But is this really disbelief?
I'm afraid that's not the case. As a woman who can assume the leadership position of JLA, Amanda's mind will not be so simple.
Not to mention the surveillance video evidence she had. Although it seemed that Cyborg of the Justice League attacked the JLA laboratory and hijacked Firestorm, that surveillance video was sent through an email address outside the country. The situation of sending it to the mailbox of JLA headquarters is very suspicious.
However, it is one thing to be suspicious, but it is another thing to go with the flow. To seek benefits from the Justice League for yourself and the JLA, you still have to do it. What’s more, Firestorm, their important researcher of the JLA, is indeed Missing is gone!
. . . .
"Since you are not ready to believe it, what are you going to do?"
Batman asked Amanda this question.
"I want the Justice League to hand over Cyborg!"
Amanda said directly.
"As I said just now, Cyborg was attacked and kidnapped, and we are following the traces of that group of people."
"Then I will tell reporters outside later that the Justice League intends to cover up a criminal and a criminal hero, and publicize the surveillance video I have."
Amanda held up the surveillance video disc in her hand as evidence and seemed to be threatening.
"Put it out, I need to see it."
Amanda did not refuse and handed the dial in her hand to the person in charge of external affairs of the Justice League next to her.
The original surveillance video is in the JLA's computer, and another copy was found in the research laboratory that was attacked.
The only difference is that one has sound and the other is silent. She is not afraid that the contents of the copied disk will be destroyed.
Not long after, Batman saw the surveillance video played on the other side through the linked call video. In this video, it was the audio version of the defeat of Firestorm that Grid sent to JLA.
After reading it, before Batman could speak, Wu Ke spoke first: "If Cyborg has been attacked, the guy who appears here should be Grid."
"grid?"
Amanda sounded confused.
"The mechanical part that assists Cyborg calls himself this after being infected with an artificial intelligence virus and giving birth to a personality."
Wu Ke explained.
"Virus? Artificial intelligence personality?"
Amanda narrowed her eyes and focused on the young man who appeared here, who was actually a little abnormal. She had some doubts in her heart that Wu Ke was actually an omnic expert in the Justice League.
"If you say that, can I think so, the superheroes in the Justice League, their power is not under their own control, but there are great hidden dangers. They may go berserk at any time for different reasons, and then have a negative impact on society and the environment. A huge threat to the world?”
Amanda asked.
Wu Ke thought for a while and felt that the superheroes he occasionally saw in comics seemed to be like this.
However, just before he spoke, Batman warned Amanda: "Don't use such inductive words to induce others to tell answers that are not conducive to the Justice League. I think you should have Bring something to record with you!”
Wu Ke's eyes lit up. Oh, it's true. In Amanda's clothes and in the inner breast pocket, there was a pen-shaped mechanical device.
"嘁~"
After being discovered, Amanda made some unhappy sounds from her mouth.
"I don't think this is a big problem. Real heroes and righteous people should face their own strengths and weaknesses.
Just like me, my greatest advantage is honesty. I never lie to good people. Even if I do tell a lie, it is usually a white lie.
The shortcoming is that I am too honest with bad people, and I can't help but use rough methods to understand the sinful lives of those people. "
"So, can you answer the question I just asked?"
Amanda's eyes also lit up. The person in front of her was probably the young man from the Justice League.
As soon as she heard what she said, she knew that he was too naive and could easily be taken advantage of by others, such as her being used as a gun user.
"certainly."
Wu Ke replied as she expected.
"Then can you tell me what you think of the Justice League superheroes, especially Superman."
Amanda steered the conversation towards Superman, who was the biggest problem.
"Superman is great. Although he can also be violent and out of control, he is either tricked by someone, or someone challenges his bottom line and makes him do impulsive things."
Wu Ke is a Superman fan, but he cannot deny that in comics or movies, Superman occasionally does things that make him want to complain and feel a little bit stupid.
Especially some fan works with Superman as the villain.
And once he sees that kind of thing, he can often tear it up without his mother taking action.
"That's what it means to be out of control."
Amanda nodded. Wu Ke noticed something was wrong and looked at the woman with raised eyebrows.
"Superman's strength is terrifying. Once he is out of control, he will cause great damage to the world. Do you admit this?"
Wu Ke was silent, but nodded, and then looked at what the woman who seemed to be satisfied with his answer said next.
"In that case, do you agree with the idea of restricting Superman?"
Amanda asked, tempting the topic again.
"How to restrict it? Do you want to build a large kryptonite cage and lock Superman up like a beast?"
Wu Ke's tone was a little unkind.
Amanda didn't hear it, but felt that this young man was very wise and spoke to her heart.
However, Superman has a great reputation in all walks of life in today's society, but his words cannot be accepted so straightforwardly and must be roundabout.
"Of course not, but if Superman is willing to voluntarily accept control for the stability and safety of the world, everyone will feel more at ease. After all, Superman's power is too powerful."
Batman had nothing to say. He also had such worries and actually took countermeasures.
"Control, who do you think should be in charge, the JLA?"
Wu Ke suddenly asked.
"No, it should be the country. We, the JLA, will only help as the country's auxiliaries..."
Amanda hasn't finished her high-sounding words yet.
"Nonsence!"
Was interrupted by such a sound.
She felt a little warm on her face, but it was, it was spat on! ?
"you……"
"The JLA is just an institution created by this country to check and balance the Justice League, but its essential behavior most of the time has nothing to do with justice. Most of the time, you only care about your own interests!"
In the comic "The Three-Body Problem", if Atom Girl did not have the hidden identity of the Criminal Syndicate, she would be a JLA spy, and with Amanda's approval, she would attack Superman.
