[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

"I have no impulse towards you."

After finishing speaking, Matthew turned around and walked towards the Shark King: "Nanase, shall we go to the Planet Daily editorial office to play with big balls?"

"King Shark loves big balls."

Shark King said happily, put down the half-eaten beef leg, eager to try.

Matthew then said to Luther: "Mr. Lai, can we go to the Daily Planet headquarters to dismantle your big ball?"

"can."

Luthor has long been used to superheroes flying around in the metropolis and causing all kinds of damage, so naturally he doesn't care that the big ball on the top floor of the Daily Planet headquarters is tossed by the Shark King.

but--

"Try to control the degree of damage..." Luther said, "I don't want to rebuild the planetary building for the time being."

"Do your best."

After the promise was made, Matthew took King Shark out of the Planet Hotel and went straight to the Planet Building where the Planet Daily headquarters is located.

Superman watched them leave, and asked Luthor puzzledly: "Lex, have you become very talkative recently?"

"Don't you like me like this?" Luther asked back.

Superman: "If I could, I wish you'd always been this sweet, but I've always felt that your becoming so talkative is a...a disturbing change..."

At this point, Superman paused: "My speech didn't offend you, did it?"

"Your very existence makes me angry!"

Luther announced angrily.

Accompanied by the universal assistant and bodyguard Mercy, Luther also left the Planet Hotel.

Superman catches up: "Where are you going?"

Luther: "Listen to the reps from the PR firm read about their stupid engagement plan! Given that none of you are taking Connor's engagement seriously!"

"Lex, I'm not..."

"especially you!"

While talking, Luther got into the car and refused to talk to Superman who was sticking to the window.

Superman turned back to Batman dejectedly: "I seem to be making Lex mad again?"

Batman: "Don't think too much about it, he's always been that sensitive."

……

After leaving the hotel, Matthew didn't immediately take King Shark to Planet Building.

To be exact, King Shark was attracted by the amusement park workers in puppet clothes who were distributing promotional balloons on the roadside, and jumped up and down to ask for balloons.

The staff thought that King Shark was a colleague wearing a shark puppet, and reluctantly gave him a balloon.

The result is naturally——

King Shark: "King Shark wants all the balloons! All the balloons belong to King Shark."

"Uh..." The staff were speechless.

Matthew stepped forward to smooth things over, bought all the balloons in the hands of the staff, carefully tied them together with ropes, and wrapped them around King Shark's arm: "Now, all the balloons belong to King Shark."

"King Shark owns all the balloons! All the balloons belong to King Shark!"

Looking at the large string of balloons tied to his arms, Shark King was very excited.

The staff of the amusement park, who had finished releasing the publicity balloons in advance, sat on the steps, took off their cumbersome puppet headgear, shook their sweat-soaked hair, and drank soda.

One of the brown-haired white men asked his Latino companion, "Hasn't come to work today?"

"The day after tomorrow is his girlfriend's due date, and he has to be by her side..." the Latina companion said, "It's really rare for a black man like Hansen who doesn't plan to get married but is willing to take responsibility."

"And as far as I know, he doesn't even have a deposit of one hundred dollars..." the white man said, "Last time he fell and was hospitalized by himself, and he asked us for help to pay for the medical expenses when he settled the bill."

"But he is still willing to... wait a minute! Hansen has no money to take responsibility! He doesn't mean to..."

His Latino companion showed horror in his eyes.

They all know that even in a thriving metropolis, there are still dark corners where the sun does not shine, and a healthy newborn is always the most popular commodity on the black market.

"I don't believe he would do that! He's not like that!"

"But his recent behavior is indeed very abnormal! He is so short of money that he even borrowed next month's rent from me, but he can not come to work for a week, and even sends his girlfriend to private Hospital birth! My God! My God! My God!"

Both the white man and his Latino peers grew more fearful as they spoke.

But they also know that all their guesses about Hansen are groundless conjectures, they can only—

"May God bless Hansen's children."

……

Almost every sentence of the discussion between the white man and the Latino companion reached Matthew's ears.

At the same time, subtle text emerges on the transparent panel of the system.

[Respected and great master, would you like to stop temporarily to listen to a little suggestion from your humble and loyal servant? 】

what have you found?

[Respected and great masters, as you suspect, the two men who are sitting on the steps discussing the bizarre behavior of their black colleagues do have some ground breaking evidence of the status quo in their hands.And these evidences were not noticed by the superheroes gathered at the Planet Hotel. 】

Oh?

