When Tangni Troy saw that Wu Ke had left but her mother had no reaction, she couldn't help but muster up the courage and shouted loudly to the figure in front who was about to leave the sight and disappear at the turn of the road: "Big brother, save me and my mother." , are you a superhero?"
"So be it."
Wu Ke stopped and turned around to reply to the girl.
"Can you tell me your name? I want to be your loyal supporter."
As a result of the gradual idolization of superheroes, this kind of hero-supporting groups began to flourish.
Not only young people in middle and high school like it, but children in elementary school and even kindergarten also like this kind of thing.
I don’t know whether this kind of social phenomenon is good or bad. In short, the current social situation in the DC universe, Earth, and the United States is like this.
Wu Ke was a little relieved. Like the little girl at the back, although there were not many people saved by him who repaid his kindness, there were not many.
Meeting one here always makes people feel happy.
"You can call me SB. This is my name as a messenger of justice."
Wu Ke announced his name very naturally and very quickly, Yan Ran looked like an old hero with ease.
"Then, now that I am your supporter, can you teach me how to fly in the sky and put out fires when you are free?"
Donnie Troy was very bold and made her request: "I, I also want to be like you, a hero who can fly and put out fires."
Wu Ke: "???"
. . . .
In the alleyways of the city, Riddle moved quickly, skillfully turning left and right in these intricate paths.
Half of his attention was on what was behind him, but he didn't hear any footsteps following him for a long time, which made Riddle gradually feel relieved.
[It seems that Wonder Woman is no big deal, she didn’t notice herself at all...]
Some disdain emerged in his heart, and Riddle showed a little contempt on his face.
But when he turned back and looked at the empty place behind him, he didn't notice that there was a strong figure falling from the sky on the road ahead.
The mantra lasso hooked on the railing, and Wonder Woman landed without much sound. She directly stopped in front of the sneaky and suspected suspect in front of her.
. . . .
"Hey, people in front of you, please stop."
The sound rang out in the quiet alley, and the look of contempt on Riddle's face suddenly froze.
His neck felt a little stiff, so he turned around and saw Wonder Woman blocking his way.
She was a beautiful woman, with good looks and a plump figure.
It can be said that both Wonder Woman and her evil counterpart, the Super Queen, have the ability to become the dream lover of most people of the opposite sex.
This is something that most of their enemies of the opposite sex find hard to ignore.
At least, Riddle acted like many normal men, swallowing his saliva after seeing Diana.
"Are you Wonder Woman?"
"I need your cooperation for something."
Diana was not surprised to be recognized. She was beautiful, and she was not a vase. As the popularity of Justice League has become more and more popular in the past few years, her reputation has also become greater and greater. Now, They are almost at the same social level as Hollywood movie queens, or even higher.
"Yes, I am your loyal fan. What can I do for you?"
Riddle, the master of arson, looked a little nervous, but also had a kind of resignation, as if he was a... canine figure who could do anything for the goddess.
Seeing that the other party was like this, Diana's somewhat serious expression also softened a little, and her tone softened: "It's nothing, I just saw you acting in a hurry, so I wanted to ask you what's going on?"
Diana's emotional intelligence is not low, and she expresses her doubts in a better way.
"I'm just anxious to get home."
Riddle made a random excuse and said.
"If you don't mind, how about I hang my noose around your neck and you answer my questions?"
Diana tried to say that it is almost impossible for a person caught in the lasso of truth to tell lies and can only tell the truth.
The reason why almost is used is because if the truth itself is false, but the target being controlled does not know that it is false, there is still the possibility of deceiving her.
"Of course it's okay."
Apparently, although Riddle knew about Wonder Woman, he didn't understand the power of Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth.
He was still thinking about how to survive Wonder Woman when he heard Diana ask very bluntly: "Are you related to the fire in the building over there?"
"Of course (it doesn't) matter."
Riddle answered without hesitation. After answering, he covered his mouth.
[Damn, is it this whip? ! 】
This was an obvious thing, and Riddle realized it immediately.
Diana's eyes became very stern at this time: "You are the arsonist..."
But before she could finish asking her second question, the man opposite him waved his arm.
A small bottle held in his hand was thrown directly towards her.
"Huh~"
The bottle seemed to be specially made, and it broke into pieces before it hit Diana.
The liquid inside splashed and burst into flames the moment it came into contact with the air.
"Boom~"
A small-scale explosion occurred directly in the tunnel.
The moment the man threw the bottle, he quickly broke away from the mantra lasso that he had just tried to close and tied tightly, and fell directly behind him.
Diana's face was covered in flames, and Diana was caught off guard: "This is not technology, this is the flame of alchemy?!"
Being burned by the attachment, Diana felt some burning sensation on her body. After quickly extinguishing it, she felt a little annoyed after being fooled.
"You can't escape the guy who set the fire!"
She shouted and quickly chased after him.
Riddle, a half-hearted person who found out the alchemy reagent formula from ancient books, threw out many prepared trump cards.
But those trump cards could not cause any harm to the demigod Wonder Woman, and she was soon forced into a desperate situation.
"Don't come here!"
"Let's capture him without mercy."
Diana's Lasso of Mantra waved in her hand.
"Let me go."
"What you say is ridiculous. Do you think this is possible?"
Diana felt that some of today's prisoners were really naive, but looking at the young faces of the criminals opposite, Diana could understand why they had such naive thoughts.
The arsonist opposite should be the kind of guy who commits crimes for the sake of committing crimes. The purpose of such people is often not actual benefits, such as money, but to demonstrate their presence in society.
Once something happens, such as being caught by mistake, some guys will think that others will obey their wishes, or they think that what they have done can be solved by just apologizing...
