Chapter 274 A Russian Doll-Style Backstab: Batman Holding Wonder Woman's Buttocks with His Face
"Mechanical Superman, your objective is to capture Billy Batson's father, C.C. Batson, who is a spy infiltrated among us."
Chen Tao calmly assigned tasks, his expression exactly the same as when Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman first entered.
Sitting next to Batman, Martian Manhunter listened intently to Batman's words, trying his best to keep a straight face. If it weren't for the clock on the wall changing, he would have thought he had traveled back two hours.
"...That spy has been lurking among us all along...incredibly cunning and utterly evil. Only this method...can capture him...so this is the plan..."
"The league has decided that you will be the one to capture and execute CC Batson."
Chen Tao said, "When the time comes, you, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl will strangle C.C. Batson from behind, while Martian Manhunter will take control. You'll be able to catch the mechanical... cough, C.C. Batson in no time. It's simple and straightforward."
Supergirl was also trying her best to keep her facial expressions in check.
This passage sounds so familiar! It's like they just changed a person's name, not a single word!
Chen Tao patted the mechanical superhero on the shoulder: "Mars Manhunter will directly become the seat that C.C. Batson sits on."
Then he paused again, and then, in a very natural, matter-of-fact, extremely serious, casual, and premeditated tone, said:
"And I'll become the spot under Wonder Woman's butt."
Diana's eyes widened in surprise.
From the moment she left until now, she has been sitting quietly to the side, eating melon seeds, without uttering a single English word.
Even when Martian Manhunter was visibly stiff, Wonder Woman maintained an attitude of "I scoff, you're just making a fuss because you don't understand Batman."
But isn't something a little off now?
Huh? Huh?
But Chen Tao seemed completely oblivious to this, continuing without pausing for a single word: "With five people working together, we can capture old Batson alive in one go. I guarantee he won't be able to escape."
Martian Hunter: !
No wonder, no wonder.
No wonder only Green Lantern Hal was "too busy to attend"; he was just thinking, "Look..."
Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Cyborg, C.C. Batson, Batman—this already surpasses the four people they initially selected.
Initially, only four people were called to handle the matter. However, one of the four had to go to do another task, resulting in a personnel change that increased the number of people to six. Wouldn't this be like trying to hide something obvious and arouse suspicion?
So that's what was waiting for all along.
It must be said that this was an excellent strategic plan. As a Martian, Martian Manhunter can shapeshift at will, and Batman obviously also possesses shapeshifting abilities. The two of them are the only members of the alliance who possess both shapeshifting abilities and formidable combat power.
Moreover, this is also a very good counterintuitive combat plan. Normal people would not think that the seat under their buttocks would suddenly attack their buttocks, but would pay more attention to the person sitting next to them.
Batman himself has also become a seat, which means that "Batman" has disappeared during the mission. This will also greatly reduce the traitor's vigilance, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Perhaps we can swallow it beforehand..."
Martian Manhunter quickly corrected himself halfway through his sentence, almost revealing the kryptonite: "Some items specifically designed to suppress CC Batson's magical transformation, weakening its power."
Then he looked at Wonder Woman Diana: "And then Diana will use the Lasso of Truth to tie it up. Now I know why you brought Diana along. Every member will play a role."
"Yes," Chen Tao said seriously, "a meticulous and detailed plan, with every step interconnected."
The phrase "interlocking" refers to the fact that spies have their own targets to betray.
However, no one noticed the double entendre at the moment. Chen Tao continued, "Mechanical Superman, you're also a veteran member of the alliance, and you've done a lot of good deeds for the people."
Actually, it's about building reputation.
Chen Tao continued, "It was precisely because I knew this matter was extremely horrific that I chose the person I trusted most to help me take action."
Wonder Woman had originally intended to voice her objections, but was unexpectedly silenced by the previous two phrases, "meticulous and detailed, with each step intricately linked." She was now sitting in her seat, staring at Chen Tao with her big, blinking eyes.
Chen Tao pretended not to see it.
The mechanical superhero remained expressionless, but his mind was constantly weighing the options.
Normally, he would immediately consult with the other spy, Supergirl, but with Batman right in front of him, he wouldn't risk communicating with Supergirl by any means, so he made his own decision.
He's going to deal with C.C. Batson just like Batman said.
Yes, that's right. Although the Mite has long since pledged allegiance to Darkseid, the two even joined forces to play a fraudulent game. They have now tricked the Outsider into revealing the location of the Father Box. Once they gain access to this thing, they can send Darkseid directly to Earth, without needing to care whether the Outsider originally had no intention of attracting Darkseid at all.
The key point is that the parent box is now easily accessible, and the value of the mite is no longer that great.
