Chapter 434 49. Bat Family Secret Operation·Rescuing Super Clark
Mason returned to Gotham this time to deal with the Skrull spies lurking in this world.
It is not difficult for him to do this after he has obtained the Psychic Beacon from Brainiac, but the really difficult part is that the Skrulls are only one of the outposts of a large-scale invasion.
The "awakeners" of this world are the real trouble!
Just like the relationship between the Evil Six and Brainiac, these guys who chose to betray their hometown for various reasons are rooted in their hometown. They have many ways to hide themselves well, unless they take the initiative Exposed otherwise it's really hard to catch them by the tail.
Batman, the Justice League, and the Old Master's League of Assassins have been secretly tracking these people. They have already made gains, but it is obviously not easy to completely eradicate them.
Mason didn't ask too much about the master's progress in this regard. He is also a member of the Bat Family and is familiar with the master's style of doing things. He will definitely say it when he thinks it is time to say it.
It is useless to ask now.
Although he is already an honorary Robin, Mason is obviously not confident enough to let Batman completely trust him.
Because this guy doesn’t believe anyone!
He installed surveillance cameras on the woman he loved. Damn it, if someone else had done this, Mason would have called the police on the spot.
"Whoosh"
The activated Speed Force tail ring was as powerful as ever, and within a few seconds, Mason and the master were sent to the Kent Farm in the small town of Smallville, Kansas.
This is Chao's home, and it is an area that the Justice League must protect.
The farm was quiet at night, and the harvested corn was still piled on the open ground, giving the scene of a bumper harvest. The crops on Kent Farm were in excellent quality and would definitely sell for a good price.
Little Flash, who arrived in advance, is now running around the area collecting clues, while the assassin Saint Wick is observing the surroundings from the commanding heights, and Young Master Nightwing is treating the unconscious Martha Kent.
"She fainted. It's hard to say now whether it was caused by the enemy."
Grayson raised his head and said to Mason and Master:
"But she was not injured. I am more inclined to believe that she was frightened. After all, it is impossible for Dachao to allow others to hurt his mother in his current situation."
“Where are the trace search results?”
Mason knelt down and began to check Martha's condition. The master asked a question. The young master shook his head and said:
"There were no marks, no fighting or even pulling. It was like it happened in a split second, but it's hard for me to imagine that anyone could subdue Superman in a split second.
Maybe there is some secret power that we haven't discovered yet. ”
"Hat, check."
Mason said something about the Panama hat on his head.
The hat threw out a large-scale magic detection without saying a word, and a faint blue light covered the position of Kent Farm. After a few seconds, it said:
"There is magic left, but the caster is so skilled that I can't trace any spatial traces. In addition, there is kryptonite aura left, but not much."
"This is really strange."
Mason curled his lips, diluted a palliative and gave it to Mrs. Martha, and said to the young master and the master:
"She was just frightened and in a coma caused by exhaustion. She would be fine after a sleep, but I suspect Martha may not know what happened.
She is just an ordinary person, and it is difficult for her to capture truly valuable information.
Now Chao and Xiao Qiao are missing, but where is Louise?
Wasn't she attacked? ”
"Louise is out doing interviews tonight."
Little Flash appeared next to Mason, holding a corn cob produced by Kent Farm in his hand and rubbing it back and forth twice before letting it bake at high temperature. He broke off the popcorn and threw it into his mouth, saying:
"I went to see her just now. She is driving back and she must have received the news."
"You go and protect her."
The master told Xiao Shen:
"She may also be a target. If someone wants to coerce Clark, capturing Lois and threatening her is a very effective strategy."
"Yeah!"
Little Flash gave the young man the corn cob in his hand, and disappeared with a swish. Grayson continued to look after Martha outside the door, and Master and Mason walked into the farm room.
It's really run down here.
It fully proves that Dachao's financial conditions are not very generous, but the house is kept very warm. It can be seen that there is an excellent hostess to maintain it.
There were no traces left here, but Mason went straight up and took a photo on the old TV and said:
"Tell me, what happened just now?"
"You should be polite to me! Mason Cooper!"
A round human face structured with data suddenly popped up on the screen of the turned-off TV. Dr. Zola scolded unhappily:
"I am now considered one of you. Heck, I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. I am even forced to act as a TV set on this small farm to entertain that naughty kid.
Isn't this enough to make you trust me? ”
"You know this is for your protection."
The master said hoarsely:
"Many people are looking for you. They have even reached the Arctic Circle. Moving you here is the best decision right now."
"But you should loosen my restrictions a little."
Dr. Zola on the TV complained:
"Even if you give me a free thread and a few automatic robots, I can protect myself. Okay, okay, I know what you want to ask.