"I think it is possible, because I have installed incendiary bomb traps elsewhere in the building. If you let me go, I will not detonate them. If you insist on catching me, I will let the people inside now , completely burned to death!"
But obviously, Riddle was not this kind of idiot. He took out a buckle that looked like a controller and said with some bravado.
Those bomb traps are not remote-controlled at all, but timed. He is just defrauding Wonder Woman now, and he doesn't want to be caught.
Hearing this, Diana's expression changed.
"Hey, don't think about doing anything to me, otherwise, I will just press it down."
Riddle said as the Mantra Lasso hit the ground in front of him, leaving a crack in the cement floor.
Riddle was a little frightened, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. The superheroes of the Justice League, the guys standing on the top, had the same abilities as monsters. They were not existences that ordinary humans could fight against.
Except, Batman has no superpowers...
. . . .
"Ah sneeze!"
Thousands of miles away in Gotham, Bruce Wayne suddenly sneezed.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
In the DC main world, the good Alfred just happened to bring a cup of black tea over and asked.
"No, my nose just feels a little itchy."
Bruce answered.
"Ha, could it be that I was too fast yesterday and your health failed?"
Clark, who was wearing casual clothes, was leaned against the wall and said something.
"Oh, you can't do it, but I can do it!"
Although he is already very familiar with Superman and can be called a friend, Bruce Wayne still does not get along well with Clark in some aspects.
Clark's face darkened as he remembered what happened last night when he flew the other person back to his hometown in Gotham and was tricked into wearing a kryptonite ring, which made him weak.
"You are not a good person who engages in conspiracy all day long. You actually took a kryptonite ring with a camouflage coating and tricked me into wearing it."
Clark accused angrily.
"This is just for an experiment. Can the ring I customized specifically for you really be able to conceal the perception of you Kryptonians?"
"You don't believe me and are preparing weapons to deal with me."
"No, I explained it clearly yesterday. It's not that I don't believe you, I just..."
Bruce Wayne paused and continued.
“Prevent it from happening before it happens!”
"So, that's why you're equipping weapons against other superhero members of the Justice League, including me?"
Clark was very angry after being cheated by a disguised kryptonite ring yesterday. However, when he saw Batman taking out other equipment to deal with other Justice League superheroes, the other party simply said to him:
I'm not targeting you alone, I'm targeting everyone in the Justice League. Any member who is extremely powerful or whose abilities are out of control and may pose a huge threat to the world will be targeted by me!
Inside, there are yellow lantern rings prepared to deal with Green Lantern, lightning rods prepared to deal with The Flash, and disguised kryptonite rings prepared to deal with him... It can be said that except for Wonder Woman who is very versatile and cannot find any weaknesses, Batman has prepared weapons and equipment to deal with all his superheroes.
Although some equipment feels very subtle, such as the kryptonite ring prepared for Clark, it is more like something that can only be used to assassinate Superman if there is enough trust in each other...
"I've already humbled myself, but that's because I betrayed your trust in me and didn't give you the same trust.
It’s not that I think what I did was wrong, Clark, do you still remember your rampage when you were just resurrected by the Mother Box? None of us can be sure that that kind of thing will not happen again. I have to be prepared, and you have to be as super. The hero's consciousness. "
"Well, you're right, if I go on a rampage, I do want someone to stop me."
Clark can understand this kind of thing, but if he hadn't just heard about the anti-life equation, he might not be so reasonable, and he would have to beat Bruce Wayne first.
"It's just that I think we should have more trust in others, instead of using your own ideas to control people who have good intentions to tell us about the world's crisis, and use your ring to plot against me. What do you think, Bruce?"
"I don't know if I'm serious or not. I have to see that person with my own eyes and get in touch with him before I can make some judgments.
As for the control you mentioned, that is only a choice when the situation is bad. I think we will use the Lasso of Truth, but if he does not agree to communicate with us under the Lasso of Truth...
So, for the future of this world, in order to obtain true and reliable information, I think we must use some rougher methods. "
As Bruce Wayne spoke, he looked at the kryptonite ring placed in the box on the table. He took the words of the future crisis seriously, but he did not believe the person who said these words.
. . . .
The camera returned to Wonder Woman's side, but Diana was in a stalemate with the arsonist who was forced into a dead end for three minutes.
"How can I be sure that you won't press the detonator after I let you go?"
"You are stalling for time. Firefighters have already entered the building, and you are buying them time to rescue."
Riddle seemed to see through her thoughts and said loudly: "This is not good for you, nor is it good for those who are in the fire. Although those burning bomb traps and detonators are in my hands, but you You must also know that if the fire spreads to those places, even if I don't press the detonation button, those bomb traps may explode automatically at high temperatures."
After a pause, the arsonist with excellent psychological quality asserted: "If you don't want to cause too many deaths and injuries to innocent people, then the only choice you can make is to believe me, let me go, and rush back now to help the firefighters." The crew will carry out rescue, and what I can guarantee is that I will not detonate those traps with incendiary bombs after leaving!"
Diana was silent, clenching her fists. She was very fast, but not sure. She could control the opponent without letting him press the detonator in his hand.
For the present, we can only compromise with the arsonists and those who are still in the fire.
After making her decision, Diana nodded.
However, before she could speak, a figure fell from the sky.
Riddle was trampled directly to the ground.
The person who stepped on his back directly provoked the arsonist.
"Come on, show me how you can use a keychain to control the detonation of some timer devices?!"
"no, do not want!"
Diana shouted, extremely nervous.
"..."
Riddle's face was very ugly. The moment he was stepped on the ground and heard the keychain, he knew that he was finished.
No matter whether the innocent people in the building he set on fire died or not...
