I want to have a date with Superman

"Do you know where Barry is?" Harley asked.

"I don't know, but if I search one by one, I can always find traces of him in 51 parallel universes." Bart said.

Black Iris immediately said: "You are still a child, don't be impulsive! The danger that can hurt Barry will definitely hurt you."

Although Bart is a white man and the grandson of White Iris, Black Iris also has the same affection for him.

"But we can't do nothing, right?" Bart said anxiously.

Black Iris looked at Harley with eyes full of expectation and pleading.

Harley pondered: "Wait a minute, no one can tell whether Barry has been killed or is stuck in a world with a huge time gap.

When he disappears for more than 24 hours, we will officially add him to the 'missing persons list'. "

It had been less than 12 hours since Barry disappeared, and she was a little anxious, but not too worried.

——Even if she was really dragged down by her bad luck, the worst she could do was go to the Speed ​​Force space to free Barry.

"If Barry encounters difficulties, won't the 12 hours of waiting delay the best rescue time?" Bart said.

Sissoko said distressedly: "The problem is, even if we want to rescue him, we have nowhere to go!"

"Harry will definitely be able to think of a way." Black Iris said very confidently, but the eyes he looked at Harley were full of anxiety.

"Wait until 24 hours have passed." Harley said solemnly.

No matter what method she has, she needs other people to take risks. If a new accident occurs, but Barry runs back by himself, who does it belong to?

Black Iris had no choice but to endure the uneasiness and continue to wait.

Bateman glanced at the noisy laboratory and frowned: "Barry's search for Ray Palmer should have been a strictly confidential matter. Now too many people know about it, but there is no news about Ray Palmer."

"Well, I understand that the more people who know about it, the easier it is to be exposed, but some people can't stop it." Harley glanced at Black Iris and whispered.

If she fooled Barry's family with such a relaxed expression, and something happened to Barry, she would most likely be resented to death.

"What's the result of your investigation into the Orion murder case?" She asked to change the subject.

Bateman took out a silver metal box from the pouch of his universal belt.

It is about the size of a lunch box and emits a faint glow of energy.

Harley recognized it at a glance. The box was made of promethium alloy.

Not only did American soldiers benefit from stealing the mines, but at least everyone in the upper echelons of the United States enjoyed it.

She purchased a lot of promethium metal from the military, and Wayne Group's share was smaller than hers.

Even Candak Mining Company has a stake in Wayne Group.

Bateman is never short of the metal promethium.

But people around the world only talk about "Galaxy Admiral stealing mines", and no one has ever denounced Wayne Group, and Bateman has never been associated with mining theft.

"This is the bullet that killed Orion."

Bateman opened the silver metal box, revealing a dark bullet with dark brown rust spots inside.

"It looks very ordinary." As soon as Harley released her mental power, she immediately realized that it was extraordinary.

She now has several divinities. As the God of War in Heaven, she has the divinity of the God of War. Taking a beating to upgrade and increase defense is recognized by the DC Universe as a kind of practice. She has obtained the "Thick-Skin Law" and has the divinity of Thick-Skin.

These divinities will contaminate her spiritual power.

As soon as the mental power now stained with weak divinity came close to the bullet that looked very ordinary, it was immediately like a feather falling in a stove, annihilated into nothingness before it made full contact.

Harley directly lost a ray of spiritual power and spiritual divinity.

"Shit, you really found it. The divine toxin on the bullet is so strong!"

Harley's expression changed slightly, and she immediately activated her defense expertise to prevent the strange power from spreading along her mental power towards her sea of ​​consciousness.

"I looked at its atomic structure with my super sight, and it seems to be no different from a steel bullet." Da Chao said confused.

"Look again." Batman took out a "small flashlight" from his pocket and fired a beam of blue light at the bullet. The black bullet immediately turned scarlet like burning charcoal, and also emitted a faint red light.

"Um~~" Da Chao's eyes stung inexplicably, and then his brain felt dull pain. He couldn't help covering his face and took two steps back.

"What's wrong with you?" Bateman was a little surprised.

There were many people around, but only Dachao reacted fiercely.

Harley first checked Da Chao's condition and then said: "He was looking too intently, and his concentration was so high that his mental power followed his gaze and fell on the bullet, and was burnt by the divine toxin.

It's not a big problem, he is not a god.

This damn thing was forged specifically to kill gods. To mortals, it was no different from ordinary bullets. "

"What kind of light is this? It can directly show traces of radiation from divine toxins." She asked curiously.

"This is the 'New God's Power Detector', which only has a relatively sensitive response to the New God's power.

You've been insisting that Darkseid killed Orion.