But the truth is I don't know what happened. ”
Dr. Zola manipulated the TV screen to play out its previous surveillance of the entire room.
On the screen, Dachao can be seen helping his mother prepare dinner, looking happy. Then Xiao Qiao screams outside the door, and the scene ends after Dachao rushes out.
"A moment!"
Dr. Zola replied firmly:
"Everything happened in a flash!
Whoever did this must have planned it in advance. If you didn't allow me to install more cameras here, I might be able to give you more useful information. ”
"Screen playback."
Mason pushed up the frame and squatted in front of the TV, analyzing the picture almost frame by frame. After a moment, he pointed to a slightly invisible light distortion outside the kitchen window in the picture and asked the hat:
"Does this look like the light displacement caused by 'transformation'?"
"Well, it's possible."
The hat couldn't give a definite answer, it replied:
"If you want to take Superman away silently in an instant, then disembodiment is indeed the method of choice. This magic is activated very quickly. If you are prepared in advance, it will not leave any more traces.
< br>
If the opponent has prepared Kryptonite in advance or has some means to target Kryptonians, then even Super Chao will be caught in an instant.
The physical constitution of weak Kryptonians is really a big problem.
What's more, those guys may have kidnapped his children first. Even the most powerful hero in the world would be ambushed and knocked down by chaos due to concern. ”
"Those wizards who have been on the run have been focused on by Cyborg in this world, and the spellcasters under Dr. Destiny have not relaxed their efforts to capture them."
The master said hoarsely:
"There is no reason for them to take sudden risks at this time, and their target is the most powerful member among us. This is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
I need to contact Xiao Zha.
She's been tracking the cunning guys lately and is said to have pinpointed their hideout. ”
"The most powerful spellcaster in the world has stepped in to host it, but there has been no news for almost two months. This in itself represents some terrible speculation."
Mason stood up and looked at his watch and said:
"But you'd better wait ten minutes before calling back. Xiao Zha may be a little busy at the moment. I brought Zha Kang back with me this time. Although I don't know how he can persuade Xiao Zha to change his mind, the guy at least behaves Full of confidence.”
"Whoosh"
Xiao Shan's figure appeared in the room the next moment, holding the "reporter man" who rushed home from the interview scene in his arms.
Ms. Louise Lane, wearing a trench coat, burst into tears when she saw the empty home.
As the newly married wife of a big super media, she should have been used to such a crisis-ridden life, but now that even her children have been kidnapped is really hard for this mother to accept.
The master stepped forward to comfort her in a low voice, but Mason raised his eyebrows.
Looking at the "Louise Lane" in front of him in surprise, he first touched the bracelet on his right wrist, then pulled out the Johnny Gun from his waist and aimed it at her.
He said:
"You are not a Skrull, otherwise you should kneel down in front of me at this moment, but I am curious, what does a pretender want to do when he appears here at this sensitive moment?
Say it!
Do you have anything to do with the disappearance of Superman? ”
"唰"
The master who was comforting Louise magically popped out a batarang from his fingertips and clasped it around her neck. Nightwing at the door also opened his armed stick, and Xiaofang ducked out with a whoosh, not knowing what was going on. .
But then, he saw the Reporter Man who was carried back by his own hands melting like "soft mud" in front of everyone, and then reshaped into a very strange "Green Man" in the next moment.
He has a rather bizarre skull structure.
The back of the head is sharp and elongated, but it still has facial features. It is tall and the skin on the whole body reveals a strange green color. There is a cape and a battle suit covering the body.
His eyes were as dark red as volcanic ash, and he didn't look like a good person.
Facing Mason's pistol and the master's weapon, he did not intend to show his bravery and strength. Instead, he moved his mouth and replied in a neutral voice:
"Don't be nervous, everyone, I don't mean any harm. Miss Louise was sent to a mysterious fortress in the North Pole by me, and she directed me to get the money there.
Because she had been attacked by mysterious people before, those who could flicker space wanted to capture her. At that time, she was interviewing at the police station where I worked, and I saved her.
She begged me to come and see her family, convinced this was an attack on her husband. ”
"The Fortress of Solitude?"
The master watched vigilantly as the pretender took a step back and turned to contact the Fortress of Solitude to confirm Louise's situation, while Mason looked curiously at the kind guy in front of him.
He said:
"Are you a Martian?"
"Huh?"
This guy looked at Mason in surprise and asked with a hint of urgency:
"Have you seen people like me elsewhere? Do you know about Martians, does that mean that some of my compatriots escaped that horrific disaster?"
"Well, I just heard stories about you. You are the first Martian I have ever met."
