The Death Knell

"Hey, this isn't..."

Bobo was startled by the sudden appearance of the creature outside the door, but after recognizing the other person, he stepped back from between the legs of everyone and whispered to the death knell.

Su Ming put down Bobo. This thing was crawling on people like a fur coat. It was too hot. Besides, he knew the creature outside the door: "It's a blue cat and a red lantern demon. Don't you all know it?" What?"

The blue cat outside the door raised its head. Its face was full of vigilance. The hairs on its tail stood up. It took a few steps back and returned to the corridor. It let out a low roar in its throat:

"Meow! I should be the one shocked, right? The Justice League suddenly ran into my base, do you want to fight?!"

When it came to the Justice League, Diana knew that the cat had only noticed herself and Barry. She walked to the door and squatted down: "Lingxing, we are not here to fight you. We are looking for a way to save the universe. What are you doing?" Will you be here?"

Although Diana likes to fight and never refuses a challenge, she is a cat lover and is reluctant to kill even a big cat like Leopard Girl, let alone this cute little blue cat.

Dexter, a Russian blue cat from Earth, was once adopted by an old woman. One person and one cat lived an ordinary and happy life in Gotham.

But everything changed one night. A robber broke into their home, stole a few dollars and killed the old woman. From then on, Lingxing lived on the streets.

The long wandering life left him hungry, cold, and scarred until he was caught by a few hooligans for fun and thrown off the bridge.

A blazing fire of anger lit up in its heart. It hated itself for being just a cat, and it wanted power.

At this time, a red ring flew towards it.

"Intelligent life has been locked. The spiritual star from the earth in sector 2814, your heart is filled with rage. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps!"

Rage replaced its heart, and the hot hatred gathered into boiling blood. It flew up and spit out hot blood in the form of energy, burning all its enemies into roasted meat.

It then ate them, reported to the blood pool of Ismot, and became the pet of the lamp leader Atrocitas.

But it never gave up on finding the old woman's murderer.

So every time the Red Lantern Corps comes to Earth to cause trouble for Hal, it will basically be there.

It does not participate in the battle, but sneaks away to look for clues. This also causes many people to be unclear about its strength and think it is purely a mascot. They don't even know that it can talk.

Atrocitus didn't notice anything was wrong. After all, isn't it normal for cats to wander away from home?

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Spirit Star ranks among the top three in the Red Lantern Corps, second only to Atrocitus and Blitz. Although its small size makes it look less threatening, it is the only one that can use Reason restrains the bloodthirsty and furious red lantern demon.

Anger often consumes the red lantern demons themselves, causing them to completely lose their minds. They need to bathe in the blood pool of Ismot and drink the blood. Only when they are full can they regain their sanity.

As a cat, Lingxing doesn't like swimming, and the prerequisite for not going to the blood pool is not to lose his mind, so he has it under control. He only needs to vent in battles occasionally, and he can sleep peacefully in the sun. This is No other red light can compare.

When fighting, the Red Lantern Corps usually swarm forward, screaming and vomiting blood while beating their opponents wildly, exchanging wounds for wounds and lives for lives.

But Lingxing is very calm when fighting. It maintains the hunting instinct of cats. It knows to wait for the opportunity and then suddenly explode.

At the same time, its experience as a pet made it good at being cute and negotiating terms. Its results in negotiating terms even saved Atrocitus's life more than once. Except for Atrocitas, no one in the lantern group knew about the spirit. Stars can talk and are one of the Red Lantern Corps' trump cards.

Seeing Diana standing at the door, Lingxing wrapped herself in red energy and slowly rose into the sky, flying at the same height as her face:

"Meow meow, the Justice League has tricked us all. There are so many members of the Lantern Corps fighting for the world at the crack in the Origin Wall, with countless sacrifices, but what? Did you know this when you made stupid attempts to repair the crack in the Origin Wall? Shall we? Just thinking about this makes me so angry that I want to eat that fool of yours called Star Man."

Diana was a little embarrassed. It was actually Star Man who suggested using Hawkgirl and N-Metal to plug the gap, so everyone was stuck in the grief of Hawkgirl's sacrifice. Diana didn't pay attention to too many details, and Batman wasn't around at that time.

But the repair was not successful. The Origin Wall exploded, and the fluctuation caused by Peppertua wiped out all the New Gods and caused heavy losses to several major lamp groups. As a result, the Justice League lost almost all its allies in the main world. , and finally, at the suggestion of Deathstroke, restarted the Hall of Justice and sought help from the heroes of the parallel world.

"I'm sorry, Lingxing, we didn't want it either. The origin wall explosion was just an accident. We underestimated the enemy too much at that time." Diana slowly stretched out her hand to show no hostility and touched the cat's head.

