[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

The whole room fell into silence.Even The Flash and Pietro stopped tugging at each other.

The brains and conscience of the Justice League vs. the ex-Avengers siblings.Joanna stood in the middle, feeling very dazed.She thought about it for a long time, but her brain was like a computer overloaded with information, and she couldn't think of it at all right now.Joanna held back for a long time, and finally said weakly: "Why don't you let me sit and think for a while?"

No one answered, everyone just looked at her quietly.

Joanna didn't care about everyone's response, she walked to the sofa on her own, leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and sat down slowly.She propped her elbows on the arm of the sofa, her chin resting lightly on the palm of her hand.Joanna didn't look at anyone, just staring at a pattern on the carpet.

Wanda secretly observed the movements of Batman and The Flash, and the magic of chaos has been swirling around her fingertips. It only takes 2 minutes for her to easily enter Joanna's subconscious, and then be there. Have an effective conversation with Joanna.This is an extraordinary method, and it is an extraordinary method that Steve repeatedly ordered not to take.But right now, Wanda couldn't care less.She has seen the future foreseen by the prophet, and she knows better than anyone how important Joanna, who has a tongue of lies, will be to the future.

Unfortunately, Batman is more cautious than she expected.He kept staring at Wanda, as if Joanna next to him was not worthy of his attention at all.

Wanda even began to suspect that Batman didn't invite The Flash from Central City to delay Pietro so that she could arrive in time.He wanted the Flash to choke Pietro from the start, so he could focus on preventing her from exerting influence over Joanna.

This man, from the beginning, planned to tell Joanna that the tongue of lies could be peeled off.

Wanda frowned.She had to admit that Batman was indeed a difficult opponent.

Joanna was stunned for a while, then turned around and asked, "Sorry, I know I'm stupid for asking this. But I want to know, can the tongue of lies really be peeled off? I mean... there is no need to cut off my tongue or ask My life or something?"

Batman stared at Wanda: "Yes. Safe to peel off. You won't even feel much pain."

Joanna: "Uh...Brother, can you...uh...look into the eyes of the questioner when you answer the question. You make me feel like you are lying."

Batman had no choice but to look away and look at Joanna: "It can be peeled off safely. I promise you."

Seeing that there was no chance to use Chaos magic to influence Joanna, Wanda changed her mind and said, "Joanna, calm down. How do you know what he said is true?"

Joanna, who is good at skepticism, heard that her brain finally functioned normally.She raised her chin at Batman: "What Wanda said makes sense, how do you prove it?"

"I borrowed this from my companion before I came."

A golden rope lay quietly in Batman's hand.Joanna knew exactly what was binding her wrists.On the last trip to Gotham, Joanna met the female warrior who Tony said "feels like he can hang Sol up and swell up" here.Joanna also remembers that the female warrior named Diana did say that she has an artifact called the lasso of truth, which can help Joanna fight against the power of the tongue of lies.

Joanna pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose. She looked like a senior investor who was hesitant to sell all the stocks in her hand: "Sorry, I can't see how this thing proves that you are telling the truth .”

"The noose of truth." Batman explained calmly. "As long as you are caught by it, no one can lie. Even the host of the tongue of lies. We have already practiced this in the kitchen just now, haven't we?"

"Wow wow wow! Slow down, I didn't mean to lie just now, okay? I don't have the power to use a lying tongue."

Batman raised his hand slightly: "If you want, I can demonstrate it for you again. I will tie you up with it, and you will find that you can no longer lie."

Joanna crossed her arms and looked at the noose in Batman's hand in confusion.

"Can you?" Batman unfolded the noose and looked at Joanna firmly.

Joanna looked anxiously at Wanda, who was shaking her head at her.

"You know, once you've tried it, you can ask me anything you want to know. I can also prove to you that your friends don't want you to try this noose because they don't want you to try it. I'm not worried about you, but I'm afraid that you will know the truth."

"What truth?"

Batman didn't speak any more, just slipped the noose in his hand once again.

"Joanna." Wanda couldn't help but wanted to step forward to grab Joanna's hand, but Batman ruthlessly blocked the way, so she could only look at Joanna longingly, "Don't, Joanna, don't be fooled by him." cheated."