Darkseid is the new god king. If he takes action, he will definitely leave traces of his divine power, so Mr. Miracle and I teamed up to design this instrument.

It can reveal the radiation wave of the divine toxin bullet, which can only be regarded as an unexpected surprise. "

Bateman put away the "flashlight" and handed the box to Harley. "Look carefully. Can you find any obvious traces of Darkseid? Or, will it be helpful to your research on divine toxins?"

Harley took the box and asked, "Where did you find this bullet while checking the bullet with the mental power wrapped in the defensive force field?"

"Right at the crime scene, Orion's body was 8 meters away and buried 65 meters deep in the ground."

Da Chao shook his head and stood up, and said with certainty: "It's impossible. I checked carefully with my super vision. I didn't even miss the ant holes in the wall. There is not a single bullet hole within a radius of 200 meters."

Bateman pointed to the bullet in the box and said, "Look at the rust spots on it."

Dachao hesitated and said: "You mean, bullets made by gods shouldn't rust?"

Bateman shook his head, "I found this bullet early this morning, and then I spent a day testing it in all aspects.

All scientific instruments proved that it was an alloy steel armor-piercing bullet containing special radioactive materials.

I guess Darkseid picked up a random bullet and soaked it with divine toxin.

Bullets are only carriers of toxins and do not bear any killing effect.

Therefore, like ordinary alloy bullets, it will also rust over time. "

Sissoko was surprised: "According to the rust marks on the bullet, it must have been buried in the soil for at least ten years, right?"

Bateman said solemnly: "The dating instrument shows that it is about 245 years. Even if the error is taken into account, it will not be less than two hundred years."

"But Orion only died a few months ago, how could the bullet that shot him have been out of the barrel for two hundred years? This is unreasonable." Everyone exclaimed.

Bateman glanced at Harley and saw that she was also frowning slightly. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a proud arc. Although his voice was still low and hoarse, it revealed a rare lightness.

“Don’t look at the murder of a god through mortal eyes.

Mortals live in a four-dimensional material universe, and our methods are also limited to the four-dimensional space.

Gods are five-dimensional beings, and time is no longer even linear for them. "

Some people were thoughtful, while others looked more confused.

Kyle frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush and tell us the answer directly."

Bateman said: "Dakseid stood in the future and fired a bullet at the 'present' Orion. After the bullet killed Orion, it continued to fly 'forward' and flew until two hundred and fifty years later before losing his Power, falling to the ground.

The bullet landed at the Metropolis Pier 250 years ago. There was no pier at that time. Then the bullet was buried in the soil. Roads and houses were built on the soil. Until now, 250 years later, I lifted up the foundation of the house and took it out of the soil. out. "

"It sounds so fantasy." Kyle murmured: "Harley, your ability to protect the timeline has not been activated?"

"This bullet did not change my past or future, it only participated in my 'present'." Harley said.

Even if the bullet touched her timeline, she wouldn't notice it.

Because long before the Disaster, she had ended her timeline protection of the main universe.

There was no way to protect her. There were too many time-travelers and unexpected factors that interfered with the timeline, and she was extremely annoyed.

She only protects her main timeline now, and can't care about trivial matters.

Dachao said slowly: "Although it sounds fantasy, it explains many of our previous questions.

For example, why did the bullet seem to miss Orion's forehead and fly directly into his head.

For example, why is the God-King who holds two equations defenseless against assassination?

For example, Orion was clearly fighting the murderer, but how could the murderer free his hand and attack him from the front?

If the bullet happened to appear in the position of Orion's head at that time, there would be no need to shoot through the forehead, making Orion defenseless."

Harley looked at Bateman and asked in surprise: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​digging a foundation?"

As long as you don't touch the bullet with divine power or mental power, it will be no different from ordinary scrap metal. Ground instruments will not be able to detect any radioactive fluctuations. If there were any fluctuations, Harley and Dachao would have already "visible" them to the naked eye.

There were no bullet holes at the scene.

No one in their right mind would think of lifting up the foundations of nearby houses and going dozens of meters underground.

However, Bateman did it with full confidence.

Before digging up the bullet, he had already vowed that there would be results soon.

"It's very simple, ballistic analysis." Bateman grinned, "When I first came into contact with Orion's body, I guessed that the wound came from a bullet.

Although it sounds unbelievable that the God King was killed by a bullet, this is at least the idea.

Then I thought of the most commonly used analysis method in gun homicides, ballistic analysis! "

"I also immediately thought of ballistics, and I looked around for bullet holes, but found nothing. You also know the result." Dachao said.

