I became light in American comics

"But not today, not now. Before that mission, you have another important mission to undertake."

As he said this, his tone became somewhat serious.

"This will be a very crucial mission, and you will have the honor of joining the 'Archbishop's' operations. Be proud of it!"

Shen You's mind raced. This mission seemed quite important, and the title "Archbishop" sounded impressive. Perhaps this would be a crucial opportunity to further engage with the Blood Cult and advance to a higher level.

"We will obey the organization's orders!" the shadowy figures immediately declared.

The commander was very satisfied: "Very good. Then, in three days, you will need to meet at the designated location. I will personally come to pick you up and take you to meet the other branches."

This mission is of utmost importance; details will be provided upon arrival. But be prepared, don't mess it up, and don't disappoint the Archbishop.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

After exiting the space, Shen You began to ponder.

We'll meet in three days. This is not only an opportunity to make contact with higher-ups, but the very things the Blood Cult is plotting are also worth noting. Heaven knows what a bunch of lunatics who worship otherworldly, multiverse-level demons might do; it's necessary to keep an eye on them.

He currently has seven aliases in the meeting room, meaning he needs to create six separate personas for offline meetings. He's essentially impersonating seven different people to deceive the only genuine believer in the group who has been scammed.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed on the monitor that the early Justice League, which had just gathered to go out and fight, had returned.

Shen You's mind raced when he saw these Justice League veterans.

Or, it doesn't necessarily have to be him doing it personally.

The newly formed league seems to have already started its first internal argument.

Shen You came up and asked, and quickly learned the situation.

It turned out they had just robbed the Royal Flush. While the two sides were still exchanging trash talk, Batman sneakily circled around to the back. Before he could even make a move, Hal suddenly flew into the sky and shouted, "Fear my divine light!" A burst of sun-like green light illuminated every dark corner of the hall, and everyone's attention immediately fell on Batman, who was crouching low and stealthily approaching the enemy from the back row. The scene was incredibly awkward.

"I'm not threatening you, I'm telling you, Jordan."

Batman glared coldly at his new teammate, Green Lantern.

"Next time you flash like a lightning bolt and give away my location, I'll extinguish that damn ring of yours."

Hal, who also had a fiery temper, immediately retorted, "Oh what? Your only 'superpower'—walking on your knees—is now my fault?"

Barry muttered, "Huh? I thought his superpower was being super rich."

But no one paid any attention to him.

The two argued more and more fiercely, but Superman and Supergirl, the siblings, always stood in the middle, trying to calm things down with an air of "big brother, let it go." Honestly, with these two separating them, even if they really wanted to fight, it wouldn't have broken out.

"Cough cough."

Shen You, who had just left the basement, stepped forward and said with a smile.

"The new team is so energetic, that's great."

"Mr. Shen, please try to persuade them!" Kara shouted.

Shen You smiled and said, "Instead of that, I have another suggestion. You can listen to me before you argue."

After a brief pause, everyone's gaze fell upon Shen You.

Shen You smiled and said, "It's nothing really, just asking if you're interested in joining the Blood Cult?"

Justice League: "?"

Chapter 271 Fair, Just, and Open Elections

The moonlight was dim, and the stars were sparse. Shen You arrived on time with several other "Blood Cultists" at the location designated by their leader: an abandoned swimming pool.

The storm approached silently, the dilapidated gate groaning, as if telling its story with every gust of wind. Weeds spread all around, like a ghostly hand, trying to reintegrate the once-prosperous place into nature's embrace.

The followers, all dressed in black robes, gathered at the entrance, waiting patiently.

But no one could have guessed that among these seemingly sneaky cultists were two Kryptonians, one Martian, one DC's favorite son, one of the strongest Green Lanterns in history, one creator of the Speed ​​Force, and one Warrior of Light.

With this lineup, it's no exaggeration to say that even a god would turn tail and run.

“You know what? I’ve fantasized about this scene more than once before.” Barry was a little excited.

Hal looked at him: "What? You fantasize about being a madman who captures living people for sacrifice?"

“Of course not.” Barry nudged his kidney with his elbow, annoyed. “I mean, being in the best team, going out together on all sorts of missions. Infiltration espionage is one of them.”

What? You've never thought of that before?

Hal shook his head: "Disguise and infiltration aren't my style. I usually prefer to beat people into submission."

Barry chuckled: "I think so too. That's why Batman said he wanted to extinguish your ring."

Hal held his head high and said, "Ha, he dares to try."

"."

"Kara, what are you doing?"

Superman looked at his cousin strangely. At that moment, his cousin, who looked like a high school girl, was swaying from the left to the right of the crowd, and then from the right to the left, constantly striking various poses.

"Oh, I'm taking a selfie," Kara said excitedly. "This is our Justice League's first official and planned operation, so I'm taking a picture to commemorate it. Come on, smile!"

Superman quickly forced a sunny smile, but after filming was finished, he dropped the smile and said seriously, "We're not playing around, Kara. This is a very important mission; we need to focus."

