Chapter 1355 It doesn't matter if you don't go, you can increase the price
In Central City, Johnny Quick, dressed in yellow, is running fast, with the afterimage of lightning elusive, as if he is evading pursuit.
Things started two minutes ago. Johnny Quick was practicing his superpowers in his lair. He stacked sacks of knives and challenged the limit record. He could count hundreds of millions in one minute.
The daily life of a supervillain is so boring, especially when it comes to exercising superpowers, there is absolutely no fun at all.
As soon as he counted two small targets, the door of his hometown was maliciously blasted. Johnny Quick was furious and ordered all his troops to rush out of the base, wanting to see which blind guy dared to cause trouble in his territory.
Johnny Quick has many capable young men. Among them, the three men who correspond to Wolf, Black Canary, and Green Arrow are capable men and are regarded by him as his right-hand man.
As soon as Johnny Quick went out, he saw a menacing group of people on the opposite side. Superman was leading the group, and superheroes such as Luthor, Firestorm, and Aquaman stood in two rows.
There is strength in numbers, and Johnny Quick is intimidated by just one look.
The result was pretty much what he imagined. The three younger brothers were defeated one after another, and he was chased all over the city by Superman.
It was originally possible to run away, but the battle between the two black canaries was so exciting. With their long legs and fishnet stockings, it was double that no one would be willing to change the channel.
Johnny Quick stayed and watched for a while, until the battle was over, the two Black Canaries hugged and rolled into a ball, then they clapped and cheered, and then ran away very fast.
Next to him, Superman knocked down Tyrannosaurus. I don't know if it was due to a previous grudge or some other reason. His attack was particularly ruthless. He forcibly transformed Tyrannosaurus from a carrot into a carrot, and his whole body became rounded.
Superman was always keeping an eye on Johnny Quick, and when he saw him escaping, he kicked the wolf one last time and started a two-person sightseeing tour of Central City.
Fast forward version.
In the shadows, Batman, who had never appeared, narrowed his eyes and controlled the computer to capture the location of Johnny Quick, while doing some tricks to prevent him from contacting the members of the Criminal Syndicate.
Johnny Quick was completely unaware of this. He chased and escaped with Superman, ducked and hid on the green belt lawn, and contacted Night Owl through the communicator.
Not in the service area!
In desperation, he had no choice but to contact Supermaster and Super Queen, but still no one answered. He was unable to struggle in the predicament, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Taking a chance, he dialed the last number, beeped twice, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the call got through.
"This is the hotline for hell. If you hang up now, you can still be saved. If you don't listen to the good people and continue to bastardize, I will definitely drag you to hell."
"Russell, stop it, it's me, Johnny Quick."
"I'm not messing around. If I say anything, I will really drag you to hell."
"I know, but if you don't come to save me, I will report to hell myself without you taking any action."
"It's such a good thing. What's going on over there?"
"..."
Johnny Quick quickly talked about the unfortunate events of the past two days. Since Luthor brought the Justice League from the parallel universe, this was the second time he had been attacked.
It was okay the first time. The Justice League people ran away after the fight. He only lost a batch of goods, so it was not a serious injury.
This time I couldn't bear it anymore. If last time it was children playing house, this time it was a terrorist attack. The style of the painting had changed.
"Russell, although we haven't been together for long, I recognized you as a brother when I first saw you. I was the only one who expressed support for you at the meeting..."
"Not really, the Super Queen openly supports me."
"It's different. That bitch thinks you're handsome and wants to sleep with you. Her motives are not pure."
"That's true."
"Anyway, when I was attacked, the first thing I thought of was you. I was too lazy to call Superpower, Night Owl, and the others, knowing that they would definitely not come. You are different, right?"
"Uh, this..."
"There are beauties fighting here. Not only are they beautiful, but their legs are also very long. The most important thing is that they look exactly the same."
"It goes without saying, brother, if I don't help you, who will help you? Just hold on, I'll be there soon."
"Dududu..."
Listening to the blind tone of hanging up the phone, Johnny Quick wiped his sweat and thought to himself that he was safe now.
Battle plan: grass, wait, sacrifice, run away.
As long as he persists until Russell arrives, he can use his good brother as a shield to buy himself a way out.
Johnny Quick never doubted whether he could escape smoothly, because he could run faster than Russell.
Buzz buzz!!
The air buzzed and trembled, and the hot red light swept across. Johnny Quick cursed secretly for his bad luck, raised his legs and...
He stumbled over his left foot and fell over his right foot.
…
Bang!
Superman threw the bruised Johnny Quick to the ground and said to Batman: "Who should we go to next, Speedmaster or Night Owl?"
"Superpower!"
As Batman spoke, he controlled the computer with a cold face. He quickly connected to Johnny Quick's communicator and successfully obtained the previous call records.
…
Two hours later, Superman threw the bruised and swollen Speedmaster in front of Batman with a bang, and subconsciously raised his pectoralis major muscles, indicating that this Speedmaster looked powerful but was actually weak.
In the Criminal Syndicate, Speedmaster is the strongest on his own, but once he possesses his weakness, blue kryptonite, he immediately changes from the strongest to the weakest.
"Three have been captured, and now only Night Owl and the mysterious Russell are left. What should we do next?"
Superman raised questions. He still didn't know Batman's plan. He tried: "If it's a hostage exchange, I don't think villains like the Criminal Syndicate would care about their teammates."
Batman said nothing and controlled the computer to contact Russell.
In video calls, there is no idea of letting Superman and other tool men communicate and continue to hide behind the scenes.
When he got the ghost card, he knew very well that the other person might not be a clown, but he wanted to meet him by name and there was nothing to hide.
