Chapter 455: The Mystery of Spy (Part 2)

The roar of the engine in the Batfighter was so loud that Hal had to shout at the top of his voice: "Even if you can fly a plane, why do you bring them with you?!"

Hal turned his head and looked behind through the seat back. At this time, there were actually two child seats behind the cockpit, with Dick and Aisha fixed on them respectively.

"It's too dangerous for children to ride in a fighter!" Hal shouted loudly.

"Don't you think it's not dangerous to leave them in Gotham?"

Alfred pulled the joystick hard, and the fighter accelerated again, but Dick and Aisha sitting in the back seat didn't feel anything.

Dick, who had the green light energy, and Aisha, who was not an ordinary person, were not afraid of this level of turbulence. They even sat in their seats and looked around, looking at the front control panel with some curiosity.

Not only them, Hal soon noticed the unique control panel, which was different from the control panel of any fighter he had seen, but Alfred was very flexible and skilled in operating the Batfighter.

Although the control panel is different, Hal can still see that this is not the first time Alfred has flown a plane.

As he said before, flying a plane is completely different from driving a car. Professional pilots need to undergo professional training. Although there are many talented people, flying a plane is as simple as driving a car, but novices and veterans can be distinguished at a glance.

The distance between Gotham and Metropolis is not far. They are the two closest megacities. Therefore, soon, through the cockpit of the Batfighter, you can see the shadows of the city buildings.

"There is no tower! How can we land?!" Hal asked loudly.

Alfred didn't answer him, but turned his head and looked down, his eyes fell on the parachute bag under the seat. Hal followed his sight and looked at the parachute bag. He said:

"You don't want me to parachute down, do you? ? ? ?"

"You are violating the pilot safety code!" Hal argued, stiffening his neck and said: "I have been a test pilot and worked in ground logistics, and I have never seen you like this..."

Just when he said this, the black muzzle of the double-barreled shotgun pointed at his head. Hal swallowed his saliva and changed the subject: "Of course, there are emergency plans in the pilot safety code. We should adapt to the situation..."

Alfred took the shotgun back, and Hal breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the huge manor close at hand, he sighed again and silently began to prepare for parachuting.

Looking out from the cockpit of the Batfighter, the snow is still flying all over the sky, but among the snowflakes, the spire of the mayor's manor can be vaguely seen. At this time, the atmosphere in the manor is not calm, and it can even be said that the sword is drawn.

As we all know, the styles of Marvel and DC comics are different, not only in art, but also in the storyline and character creation. Similarly, different personalities living in two worlds will also change differently because of this difference.

The most intuitive example is that DC Schiller does not like to work in nature. It does not mean that he does not like the job of university professor, but that in some events, he hopes to pay the least labor, see the most fun, and pay more attention to mental relaxation.

But Marvel Schiller sometimes still does it himself, and is willing to help those superheroes, spend time investigating their situation, giving them psychological treatment, or chatting about economics with the director of some important institutions, the leader of a wizard's holy land, and an alien prince. Compared with mental relaxation, he pays more attention to material gains.

When the two roles were switched, things became a little interesting, because about half an hour ago, Schiller walked out of the guest room and went straight to the basement of the manor.

His idea was very simple. Since he already knew that there were things under the manor, and there might even be some things left by the predecessor of this world, why not just go and get them? Who is playing spy house with you?

Moreover, Schiller's way to go underground was also very simple. He used flash to go directly to the ground floor and then started looking for the entrance.

The reason why he didn't use flash to go directly underground was because he was worried that something unexpected might happen, but gray mist and flash were powerful tools for scanning maps. In less than a few minutes, he had found the entrance to the basement of the manor.

It was a cellar entrance next to the warehouse, a certain distance away from the banquet hall, and it had to pass through the courtyard. This distance was beyond the range of Schiller's flash, so he planned to turn into gray mist and float over.

Logically speaking, in such a snowy day with very low visibility, a cloud of gray fog passing through the middle of the courtyard should not be very obvious, and even if the agents found the abnormality, they could not do anything. Who can stop a cloud of fog?

So, Schiller used flash to come to the ground floor, and after finding the entrance, he directly transformed into the form of gray fog and began to float towards the entrance of the cellar, but by coincidence, Bruce, Lex and Clark were also nearby.

After agreeing to Benjamin's deal, as expected, Lex and Bruce did not intend to follow the plan at all.

They still have their own set of plans.

Although the division of labor is that Benjamin takes the agents to appease the guests in the manor, and then the trio is responsible for finding spies, the real plan made by Lex and Bruce is to go to the underground of the manor to investigate the treasure while Benjamin is appeasing the guests.

Clark strongly condemned this behavior without the spirit of contract, but because he was worried that they would use the dangerous things under the manor to threaten ordinary people, Clark had to follow.

Because they acted earlier, although it took longer to find the entrance, they still found the entrance one step earlier than Schiller.

