

"This is just some experimentation."

Atrocitus said: "Anyway, I don't know how long you will stay here, but Batman said that he will come to you soon, so stay quietly. There is food on the table, I sincerely I recommend you give it a try.”

"You just need to..."

Atrocitus turned his head suddenly, and he suddenly felt the portal opened by the sonic blast channel appear next to his central energy battery.

He turned to look at Thalia:

"Looks like Batman has arrived."

"But before you see him," Atrocitus said, "I have to see him and tell him something."

Before Thalia could react, Atrocitus shot out a red light from his hand, fixing Thalia in place.

……

……

……

"Okay, okay, let's play it like this, right? I just solved the problem of Sky Eclipse, and Neptune has another problem. This job can't be done. After solving the problem of Sky Eclipse, Neptune and Night Owl pop up, can this matter still be done? Can’t it be over?”

"Hal Jordan is the person with the most leadership ability in the entire Justice League. Although he himself is quite out of touch, at least compared to other members who have obvious character weaknesses or strength weaknesses, Hal himself is a good leader material... …”

"No, after this incident is over, I will call Hal Jordan on Oa Star. If he doesn't answer the phone, I will go find him in person. He must return to Earth quickly..."

Chen Tao thought this as he stepped across the sonic tunnel. As the passage closed behind him, what came into view was Atrocitus with a mouth full of fangs.

"Ah, it's Atrocitus, you... huh?"

When he first saw Atrocitus, Chen Tao felt something was wrong.

To put it simply, Atrocitus is a beast that is always angry, but he is strong-willed enough to be able to control his temper.

But at this moment, Atrocitus seemed at a loss. It didn't mean that his eyes had lost their brightness like a raped marmot, but that he lacked the raging anger that he once had from the bottom of his heart.

This is unusual, very unusual.

Chen Tao lowered his head and even saw traces of the meal he had just eaten between his teeth.

What the hell kind of life is this? Does it match your red light master temperament?

He saw Atrocitus flying over with a languid look. Before Chen Tao could ask what the current situation of the Teen Titans was, Atrocitus spoke first.

"Batman, I have something to tell you."

"Well, you said."

A question mark floated on Chen Tao's forehead. In fact, he just wanted to ask Atrocitus what happened when he lost his target, but Atrocitus seemed very serious, so Chen Tao asked him to speak first.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Oh, that's it." Atrocitas said:

"The Green Lantern Corps is gone."

Chen Tao almost choked to death.

"What? Say it again?"

"Okay." Atrocitus said, "To be precise, the Green Lantern Corps is missing."
