The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 168 Your Choice

Li Zhen remained silent for a long time, and even Ni Shan could hear her stomach rumbling, but she still didn't utter a sound.

He just stared at Reverse Flash thoughtfully until Reverse Flash couldn't help but ask a question.

"Don't you have any thoughts on this?"

"ah""

Li Zhen seemed to have suddenly broken free from a state of deep thought and come back to her senses.

"I'm wondering what your motives are for reminding me of this."

Li Zhen raised her finger and pointed at Ni Shan, then pointed at herself.

"Although I respectfully address you as Mr. Swann, we don't actually have that kind of good relationship."

"What you said is very informative and sounds useful to me, but we are not sworn enemies, nor do we have any supervillain partnership."

"Even in the future, you and I will be purely adversaries."

Li Zhen tapped her temple.

"I just can't understand this."

Nissou's lips twitched, and his eyes were full of helplessness as he looked at Lee Jung.

"Whatever."

He turned around, assuming a classic low-profile stance, ready to start running, with red Reverse Speed ​​Force lightning surging around him, looking like he didn't want to waste any more words.

"I should go back to the future, otherwise the changes this patch makes to the future timeline will likely exclude me."

Li Zhen's gaze lingered on Reverse Flash's back until the red lightning crackled, and Green Arrow, who had been frozen in place for a long time, finally stopped, his figure disappearing into the teleportation device.

Batman, sitting at the conference table, seemed to sense something, looked up, and gazed at Lee Jung, who had suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Is there anything else?"

Li Zhen paused, seemingly hesitating.

But in the end, he turned around.

This doesn't actually require any extra judgment. Just remove your concerns about your own interests from the equation, and then start thinking.

Is it even necessary to ask who is more trustworthy, Reverse-Flash or Batman?

"Reverse Flash came by just now."

Batman immediately gripped the batarang in one hand, raised his arm armor with the other, glanced down at the digital display, and then quickly clicked a few times with the batarang.

"I haven't detected any trace of the Speed ​​Force here, and there's no remnant of the Speed ​​Force in today's monitoring logs from the watchtower."

"So that person just now wasn't using Reverse Flash?"

Li Zhen rubbed her chin.

Batman fell into a brief silence, and he roughly guessed what had just happened.

"Whether he reverse-flashed or not is unimportant; what matters is what he said to you."

Lee Jung-jin probably embellished the story and repeated it to Batman.

"He said that the Flash's awakening and the changes in the world will have some negative effects on me—and maybe not just me, in short."

"Is there anything else?"

"That's it. He left in a hurry, saying he needed to get back to the future as soon as possible, otherwise the changes after the Flash's awakening would exclude him from the future."

After Li Zhen finished speaking, she rubbed her face, looking somewhat puzzled.

"This sounds like an attempt to create some kind of panic in me, to induce me to stop you from completely curing the Flash, or to kill the Flash, but that doesn't make sense—"

"No!"

Batman coldly interrupted Li Zhen.

"His last words were the key point. He was reminding you that if you make good use of your time, you can avoid the impact of this world change on you."

Li Zhen was stunned, then pondered over Reverse Flash's last words.

It seems there is indeed a veiled hint in the message.

"I need to get back to the future quickly, otherwise the influence will exclude me."

Isn't this just telling Lee Jung in reverse that as long as she hides in the past, she can be excluded from the impact of this change?

But how could he dare to assume that Li Zhen could understand this hidden meaning?

Oh, right behind me is Batman.

But how could he be sure that Li Zhen would definitely ask Batman for help and reveal everything?

So, is it really Reverse-Flash? The real Reverse-Flash could have predicted Lee Jung's choice without any problem, after all, in order to study the Emperor's Special Jubilee, Reverse-Flash traveled through nearly a thousand years of history to collect data.

As long as Reverse Flash can grasp the potential reactions of the Emperor and understand Lee Jung's personality, it won't be difficult.

