I became light in American comics

Who the hell is talking to your own people.JPG.

Shen You thought for a moment, then activated the subspace built into the bracelet. Metal parts appeared out of thin air, assembling and combining in an instant to transform into classic red and silver armor that enveloped him completely.

He was certain he caught a glimpse of surprise in the other man's cold eyes beneath his hood.

"It's you."

Batman finally put down his fighting stance.

Shen You knew this didn't mean trust; this guy was suspicious and didn't trust anyone. However, the good reputation he had so far as an "Ultraman" was enough to reduce him in Batman's eyes from a "threat that urgently needed to be dealt with" to a "target to be observed."

For him, it's probably like Superman before the Justice League was formed: cooperation is possible, but vigilance is necessary.

“You’re an alien.” He sized up Shen You.

"That's right," Shen You readily admitted.

"Like that Superman?"

"They're not from the same place, but to humans, there's no difference, right?" Shen You glanced at the unconscious man on the ground. "Are you also investigating the 'Blood Cult'?"

"Disappearances, a series of incidents. Initially thought to be the work of the Scarecrow, but as the investigation deepened, a dangerous religious group came to the attention."

Batman said coldly.

"They exhibited some extraordinary characteristics, some supernatural abilities. Since you've appeared, perhaps they are aliens?"

"No. They are followers of a very powerful demon from another dimension. That demon granted them abilities and imprinted them with magical marks that allow them to recognize each other. That's why this person discovered you."

As Shen You spoke, he seemed to realize something and asked, "Wait a minute, if you don't have the magic power of the Three Palaces, it means you can't activate the communication stone they use. So how did you sneak in?"

Batman looked at him coldly and slowly said, "Because."

"Because you're Batman? I know that. Be more specific."

"."

After a moment of silence, he said in a calm voice, "James Cruise is a deacon of a branch of the Order. I tracked down his identity, apprehended him, and learned about this place through him."

"I see."

After all, Batman is not only a superhero but also a detective, relying on traditional investigative methods to uncover clues.

"So it seems that if we want to find out what they're planning to do to catch a big fish, we'll have to go to the meeting point together and meet that so-called 'bishop'."

“One person is missing.” Batman looked at the unconscious butler at his feet and said coldly, “They’ll become suspicious.”

Shen You pondered for a moment.

"Your face mask... is it digital? It looks like it can be adjusted to resemble any face. Do you have any more of these?"

Batman immediately understood what he meant.

“You mean find someone else to play this guy?” he said in a deep voice. “But these cultists possess supernatural powers; they are extremely dangerous. That person must be trustworthy and capable enough to protect themselves.”

"It's not a big problem."

Shen You smiled.

"They said the meeting place was in Midtown? I happen to have someone like that, someone who is absolutely trustworthy and absolutely capable of protecting himself."

Chapter 147 Now can we beat him up?

"Batman is real!?"

Barry Allen, dressed in the classic red and gold color scheme and a cross-section mask, stared wide-eyed, his face full of surprise.

Some time had passed since the apes invaded Midtown, and DC's famous red-clad runner, The Flash, had begun appearing on the streets of Midtown. Midtown reporter Iris West first referred to this elusive Midtown hero as "The Flash" in a report, and the name gradually spread.

Meanwhile, the rookie Flash, who had been summoned by Shen You, was staring at Batman with wide, astonished eyes.

"Wow, I always thought it was just an urban legend in Gotham. You know, like that owl thing or something." Barry exclaimed in surprise, "Batman is actually real!"

Batman remained expressionless, glancing sideways at Shen You beside him.

It's like saying, seriously, this kid?

“He’s young, but he has a lot of potential.” Shen You paused, then added, “And he’s very fast.”

“Fast is a very general term. I’ve recently started to discover that I’m more than just fast.” Barry suddenly started talking. “Ever since you helped me discover this ability, I’ve been researching it.”

Now I've discovered that I can actually access some kind of special energy field, which can influence the flow of time as I perceive it in some way.

He then fell silent when he realized Batman's cold gaze again.

"Oh right, let's get things done first, then chat."

The Flash chuckled awkwardly, then, as if remembering something, cast a questioning glance at Batman.

"What's your superpower again? Super strength? Flight? Invisibility? I saw some people online saying you're a vampire, haha, that can't be true, right?"

Batman still ignored him. Shen You patted him on the shoulder: "He's super rich."

Barry: "?"