Joanna stared at the golden noose, thought for a moment, and said, "If this thing is really what he said, I will soon know if he is lying to me. Isn't it?"

"Joanna..."

Wanda's reaction has convinced Joanna of most of Batman's claims.In other words, the real situation she guessed was more serious than what Batman revealed.It's not just that the tongue of lies can be stripped away.And the Avengers should have known about this, but they chose to remain silent and conceal it.Joanna tried to comfort herself with "they and I are no longer colleagues", but found that comforting herself was more difficult than imagined.

"I think I should try it." Joanna looked up at Batman, "Can you guarantee that when I inspect the goods, no, you must promise that when I inspect the goods later, you can't ask me about my personal privacy, Such as bank card passwords or something."

"of course."

Joanna stretched out her wrist slowly, she was as nervous as a child donating blood for the first time.When Batman grabbed her wrist and was about to put the noose of truth on it, she couldn't help shivering.In order to hide her nervousness, she quickly explained: "I didn't expect it to be so cold."

This was a poor cover-up, and even she herself realized how cowardly she looked in that scene after she finished saying this.So she quickly closed her mouth, pursed her lips, and showed a slightly annoyed expression.

The golden noose was loosely around Joanna's wrist, but Batman tied a special knot.That knot looked no different than a normal slipknot.But Batman, who is good at using various tools, knows that as long as he doesn't let go, Joanna can't break free from the noose.As long as he held the end of the rope, no matter how loose and useless that rope looked, Joanna couldn't escape it.

"So," Batman held the end of the noose calmly, "what's the reason you've been pushing the Avengers to accept the bill?"

Joanna froze for a moment, then struggled subconsciously.But as soon as she moved, the rope was like a living snake, tightly locking her wrist.Joanna panicked suddenly: "This question is inappropriate!"

"Why?" Batman repeated the question.

Joanna, who failed to break free, felt that the answer was already on the tip of her tongue, so she shouted to Wanda next to her as hard as she could.But Wanda didn't help her in the first place.The moment Batman asked the question, Wanda and Pietro looked at Joanna involuntarily.If anyone in this world really cares about the reason for Joanna's confusing operation on the eve of the disbandment of the Avengers, those people can only be the Avengers.

"Why?" Batman asked again.

"Because I know that's the only way, that's the only way to keep the Avengers." Joanna closed her eyes.

Batman's tone was softer, but he didn't give up this opportunity: "Why is that the only way. Didn't you find Superman? Didn't you think of letting the Avengers run in the mode of the Justice League at that time? Like now, Operate secretly and decentralized."

Joanna only felt that all perceptions were moving away. Batman in front of her, Wanda, Pietro, and Flash in uniform beside her, and even the apartment she had just known for a few days, seemed to be moving away from her perception.She felt that she was taken back to the past, the small roads on the campus that she walked with Harry, the beach in Los Angeles that she visited with Steve, the office of the SHIELD New York branch... She returned to everything that made her feel at ease and comfortable place.This delusion gave Joanna a kind of courage that it doesn't matter even if the secret in her heart is revealed.

"I thought about it." Joanna felt that her voice was so strange and distant, "but that is not the Avengers I want. There is no place for me in that kind of Avengers. I mean... a secret organization Why would you need a publicist? I don’t want the Avengers like that. I don’t want to be dispensable, I don’t want to... be someone who doesn’t help Steve.”

The room fell silent again.It took Batman a moment to ask, "Have you thought about keeping this a secret forever?"

Joanna smiled: "Of course."

"Sorry." Batman apologized quickly to Joanna when he untied the rope.But Joanna didn't react at all to this.

Wanda and Pietro on the side only felt that all this was beyond words.Joanna's forced confession made the current matter seem less important.

The Flash sneaked up next to Batman and asked, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

Batman ignored Flash, just looked at Joanna and said, "I think we have fully proved the effectiveness of this noose way just now."

Joanna covered her face with her hands for a long time.

Joanna finally let go of her hand when The Flash was about to step forward to comfort her. She looked extremely calm.She stared at Batman, and smiled at him: "Batman, fuck me! Don't you know what privacy is?!"