Schiller, who turned into a gray mist, was floating near the warehouse. When he found three people there, he turned around and left, but it was too late.

Among the three people, Lex was extremely vigilant and had very good eyesight. He immediately discovered a strange fog floating in the direction of the warehouse.

Bruce recognized it immediately. It was his good professor, because he had seen Schiller in this form in the battle of the living hell. He turned to Clark and said, "Stop him!"

"...Stop who?" Clark asked in confusion.

"That fog, stop him, quickly!"

Seeing Bruce's serious expression, Clark didn't think much. He rushed to the gray fog in an instant, then opened his arms and said, "Stop!"

The fog really stopped.

Clark also found that the fog even silently took a step back. He was a little confused. He didn't do anything, just rushed over, then opened his arms, and didn't use any superpowers. Why did it stop?

Bruce walked over with his arms folded, looked at the fog, and then said, "Professor, come out and talk."

The fog first drew an arrow, then pointed at Clark, then turned the arrow to an angle, and then stretched it hard in that direction.

Clark and Lex didn't know what was going on, but Bruce understood what Schiller meant. He turned to Clark and said, "Step back a little."

Clark was a little confused, but he did it anyway. He took two steps back, and then he saw that the gray fog slowly condensed into a human figure, which was Schiller.

"Oh, Professor Schiller, it's you."

Clark was a little surprised, but he was not surprised by Schiller's ability, because Schiller had shown him superpowers before. He was just a little surprised that Schiller would appear here at this time.

As he said that, Clark walked forward and wanted to stand next to Schiller. Schiller pointed at Clark with the umbrella in his hand.

Clark stopped, a little puzzled, and Schiller turned his head and looked at him and said:

"Don't come over."

The way he looked at Clark was like an ordinary person seeing a nuclear bomb with legs running around the street.

The only difference is that if an ordinary person sees a nuclear bomb running around the streets with legs, he must be hallucinating, but Clark is not like that. He is indeed a nuclear bomb with legs that can run around the streets. Not only does he have legs, but he also has wings. He can fly and fly very fast. He can bomb anyone he catches.

"I..." Clark took another half step and wanted to move forward. Schiller silently stepped back half a step and always kept a certain distance from him.

At this time, Bruce's eyes were blurred. Schiller seemed to be afraid of Clark. Why?

Suddenly, he remembered the part where the previous dream ended, and some details he saw, such as when the shock wave spread, he saw the state of the invisible wall shattering, and the broken floors after the floor under his feet collapsed.

Although he was kicked out of the dream directly after that, it was enough for him to infer what happened afterwards.

After inferring that Schiller's thought palace, the Tower of Babel, might have collapsed many floors due to Clark's thought explosion, Bruce suddenly felt that his mood improved.

"It seems that you have also found the entrance and are planning to go down. In this case, I will not disturb you."

After saying that, Schiller turned around and was about to leave, but Bruce stopped him again.

"Do you know what is down there?" Bruce asked.

Schiller shook his head, and Bruce frowned and said, "No, you should know, otherwise, how to explain that dream?"

"Can't I just make it up?"

Seeing that Bruce was still staring at him, Schiller sighed and said, "Okay, I know some clues, but I didn't know them by visiting the scene in person, but inferred them through some other factors."

"What factors?"

Schiller looked at Clark. Clark himself was a little confused, but Schiller still said, "Clark, remember when you discussed with me before, you mentioned that you felt weak when you came near the manor?"

Clark nodded blankly, and seeing Bruce's questioning eyes, Schiller continued, "As far as I know, there is indeed a mineral that can make some people with very strong superpowers feel weak. It is called kryptonite."

Bruce's expression changed slightly. He didn't know whether the "some people with very strong superpowers" mentioned by Schiller specifically referred to Clark, or all people like Clark and Schiller who had special superpowers. If it was the latter, then this mineral must not be in the hands of others and must belong to him.

Obviously, Lex thought so too.

Their alliance broke down almost in an instant.

Originally, if this mineral was aimed at Superman, then they could indeed each have one, but if this mineral could equally weaken all superpowered people, then it would be dangerous for anyone else to get this mineral.

But in fact, this logic does make more sense, because it is unlikely that there is a mineral in this world that is specifically targeted at a certain person.

Moreover, the laboratory under the mayor's manor was built by several mayors before. At that time, Clark might have just been born. There was no reason for that mayor to specially develop a mineral for a newborn baby who had never met him.

Without sufficient factual basis, no matter how smart Lex and Bruce are, they can't come up with a series of complicated alien background stories about Kryptonians and Kryptonite. According to the existing clues, the stone is more likely to target all people with superpowers.

What makes the conflict between Bruce and Lex more intense is that they now have opponents to deal with urgently. In Lex's view, it is Clark, and in Bruce's view, it is Schiller.

They both want to find something that can restrain the other's superpowers, and now, this thing is under their feet.
