The Death Knell

"It'll be fine in a short time. When Slade comes back, we can always rescue Jason. Tell me about Brother Eye."

After listening to Harley's analysis, Diana was slightly relieved. Although her best friend's statement had no evidence to support it, she was willing to believe Harley.

Although this little madman is always mentally disturbed most of the time, she is very reliable when it comes to key issues. Now she can only wait for Deathstroke to come back and let him use ultimate force to solve the problem.

So next, Harley simply took off all her clothes, dried her clothes naked on the shore, and at the same time shared some information with Diana and Carla.

That's what she knew about the origins of Brother Eyes and the so-called OMAC plan.

Harley is very talkative, but her thinking is very quick. She sometimes tells a story in a confused way, accompanied by laughter of unknown meaning. When she talks about excitement, she jumps around and holds her skirt with both hands. and underwear thrown around.

However, as superpowers, the two women still understood and fell into a brief thought.

The water in the underground river was very cold. The group of people escaped from the Wayne Mansion along the river. When they reappeared, they had arrived at the northeast coast of Gotham. When they stood up, they could see the layers of ruins in front of them. In the dark night, they looked like They are huge tombstones.

The evening breeze blew, and both women felt a chill rising from their backs. They didn't know whether it was because they were really intolerant of cold, or because the brothers in Harley's story were too cruel.

"What should we do next?" Kara had no idea. She found a stone on the beach and sat down, holding her face with her hands: "There is a mysterious enemy hiding in the dark, and now a crazy AI enemy has appeared. , Deathstroke is not here yet.”

"Let's contact Brother Eye and negotiate with it." The underwear wouldn't dry for a while, so Harley simply put the wrung-out red skirt on her body first, and put the remaining small clothes on the stone aside to bask in the moonlight: "Leave Brother The Batcave under Eye's control is for our safety, but now it's about the same distance, and there's still room for negotiation between us."

She was right. After all, Brother Eye hadn't started killing people yet, let alone the OMAC plan. Now there was no conflict between the two parties, and her human identity had advantages.

It’s just that Diana is an Amazon, a demigod, and Kara is a Kryptonian, that is, an alien. They are not on the list of ‘protected’ objects in the eyes of the brothers.

So if there is a negotiation, it can only be done by Harley, but she is not sure whether her own psychology will work for AI.

It was useful when facing the adjutant, but Harley never realized that the adjutant was an AI program. She looked more like a living person.

While they were talking, the personal terminal next to the three people's ears suddenly rang, and someone sent a contact message.

For a moment, Diana thought Deathstroke had finally contacted them and was preparing to come back, but before the smile appeared on her face for 0.5 seconds, the communication was automatically connected, and a pattern of red eyes was projected in front of everyone. , the electronic synthesized sound sounded again:

"Ladies, can we talk to you now? I'm not chasing you, or even showing any hostility, but I can understand your sense of precaution, and maybe we can resolve the misunderstanding now."

Harley loosened her braided hair and nodded:

"I figured you as an AI would be able to contact us, and now we can actually talk."

He asked Diana and Kara to escape from the Batcave in an emergency because he knew all the misdeeds of Brother Eye, but in the current timeline after the soft reboot of "Rebirth", Brother Eye did not do those things, so for it Said the charges were not true.

"Yes, I know you are going to mobilize the Justice League's satellite to look for something. I also want to know why the humans on Earth have become like fools. We can cooperate and find the answer together. Is this condition true?"

"Sure, you are quite smart. We do have some common interests." Harley puffed up her cheeks, spit out the gum in her mouth, and rubbed her face randomly: "But we need you to show some sincerity now and put the Bring over the wounded we left at Wayne Mansion."

If the other party can lock its own terminal and hack it to conduct remote conversations, it means that the AI ​​knows where everyone is and has not sent a lot of murderous robots over.

The projection pattern of the brother's eyes shook for a moment, and then a voice came:

"No, you need to keep hostages. To represent your sincerity, please change a condition."

"It really doesn't work, tsk! What a nasty AI. It would be great if you were as simple as an artificial intelligence coffee machine, huh."

Harry sighed after the test failed, but then cheered up and smiled again:

"Okay then, let me change the terms of cooperation. We need you to mobilize the Justice League's satellite to help us find a smelly skeleton that escaped from Wayne Mansion about ten minutes ago. He was still wearing a tuxedo and carrying a strong white man. man."

"Yes, I will provide you with information support. After completing this cooperation, we can further discuss the detailed conditions."

After saying that, the pattern of the brothers' eyes disappeared from the projection and switched to different satellite images from various parts of the earth. It seems that there are still more than a dozen Zhenglian spy satellites still in orbit and operating normally.

This number is already quite high, but not much. You must know that under normal circumstances, Superman has sent hundreds of satellites into space to form a network, not to mention the permanent space station with an observatory on the back of the moon.

The brother's eyes first switched to the satellite over Gotham, locked the location of the three women, and deliberately enlarged the screen to let them see his drowned rat appearance.

Then the camera zoomed up again and began to scan the ruins of Gotham City for skeletons, the kind that could run.

But the answer is no. There are some bones in the ruins of Gotham, but none of them can move.

So Brother Eye once again expanded the search scope and began to scan every city on the east coast of the United States that was close to Gotham. Since Wayne Mansion is located in the northeast corner of Gotham, and further northeast is New York, it focused its scanning there. .

This time there was a result. The camera suddenly zoomed in and zoomed in on a picture. However, because New York had become a "hive"-like city, the satellite perspective was not easy to use, so the brothers watched with horror. Side street surveillance.

In a cyberpunk city, there are monitors everywhere, even everyone’s terminal.

So in just a few seconds, the brothers' eyes locked on the target. It was the skeleton in a tuxedo who was playing with some fabrics in an alley, while the unconscious Milkman Superman was thrown to the ground aside, wrinkled in pain. Frowning.

"Very good, you can rest first. Let's catch that little thief. I'm going to kick his skull balls out!" Harley showed a crazy smile. She put her arms around Kara's shoulders and signaled Supergirl gives her a princess hug and takes her to heaven.
