Chapter 275 The Bat Family goes out to work as electricians

Currently, only Cortana has noticed the abnormality in the online world.

Although this force has turned everyone into "blind people", not many people can realize this.

Other organizations or individuals can still browse non-confidential content normally through the Internet, so they don’t realize that a giant screen has been lowered in the digital world.

The purpose of this giant screen is not to block the network. According to Cortana's speculation, it should be to cover up a specific secret.

However, in the online world, if this technology only works on a certain service terminal, it is equivalent to telling everyone that there is a problem.

So it covered all the online information together, but only modified some key information, letting the fake new information replace the real information, in order to confuse the public.

And it is very successful. People who are unable to realize this will continue in ignorance according to their normal trajectory.

Those who are aware of this, such as Cortana, cannot tell what key information the other party has modified, because this giant screen covers the entire sea of information, making her unable to see anything from afar.

In today's world, apart from the cyborg Cyborg, what other power can do this?

Dane thought about it and suddenly thought of the Mother Box.

Cyborg's power is given by the Mother Box, so strictly speaking, the Mother Box also has the same abilities as Cyborg, and it will only be stronger.

"Can Steppenwolf have such a brain?"

Dane had to admit that his impression of him was biased. Now it seemed that Steppenwolf was both brave and resourceful!

In this way, they will not be able to find Steppenwolf's hiding place by monitoring the global network.

And now there is no Silas Stone to recharge the Mother Box at the cost of his own life, so they have no way to use satellites to search for abnormal thermal radiation to find the location of the Mother Box.

"Have you ever tried using magic?"

Cortana also knew the tracking spell, but she shook her head.

Dane could also predict that no matter how powerful Steppenwolf was, he was still a new god. Even if he was not proficient in magic, he should have one or two pieces of equipment that could block magic detection.

Now things are a little tricky, but there are still things they can do.

In the movie, Steppenwolf built his fortress in a very desolate area, and his demon-like army was also concentrated together, so the Justice League could steal the house directly with very few people.

But now, judging from the existing intelligence, the army in Steppenwolf's hands is probably no longer a small thing like demons, but a deadly thing like Doomsday.

One Doomsday can make it difficult for all the heroes in the Justice League except him, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, let alone a group of Doomsdays.

They urgently need a more targeted weapon to deal with killing weapons like Doomsday.

Those colorful kryptonites in Dane's warehouse finally found a use. By the way, it seems that he didn't take back the kryptonites he distributed to the members last time?

Gotham, Batcave.

Batman was studying a green stone, and behind him, the butler Alfred brought a cup of coffee.

"Are you still studying this stone, Master Wayne?"

Batman took the coffee from him but said nothing to his question because he knew what Alfred was going to say.

Sure enough, Alfie couldn't help but speak: "Master Wayne, Master Kent is not our enemy!"

This is something Alfred has always emphasized. He doesn't want this incident to cause Batman to be excluded from the Justice League.

No one likes a teammate who is always thinking about how to deal with them behind their backs. Alfred thought that after all these years of working together, Batman had learned to trust, but he didn't expect that he was still like this.

Batman paused for a moment before continuing, "My purpose in doing this isn't entirely directed at Clark, Alfred."

"But I have to do this. As you've seen recently, the two opponents we've encountered recently were both Kryptonians!"

Hades's Kryptonian army, and Doomsday, these are all Kryptonians.

In the face of their power, Batman felt completely insecure.

So he had to figure out how Kryptonite could weaken Kryptonians, and in fact, he had already figured it out.

What made the Kryptonians weak was a special electromagnetic wave emitted by the Kryptonite, not the decay particles he had previously believed.

This is very important because he can create the former without kryptonite, but for the latter, he can only use the limited kryptonite in his hand to find a way to copy it.

However, kryptonite is a substance produced by the explosion of Krypton. It can only be created under extremely high temperature and high pressure conditions.

The existing kryptonite was formed under the conditions of a nuclear chain reaction on Krypton and is extremely rare.

Even Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham, would find it difficult to gather so many conditions to synthesize kryptonite.

However, if it is just electromagnetic waves in a specific band, it will be relatively easy, and this preparation will not attract anyone's attention.

He now felt more and more that Cortana had been monitoring them. Although he had no evidence, he just had this intuition.

Just as Batman was planning how to design his kryptonite ray weapon, the Batcomputer sent an emergency call, which was the communication signal within their Bat-Family.

And this signal comes from Batgirl Barbara.

He opened the communication: "What's going on?"

Barbara is not alone, she is with the other members of the Birds of Prey.

"We've discovered something very strange recently. Gotham's electricity consumption has been a bit too fast lately."

Upon hearing this, Batman immediately sat down in front of the computer to check the recent power usage, but he didn't see any problems from the data for a moment.

So he asked Barbara, "What do you think?"

"We've checked several drug factories, and it's not them. There haven't been any mafia-related experiments requiring high power consumption lately."

“Can we tell by looking at the actual electricity consumption in different places?”

Barbara was a little surprised when she heard this: "What are you doubting?"

“Although it’s not apparent from the power grid system, what if there’s something wrong with the system itself?”

Batman thought more, what if the problem wasn't just with the power grid, but with... the entire network?

But he didn't know who else besides Cortana could do such a thing.

