Chapter 3555 Edge of Tomorrow (I)
In the Metropolis, in a bar invested by the Luther Group, wine glasses were raised high and collided with each other. Foam splashed in front of smiling faces one after another.
"cheers!"
This was followed by a series of cheers.
Clark took a few sips of the cold sparkling wine, let out a contented sigh, fell back into the soft sofa, and rubbed his head against the surface of the fabric sofa.
"It's finally over." Diana fell beside him.
Bruce handed over the candy jar, and Diana took a few and gave them to Clark next to her. The three of them threw the candy into their mouths together.
On the other side of the dance floor, Hal was shaking his head and swaying to the rhythm of jazz music. Oliver came over from the bar and put an ice bucket and a bottle of wine on the table.
"Didn't you say you wanted to talk to Ron? Why did you come here so quickly?" Diana looked at him and asked.
"Forget it. He's been complaining to me about that shitty movie for 20 minutes. I really don't want to hear him repeat the plot again."
Bruce immediately laughed. Diana rolled her eyes at him, uncorked the bottle, picked up the glass and poured wine into it, then said, "Ron saved our lives, or this guy would have shown us that movie."
"It's a good thing you didn't watch it, the plot was so bad." Ron's voice appeared behind them.
"Oh, come on." Clark quickly raised his voice and said, "Just read it by yourself, no need to share it with us!"
Lex came over, sat down on the last empty seat on the sofa and said, "Although that movie is from the next world, I heard that the director is from our side. It's really embarrassing to have to go through two worlds."
"Don't let me catch this damn director." Ron said gritting his teeth.
"Is it really that bad?" Bruce said, "I think it's OK. Apart from the fact that the plot is a bit dragged out, it's barely acceptable."
"You know what? When you said that, I really understood the professor a little bit." Diana couldn't help but complain, "Your taste is simply terrible. If that movie can be considered okay, are there any bad movies in the world?"
"Look at the bright side. If you watch this bad movie, all the movies in the world will be considered good movies to you," Bruce shrugged.
"That's right. After reading your paper, I realized that there is no one in the world who doesn't know psychology." Clark also said.
Making fun of Bruce's thesis has become a daily topic in the Justice League, and everyone can tell at least two or three thesis jokes.
"Have Pamela and the others gone home yet?" Oliver asked. "They left in such a hurry that they didn't even attend the celebration party."
"It seems they were called away by someone," Lex said. "It seems to be Amanda Waller again. Who knows what she is going to do."
"She must have been very proud of herself recently," Diana said. "This kind of supernatural incident is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Shield. Washington is desperately trying to get information about the Justice League from Amanda."
"Although she is a little nosy and sometimes overconfident, her starting point is good." Oliver said fairly, "Anyway, there must be an organization in the world that deals with supernatural events. Letting Amanda lead it is already the best outcome."
"This is why I often despair about the talent pool in federal politics," Lex said after taking a sip of wine.
Hal came over with a plate of snacks, put the plate on the table and said, "Barry ran too fast, and I still have a score to settle with him."
"Come on, how old is he? Why are you arguing with a 20-year-old kid?" Oliver said, throwing a potato chip into his mouth. "Besides, isn't it okay in the end?"
"That's what I say, but..."
"Stop talking, drink, drink." Bruce started pouring wine for the people next to him.
The party lasted most of the night, and everyone was drunk. When Oliver woke up the next morning, he touched his aching head and whispered, "...Did I forget something?"
After saying that, he picked up his mobile phone, rubbed his forehead, squinted his eyes, and swiped the screen down.
Only then did he see that not long after the meeting yesterday, Batman sent him a message:
"Our main mission has been announced. It is to thwart Brainiac's plot to invade Earth. Let's talk about it in the conference room?"
In the conference room of Luthor Manor, the two teams of Batman and Superman stared at each other and waited all night.
Oliver walked in holding onto the door frame, staggered to sit on a chair, then leaned on the table, took a deep breath and said, "Good morning, everyone."
"I'm afraid we're not doing well," Batman said. "What were you doing last night? Dealing with the wreckage on Mercury? Exploring Krypton? Or interrogating that super Kryptonian?"
Before Oliver could reply, Hal came in, plopped down on a chair and said, "Oh my God, we didn't finish the show until three o'clock yesterday, and you called me here at six in the morning. Isn't the Justice League protected by labor laws?!"
Clark and Diana flew in, yawning. Clark waved his hand and said, "Bruce is studying his broken phone again. He won't come today. I guess Lex won't come either."
"What's wrong with Lex?" Oliver asked with all his strength.
"Bruce is working on that broken phone on his property, so of course he has to watch, or else he'll have to say goodbye to the most valuable equipment in his lab."
