I became light in American comics

Shen You looked at the "Agent Mike" standing upright under Pal's control and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now Agent Mike can dedicate himself to the Sky Eye project around the clock, which should benefit his career. We'll have him start working at Sky Eye today. If there's any important information, remember to remind me."

“No problem, sir,” Pal replied.

A deep, dark night in an ancient manor.

A deep darkness enveloped everything, with flashes of lightning occasionally illuminating the sky like cracks in the heavens. The manor's shadow twisted horribly against the night, and thunder rumbled in the air—the roar of the sky, the clamor of nature. The torrential rain, like tears from the heavens, poured down with immense sorrow, striking the ancient manor with a dull, drumming sound.

The man sat in the eerie darkness, with only a few faint lights shining through the windows. A profound silence hung in the air, as if all life had been swallowed by the darkness; the endless darkness and the weight of history made the manor eerie and terrifying.

There was no light in the manor; the only source of light came from a flickering old television. The screen showed the Justice League displaying their prowess in a rescue operation.

"As you can see, I am currently at the scene of the Justice League's operation. An hour ago, the Justice League brought the situation under control without any casualties. It's almost a miracle; we can't imagine how many deaths and injuries would have occurred without them."

The man narrowed his eyes and uttered a single, heavy word.

"False gods."

"Yes, they are never there when you need them."

Another voice echoed in the darkness. Eerie eyes opened, as if mist were spreading through the shadows.

The hoarse voice said to him, “They can’t help you, David, and they don’t want to. Many people think they are gods, but they aren’t. It’s a hoax, and you need to help everyone see what they really are.”

You can help everyone and help them so they no longer have to be afraid.

The voice seemed magnetic, possessing an irresistible penetrating power, as if echoing in one's mind.

Yes, you're right.

The man called David slowly stood up, a cloak silently draped behind him.

His eyes were shining.

"I can help them all, never lose again, never fear again. But first, I need to defeat the Justice League, otherwise they'll be in my way. Fortunately, I've found the key."

David picked up a newspaper and squinted.

The newspaper headline read that the Sky Eye had officially announced the Justice League's sole designated contact person, and the Sky Eye's press conference was the main story.

"Mike Williams, he is the key."

Chapter 288 The target is Mike?

Eyes of the sky will.

"Look, he's here!"

The young girl in the Sky Eye uniform said in a low voice.

"That legendary Captain Williams."

"Maybe I can take a picture with him?"

"Let's forget about it; he seems like he never smiles."

As they spoke, Mike Williams walked past them expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

This was an ordinary day for a top-level agent. He clocked in, attended meetings, wrote reports, and left on time. So ordinary it was flawless.

Mike's android double works perfectly; the programmed system makes him look exactly like a real person, which is more than enough for his daily commute and workplace social interactions.

He even has his own little place. A small apartment in a pretty good location, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the bustling streets and the brightly lit commercial district.

Mike returned home, took out his keys, and turned the doorknob. To his surprise, the television was on, its bluish glow illuminating the dimly lit living room. A talk show was playing.

"Yes, Batman took down the Mad Hatter. I'm not saying he wasn't powerful; he outmaneuvered the madman in both strategy and ability, and kicked him into Arkham."

The host, sporting a round belly, said.

"But I mean, so what? Gotham is still the city with the highest crime rate. Batman's appearance has just ushered in a new era of crime here, from one era of crime to another."

So my point is, why does Batman have to fight this battle to the death here? Why can't he spend more time on the Justice League's activities? I don't know, like saving the world and improving people's lives more?

Mike walked up to the television, which was on, and his facial expression seemed to change slightly.

The television couldn't have been left on before he left. So there's only one explanation: someone broke in before him.

Based on the normal logic of his current role, Mike drew his gun and looked around warily.

A dark shadow appeared behind him.

Without hesitation, Mike whirled around and pulled the trigger. A gunshot rang out, a flash of muzzle flash, and the bullet left the chamber. Sky Eye's special sidearm hit its target squarely. But the spinning bullet was powerless to penetrate the solid barrier, striking and deforming against the towering figure amidst a shower of sparks before falling to the floor.

Emerging from the darkness behind him was a deathly pale, eerie face. Its color was like a zombie's, as if a clown's mask had been placed over a withered skull. Crimson eyes gleamed with a demonic light, and a wide cloak almost reached the floor.

Tomb Demon.

“Hello, Agent Williams,” the Tomb Demon said in a deep voice. “I’m sorry for what happened next, but I need you.”

“Sir, you instructed me to report any noteworthy information. I think this might be one,” Pal reminded him.

"Ok?"

Shen You, who was busy studying the mother box, turned around in his seat and looked at Pal.

"what's going on?"

"Our Agent Williams, the android double, has been attacked."

Shen You: "?"

A body double? Attacked?

