Half a month later, a brief conference communication was sent to the contact device of Shane.

This is not the Communicator that was borrowed for every temporary mission before, but a customized model specially designed by Justice League.

Currently, there are only five Metahumanss who hold this special contact device. In addition to Shane, Wonder Woman and Aquaman also have one.

Princess Themyscira and King Atlantis carefully maintain the stability of their respective ethnic groups, but at the same time they are worried about the world.

But eventually there were some changes.

"After Crime Syndicate appeared, some people began to chant, they hope to see a complete Justice League."

"There is no doubt that if Wonder Woman and Aquaman had not come to help last time, the damage those guys could have caused to Fawcett City is simply unimaginable."

"Where did Flash go? Justice League has been claiming that Flash has not recovered from his serious injury. Is there anything worth thinking about behind this?"

"Since Wonder Woman and Aquaman withdrew from Justice League, the once most impressive Superhero organization has fallen into an embarrassing situation of being stretched thin."

"There are simply not enough manpower. No matter how strong Superman is, he still has no skills. But there are so many crises in the world that need Superman.

Shane, who arrived early at Watchtower, was lazily leaning on the conference table, resting his chin on one hand and scrolling through his phone boredly with the other.

Seeing those hot posts on the Internet calling for Justice League to return to integrity, Shane couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't expect that after Teacher Prince and the others left, the world's reputation for Superman would drastically change."

Cyborg, who seemed to have never left Watchtower, turned his head, and his electronic eyes briefly glowed with blue light.

"According to statistics, after the crisis of confidence incident, the average number of times Superman needs to be dispatched per day has increased by 70%. However, as Clark, he has a real job, which has undoubtedly taken up all the time he can squeeze out."

"Natural disasters, Supervillain, terrorists, some large-scale rescue missions that Diana and Arthur were originally capable of, now all fall on Superman's head."

"Even ordinary people can see that since Justice League withdrew some of its members, many criminals around the world have begun to increase their activity."

"The number of armed robberies, petty thefts, gang conflicts, drug transactions and other incidents that Superman could handle in his spare time increased by 1,700%."

Shane straightened up, said a slightly exaggerated wow, and then lay back on the table without interest.

"Yeah, those ordinary people don't know why Wonder Woman and Aquaman want to quit Justice League. They only know that when they are accidentally blocked in an alley and robbed, they may no longer be able to call out Superman or other Superhero."

"When the incident about Crime Syndicate is added to make them angry, people can't help but think that if they encounter this kind of criminal organization next time that can rival Justice League, Wonder Woman and Aquaman will be unable to escape because of the affairs of their respective ethnic groups."

"Green Lantern and Flash disappeared for several months."

"Superman is likely to lose, Justice League is likely to lose."

"The result is that no one now considers the Superman threat theory that Luthor previously promoted, and the rhetoric has reversed - I heard that you can often see demonstration organizations holding signs and shouting slogans at the door of New York's Hall of Justice."

"The original weekly training plan was stopped more than 20 days ago."

Shane's training plan often lasts for dozens of hours once it is started, otherwise it will not be effective at all. But now Superman even Justice League's meeting time has to be counted in seconds.

While Shane and Cyborg were chatting, the other members who received the communication finally arrived at Watchtower in batches.

In the past, Superman, who was not the first, but would at least arrive after Batman, actually revealed an indescribable feeling of fatigue in his eye sockets.

Shane can see that it is not that the steel body is weak, but some kind of mental fatigue.

Those posts on the Internet shouting that the world needs complete Justice League have actually appeared for a long time, but it was only in the past month that it became a hot topic on various websites and media.

Of course Superman, who is a journalist in reality, can also see it.

But Superman has no position to persuade Wonder Woman and Aquaman to return to Justice League. His Virgin-like sense of responsibility prompts him to constantly squeeze himself. While completing practical work every day, he also has to put out fires everywhere with high intensity."

But now Justice League has four fewer generals than before, not counting other members who have withdrawn, and Superman has only twenty-four hours in a day.

Shane originally thought that when Superman was in such a state, he would inevitably feel a little resentful towards Batman, who had caused the crisis of trust in the first place.

But Superman, who was sitting down, just muttered.

"I really don't know how Batman does it. It is said that he only sleeps four hours a day when he is most free?"

Shane was a little dumbfounded.

That's right.

According to the physical ratio between the two parties, Batman has maintained the same busy rhythm in Gotham as Superman does now for more than ten years.

After Superman finished mumbling, he raised his head and looked at Shane with a little apology in his eyes.

"Sorry, I may still need to take time off for training this week----"

Shane waved his hands dumbfounded.

"You are busy with your work. San Francisco's Titans Tower is almost finished. I don't have much free time recently."

Wonder Woman showed a slightly unbearable look and began to ask Superman in a low voice if he needed help.

Aquaman-Aquaman, who has not been engaged in Superhero activities for several months, seems to have gained some weight.

Strictly speaking, many political affairs of Atlantis actually do not require him to really worry about. The result is that Aquaman spends most of his time sitting in the chair doing nothing.

Only when Batman coughed lightly did everyone around the conference table stop whispering.

Even Shane sat obediently in his seat, straightened his back and raised his ears.

There must be something important to talk about in a meeting where a non-staff employee like him can be summoned.

"Flash is about to wake up."

Batman is a king when he opens his mouth.

Shane can even see Superman's originally low-pitched eyes suddenly light up.

"However, based on the information we learned from the previous Crime Syndicate incident and the data research during this period, we are almost certain that the awakening of Flash will bring certain changes to the world.

Shane actually had an expression of sudden realization.

It turns out that today's sudden meeting was like this.

In fact, he has already read everything that will happen next in Monarch's memory.