"Where's Ron? Is Ron gone too?"
"He has to help his daughter with a handicraft homework, which must be handed in at school tomorrow. He has never done it before, so he has to go back and learn it today. He flew back as soon as the show ended yesterday."
"He's really good," Hal exclaimed. "It's different when you have a child."
Oliver's phone suddenly rang. After seeing the message on it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, it seems that I don't have time to accompany you either."
"what happened?"
"Black Canary is back from Mexico and wants to invite me to dinner."
Everyone let out an "Oh" at the same time, and then started to laugh.
"Ahem." Oliver coughed twice and then said, "We are just friends. Don't think too much about it."
"Louise used to say this before." Diana glanced at Clark and said, "And now some people have started choosing Valentine's Day gifts."
Oliver curled his lips, looking as if he didn't want to bother with them, and his fingers kept tapping on the phone keyboard, as if he was editing a message.
"You haven't told me why you called us here." Hal tapped the table to remind him.
Oliver nodded forward. The others looked at Superman and Batman sitting behind the table.
"We just received our main mission," Superman spoke first, "to deal with Brainiac. What do you guys think?"
"That's not our business." Hal stretched and leaned back in his chair. "I have to go to Doujie to purchase equipment and transform Mars City. I won't be free for the next month."
"Don't look at me." Clark also shook his head and said, "I'm really exhausted lately. I'm going to take a vacation."
"Me too." Diana crossed her arms, put them on top of her head, stretched, and said, "I'm going back to the Amazon to visit my family. I've already applied for leave. If you hadn't called me over, I might have already arrived."
After saying that, several people stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Batman stopped them and said, "Brainiac is a very evil artificial intelligence. He has caused many disasters in our universe and destroyed many civilizations. He is the enemy of the Justice League."
"He is on Krypton right now, and you have brought Krypton into the solar system. Aren't you afraid that he will take this opportunity to invade the Earth?"
"Yeah." Oliver nodded, uttered a single syllable, then slumped down on the table again and said, "But I have a headache, I'm going to go back to sleep. Good night."
After saying that, he left, leaving Batman disheveled.
The others also dispersed in twos and threes. Before Clark left, he said, "The Justice League has dealt with Hale and got a new Mercury for the Earth. They have done a great job. Now we are going to get off work, and let others worry about the rest."
The conference room fell silent again.
The two Batmen seemed to be shocked by their worldview. Looking at their expressions, we can probably tell where this shock came from - it turns out that the Justice League can go off work?
"It would be fine under normal circumstances, but now with such a huge super villain hanging over your head, you're just going to go off duty like this?!"
But no matter how unbelievable they were, the Justice League of this universe was determined to go off work. Not only did they all go home and leave cleanly that night, but by lunchtime, they could no longer contact any of them.
So the question is: what about Brainiac?
Batman and Superman don't know either.
After receiving the announcement of the main quest, they were also somewhat surprised. They didn't expect that the previous ones were just appetizers, and they still had to fight Brainiac in the end.
Unjust Superman and Unjust Batman were even more speechless. They came to the fighting world to look for opportunities just because they couldn't beat Brainiac. And now you tell me that I came here to fight Brainiac again, so I came here for nothing?
After receiving the main mission, they originally planned to see what method the Justice League of this universe could come up with.
Although the Justice League in this universe seems to be out of tune, this group of people actually solved the problems of Hale and Mercury by running around. In the process of dealing with Brainiac, maybe they can come up with some good ideas for them to learn from.
The Injustice Batman never expected that the Justice League of this universe would be fired.
They can go off work, but I can't. If I don't complete the main quest, I won't get any rewards, and I still won't be able to deal with Brainiac when I go back.
"What should we do now?" Superman asked, "It looks like they really don't intend to help... No, Brainiac invaded their Earth, we are the ones who are helping."
"I don't think they will really just leave it alone." Batman speculated, "Or maybe they are confident that Brainiac can't get in. After all, they still have a magic defense network, which is really amazing."
"The point is that they don't even care about Krypton anymore," Superman said. "There are a lot of cleanup issues that no one is doing. It's like the homework group I formed in college."
"You've been here for so long, haven't you discovered that they are unreliable?" Unjust Superman said sarcastically, "They are unreliable at any time and in any matter."
"But they succeeded anyway," said Injustice Batman.
"That's because the enemy can't predict their actions either." Unjust Superman continued, "Do you think Brainiac has prepared a lot of arguments and intends to negotiate with them?"
Although he didn't want to identify with Injustice Superman, when he thought that Brainiac would be like himself, waiting and waiting in vain, Injustice Batman actually wanted to laugh.