Upon reviewing the surveillance footage of the bionic double, Shen You immediately recognized the other party and was momentarily stunned.

Tomb Demon?

Shouldn't this lunatic be targeting the Justice League? Why is he coming after my Agent One-Eyed's alternate account?

But he soon understood.

Shen You recalled that in the original work, before he approached the Justice League, his first step was to attack each member of the League's villains separately, and learn about each member's abilities and weaknesses from them.

The second step involved kidnapping Steve Trevor, who was then serving as a liaison between SkyEye and the Justice League—a position now held by Agent Williams.

He wanted to know the watchtower's security settings and access codes, and to use this as a breakthrough to undermine the trust between the Alliance members.

In the blink of an eye, Shen You had already flown out of Gotham and flashed into Agent Williams's small apartment.

He maintained high speed as he entered, shielding his mind with a telepathic shield.

In this way, the Tomb Demon cannot sense his spirit. On a physical level, at such a high speed, time is almost frozen for ordinary people, so even if he walks right past the Tomb Demon, the Tomb Demon will not see him.

Shen You stopped in his tracks in the room. At this moment, Agent "Mike" was beaten unconscious, while the Tomb Demon stood in the shadows in front of him in a terrifying villainous pose, but in Shen You's eyes, he seemed to be frozen in place as if by a spell.

Shen Youxian slowly performed a full-body scan on him.

The source of the Tomb Demon's power was unclear in the original work, remaining ambiguous until his defeat; all that was known was that it was some kind of mystical power. This was a new system that Shen You had never seen before. Although it might not be particularly powerful, it was always good to scan and record it to broaden his knowledge.

His body looked bizarre, at first glance resembling some kind of monstrous creation. But a scan revealed it was actually a garment, or rather, armor. Armor crafted from some kind of ice crystal structure covered his entire body.

Although he was a villain who relied on psychological warfare, this structure also granted him considerable defensive capabilities. With the addition of magical attributes, it was enough to negate Superman's heat vision, but in the end, he was still destroyed by Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

Furthermore, Shen You continued scanning and discovered that his body was covered by some strange substance, similar to some kind of spirit. In the book, that thing was called a hungry ghost, a kind of parasitic creature that could devour life force and was good at transforming into the most important person that each person had lost, trapping them in their most painful memories.

That was the Tomb Demon's greatest weapon, and it was this thing that first killed the Justice League.

However, taking advantage of the slowed time, Shen You carefully scanned the thing called a hungry ghost inside and out. Based on his understanding of DC science and magic, he was convinced that it shouldn't be a threat.

In the comics, this creature is afraid of Green Lantern's light. As a product of negative emotions, they fear light, especially light on the positive energy side of the emotional spectrum.

Shen You is the light.

However, the Tomb Demon is currently possessed by only a small portion of the hungry ghosts.

At the Tomb Demon's stronghold, in the ancient mountain range he had found based on mythological texts, lay the temple. Countless hungry ghosts roamed there. The Tomb Demon was merely a vessel; the real threat lay with those other creatures.

Shen You had originally planned to let Zheng Lian handle the rest this time. However, since they had brought the experience to his doorstep, it seemed a bit impolite not to accept it.

So Shen You thought for a moment, then continued to maintain a speed that the Tomb Demon couldn't see clearly, and carried away the defensive substitute lying in front of him.

Then a high-speed afterimage split off and lay down in the exact same spot.

He knew very well that it wouldn't be long before the Tomb Demon would lead his prisoners of war back to his stronghold, the lair of the hungry ghosts.

I'm sure the hungry ghosts will be very excited when they see what kind of great treasure he brought back.

Chapter 289 Pretend nothing happened

"You mean, there's someone out there looking for our respective enemies?"

Wonder Woman crossed her arms and said something that sounded rather strange.

"Go and cause trouble for them one by one? Doesn't that sound like we're on the same side?"

“Absolutely not, Diana,” Batman said in a deep voice. “He’s analyzing us, trying to find our weaknesses.”

"Weaknesses? We have no weaknesses." Hal was as confident as ever. "We are the Justice League."

"Everyone has weaknesses; for example, many of us wear masks."

"The Martian hunter said calmly."

"Now he knows that the Flash is a police officer and would never do anything illegal. He also knows that Wonder Woman visits a woman who lives in the Apache Reservation every month."

“Your mother?” Hal looked at Diana.

“More than just friends,” Diana said.

“The Tomb Raider also knows that Batman doesn’t trust anyone in the team,” Martian Manhunter said.

Hal yawned: "My God, this is truly astonishing."

“He’s wrong.” Superman put his hands on his hips, looking somewhat proud. “Batman trusts me.”

Batman coldly replied, "I don't trust you."

But Superman didn't care and continued with a smile to those around him, "He's just saying that."

Batman: "."

Just then, the main screen on the watchtower suddenly went black. A moment later, it lit up again, displaying that terrifying white face.
