Luther was almost driven crazy by Bane's torture.
People from Gotham are not normal people, they have some mental problems. He knew that if he was stolen from someone here, even he would have a hard time getting out. What's more, what if Batman doesn't plan to send him to prison, but locks him up himself first...
Wait, isn't Batman a superhero? Why was he lynched? This doesn't seem like the other party's usual approach.
Luther felt his head hurt again, and then he felt slightly dazed.
Then he blinked and struggled to turn his attention back to the problem in front of him.
Now how to do?
Bain was already lying on the ground as peacefully as a baby, while zombie Black lost control of the other party and was now a useless corpse.
Luther turned his head and saw the clayfaces who originally surrounded him and took on his appearance, smoothly switched to other forms as Bane fell to the ground, and then rushed up directly.
Luther didn't have time to think about it, and immediately fired a backhand shot, directly blowing away the Clayface who was standing in front of him and turned into a completely beautiful woman. The energy cannon did not hesitate to explode on the two lumps of conscience conjured by Clayface. , He was talking, but the movements of his hands were not idle at all.
His current goal was to escape, as far as possible, and he shouldn't waste time getting entangled with Clayface.
"Get out of here, you dirty piece of garbage!" He yelled loudly, and raised the energy cannon in his hand, killing another Clayface who turned into a beautiful woman with four consciences.
He knew very well that Clayface knew that the combat power of his clones attached to the robot was really limited, and it would take too long to gather them all together. When he finished gathering them, Luther also ran away, so he She deliberately became evil to attract his attention.
If he wastes even one second to look at Clayface, he loses. He just wasted a second to look at the four consciences, which not only delayed his escape time, but also attracted more Clayfaces to do the same.
Soon, more consciences popped up in front of him, filled with disgusting scenes that should be mosaicd.
"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"
Luthor expressionlessly blasted away another Clayface that rushed towards him. He tried his best to control himself not to be distracted. These evil-looking things could not attract his attention.
But among a large number of various consciences, he saw from the corner of his eye that a clay face facing him quickly deformed into a wrinkled red-haired man with a drunken hunchback on his face. .
Luthor knew the man Clayface had become, his name was Lionel Luthor.
This person is... is...
His dad.
Luther looked gloomy:
"Clayface! Do you think you can disgust me now?"
The old Luther who turned into a clay face ignored him and just shouted:
"My son! Where are you going?"
The other Clayface also twisted his body and turned into Luther's biological mother Leticia Luther, shouting: "Your mother is gone!"
The other one became his grandfather: "Grandpa is here! Grandpa is here!"
The trend of changing appearances soon changed, and the Clayfaces scrambled to stage a nineteen-generation ancestral show in front of him.
"I'm not angry, I'm not angry..."
Luther calmly continued to wipe out the clay face. He had just wanted to fly away with the flamethrower of the armor on his feet, but he was soon knocked down from the sky by two full-scale clay-faced beauties with conscience. Then he realized that if these guys didn't lose their combat effectiveness first, there would be no way he could fly into the sky under the interception of so many Clayfaces.
And Batman... Luthor has not forgotten the other party. He saw that Batman's lower body had turned into black smoke, flying quietly beside him, and watched him struggle there.
Luther gritted his teeth, even he felt a sense of despair. He is so stupid, he shouldn't have rushed over to save Black. It's better now. Bane didn't save him, and Black didn't find him either. This time, the fault will be in the hands of Batman.
Luther couldn't help but start to examine himself: Why was he so stupid? Do you want to save it yourself? He is so smart, why not use some roundabout methods, but choose the stupidest way to rescue him personally? With his IQ, hasn't he considered the risks involved?
Luther was suddenly frightened, he...
Then Luther fell into a trance and got his thinking back on track.
"Let's not talk about Batman. As time goes by, Superman will definitely discover the tricks I played with the exoskeleton armor. When he comes, I will be... damn it!"
The members of the Luther family transformed by Clayface were still making noises beside them:
"Bald!"
Luther took a deep breath, not wanting to continue to tangle with them.
"Bald!"
"spiced corned egg!"
"My son!"
"enough!"
Luther couldn't take it anymore. With a backhand shot, the clay face dressed as his biological father shattered immediately, and the energy beam hit his head with colored hair and sputtered like a watermelon.
"Okay! My good grandson——"
The nineteenth-generation ancestors dressed as clay faces immediately praised each other. The faces that should have only been seen in portraits praised him in front of Luther:
"So filial, so filial!"
"A true filial son!"
"enough!"
One is also a fight, and two is also a fight. Luther raised his hand cannon and fired wildly at the 19th generation ancestor that Clayface had transformed into, until he shot out the last drop of energy in the armor.
He sat down in a daze and watched Batman float to his side.
"I surrender."
Before Batman raised his fist, Luthor, who had lost his armor, said crisply:
"I surrender directly to you."
Chen Tao lowered his fist without saying anything.
But at that moment, he suddenly saw Luther blinking at him three times.
What's the meaning?
Chen Tao remained calm and continued to say what he should say: "Wise choice, I will..."
In fact, Luther's choice also surprised him a little. Normally, Clayface's disgusting little tricks can at most distract Luther. The reason why Chen Tao has not taken action is actually because he intends to rely on his own deterrence to prevent Luther from ignoring Clayface and running away. , the main plan is to play a drag tactic, wait until Superman comes back, and then join forces with the opponent to hold Luthor to death steadily and carefully.
