Chapter 485 The Cross-Dressing Master, the Person Hidden Behind the Scenes
"so……"
"Tell me about the current situation."
Chen Tao crossed his arms.
"The core issue now is that General Zod doesn't want to play with us anymore," Night Owl said, tapping the armrest beside him.
"He made a deal with Anton Arkansas, willing to use the combat power of the Kryptonian army as a bargaining chip, and join the Antimonitors through the master of the Corrupted Black. Our designated ally has now suddenly become our enemy."
"What is the basis of their mutual trust?" Chen Tao astutely grasped the question: "Why does General Zod believe that the Anti-Monitors will provide his Kryptonian army with a place to stay after this is over?"
"...because of my existence."
Night Owl said, "The Anti-Monitor doesn't care whether General Zuo and the others have truly surrendered to him. Anyway, he has enough power, and sharing some with them is not a big deal. As long as they accept the Anti-Monitor's power, they will never betray him."
Night Owl added, "That's why I didn't become an anti-surveillance voter and remained a normal human being."
"If you're being kept, don't talk about independence," Chen Tao said.
"...That's roughly the idea."
Night Owl felt there was something odd about this description, but he continued, "But with my precedent of having once sided with him and actually preserved my own universe, a foundation of mutual trust was established, and they can then increase their trust in each other on that basis."
"Although things seem to have completely fallen apart, we are not without opportunities. The situation is very complex now."
Nisha Augu said.
Normally, she would enjoy talking nonsense like her father and sister, but the serious situation now seems to have put her out of the mood.
"Oliver discovered that General Zod's million-strong Kryptonian army had not yet taken shape, which meant that his father had not revealed the location of the Pool of Lazarus to Zod, but at the same time, those Kryptonians had not been resurrected in the form of decaying black corpses."
(Note: Oliver is Green Arrow's real name.)
Then she turned to Night Owl and asked, "I'm planning to let Oliver in now."
Night Owl nodded, and soon the door not far away opened, and Green Arrow Oliver, who had been waiting outside, walked straight in.
"Oh my god, hello everyone."
Robin Hood, with his golden goatee, seemed to be in a good mood.
He walked in, somewhat excitedly: "I've wanted to meet you ever since I was in the Justice League in America, Batman. Oh, you know, although that project ultimately fell through, which is a real shame. But now I'm a member of the Justice League, you know that, right?"
He strode over to Batman and said, "I can't believe I'm standing next to Batman!"
"Oliver always dreamed of becoming best friends with Batman," Nisha Augu added from the side.
"But now is not the time to do this, Oliver. Can we build rapport after the meeting?"
"Oh, of course, of course." Green Arrow raised his hands. "Business comes first, you know. I'm just a little excited."
Chen Tao ignored him and touched his chin.
"In conclusion, based on the available intelligence, this suggests that General Zod also failed to reach an agreement with Anton-Akaine."
Chen Tao said, "And this is our opportunity."
"What do you want to do?"
"Night Owl asked."
Chen Tao revealed a sinister smile.
"It's very simple; we simplify complex problems."
He turned to look at Nisha and said, "Wasn't Rayshoraugu trying his best to hide the location of Lazarus Pool from General Zod?"
"Yes, you want to use the pool water as bait to set a trap?"
"No, of course not," Chen Tao said. "We'll just give them the pool water directly; there are no traps."
"What do you mean?" Nisha asked from the side.
"It's very simple. If I were General Zod, I would never allow my own people to be controlled by Anton-Akai. Therefore, I desperately need the water of the Lazarus Pool so that I can maintain my autonomy in battle."
Green Arrow whispers in Nisa's ear:
"If we give him the pool water now, we'll give Zod and Akain the confidence to turn against each other, and then we can stir up trouble between them."
"Looks like you already have a plan, Batman. Remember to take Aquaman Arthur and his wife Mera with you while you're at it."
Night Owl nodded, then said, "I will handle Lord Om's problem."
"In a peaceful manner?"
"Of course."
"I still need Bain."
