Origin of all things Arkham

Faced with such an absurd and abnormal situation, for some reason, everyone suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Lynn, it's normal.

... There are ghosts! !

"Lynn! Why...you are..."

Diana, who was always calm and decisive, started to speak clumsily, and walked up to Lynn in a few steps, pointing to the fire on the ground, looking like she wanted to ask something, but she didn't say anything.

"Oh, don't worry."

Lynn didn't look surprised at all, just like any time he met everyone before, with a gentle smile on his face, he patted Diana on the shoulder, walked aside, and sat down.

"I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask me, it's okay, we have plenty of time."

"Lynn, we're out of time."

Superman also took a step forward, standing beside Diana: "I think, you definitely know better than anyone what kind of situation we are facing right now.

Lynn, what do you think. "

"I?"

Lin En seemed to be stopped by the question, the hand holding the wine glass stopped in the air, and it took a long time to bring it to his lips.

"Me, I'm just thinking...it would be great if there was a bowl of egg fried rice."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing suspicion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.

This is not quite right.

From the very beginning, Lynn was the one who was most nervous and fearful of this incident.

He barely concealed this, and Batman and Martian Manhunter, including Diana who dealt with Hades with Lynn last time, knew that Lynn had been guarding against a possible "future", guarding against the being He chanted "Iron Chin" on his lips.

But now, how does Lynn...

"Okay. Then I'll listen. What do you have to say."

The calmest one is actually Batman.

As early as when there were some clues to this incident, Batman had already realized that something was wrong with Lynn, and he had been guarding against Lynn.

However, he still doesn't know exactly what Lynn did and what he was thinking.

Maybe, today he will know.

……

As Batman sat on the stone beside him, looking like he was listening attentively, Superman and Diana seemed to realize something, their expressions became serious, they quietly found a place and sat down.

Neptune realized that there seemed to be something... wrong at the scene, but he couldn't think of a solution, and he didn't really want to solve it himself.

What a joke, ever since Arthur inspired his Atlantean royal bloodline, he has had few rivals, but who are these people sitting here now! ?
Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman!Lynn!

When these people get together, why does Sea King want to stand out.

So, with his neck stuck, Neptune looked indifferent, anyway, you are all big brothers, you have the final say, if you want to fight, you can fight, if you want to talk, then talk.

Sitting directly on the ground, Neptune held the trident, paddling on the floor as if he was idle and bored.

As for the rest of the Green Lantern and Cyborg, they were obviously touched, but they also didn't dare to make any movements. They just closed their mouths, and quietly stood at the two corners of the door.

It seemed that everyone's positions seemed to surround Lynn by the fire.

"Lynn."

It was Batman who still spoke: "You can speak now."

"Ha, why do I feel like you are interrogating a prisoner?"

Still laughing and laughing, Lin En turned over the barbecue with a smile, and with a smile in his eyes, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.

"Okay. As expected of the Justice League, no one is avoiding my gaze."

"Lynn, where did the people from Apocalypse go?"

"You think I hid them?"

"Lynn!"

"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

Taking out a knife, he cut off a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth. Lin En leaned back and said vaguely: "Probably, I should go to the city to find the mother box."

Hearing the mother box, Diana asked eagerly: "Then where did you put the mother box? Who owns it now?"

"Cat. Didn't you notice that the little cat is not here?"

that cat?that angel?

"She can beat that Apocalypse..."

"No."

Superman interjected: "Absolutely can't beat it. Lynn, do you have any other plans?"

"Uh... yes. I called Fiora once, she should be willing to help me with this."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fiora was a real Kryptonian fighter, one of the people with the highest individual combat effectiveness on the entire planet.

However, Batman still sat there motionless, looking at Lynn.

"Lyn, what do you want to do? Fiora and the cat you raise are willing to protect the mother box, but they certainly don't want to protect the public."

"Well, you have to be smart."

Lynn gave a thumbs up: "Hey, protect the people... This sentence is very interesting to say.

I went to Ron's place to do a day's odd job before, and I came into contact with some very interesting data.

Guess, whenever this kind of thing happens, this kind of situation affects everyone, ordinary people, and the powerful, what is the loss ratio of the two parties? "

Once again, Lynn looked around at the crowd, except for the steel bone who hesitated to speak, everyone looked at him with a serious face and looked at him motionlessly.

"The answer is very interesting, Cyborg, you should know it. Make a statistic?"

Cyborg was silent.

"Look, it's like this again. Every time, you come over in a hurry and want to ask me something, want to argue with me, and become dumb when you get to the point.

What do you say, old bat? "

Batman felt that he had already guessed Lynn's thoughts and plans, and he was indeed shocked, shocked that Lynn was so crazy.

"Then have you ever thought about how many innocent people will die in your plan?"

"Eh?! Why is this my plan, brother, don't wrong the good guy."

Lynn seemed anxious: "Whether it's Apocalypse or the parallax monster last time, it has nothing to do with me.

Just this time, do you think they will not attack humans, or that I ordered them to attack humans, right? "

"But you guide them to the city! Go to the most densely populated place!"

"Wrong. Still wrong."

Lynn seemed to see Batman angry for the first time, and it was rare for the old Bat to be more anxious than him now.

"First. There is no distinction between city and country, man and animal, land and sea.

What Apocalypse wants is the whole earth.Do you understand?

Second, no matter what you do or don't do, the people on Apocalypse don't care. Even if you kill all those people this time and kill Steppenwolf, it will be useless.

The mother box is still there, Darkseid is still alive, this problem has always existed, and the innocent people you speak of are always in danger.

