Chapter 872 Awareness
"That's not like Bane."

The athlete also squatted beside the unconscious believer, grabbed him roughly and slapped him in the face.

A very loud slapping sound echoed throughout the small control center. The hood of the attacked believer was blown off. Looking at the swollen cheeks, one could not help but wonder if this person would be slapped to death.

"Hiss~Ah!" The believer subconsciously covered his cheeks after waking up. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the athlete's cold eyes and was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

"Tell me, what happened?" The athlete released his right hand from the cultist's collar. "Who attacked you?"

"Report... Report!" The believer covered his mouth, his voice sounding strange because of his swollen face. "I... I don't know, I don't even know what happened..."

"A very effective anesthetic." King Snake extracted a key piece of information from the cultist's words. "This kind of high-quality stuff is hard to come by, let alone on Santa Prisca Island."

The implication is that Bane, who is at the end of his rope, should not be able to get this thing, and someone else should have attacked the control center.

The athlete agreed with the king snake and began to scan the room. His efforts paid off and he soon found something useful.

The athlete pushed away the believer who was sitting in front of him, leaned under the chair in front of the operating table, reached out and picked up something from underneath.

The thing looked very inconspicuous, a black sphere with a crack in the middle, and looked like a capsule that stored something.

The athlete with rich criminal experience recognized what this thing was at a glance, and he was also very familiar with the owner of this thing.

"Hypnotic gas bombs, Batman?"

The king cobra had also eaten and seen this thing before, so of course he could recognize it, but his statement was not supported by the athlete, who just shook his head and said.

"No, it's not Batman. If it was the latter, then the rest of the Justice League would have come with him. We would have been wiped out long ago."

The athlete thought about it, and immediately came to his mind the group of children who had been very active recently. Among them was Batman's little helper, and the other party should be using this kind of equipment.

"It's Robin. It looks like Young Justice has infiltrated Santa Prisca Island."

"So, what we are doing here has been known by the Justice League?" Wang Snake frowned at first, then raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"That's great! I thought they were blind and couldn't find this place."

After hearing this, the athlete raised the corners of his mouth under the mask and said, "Very good. Now we just need to get those kids to do something more, King Snake?"

"I've already informed my followers," King Snake nodded. "They've already blocked the entrances to Bane's secret passages, and have also deployed troops in the flatter areas."

"It's not that easy for them to escape."

...

'Honestly, what did you find?'

In the long tunnel, the members of the Young Justice League were retreating. Wally, who was very curious, couldn't help but ask in the mind channel.

"The Cobra Cult is just a bunch of minions. The Illuminati is behind Santa Prisca Island." Robin knew everyone had questions, so he didn't hold back and simply shared what he had found. This statement was so informative that it stunned those who knew about the Illuminati.

"What...would?" Wonder Girl, being a newbie, didn't know, so Wally kindly explained it to her immediately.

"Simply put, it's a group of criminals hiding in the shadows. Their scale is incredibly large, and everything else remains a mystery. Incidentally, we rescued Weapon O from them."

Wonder Girl took the time to glance at Happy. She had no idea that he had such a past.

"Let's wait until we get back to chat." Robin interrupted the conversation between the two. Even though telepathy doesn't require any sound, the sound that appears directly in the mind will still distract others.

The two stopped talking immediately and began to retreat with full concentration. It must be said that the Young Justice League is becoming more and more like a regular team. Not only do they listen to Robin's words, but they also pay attention to teamwork in their daily lives.

For example, now, even when retreating, Kid Flash would not deliberately show off his proud speed and run far away first, but would follow the main force to evacuate in an orderly manner.

"We're almost there." Robin felt a breeze coming from the front, and when he looked up, he saw the cave entrance with a faint light.

"Wait a moment, everyone. There's something going on up ahead." The Martian girl suddenly spoke, pulling everyone aside. The color of her irises changed slightly, clearly indicating she was using her special vision.

"There's a group of people hiding in the woods fifty meters ahead of the tunnel entrance."

"How quick!" Robin gritted his teeth. The Illuminati were smarter than he'd thought. Bane had been kept in the dark by them. He was still dreaming of taking back the processing plant, but he had no idea that they had already figured out his hometown.

If Bane rushed in rashly, he would probably just experience failure again.

"Martian girl, how many people are there on the other side?"

The Martian girl took a quick look around and said, "There are about twenty people. I'm not sure if any of them have a device that can evade infrared detection."

"This information is enough." Robin lowered his head and thought for a while. "It seems that this matter cannot be resolved peacefully. We can only fight our way out."

This is not a solution. Now that they have been exposed, this is the only way out for them. After all, there is signal interference here, and they cannot ask for help from the Justice League.

"Remember to move quickly. We need to eliminate everyone before the enemy's reinforcements arrive!"

'Received!' ×5
...

Outside the tunnel, a group of Cobra Cult members were lying in ambush in the bushes. They did not complain because the mission was boring or tiring. This was because the interest of the Cobra Cult was different from that of ordinary criminal organizations.

The Cobra Cult, the word "cult" can explain everything. Like those evil cults that harm people, they also rely on brainwashing with doctrines to control their subordinates.

Brainwashed people are far more loyal than the average criminal gang members. Not only do they not ask for high rewards, some will even dedicate everything they have to the organization.

This kind of organization is the most difficult to eliminate, even the Justice League finds it a headache.

At this time, this group of fanatical believers were guarding outside the tunnel, waiting for those who blasphemed the holy religion to run out, and then they would surround them and capture them all.
