Chapter 3091 Mercury Notes (Fifty-One)
Chapter 3065 Mercury (51)
Jason was more open-minded in this regard. He pulled Dick and said, "The sun of occultism is different from the one we see. Don't get too entangled."
"So where is the door you were talking about?"
Faust shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific location, but it must be related to the sun. It should be the place where the sun rises or sets in the mystical sense..."
Dick had a completely different idea than him. He said, "Can we just go to the sun?"
"What?"
"I mean go into space and wait directly next to the sun to see if a carriage will come to pick him up."
This method obviously confused Faust. The world in the eyes of the archmages is completely different from that of modern people. Space is an unfamiliar field to them.
"You can try it." Jason said: "Although the sun in the mystical world is not exactly the same as the sun in reality, there must be some relationship. Maybe it can really block the Sun God."
"That's ridiculous," Faust commented.
However, a few people ignored him and felt that their own idea was more reasonable. Dick also said: "Just now the Justice League is short of people. We can go directly to Mercury and help them keep an eye on it."
After searching Mount Olympus again, nothing was found. The group returned along the original path. Fortunately, the gate to the underworld was not closed, and they returned to Earth smoothly.
It is also worth mentioning that when Elsa was rolling around, Raven and Fna teamed up to drag the bodies of Ares and Hades back. It would be best if they could be resurrected later. If they couldn't be resurrected, they could still be used as pawns for Elsa. Teething stick, the main thing is not to waste.
Dick and Jason led several people to Wayne Tower, preparing to go to Mercury through the portal here. However, due to safety needs, their newly recruited Fu Na and Billy and the captured Faust did not go with them. and stayed in Wayne Tower to be monitored and protected by Tim.
Bruce was also very happy to learn that they were coming, but he also made it clear that he couldn't spare the energy to investigate anything now. There was no other reason. Mercury had not stopped in the past few days.
The Ted attack case was not over. Not long after, someone was injured again. At this time, the surveillance had almost no blind spots. However, because the attacker attacked from behind, the victim blocked his body and could not take pictures. Looking at the whole picture, only one arm can be seen.
Then the camera was damaged again, followed by some teaching equipment, and finally students were attacked one after another.
The situation became more and more serious, and the remaining professors on Mercury had to convene another meeting.
At the same time that Dick arrived, Bruce summoned everyone from the Justice League to study who the murderer was.
The first ones to arrive were still Oliver and Clark. When Diana came in later, Oliver was observing the conference room and said, "Why isn't it in the conference room upstairs this time? It's more spacious there."
Bruce sighed and said, "Look how many people we have left. Is it necessary to occupy the big conference room?"
"Yes." Clark rubbed his forehead. In the past few days, he had been constantly patrolling inside and outside without even taking a break for half a minute. If the sun hadn't provided enough power, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
Diana had already begun to stare at the photos. She first saw the first case after Ted, and then said: "What we can confirm now is that the murderer is relatively petite, otherwise he would not be killed by a man who is one meter tall. Seven people were blocked."
"I feel like it's a girl." Oliver said, "Although the size of the frame can't be seen from this angle, it feels like the body fat should be slightly higher than that of a male."
Unexpectedly, Bruce put down a photo and said: "I called everyone here again because I have new clues. The light this time is pretty good, and I can see the skin color."
Clark and Oliver stood up immediately, and Diana hurriedly came over, because skin color is indeed very important evidence, especially since many students have cold skin. Photographing skin color can very well narrow down the scope of suspects.
The skin color shown in the photo is neither blue nor white, but yellow.
There are not many yellow people in the base. Some Mexicans are considered yellow people, but their skin is darker. There are three yellow people with this color, namely the Magic Twins and Cassandra Cain.
Bruce sighed softly and said, "I have asked someone to invite them over. I think they need to give an explanation."
The Magic Twins and Cassandra arrived soon. Jenna was also shocked when she saw the photo. When she learned the specific information of the photo, she shook her head and said, "No, at this time my brother and I We were in class in the classroom, and the surveillance camera captured us all the time, so we have a sufficient alibi.”
Bruce nodded, obviously knowing this. He turned to look at Cassandra again. Cassandra still had no expression on her face and said nothing. Jenna pulled her sleeve anxiously.
The two of them are classmates, and their relationship is not very close, but Jenna admires Cassandra's fighting skills and occasionally observes her secretly during class. Of course, she has also used psychoanalysis on her, and feels that this girl's past is quite good. Too bad, it's unlikely that he's the one causing the trouble.
"Miss Cain was taking a shower at that time." Bruce sighed and said, "Originally, there should be cameras in the bathroom, but considering that there are some minors among you, we ended up not installing them and only installed surveillance cameras at the door."
"Even so, it is almost impossible for someone to leave the bathroom quietly." Clark said, "Apparently she persuaded Bruce not to add cameras in the bathroom. She said that the windows were also tightly sealed, and water molecules could not pass through. There were cameras in the oxygen supply pipes and even in the water pipes. Moreover, magic protection without blind spots was installed, and no magic could be used inside."
