Faced with such a ridiculous and abnormal situation, for some reason, everyone suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in their hearts.
Lynn, that's normal.
...There is a ghost! !
"Lynn! How...are you..."
Diana, who had always been calm and decisive, suddenly started to speak awkwardly. She walked up to Linn in a few steps, pointed at the fire on the ground, and looked like she wanted to ask something, but she didn't say anything.
"Oh, don't worry."
Linn didn't look surprised at all. Just like every time he met everyone before, a gentle smile appeared on his face, he patted Diana on the shoulder, walked aside and sat down.
"I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask me. It's okay, we have plenty of time."
"Lynn, we don't have time."
Superman also took a step forward and stood next to Diana: "I think you definitely know better than anyone else what kind of situation we are facing right now.
Lynn, what do you think. "
"I?"
Lin En seemed to be stopped by the question. The hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air, and it took him a long time to bring it to his mouth.
"Me, I'm just thinking...it would be great if there was a bowl of egg fried rice."
Everyone looked at each other and saw doubt and confusion in each other's eyes.
This isn't quite right.
From the beginning, Linn was the most nervous and fearful person about this incident.
He barely concealed this, and Batman and Martian Manhunter, including Diana, who fought against Hades with Lynn last time, all knew that Lynn had been guarding against a possible "future", guarding against the one being He chanted "Iron Chin" on his lips.
But now, how come Lynn...
"Okay. Then I'll listen. What do you have to say."
The calmest one is actually Batman.
As early as when there were some clues about this incident, Batman had already realized that something was "wrong" with Lynn, and had been guarding against Lynn.
However, he still didn't know exactly what Lin En did and what he was thinking.
Maybe, he will know today.
…
As Batman sat on the stone beside him, looking like he was listening attentively, Superman and Diana seemed to realize something, their expressions became serious, they quietly found a place and sat down.
Neptune realized that there seemed to be something... wrong at the scene, but he couldn't think of a solution, and he didn't really want to solve it himself.
Are you kidding me? Ever since Arthur inspired his Atlantis royal bloodline, he has had few opponents, but who are these people sitting here now! ?
Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman! Lynn!
When these people get together, why does he, the Sea King, have to stand out?
So, holding his neck, Neptune looked like he didn't care. Anyway, you are all bosses and you have the final say. If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to chat, then let's talk.
He sat directly on the ground, and Neptune held the trident, scratching on the floor as if he was bored.
As for the remaining Green Lantern and Cyborg, they were obviously touched, but they also did not dare to make any move. They just closed their mouths and stood faintly at the two corners of the door.
It seemed that everyone's position seemed to surround Linn next to the fire.
"Lynn."
It was Batman who still spoke: "You can speak now."
"Ha, why do I feel like you are interrogating a prisoner?"
Still laughing and joking, Lin En turned the barbecue over with a smile, and glanced at everyone's faces one by one with a smile in his eyes.
"Okay. As expected of the Justice League, no one can avoid my gaze."
"Lynn, where are the people from Apokolips?"
"You think I hid them?"
"Lynn!"
"Look at you, you're in a hurry."
Taking out a knife, he cut off a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth. Lin leaned back and said vaguely: "Probably, he went to the city to find the mother box."
Hearing the mother box, Diana asked eagerly: "Then where did you put the mother box? Who has it now?"
"Cat. Didn't you notice that the kitten isn't here?"
That cat? That angel?
"She can beat that Apocalypse..."
"cannot."
Superman interjected: "I can't beat him. Lynn, do you have any other plans?"
"Uh... yes. I called Fiora once, she should be willing to help me with this."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fiora was a real Kryptonian fighter, one of the people with the highest individual combat effectiveness on the entire planet.
However, Batman still sat there motionless, looking at Linn.
"Lynn, what do you want to do? Fiora and the cat you raised are willing to protect the mother box, but they are definitely not willing to protect the people."
"Well, you have to be smart."
Linn gave a thumbs up: "Hey, protect the people... This sentence is very interesting to say.
I went to work for Ron En for a day and came across some interesting data.
Guess, whenever something like this happens, this kind of situation affects everyone, the ordinary people and the powerful, what is the loss ratio between the two parties? "
Once again, Lin En looked around at everyone. Except for Cyborg who was hesitant to speak, everyone looked at him with serious faces and motionless.
"The answer is very interesting, Cyborg, you should know it. Do you want to make statistics?"
Cyborg was silent.
"Look, it's like this again. Every time, he comes over in a hurry and wants to ask me something, wants to debate with me, but when he gets to the point, he becomes mute.
Old bat, what do you say? "
Batman felt that he had guessed Linn's thoughts and plans, and he was indeed shocked. He was shocked that Linn was so crazy.
"Then have you ever thought about how many innocent people will die tragically in your plan?"
"Eh?! Why is this my plan? Brother, please don't accuse a good person unjustly."
Lin En seemed anxious: "Whether it is Apokolips or the Parallax Monster from last time, it has nothing to do with me at all.
Just this time, do you think they will not attack humans, or that I ordered them to attack humans? "
"But you direct them to the city! To the most densely populated place!"
"Wrong. Still wrong."
It seemed like this was the first time Linn had seen Batman angry. It was rare for the old bat to be more anxious than him now.
"First. There is no difference between city and country, no difference between humans and animals, no difference between land and sea.
What Apokolips wants is the entire earth. Do you understand?
Second, no matter what you do or don't do, the people in Apokolips don't care. Even if you kill all those people and take out Steppenwolf this time, it will be of no avail.
The Mother Box is still there, Darkseid is still alive, this problem will always exist, and the innocent people you call will always be in danger.
