Chapter 3072 Mercury Notes (Fifty-eight)
Chapter 3072 Mercury Notes (Fifty-eight)
In the Mercury Base office, the argument continued, and Oliver and Bruce had serious disagreements.
"No, Oliver, we don't have enough evidence. Just based on the clues we know now, we can't prove that Miss Cain is the murderer." Bruce said with his hands on his hips.
"I didn't say that she must be the murderer, but I think in this case, it is better to restrain her first. In this way, if there is another attack later, her suspicion can be eliminated. Isn't it a good thing? ”
"Since we can't prove that she is the murderer, we have no right to imprison her!"
"This is not a prison sentence." Oliver was still trying to convince Bruce. He said: "We just let her stay in a place with better surveillance to help her eliminate suspicion..."
"I don't agree with this either." Clark said: "Kassandra is too young, and such suspicion may cause a psychological shadow on her. Besides, if we don't let her go for a long time, other students will know what happened. No matter what, how will she get along with them in the future? "
Oliver acted a little helpless and continued to persuade. Bruce and Clark firmly disagreed, while Cassandra seemed to be unable to speak and listened quietly from the side without expressing her own opinions at all.
Jenna is also helping Cassandra argue, and Oliver is currently alone until Diana joins the battlefield.
"I have to say that Miss Cain is indeed the most suspected person at present, but the evidence is indeed not enough to prove that she is the murderer. Then we might as well find an excuse to send her back to Earth, and tell the students that she has something to do when she returns to Earth. If she is wronged, she will not be resented."
After she said this, the room fell silent.
Bruce asks the crucial question, "So who's going to send her back?"
There was still silence in the room, and Diana had no choice but to speak again: "I can't go back. Oliver is an ordinary person and may be in danger. Clark wants to stay on Mercury, so I'm afraid Bruce can only make a trip..."
"I'll go." Jenna stretched out her hand and volunteered: "I can also protect Cassandra and prevent anyone from attacking her."
"You have to be careful yourself." Diana said to her: "It's a troubled time now. Come back as soon as you settle down with Miss Cain."
Jenna nodded vigorously, pulled her brother and Cassandra out of the office, and as soon as she left, she let out a sigh of relief.
They ran to the portal in one breath, and Zan grabbed his sister and said, "What the hell are you doing? You've been acting a bit wrong since just now. You winked at Lilith, and now you agree to let Cassandra go to Earth. This Not like you."
"The two of us have telepathy, can't you sense what I'm thinking?"
"Under normal circumstances, I can only sense general emotions, but I do feel that you are not as anxious as before. What exactly happened?"
Zan was about to walk to the portal, but Jenna held him back. Zan said with some confusion, "What's wrong? Didn't I say I wanted to send Cassandra to Earth? Let's go quickly."
"Don't worry." Jenna smiled and said.
At this time, Zan turned around and saw Cassandra looking around, lowering her head and groping the surface of the table with her hands, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
During the time spent with Cassandra, they have discovered that although this Asian girl is taciturn and does not seem to have any mood swings, she is actually very thoughtful and can always notice small details that others cannot.
Just as Zan was about to say something, the portal flashed and a person walked out.
Barry said to the three of them: "It's just you, come with me."
Zan looked confused and didn't know what to do, but Jenna kept up with Barry, Cassandra followed closely, and Zan had no choice but to follow them through the portal.
With a flash of light, we arrived at a familiar yet unfamiliar world. It was not the Earth teleportation station that this teleportation gate was supposed to lead to, but a place that was exactly the same as the Mercury teleportation hall.
What's going on? Zan looked confused and looked around. Did they pass through the portal or not? Why doesn't it seem to have moved anywhere?
Under the leadership of Barry, they walked towards the outside of the portal hall. In the corridor, Zan saw all kinds of students, so they really didn't teleport at all, right?
Zan was not stupid, he suddenly realized, why didn't he see so many students on the way from the office to the teleportation hall?
He recalled the situation at that time. The entire Mercury base was eerily quiet, as if everyone disappeared in an instant. It was not unreasonable to say that the students were hiding because they were afraid of being attacked, but Zan always felt that it was not the case. Simple.
The three of them were taken all the way to a classroom, where they saw several acquaintances, including Bo Nu, Blue Beetle Ted, Golden Pioneer, and several classmates who had been attacked before.
This time Zhan was even more confused. Is this going to hold a victims' association?
Jenna smiled and finally told her brother the truth. She said, "There is a mole in the Justice League."
"What?!"
"When I empathize with Bruce, I can feel that he has known this for a long time and was not completely unprepared. What we had to do at that time was to buy him time."
Zan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he said: "That's why you winked at Lilith, hinting that she could read your mind, so you can tell her your guess."
"Yes, it turns out that my guess is right. Lilith must have read Bruce's mind and knew their plan, so she wanted this and that, pretending to be crazy and stupid to delay time."
