Chapter 95 Chapter 95 What kind of universe is this? You...
After Benjamin made sure that his limbs and torso were still in the right place, he jumped up from the ground and became more determined not to use Kryptonians unless necessary.
You have to know that it took Vilgax five minutes to capture him, but Luther didn't even have a second!
...Although his initiative to jump into the trap was a big part of the reason, that was obviously also Luther's fault. Who told him to set a trap without any moral principles?
The adult world is still too chaotic. Let's wait until he turns eighteen.
When the Omnitrix finished charging, Benjamin slammed the dial to activate the random transformation mode: "Anyone is fine, no Kryptonians, no Kryptonians—"
The blue-green wings spread out, and a creature with emerald green eyes appeared in the green light, exhaling a cold breath.
"Ice Ghost—awesome!"
Now I won’t be targeted by any villains anymore.
Perhaps drawing Lex Luthor from the non-resident card pool of Blüdhaven had exhausted all of Benjamin's bad luck for the day. During the following night patrols, Benjamin did not encounter any emergencies that could be called urgent.
The emergency situation here also included not seeing the signals sent by Nightwing and Red Hood. Although the workload of the three of them increased a lot tonight, they finally completed the operation without any injuries.
Logically speaking, today's operation could be considered a successful conclusion, but Benjamin noticed that Nightwing's brows were still furrowed. As for Red Hood... Benjamin, who was about to finish work and go home, was a human being, so he couldn't see Jason's facial expression through the red helmet.
Benjamin always spoke his mind. "What's wrong, Nightwing? Did you encounter any difficult cases?"
When Benjamin is in his transformed state, everything he originally carried on his body will... using the academic term provided by No. 666, it is "in a state of ▓ together with the fragile human body."
▓ wasn't censored; when Number 666 spoke, it was in this language they had never heard of. It was said that because the human civilization tree hadn't yet discovered and named this state, and therefore it couldn't be translated into any Earth language, they simply used ▓, Azmis's original Gavin term.
The Omnitrix can use the communication function, but Benjamin has not yet figured out how to connect the Omnitrix to the Earth Technology communication channel. He tried calling Azmis for help, but Azmis ignored him.
Anyway, the result is that after Benjamin transforms, everything he carries on his body will become inoperable, including communication equipment.
It just so happens that Benjamin almost always relies on transformation every time he goes out, so Benjamin is out of touch with the communication channel most of the time when he is out.
This didn't affect Benjamin much. After all, he wasn't a lone ranger. In his own world, he'd always had a partner by his side. After arriving here, he usually worked with Li Hua and Jason. There was no need for communication between the three of them. In special circumstances, when the Bat Family's communication came in, Benjamin could listen in on Li Hua and Jason's communication.
But Bludhaven was in such chaos today that Nightwing, Red Hood and Benjamin had to act separately, so Benjamin missed the communication.
"I guess so." Nightwing said, "Oracle told me that she found out that Lex Luthor is planning to plant his forces in Blüdhaven, and other gangs like the Black Mask Penguin are also ready to make a move."
Desmond had been at the top of Bludhaven for too long. Once he fell, all the powerful people wanted to get a piece of the pie and seize more territory, power and money.
Red Hood: "Forget about Black Mask and Penguin. These guys have been wanting to open a branch in Blüdhaven for a while, but what about Luthor?"
Given that there are ten aliens floating in the sky above Blüdhaven, how likely is it that Luther came here just to conduct business activities?
"Luthor came to see me, or to be more precise, to see my Kryptonian form. I just saw him."
Benjamin pointed in a direction.
"There, he built a warehouse out of lead sheets, filled with red sunbeams and automatic weapons, and lured me there with the sound of someone needing help. He was quite polite, though. Even though he pointed a bunch of weapons at me, he talked to me for a while and then let me go."
“…”
“…”
"Sometimes I really want to lift up your skull and see what's inside your little head."
Red Hood sighed heavily, and Nightwing, his lips pursed into a slit, nodded beside him.
"There are so many flaws in your statement above that I don't even want to finish talking about it... When did you meet Luther? What did he do to you?"
"It was at the beginning of my night patrol tonight. My Kryptonian transformation hadn't finished yet, and I was clearing a case in Blüdhaven when I heard some noise over there, so I went over there," Benjamin said. "He really just spoke to me, asked my name, and we shook hands, that's all."
"Doesn't that mean you met Luther less than half a minute after you separated from us?" Nightwing said, "Why didn't you come and tell us later?"
Benjamin: "Because everything has been resolved, right? And I've told you now."
Red Hood: "Didn't I tell you how dangerous Luthor is to Kryptonians? When you shook hands with him, he might have done something to you and stolen your DNA. In a few days, you might have a hundred more children!"
Benjamin: "At that time, I was in Kryptonian form. Luthor couldn't steal my DNA as an Earthling. He could only get Superman's DNA."
Oh, that's okay.
Red Hood calmed down, and Nightwing's frown relaxed a little.
Anyway, Luthor doesn't need a little Superman DNA, and Superman doesn't need a little clone.
Nightwing: "But why did Luthor just let Ben go?"
Red Hood shrugged, "Who knows, what's inside Lex's head even his hair can't tell."
…
"That sounds interesting."
Li Hua had a bitter face, as frustrated as a student who took a day off and found out he had missed the big melon in the class.