Once Darkseid arrives on Earth, everything will be over.
The Mite was foolish enough to expose his own spy, but he was different.
He was clever; he didn't expose himself.
If using an exposed spy to further deepen Batman's trust in him would be a worthwhile deal.
On the other side, Supergirl also remained expressionless, her mind constantly weighing the options.
After being controlled by Darkseid, Supergirl became a machine that acted entirely for Darkseid's benefit, and thus made choices that best served Darkseid's interests.
The mechanical superhero has undoubtedly been exposed, and in this situation, it's better for one person to be exposed than for both of them to be exposed.
Batman, despite his cunning and scheming, ultimately overlooked his own potential. His yearning for a superior Robin clouded his judgment and logical thinking, leading to this critical oversight.
The Mite and the Mechanical Superman were foolish enough to expose their spy identities, but she was different.
She was clever; she didn't expose herself.
If using two exposed spies can further solidify Batman's trust in him, then it's definitely a worthwhile deal. Whether it's C.C. Bardson or Cyborg Superman, they'll ultimately be her scapegoats.
So Supergirl ultimately didn't try to save Cyborg, and Cyborg didn't try to save C.C. Batson.
Having dealt with both the Supergirl and the Mecha Superman, Chen Tao turned to look at Wonder Woman, who was sitting there in a daze.
"Diana".
no response.
"Diana".
Wonder Woman jolted: "Uh, ah, um... is it my turn to ride you now?"
"...Of course not."
Chen Tao said, "Listen to me, when CC Batson arrives, you sit in the pilot's seat. You don't need to fly the ship; just pretend. Then... like this... and then like this..."
"I will guide you through the entire performance," Chen Tao said. "I'm confident you can do it."
5: 00.
CC Batson is here.
Unlike Supergirl and Mechaman, two spies whose wills were completely altered, CC Batson has lost all self-awareness under the influence of magic, and his actions are actually entirely controlled remotely by the Mite.
This is why, after seizing a portion of Shazam's power, Chen Tao was certain he could interfere with the Meditation Mite through magic.
The connection between CC Batson and Mite is far stronger than that between Darkseid and Supergirl.
Mechanical Super and Supergirl are like brainwashed NPCs. Although they fight for Darkseid's interests, they generally have their own brains.
But CC Batson is just a puppet, the kind that moves only when a string is pulled by a mitten mite.
Therefore, Chen Tao knew that on the surface he was facing Billy's father, but in reality he was facing the Meditation Mite from thousands of miles away. Thus, this last step was the most crucial.
Previously, the reason for not moving the opponent was to avoid alerting them. Now that everything is ready, the final battle will be ignited by our own hands. Before that, it is the perfect time to eliminate all hidden dangers.
As soon as the Mite of Meditation, controlling CC Batson, entered, he saw everyone staring at him.
The spaceship stopped in the hall of the Batcave. The cockpit door was open, and Wonder Woman sat in the cockpit that originally belonged to Batman, with Supergirl standing beside her and Superman sitting next to them.
"Batman has an emergency and can't participate in this mission, so I'm in charge of everything now."
Diana was instantly immersed in the role. She endured the strange sensation of the seat beneath her, which was made up of Chen Tao's nanobot body, and let the nanobots attached to her face influence her expressions.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get in."
So CC Batson got into the passenger seat.
Diana extended her fingers, relaxing her muscles as much as possible, allowing the nanobots that Chen Tao had left on her body, which had blended into her skin color, to move her arm and manipulate a whole bunch of instruments that she herself couldn't understand.
The hatch closed, and the elevator below the spaceship continued to rise, quickly pushing them into a tunnel that automatically appeared in the ceiling and heading towards the ground.
"Green Lantern Hal couldn't participate because of something, so this time it's the four of us, and I'm leading the team."
As Diana spoke, another question kept running through her mind.
Even the way she speaks and the subtle movements of her throat are now being controlled by the nanobots that Batman has attached to her body. So, is she now completely enveloped by Batman?
What about the nanobots attached to her lips? Can they be considered part of Batman's body?
Although Diana's mind was wandering, she never stopped talking:
"When we passed through sector 1083, he asked us to stop at that market... You know, I've forgotten the name for now, an interstellar market. Hal asked us to help him buy some parts, so apart from stopping there, we were basically on the road most of the time."
Beneath Wonder Woman's buttocks, Chen Tao's face supported her hips, his expression serious.
What he said while manipulating Wonder Woman was certainly not nonsense; no matter how much he said, everything revolved around one core principle:
See? Everything is normal.
However, C. Batson, manipulated by the Mite, was not completely fooled by this illusion, nor was he distracted by Wonder Woman's words.
