What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 242 The number of people I trust is...0
The mechanical superman squatted on the top of the building, silently talking to the voice ringing in his ears.

"Your name is Meditation Mite?"

An intriguing look flashed across his half-metal, half-organic face.

"Of course, of course. Batman is our enemy, but that doesn't mean we're friends."

He said: "Don't think you can threaten me by revealing my identity to Batman. Do you think he is a fool?"

But soon, he heard Meditation Mite's words, and his expression finally changed.

"and many more……"

"Can you open the channel without going through the mother box?"

He levitated and flew.

"how to prove?"

……

……

……

"We...we'll discuss this when I get back, Alfred."

Chen Tao frowned.

He said simply, and then immediately changed his itinerary, from heading to Lucius's laboratory to the Batcave.

He was keenly aware of Alfred's emotions, but such an emotional outburst was not something Alfred would do.

Hey, listen.

Maybe Chen Tao knows that his next thoughts have no basis at all, which makes people think that he is suffering from paranoia, or that he has suffered from neurasthenia due to various pressures, and his brain is already a little abnormal. .

But he still thinks so:
Someone is manipulating Alfred.

Maybe it's just a simple psychological suggestion, maybe it's just to guide the other person to see what you want to see, thereby using the other person's thoughts, guiding the other person's behavior, and then using Alfred, the person closest to him, to try to influence He - Batman.

Chen Tao didn't believe in coincidences. At the juncture of many things, Alfred suddenly and directly expressed his inner thoughts at this time. This matter itself was very suspicious.

This must be someone doing it deliberately, maybe it's just an action or a look.

This speculation has no basis, but it is an intuition and a sixth sense.

So...who could that person be?
When Chen Tao walked into the Batcave, he saw Alfred sitting alone on the seat in front of the Batcomputer, entrenched like a dying mountain in the place where it should have left long ago. superior.

Alfred looks through the photos on the Batcomputer.

On the smooth lawn, young Bruce squatted there, innocently grabbing the green grass with his palms no bigger than walnuts.

"There you are, Master Bruce."

The old man turned his head.He smiled reluctantly and closed the photo.

Chen Tao walked to him silently, carefully considering the words to speak to him.

"Alfred, I want to know why you asked me the question you asked me in the comm."

He ended up using a slightly more neutral line.This sentence can be translated as "What do I do that doesn't look like retirement?" But it can also be interpreted as "Who led you to have this idea?"

Of course Alfred automatically used the former explanation.

He talked about recent events.

"Master Dick and the Suicide Squad have been dealing with crime in Gotham recently. Penguin said that he has changed his ways and proactively provided a lot of information, which greatly increased the success rate of Master Dick and their actions."

"Mr. Freeze and Lincoln March worked together. They discovered the remnants, or 'backbone,' of the Court of Owls in Gotham. The two of them were professional counterparts in dealing with gutter rats like the Court of Owls."

Chen Tao stood next to him, listening quietly to the old man's chatter.

"Mr. Flash Barry Allen's superhero career has been very stable recently. He captured another villain called The Mist, and all of them were given to Iron Mountain Prison. I just provided Iron Mountain Prison some time ago that we are being held in the Batcave. Prisoner’s superpower suppression device.”

"Oh, by the way, there is also Billy, Billy Batson. He is now the most famous superhero in New York! He is young, but he does a great job, but sometimes he feels a little inferior."

"Wonder Woman is tangling with her old enemies, as always."

"And Supergirl. Some people also call her Supergirl. Do you know that the last time Master Dick was having trouble, Miss Kara Kent flew directly from Metropolis to Gotham to help him?"

"They are all young men with potential."

Alfred said.

"Master Bruce, I definitely don't mean to say something stupid that you can completely entrust the affairs of the Justice League to them. I still know very well that there are some matters that they simply don't have the ability to replace your existence."

Alfred's voice was sincere, with a tone of hesitation and consultation.

"I just think sometimes, Master Bruce, why can't you try to teach them, take them with you, try to let them face the crises you should face, and then..."

"Then gradually train them and find a successor among them." Chen Tao added: "When that successor can take charge of his own business, I can slowly retire and enjoy my retirement career."

"Yes, Master Bruce. But now you don't seem to have such an idea at all."

Alfred said:
"You can obviously summon Flash Barry Allen or Supergirl Kara Kent from thousands of miles away with just one phone call. At their speed, it would take less than 5 minutes to reach any corner of the earth. Or You can also bring Shazam, Billy Batson or Master Dick in advance and let them participate in what you are doing, even Miss Diana!"

There was no hint of excitement or unwillingness in the old man's words, but Chen Tao knew that he was just deliberately using the skills he had learned in his previous career as an agent to carefully control his emotions.

He didn't want his Bruce to feel apologetic about his sadness or sadness.

He did a great job.

"Okay, I will do that. I just wasn't used to it before." Chen Tao had a ashamed expression on his face, and then became a little serious:
"You're right, Alfred, you woke me up. I still refer to the past methods of solving problems and do everything by myself, lest others can't do it well, but I ignore that I still solve everything by myself, which will only hurt my teammates. Raise me up so that they will never be able to shoulder my responsibilities."

He solemnly said: "I will change my operating methods... In fact, when I established the Justice League, I took the initiative to give the position of leader to Supergirl with a similar idea, but in the end I still went alone. Solving the problem is tantamount to excluding her in a factual sense, which is indeed wrong."

Chen Tao continued to chat with Alfred as usual, and then asked a little abruptly: "Hey, Alfred, how did you think of calling me to remind me of this? ah?"

