Chapter 172 Code Name: Outsider
Super Investigation Department, in the director's office, Hank Henshaw in the disguise of the Martian Manhunter sealed all the windows to communicate with the outside world, locked himself inside, and had a secret meeting with Batman in Gotham and Superman in Metropolis .At this time, Superman and Batman are browsing a summary report of Hank according to Ke Wen and the others after they solved the ten aliens. He can always see everything without the knowledge of others, and Ke Wen's ability to search for Leto and others has also become clear under his peeping.

"How many days did you say it took them to deal with these aliens, Ron?" Putting down the report in his hand, Batman asked again.

"Counting today, three days are just right. From the first to the last, except for the two captured alive, the rest have been cleaned up." Ron En also replied again.

"Three days?" Listening to Ron En's retelling, Batman also fell into deep thought. Although he knew that Ke Wen and the others could deal with these aliens, the speed of the solution was somewhat beyond his imagination, and he was a little unsure whether to Organize such a team. "Three days, how did they do it."

"From the information I have learned, Kamen Rider seems to have the ability to quickly obtain land information. Within the range of his control, all living things and non-living things exist on the land within his perception range. It can be retrieved." Hank also quickly came to a conclusion based on the information he collected and his own experience.

"Can you determine the approximate range?"

"It's hard to say, but I think Nasino City should have no problem, but as for how he did the search, I don't have any more information here."

Listening to Hank's analysis of Ke Wen's ability, Batman also fell into deep thought, and raised Ke Wen's danger level to another level in his heart.Regardless of whether the ability Hank mentioned is based on technology or the individual himself, to a certain extent, the destructive power is even greater than those superhumans with extraordinary power, but it is undeniable that this ability is crucial for their next Action helps.

As for how to deal with such an enemy, it is not so anxious to come up with a solution.Putting this thought in his heart and adjusting his thoughts slightly, Batman began the second topic.

"So, how's the progress at St. John's Orphanage? Ron."

"Basically, we've already found out, and we have a target." Hank didn't say much, and directly sent a fax to Batman and Superman, a fax of a little girl. "Ruiwen Rachel, this is one of the most likely things that Simon Jones is looking for that I found in the archives of St. John's Orphanage for the past ten years."

"Is there anything different about her?" Superman, who was finally able to intervene, hurriedly answered his own question. If he continued to be a melon-eating crowd like this, he might fall asleep.

Glancing at Superman, Hank said, "It's all in the information I sent you. As an orphan, it's normal to not have detailed parents' information, but what's abnormal is where she was found."

Listening to Hank's explanation, Superman also clicked on the email he received, which contained several newspaper clippings and some old photos.Although it was a little yellowed due to time, it still allowed Superman to see clearly the contents of the photo.In the dark basement, there is a hexagram made of blood, lying in the middle of the hexagram, a woman who was disembowelled and died, next to a crying baby, surrounded by a group of people in black clothes and black robes, similar to pagans The guy fell there in various ways that irritated people's eyes. The whole picture was full of blood, as if some kind of evil ceremony was being held.

"This case happened 15 years ago. Because of the time, many things are not convincing, but I asked the old policeman who was in charge of this case about these small photos, and they were not fake. Then this child was in St. John's The predecessor of the orphanage, after staying in an orphanage for three months, was adopted by a woman. After that, there was no news. I checked the identity of the woman. It was fake, her name, address, and phone number were all fake. of."

Speaking of his discovery, Batman, who was listening on the other side of the screen, also became serious. If he had believed half of the story Hank told him two years ago, he would have believed the rest one by one. to verify.But at this moment, I have experienced so many things, especially after I also killed a devil-like thing.His intuition told himself that what Hank said was true, that Simon Jones nestled in Nasino City just to find the child born in the ceremony.

"Things are getting tricky," murmured, Batman was also lost in thought, the enemy in the dark was watching, and this Simon Jones, who thought he was a small fish, also contacted another enemy who might attack the earth , Batman felt as if the earth would fall if he and others didn't pay attention. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, as if he was being targeted.

"Okay, Ron, thank you for the information, Batman, let's talk." Superman's voice interrupted the thoughts of Batman and Hank, interrupted the meeting, and got up to leave.

"Don't come into my room!"

ha?After Hank on the other side of the screen watched the picture of Superman go black, the next second, the scene of Superman appeared in the picture of Batman, and he was stunned.At this time, as long as the brain is still online, it can basically be judged that these two are together.

"Wait, you two won't be together now, will you? Then why do you have two scenes in the video conference with me!"

"Haha, because Batman thinks this is a bit more mysterious, let's talk about it, Hank." Superman's big face appeared in front of Batman's camera, and after saying something to Hank with a smile, he immediately turned off the video. Batman pulled the indifferent face .jpg and left the room.

Hank: Black question mark face? ? ?

Metropolis, on the Daily Planet building, Superman and Batman stood on the iconic Earth model of the Daily Planet, looking at the dimly lit sky, waiting for the dawn.

"Are you serious? I really intend to let them carry out this mission. This involves the direction of the mysterious side. I don't remember who else is an expert in this field besides Shazam and Diana. "Superman looked at the sky in the distance, and asked Batman beside him, he really couldn't accept the idea of ​​Batman.

He has no objection to creating a small team to act covertly, but he can't arrange such a big job for a group of teenagers with an average age of 18. The cases related to the mysterious side even their own gangsters Everyone feels a headache, why should a group of children carry it, Zhenglian is not empty.

"We have no choice, Clark, our adversaries can use a lot of resources to limit us, financial resources, personal connections, and even their resources in the universe, don't take the departure of Hal, Arthur and Diana as a coincidence .”

"You always think the worst about things. Maybe it's not as serious as you think, Bruce." Superman sighed.

"But there may be, Clark. But if we have a plan for dealing with the worst situation, we can deal with everything. Something has to be done. I will go to Nasino in these two days. Don't worry, I won't Force them to carry out this task."

"Don't say such words to comfort me, Bruce, we have been together for two years, you and I know each other well. You don't force it, but you always have a way to make them agree. When I was arrested and sent to Apocalypse, you You didn’t even do anything, and I’m different, so you took care of me?” As a person who has been there, Superman took a look at Batman, and having been educated countless times, he was fully aware of Batman’s tricks, and said helplessly, “I personally don’t care about this matter. I will say more, but I will make it clear to the rest of the league that the Justice League is not the decision of the two of us, and other people also need to know this decision."

"I know that. I don't need you to tell me. I will ask Victor to call other people for this meeting."

"By the way, have you ever thought about giving this team a name? You know, they can't be called the code name of the Secret Operations Team, but then again, what should be called, Super Marines? Boys? Bats Xia, what do you think?"

Instead of continuing to entangle with Batman on this topic, Superman began to think about the team name there, and asked Batman to give advice.

"...Just call me an outsider, don't make so many bells and whistles."

"OK, you have the final say." Superman shrugged his shoulders. His nickname was not as simple and rude as Batman. One word summed up the meaning of this team.At this time, the sun has risen in the sky, and the warm sunlight is projected along the sky toward the metropolis, the city of tomorrow, bringing warmth to this city that has a little bit of twilight because of the cold, and Superman He also sent an invitation to Batman: "It's dawn, do you want to have breakfast together, Louise's craftsmanship is good, Batman, Batman?"

Unable to hear Batman's voice, he turned his head, and Superman realized that he was the only one left on the rooftop, and Batman had disappeared.Turning his head again, a bat-fighter had already risen into the sky and left the metropolis. Looking at this familiar scene, Superman also sighed helplessly.

"Oh, it really hasn't changed at all~"