Or perhaps the other party wasn't actually that mysterious; he simply overestimated Li Zhen's ability to interpret metaphors.

Holy crap, they've started nesting dolls!

Li Zhen quickly shook her head, temporarily clearing her mind of the mess.

Once your thinking gets stuck in a nested loop, there's no saving you. It not only wastes your thinking ability and burns up the physical energy your brain uses for processing, but it also makes your mind, which should be clear, sluggish.

"You seem to be stuck in some kind of mental block?"

Batman looked at Lee Jung, whose face was full of confusion.

"If you need me to help you make a judgment, then you must repeat to me every single word that Reverse Flash said to you privately."

Just now, Li Zhen vaguely used words like "maybe" and "some" to gloss over many things, clearly indicating that there were some things she didn't want me to know.

However, since arriving on Earth, Li Zhen has not actually demonstrated any ability to think, aside from her somewhat decent acting skills.

Batman is certain that Lee Jung still harbors some secrets.

Some of the secrets are different from Wittrum's.

Batman instinctively wanted to uncover it.

This is usually not too difficult for him.

Powerful superheroes like Superman, Shazam, and Lee Jung all share a common problem: their excessively strong muscles can affect their thinking habits.

When faced with difficulties, they always rely on the smarter person around them, and Li Zhen is at that critical juncture right now.

Seeing Lee Jung's face contorted once again by the inevitable brainstorming session of stacking boxes, Batman's lips curled up almost a pixel away.

Come on, stop thinking and rely on me!

"Why do you have to repeat it word for word? Haven't you already analyzed it?"

Li Zhen started shaking her head again, asking with some resistance.

Batman displayed immense confidence at this moment.

He encountered similar predicaments far more often than Li Zhen.

Riddlers and clowns are both masters of playing the game of thought-provoking nesting dolls.

But Batman always wins.

"What you just analyzed was the most superficial purpose that person wanted to convey to you. But if you can't break down every detail to think about it, and if you think one step less than the other person, then you are actually helping the other person achieve the goal they want you to achieve."

"Every single detail?"

Li Zhen suddenly stopped what she was doing and began to repeatedly ponder those few words from Batman's quote.

Batman calmly looked at Li Zhen. He knew that the other party was just making a last-ditch effort. Superman and Shazam had also been through this. They would often have a surprising little performance at this time, but it could not completely solve the problem.

Ultimately, we still need to rely on Batman's wisdom.

Li Zhen didn't pay attention to Batman's emotions; she was only focused on analyzing everything from Batman's first words to his last.

About four or five seconds later, Li Zhen's face suddenly became excited.

"He's not Reverse Flash!"

Batman mentally gave Li Zhen an encouraging gesture.

This was a small display of Li Zhen's wisdom; he found some details, but it was useless. With Li Zhen's brain, it was impossible to see all the layers of thought.

Come on, make your choice. Superman and Shazam have both gone through this process!

But Li Zhen straightened up, her troubled expression completely gone, and started to leave.

Batman: ?

"Have you thought everything through?"

He reminded Li Zhen.

Li Zhen didn't even turn her head, just raised her hand and waved it casually.

"It's too tiring to think everything through, why bother?"

95

"I was already wondering why Reverse Flash and I, who weren't exactly on good terms, would specifically come to remind me of this. Now, it seems that guy might even be a complete stranger to me."

"Using Wittrum's approach, everything unfamiliar is an enemy."

Why should I listen to the enemy? I'm leaving, I'm starving.

Batman almost bent the batarang in his hand.

This brat—he's nothing like Superman or Shazam!

But there's nothing we can do; even if Li Zhen doesn't say anything, Batman still has to investigate.

He started banging on his arm armor again.

An unknown entity capable of disguising itself as Reverse Lightning and the Speed ​​Force, and completely evading the Watchtower's technical detection.

Furthermore, there is some unknown connection between him and Li Zhen.
