"I'm the Phantom Stranger, and I'm here to help you."

"I am 'The Outsider,' and I will save you who are trapped in water and fire. Why are you trapped in water and fire? Don't worry about it." After the Phantom Stranger's unusually pretentious appearance, Connors also spoke in the face of other people's confused eyes.

"Atomica" was worried that she would laugh out loud, so she quickly retracted her head, and her little body drilled around in Connors's clothes, causing trouble.

"Why are you both wearing the same clothes—" Zatanna asked doubtfully.

"The trench coat he wears is a common style in Gotham, as for the cloak…" Batman's words were interrupted by Connors before they were finished.

The black smoke transformed from his cloak form into a war horse after a long absence, and his more magical posture made Batman's eyes light up. "Do you sell this horse?"

Connors: "Not for sale."

Every Batman wants to buy it after watching the Black Smoke War Horse. Is this the banknote ability that belongs to the Wayne family alone?

"I don't have time to chat anymore, I'm here to help you—" The pretentious appearance did not win the praise of the superheroes. The "Phantom Stranger" saw that the topic of these guys gradually went astray, and quickly said, "At this very moment, Wonder Woman is in New York seeking help from the Justice League Dark, and she wants them to find Pandora for her."

"If they succeed, the world will be destroyed."

After the words of the "Phantom Stranger," the eyes of Steve Trevor, Martian Manhunter, and others converged on Connors again. "Is that so?"

Wonder Woman and Connors had gone out to look for Pandora not long ago. Everyone already knew about it, but this was the first time they heard about the danger of finding the magic box.

"It's possible," Connors said.

"What's the origin of this Phantom Stranger? Should we believe him?" Batman asked.

"My father trusted him," Zatanna said.

Steve Trevor, the leader of the Justice League of America, said with a serious face, "It's not a question of trust or not. We can't let Wonder Woman touch Pandora's Box."

Martian Manhunter was more on the Justice League side. "But what if Wonder Woman is right? What if it was indeed the magic box that corrupted Superman?"

Connors interjected, "The magic box is dangerous. It can have an impact on Superman. Even if it is only possible, we must prevent Wonder Woman from coming into contact with it and prevent accidents from happening to her."

Connors's words were almost final, and Batman immediately took action. "Cyborg, call the Flash, we are ready to take action. You stay with Superman and watch him. Firestorm, Atomica, and Element Woman will also stay. They are all newbies."

Cyborg agreed, extended his tentacle-like ten fingers from Dr. Light's body, and quickly contacted the others.

"Batman is so weird!" "Atomica" looked out of Connors's collar and said.

"He's always been like that." Connors casually said, giving Batman, who was rushing out, a slight pause, and then continued to rush to gather others from the Justice League of America side. Team leader Steve Trevor said to the "Martian Manhunter," "Martian Manhunter, you and Green Arrow stay here and the others follow me."

Just as Steve Trevor, the leader of the Justice League of America, was gathering hands with Batman at the autopsy table at the A.R.G.U.S. medical center, directly below the medical center, in the underground holding cell, another "Steve" pulled out the guardsmen and came to "Superman" alone.

"Hello, Superman." "Steve" greeted and removed the metal device that was covering Superman's head.

"Superman" subconsciously closed his eyes tightly to prevent himself from accidentally losing control and hurting others again. At the same time, he reminded, "You shouldn't do this, Steve, it's not safe."

The smoke rose from "Steve's" body, and his face gradually disappeared, turning into a faceless man. "It's safe, Superman. You're not the murderer, and I'm not Steve."

"I'm a man with a lot of problems in his head, but first I have a question for you."

"Superman, do you want to find out who really killed Dr. Light?"

Superman's eyes were red at this time, and his skin was almost the same as that of the dead Dr. Light. There was a green color everywhere, and he looked very haggard. "But the fact before my eyes is that I killed Dr. Light with my heat vision."

The faceless man, The Question, spoke with an extremely firm tone. "No, you didn't. There was someone else who really killed Dr. Light. I can help you prove it." As he spoke, he unlocked the bonds at Superman's hands and feet.

"You can't do this, it's dangerous," Superman said with some eagerness.

But the "Question" quickly handed over a piece of paper. "Look at this. What will you do next?"

"Cyborg" followed Batman's instructions and, while the others gathered to stop Wonder Woman, arrived alone from the medical center to the underground holding cell. Here the gate was closed, and two columns of guards stood at the door.

"How's Superman? Is there anything unusual?" Cyborg asked.

The guards looked at each other. "Uh, Colonel Trevor was chatting with him, and it seemed like nothing was happening now."

"Steve?" Cyborg's already dark face went darker for a while. Steve was chatting with Superman. Who was next to the autopsy table just now?

Without hesitation, "Cyborg" connected the communication equipment. "Martian Manhunter! Green Arrow! I want you to come down immediately with the rest of the league!"

But his reaction was still slower. The door of the prison room where Superman was imprisoned was blown off, and "Cyborg" was knocked to the ground, half of his body stuck into the concrete floor.

"Connors? Where are you? I need your help!" Cyborg constantly signaled to the person he thought would save him at this point, and before anyone else can respond to him, a figure came out of the shadows.

It was a "Grass Decoy" doppelganger that Connors and Wonder Woman had put in the medical center before they left.

"Cyborg, don't get excited. I'm flying to the location of Justice League Dark in New York—" Connors looked at the "Grass Decoy" and said, "The Superman thing may be related to Dr. Psycho. This is a guy who can control souls. When the killing of Dr. Light happened, Dr. Psycho was nearby."

Cyborg was relieved, and he disarmed his arms, which had become muzzles, from his subconscious. Superman, who had just lifted the prison cell door, also showed a grateful expression and handed over the paper given to him by the "Question."

"Thank you. Cyborg, he was right. The Question brought me the same news."

Cyborg shook his head somewhat in disbelief. "It's impossible. I looked up databases around the world and searched every known criminal in that area." How could the most critical one be missed?

"Maybe I'm lucky because my search method is more analog…" the "Question" replied.

Cyborg took the piece of paper handed by Superman, looked at the message on it, and hesitated. "So what do we do next? Go find this crazy doctor who can control people's hearts? I feel like he looks a little like the monster Thompson."

At this moment, a group of heavily armed soldiers and war mechs rushed over, and Amanda Waller, the top officer of A.R.G.U.S., shouted, "Cyborg, stay away from criminals!"

Cyborg's face showed an impatient expression. "You should stay away from here; the situation is under my control!" With Connors here, even if he was just a clone of a "Grass Decoy," Cyborg and Superman could feel much at ease, and they were very dissatisfied with Amanda's appearance.

"Under your control? Superman just threw a gate weighing more than fifteen tons." Amanda's tone was full of questioning.

Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Element Woman, and Firestorm also came quickly after receiving Cyborg's signal, and happened to meet Amanda.

"Cyborg, what happened?"

Amanda had a serious face and reached out to Superman. "Martian Manhunter, I order you to arrest Superman immediately."

Martian Manhunter, Superman, Cyborg: "…"

Connors originally had most of his thoughts on his main body. At this time, he had arrived at the "Justice League Dark" in New York and was standing face to face with John Constantine. Constantine liked to cheat his teammates, and Connors made superheroes suffer in order to eat melons. Connors should have been preoccupied with meeting his opponent like this, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard Amanda's order.

Constantine opposite was struck with an inexplicable smile by Connors. "When you smile, I always feel like something bad is happening. Go sit in my cabin?"
