The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Li Zhen really wanted to say that before Tom said that name, he never thought it would be Batman coming to pick him up.

He politely shook Bruce Wayne's hand.

"Jent Trigger, but after coming to Earth, I discovered that there is a country here with black hair and black eyes like the Witrum people, so I looked up the culture of that country and gave myself a more distinctive name, Li Zhen."

He didn't simply give his name.

"plz follow me."

Bruce Wayne nodded thoughtfully, withdrew his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and then turned and walked into the building.

Li Zhen followed him into the lobby of the Wayne Group.

The lobby is decorated in a seemingly understated manner, but the details reveal its luxury.

The marble floor was so shiny it reflected light, and the crystal chandelier hanging from the lobby ceiling, which served as a welcoming feature, emitted a dazzling glow.

The employees coming and going were all dressed in neat suits, and when they saw Bruce Wayne, they all stopped to greet him respectfully.

Bruce Wayne smiled as he responded to the employees' greetings, but his steps did not stop.

He led Li Zhen into a private elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.

Neither of them spoke as the elevator ascended; the only sound in the small space was the faint noise of the elevator moving.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a spacious office on the top floor.

Bruce Wayne led Lee Jung to the office's lounge area, gestured for him to sit down, and then personally poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

"I'm not sure what your preferred taste is. Would you like some salt or sugar?"

Li Zhen took the water glass but didn't drink it; she simply placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

He stared intently at Bruce Wayne, trying to glean something from his expression.

But the Bruce Wayne in front of him was the image of a kind and amiable middle-aged capitalist, speaking with a touch of humor and playfulness.

He was completely different from the mysterious and ruthless Batman he had imagined.

To be honest, Bruce Wayne looks so good that if you said he was Tony Stark from Marvel with a shaved beard, some people would believe you.

Li Zhen had a lot of complaints to vent to, but unfortunately, she couldn't find anyone to talk to for the time being.

He had read many Marvel comics and movies in his previous life, and the Bruce Wayne in front of him did indeed have a strange resemblance to Tony Stark's temperament.

She looks even more like him when she smiles.

Bruce Wayne, unaware of the thoughts that Lee Jung was having about him, earnestly began to discuss the next topic.

"This is not the first time that aliens or superpowered beings from other dimensions have appeared on Earth."

"Wayne Corporation and the Justice League have some private collaborations—you should already know that, Justice League?"

Li Zhen nodded.

"I've watched a lot of TV these past few days, since I don't have anything else to do."

Bruce Wayne shrugged, seemingly looking somewhat helpless and troubled.

"There's nothing we can do; some of them just really like to show off."

Li Zhen really wanted to know which identity Bruce was in when he said those words, and who was having a headache.

Unfortunately, I couldn't ask.

Bruce continued speaking.

"One of the collaborations is to provide a legal identity and place of residence for those harmless 'unregistered' superhumans."

Li Zhen remained silent.

He knew that what Bruce Wayne was about to say was the important part.

"However, before that, I'd like to conduct some tests on your body."

Bruce Wayne's gaze fell on Li Zhen, and his tone was very tactful.

"As you know, extraterrestrial beings have very different physical constitutions from Earthlings. We need to understand your maximum potential and weaknesses so that we can better help you integrate into Earth and provide more effective assistance when you encounter danger."

Li Zhen's eyes instantly became wary.

Seemingly sensing his concerns, Bruce Wayne explained.

"You don't need to be afraid. This is not mandatory; it depends on your own choice."

Bruce didn't say anything after that. Instead, he walked to the liquor cabinet and rubbed his chin, seemingly thinking about which bottle to choose.

But in reality, Bruce Wayne was closely monitoring Li Zhen's reaction through various means.

Ten days ago, the guy who descended from the sky carrying the unconscious Li Zhen warned Batman in a low voice that he was not allowed to obtain any tissue material from Li Zhen while she was unconscious.

Batman was also somewhat annoyed; this big guy's level of attention to detail was far beyond what that naive and innocent girl from Metropolis could match.