But his voluntary surrender is really not in line with Luther's usual temperament.
Then Chen Tao saw Luther blink at him three more times, and then shook his chin slightly.
He frowned, suddenly realizing what Luther was telling him:
Come to see me in the cell at 3 o'clock in the evening, not now.
Hiss...why do I know so much what the villain wants to say? I'm obviously a superhero. Chen Tao suddenly realized this.
He shook his head helplessly, but Luther had an appointment, so he had to go there.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine this bold bald gourd was selling. Anyway, he had caught the other party now, so he naturally allowed him to flatten and round him, without fear of any conspiracy.
So Chen Tao bent his middle finger and knocked three times on the forehead of Luther who said he was surrendering, thus agreeing to the other party's riddle. Then he directed the Clayfaces to tie up Luther. He also used several other ropes to tie up Bane and zombie Black. The three villains were locked in a row and fixed there.
It wasn't until a while later that Clark returned to the scene carrying a battered and semi-scraped armor.
"Damn Luther, I was deceived by him!" Super Muscle was indignant: "It turns out that I was fighting an AI for a long time!"
Then he turned his head and asked:
"it's over?"
"It's over." Chen Tao told him: "Luthor has been caught. Let's talk about it when we get back."
…
…
…
This is Chen Tao's private residence in the metropolis. It's already dinner time
Alfred asked briskly.
"Master Bruce, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Bruce is different now from before. In the past, Batman had no dinner, only a few bites of a sandwich, and then injected himself with nutrient solution to maintain his deficit.
Alfred had made dinner for two countless times, but most of the time he was put off by Bruce and ended up having to finish both meals on his own.
But today is different. Alfred finally had the opportunity to actually prepare a sumptuous dinner for Mr. Bruce.
"Try this braised beef liver over low heat. I used a method taught to me by an old chef - I was 'working' in Argentina that year. Did you know that prices are very cheap there?"
Alfred was talking nonchalantly about his military career, and Chen Tao almost couldn't bear to interrupt him.
But he eventually did it.
He tried his best to bring up the issue while eating to make the scene more casual, and this method succeeded.
"How many of those people I asked you to find before have you found?"
Alfred heard Chen Tao ask: "Tell me specifically who you found."
"OK."
Alfred sighed, he gave up the topic of calf liver, then pressed twice on the tablet next to him, and said:
"First of all, you asked me to find Barry Allen. I did find him, but he had an accident a year ago. He is still in a coma and has been in a vegetative state for more than half a year."
The first answer made Chen Tao's heart sink:
"But Captain Cold has appeared." He said: "Since Captain Cold has appeared, how come there is no Flash?"
"That's the truth, Master Bruce. Captain Cold has been in the business of robbing banks since a long time ago, but now he just invented his destined freeze gun and used more high-tech equipment."
Batman heard Alfred say in a very calm tone:
"I investigated Captain Cold by the way and found out his information. He has a freezing gun that can turn people into ice sculptures. In this regard, he is almost the same as Mr. Freeze. But there is no one around him, sir. Have you ever seen him? The heat wave and people like Mirror Master that I mentioned, maybe they haven’t appeared yet.”
Chen Tao gave Alfred a look that meant he was going to continue talking.
So Alfred continued to talk:
"You already know the previous Superman, so I won't go into details." Alfred continued: The superhuman you call Sea King, we only found his father's lighthouse, but he has disappeared. I know which corner to hide in.
"Air Force Colonel Hal Jordan has been missing for almost three months."
"Victor Stone just won a gold medal with his team at the Games."
The more Chen Tao listened, the more heartbroken he became.
Among so many people, no one could come to help him. He didn't dare to take advantage of the situation in advance and adapted the plot on a large scale at will. If due to his intervention, he prevents these people from getting the abilities they should have, then where can they cry?
"And there's Diana Prince, Wonder Woman."
Alfred said: "If you want to find someone to help you deal with Brainiac, then I think this princess is definitely a fighting force that cannot be ignored."
Chen Tao thought about it for a while, and then continued: "Okay. So, what has Her Royal Highness Princess Prince been doing during this time?"
"Diana has already defeated many opponents in just a few months."
Alfred said while flipping through the information: "Leopard Girl, Gigantamax Girl, Silver Swan, it seems that once our Miss Diana comes to the mortal world, dangerous guys start to appear in droves."
He closed the document and said: "It seems that Miss Prince is very busy now, but I'm afraid she is the only strongest ally you can find now."
Chen Tao nodded, and a few hours later, he appeared in front of Luther.
This is the secret base where Luthor is detained. Just as Luthor expected, Batman did not hand him over to the government or officials.
It was 3 o'clock in the morning, and Chen Tao appeared in the darkness like a ghost. As expected, Luther was sitting cross-legged on the bed, waiting for his arrival.
"I've thought about it before, Lex Luthor is not the kind of person who will just surrender."
Chen Tao was the first to speak: "So I'm here now, Luther. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Luther said nothing. After a while, he slowly raised his head, with a look in his eyes that was very different from that of the day.
"Brainiac, do you think I don't know their existence? I won't be as stupid as Blake." The bald man blinked: "I have been aware of his existence for a long time."
Chen Tao frowned. The tone and demeanor of the other party's words were completely different from those during the day. He calculated a possibility in his mind. However absurd this may be, it is indeed the most likely explanation for the situation at hand.
"Did you take the initiative to split off a sub-personality?" Chen Tao said, "Are you deliberately letting Brainiac erode it?"
