What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 374 Neither heaven nor hell can give us comfort

"Three days, it's been three days. It's harder for me to find you than to find a living creature in Sector 666. I can't believe that you put me under house arrest on this Kryptonian spaceship!!!"

Opposite the screen, the berserker Green Lantern, who originally had a body as cold and arrogant as a black rock, now had all the bulging muscles in his body withered, and even his skin had lost its luster and became like coal.

Chen Tao had just connected Han Nu's communication, and the other party seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. With a sense of despair that was forced to the extreme, he poured out the sweet greetings that he had been holding back for three days towards Chen Tao through the screen.

"In the past three days, except for the artificial intelligence robot that comes with this spaceship, I haven't seen any living person. You guarded me like a thief, refusing to communicate with me, and not letting me save Planet OA by myself. , you are kidding me about the safety of the entire universe!"

Although Han Nu lost the ability to use the light ring to translate his own language because Chen Tao took away his lamp ring, so the language he spoke was a bunch of alien languages ​​on his own planet.

But thanks to the excellent translation ability of the Kryptonian spaceship, which is not inferior to that of the Green Lantern Ring, Chen Tao was still able to clearly understand what he was talking about.

Han Nu hugged his bald head:

"Asshole! Let me out!"

"Even if you don't want to save Planet OA, you have no right to stop me from doing that!"

"Let me go, I'm going to save the universe!"

(Note: Green Lantern Mogo is a living planet and the strongest Green Lantern.)

"As long as the main force of the Green Lantern Corps returns, it will be easy to counterattack Sinestro!"

Seeing the somewhat shaken look on Batman's face, Han Nu continued to persuade: "Hal and the others took Mogo with them. A living creature with such a big body, Mogo is the strongest Green Lantern in history. Even Sinestro will have a hard time trapping them for too long. As long as we go over to support them, we can be the key to breaking the battlefield."

"We go to Koruga to capture Sinestro, and then find out where he kept the Green Lanterns who came to capture him? Then rescue them. Isn't this normal behavior?"

The main force of the Green Lantern Corps was taken by Hal to conquer Sinestro, and then never returned. Either the group was destroyed, or they were trapped by some trick.

"what?"

"There must be answers there."

Of course he had a reason for doing this, and from beginning to end, he never regarded Han Nu as a real survivor who needed to be taken care of.

What Han Nu said made sense, but his request was flatly rejected by Chen Tao.

Han Huohuo on the other side of the screen was furious and furious, while Chen Tao on the other side of the screen had a leisurely look.

Do you really use the space on the OA star as your 30-square-meter home? Atrocitus picked up the other party by chance?

However, even though Chen Tao used nano-robots to check Han Nu's whole body, and although he also used the mental ability of Manta Leniac to scan Han Nu to ensure that the other party was not mind-controlled, even though Chen Tao found nothing no matter how he checked, What a problem, but it’s absolutely not right!

Han Nu was stunned for a moment.

Chen Tao doesn't believe in coincidences, especially a coincidence that suddenly appears after a series of premeditated events.

When Oa's defenses were empty, it immediately encountered a divine ring that blew itself up and severely damaged the last wave of Green Lanterns who stayed at the base camp.

"I don't know the location of Planet oa at all now. Whether it was hidden in the original star field after being shielded, or was teleported away by someone through space, or was simply destroyed silently, but We still don’t know the location of Planet oa, right? Even if we want to save Planet oa, there’s no way we can do it.”

"You only need to go to Koruga to know what's going on. That's Sinestro's home planet. He keeps his word there and he will never give up his own planet."

"Even so, is this the reason why you have been sitting on the sidelines for so many days?" Han Nu was going crazy. He said: "Go to Koruga! The legion that went to conquer Sinestro lost contact first, and then Planet oa was attacked. , this is a series of tricks, it is most likely done by Sinestro, even if it is not him, he must know the news. "

Chen Tao asked him: "Do you know how to save me?"

The entire attack was interconnected and planned, but guess what? Coincidentally, they missed Han Nu. After he passed out, he allowed the Green Lantern to float in the universe. Then he happened to be picked up by Atrocitus and given to him. .

Whether he is suspicious or insane, so...

Although according to Atrocitus, he carefully inspected the area around Planet Oa after it was destroyed, and it can be said that picking up Han Nu, the Green Lantern, is a high probability event, it still doesn't make sense.

"No, this is most likely a trap. I will not rush into a place I don't understand and then allow myself to be plotted."

Chen Tao said, he spoke plausibly:

"The enemy has used some method to prevent oa from contacting us——"

Han Nu on the other side of the screen tried to interrupt Chen Tao by yelling: "Planet oa still exists, they must..."

"The enemy prevents us from contacting anyone on Planet oa just to cause chaos in our situation. Listen to me, in this state, everything you think about is designed by the other party."

Chen Tao said: "When we can't find Planet oa, we will naturally want to save those Green Lanterns who went to conquer Coruga Planet, but ended up being trapped in the sand. "

"Even if we go to Coruga with an exploratory mentality, we may not be able to come back, so we gather our strength and wait patiently for Sinestro to take action."

Chen Tao said: "I will only follow up after I find out that Sinestro has taken action. Otherwise, the initiative in the entire battle will always be taken by the opponent."

Chen Tao is focusing on one strategy right now. If the friendly forces are in trouble, they won't move. Whatever you say, I won't take action.

"You..." Han was so angry that Chen Tao cut off the conversation decisively, blocking the other party's long series of roars directly behind the phone screen.

It should be almost done now. Let's give it a try.