Cassandra took a look at the photo, shook her head and said nothing. Jenna became her mouthpiece. She said, "If it was Cassandra, she would not use such a lame method. Her fighting would be more efficient, and she was so close to him that she could kill him directly."
Diana sighed and said, "I don't think it's possible either. Cassandra's grades are excellent, especially in fighting. She has a talent far beyond ordinary people. Although she doesn't talk much, she knows how to stop in time on the ring. She is not the kind of person who would hurt her classmates."
The discussion was deadlocked, but Bruce said, "We don't have to recognize Cassandra as the murderer, because it is obvious that doing so will not do her any good. What good is that..."
"Wait a minute." Oliver suddenly stared at the student list and said, "It seems that the students who were attacked have fought with Miss Cain?"
Others looked at Diana. Diana took the list of victims, looked at it, nodded and said, "It seems so. The fight in my class has been going on for 12 rounds. Cassandra ranks well, but after all, she is limited by the human body. Even if she is not allowed to use superpowers, her physical fitness is not as good as some Atlanteans and aliens."
"This can't be used as evidence." Zan said, "I also defeated Cassandra in one round of the fight, but I was not attacked."
Oliver took the list and recalled it carefully, saying, "These students have bad tempers. I remember that in my debate class, they always got emotional and turned the matter into personal attacks. Have they offended you? Cassandra?"
This is a bit serious, as if Cassandra is directly defined as a suspect, but Cassandra just doesn't speak, and others can't defend her.
Finally, Jenna said, "Why don't we call Lilith over? Can't she read minds? Wouldn't it be clear if she reads it?"
"But the mastermind can control people's minds." Diana said, "Just like the Blue Beetle, it is also helpless. If the memory is modified in advance, I am afraid that nothing can be read."
"Let's ask her to come over first." Bruce said, "Where is she now?"
Clark sent a communication to Lilith, and then said, "The school hospital, her mental state is not very good, and she is receiving treatment now. Doctor Brand said to bring her here in 10 minutes."
Taking this opportunity, the others began to re-analyze the photos, while Jenna pulled Cassandra aside and began to persuade her to defend herself. Cassandra was not anxious at all, which made Jenna sweat all over her forehead.
In order to determine how many people on the field believed that Cassandra was innocent, Jenna had to activate her empathy ability again, and then she was stunned.
She blinked and looked to the left, and then blinked and looked to the right, as if she couldn't believe what she felt.
Jenna showed a confused expression, but Cassandra reached out and patted her. After a while, Jenna shook her head.
Soon Lilith was brought over. The first thing she did when she came was to read Jenna's mind, because Jenna had been winking at her crazily since she entered the door.
Lilith read the contents of Jenna's mind, and she was also stunned. Then she had to read Bruce's mind again. After standing there for a while, she collapsed on the chair with a pale face, covering her chest and said: "That kind of terror is still spreading in my heart. I can't do anything..."
Her breathing was very rapid. Clark saw that she was uncomfortable, so he ran up to help her breathe, and then said: "Don't be stressed, Miss Lilith, it's best if you can help. If not, no one here can force you, take a deep breath..."
Clark kept comforting Lilith, but Lilith's condition was visibly getting worse and worse. In the end, she even needed an oxygen tank. Several people were busy for a long time before Lilith finally recovered.
Diana said, "Are you okay? Or we can meet again another day..."
"I'm fine." Lilith suddenly sat up straight, widened her eyes and said, "I have inspiration, I feel the signs given to me by the stars..."
"Can you predict?"
"No, it's still very vague, I need... I need water, give me water, so that I can see the signs more clearly..."
Clark quickly poured her some water, but Lilith waved her hand and said, "No, not this kind of water, I want water full of vitality, flowing, boundless..."
Several people didn't know she What did she want? But Jenna grabbed her brother and said, "Quick, brother, turn into water. You must be the life-giving water she wants!"
Zan had no choice but to turn into a pool of water. Lilith jumped on it with trembling body, staring at the water and said, "I saw a blazing sun rising... No, it's not enough. I need the feather of the divine bird..."
The others were confused again. Where can they get the feather of the divine bird? As a result, Jenna activated her ability and turned into the legendary phoenix, and asked Clark to pluck one of her feathers.
Lilith put the feather on the water and kept stirring it to create various water ripples. She said she saw the rising sun, then the falling moon, then the singing of the stars, the flight of creatures, the annihilation of the universe...
In the meantime, she wanted the water of life, then the fire of the sun, then the fragments of meteorites, the fluff of newborn babies, the scales of albino two-headed snakes, the nails of giant terror birds...
It can be said that it was fortunate that Bruce Wayne was present. If someone else was there, it would be impossible to satisfy her strange and bizarre requirements that were like opening a museum.
So what did she predict in the end?
She didn't predict anything, because she started to get sick halfway through the prediction, twitching and shouting, and was finally taken back by Brand.
And at this time, Dick and his people waiting on Mercury finally found traces of the sun god Helios around the sun.
The plan went through