Lingxing squatted down in mid-air. It licked its paws and wiped the place where Diana had touched just now, as if it disliked her.

"The Red Lantern Corps withdrew Ismot, and we lost some men. However, due to the anger of many people towards you, we received more recruits, haha, so there is no need to say sorry to me, to those who died. Man, tell me, if you can find the cosmic dust they turned into.”

Barry and Diana were silent for a moment, and they were rendered speechless by a cat. Maybe those people would not have died, just because the Justice League launched their plan in a hurry.

Harley discovered something. She poked her head out of the door frame to look at the spirit star and said, "But it sounds like you don't care about their life or death. You are avoiding the question. Xiao Dai is asking why you are here."

A smile appeared on the cat's face, its mouth opened wide, revealing sharp teeth: "The Lantern Corps is a space army with different colors. Death is always with us. I don't pay attention to the death of members, but I don't It doesn't mean I won't be angry about it. But since you are an old acquaintance of Gotham, I can tell you that this is the Zamaron people's space research station No. 88Z. It was originally used to study breaches in the Origin Wall, but The aftermath of the explosion pushed it here and turned it into floating space debris."

Harley didn't listen to Lingxing's complaint. She tilted her head and looked at the ceiling, rubbing her chin a few times with her little hand: "The Zamaron people... they feel a bit familiar, but I can't remember them.

Barry lowered his voice and secretly said to Harley: "Hal's ex-girlfriend, Carol Ferris, also known as Star Orchid, is the queen of Zamaron. The headquarters of the Purple Lantern Corps is on Zamaron. Press According to the Lantern, it is in sector 2813, which can be regarded as a neighbor of the Milky Way."

"Aha! I remember, it's the Purple Lantern Corps that 'loves you enough to kill your whole family'!" Harley jumped up and clapped quickly, her eyes shining brightly, she turned to look at the back row where she had been huddled with the orangutans. Silent Deathstroke: "Do you think this is very romantic? Should I also get a purple light ring to play with, huh?"

Diana's head whipped around, looking at Deathstroke to see how he would answer.

But the black and yellow mask concealed all his expressions, and only the hoarse voice through the voice changer came: "Yandere type is not my thing."

Bobo, who was standing on the table next to him, also held a cigarette in his little black hand and nodded: "You young people, what kind of love do you think about in your mind every day? It's not that reproducing the race is not good, but now At least care about something good for our universe, right?”

Su Ming and Bobo originally chose to hide behind and listen to Diana's inquiring about information, because smart people often don't pay too much attention when talking to fools, and some key information may be revealed.

When smart people talk to each other, the game becomes more intense, and obtaining the same information is likely to involve transactions.

Even when the Justice League is in action, Batman is often invisible in the back, letting outspoken Superboy or Green Lantern talk to others while he silently eavesdrops and makes plans.

But now that Harley is causing trouble, his plan to hide his presence will not work.

Harley is good at everything, but she has a mouth.

In this case, there was no need to stay behind, he walked directly out of the room door and came to the blue cat.

The red one-eyed goggles and a pair of golden pupils looked at each other. In the cold corridor, the temperature seemed to be gradually decreasing.

As the smartest cat in the universe, Lingxing immediately discovered that Deathstroke was not the one from the main world. The person in front of him was very strong.

All the colors of the emotional spectrum can be seen in his body, and his body also contains terrifying alien energy, energy that has never been seen before, and the taste is not like human beings at all.

Deathstroke's hand moved, and the hand wearing black and yellow arm armor reached to his waist. Lingxing narrowed his eyes and became more vigilant. Although Diana said that the Justice League came here without any hostility, she knew that no matter who Deathstroke was, it was not from the Justice League.

His hand is in his pocket. Is he holding a gun? Or props like flash bombs?

However, it was not the case. Deathstroke quickly took out a piece of ham, peeled off the plastic skin, and handed it to Lingxing's mouth.

"Come on, little kitten, have something to eat and relax, I want to make a deal with you."

"How do I know if your food is poisonous?" Lingxing used to be a stray cat, so he was familiar with things like ham sausage, but he was very wary.

"With this." Su Ming raised his other hand, the armor on his knuckles faded away like liquid, and a red ring instantly lit up: "We are teammates of the same Lantern Corps."

Lingxing's cat had a surprised look on its face, but it relaxed a little. At least the fur tail with the ring on it drooped down. It stretched out its paws to take the ham sausage and held it in its arms. It took a few big bites and muttered vaguely. explain:

"It turns out that the red light ring that flew to Earth earlier is here with you. This makes sense. Where did you come from? The death knell of another world."

"Origin Universe, let's not talk about the details. I still have catnip here. Would you like a few bites?"

Su Ming took off his mask and revealed his true face. At the same time, he took out a small jar from his belt with a weird smile on his face.