Chen Tao narrowed his eyes.

Let's see if my guess is correct.

……

……

……

William Hand sits alone by the eaves of the roof of the Justice League base in Metropolis.

The location chosen for the Justice League base is very good and condescending. Looking down, it is a steel jungle spreading to the sky, with busy traffic and endless streams.

Countless people are busy, completing their tasks like ants. No one ever looks up at the sky and tries to see what the people standing in the clouds of the building are thinking.

At this time, William Hand was standing by the eaves, staring blankly at the whole world under his feet in a daze.

Bar...ta...

Chen Tao appeared next to the other party. He didn't say anything, but took another step forward, gaining one more position than the other party:

This behavior made him almost fall, but Chen Tao knew that this was unlikely to happen.

"What are you thinking?" "I am a Christian." But William did not respond directly to Chen Tao's words. He said to himself: "My family is a Christian family. My two brothers are both good children. Then A kind man. I alone, and I alone, show an unusual interest in corpses."

Then he turned his head: "But Mr. Atrocitus told me that it was just the darkness in my heart that was causing trouble, and that was not what I originally thought. And he has helped me dispel the darkness in my heart, and now I am free."

"But I'm even more confused," he said.

"I'm just... I'm just a child from an ordinary family. My mother often tells me that everything is God's will. It seems that she can use this sentence to explain all the tragedies and comedies that happen in life."

Then he turned his head back, ignoring Batman, and quietly looked at the hazy clouds on the horizon.

"But I don't quite understand. I don't quite understand why it's me. I don't quite understand why I have to put up with this."

William turned his head and looked at Chen Tao:

"These are too dangerous, too deadly, and too crazy. Do you have faith, Mr. Wayne?"

"No."

Chen Tao told him: "And I don't intend to believe in God. Even the origin (note: the source of DC is often considered to be God) is just a powerful thing. Maybe many small people like to put themselves The incomprehensible giant is called a god, but I never think of it that way.”

"So are you an infidel? Mr. Wayne?"

"No." But Chen Tao rejected William's question again.

"Heaven and hell can't give you comfort."

He said:

"Only ourselves. Small, lonely, struggling, fighting each other and ourselves."

“I am not unbelieving, William, I pray to myself, to myself.

William's eyes straightened, and then gradually became firmer.

He seemed to have made up his mind, and then said in a low voice:

"Useless."

"what?"

"I said it was useless. Teacher Atrocitus thought that he used blood magic to prevent the darkness in my heart. Although I don't know what he meant by the darkness in my heart. But what I can understand is that my love The necrophilia has not disappeared, it has just been suppressed, just like when I was more than 10 years old and secretly used family money to hire some thieves to help me steal some neurological drugs."

"The drugs suppressed my emotions and therefore my necrophilia."

William said: "But none of them can cure the root cause. I just get a blur of the feeling, but it doesn't stop."

"They told me everything. On the Blackest Night, I now know everything about what I will become, but I can't change it. I don't dare to tell Teacher Atrocitus, nor do I dare to tell anyone. people."

As he spoke, his whole body began to tremble:

"Teacher Bain showed me the flowers. You know, those flowers bloomed in the pots like a miracle under his control. I have never felt what life is like. In the past, I was always forced to Obsessed with death.”

Chen Tao listened quietly. He listened to William's joyful discovery that he had deviated from his own dark destiny, just as Chen Tao himself thought time and time again that he had deviated from the destiny that carried the burden of the survival of the entire world.

The feeling is so addictive.

"I really thought that fate was far away from me. You have no idea how much I want to be a normal person. A normal person will not be interested in corpses, and a normal person will not let himself My mother is so disappointed, but I can't."

William said:

"But after Teacher Atrocitus helped me, I really did it. I really no longer feel attached to the corpse, but now, I have just discovered that this is only temporary."

He looked a little worried when Chen Tao didn't speak:

"Say something, Batman."

"You once told me who I would be. Superheroes changing the world and me getting to choose who I wanted to be. But none of that was true, Mr. Wayne, and from that moment on, I know they all It's not true, I'm going back to that dark, broken path, I can't control myself, I don't have a choice."

He said: “If my destiny is to bring death and destruction to the world, then what’s the point of what I believe in?

I have been obsessed with necrophilia for so long and have been sinking for so long. Why did God allow me to wake up briefly and then watch myself sink again? Why do you want to give me hope and then ruthlessly extinguish him? "

"If I will always return to the path that fate has set for me, then what is the point of all the efforts I have done to escape this path?"

"What can I believe in? God? Me? Or you?"

Then he heard Batman say:

"If it is your destiny to become the Black Death Emperor's key to reality, William, this is your Manifest Destiny. The so-called faith is something that can still persist to the end when the test is the most severe."

"If you want to earn the respect of fate."

"Listen to me, William."

"Disobey him."

"And if you don't want to believe in yourself, but you want to find a belief from outside."

"Believe in me."

……

……

……

"Batman wasn't fooled."

Sinestro sat alone in the room, with no one around him, but a voice sounded in his ears: "He stood by and did nothing."

"It doesn't matter."

Sinestro said in a low voice: "Even if Batman doesn't move, my goal has been achieved. In the whole incident, no matter what Batman chooses, it will be wrong, and no matter what Batman chooses, it will lead to things..." Results in my favor.”

The purple-skinned alien shook his head: "For us, the most important thing is to invade Star OA. We must steal the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery."

In the microscopic realm that cannot be seen by biological vision, a small yellow bug was swaying quietly, catering to what Sinestro said.
