Chapter 441 A Gentle Story (Part Two) Part 2
world……
It was a sheet of black paper.
It is the white words you wrote on black paper, the path of continuous depravity you have been searching for.
It's like the first sentence of the last story in your life.
"Mr. Bruce, remember to attend the Ocean Festival."
These words still echoed in Chen Tao's ears.
But he knew that this was something that could never happen.
That's right.
Chen Tao looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
He flew his Batplane and landed on the top of a building, where the meeting was to be held on the very top floor below him.
Chen Tao looked around and guessed that there were at least five or six cameras pointed at him.
He released nanobots.
He released tiny plant spores for surveillance.
He released tiny microorganisms, controlled by the Crimson of All Beings, which could help him transmit...
Chen Tao suddenly felt a little tired.
The world is about to end, but who knows?
He looked down at the city below, where lights flickered faintly in every corner.
They didn't realize that even at this point, they were still plotting against themselves.
Chen Tao didn't know what to do. Naturally, he had no one to confide in, nor could he tell others that they might be experiencing the last few months of their lives. Doing so would likely only cause panic and probably wouldn't get him anything, so he ultimately kept quiet.
Come on, let's get started. He's already very experienced at this kind of thing.
Whether it was the matter of the lantern festival or the crisis of the eclipse, he had long been accustomed to dealing with such threats.
After experiencing all of that, Chen Tao felt that he was no longer the novice who would panic when facing Bain.
"I am a mature warrior," he thought to himself.
"I can handle all of this, yes, as always."
In some corner of the world, Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man began howling again. The battery compartment they were in had started operating.
Chen Tao upgraded their batteries to fully automatic mode a long time ago. This fully automatic mode not only means that they can be used as remote consumables at any time, but also that they can provide food, collect excrement, and use drugs to keep them awake when needed—they can't provide any sharing ability when they are unconscious, right?
Although Lucius said they wanted them to genuinely be willing to help share the burden and that the pressure could be spread more, Chen Tao no longer expected them to be willing. So, given this situation, he started administering stimulants or adrenaline, hoping to extract as much as possible from them while they were more lucid.
...So you see, Chen Tao feels that he is far from being the hardest-working person in the world.
only……
Chen Tao helped put the shackles on Gorilla Grud and Turtle Man, but the shackles he's wearing now are ones he willingly put on himself.
On this point alone, Chen Tao felt that he was different from Gerud and the others.
He sighed and strode towards the conference room.
The conference room was packed. This surprised him somewhat.
If Dr. Ivo wanted to attack him, then the robot Amozzo should be on the field right now.
Before arriving at the conference room, Chen Tao had already used the power of the Metal Spirit to corrode all the metal objects in the entire building.
but……
Nothing happened.
During the meeting, everyone argued loudly about all sorts of trivial matters. Language was used as a weapon, and after discussing for a long time, they presented Chen Tao with a three-page draft proposal for establishing diplomatic relations with the Atlanteans.
Chen Tao glanced through it briefly. To be honest, he wasn't exactly a politically astute person, nor was any of the Batmen he was in sync with.
The Batmen in the parallel universes he's currently syncing with are warriors, tyrants, and even villains, but never politicians.
Even Chen Tao, who knew so little about politics, could see that this treaty was unusually lenient, so lenient that he could hardly believe it.
He instinctively suspected that there was something fishy going on.
but……
Nothing happened.
Even after he left the meeting room, he still couldn't quite believe it.
It was as if the world had suddenly abandoned its malice and, playfully and gently, winked at him.
He investigated the entire building and found no trace of Dr. Ivo or the Amozzo robot, so he returned to the Justice League Hall to begin investigating where Dr. Ivo had hidden.
This is a simple task, and Chen Tao prefers to do it alone; he has the ability to do so.
He knew that even without discussing Dr. Ivo's matter, the fact that the politicians at today's meeting were able to so easily pass the lenient treaty on Atlantis was definitely thanks to Martian Manhunter and Amanda Waller. One of them worked within a government agency, and the other served in both the Justice League and the government. Compared to investigating the case, communicating with the behemoth that was the US government was far more exhausting, and Chen Tao wouldn't disturb them.
Superman's body has not fully recovered, and he is about to embark on a new adventure. He needs to go all out and forge ahead, which means that he is likely to spend less time with Lois Lane in the future. Therefore, they need a little time to be together before they part ways. As the actual controller of the Justice League, Chen Tao is willing to allocate this time for them.
Billy Batson, Shazam!, is still in school. He has performed exceptionally well during his training with the Justice League and the Teen Titans. Even though Chen Tao isn't by his side, he can keep track of his progress through documents, as if Chen Tao were always with them.
Chen Tao knew that once the counter-surveillance agents attacked, even underage children like Billy Batson would have to go to the battlefield. The current school days were likely to be warm and short-lived, and Chen Tao couldn't bear to disturb them.
Wonder Woman Diana Prince is battling her nemesis, and the Silver Swan incident has recently left her overwhelmed.
Even under these circumstances, she still agreed to Alfred's request to accompany her to the Ocean Festival. Therefore, Chen Tao did not intend to ask for his help in this matter; Diana had been thinking of helping him, even mobilizing all the Amazon warriors on Paradise Island to act as his batteries.
Chen Tao was grateful for what she had done, and therefore hoped that the moment he would meet Diana would be at a pleasant ocean festival rather than this time of cleaning up the internal filth.
But he soon received information from Martian Manhunter and Amanda Waller that Dr. Ivo had been captured and his Amojo robot was now on display in the collection room of the Hall of Justice.