Not only did they know all about his methods, they also stole the various magical gadgets that Batman had secretly prepared to extract 'alien samples'.

In the end, only a pitiful drop of blood remained in a syringe, and Batman had a feeling that this drop of blood was actually the result of that guy's tacit approval.

"You know, once you leave, I have countless ways to get his samples."

Batman's deep voice carried a hint of annoyance.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he's conscious, it doesn't matter what methods you use—you can just be direct."

Then that guy carried Li Zhenfei away after she received some basic treatment.

Only Batman remained silent, gazing at the night sky in the darkness.

……

After careful consideration, Li Zhen realized that Bruce Wayne's suggestion was actually beneficial to him as well.

Although he possessed the physique of a Vitrum alien, his understanding of this physique was not in-depth.

In the comics I read in my previous life, I only knew that the Witrum people were powerful and had strong self-healing abilities, but I didn't know if they had any other weaknesses besides noise.

If he can understand his body better through testing, it would be a good thing for him.

It's better than some future opponent secretly pulling out a counter-element they themselves didn't even know about and ruthlessly undermining them.

Besides, for Batman to get his hands on it, it's simply a matter of sooner or later.

There's no way to kill him; you can't kill him either.

"Can."

Li Zhen finally nodded.

"I agree to the test."

Bruce Wayne turned around with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Great. The testing lab is on the other side of this floor; we can go there now."

He stood up and led Li Zhen toward the inner part of the office.

On the way, Bruce Wayne asked casually.

"I know you're from Vitrum. To be honest, I'm very interested in that planet. Could you tell me more about your planet's culture? For example, your fighting style, and the specific process by which you conquered other civilizations."

Li Zhen paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

He knew that Bruce Wayne had finally begun to probe for core information.

He didn't resist, nor did he intend to lie too much to this guy.

"Before I left, our planet was experiencing a civil war that lasted for many years, which led to the distortion of some elite education systems."

Li Zhen's voice carried a hint of undisguised disgust.

"From birth, we are instilled with the idea that 'weakness is the original sin'."

"When we were kids, we were thrown into training camps and fought against other kids. Only those who survived to the end could get the next stage of training."

He paused, then continued.

"Once we reach adulthood, we will be sent to various star systems to conquer civilizations that are deemed 'valuable'."

"Our method of conquest is simple: first, send a small number of warriors to launch a surprise attack and destroy the core of the enemy's military power, and then carry out large-scale occupation. For those civilizations that resist fiercely, we will directly massacre them without any qualms."

After a moment of silence, Li Zhen deliberately slowed down her speech and described in detail the most cruel and bloodthirsty aspects of the Vitrum culture.

"My last recollection was that a high-ranking member of a faction on Witrum claimed to have improved an even more sinister plan."

"Send a powerful warrior to a planet that needs to be conquered. First, disguise the civilization of Vitrum as a helpful one. After years of integration, lower the guard of its native inhabitants. Then, one day, unexpectedly destroy the planet's most important defenses."

Li Zhen turned her head and glanced at Bruce Wayne, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"To be honest, this plan is both cruel and excellent. It allows us to conquer a civilization with just one warrior at a time, and it also greatly reduces the mortality rate of Witrum warriors, because direct invasion often provokes the fiercest resistance."

"Even the most experienced and powerful warrior team can easily be overwhelmed if they are not careful."

Bruce Wayne instinctively raised a question.

"Such a time cost—"

"Oh, our average lifespan is very long. I heard that it's quite remarkable for you Earthlings to live for a hundred years, but a warrior from Witrum, like me, after passing the coming-of-age ceremony, has a service period of up to five thousand years."

Bruce's accelerated heartbeat was precisely detected by Li Zhen.

Only now did Li Zhen realize how hard Bruce and Batman had tried to distance themselves from each other.

With such powerful self-control, even capable of faking emotions, if he hadn't retained his memories of his past life, he might have only seen Bruce as an interesting and curious wealthy man.