Matthew was immediately interested.

Moreover, he noticed that these amusement park staff wear full-body puppets every day.

"You're right, puppet props and window dummies are the best hiding methods for a transparent person, if he can only keep his body transparent in a non-combustible state."

Matthew was talking to himself.

The transparent panel crazily releases words of praise.

【Master, you are indeed the greatest, smartest and most far-sighted existence your servant has ever seen. Your intelligence shines like the sun in the sky, and your subtle observation ability makes the greatest Even the detectives in the office are not as good as...]

Well, stop talking about those sycophants!

Matthew interrupted the flattering words on the transparent panel impatiently, and quickly found the work addresses of the white man and the Latino man in front of him through the metropolitan ghost monitoring system, and obtained Hansen's detailed information.

Hansen, male, 27 years old, graduated from junior high school, and currently lives in...

"Honey, I am looking forward to the birth of the child as much as you are, so stop thinking about it."

After comforting his girlfriend again, Hansen pressed the button to spray hypnotic gas.

"But……"

The girlfriend wanted to say something, but the effect of the hypnotic gas was too fast. In the blink of an eye, she lost consciousness and passed out on the hospital bed.

Armed medical personnel stepped forward and pushed away the unconscious girlfriend.

Hansen looked at his girlfriend who was going away, and his mood was unexpectedly calm.

He asked the nurse beside him, "When will the money arrive?"

"After confirming that the child she gave birth to is the one we want." The nurse replied coldly.

She has the right to look down on Hansen, a rotten person who sold his girlfriend and newborn for money.

Hansen has also become accustomed to the arrogance of the medical staff.

After looking at the personal account with a double-digit balance, Hansen walked out of the hospital, planning to buy a hamburger——

"Hey--"

A handsome young man blocked his way.

Hansen looked up, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the clothes on the young man: "Wow! Are you a rich man! You actually wear a coat with a price tag of at least two thousand dollars!"

"Do you like it?"

Matthew took off his coat indifferently: "Send you..."

"Really give it to me?"

Hansen didn't dare to accept it.

He knows that nothing is free in this world.

"As long as you do a few things for me, the clothes and the money in the pockets are all yours."

With that said, Matthew took out a stack of dollar bills from his coat pocket: "Do you like these?"

"me……"

Hansen's mouth was dry for a while.

The desire for money made his blood boil: "What do you want me to do! Let me explain in advance, I don't do murder, robbery and arson! That's a serious crime! I don't want to be imprisoned for ten years for a few thousand dollars!"

"But if the price is up to a year in jail, would you accept it?" Matthew asked.

Hansen: "..."

He admitted he was a little moved.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

Hansen, who was blinded by money, asked Matthew directly: "As long as the consequences are not likely to cause me to be disabled, I am willing to accept it."

"I want you to tell me—"

Matthew shook the whole stack of dollar bills: "Who asked you to send your girlfriend to this hospital to give birth? Also, what do you need to do after giving birth?"

"I……"

Hansen didn't dare to say.

He was afraid of losing his life.

Originally, Matthew just suspected that Hansen sent his girlfriend to a private hospital to give birth. Seeing that Hansen immediately fell silent after hearing his question, and his expression was very frightened, he suddenly understood most of it.

He raised his hand and patted Hansen on the shoulder: "Telling the truth will lead to terrible results, right?"

"Correct!"

Hansen nodded, then shook his head vigorously: "I don't know anything! I didn't say anything!"

"I know you are a man of faith."

After finishing speaking, Matthew stuffed the whole stack of dollar bills into Hansen's hand: "Take it, you deserve it."

"But I don't have anything..."

Hansen was surprised.

Matthew's generosity seriously exceeded his expectations, and he was terrified.

"I've got what I wanted..." Matthew said. "When it's over, be nice to your girlfriend. She loves you and endured the pregnancy until the baby was born."

"But--"

Hansen was about to explain, when he suddenly realized that there was no one in front of him, only the brand-new dollar bills in his hands were real.

"This... this... what's going on here? Am I dreaming?"

Hansen, who was already full of worries, became more and more frightened as he thought about it, trembling all over.

At this time, a strong and huge black figure pressed down, and immediately after, a heavy and thick arm fell on his shoulders.

Hansen turned his head, and was frightened out of his wits by what he saw!

"Sharks! Sharkmen!"

It turned out to be a man with a shark head!

wrong!

It's a humanoid shark!