The tiny fragments of kryptonite were inserted into Superman's nerves, causing Superman to accidentally kill Dr. Light, thereby imprisoning Superman's freedom. Of course, this was all Clark's voluntary cooperation...
“Superman is a human being, heroes are also human beings, and humans are not dead creatures, so who can say that his life will not go wrong or get out of control?
Superman's morals are very high. If he needs to be controlled, then shouldn't the first ones who should be controlled be other guys with low moral bottom lines, like you, JLA! "
"Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense? Our JLA is a government agency. We..."
Wiping the drool off her face, Amanda prepared to explode.
"Atomic Girl is a spy planted by your JLA in our Justice League, isn't she?!"
Batman silenced Amanda with just one sentence.
"Batman, what are you talking about, I don't know..."
"Your heart just missed a few beats."
Wu Ke reminded from the side.
"Diana's Lasso of Truth can make people tell the truth. Atom Girl has already confessed everything under the Lasso of Truth."
Batman also interrupted Amanda.
"Also, she attacked Cyborg, and she should also be a companion of the group that attacked your JLA.
I don't know how you obtained the surveillance video, but I suspect it is a conspiracy to provoke a fight between the JLA and the Justice League. The probability is very high. "
I don’t know why the low and hoarse voice paused, but Batman continued: “Amanda, I know what you are thinking, you want to suppress the Justice League’s credibility in society.
Come to think of it, if I didn't talk to you, you would have released the surveillance video in your hand to outside reporters and used that as evidence to smear the Justice League and put a big label on the Justice League.
However, the reason why you don't do this directly is because this approach is not the result of maximizing interests.
When you take this thing, you probably want to use it as a bargaining chip to bargain with me and maximize your benefits!
I'm right, right? "
"Batman, you are indeed the brains of the Justice League, but I am not a deep-thinking guy like you. I don't have as many thoughts as you."
There was a slight change in Amanda's face, but that change quickly disappeared from the woman's face, and she responded in a rather calm tone.
This is a bit like being told that your thoughts have been revealed, but forcing yourself to calm down.
"Okay, whether you have this idea or not, I have to remind you that the world is about to face a big crisis, and in the face of this big crisis, someone with deliberate intentions has instigated the relationship between the Justice League and the JLA. Do we have to Should we give up thinking and just start fighting and fighting among ourselves for the benefit of our respective positions?
Is this really good? "
"Crisis, you mean those who provoke us?"
"The Gotham City where I am now has been thrown into chaos by those people. If we leave those guys alone, there is no doubt that those guys will cause even greater chaos."
Batman spoke with facts, but did not tell Amanda about the crisis of the future war between gods. He also used his eyes to signal Wu Ke not to interrupt.
Batman can't trust Amanda at all. This guy is always working hard to cause trouble for the Justice League. He is very snobbish and sometimes his methods are a bit underhanded.
“Both the Justice League and the JLA are organizations that want to maintain justice and social order. We have competition with each other, but competition should be healthy and not hold each other back.
As for things like credibility, it should also be determined by the efficiency of arresting criminals and solving social problems. "
Batman speaks his mind.
"You mean, whoever catches the group of criminals who provoked us first will be stronger than the other party?"
Amanda asked rhetorically.
"In fair competition, the losing side holds a press conference and admits that it is inferior to the winning side, and on this basis, I am willing to share all the intelligence that our side has on its opponents."
Batman is sincere.
Amanda frowned and fell into thinking.
In an aboveboard and fair competition, if it can compete with the Justice League, this will of course be a good thing. However, as the rival organization of the Justice League all the year round (what she thinks), Amanda is somewhat unconfident about the strength of the JLA. Otherwise, she would Nor will it involve inserting spies into Justice League.
After thinking for a while, Amanda raised her head and said, "If I don't agree, what if I have to tarnish the image of your Justice League now?"
After the words fell, before Batman could answer, Amanda was grabbed by the neck and lifted up. Wu Ke's voice rang out: "Then maybe, I will do something to calm down the outside first..."
"Bang bang bang..."
After being choked, Amanda reacted very quickly. She directly pulled out the pistol from her waist and shot the person who choked her without hesitation.
In the room, a loud gunshot rang out, trying to interrupt his words, but unfortunately, the bullet did nothing except useless work, became flat and fell to the ground.
Amanda's eyes narrowed, and she listened to the young man who strangled her neck and continued to say the rest of the words.
"I will join forces with Superman to clean up the JLA who always likes to hold back. At this time on this planet, there should be no one who can stop Superman and I from doing this."
"Are you also...a Kryptonian?"
Amanda asked with some difficulty.
"You can think so."
Wu Ke did not explain his origin.
"..."
Batman opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. Originally, Bruce Wayne planned to make a deal with Amanda. He would first join forces with the JLA to deal with the fast-running criminal syndicate remnants, so as to give way to solve this problem. Credit and reputation are the conditions for doing something, but now it seems that the effect of letting others intimidate you first, and then using inducements yourself, will be better!
. . . .
Amanda, who came over to question the crime, left without any incident, but she agreed to Batman's proposal to join forces.
Wu Ke felt it was a pity. He didn't like the JLA organization. If there was a chance, teaming up with Superman to defeat that organization would be what Wu Ke would prefer to do.
Wu Ke still remembers that in the comic plot of "Darkseid War", after the Anti-Monitor and Darkseid were both defeated, Steve Trevor (JLA's No. 2) was controlled by Greer. character, Wonder Woman's first boyfriend), was stuffed into the Anti-Life Equation and came out to cause trouble.
When it comes to losing control, the JLA is the organization that causes the most troubles and is used the most by others in the story lines of "War of the Three-Body Problem", "Eternal Evil", and "Darkseid War".
That woman just now actually had the nerve to say that someone else was out of control?
Gan!
