The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

"Can I travel through time?"

When Li Zhen found Jason, he was loitering on the rooftop of a building, lurking with a criminal gang that was said to be possibly connected to the Lex Group.

As the number of talented people on Earth continues to increase, Gotham City's criminals are also keeping pace.

In particular, the last Astora virus infection incident led to the emergence of several new types of transactions in this crime capital.

poison?

Although some shares are still circulating, that's a thing of the past.

The problems left over from the Amozzo virus were digested by the strange city of Gotham, giving rise to an underground business that specializes in kidnapping and dissecting the organs of superhumans.

However, since the virus outbreak was largely confined to Gotham City, the scale of this business deal did not extend to the outside world.

Most of it is handled by insiders.

Many gang leaders and super criminals have been involved in crime to varying degrees, and some even possess superpowered organs.

Lexcorp, on the other hand, acted swiftly, spending an exorbitant sum for someone at the bottom of society, presumably to get involved in this business that has been stained with blood and evil since its inception.

Just like when Batman was secretly lurking in the shadows and Superman suddenly showed up, he was unwelcome to Batman.

Jason was annoyed that Li Zhen was floating so openly behind him, which might alert the people on the ground. He could only give a brief reply in a low voice and then start to shoo people away.

"What kind of stupid question is that? You know I almost never use superpowers!"

After saying that, Jason lowered his body a little more, and when he noticed that Li Zhen was still floating behind him, he turned around with a grimacing expression.

"Could you please get lost...?"

Jason's red hood has changed from a rough, bony look to a matte metallic sheen compared to when he first emerged from Patient Zero.

But Li Zhen could tell that it was still not real metal; it was essentially a biological exoskeleton that Jason had created using his own abilities.

No ability required?

The definition of "not used" seems quite vague.

Jason noticed that Li Zhen's expression was off; her eyes, hidden behind the red hood, blinked.

Li Zhen made a gesture to the Supreme Little Superman high in the sky behind her. Of course, in reality, the two were communicating efficiently through mental power and bio-force field.

The latter immediately obeyed the order and vanished from Jason's sight in a flash.

Even with the power to shake the stars, Superman still enjoys playing various heroes.

This time, Li Zhen's task for him was to take over Jason's wiretapping duties.

Supreme, on the other hand, said he wanted a red helmet with Jason's signature afterwards.

"There are more and more superheroes in this world."

Jason was unaware that Li Zhen had so casually sold his helmet at a low price. He grumbled in a low voice, turned around, and sat cross-legged on the spot, leaning his back against the railing at the edge of the rooftop.

Then he began to observe Li Zhen's facial expressions in detail.

Did something happen to Rachel?

No, it's impossible.

If it were that girl who had an accident, Li Zhen wouldn't be able to chat with him so calmly.

If that were the case, he should be receiving a communication from Batman right now, telling him to stop Li Zhen, who is unleashing her berserk mode somewhere on Earth.

I can't quite figure it out.

However, we don't necessarily have to make such a hard guess.

Did Jason have no other way to get the information?

He looked down and pressed a couple of buttons on a high-tech watch on his wrist, glancing at the Justice League live stream that Oracle had shared with him.

"Golden Vanguard is dead?! Wait, is something wrong with Chronos too?"

Jason is different from those native heroes; he came to this universe because of a cosmic patch, which is why he knows the Golden Vanguard from his universe.

As for Kronos's accident, Jason simply deduced it from the death of Golden Vanguard and Li Zhen's expression.

No wonder Lee Jung asked herself if she could time travel.

Did something happen to two guys who can travel through time?

Jason's sour expression softened a bit as he let out a long sigh.

"You don't need to worry about me, I'm capable of protecting myself."

Li Zhen's gloomy expression finally brightened, dispelled by a look of utter bewilderment.

"Worried about you? Who? I'm asking if you can time travel; I need help!"

Jason's expression under his helmet began to twitch and distort.

"Just because of that?! Don't you know I have a mission too? You can't just wave me away from Gotham all the time. I haven't finished everything here..."

Perhaps because the previous moment of unrequited love was too embarrassing, Jason suddenly turned around to try and ease the current atmosphere.

Then they saw Superman, carrying a string of criminal gang members tied up like candied hawthorns with rope, fly up from under the building.

The scene fell into a brief silence.

About ten seconds later, Jason finally broke apart.

He waved his hand and pointed at the Supreme Little Superman, who looked like he was asking for credit, and shouted at Li Zhen.

"Where did this guy come from?! Didn't anyone tell him that Superman has to follow Gotham City's rules even after coming here?!"

Before Li Zhen could respond, the Supreme Little Superman raised his other hand, and another group of guys in suits appeared on the rooftop.

If nothing unexpected happens, the person dressed so formally should be one of the people Lex sent to buy the "black goods".

Superman pouted, and several boxes containing superpower organs clattered and tumbled down onto the rooftop.

"I saw they had already started trading, so I arrested them all."

Jason suddenly raised an exaggeratedly large-caliber pistol, first aiming at Superman, then aiming at Li Zhen with his other hand. Considering that the bullets couldn't reach either of them, he put it back and began frantically hitting his head with the pistol grip.

"Aaaaaah, I'll go with you, I'll go with you, okay?!"

……

As night fell, the three changed into casual clothes and sat on the ground at the pier at the mouth of Gotham Bay.

A bloody gang fight had just occurred here, and the three people who were looking for a place to talk happened to wander into this place.

The two gangs were probably in a frenzy, and they both turned their weapons on the three of them with perfect understanding, deciding to kill them to silence them.

Now, it's completely quiet here.

Jason sat on a wooden post on the dock, toying with a dagger he had just captured.

"I can indeed travel through time."

Jason, with a strange expression, answered the question that Li Zhen had initially asked him.

"But that's not a superpower. It's an effect I achieved by combining about twenty different superpowers that I have when I'm doing research in my spare time."

"To be honest, it's not stable, and I can only go back to about a week ago."

Li Zhen nodded.

This is enough.
