Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Almost confused
"I'm disappointed, Mr. Bruce. I'm disappointed."
Benjamin sat on the bed with sleepy eyes, and together with the other people who were woken up at the door of the room, he cast disapproving glances at the dark figure standing beside the bed.
"Why do you think Li Hua and I would mess around with the Doomsday virus? What do you think we are, a duo that destroys everything?"
"...It was just a misunderstanding."
Bruce looked away guiltily.
He didn't want to do that, but he couldn't help it because these two people had their own history of doing things.
He also didn't expect that his counterpart in another world would suddenly withdraw the Doomsday virus just before sending the express delivery, without even having time to modify the letter.
Bruce's intuition told him that there was a reason behind his counterpart's actions, but now was obviously not the best time to ask.
And Bruce could guess a little bit...the reason why the homologue took away a bottle of Doomsday virus might be somewhat similar to the reason why he stepped in front of the door of the teenage prankster in the middle of the night. Both of them were impressed by the teenagers' magnificent... and wonderful ideas.
"That's your fault, Bruce."
Jason, who was also woken by the noise, said unhappily.
"You can call Benjamin and Li Hua idiots, but you can't call them mentally retarded. And I'm curious why you think I wouldn't stop them. Do you think I'm either skewed or mentally retarded?"
"Of course not! It's just... the Doomsday virus is so dangerous that it's inevitable that the reaction will be a bit intense."
Bruce coughed awkwardly and left the room.
"Sorry kids, it was my mistake. Go back to bed."
Tim, who had just fallen asleep when he was woken up, was now full of curiosity: "What is the Doomsday virus?"
He had just been leaning against the door frame and listening for a long time, hearing Bruce, Benjamin, Li Hua and Jason talking about "Batman from another world", "Doomsday virus", "the ultimate insurance that should not be activated unless absolutely necessary"... His curiosity erupted like a volcano, evaporating all his sleepiness.
"It's similar to the T-virus in Resident Evil. Once used, it will last as long as heaven and earth." Li Hua explained concisely.
Tim: ?
Alfred:?
No wonder Bruce reacted so violently, what kind of hellish stuff is this?
Why would the Batman of another universe come up with something like this? It seems like it's supposed to save the world. How desperate must that world be to use something comparable to a zombie virus?
Alfred couldn't help but say, "If you ask me, the name Doomsday sounds a bit unlucky."
"Doomsday wasn't a name my counterpart gave me," Bruce said. "Doomsday is an ancient Kryptonian biological weapon. The Doomsday virus was extracted from him, and it transforms those infected into Doomsday himself. He's essentially an unnatural enemy of Kryptonians."
Li Hua murmured, expressing what Benjamin and Jason were thinking: "Oh... so it's not the 'Superman' virus, it's the 'Doomsday' virus."
Tim: "Is this also what Azmis said in the intelligence he gave you?"
The desire for Benjamin and Li Hua's custody fees began to stir again.
Bruce: "No, the intelligence Azmis gave me only mentioned the 'Doomsday virus'. The detailed introduction to Doomsday was given to me by my counterpart."
Well, not really. Bruce had told the truth as far as he knew it. The letter from another world mentioned that more information about the Doomsday virus was in the USB drive that came with the letter, but Bruce hadn't had time to read it.
But that was only a matter of time. He would go down to the Batcave and then discuss with other members of the Justice League how to deal with Doomsday.
Just as AK Batman brought information about the Joker virus, this Batman from Earth-1 brought information about "Superman" and also brought information about Doomsday.
Even if it is not their own world, even if their own world has suffered casualties because of this information, they hope that this information can help themselves in another universe and save more lives that they themselves have not been able to save.
Batman from three different universes and with different circumstances made the same decision to "save lives".
The next morning, Bruce showed up at the Wayne family's breakfast table for the first time and announced a bombshell: "I'm leaving Gotham for a few days."
Go deal with Doomsday.
A little hope flashed through Li Hua's heart.
Today is Thursday, and Batman is not in Gotham. Doesn't that mean there will be no quizzes or homework checks this weekend?
But the continued happiness did not last long and was ruthlessly broken.
Bruce: "Dick will check your homework for me - all of you."
Want to skip homework? That's absolutely impossible.
.......
After finally getting through school, Tim returned to the manor and without even taking off his coat, he slipped into the backyard swimming pool and said to his magical father F3, "Can you tell me what happened to you yesterday?"
"I don't mind hearing what you want to hear, but..." Jason clicked the stopwatch and shifted his gaze to Connor next to Tim. "Maybe next time you bring guests home, you could give us a heads-up so we can try something more formal."
"At least try a different setting where I'm not practicing holding my breath and swimming." Li Hua poked his head out of the water and asked, "How long did I hold my breath this time?"
Benjamin pressed the stopwatch: "35 seconds, that's progress."