Mason rubbed his forehead and saw the disappointed look on the Martian in front of him. He hesitated whether to tell him the truth.
In the micro-universe in Brainiac's Exile spacecraft, there is an entire Mars placed in it, and it is filled with a kingdom composed of lively Martians who are exactly like the guy in front of him.
Mason's answer disappointed the Martian, but he seemed to be used to the disappointment, and he cheered up and asked Mason curiously:
"How did you discover my disguise? I have approached the superheroes of this world several times out of curiosity, and I even passed by Wonder Woman in London, but they were unable to detect me."
< br>
"Your mental power."
Mason pointed to his head and said:
"I admit that your psychic perception is very good, not even inferior to Professor
Your snooping just triggered it.
Another reason is that based on my understanding of Ms. Louise Lane, in this situation she will only actively think of ways to save her husband and children, and will not be as helpless as you pretend.
You must always believe in the courage and execution of Reporter Man. It is impossible for a delicate Earth girl to win the love of Da Chao. In a sense, Clark is also a very picky person. ”
"Indeed."
The Martian nodded in agreement and said:
"Miss Lane has always been calm and did not panic even when she was attacked. It was my disguise skills that were too rough."
"Louise was indeed in the Fortress of Solitude, and she verified what this 'Mr. Ron' said."
The master returned to the room and said to Mason:
"It was indeed the enthusiastic 'Martian Manhunter' who helped her. In addition, Louise gave very valuable information. She told me that her attacker pretended to be her cameraman and suddenly attacked.
It's a Skrull!
Those wizards joined forces with the Skrulls. ”
"It seems that Brainiac's sudden death left the Skrulls at a loss. Sensing danger, they were bewitched by some people in this world and launched an unprepared attack."
Mason shook his head and said:
"This was indeed an unplanned incident, which is why it appears to be traceless."
"I can help!"
Martian Manhunter Ron Rontz took the initiative and said:
"Or it's the mutual attraction between pretenders and pretenders. In short, I have been secretly paying attention to those strange aliens who can pretend like me.
I sensed that their activity on the earth might mean chaos was coming, so I paid attention to collect their movements.
I know of several of their strongholds in North America. ”
"But why do you want to help?"
The master looked at the alien in front of him with a critical tone, who may have been hiding on the earth for several years. He said hoarsely:
"Your suspicion has not been ruled out."
"I am a 'Hunter'!"
The Martian didn't care about the master's indifference and vigilance. He explained seriously:
"In my lost hometown, this is the equivalent of your 'police' position. I swore to protect my people and family.
But I couldn't do it and I lost them.
I landed on Earth by accident, and was treated kindly by new friends here. If I regard this place as my new home, then I should also contribute my share to its order. ”
"Hey man, that's a great thing to say!"
Flash whistled and patted Martian Manhunter on the shoulder, saying:
"You should join us, join the Justice League. In these precarious times, we need the power of all good people."
The innocent Flash is still making friends, but Master and Mason have already begun discussing a plan of action.
"The Justice League cannot be used to avoid alerting others. Team K has already registered in this world and cannot be used. Xiao Zha's side has combat capability but not enough people. My opinion is to use a special operations team."
Mason said to the master:
"A team that won't attract other people's attention. I will arrange it. You are ready to close the net. Take this opportunity to catch all the Skrulls hiding here!"
"I suspect the Skrulls have anticipated our movements."
The master said seriously:
"The Skrulls' disguises can imitate abilities, and they most likely took Superman away in a last-ditch attempt to copy his abilities. They are not real Kryptonians, and Kryptonite's suppression effect on them is very limited.
What a cunning tactic. . ”
"I have energy rays that neutralize Skrull disguises, developed by a wise man from another world, and neurotoxins that can weaken them.
Not even a Super Skrull can resist it. ”
Mason didn't care about this threat. He took out the bat hard drive containing the corresponding data and handed it to the master, while saying in a firm tone:
"Besides that, I have a last resort to check them. The Skrulls can be used by us. Batman, they will become a problem for the enemy.
Just like the trouble they create for us. ”
The master was convinced after seeing with his own eyes the spiritual beacon on his right wrist that Mason showed him.
He contacted the Justice League's various arrangements to close the net. Mason also left the Kent farm and took out his flip phone. He sent the old man a message that the "execution operation" had begun and then dialed a number.
"Damian, you just came back to Osborne Tower? Just in time, take your team members to pick up weapons at the Afterlife Bar. Judy will arrange for someone to send you to the operation area.
Haven't you always wanted to show your dad your progress and abilities?
Don't say in the future that I won't give you a chance. "(End of Chapter)