Chen Tao didn't quite understand what had happened, but according to Martian Manhunter and the others, Dr. Ivo had been beaten black and blue and his Amozzo robot had been thrown at the entrance of the Hall of Justice.
Those within the government who were involved in Dr. Ivo's project were also given their names in an anonymous email address within minutes, which was then sent to the email addresses of every government official.
More than 14 senators were forced to resign and were investigated, and Amanda even personally presided over the arrest of one senator at the president's behest.
This matter has significant political implications, but Amanda Waller and the Martian Manhunter told Chen Tao that they could handle it.
Chen Tao could hardly believe his ears.
He examined Dr. Ivo and the Amodro robot, but no matter how he checked them, he couldn't find anything wrong.
He could only return to his office dejectedly and then begin investigating the monster's cannibalistic behavior.
Even though there is very little information about this monster at present, Chen Tao has already guessed what it is.
A type of living parasitic organism called Deadwater can move freely across the Earth via water, attaching itself to any living thing and turning it into a monster capable of temporarily rivaling Aquaman Arthur.
On Earth-11, the [Drowning Souls] subdued this creature and created an army of dead water.
It was with this army of monsters that she defeated and wiped out all the Atlanteans, at a price that was...
The Earth sank.
This is a dangerous creature, and Chen Tao absolutely cannot allow it to continue killing at this critical juncture. It could very well incite public fear of Atlantis. He must—
Ten seconds after Chen Tao arrived at the scene, he learned that the Dead Water Monster had been defeated and captured by Aquaman of the Justice League 20 minutes earlier.
The FBI staff left at the scene told Chen Tao that the person lying on the stretcher was the unlucky guy who had been possessed by the stagnant water.
And regarding all the crises, deaths, and riots caused by the stagnant water...
It had already been long before his arrival...
All problems have been resolved.
Chen Tao flew through the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere over Gotham City.
He will travel through Gotham City back to the Justice League headquarters in Metropolis to find out what's going on with all this lately.
He needs to go check out the stagnant water.
He can't relax until he's absolutely sure everything is okay.
He looked down from the high night sky and saw a man with his hands in his pockets.
Chen Tao immediately searched the information and discovered that he was a gang member with a criminal record.
Chen Tao watched as he turned the corner of the alley, took out a wire, unlocked the door, and entered a building.
The building is inscribed with: Gotham Gazette.
So he landed there and followed the man into the Gotham Gazette office.
He might go back to his old ways...
He's a thief.
He saw the other person take some money out of the drawer.
"lay down."
Chen Tao said.
He wanted to say something like, "To be honest, I haven't been involved in these things much lately," but he kept quiet.
Batman wouldn't say these things. Even after being Batman for so long, he still wasn't used to being a taciturn Batman.
"Of course! My God, Batman! No problem."
Chen Tao carefully examined the man and noticed that his clothes were quite sophisticated. Even though he was caught red-handed, he didn't show any surprise on his face.
This person has a criminal record.
"My God, you recognize me, don't you?"
Chen Tao was taken aback.
"Yes, yes, I joined the Whispering Gang when I was young, and I often got into it. But you, five years ago, you were cleaning up Gotham's security..."
"You pressed my face against the moving train, or rather, all of our faces. We were all stuck together by the magnet until the police showed up at the next station. But the whole thing changed my life. I mean, you could have killed us on the spot, but you gave us a chance."
I'm currently in school, and I also work here at the newspaper office. I'm an editor for the "World Is" column, and I've been doing it for a while now, without missing a single issue. The deadline is tomorrow, and I was thinking if I came here, grabbed some money I left in the office, bought a Batman costume, took some photos, and put them in tomorrow's paper…”
Chen Tao confirmed through the public internet that what he said was true.
"Go home, it's not safe here. And don't buy a Batman costume at night, and definitely don't wear it around on the street. There are still a lot of thugs who hate this symbol."
"If you intend to be a good person... don't put yourself in danger."
Chen Tao said.
"I'll be back soon, I mean I'll be back, but may I touch your clothes? Just for a moment."
"……Can."
Chen Tao didn't expect him to boldly reach out and touch his head. When the other person's hand tried to grab his pointed ears, he ran away like a frightened cat.
"Batman Secret Files"
Nothing to report today.

somewhere.
"I told you, don't lay a hand on Batman." Night Owl looked down at Dr. Ivo, whose face was bruised and swollen.
"No, I don't understand! Thomas, as long as we can control Batman..."
"You're overconfident in your science. Despite your brilliant mind, you're hopelessly stupid!" Night Owl snapped. "I want Batman to succeed, even though it's impossible. But I've done this much, and I have to get it done!"
"And you, foolishly acting on your own, overstepping my and Alfred's (the Outsider's) orders, and colluding with government officials... Who gave you such audacity?"
Dr. Ivo wanted to scream in pain again. He wanted to control the Amozzo robot to attack Night Owl, and then he saw the robot he had placed his hopes on standing behind Night Owl.
Night Owl coldly spat on the ground: "Pah, do you think I never considered that you might use something I funded to manufacture against me?"
He stopped physically assaulting Dr. Ivo and regained his composure.
"Turn yourself in to the Justice League tomorrow. And bring your Amoromax robot with you. I need Batman to execute my plan unscathed, understand?"
He said:
"So don't cause him trouble. That's also a kind of..."
His voice lowered slightly.
"This can be considered a final moment of peace."
He raised his head and looked at the moon on the horizon: "This is my last act of tenderness, my brother."
His gaze was deep and unfathomable: "You're about to die."
