Chapter 2916 When Night Falls (Thirty-Four)
The members of the Justice League were still in the conference room recounting their experiences over the past few months. Aquaman had already finished speaking because he really had nothing to say. He had spent most of his time in the sea over the past few months and didn't know much about vampires.
Under Batman's guidance, everyone discussed whether vampires could convert sea creatures into their own kind. Most people thought that they could, because Atlantis was also an ancient human race, but it sank later, so theoretically, it could also be embraced by vampires.
However, a large part of the people in Atlantis are descendants of gods, and the remaining power in their bodies may not be able to be integrated with the power of vampires. Wonder Woman also thinks so. The gods of Mount Olympus may not be affected by vampires. It is difficult to bite their skin, and it is even more difficult to integrate their power.
Next it was Green Lantern's turn. Green Lantern said even less than Aquaman. He said that he had been carrying out missions in the universe recently and knew little about vampires, nor had he encountered any special incidents.
Most people agree with this reason because in their impression, Green Lantern does often go to the universe to perform missions. Although some people are dissatisfied with the Green Lantern Corps's disregard for the vampire disaster on Earth, they also know that this is not something Hal can decide, so this part about Green Lantern has passed.
Martian Manhunter is actually in a similar situation to Superman. He is also a member of the Justice League who participated in the entire vampire disaster outbreak. However, because he is not as strong as Superman, most of the time he stays at the headquarters to provide information to Superman.
The events he encountered basically overlapped with those of Superman, and in the process of narrating he was supplementing Superman's events. However, because Superman had carried out so many missions in the past few months, the Martian Manhunter read the mission records for two or three hours.
At noon, everyone continued to eat and discuss the situation in low voices, but the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before. Everyone said that they did not find any suspicious persons among those who were talking, and they also doubted whether Batman could really find them as they had been delayed here for a day and a night.
After that, members like Cyborg began to speak. Their time was relatively even, basically around an hour, but there were quite a few people, and by the time they all finished speaking, it was already late at night.
"Let's keep vigil tonight," Jenna suggested. "Last night we kept vigil for too short a time. Maybe we can keep vigil for a little longer tonight."
She nudged Xan with her elbow, and Xan nodded. Wonder Woman smiled and said, "You guys just want to go get some snacks. Leave me a bag of original flavored potato chips. I need something to perk me up."
"Don't worry." Jenna gestured to her.
The two walked to the corner of the room again. Jenna winked at Zan, but Zan shook his head. Jenna frowned and gave him a puzzled look, and Zan shook his head again.
But Schiller was actually very hungry. To be precise, no matter whose soul controlled this body, the hunger from the blood was lingering, making people want to devour everything around them madly.
But unfortunately, the morbid Schiller was very accustomed to this feeling, after all, one of them was called gluttony.
The pathological ones are actually not so clearly divided, as they all have some of each other's attributes. For example, most Schillers are good at fighting, which comes from their violent traits. Many of them also show obvious manipulative tendencies, which naturally comes from manipulation.
Likewise, most pathologies are feeling hunger, so manipulation is busy manipulating, and violence is craving the release of violence.
Pathological beings also have the same property, that is, the worse the condition is, the better the condition will be.
Moonlight Schiller didn't care about the hunger that felt like being bitten by countless ants. He even felt that it was not enough because he knew that another person in the room felt the same way as him.
The opponent might be able to persist with his strong willpower, but this kind of hunger obviously has no effect on him. However, Moonlight Schiller is different. When hunger reaches its peak, he will be stronger than ever before.
In other words, I'm waiting for blood rage, what are you waiting for?
Schiller grabbed another bag of potato chips and this time he ate a little quieter and not as fast, as if he was just eating out of boredom.
But soon, an unexpected figure appeared. Green Lantern sat over, picked up another bag of potato chips, opened it and put it into his mouth.
Schiller glanced at him, moved aside to give him some space, and handed him a bottle of Coke. The other person ate the potato chips at a fast pace and finished a bag of chips in no time.
Schiller took a few sandwiches from the side and said in a praising tone, "I see you didn't eat much during the day. Are you starving?"
"I just feel a little worried. Batman has trapped us here, and we don't know how many people are going to die outside."
"Yes, that betrayer is so abominable." Jenna waved her fist and said, "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be locked up here. Speaking of which, who do you think is more suspicious?"
"I don't know." Green Lantern said while eating, "I think Batman may have known it, but he just didn't say it."
"Hey, brother, is there a can of fruit over there?" Jenna said, raising her voice slightly, "Give it to me."