"Yes, you told me the results, but Oreo is the King of Gods. Analysis by conventional means has no results. It can only prove that conventional means are wrong, not that ballistic analysis is useless."

"So, you bought the entire pier and plan to take it easy?" Harley said.

Bateman nodded, "The bullet exploded in Orion's head. The trajectory of the bullet can be analyzed through the wound. Then a super computer is used to simulate the process of Orion falling from Limbo to the dock and analyze the possible location of the bullet. , and finally take the time to investigate slowly.”

"But there are no bullet holes in the ground. Where did you get the motivation to dig the foundation? You still dug so deep." Kyle asked confused.

"Because I first guessed that Orion died of an assassination in the timeline, and then I went to look for physical evidence." Bateman said calmly.

"What? How could you guess such a bizarre assassination method in advance?"

Some people looked incredulous, while others looked suspicious.

"I said, Orion is a god-king, and he is different from ordinary people. I realized this at the beginning of the investigation, so I started to simulate-"

Bateman paused and looked at Harley with a strange look, "I was supposed to simulate Darkseid's thinking, but my understanding of Darkseid was too one-sided.

Some time ago, Planet Daily published a trailer for the "Apocalypse" series, which revealed information related to Darkseid that shocked me. "

"Well, I didn't expect Darkseid to like Bai Youshou, he is such a pervert." Kyle and Sissoko said in agreement.

Dachao also nodded slightly.

Bateman's cheek muscles twitched a few times, "What he likes is not the point. The point is that I found that what we know about Him is limited to brutality and power.

We know next to nothing about His character, habits, and daily routines.

Therefore, I can only continue to simulate the thinking of "Witch Harley".

I wonder how Harley would kill Orion if she was the murderer.

'Witch Harley' is more cunning and cunning than Darkseid. She can think of everything Darkseid can think of, and she can still think of things Darkseid can't think of.

Eventually, I found many ways to kill Orion, and long-range sniping in the timeline was just one of them. "

Harley said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I didn't even think of this killing method myself, how can you imitate it?"

"Harry, you have to believe in yourself. The reason you don't think about it now is because you didn't think about murdering Orion. Once you are pushed into a hurry, you can burst out with unlimited potential." Bateman said seriously.

Da Chao asked strangely: "Haley's unfulfilled potential was stimulated by your mind simulation?"

——Then how much do you know about her?

Sissoko also said strangely: "If Bateman found the bullet according to the idea of ​​​​"Witch Harley", can it be evidence that "the murderer is Darkseid"?

If the Heavenly Father of the Genesis Star knew this result, he would probably be more suspicious of Harley, right? "

"Harley has basically been cleared of suspicion. Everyone knows that she cannot enter the river of time," Bateman said.

"Just because she can't enter the River of Time doesn't mean she can't interfere with the River of Time. She once protected Sinestro's timeline, and everyone knows this," Kyle said.

"Why does such a simple question need to be discussed?" Bart smiled confidently: "Since we know that the murderer comes from the future, as long as we run along the river of time, we will definitely be able to find the trajectory of the bullet, and then follow the trajectory to find the muzzle of the gun and the murderer. Already?"

"Then you will be slapped to death by the murderer." Harley said coolly.

"Well, I'm fast, so he may not be able to catch up with me, and I only take a look from a distance, not get close."

Black Iris patted the "white grandson" and shouted: "Stop messing around, rush to Darkseid, how can you survive?

Before you see him, he has seen you. You are still planning to watch from a distance, but he has already come to you. "

"You can let Heavenly Father see it," Sissoko said.

Harry said: "Then let Heavenly Father be slapped to death?"

"Someone has to confirm it, right?"

Bateman frowned and said, "I suspect that the murderer is someone else, not Darkseid, or at least not Darkseid directly."

"Why?" Dachao asked confused.

Bateman said: “Because of Harley’s persistence, we subconsciously looked for evidence that Darkseid was the murderer.

In case analysis, this behavior is actually very incorrect, and it is easy to miss the real culprit.

Under normal circumstances, we should first analyze the case and then deduce the identity of the murderer based on the existing evidence.

Putting aside any preconceptions, based on the current evidence, what do you think are the identity of the real murderer of Orion? "

Kyle thought for a while and said: "The murderer is a person who is proficient in the laws of time! To snipe a god-king in the vast river of time across hundreds or thousands of years is as difficult as shooting a pistol flying overhead. The F-22 fighter jet that passed."

"Taking into account the changes in the fifth world, 80% of those who murdered Orion were the New Gods." Bateman added.

"Among the new gods, who is the most proficient in the laws of time?" Da Chao murmured.

Harley looked at Bateman and said in surprise: "Do you doubt Metron?"
