Chapter 429: Mystery in the Metropolis (XV)

After a "bang", Benjamin fell to the ground. Schiller watched Benjamin slowly fall down. He looked up and looked at Lex in surprise.

Schiller was really a little surprised. Lex's behavior logic was beyond his expectations.

Although he knew that Lex was not controlled, he had no idea why Lex attacked Benjamin. Benjamin pointed out that he was the murderer, but did not point out that Lex was the murderer. Why did Lex hit him?

Schiller thought about the whole thing in his mind.

Lionel invited him to the reception room and wanted to threaten him with something. Then he hit Lionel with the umbrella handle, knocked Lionel to the ground and left.

After that, Selena wanted to come to the reception room to install surveillance, and ran into Lionel who had just climbed up from the ground. The two had some conflicts. Selena swung a vase to hit Lionel, knocked him to the ground again, and left.

Benjamin might want to discuss something with Lionel, so he came to the reception room, but Lionel, who had broken his defense, cursed at Benjamin and revealed to Benjamin the fact that Schiller had killed someone in an incident two years ago. Benjamin had a conflict with him and knocked him out.

Benjamin is an agent, and his control of strength should be reliable. As the person in charge of a certain official force, he could not kill Luther, that is, until this time, Lionel was not dead, but just fainted.

But now, Lionel lying on the ground must be dead, that is, the first, second, and third person who met with Lionel did not kill him, and the one who really killed him was the fourth murderer.

Schiller looked at Lex and asked, "Did you kill Leonel?"

"No." Lex shook his head and said, "He committed suicide, or died accidentally."

With his description, time went back to when Benjamin left the room.

Although Benjamin did not kill Luther, it was against the agent code to knock him unconscious here, so he left the room quickly without noticing the slightest noise in the bathroom in the reception room.

A few seconds after he left, the bathroom door opened and Lex walked out.

He walked over, glanced at Lionel lying on the ground, and took out a small transparent bag from his arms, which contained a small pill.

Lex stuffed the pill into the mouth of the unconscious Lionel, then took a cup, went to the bathroom to get a glass of water, and splashed it on Lionel's face.

After a while, Lionel finally woke up. When he saw Lex's face, he was choked for a while, coughed violently a few times, and got up from the ground trembling all over.

"You...you..."

"Are you going to ask why I'm here and why I didn't stay in the room properly?" Lex said.

Lionel was a little exhausted. He was not a young man anymore. It was impossible for him to stay fully awake after being hit on the head repeatedly. He just got up for a while and then fell to the ground again. He widened his eyes and looked at Lex who was smiling and said, "How could you...didn't you take medicine???"

Hearing his words, Lex showed a bored expression. He stroked his hair and said, "I haven't taken medicine since two years ago, and you didn't even notice it."

"What should I say? Father...you are so stupid that it scares me."

Lex lowered his head and looked at Lionel who was lying on the ground and said, "You tortured and killed my mother in front of me, and then when I just showed my genius, you forced me to use tranquilizers so that I couldn't think or speak."

"When you need my wisdom, you will reduce my dosage and get the answer from me. Because of this, the business of Luther Group is booming, because every important I made all the decisions. "

Lex took a deep breath and said, "When you needed me to make a decision, you reduced the dosage, so that I could have some normal emotions. At that time, I even felt very happy..."

"Because you are my father, you need me very much, at least at that moment, you love me."

"I thought normal people were like this. If I give you the right advice, you will smile at me and say that I did a good job and that I am your dear son."

Lex's eyes were shining. He lowered his head and looked at Lionel's bloodshot eyes, and then said:

"Until two years ago, someone liberated me from this state..."

"He saved me, but more importantly, his behavior taught me a common sense, that is, you are abnormal."

Lionel's throat made a "cough cough" sound, his face was abnormally red, and he felt that his blood flow was very fast and his heartbeat was also accelerating.