Zan nodded. Lilith's way of delaying time was unique, but very effective. It took a long time to deliver each thing she wanted. A performance of the shaman took at least two hours, and a complete performance took a whole night.
"But why did they delay time?" Zan asked, and others gathered around, especially Blue Beetle Ted. Blue Beetle obviously knew something, but didn't tell him, and he was now extremely curious.
"The reason for delaying is to catch the traitor. Obviously, if we start the action the moment we know, we will inevitably be unprepared. Although I think they will not be injured, don't forget that there are so many students in the Mercury base."
Ted pushed aside the others and walked forward and said, "Since you want to transfer the students, hurry up. What are you waiting for now?"
Others also echoed. In their opinion, if you want to transfer, you should gather and transfer quickly instead of continuing normal teaching activities here.
Jenna smiled and said, "It has been transferred a long time ago."
"Ah???"
Others were puzzled, but Jenna smiled and said, "Look carefully at the sun outside the window, don't you think there is anything wrong?"
Hearing her words, everyone turned their heads to look out the window. The mysterious pattern on the sun continued to rotate and flash, and it looked no different from usual.
Because Mercury is too close to the sun, most of the field of vision is blocked by the sun, and it is basically impossible to see the situation in other places in the solar system, but the pattern of the sun looks similar, and no one can see the abnormality.
"Bonu, you are very good at controlling water. How about you take us out to have a look?" Jenna looked at the Atlantis girl.
Bonu was also very curious. He thought that since he had died once and there was a way to revive, it would not be dangerous to do anything. He might as well go out and have a look.
So she controlled the water flow to cover the bodies of several people, allowing them to survive in space, and the blue beetle teleported them out through the glass.
As they gradually left the Mercury base, they were all stunned, because at this time the eight planets in the solar system had become nine planets.
"Don't get me wrong, it's not that the one who was kicked out has returned, but that there is an extra Mercury."
Now there are two planets in Mercury's orbit, both of which are slowly rotating around the sun. And according to the few cosmic science knowledge they have, the position of the Mercury in the distance is correct, and their Mercury is an extra one.
Everyone was stunned.
And if you look more closely, both Mercuries have been transformed and have Mercury bases. From the outside, there is no difference. It's just that the two are facing each other diagonally in orbit. If you don't fly far enough and high enough, you can't see the flaw.
"So what's going on?" Ted asked, "How come there is an extra Mercury out of thin air?"
But Bonu already understood a little. She said, "I understand. When I washed my hands before, I found that the water flow in the base had some abnormal slight tremors. At that time, I thought that the Mercury base started some machine, and the machine had a relatively large power, which caused the overall vibration. Now it seems that the planet is probably changing its orbit."
"The planet is changing its orbit?"
"Yes, do you think such a large super base that almost empties out Mercury will not be able to move?"
Ted's mouth opened wide , which was obviously beyond his understanding. He said, "You mean, the Mercury Base took Mercury away?!"
"Mercury Base is Mercury." Jenna said, "Don't be so surprised. Isn't this something you humans made?"
"But...but...this shouldn't be something humans made." Ted stammered, "Humans' cars haven't even started flying yet, how can they take Mercury away?"
"It's true that this thing was developed by humans, because all the equipment inside is obviously adapted for humans, but it may not be this batch of humans." Blue Beetle spoke up, and it said, "Now There is a future man standing in front of you, what else is impossible? "
Golden Pioneer nodded and said: "It is true that the technology of future humans has been very advanced, but at that time I didn't hear about any planetary battleships. This kind of equipment may come from a more distant future. "
"I already understand this part." Zan nodded and said: "A base equipment that occupies 80% of the mass of Mercury secretly moved its position, allowing the Mercury where the students are to come here, but what about the fake Mercury? Why did they move Mercury first and then create a fake one? "
"Of course it is to confuse the inner ghost. "Jenna said: "The inner ghost is not stupid. He knows how much the Justice League values the students. As long as he stays inside the base, he will feel that the Justice League dare not easily take action with him, because this is very likely to endanger the students. "
"And as long as he is still inside the base, he can capture hostages at any time and use them to negotiate with the Justice League. There is always a way out. The Justice League is to give him such an illusion, so they let the real Mercury leave first, and then create a fake one, so that the inner ghost will mistakenly think that the current situation is still in his favor and will not escape easily. "
"So that's how it is." Ted also understood it completely. He said, "In order to stabilize the inner traitor, this kind of substitution method must be adopted. But it is stabilized, but in the end, don't we have to fight? Mercury is so close to the sun. If the sun is endangered, not to mention the students, the earth will be finished with it."
"I don't know about that." Jenna shook her head and said, "But don't you think it's a bit strange? Humans in this era can't build a Mercury base at all, so where did this fake Mercury base come from? And it was restored to be exactly the same as the real one in such a short time. Obviously, there is something fishy, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the fake Mercury in the correct position turned green.
