What bad intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 254 Touching (wrong)

Chen Tao turned his face expressionlessly.

"Uh, he's Alfred."

Diana came a little closer and tilted her head to look at him with her lake-like blue eyes.

"Hmm?"

Uh, this action is really oppressive. She came up like this and undoubtedly suppressed my action space visually. This is a negotiation technique, invading other people's territory through close body language. She wants to... uh...

Chen Tao subconsciously wanted to start speculating the other party's action logic, just like he had done countless times before. Pursuing clues and calculating results, this should be his strong point.

However, he met those blue eyes, and then he couldn't guess anything.

He still maintained an expressionless posture. This is a camouflage color. Never let others realize what you are thinking. If you can't ensure that you won't reveal flaws on your face, it's better to solidify your expression.

——It should be like this.

"Take off your hood." Then he heard Diana say.

"No."

"Take it off."

"Okay."

Chen Tao took off his half-face bat mask. He was not used to exposing his true face to the air.

He did not ask Diana why she asked him to do this, and she did not mention it.

He had been wearing the mask for a while. He either did different things as Batman in different places, or synchronized with other Batmen, such as [Bat Master], and then soaked in the laboratory, doing experiments with the Flash who was foaming at the mouth and Lucius who was gradually showing signs of Mediterranean.

"That's Alfred, the old butler Alfred. Hmm."

Chen Tao began to rub the mask unconsciously, but soon he realized it himself, and then put the mask into his belt, and said:

"He is very old, and sometimes he will make mistakes.

"Hmm." Wonder Woman nodded.

However, when Chen Tao thought he had fooled him, he suddenly heard the Amazon warrior ask directly and abruptly.

"So you didn't use my photo as your computer desktop? "

Chen Tao almost couldn't hold back his expression.

"I... I took photos of everyone in the Justice League in order to make everyone's pass and enter information."

"Oh, that's it." Wonder Woman nodded.

"He must have seen me touch up stuff, so he made a mistake--"

"You touch up stuff?"

"... You're thinking wrong."

Then Diana started to giggle, and Chen Tao followed with a slight smile.

Such a little joke made the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly become harmonious as if some catalyst had been added.

"So... you're leaving for Atlantis tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, I'll probably find someone at noon."

"Well, you have to be careful. I have some connections in the government. They told me that the government's attitude towards Atlantis is still relatively... unfriendly.

I guess the Atlanteans won't be very friendly either. Paradise Island (the island where the Amazon tribe from which Wonder Woman came lived) had fought with them before. "

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

Then they found that they had nothing to say.

"So... do you have anything else to talk to me about?" Diana asked.

She turned slightly, as if she was about to walk away naturally.

She waited.

"No?"

Batman did not respond. The expressionless face that Diana was familiar with, common, consistent, and always had began to appear on his face again.

In Diana's eyes, Batman seemed to always have only two emotions, one was a crazy smile used to intimidate the enemy, and the other was an expressionless face with a heavy heart.

The shallow smile just now was like an illusion.

"Really nothing to say? Then I'm leaving."

Batman still didn't say anything, and Diana felt a little disappointed.

She turned half of her body and raised her feet a little: "Well, see you next time-"

"Uh, of course, uh."

Diana turned her head back suddenly, blinking her blue eyes: "Do you have anything else? What's the matter? "

Then there was a pause of more than 10 seconds.

"Do you want to, I don't know..."

I was really a little incoherent.

Chen Tao thought so.

He said: "I don't know, I mean. We can... We can do something else, I mean or..."

"Not to discuss things?"

"What? No, of course not. Not to discuss, nor part of any plan.

Just... do something else.

Ah, I know you will be very busy with the establishment of the Justice League. Sometimes the government will ask you for things. If you don't have time, then forget it-"

"Okay."

Chen Tao looked into her eyes.

"So. You agreed."

"Well, anything is fine."

"Oh, uh, um. Okay." Chen Tao said.

"But not now, it's not convenient now," he hesitated a little, but even at this time, the serious expression seemed to be solidified on his face, and he subconsciously turned his head: "I still have to deal with Atlantis. "

"Yes." Diana said. She suddenly realized something, so she also hurriedly turned her head like Batman.

The two looked at different places on both sides, one on the left and the other on the right, and then looked at each other with their peripheral vision.

"Ah, yes, I'm busy now."

"I know, I have things to do too."

"But maybe..."

"Yes, you see..."

"In two days?"

"In two days, okay."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye."

...

...

...

"We are looking for a white middle-aged man about 28 years old, with golden hair and golden eyes. If he has a beard, it will also be golden. Name Arthur Curry, code name: Aquaman."

Chen Tao, Supergirl Kara Kent and Superboy Connor Luthor, a total of three people, sat in a hidden tactical van.

This van looks like an ordinary car, but the interior is decorated with something else, almost like a small bat cave.

In the early days of Batman's career, Bruce Wayne once lived directly in this car, monitoring the Falcone family (the criminal group of DC villain Roman) for weeks to collect evidence that could legally send them to prison.

At this time, the three of them were sitting in a row in the car, and on the screen in front of them, Amanda Waller was introducing the situation held by the government.

"His height is about 1.9 to 2 meters. Although according to those fishermen, his height is more than 2.5 meters, after multiple verifications, we believe that it is a false rumor-"

"Arthur Curry's height is 1.93 meters." Chen Tao said.

Then he saw Amanda Waller staring at him with a look of "Why didn't you say it earlier"

"You continue."

"He is extremely dangerous. The highest record of his strength that we have observed so far is that he lifted a 160,000-ton cruise ship with his bare hands while bearing the impact of tidal waves. Although this known upper limit of strength is not as good as the Superman we know, it is no less than Wonder Woman Diana Prince."

