Metropolis, inside Lucius's luxurious laboratory.
"Doomsday spores are a very, very dangerous synthetic biological weapon. Every time I observe the cells infected by it, I am amazed at the destructiveness of this organism."
Lucius explained and operated on the computer for a while, and then a three-dimensional image of the Doomsday appeared in front of Chen Tao.
"This guy has no internal organs, no digestive system, and lives purely by absorbing energy. His abilities include but are not limited to self-healing, amazing strength, and..."
"Can you make what I want you to make?" Chen Tao interrupted his introduction without politeness.
To be honest, Lucius's understanding of Doomsday was a little worse than his. After all, one is a conclusion based purely on dissection and research in the laboratory, and the other is based directly on the screenwriter's comic settings. There is no comparison between the two.
Lucius did not answer Chen Tao's question directly. He asked instead: "Does Alfred know about this?"
Chen Tao responded with silence.
Lucius said slowly: "I thought Alfred knew this very well at first. After all, you have supported each other for so many years. There is almost nothing that Alfred doesn't know about you. What I mean is... …”
"You always have various plans, I know, I don't know. I know this is something Batman often does, but...didn't you never think that you would take off?"
"You didn't tell Alfred anything, you left Tim in Gotham City, forced him to go to school, and gave up being Robin... You were trying to protect them as much as possible, but have you ever thought about what if one day, If you have an accident, will they blame themselves for not helping you at all?"
But he didn't wait for Batman's reply.
After a long time, he heard the other party say: "So, have you done what I asked you to do?"
Lucius sighed: "I came to you just because I did it."
He walked to the wall and found a hidden code input machine. He first entered the password, and then after continuing to enter multiple biometric information such as iris fingerprints, the wall opened - the Bat Family's usual hidden wall design.
Inside was a large safe welded to the ground.
Lucius opened it and inside was a smaller safe.
After waiting for a long time, Lucius finally entered the last password, then took out a tube of blue potion from the safe at the end, which was no bigger than a basketball, and handed it to Chen Tao:
"This is the answer you've been searching for."
Chen Tao took it and raised it.
The potion shows a breathtaking and dangerous ocean blue under the light.
"Intravenous injection will take effect within 10 seconds. I hope you know that this thing will most likely kill you directly." Lucius said:
"But it might also help you become Doomsday."
He handed over three more injections of medicine: "These are antidotes, which can turn you from a monster back to a normal human. The needles are made of kryptonite. Use the first antidote after one minute, and the second antidote after three minutes. 10 minutes Use the last serving later.”
Lucius warned:
"You can't miss even one second. Otherwise, all the muscles in your body will become fibrotic, and then all the soft internal organs will become bone and turn into complete ornaments. I told you that the Day of Destruction does not need these digestive organs and Cardiopulmonary system?"
Lucius continued: "Even this has a risk of death. Bruce, I know you have some magical abilities, such as transformation and so on, but after being injected with the Doomsday virus, the severe pain will make you unable to do anything." Playing with your transformations. What's more, your transformations whose principles are unknown will not improve your physical problems after you transform back."
Lucius warned: "Be careful, once you fail to change back within the time when the antidote can take effect, the transformation of you by the Doomsday Virus will become permanent! Don't think that this is just an ugly appearance. Get superpowers for free.”
"In the next few weeks, you will become very irritable, and then all the memories in your mind will disappear bit by bit, as if you have Alzheimer's disease, the world will gradually fade from your perspective, and then Soon, 'you' ceased to exist and eventually turned into a complete monster..."
Lucius said: "I really don't know if I am right or wrong in giving you this almost suicidal drug..."
"As long as you take the antidote within the stipulated time, there will be no problem." Chen Tao took it and said, "Be prepared. I can use it, but I can't live without it."
He put the medicine on his chest, and then his chest turned into a nanorobot. He swallowed the medicine in one gulp, spit it out at his waist, and stuffed it into his pocket. Chen Tao continued:
"One more thing. How are you doing with the Mad Hatter's memory device?"
"I solved it." Lucius replied: "I modified his hat to maintain the functional effect of weaving shallow memory."
He explained: "The Mad Hatter's hat originally had the ability to weave false memories, and what I have to do now is to cover the false memories that the Mad Hatter would have used to replace the real memories on top of the real memories, and then put them on top of the real memories. If you use the function of reading memory, what you read is a false memory."
"It's a low-tech trick," he said, "but if nothing unexpected happens, it's enough to fool telepaths, assuming that their telepathic abilities are based on the same principle as the Mad Hatter's ability to read minds through a machine."
Lucius paused, and then said: "Actually, after finishing this set of fake memories, I suddenly thought of it."
He clicked his tongue:
"The more a person relies on telepathy, the more he or she will trust his or her superpowers. Once this memory fraud technology is widely used, it will have a huge impact on telepaths. You know, this It's equivalent to them proving that everything they saw is not true, just like "The Truman Show."
(Note: The male protagonist of the film is an orphan. His parents and relatives are actors. His life is a planned large-scale reality show on TV.)
"If we prove to him that memory can be falsified, then he, who has always used memory as the criterion for judging his actions, will doubt his own memory, and then fall into a cycle of skepticism and step into self-destruction - ah, forget it, This is just a possibility."
Lucius shook his hand: "Don't take it too seriously, I'm just making a casual deduction."
He turned his head abruptly, only to see Batman still standing there, and couldn't help but be startled:
"You haven't left yet?"
