What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 435 Damn it, Neptune has turned into a fish-headed man
"How is the situation here with Neptune?"

Chen Tao walked quickly down the corridor, followed by Martian Manhunter. Strictly speaking, although he was walking quickly and quickly, in fact, this was an act of delaying time, because if he was really in a hurry, he would have flown directly from the window to the other party.

He was about to meet Mela, the wife of Aquaman Arthur. He did not dare to tell her that he had been busy with the Green Lantern Corps during this period. He had no idea about the disappearance of her husband, Arthur, and did not tell her at all. He had entered before, so he could only wait for a while and then ask Martian Manhunter to urgently tell him what the current situation was.

"Diana organized the manpower." Martian Manhunter said: "During your absence, based on our dozens of hours of tracking, we finally discovered that Aquaman, who had left the battlefield directly at that time, was walking towards the coastline entirely by running."

"Can he still find a way out in that state?"

"He smashed the building with his superhuman body, and physically penetrated the wall purely with his iron head. He even punched a human-shaped hole in the load-bearing wall of the building, single-handedly demolishing hundreds of buildings along the way. All the houses have become dilapidated, and the bills have been included in the Justice League’s accounting for the last quarter. We paid about..."

"Let's get to the point." Chen Tao interrupted him: "Money is not an issue. I remember Lucius told me last time that Wayne Group and Lex Group have recently entered real estate."

"Anyway, he finally reached the shore and jumped into the Pacific Ocean. After entering the water, we lost track of Arthur. Diana found the tracking of each member of our alliance that you left in the Justice League's computer during the emergency. System, you gave her permission—"

"Ahem, I put trackers on each of you just to prevent emergencies."

"……I did not say anything."

Then Martian Manhunter paused, and then said in a positive tone:

"Neptune's lover, are they married now?"

Martian Manhunter said: "Before you came back, due to repeated failures to dive into the trench, I had asked the Flash and Lucius to help us build a submarine that could use the Speed ​​Force to accelerate, although the prerequisite was that the Flash was inside. Act as a running hamster to generate electricity. Now that you are back and you have brought back Hal, it just so happens that there are people using green light energy to build a protective shield outside the submarine, and we are not afraid of the trench tribe's attack."

"The wedding hasn't been held yet, but it will be soon. Anyway, with the help of Mela's water control magic, we dived to the bottom of the trench, and encountered a large group of trench tribes. They are a group of frog-like people with sharp edges that can tear steel. The fangs' race. The submarines were attacked by them, and Mela used water control magic to kill some, but it was a drop in the bucket."

"We eventually found out he swam into the Mariana Trench."

Martian Manhunter said, and then he added:
"Of course, this may seem a bit unfair to Mela, and I won't say it in front of her. She is a good woman and has been running for Arthur's affairs. Even though Arthur has been temporarily missing, She is still pushing forward the matter of establishing diplomatic relations between Atlantis and the government. She always feels that Arthur is only temporarily absent, and she cannot interrupt half of what Arthur has done..."

"Although the tracking method for Arthur that Diana found in the Justice League computer system has been disabled by the huge water pressure of tens of thousands of meters under the sea, I think you must have hidden the means to track him, right? "

"Later, we organized several more dives, but we still couldn't find any trace of Neptune. The place was really too dark and too big. What I mean is that if Neptune didn't want us to find him, then we wouldn't be able to find him in our lifetime. get."

"The Justice League organized several exploration operations. In order to prevent misunderstandings from Atlantis, we did not work with them, but with Mela. You know her..."

Martian Manhunter said in a deep voice: "I shoulder the important task of communicating between the Justice League and the U.S. government. But now the relationship between Atlantis and the government is very tense, and even the Justice League cannot mediate. Those Atlanteans don't want to mediate at all. Listen to the Justice League. The impact of Arthur's disappearance is profound and significant. We need Arthur, even if it means digging three feet, we have to find him."

"But with all due respect, without Arthur, no matter how much propaganda work Mela does and no matter how many land people's views on Atlantis are changed, no matter how much we help her to get rid of the government people... The people of Atlantis will not obey her orders. Although Arthur Curry is not the King of Atlantis, he is the son of the previous King of Atlantis, and his blood flows through him. Royal blood.

Although he did not officially inherit the throne, he had been in the stage of prince regency before. Whether it was Commander Mook or Regent Tula, these powerful figures among the Atlanteans were all firm supporters of Arthur. , they are staunch royalists, and even if they don't approve, they will support all Arthur's decisions. But if you ignore Arthur's influence on them, these people are a group of out-and-out conservatives, stuck in their ways, smelly and hard. I'm afraid I have to tell you, Batman..."

"...Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. Please continue."

"That's the largest trench in the world."

Chen Tao said nothing.

Martian Manhunter gave a Batman-esque look of disapproval.

As they walked, they had almost reached the Justice League's reception hall.

"Yes, the ocean environment in the northeastern Philippines and near the Mariana Islands is extreme, with high water pressure, complete darkness, and low temperatures. It is one of the most hostile areas on earth." Martian Manhunter continued: "Then Aquaman He jumped in. That place is a forbidden area that even the Atlanteans cannot enter."

Chen Tao turned his head and said, "I will not use tracking methods on my teammates."

"...Okay, that's right." Chen Tao finally raised his hands and admitted this.

After understanding the general situation, Chen Tao passed Martian Manhunter, took the lead, and walked directly towards the hall. When his back was turned to Martian Manhunter, Chen Tao frowned, looking thoughtful.