"Anyway, we're just waiting. This is the last one, just one."

Kara skipped over to Batman: "Shall we take a picture?"

Batman, expressionless, cast an disapproving glance.

Kara shrank back and muttered softly, "Fine, then don't film it."

"somebody is coming."

Shen You interrupted his teammates' pre-battle banter.

His superhuman senses covered the surroundings, allowing him to detect anyone approaching his area. However, he was certain that Superman and Martian Manhunter were the same.

Another man in black robes arrived, dressed exactly the same. He didn't say a word when he came up to them, just nodded, and then leaned against the wall to wait.

Not long after, two or three more people arrived.

They were all dressed in black robes, members of the Blood Cult. Shen You calmly scanned them with his Ultra Vision, confirming that this time he hadn't run into any other undercover agents like when he bumped into Batman; these were genuine Blood Cult members.

It appears these are the teammates who were assigned to this mission.

The commander followed.

He glanced at everyone and nodded in satisfaction.

“Very good, everyone is here. As I said before, this is a joint operation organized by the Archbishop, and it is very important. In principle, all believers are assigned to squads according to their original organization to carry out the mission, but the situation of those of you present is special. You are all survivors who were killed in the original organization in previous missions, so you have been formed into a special team.”

Everyone understands.

To put it simply, everyone present was an orphan in the organization, a freelancer who had broken away from the original structure.

"You don't need to know too much about the details of this mission; other parts of the mission are handled by other branches. We only need to know the part we are responsible for."

He then showed a photo.

That's a woman.

She has sculpted features, with long, curved eyebrows, dark skin, and a resolute expression with a warrior-like gaze in the photos.

"This woman, named Adriana, is an archaeologist. She possesses something extremely important, and our mission is to seize it."

She has a convoy from the Sky Eye Society escorting the transport, so it might be a little troublesome. But other teams will handle the complicated parts, and our main role is to act as a safety net. If the teams ahead fail and the target and cargo escape, we'll be responsible for intercepting them. Understand?

"clear."

To put it bluntly, it's a safety net; if the plan goes smoothly, they might not even participate in the operation.

Of course, on the other hand, since they've been dragged into this as a backup plan, the plan is unlikely to go smoothly.

“Very good. However, I will have other tasks at the time and will not be able to personally command your operation. Therefore, you will need an on-site commander.”

The commander stood with his hands behind his back and spoke authoritatively.

"So this means you have to select someone to be in charge on the spot, and the person selected will have priority in being promoted to a higher level in that organization."

Everyone looked at each other.

Good grief, it even includes an election?

The eyes of the several true believers immediately burned with desire, and they all rubbed their hands together, seemingly eagerly anticipating this opportunity for promotion.

Of course, they didn't know that sometimes what appears to be a fair election is actually predetermined before the vote.

Over the next half hour, the believers became more and more enthusiastic, each delivering a passionate speech praising the great Lord and expressing their unwavering determination to serve the organization. They were practically ready to rip out their hearts on the spot to show their loyalty.

However, after an absolutely fair, just and open election, Shen You still won the position of commander of operations with an overwhelming advantage.

He even repeatedly declined, saying he was unfit for the responsibility and feared he would disappoint the organization. But the support for him was too strong, and his subordinates refused to give way. Reluctantly, he reluctantly took the leadership position.

The commander observed this and was secretly surprised that this young man possessed such prestige. He figured he must be a devout believer with exceptional abilities. Thinking this, he nodded slightly, feeling he had discovered a promising talent. He resolved to mentor him in the future so that he could better serve his lord.

If he achieves something in the future, I will certainly deserve some credit.

Those true believers who were not elected began to reflect on whether their speeches lacked persuasiveness or their faith was insufficient, and why they couldn't compete with the others.

Chapter 272 Guns are really useful

After being elected captain through a fair election, Shen You went to talk to the commander to find out more, only to discover that it wasn't as simple as he had described.

Saying they were insurance for the followers who failed wasn't entirely accurate. The plan was roughly as follows.

First, there are teams responsible for reconnaissance and interference. Then, a fully armed elite Blood Cult will intercept the Sky Eye convoy along its only route. In case the package escapes during the melee, several more interception teams are set up in all directions throughout the jungle.

Shen You's team, on the other hand, was part of the outer perimeter, a backup option should even the intercepting teams fail to stop the package. More accurately, they were a safety net, with virtually no chance of actually participating.

But it actually makes sense. The other believers are already organized and structured, teammates with prior experience and understanding. This other team, to put it nicely, is a temporary special group; to put it bluntly, it's a bunch of orphans getting re-employed. It would be a miracle if they were given any critical missions.

But it doesn't matter.

If they don't have opportunities, they can create them themselves.

After obtaining the information, Shen You and the Justice League members discussed it together. They used telepathy to establish an intracranial conference room and briefly discussed the matter, leaving aside a few true believers.