He turned to look at the mechanical superman sitting behind him: "Seriously, is this necessary?"
He said in a joking tone, "Come on, I heard you're Superman, capable of breaking through the atmosphere with your bare hands, and your mechanical half doesn't require you to be in a spaceship. I originally thought you wouldn't be sitting inside the spaceship leaving Earth with us, but would be waving to me from outside."
Chen Tao immediately realized that the Mite was somewhat suspicious. On the surface, he had asked, "Why doesn't the Mechanical Superman fly?", but the subtext was actually only one thing:
"Is it really necessary to take a spaceship? Aren't there any more convenient methods?"
However, he didn't ask so directly. He first used the question of a mechanical superhero flying to frame it, and then wrapped it up again with a joking tone, but the essence of the question remained the same.
Chen Tao knew that if he tried to brush it off at this point, it would be bad, so he immediately interrupted his chance to continue his imagination.
"Haha, this is a newbie's idea, Mr. Batson. Each of the four of us can physically fly off the Earth. But what's that saying? 'If you have the chance to ride a mule, don't walk.' The Alliance is busy, the trains and planes have all been taken, so we can only ride mules, but it's still better than walking."
That means: Look, all the things in our alliance that can enable fast space travel have been used by Batman to do other more important things. Didn't you see that even Batman himself wasn't on this mission? Having a spaceship capable of space jumps is already great! Don't look down on "Mule"!
Using the analogy of mules, airplanes, and trains, Chen Tao temporarily dispelled the doubts of the mites. He then quickly manipulated Wonder Woman to pull a lever, giving the mites no time to continue thinking.
"Let's go—have you ever built a spaceship capable of directly ascending into space and defying Earth's gravity?"
With a deafening roar, the spaceship emitted a thunderous sound.
Meanwhile, Chen Tao, controlling Wonder Woman, revealed some information that was sure to grab the attention of the Mite of Darkness: "You know what a lightning rod is, right? It's a machine that can drain the Speed Force—that's what we're going to do this time—"
This tone was carefully crafted by Chen Tao. It wasn't overly intimate, even carrying a hint of politeness and a businesslike manner. This was consistent with how one would treat an unfamiliar work partner, but without being overly demanding, otherwise it would have aroused suspicion.
The key is to create a sense that everything is normal.
"Most people in the League have their own missions, you know, a big battle is imminent, and Batman always has a plan."
Chen Tao manipulated Diana into muttering about his future plans:
"Once this is all settled, I plan to take a good rest and go back to Paradise Island... Mr. Batson, have you considered taking Billy out to make up for it?"
"Um, me?" CC Batson hadn't figured out how to reply yet, and Diana's topic kept changing under Chen Tao's manipulation: "Hey, buckle up. Even though we can withstand acceleration, if we accidentally fly out and crash into the spaceship, we'll really have to walk to Ismot... You should know how far that is, even teleportation magic can't reach it."
Diana rambled on, feeling Chen Tao's nanobots applying force to her face from various points, and the strange feeling in her heart grew stronger.
Chen Tao, however, was completely absorbed. Manipulating others to speak in this way would require a considerable amount of computing power.
He manipulated Diana into saying so many things so that she would mistakenly believe that Wonder Woman had a place in the League's future plans and life, and that he would then naturally assume that today was a safe day.
The spaceship flew into the vast expanse of space.
6: 00.
After several wormhole jumps, they had been traveling through the vast universe for nearly an hour.
The advantage of a long distance is that it makes the target feel safe, which is a classic tactic for killing someone on the way.
7: 00.
They arrived at the interstellar market mentioned earlier and bought several parts as previously discussed.
All of this is constantly creating a certain feeling for the meditation mite.
Look, I'm still helping Green Lantern.
Everything's normal today, right?
8: 00.
During the several-hour journey, they gradually became familiar with each other.
Wonder Woman mentioned that she had just heard at the intergalactic marketplace that there were some things she wanted to buy at another marketplace outside two other star systems.
They could stop, buy something, and then continue on their way; that wouldn't take up much of their time.
See, everything is normal, right?
9: 00.
"We've arrived," Wonder Woman said to C.C. Batson. "You three wait for me a little longer; I'll be right back after I buy some things."
Look, I, Wonder Woman, even disobeyed Batman's orders to do our errands and secretly stopped at another intergalactic market to buy things.
You see, everything seems normal, right?
look……
Are you still watching?
Just as Wonder Woman was about to disembark from the spaceship, and Mite, controlling C. Batson as usual, was in that most relaxed moment.
The mechanical superman suddenly grabbed his neck from behind.
Yay, I found my boyfriend again!