Schiller picked up the can next to him, and then saw Jenna winking at him. He immediately understood Jenna's plan, took a look at the can, and threw it to Jenna.
This is the kind of can without a pull ring.
Canned food in Europe and the United States is rather strange. They focus more on sealing rather than convenience. It seems that the pull ring will affect the sealing, so many cans here are made into tightly fitting iron cans, and many families also have can openers on hand.
A can opener actually cuts along one side of the can and then rolls up the tin.
As expected, Batman even prepared a can opener, but Jenna seemed to have never used this thing before. After all, she was just a little girl, an alien, not a housewife, and she didn't deal with canned food much.
She inserted the blade into the can with some difficulty, fiddled with it, and finally cut the can open. However, as she was turning it, it seemed that the can opener was not fixed properly, and the whole can opener popped out, and the half-rolled iron sheet bounced back and cut Jenna's hand.
She let out a terrifying scream, waking everyone up. The sleepy Superman instantly turned into a big light bulb, his eyes glowing red as he asked, "What happened? Who was attacked?"
Jenna said with a sad face: "No one attacked me. I cut my hand while opening a can. Do you have a bandage?"
The others came over and were a little speechless when they saw the wound. Wonder Woman rubbed her forehead and said, "This is a can of fruit for cooking, not a can of snacks. Why do you have to open it?"
"I don't know." Jenna said aggrievedly, "You know I love sweets, but there's no cake or anything, so I thought of making do with this, and that can opener is too difficult to use..."
Batman was also speechless, but when he walked to Jenna and picked up the blood-stained can opener again, he knew that Jenna did it on purpose.
There is actually nothing dangerous about a can opener. The so-called blade is not actually sharp and is still some distance away from being able to scratch human skin. What is more dangerous is the iron sheet of the can that is cut.
But generally speaking, as long as the hand is not moved upward intentionally, it will not be scratched. Jenna must have deliberately cut her hand in the dim light.
She probably thought that the vampire hiding among them could no longer bear it, so she deliberately created a bleeding wound to lure the other party into going crazy.
What a smart girl, Batman thought, if any one of them did such a thing, it would seem stupid and deliberate, but because Jenna is very young and an alien, her personality is usually very eccentric, so no one would have any doubts about this matter, but would only feel helpless.
Fortunately, Batman also prepared a first aid kit. The wound on Jenna's hand was not to the point where it needed to be sutured. Wonder Woman used magic to stop the bleeding and cleaned the wound. When she was about to bandage it, Zan said anxiously, "It's taking too long to heal. Can't you use healing magic to help her?"
Wonder Woman shook her head and said, "I am a demigod, not a magician. I don't know how to perform healing magic. This is something that only priests who practice sacred magic can do."
Zan searched the crowd with his eyes, and then, as if he had seen a savior, he walked over and pulled the Green Lantern next to him over and said, "Green Lantern energy can heal wounds, right? Hal, please help Jenna, otherwise she may not be able to use this hand for the next few days."
Jenna's wound was very clever, with a vertical cut on the part that curled up when her hand was clenched. This meant that she basically couldn't clench her hand now, and this hand could basically do nothing. It was not a serious injury but it affected her movements.
Jenna gave a thumbs up and then said, "No need to waste energy, I think I can do it too..."
She clenched her hands gently, and the wound that had stopped bleeding began to bleed again. She took a breath and said dejectedly, "It seems there is really no way. Do you think it would be better if I turned into an animal and then changed back?"
Schiller remembered that the Wonder Twins had superpowers, but he was not sure what they were. Now it seemed that the sister could turn into an animal, but what about the brother? Now was not the time to think about this question.
Wonder Woman quickly stopped Jenna and told her not to move, and gently wiped her blood. Superman frowned at the wound that was bleeding, and said to Hal: "Help her, Hal, it shouldn't take much energy, right? Hal... Hal? Are you too sleepy?"
Hal nodded, yawning and saying, "I didn't sleep well last night. I was about to go to sleep, but I felt hungry, so I got up to eat. Now I feel dizzy."
After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and a green light enveloped Jenna's palm. The wound healed quickly, and Jenna immediately said to him with gratitude: "Thank you so much, Hal! You're the best!"
She gave Hal a big hug, and Hal didn't seem to react, so he didn't dodge. When Jenna touched him, the green light energy didn't have time to separate them.
After letting go of her hand, Jenna's expression became a little frightened. She quickly hid behind Superman and pointed at Hal.
"He...he he he he...he has no body temperature!!!"
Everyone was stunned.