This is a question that seems harmless at first glance, but full of suspicion upon closer inspection.

Chen Tao is already trying to lower Alfred's guard as much as possible. The butler who once had a career as an agent is extremely resistant to this kind of talking skills. Once the other party detects some aura of distrust in him during the questioning, …

That would break the old butler's heart.

Chen Tao pretended not to look at the old housekeeper, but his palms were almost sweating.He is waiting for the other party's reply.

"First, Diana came to see you. It was about Leopard Girl. When you were not here, she asked why you were so busy."

Alfred said:
"Then The Flash, Barry Allen, came over and said that he felt that Reverse-Flash Swann had done something big. He could feel it from a distance through the Speed ​​Force, but he didn't know what it was. When he heard that you were not there, he left. ”

"And then there's Billy Batson...Shazam told me that his dad came back to see him after so many years...and he said that was the happiest moment he ever had."

"And Master Dick...he came to sue the new gangsters for being too gentle in their methods and unable to deter the gangs in Gotham. He said something like, 'Can those in the gangsters be called criminals?' if."

"Oh, is that so?"

Chen Tao touched his chin.

"You told me that Shazam, Billy Batson's father, is back to find his son?"

……

……

……

In a corner of a certain city, in a dark alley.

"He's the key to controlling Billy Batson, Black Adam."

The voice of Meditation Mite sounded through Dr. Sivana's voice. They stood on the street corner and watched a down-and-out middle-aged man walking by smoking a cigarette.

"Once we have Billy's dad, he will be at our disposal, including handing over his powers."

Dr. Sivana turned to look at Black Adam: "And we need your help. That's why we tried our best to help resurrect you."

Standing next to them was Black Adam.

He should have vanished into ashes, disappeared in the endless cries, been smeared by the torrent of time, and turned into the dust of history, but now he was standing here perfectly fine, with a terrible look on his face.

"Don't think that I will be grateful to you, Meditation Mite. You opened the connection between the seven magical continents. Do you really know the consequences of doing so? And you, Sivana, you are helping the evildoers. This is Very dangerous behavior. I have tolerated you for long enough, I should have separated your body and head long ago..."

"You told me you would keep our world safe, but I don't see that at all," he said.

He stretched out his hand to Dr. Sivana:

"Do you think I'm an idiot who doesn't understand magic?"

But then, a bolt of lightning penetrated Black Adam's body, causing him to let out a low scream.

"Thanks to the meditation mites, my strength has increased incredibly." Dr. Sivana turned around and looked at Black Adam, who had once made him extremely envious: "I have read every book in the eternal library. A book where I mastered every spell.”

It was only a short parting, but the person kneeling at this moment was Black Adam.

"You don't understand what Meditation Mite will do to us once he is able to reach other magical lands."

Black Adam retracted his hand, and his face became more and more gloomy. During this short exchange, he had realized that the other party was different now, and he could no longer control Dr. Sivana as easily as before.

"Oh, but he knows, my dear friend."

Wisps of colorful smoke erupted from Dr. Sivana's seven orifices, and then condensed into the illusion of Meditation Mites in the air.

After realizing that Dr. Sivana could not convince Black Adam, Meditation Mite took matters into his own hands.

"I have told him my plan. I am going to free my Monster Association from their shackles and bring the seven magic continents back under my control."

"No! Then where will my continent go?" Black Adam roared: "Your plan threatens the entire Khandak and his people!"

Black Adam once again rushed towards Dr. Sivana, but he was quickly hit by the rays ejected from the opponent's eyes and hit the wall again.

"Only if you refuse to join us." Dr. Sivana said, his voice resonating with the Meditation Mite: "We want your help, Black Adam. There is no more far-sighted military mind on this planet than you. , we admit it.”

"Hey, what's going on out there?"

A black civilian opened the door and was shocked to see three superhumans appearing at his door.

"No—" Before Black Adam could stop him, he saw Meditation Mite wave his hand, or tentacles.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of decay emerged from the civilian's face, his black hair turned white, wrinkles formed on his face, and then the whole person turned into a skeleton.

With a clang, the civilian who had turned into Mr. Skeleton lay collapsed on the ground, losing his life quickly.

The voice of Meditation Mite rang out:

"Indeed, many people will die in a war that spans the Magic Continent, and they will all be reduced to nothingness like this civilian."

Black Adam looked ugly, but he remained unmoved.

"But if you stand with us, not only will Khandak survive, but I, the Meditation Mite, will also unlock the true power of the Dark Place."

"The land of those undead liars?"

"The land of the dead. He will bring back your wife and children, or Iris and Osiris, if you prefer to call it that. We can get you back everything you ever wanted!"

Black Adam was finally moved, but he still couldn't believe it completely.

"I've tried many times myself and no one can bring them back to life," he said. "It's absolutely impossible to bring the dead back to life."

"I understand your distrust of me, great Black Adam. First, I must ask you for forgiveness for our last conversation, and second, to demonstrate my new abilities."

The voice of Meditation Mite sounded: "I sacrifice the seven deadly sins to you."

“They will fulfill all their wishes at any time and at any time.”

Black Adam turned his head and saw seven wisps of colorful smoke appearing in front of him: "It is indeed them...these monsters sealed by the wizard council - the wizard Shazam himself...you summoned them, controlled them, you How did you do it?"

"My power has become stronger, and so can yours." Meditation Mite said.

"Did I tell you that we have other allies?"