Among the three people present, Supergirl listened very attentively, Chen Tao had known this information for a long time, but Superboy Connor was distracted.

Chen Tao stretched out a hand, synchronized all his fingers to his shoulders into high-speed bullets, and then knocked Connor from behind.

"Ouch!"

"Focus."

Superboy Connor covered his forehead: "Why did you hit me so hard?"

He looked at the seat under his butt: "And the seat hasn't collapsed yet!"

This is of course because Chen Tao used a force from back to front, not from top to bottom. He didn't plan to dismantle the car he was sitting in.

Amanda on the screen was still talking: "Dr. Stephen Shen was entrusted by Arthur Curry's father Tom Curry to conduct research on the Atlanteans when Arthur Curry was a child."

"However, Stephen Shen later tried to make this research public. He planned to obtain the blood of the young Aquaman, Arthur, to prove to the world that he had discovered the existence of the Atlanteans."

"Therefore, their two families broke up. Tom Curry, the father of Aquaman Arthur, would never allow this research that put his son in danger to be made public. Because some Dr. Shen kept his mouth shut and would never let it go. The reason he was willing to share was that Arthur's father, Tom Curry, died, and he never saw Arthur again. "

"The reason why Dr. Shen was unwilling to share was simple," Chen Tao said: "He hired a mercenary named Black Manta to steal the blood of Aquaman Arthur, but accidentally killed Arthur's father. The furious Aquaman ran to Black Manta's salvage ship to seek revenge on him, but accidentally killed Black Manta's father. They killed each other's fathers and formed a deep hatred. "

He shrugged: "In summary, they killed each other's fathers to show friendship."

Amanda Waller rolled her eyes. How do you know everything? You know so much, why am I pretending to explain to you the information you already know?

"Go on." Hearing Batman's words, Amanda Waller had to sigh, and then continued: "Therefore, Dr. Shen can only provide us with some outdated information to let us speculate on the current state of Aquaman Arthur. "

As he spoke, he thought about the problem of Aquaman Arthur. Unlike Wonder Woman Diana, according to the information they know and what Batman said, it seems that the other party is... more impulsive, reckless, and aggressive?

However, according to the timeline provided by Dr. Shen, that is only a character profile of his teenage years, which cannot represent his current state. Amanda continued:

"Time has changed, and his appearance is probably different from that of his teenage years. Therefore, in the preliminary preparations, we made a lot of mistakes and found a lot of wrong [Aquaman Arthur]. In addition, due to the improper expression of the communication personnel, it even caused a certain panic in the fishermen's circle, making Aquaman Arthur hide himself more, which in turn increased the difficulty of the task."

"But fortunately, after a long period of hard work and subsequent investment of funds, we finally basically locked the location where Aquaman Arthur might be. No, or in other words, if Aquaman Arthur is not here, it means that we basically can't find him again."

Amanda Waller on the screen tapped the table with the pen in her hand, and then the camera was cut to the door of a tavern by the sea.

"We finally locked on here, the town of Derry, Maine, the 'Little Boy in Yellow' beer hall." Amanda Waller said: "Due to the 1990 movie "It", Derry Town once ushered in a small wave of development. Even though it is almost no longer profitable now, there is an Internet connection here, which can contact the outside world. It is also a coastal town with a large flow of people.

If Aquaman Arthur needs to obtain intelligence from the outside world, this will be the right place. And what finally prompted us to make a judgment was another reason."

Amanda Waller put a photo of a person on the screen.

That was a strong man who was obviously much taller than others. He had golden shoulder-length hair and a golden beard like a lion. The most eye-catching thing was his eyes:

It was really golden, as unreal as wearing beauty contact lenses.

"This man calls himself Arthur Morgan. He is now a security guard at the Yellow Boy Tavern. He is a part-time worker who works two days a week and rests five days a week. He only works on weekends because weekends are when people relax and when there are the most security incidents in the tavern.

People around us told us that he appeared in Derry two months ago. There is no record of his train ticket or flight to Maine, and this name has not been found in Maine. It is likely to be a pseudonym."

"How tall is he?"

"According to the calculation of professional agents, it is 1.98 meters. This is consistent with what the fishermen said. A height of about two meters is indeed likely to be mistaken for about 2.5 meters, but it is different from your information, Batman. We dare not confirm that it is him, so we reported an estimate of about 1.8 to 2 meters."

Chen Tao motioned Amanda Waller to continue.

"We found that he was running his own intelligence network in the local area, and was deliberately avoiding our people while keeping track of the government's movements."

"Of course, it's not just us. Many locals also suspected that he was the Sea King that many fishermen had been talking about, but no one dared to ask him. Our agents had tried to test him once, but he acted just like an ordinary person. It's hard to say whether he was a good actor or we made a mistake."

Amanda Waller said:

"The name Arthur is really too common, and there are people with this name everywhere. We didn't dare to test too hard to prevent another fake Arthur from being mistaken like before, which almost killed civilians."

"But anyway, according to experts, According to the analysis of the rate science, Sea King Arthur must have his own intelligence channels, otherwise there is no way to explain why he could hide from us for so long, you know? Searching for his submarines and fleets, under the premise of deliberate search, once, not even once encountered any Atlanteans. Even if we deliberately find someone to pretend to be a fisherman to fish for law enforcement and try to lure him out, he will not be fooled. " "In the absence of knowledge of the outside world, this is almost impossible to happen. " Amanda Waller finally concluded: "So, Sea King Arthur Curry must be hiding among us, even if he is not the target person with long golden hair, he must be in Delhi Town, because this is the easiest place to obtain intelligence in coastal towns. " "I'm done. " She said. Chen Tao touched his chin. "Well, in that case. What are you waiting for? Let's try him in person. "