“He won’t be a problem. After Darkseid took him off the wall, I originally arranged for him to investigate Akain’s matter,” Night Owl said. “And now Akain and General Zod’s matter have become the same thing.”
"So I still don't understand."
Nisha Augu spoke up, "Even if you stir up trouble between them, they won't immediately turn against you. What method do you intend to use to capture General Zod?"
"Hmm, Batman might have some information I don't know," Oliver said, scratching his head. He then turned to Batman. "So, what's your plan?"
Then he saw Batman turn his head and look at him with a very strange expression.
The next moment, Night Owl suddenly jumped up from his seat, pretending to pounce on Oliver. In that instant, as he used this feint to attract everyone's attention, several heavy iron doors closed the entire room.
Almost simultaneously, Batman made a lightning-fast move, grabbing Nisha Augu by the collar before she could react, slamming her against the wall with a thud.
"you!"
"Don't pretend, Ras, I know it's you."
(Note: Ras is the real name of Rashomon.)
Upon hearing Batman call out that name, Nisha Augu looked bewildered.
"What do you mean? Batman, are you kidding me?"
Green Arrow instantly drew his bow and arrow, aiming it at Chen Tao. Then, instinctively, he aimed the bow and arrow at the ground: "What, Ras?"
"Oliver is a smart man, but he's a man, and he doesn't understand you at all," Chen Tao said. "He's controlled by his lower body, his brain is filled with lust, and normally he shouldn't be unable to react."
"What are you thinking, Batman? Let me go! You're going to break my neck!" Nisha Aug said, struggling slightly, but Batman's hand was like an iron clamp around her throat, preventing her from saying a word.
"Hey, I don't know what you're thinking, but if you don't let go, you're going to snap Nisha's neck. You're a superhuman now. Batman, you..."
Oliver Green Arrow was halfway through his sentence when a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face.
"Think about it, Oliver." Then he heard Batman say, "If I were Master Ninja Raikou Augu, and I found out I had an opportunity to control millions of Kryptonians, would I take the risk?"
He said, "You've got it wrong. If General Zod is a leader who cherishes his people, then for him, neither of these outcomes—his people being controlled by the corrupt and dark Anton-Akaine and turned into mindless, decaying corpses, nor being driven to utter madness by the Lazarus springs—is acceptable."
"That's why Oliver discovered that General Zod hadn't done anything; he was wavering between several options."
"Therefore, we can immediately deduce that Nisa is lying. She is trying to lead us to believe that General Zod has completely sided with Anton-Akain. She is trying to induce us to help her attack General Zod. Then I can almost predict what will happen next."
"Between two evils, choose the lesser. With just General Zod and his two men, he can't possibly stop Batman, so there's only one option left for General Zod," Night Owl calmly said from the side.
"That's right. Rather than letting his people be controlled by the rotten black Anton Akain, that man-eating monster, it would be better to just immerse them in the Lazarus Spring. At least even if his people go mad, General Zod would still have a chance to find a way to turn them all back into normal people."
But if they've become rotting corpses, trying to snatch them from Akane, especially since Akane has already sided with the Anti-Watchers, will undoubtedly be much more difficult.
"But what if submerging in the pool isn't a good idea? What if someone has the ability to manipulate the pool and control those resurrected, crazed Kryptonian warriors?"
"What if it's all a trap, and someone is hiding behind the scenes, trying to scheme against General Zod and Akane all at once?"
Nisha lowered her head, half of her or his pretty face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see what expression was on her face.
"I still am, but..." Green Arrow stammered incoherently.
"Someone who looks like a victim. Someone who looks like they need our help. I will never forget that my mentor, Rashomon Augu, was a top-tier, dangerous villain. He wouldn't be so easily defeated by General Zod."
Green Arrow was nearly going crazy. His intelligence had made him realize something was wrong, but he was still struggling to accept it emotionally.
"But I don't quite understand why you're attacking Nisa... Her father and sister were captured by General Zod. You think she's the mastermind? You think she orchestrated all of this? That's impossible. Nisa doesn't have that ability. She..."