"We'll check it out right away!"

Although the power distribution system is connected to the Internet and may be tampered with, factories in various places have their own electricity meters, which cannot be modified through the Internet in any way.

However, the workload was huge and the Birds of Prey alone was not enough, so they brought in the Titans as well.

Damian was very annoyed. It was fine if you asked him to fight and kill, but he really didn't want to do such tedious work!

There are 933 heirs to the Wayne Group. How could I possibly do this kind of work?

But Barbara was the boss of the family, so he had no way to resist and could only go ahead with it.

But he didn't act recklessly, he also used his brain a little.

He used threats and inducements to coerce a group of Gotham thugs into doing things for him.

They just wanted to check the electricity meters of the major factories. They only needed to put on the work uniforms of the power grid company and they could enter and check the electricity meters with confidence.

Anyway, the power company is also the Wayne family's business, so this identity cannot be considered fake.

In this way, they actually discovered an anomaly.

So Barbara contacted Batman again: "We've found that a laboratory under the LexCorp name has a huge discrepancy between its power consumption recorded on the power grid and its actual power consumption!"

"Lex? The Lex from Metropolis?" Batman asked.

Barbara nodded: "Yes, that Lex."

As well-known companies, Wayne Group and Lex Group also have business cooperation, and he also has a deep impression of Lex Luthor himself.

This was a very shrewd and unpredictable person, and he always felt that he seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards superhumans.

If he was doing something behind the scenes, then it would be worthy of Batman's attention.

"Afu, if I want to sneak into LexCorp, how can I get in?"

In addition to being a butler, Alf also occasionally acts as his military advisor, often checking for loopholes in his plans or offering some constructive suggestions.

This time, the Butler played his role again and handed over an invitation.

"Maybe, you can choose to just walk in."

Chapter 276 Exposed

Bruce Wayne received an invitation to a charity dinner signed by "Alexander Luthor".

The dinner was held inside the Gotham branch of LexCorp, which had a reception room specifically for dinners.

Batman immediately chose to go alone. He did not bring anyone with him and did not notify the Justice League.

At this time, he still thought that this was an incident that he could solve independently.

When he drove his classic car to the charity dinner, he found that Alexander Luther was standing at the door, and he was standing there specifically to greet him.

Bruce felt a little wary, but he still put on a professional smile and walked forward to shake hands with the other party.

"It's been a while since we last met, Gotham's most famous business wizard. You're always missing from the parties lately."

Luther gave him the same business-like smile. As the heads of two well-known companies in neighboring cities, Luther and Bruce were not strangers.

They would occasionally communicate at some business evening parties, and over time they became more familiar with each other.

"What have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen your heroic figure in Gotham's newspapers for a long time." Luthor joked.

Bruce said helplessly: "I am already very old, maybe it is time to settle down."

"Wow, this is what Bruce Wayne said. The ladies in Gotham must be very sad~"

Luther walked up, patted his shoulder affectionately, and shook hands with him again.

Bruce's expression changed slightly, but it was fleeting, as if it was just an illusion.

Luther's expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process. He released his hand and led Bruce into the banquet.

"You're welcome, enjoy yourself!"

"I will." Bruce said meaningfully, and then walked into the dinner party.

After two hours, Bruce finally said goodbye and left on the grounds of feeling unwell.

After getting in the car, he drove back to the manor at lightning speed and then headed straight to the Batcave.

"Anything you've learned?" Alfred asked, still working in the Batcave.

To be honest, there is probably only one butler in the world who is willing to work overtime, and he is so old.

Bruce took out a small gadget from his pocket, it was a U.

"I guess it's a big harvest." Alf said this after seeing the thing in his palm.

Bruce turned the U over and found words written on it: Don't connect to the Internet!

He instantly thought of the recent incident with the power grid system. The Lex Group's laboratory was clearly consuming excessive electricity, but this was not reflected on the network system. It was obviously tampered with by some special program.

"Alfred, give me a computer without an internet connection."

Alfred immediately found a laptop for him, and Bruce plugged in the USB, which contained several folders.

He immediately opened the folder and found video files and text files in it.

He first opened the video file, which contained surveillance footage arranged in chronological order.

Judging from the way the file is named, it should have been taken by the surveillance camera inside the laboratory.

Bruce clicked on the first video.

Everything was normal at first, but after a few minutes, something like a transmission channel appeared in the surveillance video, and then an alien began to appear on the screen.

He was wearing silver armor, holding a huge axe, and had two deformed horns on his head.

After him, many winged humanoid creatures appeared in the passage. They were about the same size as humans, but could fly and were extremely bloodthirsty!

Because the angle was so ordinary and the sound reception was not very good, Bruce had no way of hearing what they were saying.

But he could roughly understand that some kind of agreement had been reached between Luther and the alien.

Then he saw three regular hexahedron boxes appear in front of the armored alien. A flash of light erupted from them and the video was interrupted.

Bruce didn't stop, he immediately clicked on the second file, which recorded in detail the final destination of the lost electricity.

The huge amount of lost electricity eventually went to a laboratory - the Star Laboratory.

Bruce has vaguely realized that this matter is more serious than he thought. Even Luthor has to use this method to pass the news to him, which shows that he should be under control at present.
