In Central City, Johnny Quick, dressed in yellow, was running fast, with the afterimage of lightning elusive, as if he was evading pursuit.
Things started two minutes ago. Johnny Quick was practicing his superpowers in his lair. He stacked sacks of knives and challenged the limit record. He could count hundreds of millions in one minute.
The daily life of a supervillain is so boring, especially when it comes to exercising superpowers, there is absolutely no fun at all.
As soon as he counted two small targets, the door of his hometown was maliciously blasted. Johnny Quick was furious and ordered all his troops to rush out of the base, wanting to see which blind guy dared to cause trouble in his territory.
Johnny Quick has many capable younger brothers. Among them, the three who correspond to Wolf, Black Canary, and Green Arrow are capable men and are regarded by him as his right-hand men.
As soon as he went out, Johnny Quick saw a menacing group of people on the opposite side. Superman took the lead, and superheroes such as Luthor, Firestorm, and Aquaman stood in two rows.
There is strength in numbers, and Johnny Quick is intimidated by just one look.
The result was similar to what he imagined. The three younger brothers were defeated one after another, and he was chased all over the city by Superman.
It was originally possible to run away, but the battle between the two black canaries was so exciting. With their long legs and fishnet stockings, it was still double that no one would be willing to change the channel.
Johnny Quick stayed and watched for a while, until the battle was over, the two Black Canaries hugged and rolled into a ball, then they clapped and cheered, and then ran away very fast.
Next to him, Superman knocked down Tyrannosaurus. I don't know if it was because of previous grudges or other reasons. He was very ruthless. He forcibly beat Tyrannosaurus from a carrot into a carrot, and his whole body became rounded.
Superman is always keeping an eye on Johnny Quick, and when he sees him escaping, he kicks the wolf one last time and starts a two-person sightseeing tour of Central City.
Fast forward version.
In the shadows, Batman, who has never appeared, narrowed his eyes and controlled the computer to capture Johnny Quick's location. He also did some tricks to prevent him from contacting the members of the Criminal Syndicate.
Johnny Quick was completely unaware of this. He chased and escaped with Superman, ducked and hid on the green belt lawn, and contacted Night Owl through the communicator.
Not in the service area!
In desperation, he had no choice but to contact Supermaster and Super Queen, but still no one answered. He was unable to struggle in the predicament, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Taking a chance, he dialed the last number, beeped twice, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the call got through.
"This is the hell line. If you hang up now, you can still be saved. If you don't listen to the good people and continue to fuck, I will definitely drag you to hell."
"Russell, stop it, it's me, Johnny Quick."
"I'm not messing around. If I say anything, I will really drag you to hell."
"I know, but if you don't come to save me, I will go to hell to report myself without you taking any action."
"It's such a good thing. What's going on over there?"
"..."
Johnny Quick quickly talked about the unfortunate events of the past two days. Since Luthor brought the Justice League from the parallel universe, this was the second time he was attacked.
The first time was okay, the Justice League people ran away after the fight, and he only lost a batch of goods, so it wasn't considered a serious injury.
I couldn't bear it this time. If last time it was children playing house, this time it was a terrorist attack. The style of the painting had changed.
"Russell, although we haven't been together for long, I recognized you as a brother when I first saw you. I was the only one who expressed support for you at the meeting..."
"Not really, the Super Queen openly supports me."
"It's different. That bitch thinks you're handsome and wants to sleep with you. Her motives are not pure."
"That's true."
"Anyway, when I was attacked, the first thing I thought of was you. I was too lazy to call Speedmaster and Night Owl because I knew they would definitely not come. You are different, right?"
"Uh, this..."
"There are beauties fighting here. Not only are they beautiful, but their legs are also very long. The most important thing is that they look exactly the same."
"It goes without saying, brother, if I don't help you, who will help you? Just hold on, I'll be there soon."
"Dududu..."
Listening to the blind tone of hanging up the phone, Johnny Quick wiped his sweat and secretly thought that he was safe now.
Battle plan: grass, wait, sacrifice, run away.
As long as he persists until Russell arrives, he can use his good brother as a shield to buy himself a way out.
Johnny Quick never doubted whether he could escape successfully, because he could run faster than Russell.
Buzz! !
The air buzzed and trembled, and hot red light swept across. Johnny Quick cursed secretly for his bad luck, raised his legs and...
He stumbled over his left foot and fell over his right foot.
…
Bang!
Superman threw the bruised Johnny Quick to the ground and said to Batman: "Who should we go to next, Speedmaster or Night Owl?"
"Superman!"
As Batman spoke, he controlled the computer with a cold face. He quickly connected to Johnny Quick's communicator and successfully obtained the previous call records.
…
Two hours later, Superman threw the bruised and swollen Speedmaster in front of Batman with a bang, and subconsciously raised his pectoralis major muscles, indicating that this Speedmaster looked powerful but was actually weak.
In the Crime Syndicate, Speedmaster is the strongest alone, but once he possesses his weakness, blue kryptonite, he immediately changes from the strongest to the weakest.
"Three have been captured, and now only Night Owl and the mysterious Russell are left. What should we do next?"
Superman asked. He still didn't know Batman's plan, and tentatively said: "If it is to exchange hostages, I don't think villains like the Criminal Syndicate will care about their teammates."
Batman said nothing and controlled the computer to contact Russell.
In the video call, there is no idea of letting Superman and other tool people communicate and continue to hide behind the scenes.
When he got the ghost card, he knew very well that the other person might not be a clown, but he wanted to meet him by name and there was nothing to hide.
