The Death Knell

"Who do you work for?"

The surrounding scenery had blurred into spots of light, and the tundra beneath her feet had turned into barren mountains. Diana frowned, thinking about the question raised by Su Ming.

On the other side of Barry, Su Ming was covering the wound on his chest, feeling really itchy during the healing process.

"The Black Hawk Squadron has helicopters, warships, robots and military satellites, and an island covered by magic; they also have secret bases distributed around the world, hundreds of elite special forces, and scientists in various professions... But they are just ordinary people, and every operation requires the dispatch of warships or aircraft, and including ammunition, fuel and aftermath costs, it costs nearly seven figures at least."

"Huh? When and where have you been?" Diana asked doubtfully, with a suspicious expression on her face.

"... Keep it secret. The problem is that your Justice League was supported by the United Nations before, and later Bruce provided financial guarantee, so you can build aircraft and space stations. So who is the financial backer of Black Hawk Squadron? Their money is Where did it come from?"

Su Ming would definitely not say that his information came from comics and immediately brought the topic back on track.

"Aren't their leaders Eagle Man and Eagle Girl? Their first life was Prince Khufu and his wife, who were very rich, right?" Barry's mind turned quickly and he immediately came up with a possibility.

Diana is also more inclined to this statement, because it is a more reasonable explanation within the legal scope.

"Prince Khufu's wealth is still in the British Museum. The reincarnation of Eagle Man and Eagle Girl is the kind of reincarnation, and they may not awaken the memories of their previous lives. Money is something that is not brought with you in life and cannot be taken away with you in death. of."

Su Ming chuckled softly. If the Black Hawk Squadron could still have some trust before, it was definitely not possible now.

"Looking at you like this, you must be aware of it?" Diana asked him back. Even through the mask, she could feel the proud expression on Su Ming's face.

She still prefers Bruce's way of telling information plainly, while Deathstroke's way of telling information is full of questions, like guessing riddles.

Su Ming was of course aware of her emotions. He originally wanted to cultivate her and Barry's ability to think alone, which was a good deed, but he didn't expect that others would not appreciate it. It's really something that good people can't do.

Let's keep accounts, how much should we charge for information fees...

"Behind the Black Hawk Squadron is the Eternal Parliament. They are a group of immortal ancient spellcasters, all immortals." Su Ming curled his lips and sighed: "They include Archmage Morgan, Archmage Old Shazam, Father Time, Director of the Shadow Bureau, Isis, the Egyptian goddess, Yrel, the angel of God, etc.”

Barry's face wrinkled up and the corners of his mouth pursed tightly: "It doesn't sound very reliable. Even mages are not very reliable, right?"

"Huh...it seems like Constantine has tricked you a lot in the past." Su Ming shook his head and corrected Barry: "Most mages are reliable, except Constantine...before The position of the Eternal Parliament is quite reliable, but didn’t you realize that Constantine’s House of Mystery Array didn’t call them? The Eternal Parliament is obviously the strongest mage group on earth.”

"What do you mean?" Diana seemed to understand something.

"Yes, even he has noticed it a long time ago. He knows that those people cannot believe it. The Eternal Parliament has always thought that it is powerful, but when the dark power of Barbatos in the multiverse surges across the world like a tsunami, their eternal life brought them Their self-confidence made them feel that since they couldn't resist, then the rest of the planet must also be unable to resist... So they surrendered, and now they are all traitors."

Su Ming said calmly, and the other two couldn't see his expression through the mask, but his tone didn't sound too good.

"Why?" Diana clenched her fists. She wanted to beat these bastards now. They really surrendered without a fight: "The earth has faced crises countless times, and they have not even appeared."

"That's because they have a new Immortal leader, Vandal Savage. He is an old acquaintance of yours."

Just hearing the name made both Diana and Barry look disgusted.

Savage is an old rival of the Justice League. He has been exposed to meteorite radiation since the Stone Age and has an infinite lifespan. He has extraordinary intelligence and scheming, and has accumulated countless wealth through various evil means. He has been a serial killer, joined the Communist Party, committed mass murders, and incited racism and military coups around the world. In short, he is crazy about amassing money and developing military strength.

