The Death Knell

Yes, the cosmic tuning fork is like a Christmas tree, covered with dazzling gifts. Why save Neptune if you can choose?

In comparison, Martian Manhunter is much more useful.

In the p52 period a long time ago, Martian Manhunter was the core member of the Zhenglian. He was known as the panacea among superheroes, the green-skinned Superman. Bruce said that he was the combination of Batman and Superman, not only possessing abilities but also a mind.

He has all the abilities that Superman has, and he also has those that Superman doesn't have.

For example, through the art of disguise, he can become anyone's appearance by changing his cell structure; and the art of invisibility, where he can use his psychic abilities to change his phase to become invisible or immune to all harm in reality.

His defense, strength, and speed are comparable to Superman, and he also has a terrifying self-healing ability. Even if his head is cut off, a new one can grow.

His psychic power is also very powerful. He can do illusions, hypnosis, possession, thought scanning, thought erasure, mental shields, and thought control. Professor X next door is not as comprehensive as him.

In addition to his vast array of abilities, he can also use his psychic abilities to communicate with any animal, and his ability to talk to fish is firmly superior to that of Neptune.

Not to mention that Martian Manhunter is much stronger in terms of strength, but even in terms of dealing with people, Martian Manhunter is also stronger.

He was originally a policeman on Mars. He was as smart as Batman. After coming to Earth, he worked for the U.S. government for a long time and was very good at thinking and dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Although he looks like a green monster, shriveled up like a green skeleton, he is actually very nice, hardworking, good at cleaning, and good at cooking. During the p52 period, he was responsible for maintaining the daily life of the Hall of Justice. .

So now that there are obvious choices, who wants Aquaman? Farewell.

He picked up the fallen Martian Manhunter and immediately followed Batman and got back into the hole.

Batman put down Cyborg and took a breath. 60% of Cyborg's body was replaced with promethium metal. This amount is much heavier than steel, about two hundred kilograms.

He used his x-metal bat gloves to enlarge the hole a little so that it could accommodate two people walking side by side. When he turned around, he found Su Ming coming back with Martian Manhunter on his shoulders.

"???"

Even if he didn't speak, Su Ming guessed what he was going to say.

Didn’t you agree to save Neptune? How did you save Martian Manhunter?

However, it was really difficult for him to say it. Martian Manhunter was also an acquaintance of the Justice League, and with his physical fitness, he could wake up quickly. If he woke up and found the two of them discussing whether to save him, then Embarrassed.

Batman poked his head out of the hole, intending to save a few more people like ants moving, but Barbatos seemed to notice something. While talking to the silver witch, he looked towards the bottom of the tuning fork from time to time.

Bruce immediately retreated. If Barbatos attacked, they might all be buried alive in the cave.

Su Ming didn't plan to save anyone anymore. As long as he waited for Martian Manhunter to wake up, his new plan could be implemented. Others could be saved by others later.

Martian Manhunter was indeed an alien like a Kryptonian. He woke up quickly and sat up suddenly, breathing heavily.

"Huhu..."

He rubbed his green bald head as if wiping sweat, but his skin had no function of secreting sweat at all. Who knows what he experienced in his dream.

He calmed down quickly, and then looked at Su Ming with kind eyes. Of course he knew Deathstroke, and he knew Deathstroke's style. At such a critical moment, he would definitely stand on the side of protecting the earth.

He planned to use his psychic ability to read some of Deathstroke's memories. They seemed to be in a cave right now, and the situation outside was definitely not good. Direct mind reading would save time for communication.

However, his spiritual power was strangely at a standstill. The death knell was clearly right in front of him, but his brainwaves were empty, as if he had thrown his consciousness into the endless void without any response.

This death knell is like a stone. In short, it is something without thinking or consciousness...

In fact, under normal circumstances, he would not be able to read the memory of Deathstroke, because the biggest flaw in reading memory is that it cannot read the memories of madmen and mentally ill people, which would put a huge burden on his brain, even in an instant seriously injured.

For example, in the clown's mind, there is a big circus jumping around, and everyone is laughing and laughing. They are unable to distinguish effective information at all, and will be led into an unconscious carnival.

In the DC world, in addition to Martian Manhunter, there is also Boston Brand, codenamed "Dead Man", who can read a little bit of Zha Kang's memory and spit it out immediately.

It made the ghosts vomit. If he hadn't died long ago, he would probably die again at that time.

According to him, Zha Kang's brain is full of "dirty, filthy, and unclean things. All the dirty things in the demon's brain combined are not as much as Zha Kang's brain alone."

As a person who lives in darkness, how clean can the things in Deathstroke's brain be? Martian Manhunter still struggled to make up his mind before reading his mind.

It's a pity that Su Ming is an x-metal man now, and his brain is even more protected. Martian Manhunter's mind-reading behavior will inevitably fail. The thing between his psychic power and Su Ming's brain is the origin of the DC world's universe. Martian Manhunter isn't powerful enough to get past this line of defense.

In fact, Su Ming's biggest worry is that when he sees things outside the DC world from himself, he discovers that everyone is a comic book character, so the impact of the real world may cause him to die suddenly...

When Deathstroke's ability failed, Martian Manhunter could only change his mind-reading target to Batman. Batman obviously knew what he was doing, so he just remained expressionless while thinking about some key points in his mind. Information activates its memory and is given to Martian Manhunter unsolicited.

The reason why Martian Manhunter is a hero is that he has great power but is very restrained in order to perfect strict moral standards and demand himself.

He just read the active memory from Bruce and didn't look through it randomly. His reasoning ability had already come up with the answer.

"So, we are having a decisive battle now?"

"Yes, Ron. Deathstroke saved you. He must have made strategic plans for you."

Bruce turned Cyborg over, because he still hadn't woken up. He wanted to find if there was any reset button or power button on Cyborg.

It's not like hitting the wires like stealing a car, right?

Martian Manhunter looked at Deathstroke again. He already knew that the Deathstroke in front of him was not the one he was familiar with. In Batman's view, this Deathstroke was more capable and knew a lot of secret information.

Ron En was a little curious about the reason why his psychic ability failed, but now was not the time to delve into it. He nodded and smiled kindly at Su Ming, and stretched out his green palm to shake his hand.

"Thank you, stranger, for everything you've done for us."

Su Ming smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand. As expected of a man who had worked for the government, his opening made it seem different. He had saved so many people. Apart from the dead Red Death, who had ever said thank you to him?

This made Su Ming feel good. After all, who does something without asking for anything in return? Although money is the main goal, Martian Manhunter is fine with that.

The cost of rescuing Cyborg is another factor. Although I only used a big sword to chop off a few mechanical arms and restraints, it was a move after all...

But forget about the cost of Martian Manhunter's rescue. Su Ming is in a good mood, so this effort will be in vain. As the world's number one mercenary, he is so willful.

"Hello, Ron, or do you prefer others to call you by your earthly name, John?" Su Ming let go of his hand, took off his helmet and faced Martian Manhunter, smiling to show kindness: "Although I also want to chat for a while. , but Barbatos is about a hundred meters above our heads, and we need your help in the next battle."