"She rekindled your old flame last night, and you were all whispering sweet nothings to each other, weren't you?"
Chen Tao sighed: "That's enough, Oliver. Stop embarrassing yourself. Even if you have superhuman intelligence and planning ability, when it comes to women, your brain turns into a white paste, like it's filled with semen."
"You always think General Zod needs the water of Lhasaru Pool, and you think he has found a way to get his people into the Lhasaru spring without them going mad. But is it possible that General Zod has no way to keep his people from going mad, and that he already has the Lhasaru spring water, but just doesn't want to use it?"
"You've fallen into a mindset of habit, which has almost destroyed all your intelligence. All your analyses and conclusions are the result of being led astray, and now the person who led you wants to lead us as well."
Chen Tao rubbed his temples:
"But he misjudged one thing..."
"You have no feelings for my daughter, detective. I truly grieve for my daughter."
Nisha Augu spoke, but his voice was no longer a melodious female voice; instead, it became a deep, hoarse male voice, like the sound of a rusty blade on a sharpening table.
"And you're different from before... like a completely different person. Or rather, you've become a completely different person. Can a person really change that much?"
In this world, only one person calls Batman a detective:
Batman's mentor, Talia Augu's father, the Demon Lord, and the Ninja Master Raikou Augu!
"You used some kind of magic to possess your own daughter's body," Chen Tao said. "It's a very profound ancient magic. Many people think you're a warrior, but they've always overlooked the fact that your research into magic is just as deep as your research into philosophy."
Green Arrow was practically petrified.
With his last glimmer of hope, he asked, "Then...then last night..."
"You and him...?" Chen Tao blinked. He had initially thought they had only exchanged sweet nothings. But now it seemed that that alone wasn't enough to make Oliver, the Green Arrow, fall head over heels in love.
He said, "Although it's just my guess that he used ancient magic to possess my daughter's body, based on common sense, if Ras has already allowed himself and Talia to be kidnapped by General Zod, then I'm pretty sure that the person you were with last night was definitely Ras, not Nisha."
Green Arrow is almost broken.
Chen Tao ignored poor Oliver. If he had any resentment towards Oliver before, it had vanished now.
"Aren't you going to catch up, detective? My daughter's unusual infatuation with you has led to this. I thought you would at least be a little worried about Talia when you heard she was kidnapped. In that respect, you are far less kind-hearted than Oliver."
So you deserve to be fooled by your cross-dressing, especially since you used your own daughter's body.
Chen Tao remained silent. He knew that, like Batman, the Ninja Master must have a Plan B to use if the original plan failed.
As expected, Lei Xiao Augu spoke up very quickly:
"Alright, you've discovered all that, detective. You did it."
"But you still can't deal with General Zod. You need my help."
Chen Tao had to admit that the old bastard was right, and he waited for what the other party would say next.
"You need General Zod and Anton-Kane to sever ties; you need his million-strong Kryptonian army to become your fighting force."
"You don't know the location of Lhasaru Pool, but I do, and I've already deduced it..."
"It wasn't you who deduced it, but you who led it to be."
"Yes, detective, and I have already guided General Zod to attack which Lazarus Pool next. He will believe that the water in that pool is different from the others, and that it can revive his people in a state of sanity."
"Our attack will force General Zod to unleash the Kryptonian fighting power against us without verification."
Chen Tao said:
"If we show up there, General Zod will start feeding Kryptonites to protect himself. And those Kryptonites will all obey your orders."
"If you don't go, I will guide Anton Akai to go, and the result will be the same. The only hidden danger is that Akai might expose my lie about the special pool and then use the power of the Corrupted Black to make a deal with General Zod."
The Ninja Master said, "Akan has been confirmed as a lackey of the Anti-Monitor. Letting him control those Kryptonians is far more dangerous than letting Zoldyck control them."
"So you still don't want to give up the idea of using those pools of water to control the Kryptonians, therefore you have to bring us into the game to balance Anton-Kain's power."
Chen Tao said, "Okay, let's go then."
He smiled and said, "Rass, let me teach you... There's more than one solution to this problem."