Third, since someone is innocent, who deserves it? "

Pointing behind him: "As you can see, Apokolips is eating away at the earth. They are moving very fast. At their speed, they will soon bring a lot of demonoids and attack America directly, eh! Don’t ask me why it’s America, because the remaining two mother boxes are in America.

Then, now, you come and tell me, come and answer me a question. "

Lin En held his chin and looked at Batman: "Where are you going to hide these two mother boxes?"

In a word, Batman stopped.

Lynn was right.

What they are facing now is an enemy with the power to sweep the entire universe. Wherever the mother box is placed, they will inevitably face the enemy in the end. Even if Superman or Green Lantern throws them into the deep space of the universe, it is tantamount to directly into the hands of the enemy.

On Earth, it's even more the same.

So... humans do come under attack, it's just a matter of where and when.

And he, Batman, really doesn't have the qualifications to decide whoever dies first is eligible to avoid the initial shock.

It's not about one country, one race, one gender or one age.

This is a group, the life and death of a human group.

"so……"

Batman's voice was a little dry: "That's why you are so eager to keep those two mother boxes. You have thought about today since then, and you have decided to let some people die first."

"Well...it's still wrong."

Lynn shook his head and looked at everyone with a smile: "I'm not that interested in being a hero, and I don't want to interfere in these things and decide the fate of so and so.

If I remember correctly, I seem to have given some people advance notice. "

Lynn looked at it: "Ron En didn't come. Ha, he was afraid to see me, he didn't dare to face me.

Because through him, I relayed this crisis to the big shots a few days ago.

As a result, guess what? "

Snapped!
Lynn clapped his hands: "The people's right to know is gone again! Those people are running faster and better than the other. In my opinion, they may not die until you and Clark are dead. , maybe even be a translator for Darkseid...

Oh, I misunderstood, no, Darkseid can speak English.Hahahahahaha! "

Lynn used to be like this too, inexplicably, he would suddenly get excited and be amused by a joke that only he knew well.But this time, everyone felt a little... heavy.

"But you still can't do that."

Batman still stands by his point.

"I understand. Because of the law, because of justice. But, Brook Wayne, my friend.

Law and justice require you to go to jail.

Did you forget.

You, you, you...you.

You are all criminals. "

Lin En pointed everyone one by one with his fingers: "Your justice and your laws are inherently flexible, but you dare not look at me now because you know and understand these.

You already understood, each of you knew very clearly in your heart, you know that those people are not innocent, but what are you doing, for...stability?
Some people are persecuted because of them, you go to solve it, and then what?
Then there are people who are persecuted.

Old bat, I remember, when we first met, we seemed to talk about these things.

People you throw into prison are still criminals after they get out.If you don't kill them, you are an accomplice! "

This is the first time that Lynn, who has always been joking, has spoken so bluntly and bloodily.

After the words were finished, except for Neptune and Diana, the rest of the people were a little afraid to look up.

"But, I still insist on my justice."

At this time, Superman spoke: "I firmly believe that the justice in my heart has made me who I am today. No matter how many times I do it again, no matter what happens, I will still be who I am today.

Lynn, do you believe that I am willing to pay the price of my life for the justice in my heart? "

Believe me, of course I do.

"It's useless, brother, you won't die."

"what about me."

Batman also said: "I believe you will not doubt whether I have the courage to say the same thing, nor will I underestimate my dedication to justice in my heart."

"But, this is the most helpless and sad thing." Lynn looked into Batman's eyes, stood up, and slowly looked around at the others: "You can't die easily. Because our world will always be There is another crisis.

This time, you are dead, what about the next time.

If the thief comes, I will die!Sounds familiar...

Have integrity, have persistence!Well done!
But it didn't work.You can't die.

For those people, for your justice, you also know that you cannot die. "

Lin En's words silenced everyone again.

"You are wrong."

However, the hardness of Batman's mind is obviously different from that of normal people.

"If I fought, if I died for what was right in my heart, then I have no regrets.

In this world, there are too many things that I can't do, I just do what I can do well, that's enough. "

Clap clap!This time, Lynn applauded sincerely, without ridicule.

"Well said. That's about it. That's it. We've reached a consensus."

"Lynn, you just mentioned when we first met, when we first met.

I remember, I also once said something to you. "

"for example."

"For example, I don't know what you are going to do, maybe your approach runs counter to mine, but until I see the result, I cannot deny that you are wrong.

Also, you can't prove me wrong until I die. "

After speaking, Batman also stood up: "The words have been said here, I believe that you must have your plan, your method, to solve this crisis.

As before, I don't agree with your approach, but I won't stop you.

I will continue to try and fight in my own way.

Lynn, I just want to understand now why you are never willing to join the Justice League, why you are never willing to admit that you are a hero, and why you always act like everything doesn't matter.

Because you don't want yourself to be unable to do so at this time.Is it right. "

"Correct."

Lin En smiled and nodded, his body was still slowly emitting a dazzling golden light, with faint armor lines emerging from the glow of his body.

"So, the next thing is obvious."

"Ah."

In the blank expressions of Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Cyborg, Superman and Diana sighed silently, and stood beside Batman, opposite Lynn.

"You think you're right, I think I'm right, words and rhetoric still can't convince each other, and you know, I won't let you just leave here and go back to be that good old man.

so……"

Lin En slowly pulled out his star cross sword from the "palm", raised the sword, and pointed it at his old friends.

"Easy. Let's fight. Whoever wins, just listen to him."