The problem Martian Manhunter mentioned is indeed serious. Many people think that Aquaman Arthur Curry is the least valued character in Justice League, and even give him nicknames such as Fish Talk Man, but many people actually forget that in a certain timeline , the war between Atlantis and Paradise Island almost destroyed the world. Chen Tao has been supporting Aquaman Arthur's plan to establish real diplomatic relations between Atlantis and mankind. When the Justice League was first established, he even went so far as to recruit Aquaman Arthur Curry for this purpose——

He plans to help Neptune conquer the Atlanteans, and then keep increasing the favorability of the Atlanteans. The final goal is to attract all Atlanteans to use them as batteries.

Um...this may sound like a villain's statement, but the Atlanteans are a group of real little supermen. Even the most ordinary Atlanteans can completely destroy humans with their physical fitness and strength. The strongest athletes, of course, do not include villains like the sports master or javelin captain who are former Olympic gold medal athletes.

Not only when he knew that he had to face the Anti-Monitor, but since he discovered that someone could help him share his power by pulling fibers, Chen Tao has been consciously looking for targets to help him share his power, including Neptune and Atlantis. This person is the potential living battery target that he started planning and preparing early.

It was not that Chen Tao had never considered using ordinary people as batteries, but in the end he quickly came to the conclusion that this was impossible. Because the time they can endure is too short, Killer Crocodile can help pull people down on the spot, but once there are too many people, such an operation will inevitably be impossible to take care of.

There is no way that Chen Tao could cause casualties. In this case, the nature of searching for living batteries would change. Using ordinary people as batteries is not something that villains have done before, but they don't care whether you live or die, they use them to recharge to achieve their own goals, and in the end, your life or death is decided. Anyway, ordinary people in the DC world are just like leeks. They are all resurrected when the timeline is restarted, but it is impossible for Chen Tao to do such a thing.

But the Atlanteans are different. With millions of Atlanteans helping to share, this is definitely a huge help. It was impossible for Chen Tao to let the fruits he prepared in advance become unusable due to accidents or other reasons.

"You were well prepared, Ron." Chen Tao said, "Arthur's matter can't be delayed any longer. Now that I finally have time to spare, I must deal with this matter urgently. Go get ready. , we are going to find Arthur in the trench. We want to see him alive and his body when he dies. "

Martian Manhunter nodded, Chen Tao took a deep breath and opened the door.

The next person he had to face was Mera, the Queen of the Sea, who had lost her boyfriend. While Chen Tao frowned, he planned to send a message to other members of the Justice League, asking them all to come to the reception hall, and then they brainstormed and came up with a The rescue plan came out, and Martian Manhunter had already used the Speed ​​Force submarine it had built with Barry. Chen Tao went to contact Hal, and then they set off to...

Chen Tao opened the door.

He saw Hai Hou Meila sitting on the sofa in the living room, with an anxious look on her face.

Mela is a young woman in her 20s, with burgundy hair and wearing clothes with blue scales. Her face looked a little sharp, and she looked like a woman who was not easy to mess with. But at this time, her face was full of sorrow and confusion, and the sharpness on her face was wiped away, making me feel pity for her.

Chen Tao prepared his tone for a moment: "I think you are Mela. Don't worry, the Justice League has made complete preparations to save Arthur. I am back now, and I will be able to..."

But his words were quickly interrupted by the Queen of the Sea, Melaso.

Chen Tao heard Mera's strange voice: "Batman, I'm not here to urge Justice League to find Arthur. Maybe it's hard to say, but I have to tell you... Ya Se found it.”

Chen Tao: “?”

"Isn't that a good thing?" he said, "Is there any problem with this?" Then he asked: "Well... wait, if he comes back, why are you still coming to the alliance headquarters? Is there any problem?"

"He went home by himself," Mela said, "but his situation is a bit complicated now. Arthur is sick, very sick. Can you come and see him alone?"

More than 20 minutes later, Neptune Arthur's home was located in Cien Port.

"I don't quite understand why you can't let the Justice League join you." Chen Tao followed behind Meila and closed the door of the house. He said, "If Arthur really comes back, shouldn't this be a good thing? Ron is still preparing to search for Arthur's submarine. I just told him to stop looking for it. Now..."

Chen Tao said half of what he said, and then stopped abruptly.

Because he saw a strong human body with a fish head sitting on the sofa in the room. The fish-headed monster was naked and had a bunch of fangs in its mouth.

It's a real fish head. It looks like a carp or something. Chen Tao doesn't know much about fish, but this is too outrageous. What kind of monster is this? ? ? It's not that Chen Tao has never seen King Shark before. Although he is also a monster with a fish head, he at least looks more like a shark with arms and legs.

But the thing in front of him still had a human body, but his head suddenly turned into a fish. This seemed too weird. Chen Tao almost jumped up: "What, where is Arthur?"

He stared at the beastly creature that seemed to have been cut off from the head of a living fish by some being, then enlarged, and suddenly grafted onto a human body. Silver-white particles flashed on his body, and the extremely fast bullets were already synchronized with it. He was about to attack the living fish-headed monster: "What are you?"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The fish-headed monster jumped up from the sofa and gestured at Chen Tao anxiously, but Chen Tao couldn't understand half of his words. Seeing that Chen Tao couldn't understand, the fish-headed monster became even more anxious. He kept opening and closing its fish mouth, as if vomiting, and spit out a bunch of bubbles at Chen Tao, which fell on the floor of the living room. Then the fish-headed monster also realized this and hurriedly tried to close its mouth, but failed. Chen Tao wanted to attack him again. He first caught the monster and then figured out what happened, so it suddenly became a mess. .

It wasn't until Mei La stood in front of him that Chen Tao finally understood the situation... This guy was Arthur, and his situation now seemed a little different from what Chen Tao had imagined.

His head completely turned into the shape of a fish. What Chen Tao meant was that he had the head of a fish and truly became a fish man!