"I mean abnormal, not just the abuse you have inflicted on me, but... you are really an idiot, so stupid that it gives everyone a headache." Lionel's eyes revealed endless anger, but at this time, he was a little speechless. Lex walked over, squatted beside his head, looked at him and said:

"The most ironic thing is that in order to cooperate with your stupidity, a group of people who are so smart that they can't be any smarter have to use this most straightforward method to kill you."

"Do you feel your heart beating all the time? Do you feel it beating a little faster? That's right, that's the proof that you are alive, although you will die soon."

Lex stood up, his shadow cast on Lionel's face, making his whole face sink into the shadow, and all the expressions he made at this time were a little unclear.

Lex turned to leave. Before he left, he looked back and said:

"Oh, yes, I forgot that the person who saved me was Professor Rodriguez, whom you hated the most."

"And now, I was just about to ask him if he was willing to be my godfather, and you..."

"Not only are you not a genius, you are not even worthy of being the father of a genius. Goodbye, Luther."

As Lex left, Lionel covered his heart, opened his mouth wide, and coughed like he was dying. Then he straightened his back fiercely. After a moment of painful expression on his face, his eyes gradually became blurred and his breathing gradually stopped.

"He died of cardiac arrest. I did give him some medicine, but it was just the most common kind. I saw my father fainted on the ground, so it was reasonable to use some emergency medicine, right?" Lex said.

Schiller looked down at Benjamin who was also lying there. After he walked over, he turned to look at Lex and said, "Although I don't know why you are so anxious to attack him, I have to tell you that the way you attacked him will make it difficult for him to faint for too long."

"Now, he should be almost awake... Oh, it seems that he is really awake."

As Schiller's voice fell, Benjamin moved a little, twisted his neck, covered his neck with his hand, and then tried hard to get up from the ground.

Schiller not only turned his umbrella upside down, with his hand facing down and the tip of the umbrella facing up, he held the middle part of the umbrella with both hands and poked it down hard.

With a "bang", Benjamin fell to the ground again.

Bruce next to him swallowed his saliva. There was no outsider here, so he didn't pretend. He stood up, tidied his clothes, and then walked to Benjamin and began to search him very skillfully.

After touching Benjamin's body and the pockets on his clothes, Bruce found nothing. He stood up and looked at Schiller and said, "What's going on? What did you do here two years ago?"

"I said I lost my memory, do you believe me?" Schiller answered very confidently.

Bruce recalled his experience in Schiller's mind hall, and then slowly shook his head.

"The Fairy Tree"

"I can tell you very seriously that I have indeed lost my memory. I have an impression of what I did before, but I have no memory of this incident."

Schiller stroked the handle of his umbrella and looked at Bruce and asked, "Do you want to judge me?"

Bruce took two steps forward and came to the opposite side of Schiller. He looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "I want to find out the truth of this matter. This is related to the future situation of the East Coast and Gotham."

As he said, he looked at Benjamin who was lying on the ground and said, "He told me that he had sent agents into Gotham to investigate the Philby List and Soviet agents."

"Do you want to find the Soviet agent?" Schiller narrowed his eyes and looked at Bruce. He asked very bluntly, "What are you going to do after you find him? Hand him over to the CIA?"

"I don't care whether the Federation allows espionage work. I only know that Gotham does not allow it. I will not let such an uncertain and dangerous person move freely in this city." Bruce's answer was very Batman-like.

"Bruce, you should know that whether I really have lost my memory or not, you will not get the answer you want from me." Schiller's attitude was very indifferent. He said, "My past is only about me, not you."

Bruce obviously did not intend to give up. The two of them stood in the room, and the atmosphere became solemn again. Compared with the confrontation between Schiller and Benjamin, this storm was bigger and more dangerous.

At this moment, the "click" sound of the gun being loaded sounded, and Bruce rolled on the spot.

With a "bang", a bullet hit the place where Bruce was standing.

The black muzzle of the gun fell, and behind it was Lex Luthor's face.
