Chapter 156 Luther's Back-Up Plan

Luther was almost driven crazy by Bane's torture.

People from Gotham were not normal people, and their brains were a little bit wrong. He knew that if he was caught red-handed here, even he would find it difficult to escape. What's more, if Batman didn't intend to send him to prison, but locked him up first...

Wait, isn't Batman a superhero? Why would he lynch someone? This doesn't seem like his usual practice.

Luther felt a little headache again, and then he was slightly dazed.

Then he blinked and tried hard to shift all his attention back to the problem at hand.

What should I do now?

Bane was lying on the ground like a baby, and the zombie Black had lost control of him and was now a useless corpse.

Luther turned his head and saw that the mud faces that had surrounded him and turned into his appearance smoothly changed to other appearances as Bane fell to the ground, and then rushed up directly.

Luther didn't have time to think about it, and immediately fired a cannon in his backhand, directly blowing away the mud face who had turned into a beautiful woman in front of him. The energy cannon exploded on the two pieces of conscience that Mud Face had transformed without hesitation. He was talking, but his hands were not idle at all.

His goal now was to escape, to escape as much as possible, and he shouldn't waste time on entanglement with Mud Face.

"Get out of here, you dirty piece of trash!" He shouted loudly, raised the energy cannon in his hand again, and killed another Mud Face who had turned into a beautiful woman with four consciences.

He knew very well that Mud Face knew that the combat power of his clones attached to the robot was really limited, and it took too long to gather them all together. When he gathered them together, Luther also ran away, so he did this kind of behavior of deliberately becoming ugly to attract his attention.

If he wasted a second to look at Mud Face, he would lose. Just now, he wasted a second to look at the four consciences, which not only delayed his escape time, but also attracted more mud faces to do the same.

Soon, more consciences appeared in front of him, and there were disgusting scenes that should be mosaiced everywhere.

"Get out of the way! Don't block the way!"

Luther expressionlessly blasted away another mud face that rushed up. He tried his best to control himself from being distracted, and these ugly things couldn't attract his attention.

But among a large number of various consciences, he saw a mud face facing him quickly deformed in his peripheral vision, turning into a wrinkled red-haired man with a drunken camel-red face.

Luther knew the man that Mud Face turned into, his name was Lionel Luther.

This man is... is...

His father.

Luthor's face was gloomy:

"Mudface! Do you think you can disgust me with this?"

The old Luthor who turned into Mudface ignored him and just shouted:

"My son! Where are you going?"

Another Mudface twisted his body and turned into Luthor's biological mother, Leticia Luthor, and shouted: "Your mother is gone!"

Another one turned into his grandfather: "Grandpa is here! Grandpa is here!"

The trend of changing appearances changed quickly, and the Mudfaces rushed to perform a nineteen-generation ancestor show in front of him.

"I'm not angry, I'm not angry..."

Luthor continued to clear the Mudfaces calmly. He had just wanted to fly away directly with the flamethrower on the armor on his feet, but he was soon knocked down from the sky by two conscientious all-* Mudface beauties. Then he realized that if he didn't make these guys lose their combat effectiveness first, he would have no way to fly into the sky under the interception of so many Mudfaces.

And Batman... Luthor didn't forget about him. He saw that Batman's lower body had turned into black smoke, flying quietly beside him, and watched him struggling there.

Luther gritted his teeth, and even he felt a sense of despair. He was so stupid, he shouldn't have run over to save Blake, but now Bane didn't save him, and Blake wasn't found, and this time he was going to fall into Batman's hands.

Luther couldn't help but start to reflect on himself: Why was he so stupid? Why did he have to come to rescue himself? He was so smart, why didn't he use some roundabout methods, but chose the stupidest way to rescue himself? With his IQ, didn't he consider the risks?

Luther was suddenly shocked, he...

Then Luther was in a trance for a while, and got his thoughts back on track.

"Let's not talk about Batman. As time goes by, Superman will definitely find out about my trick of using exoskeleton armor to replace the dead. When he comes, I will... damn it!"

The Luthor family members who turned into mud faces were still making noises beside him:

"Bald!"

Luthor took a deep breath and didn't want to continue to entangle with them.

"Baldy!"

"Boiled egg!"

"My son!"

"Enough!"

Luthor could no longer bear it. He fired a cannon with his backhand, and the mud face dressed as his father shattered immediately. The energy beam hit his head with mixed-colored hair and splashed it like a watermelon.

"Good! My dear grandson——"

The 19 generations of ancestors dressed as mud faces immediately praised him. One by one, the faces that should have only been seen in portraits praised him in front of Luthor:

"So filial, so filial!"

"A real filial son!"

"Enough!"

One is also hit, two is also hit. Luthor raised his hand cannon and fired crazily at the 19 generations of ancestors who were transformed by mud faces until the last drop of energy in the armor was used up.

He sat down a little dazed, watching Batman float to his side.

"I surrender."

Before Batman raised his fist, Luthor, who had lost his armor, said neatly:

"I surrender directly to you."

Chen Tao put down his fist with an unsatisfied look.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw Luther blinking at him three times.

What does it mean?

Chen Tao remained calm and continued to say what he should say: "A wise choice, I will..."

In fact, Luther's choice also surprised him a little. Normally, Mud Face's disgusting tricks can only distract Luther's attention. The reason why Chen Tao has not taken action is that he intends to rely on his deterrent power to prevent Luther from ignoring Mud Face and running away directly. He mainly intends to play a delaying tactic and wait until Superman comes back to join forces with the other party to steadily and carefully pin Luther to death.