Connor said sheepishly, "Sorry to bother you. Clark recently said he'd be leaving Earth for a while, and asked me to help with Earth's affairs during that time. I was curious, so I asked Tim if he knew what was going on. But I learned that Bruce was also leaving Gotham for a while... I heard it might be related to Krypton, and you might know something."
The actual situation was that when Tim went to his good friend Connor to help fight the Kryptonian, he happened to hear Connor say that Superman and other members of the Justice League had not been on Earth in recent days.
Naturally, Tim turned his thoughts to Batman's conversations last night and this morning, and easily guessed the reason why the Justice League left the earth in such a hurry.
Doomsday.
Now that Bruce is not on Earth and the Batcomputer is locked, the most convenient and quickest way to obtain information about Doomsday and the alternate world is of course to ask Li Hua, Jason and Benjamin directly.
"If you're asking about Doomsday, I'm sorry we really don't know. Before Bruce told us last night that Doomsday is actually a living being, we always thought that the 'Doomsday virus' was a 'Superman virus' similar to the 'Joker virus', but with a more descriptive name."
Li Hua climbed out of the swimming pool, his eyes briefly lingering on Connor's face, which was similar to Clark's in appearance and color tone, the "S" logo on his chest, and his intact right arm, then moved away.
Connor: "It's wrong of me to interrupt you. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll leave now."
Although Connor is not a pure-blooded, natural-born Kryptonian, he has half Kryptonian blood flowing in his body.
When Connor heard about "Doomsday" from his best friend, he couldn't help but recall Clark's strange expression and tone when they last met. He couldn't help but become curious about "Doomsday", whose fate was somewhat similar to his own, so he came over with Tim to ask.
But Connor noticed that when he appeared, Jason and Benjamin by the swimming pool subconsciously prepared for battle. Jason directly touched a green ring, and Benjamin even pressed his watch.
This discovery really hurt Connor a little.
"Oh no, no, sorry, this isn't personal. We just had a narrow escape from some crazy Kryptonian from another world yesterday, and you look so much like Clark, we kind of overreacted."
Jason said as he put his kryptonite knuckles back into his beach shorts.
"It's not that it's inconvenient for us, but we're worried that it's inconvenient for you. This matter may be quite shocking to you."
The fact that a superhero from another world, Bai Qie and Hei Fa, is ravaging the world is probably a big shock to the Kryptonians in this universe.
They don't even know if Connor and other Kryptonians exist in that universe, and whether they were killed by Superman. But considering that Superman saw Benjamin in his Kryptonian state and was sure that he was a clone, and he acted without hesitation...
Hard to say.
Considering Connor's actual age is not even ten years old, and he and Clark have finally reached their current peaceful relationship...
Jason felt he had reason to worry about whether Connor would be left with psychological trauma.
.......Anyway, Jason, who was originally a little afraid of Superman, has retained some of his fear. Maybe in the past month, he couldn't help but touch the kryptonite when he saw Superman.
"Ah, I see."
When Connor learned that it was just a small misunderstanding and the warm concern between teammates, the little depression in his heart was instantly swept away and he showed an understanding smile.
"I understand. Clark in the other world is controlled by magic or something again, right?"
Tim also showed an understanding expression and continued, "I've seen the video of Superman losing control. It was really scary. I hope I won't encounter that again."
The conversation that was supposed to liven up the atmosphere, instead plunged the scene into a cold and dead silence again. Those who didn't know would have thought that the ice ghost cubs building ice castles not far away had unleashed another blizzard on everyone's heads.
Li Hua looked at Jason, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Benjamin's eyes were wandering around.
Jason: How do I explain to Superman's son and my brother, who is best friends with Superman's son and has a crush on Superman, that Superman in another world collapsed, wanted to kill my adoptive father, and finally I pinned him to the ground and beat him like a steak, and then tried to kill me with a gun?
Benjamin: How can I explain to them that I was nearly beaten to death by a superhero from another world, and that I finally managed to trick him with a suicide truck and control him to death?
Li Hua: How do I explain that I left a trick up my sleeve for the Superman from another universe in terms of both physics and magic?
Tim and Connor's smiles froze on their faces. Connor asked cautiously, "Did the Superman of that universe finally release the control?"
Could it be that the Superman of that universe...made an irreparable mistake after being controlled and ultimately couldn't be saved?
Li Hua guessed that he seemed to be the only one who had the least contact with Superman's family here, so he took a deep breath and stepped forward to explain:
"No, the Superman of that world is not controlled at all. He is a pure black psychopath."
"He killed the Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern from that universe... He killed the superheroes who tried to save him from the non-existent mind control, he killed Lois, and when we got there he was trying to kill the Batman from that universe."
"He also wanted to kill Ben and Jason, so I had to cooperate with the Batman of the local universe to kill him."

The author has something to say: Superman's expression is weird because Bruce told him about the destruction of the universe and Doomsday. The mental shock is a bit big [dog head]
I feel a little dizzy. I won't stay up late today and go to bed first. If there are any bugs, I will get up tomorrow to catch them [burst into tears]
