In the darkness, the main computer of the Justice League suddenly rebooted. It opened a file directory called 'Highest Protection Plan' … An unfamiliar account entered the file and browsed it. At this moment, the chair in front of the main computer slowly turned around. Batman was sitting on the chair, and the unfamiliar consciousness that was cracking the password of the file suddenly froze.
A line of text appeared on the screen: Congratulations … You caught me!
Batman said calmly, "The surveillance here is connected to a sandbox system. What you see is a recording."
"I knew you'd come!" Batman said. "You discovered that all the people the members of the Justice League care about are missing. Louis, Martha, Iris, these people have all entered a Justice League's highest protection plan. In order to torture Barry again, you will let the people he loves die in front of him again and again, so you have to obtain this document. "
"The location of the people the Justice League heroes care about the most."
"It seems that you've long known it was me!" The line of text slowly said, "When did you suspect me … No, you suspect anyone. I should say, when did you confirm that it was me?"
"When the Eagle Man infiltrated the prison to kill Constantine," Batman said slowly. "Although the Eagle Man has always said that I underestimated him, the Justice League's prison shouldn't have been broken so easily, even if he was the Eagle Man … Unless …"
"Unless he was the one who designed the prison." Steel Bones slowly walked out from behind Batman. Wonder Woman and Superman also slowly appeared on his left and right, surrounding Steel Bones in a triangle with Batman.
But Steel Bones did not care. He continued, "That prison was designed by you, Diana, and me. You were in charge of the overall design, Diana was in charge of the magic part, and I was in charge of all the equipment and technology. But you definitely wouldn't have suspected it yourself. And Diana, although she was in charge of the magic part, she wasn't proficient in magic. She just used the resources of Olympus! That's why I'm the only one who can send the Eagle Men here … The Eagle Man guessed who the traitor of the Justice League was in the end, so he hinted to you that it was me … What a brilliant deduction! Batman is truly Batman! "
Steel Bones clapped his hands in admiration.
Batman only added, "Even I have always been on my list of suspects. Sometimes, even I can't be trusted …"
"Why Victor?" Superman was puzzled. "Why you?"
"Steel Bones" laughed. "Naive Superman, why is it me? Of course, it's because I'm not me anymore! "
Batman said slowly, "Because Steel Bones was the first victim … You're the Grid!"
Steel Bones … no, Grid applauded and said, "How clever! No wonder Batman is the biggest threat to us in our calculations. "That's right, Steel Bone's brain has been modified to become a quantum computer that is synchronized with the Internet 24 hours a day. However, this also means that he has to constantly face the pressure of information bombardment, so he developed me (the grid) to help him maintain his focus..."
"But he doesn't know that on the Internet, he's facing my master's power. Even though he's just an insignificant creation of my master, he's so weak that he can't even withstand a single blow."
"So, those people used my master's power to destroy his self-consciousness from the network, and then created me — an artificial intelligence with self-consciousness — the Grid to replace him." Grid said sinisterly, "The most powerful thing about Steel Bones is that his body is a collection of the country's most advanced technology, and the core also represents the most advanced technological creation of Planet Apocalypse — the Mother Box."
"But his weakest point is that although he seems to be proficient in technology, he's essentially a football player. He looks like a scientist, but he's actually a brainless brute! Technology was his greatest strength, but it was also his weakest weakness. So, my master easily let him see what a real scientist is. "
"He just casually created me and took care of the idiot who dared to modify his brain into a quantum computer," Grid said calmly.
"Then, I started to make a move among you, and at the same time, I disguised myself as Steel Bones … My disguise program is not bad, right?"
Diana listened for a long time. She slowly raised her hands with the protective silver rings and said to Grid, "Thank you for telling me this. I feel much better knowing that no one betrayed me. Now … For Steel Bones, Shazam, the Eagle Man, the Eagle Girl, for Arthur and Amu … "Diana roared," I will completely bury you and the conspiracy behind you! "
Grid said calmly, "And Barry! Don't forget him … His power comes from a God's Speed Universe created by my master. There is a hamster there that is constantly generating electricity to supply our 'Flash'. God's Speed is a frame of reference that is completely different from the time of this world. The user himself is a frame of reference of time, that is why he can run so fast. "
"This gave us a way to attack from the source. We modified Barry's frame of reference so that he could go as fast as he wanted to, but he would always be one step behind. He would always be one step behind himself. No matter how fast he ran, no matter how hard he tried, he would never make it in time … This was how we dealt with him. Now, the Flash can change his name to the Late Flash! "
"Faster than light, but never late. Not only will the Flash be late, he will also be absent … Now, the great power he relies on has become his prison. It will torture him for all eternity! "
Grid laughed maniacally. He looked at Batman with interest. "We are always prepared. Someone lost to you once last time. This time, he will take it back double. So … why don't you think about it? Is my capture part of your plan?
Grid said calmly, "Batman, in order to catch me, you used the location of Louis and the others as a trap. If the bait of this trap is fake, it will never be able to fool us. Now that you have caught me, we know the location of the people you care about! "
Diana's expression changed drastically. She shouted to Batman, "It is transmitting information … stop it!"
Batman said calmly, "This is old information … they have already moved it!"
The Grid sneered. The mechanical parts of its body exploded with great power. The quantum computer's combat system had great computing power. In an instant, Diana was at a disadvantage. The power of the Grid was unexpectedly strong. It had used the advantage of artificial intelligence to its fullest.
Fu Manzhou and five others who were also hiding in the dark were having a meeting around a round table. Fu Manzhou said slowly, "We sacrificed Grid, but we also found Batman's weakness … Batman's strongest point is his mind. He is the brain of the Justice League, but his weakest point is trust. He doesn't trust anyone, and it is difficult for anyone to trust him. Breaking the trust between him and the Justice League is the key to defeating him. "
"Of course we don't need this laughable plan."
Fu Manzhou tossed the 'Highest Protection Plan' document aside … "What we need is for Batman to leak the information of the people the heroes care about … this. Then, when the people the heroes care about die one after another, Batman, who has been framed as the culprit of everything, will … lose trust.
"No one can maintain their rationality and not vent their anger when the person they love dies in front of them … Batman's terrible performance during this period of time has already caused him to be doubted, and his mystical style has never won the trust of most heroes in the Justice League. This is his weakness. If he doubts everything, then he won't be able to gain trust either."
"This matter will be a fuse that will intensify the conflict between Batman and the Justice League, causing the rift between him and the other heroes to be completely torn apart.
"Some of you are questioning why we should spend so much effort on a mortal … defeating him is as easy as flipping a hand. However, what I need is not to defeat a mortal Batman. What I need is to destroy the brain of the Justice League and defeat Batman at his strongest point! This is what the Prophet is looking forward to. The Prophet may not care about winning or losing … but I do! "
"This is my Batman Hunting Plan …" Fu Manzhou's slender eyes flashed with a chilling light. "I will personally take back the shame of being defeated. I, Fu Manzhou, will not lose a second time. Give victory to the Second Prophet! Otherwise, none of us will have a good ending. "