If Barry didn't understand what that sentence meant at this point, he gradually began to understand it when they arrived at one of Batman's safe houses in Midtown.

After passing through the underground pipe system, a hidden door in the wall opened, revealing a large alloy door marked with a bat symbol in front of the two.

“Cool~ It’s just like the Men in Black,” Barry couldn’t help but say. “Wait, you’re active in Gotham, and there’s a facility like this underground in Midtown.”

He didn't finish his sentence, but the second half was probably something like, "How rich would they have to be?"

However, this is actually only part of a nascent plan of Batman's. Although Wayne Enterprises has branches all over the world, it has only set up bases in a few cities, including Metropolis and Midtown, where superhuman events occur frequently, to facilitate future research, observation, and countermeasures against these superhumans.

Batman remained silent, only walking to the door and activating the recognition.

"Please enter the password," the AI ​​said.

“One penny,” Batman said.

His butler, Alfred, was surnamed Pennyworth, which translates to "one penny." This is clearly related to Batman's password.

"I thought the password would be 'Iron Man is so weak'," Shen You joked.

This is actually the password used in LEGO Batman.

As the group entered, the lights inside the hideout automatically turned on. The computers started up, and a huge bat symbol was projected onto several monitors.

The master's makeshift facility also contained a considerable amount of equipment, including extra digital masks. These were still products of Wayne Enterprises' all-powerful Lucius Fox, capable of transforming the wearer into any appearance by adjusting their parameters.

After adjusting the parameters to match the facial features, Barry put on the mask and quickly simulated the appearance of the third deacon.

The test was successful. After recording the character creation parameters, Barry was still marveling at this cutting-edge technology.

"This mask is so cool! I can transform into anything!"

Barry started playing the character customization game with great interest.

"Even women. I look like Emma Watson now!"

Then his expression changed again, becoming a fierce bald man, and even his voice became deep.

“Look, I’m Vin Diesel, call me ‘Family Man’.”

The next moment, he transformed into a handsome Gotham rich young man.

“I’m Bruce Wayne. I drive a different car every day. If I drive the same car even once a month, I lose.”

Just as he was having fun, he turned around and saw Batman standing behind him, his cold expression sending chills down his spine.

"Oh, hey Batman."

A survival instinct compelled Barry to immediately remove the digital mask and chuckle awkwardly.

"I'm just... uh... familiarizing myself with the equipment, you know."

Shen You hesitated to speak, but ultimately decided to remain silent.

Once he joins the Justice League and learns who Batman is, he'll definitely regret what he did today.

The three-person team set out again and arrived at the agreed meeting point.

The bishop who was there to meet them in the middle of the city was quite punctual, arriving almost at the exact moment.

The bishops' and deacons' attire was different. Although it was also predominantly black, the robe seemed more ornate, with gold patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

He was also wearing a hood, but Shen You could see through him. Under the hood was a tall man with pale skin, black eyes like a dark lake, and thin lips that seemed frozen.

After Shen You provided technical assistance, they now all had radiation signals similar to the Three Palaces Mark on their bodies. The bishop sensed the mark and confirmed it was genuine, but without asking any further questions, he silently led the group away.

"What's going on? What do we do?" Barry asked anxiously in the team voice chat. "The bad guy's appeared. Should we go in now? Should we take him down?"

To facilitate communication, Shen You set up a telepathic chat room for this temporary three-person team. They could communicate solely through thought, using intracranial voice chat.

"Do not."

Batman's voice rang out. Strangely, even his telepathic communication gave off a gloomy, hoarse, and cold feeling.

"We need to know their strongholds and their objectives."

Shen You also said, "That's right. The Blood Cult must be plotting something by summoning the deacons of their various branches. We need this guy to lead the way."

"Oh, I get it."

The three reached a consensus and decided to let him off the hook for now.

But then the bishop walking ahead suddenly stopped.

Figures began to emerge from the surrounding darkness.

A group of figures in black robes, some carrying scythes and others holding crossbows, surrounded the group.

"New plan."

The bishop walking in front turned around, a cold and evil smirk appearing on his lips as he looked at the three of them with ill intent.

"I've long disliked you Gotham country bumpkins. You're always so slow and inefficient at getting things done. I never expected that the organization would send me here to provide backup today."

Feel honored, for your divinely bestowed power will be used by me, and your souls will become my nourishment! Hehehehe!

The three who had just decided to let him go: "."

After a moment's hesitation, Barry couldn't help but ask.

"Hey guys? Should we beat him up now?"