Third, since someone is innocent, who deserves it? "
Pointing behind him: "As you can see, Apokolips is eating away at the earth. They are moving very fast. At their speed, they will soon bring a lot of demonoids and attack America directly, eh! Don’t ask me why it’s America, because the remaining two mother boxes are in America.
So, now, tell me, answer my question. "
Lin held his chin and looked at Batman: "Where are you going to hide these two mother boxes?"
One sentence stopped Batman.
Lynn is right.
What they are facing now is an enemy with the power to sweep across the entire universe. No matter where the mother box is placed, they will inevitably face the enemy in the end. Even if Superman or Green Lantern throws them into the deep space of the universe, it is tantamount to directly into the hands of the enemy.
On earth, it's even more the same.
So...human beings will indeed be attacked, it's just a matter of where and when.
And he, Batman, is really not qualified to decide who will die first and who will be qualified to avoid the initial impact.
This is not a matter of country, race, gender or age.
This is the life and death of a race, the human race.
"so……"
Batman's voice was slightly dry: "That's why you are so eager to keep those two mother boxes. You have thought about today since then, and you have already decided that you want certain people to die first."
"Hmm...still wrong."
Lin En shook his head and looked at everyone with a smile: "I have no interest in being a hero, nor do I want to interfere in these things and decide the fate of so and so.
If I remember correctly, I think I informed some people in advance. "
Lin En looked at it and said, "Ron isn't here. Ha, he's afraid to see me, he doesn't dare to face me.
Because through him, I relayed this crisis to those big shots a few days ago.
As a result, guess what happened? "
Snapped!
Lin En clapped his hands: "The people's right to know is gone again! Those people are running faster and more clever than the last. In my opinion, even if you and Clark are dead, they will not die." , maybe he can also serve as a translator for Darkseid...
Oh, I misunderstood, Darkseid knows English. Hahahahaha! "
Lin En was like this in the past. He would get excited suddenly out of nowhere and laugh at something that only he knew well. But this time, everyone felt a little...heavy.
"But you still can't do it."
Batman still stands by his point of view.
"I understand. Because of the law, because of justice. But Brooke Wayne, my friend.
Law and justice require you to go to jail.
Have you forgotten.
You, you, you... you.
You are all criminals. "
Lin En pointed everyone one by one with his finger: "Your justice and your laws are inherently flexible, but you dare not look at me now because you know and understand these.
You already understand, each and every one of you knows very well in your heart, you know that those people are not innocent, but what are you doing for, for...stability?
Someone is being persecuted because of them, you go and solve it, and then what?
Then there are people who are persecuted.
Old Bat, I remember, when we first met, we seemed to have talked about these things.
The people you throw into prison will still be criminals after they are released from prison. If you don't kill them, you are an accomplice! "
This was the first time that Lynn, who had always been laughing and joking, spoke so frankly and bloody.
After saying that, except for Neptune and Diana, the rest of them were a little afraid to raise their heads.
"But, I still insist on my justice."
At this time, Superman spoke: "I firmly believe that the justice in my heart has made me who I am today. No matter how many times I do it again, no matter what happens, I will still be who I am today."
Lynn, do you believe that I am willing to pay the price of my life for the justice in my heart? "
Believe it, of course I believe it.
"It's useless, brother, you won't die."
"what about me."
Batman also spoke: "I believe you will not doubt whether I have the courage to say the same thing, nor will you underestimate my persistence in justice in my heart."
"But, this is the most helpless and sad thing." Linn looked into Batman's eyes, stood up, and slowly looked around at the others: "You can't die easily. Because in our world, there will always be There is another crisis.
This time, you died, what about next time.
If a thief comes, I will die! Sounds familiar...
Have integrity and perseverance! Bravo!
But it didn't work. You cannot die.
For those people and for your justice, you also know that you cannot die. "
Lin En's words silenced everyone again.
"You're not right."
However, Batman's mental hardness is obviously different from that of normal people.
“If I have fought, if I have died for the justice in my heart, then I have no regrets.
There are too many things in this world that I can't do. I just do what I can do well, and that's enough. "
Bang bang bang! This time, Linn applauded sincerely, without ridicule.
"Good point. That's pretty much it. We've reached a consensus."
“Lynn, you just mentioned when we first met, when we first got acquainted.
I remember that I once said something to you. "
"for example."
“For example, I don’t know what you are going to do, and maybe your approach is contrary to mine, but until I see the results, I cannot deny that you are wrong.
Likewise, you can't prove me wrong until I die. "
After speaking, Batman also stood up: "Having said this, I believe that you must have your plan and your method to solve this crisis.
As before, I don't agree with your methods, but I won't stop you.
I will continue to try and fight in my own way.
Lynn, I just want to understand now why you are never willing to join the Justice League, why you are never willing to admit that you are a hero, and why you always act like everything doesn't matter.
Because you don’t want to be unable to make a move at this time. Is it right. "
"right."
Lin En smiled and nodded, his body still slowly emitted a dazzling golden light, and faint lines of armor emerged from the glow of his body.
"So, what happens next is obvious."
"Um."
In the confused expressions of Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Lantern and Cyborg, Superman and Diana sighed silently and stood beside Batman and on the opposite side of Linn.
"You think you are right, I think I am right. After all, words can't convince each other. You also know that I won't let you just leave here and go back to being that good old man.
so……"
Lin En slowly pulled out his star-cross sword from his "palm", raised the sword and pointed it at his old friends.
"Simple. Let's have a fight. Whoever wins will listen to whoever wins."