His ambition is to rule the world and become the master of the world, and he will do anything to achieve his goal.

"Damn, what are they thinking in their minds? How could such a villain join?" If the three of them were not in the Speed ​​Force now, Diana would definitely crush the ground under her feet.

Su Ming understood that a group of undead monsters squatted in a small dark room for meetings every day. Their lives were too long, and their concepts of evil and justice had long been blurred.

"The Eternal Parliament is not the Justice League. They have only one criterion for membership, which is that members must be immortal. Savage perfectly meets this condition. He can even be said to be the longest living person in the world."

"...Does the Black Hawk Squadron know these things?" Barry acted very calmly at this time. He already knew that since Deathstroke had told this matter, it meant that he had already planned to go to Black Hawk Island. , the deciding factor lies in whether the Black Hawk Squadron cooperates. If they are completely controlled by the Eternal Parliament, then it is very likely that several of them will fight.

"The good news is that they don't know anything. The Eternal Parliament and the Black Hawk Squadron have a single line of contact. Currently, the only person with knowledge is their leader, this generation of Hawkgirl Kendra, but she should be meeting with the Eternal Parliament in Antarctica now, haha .”

Su Ming answered this question with a sarcastic tone. The group of people in the Eternal Parliament were completely deceived. They wanted to continue to live forever and fell directly into Barbatos' trap.

"It's really ironic. The Eternal Parliament doesn't deserve the power." Diana was too lazy to say anything. She bit her lip and sighed.

"The intimidation of Barbatos has forced these people into desperation. They think that they are choosing to compromise for the sake of the world, and that surrendering can save the earth. But can what Barbatos promised be taken seriously?"

Barry shook his head. Those people really went back to life as time went by. It would be wrong to say they were innocent and naive. To be precise, they were just afraid of death.

Su Ming patted Barry's shoulder hard and comforted him. He also wanted to rub Diana's head, but was stopped by her eyes.

"Anyway, the action may not be completely quiet. Once action is needed, you two have to stand by my side. I have explained the reasons."

"Of course, I trust you." Barry replied immediately, showing a hearty smile. In previous battles, he had become accustomed to trusting Deathstroke's decision-making.

Su Ming looked over Barry's nose to Diana, and Diana nodded without hesitation. She would never compromise with the enemy, and the person who surrendered now was her enemy.

"Very well, our target is the spaceship located in the secret underground hangar of Black Hawk Island. It is the Dome used by the 'Monitor' to travel through the multiverse. The central computer of that spacecraft contains information about almost all locations in the Dark Multiverse. Coordinates, we need to obtain that information.”

Seeing her nodding, Su Ming could take action boldly. As for dealing with possible guards, they were ordinary people and didn't even require any tactical arrangements.

"Huh? Don't you need that spaceship? The Dome is originally used to travel through the dimensions of the multiverse, right?" Diana looked at her feet. The three of them were now on the sea.

"The Dome is now the property of the Eternal Parliament. After these people surrendered, Barbatos already knew about the existence of the Dome. If we drive the Dome to the center of the Dark Multiverse, we will be a living target in the darkness. We must Use other methods.”

Su Ming immediately rejected this choice. In the comics, Zhenglian and several people boarded the Qiongji, and were blocked by the Dark Knights. They escaped by relying on Cyborg's sonic blast channel.

Now the plot has changed. Su Ming does not have a steel frame here. If he is caught in the cracks between the universe, he will have no way to go to heaven.

"It makes sense, so what should we do? We have to go to get the coordinates, right?" Barry nodded. It was indeed what Deathstroke said. A space battleship like the Dome is too conspicuous.

Su Ming didn't answer, just looked at him through the blood-red eyepiece on the mask.

Barry: "???"

Deathstroke's silence made Barry feel uncomfortable all over, and he couldn't help but slow down his pace. He turned to look at Diana and found that she was also looking at him with deep meaning in her eyes.

Barry: "???"

Diana's eyes became sharp, as if she meant something: "Stare..."

"Uh... is it me again..."

Barry smiled bitterly, he already understood the next plan.