The dark screen lit up, and Jackie the Clown's hearty smiling face filled the entire screen. Looking closely at this pale face with a huge contrast between makeup and temperament, I felt cold all over my body, and it was indescribably oozing.
Batman has long been used to it and said directly: "No need to act, you are not a clown. Let the person behind you talk to me."
"No, I'm the clown, the real deal."
"I testify that he is indeed a clown...Jackie, you..."
Luther took a step forward and looked at his friend who had come back from the dead on the screen. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Snapped!
In the picture, a hand stretched out from the darkness and pushed away Jackie's smiling face. As the screen shook, it was replaced by Russell himself.
"..."
After a long silence, Russell began to doze off in the picture, and then Batman slowly spoke: "What do you want?"
"I want to get some sleep first, that's all, and we'll talk later."
"Dududu..."
Batman: (??_??)
In all the years of being a superhero, he has never seen a more sloppy villain than Russell. He waited there for half an hour and dialed again.
"Supermaster, Super Queen, and Johnny Quick are all in my hands and can be exchanged for hostages."
Without waiting for Russell to speak, Batman proposed negotiations and sent a document along the way, which contained photos of Speedmaster and others being captured. Super Queen was easy to identify, but Speedmaster and Johnny Quick had a little more trouble because their faces were very swollen.
"Who are you trying to scare? You're not the only one with photos."
Russell curled his lips, shook his hand, and sent over two sets of Bruce's collections, the Platinum VIP Member Edition, without Holy Light, one set was worth 998, and the two sets were priced at 2,000 after discount.
"..."xN
Opening the two albums, Batman's eyelids were twitching wildly, and his state of mind was so avalanche that he couldn't speak.
The members of the Justice League next to them had rich expressions. They were intimidated by Batman's intimidation. They were whistling and looking to the side. They were not afraid of death and occasionally glanced secretly.
"Sorry, I sent it by mistake. That was my favorite work just now. It was played by Bruce Wayne from another parallel universe. As long as everyone is happy, don't take it seriously."
Russell apologized without sincerity and resent the photo of Wonder Woman hanging upside down.
There was another moment of silence, but the difference was that Batman breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the Justice League were more or less disappointed.
"When will the hostages be exchanged?"
"What, are you kidding me?"
Russell shook his head repeatedly: "Speedmaster, Super Queen, Johnny Quick, you only have three people over there, but I have four here, maybe five next year, or even more. We can't do business at a loss."
"Supermaster and others' subordinates are also there. The total number is more than ten. If you exchange more for less, you won't suffer any loss."
"So there is a saying. I thought you would say that because of the Super Queen, the number of people on your side will increase next year."
Russell chuckled. Seeing Batman's expressionless face, he secretly murmured boredly and made it clear: "To tell you the truth, I am not going to exchange hostages. If you want me to let it go, it's easy to just send Speedmaster and their heads over. If you think the conditions are too high, It’s harsh and I can’t do it, but it doesn’t matter, I can increase the price.”
"We need time to discuss it."
Batman replied coldly and ended the video call before Russell could speak.
"I said, he will not agree to exchange hostages."
Superman frowned and made a sound. Judging from the tone, he seemed to be showing off his intelligence and asking for praise.
Batman pretended not to hear and opened the video communication again, this time contacting another person.
The screen lit up, showing Ye Xiao's gloomy face. He didn't know it, but thought the whole world owed him money that he hadn't repaid.
"I thought you would come to me, but it was just a phone call."
"I looked for it, but couldn't find it."
"Hey, did you find it? Why didn't I know?"
A boy scout slipped into the throat cancer conversation, and the two of them ignored it completely and continued the conversation.
Batman sent four files, a recording of the call between Russell and Johnny Quick, photos of the four Wonder Women being captured, photos of Speedmaster and others being captured, and video records of him and Russell.
"..."
After waiting for a long time and confirming that Night Owl had seen enough, Batman slowly spoke: "The new members of the Criminal Syndicate are very ambitious. The people who captured me didn't notify you. They just ignored Johnny Quick's call for help. Refuse to exchange hostages and demand your heads by name.”
"So, you want to join forces with me to get rid of him?"
Ye Xiao responded coldly: "If there is no other reason, I can only refuse you."
"You have agreed."
Batman's voice was even colder: "I don't know your purpose of creating the quantum bomb, but I know one thing. Before the final result appears, you need stable order for the smooth implementation of the plan. Russell interfered with the order and disrupted your plan. .”
"The Justice League also disrupted order!"
"Yes, but before that you should remove the biggest instability factors."
Batman promised: "When the matter is completed, we will withdraw from the current universe. You can continue to plan. I promise that the Justice League will not meddle in others' affairs."
"Yes, time and place."
"The location is my current location. You should have found it. The sooner the better."
"..."
The screen went dark, Batman turned off the computer, closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of the night owl.
"Uh, is this cooperation?"
Superman stepped forward cautiously, as the elected representative of the tool people, and asked Batman what his next plan was.
"We have initially reached a cooperation agreement. When Night Owl arrives, we will release Speedmaster and the others to show our sincerity..."
Batman paused and continued: "Don't trust them easily. They only cooperated briefly with Russell as the target. After rescuing Wonder Woman, we will eliminate them when we have the chance. There is no chance to evacuate immediately."
"That……"
"There is no third plan. I don't trust Ye Xiao, and he doesn't trust me either."
Batman glanced at Superman: "He didn't ask me where the Quantum Activator was. He must have prepared a response plan. Be careful not to turn your back to him when rescuing people."
"oh oh."