The dark screen lit up, and the hearty smiling face of Jackie the Clown filled the entire screen. Looking closely at this pale face with a huge contrast between makeup and temperament, I felt cold all over my body, and it was indescribably oozing.
Batman has long been used to it and said directly: "No need to act, you are not a clown. Let the person behind you talk to me."
"No, I am a clown, the real deal."
"I testify that he is indeed a clown...Jackie, you..."
Luther took a step forward and looked at his friend who had come back from the dead on the screen. He didn't know what to say for a long time.
Snapped!
In the picture, a hand stretched out from the darkness and pushed away Jackie's smiling face. As the screen shook, it was replaced by Russell himself.
"..."
After a long silence, Russell began to doze off in the picture, and then Batman slowly spoke: "What do you want?"
"I want to take a nap first, that's all, and we'll talk later."
"Dududu..."
Batman:(?_?)
In all the years of being a superhero, he has never seen a more sloppy villain than Russell. He waited for half an hour and dialed again.
"Super King, Super Queen, and Johnny Quick are all in my hands, and we can exchange hostages."
Without waiting for Russell to speak, Batman proposed negotiations and sent a document, which contained photos of Speedmaster and others being captured. The Queen was easy to identify, but Speedmaster and Johnny Quick had a little more trouble because their faces were very swollen.
"Who are you trying to scare? You're not the only one with photos."
Russell pouted, shook his hand, and sent over two sets of Bruce's collections, the Platinum VIP membership version, without Holy Light, one set was worth 998, and the two sets were priced at 2,000 after discount.
"..."xn
Opening the two photo albums, Batman's eyelids twitched wildly, and his mentality collapsed to the point where he couldn't speak.
The members of the Justice League next to them had rich expressions, frightened by Batman's intimidation. They were whistling and looking to the side, not afraid of death, and occasionally taking a sneak peek.
"Sorry, I sent it by mistake. That was my favorite work just now. It was played by Bruce Wayne from another parallel universe. Just have fun with it, don't take it seriously."
Russell apologized without sincerity and resent the photo of the four Wonder Women hanging upside down.
There was another moment of silence, but the difference was that Batman breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the Justice League were more or less disappointed.
"When will the hostages be exchanged?"
"What, are you kidding me?"
Russell shook his head repeatedly: "Supermaster, Super Queen, Johnny Quick, you only have three people over there, but I have four here, maybe five next year, or even more. We can't do business at a loss."
"Superpower and others' subordinates are also here. The total number exceeds ten. If you exchange more for less, you won't suffer any loss."
"So there is still such a saying. I thought you would say that because of the super queen, the number of people on your side will increase next year."
Russell chuckled. Seeing Batman's expressionless face, he secretly murmured boredly and made it clear: "To tell you the truth, I am not going to exchange hostages. If you want me to let it go, it's easy to just send Speedmaster and their heads over. If you think the conditions are too high,
It’s harsh and I can’t do it, but it doesn’t matter, I can increase the price.”
"We need time to discuss it."
Batman replied coldly and ended the video call before Russell could speak.
"I said, he will not agree to exchange hostages."
Superman frowned and made a sound. Judging from the tone, he seemed to be showing off his intelligence and asking for praise.
Batman pretended not to hear and opened the video communication again, this time contacting another person.
The screen lit up, showing the gloomy face of Ye Xiao. He didn't know it, but thought that the whole world owed him money that he hadn't repaid.
"I thought you would come to me, but I didn't expect it was just a phone call."
"I looked for it, but couldn't find it."
"Hey, did you find it? Why didn't I know?"
A boy scout came into the dialogue with Laryngeal Cancer, and the two of them ignored it completely and continued the conversation.
Batman sent four files, a recording of the call between Russell and Johnny Quick, photos of the four captured Wonder Women, photos of Speedmaster and others being captured, and video records of him and Russell.
"..."
After waiting for a long time and confirming that Night Owl had seen enough, Batman slowly spoke: "The new members of the Criminal Syndicate are very ambitious. The people who captured me didn't notify you. They just ignored Johnny Quick's call for help.
They refused to exchange hostages and asked for your heads by name."
"So, you want to join forces with me to get rid of him?"
Ye Xiao responded coldly: "If there is no other reason, I can only refuse you."
"You have agreed."
Batman's voice was even colder: "I don't know your purpose of creating a quantum bomb, but I know one thing. Before the final result appears, you need stable order for the smooth implementation of the plan. Russell interfered with the order and disrupted your plan.
.”
"The Justice League also disrupted order!"
"Yes, but before that, you should remove the biggest instability factors."
Batman promised: "After the matter is completed, we will withdraw from the current universe. You can continue to plan. I guarantee that the Justice League will never meddle in others' affairs."
"Yes, time and place."
"The location is my current location. You should have found it. The sooner the better."
"..."
The screen went dark, Batman turned off the computer, closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of the night owl.
"Uh, is this cooperation?"
Superman cautiously stepped forward, as the elected representative of the tool people, and asked Batman what his next plan was.
"We have initially established cooperation. When Night Owl arrives, we will release Speedmaster and the others to show our sincerity..."
Batman paused and continued: "Don't trust them easily. They only cooperated briefly with Russell as the target. After rescuing Wonder Woman, we will eliminate them when we have the chance. There is no chance to evacuate immediately."
"That……"
"There is no third plan. I don't trust Ye Xiao, and he doesn't trust me either."
Batman glanced at Superman: "He didn't ask me where the quantum starter was. He must have prepared a response plan. Be careful not to turn your back to him when rescuing people."