While his friends were soaring in the night, he could only drown in the ocean of knowledge.
Li Hua can't use the excuse that he doesn't understand, because No. 666 can understand, and will try to make the fruit of knowledge into juice to ensure that he can fully absorb it.
Of course, Li Hua knew that if he said directly that he didn't want to learn, No. 666 would not force him. It always did so.
But No. 666 has tried his best and has shown that he cares about this life even more than Li Hua himself. What reason does Li Hua have not to work hard?
At the same time, No. 666 saw how hard Li Hua was studying, and couldn't help but sigh: This kid is working so hard, I can't relax either.
It was this person and the other person who kept fighting for several hours until Jason and Benjamin came back. During this time, they didn't drink a sip of water and the frequency of operation did not stop at all.
Li Hua gently stroked the bandage on his right arm. "When can I go out and join you on night patrol?"
Jason: "At least a week. You can't even use your right hand now, how are you going to fight?"
A week later, Li Hua's injury has almost healed, and the situation in Blüdhaven should be much clearer.
"I can hit people with my left hand. I've practiced it before." Li Hua shook his intact, healthy left hand. "I wanted to imitate others jumping over stairs, but I slipped and broke my right hand. At that time, my right hand was in a plaster cast for over a month. I relied on my left hand to do homework and take exams!"
No. 666: ...
It now has reason to suspect that the reason why Li Hua was always in the hospital in his previous life was not only because of the congenital reason that his magic power was too full and could not be released, which led to physical weakness, but also because Li Hua was not good at it and loved to play.
"How far have you learned? Let me see." Benjamin picked up the latest page of Li Hua's study notebook. "...How to make a fire detonator tube?"
Batman looked quite old-fashioned, but he could actually teach such interesting things. He turned around and went to see what was in his own courseware.
"Lend it to me." Jason took Li Hua's notebook and found that it not only recorded the structure of the fire detonator tube, but also the size of the tube shell, the material of the reinforcing cap, the main charge and the secondary charge... and other details. Li Hua's pen stopped at how to prepare the explosives that could be filled.
Even the composition ratio of black gunpowder appears here.
Jason looked at the process written by Li Hua and swore with his many years of experience dealing with bombs that if he continued to write according to what was written above, Li Hua would really be able to make explosives with his hands and have the basic qualifications to enter Arkham.
The fact that Li Hua could take such perfect notes shows that there was absolutely no water in the courseware that Li Hua saw, and the flowing liquid was all nitroglycerin.
This made Jason a little dazed: "Have Batman's textbooks evolved to this point now?"
He clearly learned how to defuse bombs back then, so does he need to learn how to make bombs from scratch now?
"The Batman tutorial only teaches the basic structure of a bomb and how to defuse it, and it also includes high-definition images and videos for reference," said No. 666. "But Li Hua is worried that if he encounters a bomber in the future, he won't be able to defuse it properly. He came to me for advice and asked if I could show him the VR version on screen."
"Then I showed it to him, but he still didn't quite understand, so I had to teach him more comprehensively."
Jason flipped through the pages. "Isn't this a bit... too comprehensive?"
It even describes in detail how to paste the paper tube of the fire bomb tube, what kind of paper can be used, and what kind of adhesive to use. Not to mention Li Hua, any literate person can probably make a fire bomb tube by hand after reading it.
Turning the page further, one can vaguely see the method of extracting nitroglycerin from animal and vegetable oils, and it even specifically indicates that the peanut oil in their kitchen can also be used.
Next to the peanut oil was the word "Oil-based lubricant," with a question mark above it and a big X running through it, and next to it was the word "Glycerin ratio does not meet the standard."
It seems that the person who wrote this sentence was seriously thinking about whether this thing could also be used to prepare nitroglycerin.
Jason didn't want to delve into the results of this thought. He slowly closed Li Hua's notebook, closed his eyelids, and closed the window of his soul.
"I asked you to do that."
Li Hua said.
"From a probabilistic perspective, the probability of you encountering a bomber is very low, and the probability of encountering two bombers is even lower. So why don't I become the bomber? This way I can reduce the probability of being bombed and turn a passive position into an active one."
Think about that scene: when a bomber claimed that he had a bomb remote control and would detonate the explosives if his demands were not met, Li Hua smiled evilly, stepped forward to protect everyone behind him, ripped open his coat to reveal his full inventory, and presented him with a variation of the classic line from the movie "Titanic" -
You press, and I press too!
"Seeing this scene, he will definitely be stunned, and then I can take advantage of the opportunity to attack him, snatch his remote control and subdue him."
Li Hua excitedly explained his new tactics to his friends. Seeing that Jason and Benjamin didn't respond for a long time, he couldn't help but urge them.
"How is it? Am I a genius?"
"...I remember you had a similar conversation before. It was the night we met Nightwing, but at that time you wanted to show off your magic boy's battle skirt to the street thugs in exchange for the first attack."
Benjamin's green eyes were filled with heavy emotions. He moved his gaze from Li Hua to Jason who had his eyes closed, and spoke slowly.
"And less than a month later, what Li Hua showed turned into a high explosive."
In less than a month, Li Hua changed from a shy high school boy to a shy magic boy, then to a sunny and cheerful magic boy who only cared about numbers, then to a magic daddy who threw shame behind him, and now he has the tendency to become a bomber in the physical sense.
Jason, there is definitely something wrong with your universe!