"One more thing." Chen Tao told him: "During this period, I will remodify the kryptonite power armor I stole from Luther and the government. It will be used soon."
Lucius heard Batman say: "I ask you to change this mecha from being driven solely by kryptonite as an energy source to a hybrid of kryptonite and an energy reactor, just like a gasoline-electric hybrid. "
"Okay." Lucius said, "These are not difficult, but what makes me curious is, what new plans do you have, and do you plan to hide it from Alfred?"
There was no reaction from behind.
Lucius turned his head, and Batman behind him had disappeared.
…
…
…
"Is what I want ready?"
Poison Ivy Ivy was standing in her open-air transparent plant greenhouse, admiring the children she had worked so hard to raise. Then she heard Batman's voice, and her face fell.
"It's done." She waved her hand angrily, and then the vines next to her snaked around and handed a tube of green potion to Batman's hand.
Ivy turned around and saw that the top of Batman's head was the ventilation door at the top of the transparent greenhouse, where he probably fell.
"The control toxin mixed with kryptonite is specially designed to be super doubled, 20 times more effective than the ordinary people I used to control." Poison Ivy said:
"In order to ensure the effect, I did not make the lipstick style like the one I gave to Halle before, but changed it to take it orally."
She said:
"Take a sip, and then sip it in your mouth so that the potion is fully mixed with your saliva. Remember to mix it thoroughly, for at least five or six seconds. Otherwise, if the biological information is not completely absorbed by the potion, the other party will be affected after the effect of the medicine takes effect. They will stand there like a piece of wood because they don’t know who to listen to.”
Chen Tao nodded while listening: "Yeah, what next?"
Poison Ivy shrugged.
"Then you give the person you want to control a wet French kiss and put the potion into his mouth. It will take effect in a second and a half. No matter what you ask him to do, he will obey the order, even if you tell him If you go to sell your butt, he will rush forward without hesitation."
"..."
Chen Tao looked troubled.
"Does it have to be a kiss? I mean, if the essence is just to let the other party drink the potion mixed with my saliva, then..."
Poison Ivy said: "If you spit it directly back into the bottle and let the other person drink it, the effect will be the same."
"But according to me, if you kiss directly, the other person will most likely not resist, and it is more efficient to control people. I have done this before, including when I gave Harley the lipstick I use to control others."
Chen Tao looked at him sideways.
He suspected that the woman was deliberately trying to make fun of him, but there was no proof.
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
I even gave you kryptonite to get you in. Can't you guess who the person I want to control is?
He was a little unwilling to give up: "If I mixed it with saliva in advance..."
He thought about it, if that was possible, he would just produce a few hundred milliliters, and then...
"Of course not." Poison Ivy answered him: "The most important thing in collecting biological information is accuracy. Let me say it again, you will only make the person being controlled confused about who to listen to."
"Intravenous injection head office."
"Can."
"That's fine."
Chen Tao decided to use the kryptonite syringe when the time came.
He rubbed his temples: "Okay, I understand. Another thing: my parents..."
"The research on those two big zombies has made no progress." Talking about this, Ivy sat in her seat with some dejection: "They are just some by-products of creation. I basically understand the principle of their existence. , but it is difficult to reproduce. You know, this unusual fusion must be a coincidence among coincidences. The birth of every great discovery is a miracle. Many things cannot be easily discovered and reproduced. , just like you and me.”
Poison Ivy said: "But I have studied very deeply, and I almost understand how they were created. If you can bring the person who created these two corpses to me, I think, my The experiment will definitely lead to explosive breakthroughs.”
Poison Ivy picked up her mug and took a sip of coffee. The mug read:
Come on, plants! Human beings are the best fertilizer!
She said: "By the way, in order to give my experiment more motivation, the several conversion of farmland to forest projects in Africa have been criticized by some local farmers..."
Then she turned her head and saw Batman standing there was gone.
"Oh, come on."
She murmured:
"What the hell."
Ivy clapped her hands, and then the two parent zombies were picked up from the layers of plants.
Originally, Ivy wanted to go up and give the zombie a kick to vent her anger for working overtime for many days, but when she saw the zombie looking at her in confusion and asking questions like "Roar?", she decided again. I can't bear to put my foot down.
"Forget it, forget it, I will always be tortured by you." Poison Ivy manipulated the vines to pick up the two zombies: "Let's continue with today's experiment."
…
…
…
"Are you the guy codenamed 'Hongzhong'?"
Four people from the Jiying Alliance were sitting in their base. Since they killed both governments together, they have become the kings of both countries.
At this time, the purple-haired Blake looked at the members who came for the interview carefully on the screen.
"I only know your secret identity code in the dark world now. I don't know what your real nickname is yet."
Black said: "Give me a reason to accept you."
"My name is Red Hood. And the reason is -" The next second, what the other person said made Blake's heart beat: "I have a kryptonite-powered mecha here, which is exactly aimed at Superman."
He heard the other party say: "Yes, you must have recognized me quickly. I am someone from Bane and his small alliance. But you know, I never associate with criminals. In Gotham, Over a period of time, I have killed many scum selling drugs. You can check these at will. I only have one request."
Red Hood said: "After these criminals are dealt with, let me have the opportunity to execute them myself."
Blake crossed his arms.
"I don't really trust you."
"Unless I let you read my memory. I know." Then he heard the Red Hood on the screen say: "I am at your door now."
He heard Red Hood say: "Please believe me, I sincerely want to be teammates with you."