What's more, the humanoid shark can also talk.

He slowly opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and corrected his speech slowly, word by word: "It's King Shark, not Sharkman."

Is this a King Shark or a Sharkman question?

Standing in the shadow of the Shark King, Hansen was so frightened that his legs trembled, his body was weak, and his mind went blank.

What's more terrible is——

He looked around and found that he had been in the deserted wilderness at some point!

How is this going!

me……

Hansen completely lost his ability to think, leaving only his survival instinct, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "Don't! Don't eat me! Help! Help!"

"King Sharks don't eat dirt."

The humanoid shark continued to speak slowly, word by word.

But this only made Hansen tremble even more.

Like falling into a [-]th-level hurricane, every muscle in his body was not shaking: "Help! Help! Who will save me! Help!"

"You belong to the Shark King."

After muttering, Shark King lifted Hansen as easily as a shopping bag, and threw it at Matthew's feet.

"King Shark is not hungry now."

"you--"

Hansen looked up and saw the expensive coat, and he was shocked: "You...you are..."

"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Matthew looked at Hansen with a smile: "Can't you say anything now?"

"me……"

Hansen's heart was almost shattered by this series of events.

With his psychological defense completely broken, he cried bitterly: "What do you want! I will tell you everything! I will tell you everything!"

"very good……"

Matthew nodded in satisfaction, lowered his head, and asked Hansen condescendingly: "Why did you send your girlfriend to a private hospital to give birth?"

"Someone asked me to do this... He asked me to send her to this hospital to give birth, and as long as the baby was delivered to the hospital, my girlfriend and I would get paid fifty thousand dollars! That's fifty thousand Dollars!"

"Why you and your girlfriend's kid?" Matthew asked.

If the hospital just wanted a batch of newborns for shady secret experiments, $[-] would be enough to buy ten babies of all colors from different countries on the black market.

The purchase of Hansen and his girlfriend's child with $[-] is obviously related to the child itself.

This time, however, Hansen refused to answer.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Matthew: "Even if you want to kill me now, I won't tell the reason!"

"I'm not a fool, how could I only threaten you with killing you?"

Matthew glanced at the Shark King standing beside Hansen.

The Shark King grinned, his white teeth reflecting the sunlight: "The Shark King is a little hungry, and the Shark King wants to eat a leg."

While speaking, he reached out and lifted Hansen's foot, and pulled it hard——

"what!"

Hansen screamed.

He suspected that his leg bones had been torn off by the Shark King.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill! Don't! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything! Anything is fine!"

"Really?"

Matthew looked at Hansen pretending to be casual, with a charming arc at the corner of his mouth.

Hansen: "Really! Everything I said is true! I really told you everything!"

"Then tell me, why did the hospital buy your and your girlfriend's child?"

"Because... because that child is not mine at all! I don't even know what this child is!"

Hansen broke down in tears and said: "In addition to working part-time in the amusement park, my girlfriend and I also distribute to Jimmy and Brother Jem on a daily basis. You know, that's the kind of distribution.

A month ago, Jimmy asked me to go to the pier to move the goods. The goods were several black boxes.

I thought there was powder in the box, and I wanted to steal some when no one was around, so I called my girlfriend to pick me up at the pier, but...the result..."

"You opened the box?"

"We opened a box, there was nothing in it, and the box disappeared, and then Mary's stomach bulged like crazy! I was scared to death, thought there was a virus in the box, and took my girlfriend to run away, and then Just...just..."

"What happened again?"

"We stayed in the abandoned house in the suburbs for three days, and nothing happened, except that my girlfriend's belly became more and more exaggerated, as if she was pregnant, and what's worse, we ate up all the food."

Hansen trembled and said: "I don't want to starve to death in the abandoned house. I left my girlfriend as an excuse to go out to find food and prepare to escape. I was caught by a helicopter not far away. The people on the plane told me to calm down. , He also said that as long as my girlfriend gave birth to the stuff in her stomach, he would give us [-] dollars! I agreed, and he arranged us to this hospital."

"Does your girlfriend know about your deal with the hospital?"

"she……"

"to be frank!"

"She doesn't know, I don't want to share the money with her..." Hansen said, "Fortunately, she doesn't seem to want the child either, so she should be happy to give the child to the hospital."

"so you--"

"I admit that I'm a scum! But I didn't do such a scum on purpose! I'm just too poor!"

Hansen begged bitterly.

He was afraid that Matthew would kill himself.

"I see."

