The Death Knell

"It's raining and there's a power outage."

Wonder Girl said this. Although she has night vision, the power outage has no effect on her, but the rest of the team still relies on night lighting.

Jie Yin and his team who went out to investigate the case were actually the first to discover this. At least the garage with the open door was more ventilated and breathable than the Hall of Justice. When the unique smell of rainwater with moisture penetrated into their nostrils, they did not notice it at first. Didn't take it seriously.

Because the town of Belfast is also located in a mountainous area, even the road surface has undulations visible to the naked eye. In several states close to the east coast of the United States, rain in mountainous areas is very common.

But soon, as the rain fell, the whole town fell into darkness. The street lights that were still working diligently were all extinguished at the same time. The lights in the garage that illuminated the poems on the floor also disappeared, leaving only The faint floating starlight.

"I'm going to see if the transformer is short-circuited because of the rain." This is a relatively common problem, but generally it occurs in stormy weather. This kind of drizzle is unlikely to cause problems with the transformer.

But Jie Yin couldn't waste much time just to take a look.

Electric light wrapped around his body, illuminating the garage for a moment, and the next second he was back where he was, without even getting wet from the rain.

The old man took a deep breath, then shook his head and explained to everyone:

"I went to check the transformer station outside the town, and there was no problem. I also ran along the high-voltage lines to the power plant, and found that all the equipment there was also shut down, and everything I passed on the road was dark."

"So is it a large-scale blackout? How big is the scope? The entire state? Or the entire East Coast?" The detective wearing a gas mask asked. The last major blackout on the East Coast was because of the typhoon that landed in Florida, but this is There is precedent.

"Okay, I'll make another trip to see how big the blackout is." Jie Yin rubbed his old waist. He had old injuries there, and steel nails were still fixed on his spine. If he ran too fast, It's a big burden on him.

The old superheroes basically have similar problems. The medical conditions back then were not as good as they are now. Even if there are super doctors like Midnight Doctor in the team, sometimes it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Many people can save their lives when they retire, even if they are highly skilled doctors, leaving some sequelae is normal.

So in theory, Jie Yin is still one of the fastest people on the planet, but his physical and mental conditions may not allow him to sustain it for a few more years.

As the only old man in the Justice Society who can go out to work now, what he wants to do now is to train a successor. Unfortunately, the Justice Society is still a bit in the dark, because now is the era of the Justice League, and a remnant of the old era like him is a bit like Not on that big ship.

This time he left for a little longer, and only returned after about five seconds. He even took a few deep breaths after running back, then took the beef jerky handed to him by Xuanfeng and started chewing it.

As mentioned before, Hayate's grandmother is the first-generation Red Dragon Roll. Her family's beef jerky is also very delicious, and the girl always brings some with her when she goes on a mission.

Although most of these things went into the bellies of the two speedsters in the team, because Tornado herself needed to stay in shape and she was on a diet.

"I've seen it. This time it may be a global power outage. Although I don't know if the Justice League outpost in space has also lost its energy supply, but I feel that this may be a precursor to something big happening."

He took a trip around the world, but did not go to the Hall of Justice, because after all, the Justice Society was his team.

"Here we go again, our earth is really in trouble." Star Chaser Girl quickly hugged her star staff and touched it. After finding that it still had not lost its energy supply, she felt relieved: "The universe is not bad, it seems. The energy it uses is different, should we contact the Justice League first now?"

She is the youngest child in the team, younger than the average age of the Titans team. Even if we really count, she will be two years younger than Emiko when she joins the Teen Titans.

Children of this age grew up under the protection of the Justice League. When they encounter small problems, they will try to solve them on their own. When encountering big problems, their first reaction is to ask the Justice League to deal with them.

There is no way, who told Zhenglian to give people the impression of being reliable and authoritative?

"It's useless. The Big Three are all gone. The rest are all alcoholic. Only Ron is left."

The gas mask detective shook his head, and his hoarse voice came from under the mask:

"Currently we know that the enemies we face may be aliens in the name of gods, 'under the wings of Jin Shena'... We cannot rule out the suspicion of the Senagon people for the time being, and naturally the Martians are also Not that reliable.”

In Justice League, Hawkgirl is inextricably linked to Senagon, and she is a being that can be reincarnated repeatedly. She is Ron's girlfriend, and now the Martians are also suspected.

"I don't agree with Sandy's statement, because I dare not speak to other Senagan people, but Eagle Girl was once a teammate of our club, and everyone should believe her. She is still taking care of her children at home, which shows that she knows nothing. "

Karen is still holding her arms around her waist, and her tight white uniform always looks very tight:

"Man, I know you detectives always like to doubt everyone, but I still believe in my sister."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, Wonder Woman."

Sandy, the fourth generation Sandman, shook his head. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. After finding that it could not be turned on, he could only take out a pen and paper and use the starlight emitted by the star staff to record the words on the garage floor for future study:

"But I support Star Chaser's suggestion. Maybe it would be a good choice to join forces with the Justice League. At least the Wildcats are still in the lobby."

Not every detective can have a photographic memory and ensure that his memory is correct, at least not him. As an ordinary person, he can only use a bad pen to replace a good memory. This is probably the gap between him and Batman.

"Okay, the old man said this is a global power outage, so let's find a place to take shelter from the rain first. This town feels very strange to me."

Tornado, who had been paddling from the beginning, approached her teammates with a crooked mouth. There was a power problem and her mobile phone couldn't be used, so this hippie girl felt a little bored:

"Especially with so many bodies in town..."

She originally pointed back at the people who died tragically on the road outside, corpses without skulls and brains, but when everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of her finger, they happened to see these brainless corpses. Climbing slowly in the rain.

"Ah, old man, I finally saw what you said before." The detective took a breath. He went to touch the alien technology gun in his pocket, but found that the thing had no power, so he could only use it from the garage first. Li casually grabbed a steel pipe to defend himself: "They were really frightened."

Yes, the people who had been lying on the ground and were sure that they could no longer die stood up at this time.

The original smiling faces disappeared, and there was a look of fear on their faces. They extended their hands forward and ran towards everyone, just like a panicked crowd looking for superheroes to help them...
