The Death Knell

"After all, I returned to Earth 0 and walked around, and I didn't find anything major other than post-disaster reconstruction." Superboy grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped his hands, then sat on the haystack behind him and picked up a beer: "So I feel like it's more rewarding to build tractors for my family, even though it's just a little bit like my home."

The lights in the barn were not bright, and the air was filled with the dust of dried straw. Superboy was also wearing country clothes similar to Clark's, which made him look more down-to-earth.

"Yes, the Hall of Justice has not contacted me so far. If anything happens, Oliver will definitely tell me." Superman also came over with a bottle of beer, and he sat down cross-legged on the ground. He seemed a little puzzled: "It's true that you have been busy during this time. I don't know what you are busy with."

He said this out of pure concern, he wanted to help with anything.

"It's not that big things didn't happen, but what happened is that you can't help in the magic world." As the orangutan spoke, he took a sip of wine and raised his hand to wipe his mouth: "There are no parasitic mushrooms in the Kansas countryside. Of course you don’t know that we went to the Corrupt Kingdom, defeated Anton, the spokesperson of the Corrupt Black, and then ran around to recruit helpers.”

"mushroom?"

Superman looked at Supreme, who shrugged and said he didn't know, that thing should have happened before Deathstroke found him.

Su Ming took out a bottle of wine from his pocket, opened it and drank it: "What Bobo means is that some things happen in the dark, and you can't see them. Now when the Justice League is taking a break, the Laughing Bat... I’m not necessarily resting. The Upside Down betrayed me, and I’m afraid something will happen to the magic world.”

"Then let's assemble the Justice League now." Superman stood up, raising his chin slightly, assuming the standard posture of a superhero looking into the distance even unintentionally: "Batman is not here, since you judge that playful If the lunatic is planning some evil plan, then our vacation should be cancelled."

The tractor can be repaired at any time, but if the laughing madman does something, it will probably be difficult to fix. Today's earth has just barely gotten back on track and cannot stand another global crisis.

Superboy-Prime had a different view. He bent down and put his elbows on his knees. He rubbed the beer bottle between his hands and let his long flowing hair hang down:

"Don't make a hasty decision, Superman, Deathstroke means that there are no clues about either of those, and it's not time to assemble the troops yet."

Su Ming nodded. This was correct. The Laughing Bat was hidden somewhere, and the Upside Down Man was nowhere to be found: "Correct, the current spread of manpower has expanded the scope of surveillance. If everyone If we gather them at the Hall of Justice, then all cities except Washington DC will no longer be fortified. I might as well inform you and ask you to be alert when you sleep, and report it immediately when you see wild laughter."

Clark thought for a moment, then squatted down again and put his palms on the tires of the tractor: "Then what do you think the Laughing Bat is doing? Just take a guess."

"Although he is crazy, he is still Batman. Who do you think can guess what Batman is thinking? That is still a crazy 'special model'." Deathstroke denied this assumption and poured a sip of wine into his mouth: " The only thing I can be sure of is that Gotham also has extraordinary significance to him. It may be the final battlefield, but before the final battle comes, I have no idea where he will go and what he will prepare. A clue."

In fact, he has some ideas, but there is no need to say it. It is useless to talk to the two supermen. Moreover, if they know too much, they will act spontaneously, disrupt the plan, and become bad tools.

"...Gotham, Bruce probably doesn't want us to interfere, but at this time, we can't let him have his way." Superman also sighed, suddenly feeling that he had nothing to do. , a little confused for a moment.

Deathstroke put out the cigarette butt and put it away, then took a puff of smoke and said, "You should solve the problem at home first. Xiaoke will come with me later to find some clues."

"Okay, I just have to do something. By the way, what do you think I should do to wash away the bad reputation of the past?" Superboy rubbed his hands happily, pursed his lips, and raised his eyebrows high.

"Simple, I'll notify Channel 52 and ask them to send an anchor to follow us and film a documentary. You just have to act well." Su Ming put his hand on Superboy's shoulder, squeezed it hard, and said seriously: " When I ask you to return to Earth 0, you will come to Clark first. Have you learned the tone and expression of a hero now?"

"There is nothing we can't learn. We are almost the same person. I know I need to control my temper. Anyway, I will listen to you when the time comes." Supreme Chao is also a bachelor. He smiled and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't want to use his brain.

It is said that every experience makes him wiser. Those past experiences made him understand that he was really not the type to use his brain. Being trapped in the wall of origin and being an audience for so long had even softened his temper.

In this way, he appears to be quite mature.

"Oh, it's wrong to help others with the mentality of performing. As a superhero, you shouldn't ask for anything in return..."

Just when Clark expressed his disapproval and muttered something, the homemade ringtone of a cell phone suddenly came from the barn. Just by hearing the song, you knew whose cell phone it was.

"Little Harley, so cute, the most beautiful girl in Gotham..."

Everyone heard such shameful lyrics, but Harley's expression remained normal. She took out the rhinestone-encrusted flip phone from her jacket and opened it with a snap:

"Hello, the doctor sister is here! Hee hee!"

"..." What was said on the other side was too far away to be heard clearly, but Harley's smile dropped, and she threw the phone at Deathstroke: "Damian is looking for you, and that damn kid said I am an aunt, am I that old?"

Bobo, who was asked by her, looked away and muttered in a low voice: "It's just that he's not young anyway."

But the next second, he was caught by Harley, twisting his ears like clockwork, and the screams of the beast echoed in the barn.

"Damian?" Su Ming never paid attention to the actions of teammates to enhance feelings. He just put the phone to his ear: "Why don't you rest so late? You are still growing up, so it is best not to stay up late. .”

In Ventari, Damian, who was holding a communicator, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart after hearing Deathstroke's words.

‘Sure enough, no matter how well Deathstroke hides it, he still can’t hide his concern for me. Batman, my adoptive father, only sees me as a tool to fight crime. When has he ever cared about my body? ’

However, the smile at the corner of his mouth only appeared for a moment, and then his strong willpower made him change back to his poker face, and his voice became extremely calm.

"Something happened in Gotham. Can you come? Clayface and I are in the observation deck on the top of Wayne Tower."

"We're here, let's talk."

The voice came from behind, and Robin, who was looking at the rain outside the window, suddenly felt the warmth of a father, as if he had found a solid support.

He turned around slowly, and sure enough he saw the red light like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the darkness.