Matthew glanced at Shark King: "He is yours now."

"King Shark likes snacks."

King Shark grinned, ready to—

"No! Don't eat me!"

Hansen exclaimed, and then revealed a big secret: "Actually, I also opened a box!"

"Have you opened the box too?"

Matthew looked at Hansen with piercing eyes.

"Yes, I opened a box, and at the same time as my girlfriend opened the box, it turned out...it turned out..."

"What did you get from the box?"

"I……"

"can not say?"

Matthew looked at King Shark.

Shark King then smiled foolishly.

Hansen suddenly lost his mind: "I got a bottle of medicine from the box, and the label of the invisibility medicine was on the bottle. Of course I don't believe that this thing can really be invisible. Keller, who happened to be working together, offended me some time ago. I put the invisibility medicine on it. Pour the medicine into the coffee and let him drink it."

"and then?"

"Then he never appeared in front of me again, and I don't know where he went."

"What about the rest of the invisibility medicine?"

"Once the coffee is poured in, the bottle and the rest of the potion are gone."

Hansen looked at Matthew with a distressed expression.

From this, Matthew judged that Hansen did not lie to himself.

"Did you know Jem and Jimmy are dead?" Matthew asked.

"I don't know. Recently, I'm either staying with my girlfriend in the hospital or working in an amusement park..." Hansen said, "I want to get paid $[-] as soon as possible."

"alright, I got it."

Matthew turned around, ready to leave.

Hansen was worried that the shark king would bite him, so he shouted in fright: "Don't! Don't leave me! I don't want to die yet!"

"Sorry, people like you have no value in existence."

After speaking, Matthew disappeared out of thin air.

Shark King draped Hansen's shoulders with a cheerful smile.

……

"According to this, the burning transparent man may be named Keller?"

After listening to Matthew's narration, both Batman and Superman fell into deep thought.

Keller was not on the seven-man list they drew that needed to be monitored.

"Can you provide more information about Keller?"

"All I know is that he used to be Jimmy and Jem's pony boy and was involved in the delivery of the black boxes..." Matthew said, "he must have distributed it for Brother Jimmy as well."

"This is a valuable clue!"

Batman turned to Dick and Tim and said, "How many distribution boys do Jimmy and Jem have?"

"It was like thirteen at the most..." Tim said. "When brothers Jimmy and Jem died, those guys went to work for other guys."

"Start with these people and investigate Keller's specific situation."

After finishing speaking, Batman added another sentence: "Are the mysterious black boxes brought to Metropolis by Brother Jimmy and Jem under our control?"

"The black boxes that have been discovered are all under our control, and those that have not been discovered..."

"All right……"

Batman looked at Luther: "Can you find all these people?"

"For the sake of the Metropolis, I will temporarily cooperate with you, but this does not mean that you can issue orders to me."

Luther was clearly not happy with Batman's attitude.

Superman had no choice but to say, "Metropolis is your city, and you have a natural advantage in Metropolis. He needs your help."

"Yes, I need your help."

"Since you have offered to apologize to me, then I also—"

Luther glanced at Superman: "It's very simple for me to find all these people, but finding these people won't solve the problem."

The question Luthor was referring to wasn't just about the so far unsourced engagement invitation emails.

What he really cares about is the mysterious black box that came out of nowhere.

"Finding Keller and controlling Keller won't really solve the problem, but it can prevent things from getting worse and ensure the safety of the Metropolis."

Superman said, "Time is the most scarce thing we have right now."

"Yes, we lack time."

Batman repeated in a murmur.

In addition to Keller, who is suspected of being a burning transparent human body, must be found as soon as possible, and the child that Hansen's girlfriend is about to give birth to and the hospital that bought the child with $[-] must also be further investigated.

"Leave the hospital and the baby to me, Timmy, and Connor!" Dick promised confidently, "When we need support, we will ask you for help immediately!"

"it is good……"

Batman nodded in agreement.

He was always very reassuring about Dick.

only--

Dick left with Tim and Connor, and Batman showed distress again: "Matthew, I want to ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

"Do you want to meet your father?" Batman asked. "Zatanna arrives in Metropolis tomorrow, and your father John Constantine is with her at the moment. Of course, if you don't want to meet him, I will definitely respect it." Your will, let your itinerary be perfectly staggered."

"No, I'm very much looking forward to meeting him, Batman."

After being enlightened by Lucifer, Matthew was ready to meet John Constantine.

He looked Batman straight in the eye.
