The Death Knell

I have to say that sometimes the creatures in the sea always bring some different feelings to people on land.

When you see a starfish in a supermarket or restaurant, you may think it is just a dish; but when a large starfish walks towards you in the dark with its arms and legs standing upright, it feels a bit scary.

It's like a living thing with a salty smell and a slippery touch is attached to a person's back, sliding coldly down the spine, and will continue to go down, and it feels like it has penetrated into some hole.

Especially when this starfish was once the alien monster Talos, who ruled countless planets and was the number one enemy of the Justice League.

However, Luther was also a man who had seen strong winds and waves. When he saw Mela's current condition, he took the initiative to seek help from Talos, because it involved brainwashing, mind control, mental power, etc., ten honors The combined total is not enough to fight a starfish in Talos.

It is said that there are specializations in the industry, and Bald was a boss before. He knows that he does not need to know everything, he just needs to let the right people do what they are good at.

Although today's Canluo is just a fragment of the huge monster in the past, its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and there is no way to split into more sub-bodies to control the creatures of one or more planets.

But its ability to control a single person has not been weakened. To put it bluntly, when this starfish relies on its mind control ability to traverse the star sea, humans are probably not even single-celled organisms.

"I'm coming! I'm coming! What do you need from me?"

No matter what Luthor thinks, the starfish is happy now. It has lived in the Hall of Justice for several months. This is the first time it can go out on its own, especially to come to the Batcave to help.

Isn’t this the life of a superhero?

For this reason, it put on an elaborate Robin uniform before going out. This suit of clothing was sewn stitch by stitch by its own hands, using its arms and legs to roll up the needle and thread.

"She has been brainwashed, please help check it out." Batman said nothing nonsense and directly let Haixing take action.

He originally planned to let Can Luo be the main force, and now Luther also has the same view, which proves that this is the best choice.

Of course, this does not mean how much he trusts Can Luo. Even to this day, he is still on guard against this starfish, but this does not prevent him from using this alien creature.

"I went upstairs to see Ron, and he took away my handkerchief that Carol had given me when we first dated."

Hal on the side also raised his hands and stepped back. He said that he would not be able to help him much. Barry was a scientist after all. He had already left. He was a pilot and a stinking soldier. What was he doing here? lively?

In any case, Mela is also Arthur's wife. The process of her treatment should not be watched too much by others.

It's not appropriate after all.

"I won't watch either. Let's go together." Arthur gritted his teeth, sighed again, and put his hand on Hal's shoulder: "If she wakes up and sees me, she will go crazy again."

With that said, he dragged Hal away as if running for his life, as if he felt uncomfortable being in the same room with Mela.

Now, the Bat Cave was much quieter. After the housekeeper, who had just sent the nigger to the cold storage to settle down, came out, he said he wanted to prepare supper and black tea, and went upstairs.

Luther didn't mean to avoid it. He found a chair and sat down, and then looked at the starfish with interest. He had never seen up close how Can Luo controlled others.

The starfish didn't appear with the jar today. Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be called Jarlo, but it still listened to Batman and behaved very well.

Anyway, as soon as it finished speaking, it began to take off its clothes, rubbed its arms and legs against each other a few times, took on the posture of a human being gearing up, and shouted:

"I am coming!"

"Buji"

As such a wet and greasy sound came, the starfish that soared into the sky and stuck firmly to Mela's face. Its arms and legs firmly hugged the woman's head, and in the center of the five-pointed star-shaped body, The big ruby-like eyes flashed with a cunning light.

It started working, sorting out the memories and thoughts in Mela's mind, and analyzing those special alien energies.

"Well, no matter how many times I watch Haixing's mind control ability activated, it's still thrilling."

Luther crossed his legs and crossed his arms to chat with Batman. In the dark Batcave, his bald head was not very bright:

"I once saw a group of monsters called 'alien' in the hands of Deathstroke. Those creatures can metamorphose and develop. Among them is a larval stage called a facehugger. The process of the parasitic creature is exactly the same as this."

Regarding this secret provocation, the Dark Knight showed no emotion and just replied calmly:

"That's just because they're both soft-bodied creatures."

Yes, Batman has secretly seen Deathstroke's alien army and the Alien Queen carrying the Stitch virus. He knows more than Luthor, not less.

"Ah, okay, you really don't know how to be funny at all." The bald man spread his hands speechlessly and changed the subject: "By the way, have you seen the clown recently? I still have some accounts to settle with him. Forget it."

This account does exist, but it's a bit old. It was when the Joker quit the Legion of Doom a few months ago.

Obviously, this topic attracted Batman's attention. The Dark Knight beside the operating table turned around. The faint light of the instrument made him look like a ghost. The hoarse and sinister voice said:

"This is my Gotham, take this sentence to heart as a piece of advice."

For Batman, it's okay to tell him anything else, but it's not okay to say he wants to fight the Joker.

As for why Deathstroke from another world can run around and move freely in Gotham City? It's because that man knows not to touch the Joker, which is Batman's bottom line.

"Haha" Luther laughed with unknown meaning, as if he wanted to see this reaction from the bat. He was really a born villain.

As he spoke, Can Luo finished his work. It peeled itself off from Mela's face with a pop, and jumped to the final machine to put on clothes, leaving only the translucent mucus on the woman's face, which seemed to make her Sleep fell deeper.

"Batman, I checked. The energy is very similar to that of the little ghost we interrogated before. It must come from the same source!"

With the experience from the last time, Haixing's investigation speed is much faster this time. After all, what happens once is familiar again, that's the truth.

"We need to cure Mera." Batman looked at Luthor, then at Starfish, and added: "She is a member of the Justice League, and we must do our best to keep her alive."

This problem is a bit over the top for Haixing. He is not the kind of character who is particularly good at using his brain.