But his active surrender is indeed not in line with Luther's usual temperament.

Then Chen Tao saw Luther blink at him three times again, and then shook his chin slightly.

He frowned and suddenly realized what Luther was saying to him:

Come to the cell at 3 o'clock in the evening to find me, not now.

Hiss… Why do I know so much about what the villain wants to say? I am obviously a superhero. Chen Tao suddenly realized this.

He shook his head helplessly, but since Luther had an appointment, he naturally had to go.

He wanted to see what this bold bald man was up to. Anyway, the other party had been caught by him now, so he would naturally let him flatten and twist him, and he was not afraid of any conspiracy.

So Chen Tao bent his middle finger and knocked three times on the forehead of Luther who said he would surrender, as a promise to the other party's riddle. Then he commanded the mud faces to tie up Luther, and used other ropes to tie up Bane and zombie Black. The three villains were locked in a row and fixed there.

It was not until a long time later that Clark returned to the scene carrying a half-scrapped armor.

"Damn Luther, I was fooled by him!" Super Muscle was indignant: "It turns out that I was fighting with an AI for a long time!"

Then he turned his head and asked:

"It's over?"

"It's over." Chen Tao told him: "Luther has been caught, let's go back and talk."

...

...

...

This is Chen Tao's private residence in Metropolis, and it's dinner time now

Alfred asked briskly.

"Master Bruce, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Bruce is different now. In the past, Batman had no dinner, only sandwiches to eat casually, and then injected himself with nutrient solution to maintain the deficit.

Alfred had made dinner for two people countless times, but most of the time Bruce stood him up, and finally had to finish two meals by himself.

But today is different. Alfred finally had the opportunity to prepare a hearty dinner for Master Bruce.

"Try this stewed beef liver over low heat. I used a method taught to me by an old chef. I was 'working' in Argentina that year. Do you know how cheap things are there?"

Alfred kept talking about his military career. Chen Tao almost didn't have the heart to interrupt him.

But he did it anyway.

He tried to bring up the issue during the meal to make the situation more casual. This method worked.

"How many of the people I asked you to find have you found?"

Alfred heard Chen Tao ask: "Tell me the specific people you found."

"Okay."

Alfred sighed, gave up the topic of calf liver, and then pressed twice on the tablet next to him and said:

"First of all, I did find Barry Allen, who you asked me to find, but he had an accident a year ago and is still in a coma. He has been a vegetable for more than half a year."

The first answer made Chen Tao's heart sink:

"But Captain Cold has appeared." He said: "Since Captain Cold has appeared, how can there be no Flash?"

"That's the truth, Master Bruce. Captain Cold has been robbing banks for a long time. Now he just invented his fateful freezing gun and used more high-tech equipment."

Batman heard Alfred say in a very calm tone:

"I investigated Captain Cold by the way and found his information. He has a freezing gun that can turn people into ice sculptures, which is not much different from Mr. Freeze. But there is no Heat Wave or Mirror Master around him, who you mentioned to me. Maybe they haven't appeared yet."

Chen Tao gave Alfred a look to continue.

So Alfred continued to talk:

"You already know the previous Superman, so I won't repeat it." Alfred continued: The superhuman you called Aquaman, we only found his father's lighthouse but he has disappeared, and I don't know where he has hidden.

"Air Force Colonel Hal Jordan has been missing for almost three months."

"Victor Stone just won the gold medal with his team at the sports meet."

Chen Tao became more and more upset as he listened.

Among so many people, no one could come to help him. He didn't dare to force the issue and arbitrarily change the plot on a large scale. What if his intervention caused these people to not get the abilities they were supposed to have? Where would he go to cry?

"And there is Wonder Woman Diana Prince."

Alfred said, "If you want to find someone to help you deal with Brainiac, then I think this princess is definitely a fighting force that cannot be ignored."

Chen Tao thought for a while, then continued, "Okay. So, what has Her Royal Highness Princess Prince been doing all this time?"

"Diana has defeated many opponents in just a few months."

Alfred flipped through the information and said, "Cheetah, Giganta, Silver Swan, it seems that once our Miss Diana arrives in the mortal world, dangerous guys begin to appear in droves."

He closed the information and said, "It seems that Miss Prince is very busy now, but I'm afraid she is the only strongest ally you can find now."

Chen Tao nodded, and a few hours later, he appeared in front of Luther.

This is the secret base where Luther is imprisoned. As Luther expected, Batman did not hand him over to the government or the official.

It is 3 o'clock in the morning. Chen Tao appears in the dark like a ghost, and as expected, Luther is sitting cross-legged on the bed, waiting for his arrival.

"I thought before that Lex Luthor is not the kind of person who will surrender obediently."

Chen Tao spoke first: "So I am here now, Luthor. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Luthor did not speak. After a long while, he slowly raised his head, and his eyes showed a look that was very different from that during the day.

"Brainiac, do you think I don't know their existence? I'm not as stupid as Blake." The bald man blinked: "I realized his existence a long time ago."

Chen Tao frowned. The tone and demeanor of the other party's speech were completely different from those during the day. He deduced a possibility in his mind. No matter how absurd this possibility is, it is indeed the most likely explanation for the current situation.

"You took the initiative to split a secondary personality?" Chen Tao said: "Are you deliberately letting Brainiac erode it?"
