Chapter 187 Bat Amusement Park
"The Flash" is definitely up to something; at least Connors has never seen him do anything like this before.
He accelerated his heartbeat to a point where the electrocardiogram (ECG) equipment could no longer detect it, causing the fluctuating lines to become a straight line.
Connors' "Athena's Vision" can easily see through "The Flash's" secrets, and "Batman the Lord" can see through them as well.
But "Lord Batman" doesn't dare to gamble; he's already lost "The Flash" once, and as he said, he can't accept losing him again.
As the surveillance footage showed "The Flash" struggling a few times before his head drooped limply, as if he were truly on the verge of death, "Batman the Lord" couldn't hold back any longer.
"No, no!"
He jumped up from his seat and rushed madly toward the prison area, toward the glass walls of "The Flash's" prison.
Without hesitation, he unlocked the keypad and shouted into the communication system:
"Reed! Reed! Reed!"
The communication system was completely silent; no one paid any attention to him.
"Lord Superman," "Lord Wonder Woman," and "Lord Green Lantern" all went to Earth Zero. At this time, only "Mr. Fantastic" Reed was on Earth Three.
But Reed had vanished without a trace. Not only could they not find the Lord Batman's communication system, but they couldn't even find Connors's telepathy.
"Damn it!"
"Lord Batman" cursed and stepped forward to free "The Flash" from his restraints.
Having just freed one hand from its restraints, the dying "Flash" suddenly looked up and punched "Lord Batman".
Taking advantage of the moment when the "Lord Batman" fell to the ground, the "Flash" swiftly used his free hand to untie the rest of his body.
Then he ran to "Lord Batman," picked him up in no time, and tied him to where he had been standing.
All of this happened in an instant; "Lord Batman" didn't even have time to react before "The Flash" was standing right in front of him.
Looking at the "Lord Batman" with his limbs bound, Earth Zero's "Flash" stood with his hands on his hips and sneered:
"One day you'll thank me."
Without paying any more attention to "Lord Batman," "The Flash" moved and flashed to the outside of "Batman's" glass prison on Earth Zero.
In an instant, a series of rapid, clicking sounds rang out as "The Flash" swiftly pressed the combination lock with one hand, moving so fast that it left afterimages in the air.
"What are you doing?" Batman asked the Flash from inside the prison.
Try all possible password combinations.
"The Flash" kept talking while his hands didn't stop; the "whoosh" of the incorrect combination lock filled the air. Batman silently watched the Flash outside, trying to find the correct combination using brute force, and said:
"91939." (Note 1)
The Flash glanced at Batman suspiciously, then pressed the keypad in the order instructed, and the glass prison door opened easily.
"How did you know?"
"I am him, and he is me. This is the password I've used."
.
Amidst the conversation, "The Flash" released Batman's restraints again, completely freeing the Dark Knight from Earth Zero. He stretched his limbs:
"They've considered the things we've considered; we have to do something beyond what they expected."
The Flash said seriously:
"But our first and second steps were definitely within their expectations: rescue the others and find 'Eagle Girl'."
.
The problem of rescuing people is simple. With Batman around, the glass prison code that holds other superheroes is practically useless to him.
Five minutes later, the rest of the Justice League, except for Hawkgirl, stood together:
"Our problem now is to find 'Hawkgirl,' assess her injuries, and then consider what to do next."
"The Flash," relying on his own courage, once again used the "brute force" method, which had failed with the password, on the computer. He wanted to find "Hawkeye" from all the hospital admission records in this world.
But Batman still stopped The Flash from acting, calmly analyzing the situation:
"We don't have time to waste on this. The 'Lord of Justice' may soon discover the anomaly here, and we need to get there before they return."
"I've noticed that this place was converted from a bat cave, so this is Gotham."
"Hawkeye is in Arkham Asylum."
He said it with considerable certainty.
"Then what are we waiting for? I'm going first." The Flash finished speaking and had already disappeared.
"But you go find 'Hawkgirl,' I have other things to do," Batman said, standing still.
"Shall I go with you?" Hal Jordan asked.
"No, I have to do this myself."
After Batman finished speaking, he ran off in the opposite direction from the others, as if he knew everything about the place.
The others exchanged glances, and "Superman" was the first to fly into the air:
"Destination: Arkham Asylum."
Wonder Woman urges the others:
"We need to hurry—you know, this world's 'Flash' is dead, and there's a high chance something else might happen to Barry."
Without further hesitation, everyone quickly chased after the direction in which "The Flash" had gone.
After they had all left, Connors finally emerged from his ethereal state.
He had two options: one was to follow the Justice League to Arkham Asylum, and the other was to watch Batman to see what he was up to.
Connors wasn't in a hurry. He first took a stroll around the huge Batcave and, unsurprisingly, saw more than twenty "Batman" suits, as well as a separate garage.
The place was packed with all sorts of Batmobiles, but unfortunately, the "Lord Batman" seemed to have been parked for a long time, as almost every car was covered in dust.
Connors treated the Bat Cave like a playground, exploring everything he saw.
During this process, having exited the "virtualized" state, he went back and forth several times inside the glass prison right under the nose of "Lord Batman".
Every time "Lord Batman" seems to have something to say, Connors never gives him the chance.
Only after he had finished exploring everything did he stand in front of "Lord Batman":
"Is your back all set?"
"Lord Batman" stared intently at Connors, the memory of being gay by "Bane" two years ago resurfacing in his mind.
The image of Connors, who used trickery to lock himself in Arkham Asylum two years ago, a double agent in Seaside City, and a troublemaker in Metropolis, gradually overlaps with the image of him two years later.
The restraints on "Lord Batman" opened easily without Connors' help. "Lord Batman" seemed to have anticipated this; he opened the prison's glass door and walked up to Connors.
"Reed and I have found the guy who will destroy our world in the future—the Anti-Monitor."
Note 1: Batman first appeared in 1939.
