Chapter 3023 Mercury Record (IX)
There were six people standing in the reception hall, three men and three women. Schiller recognized several of them as soon as he walked in.
The Asian girl standing at the very edge should be Cassandra. She looks similar to Cassandra in most universes and has a petite figure. However, from her cold eyes and the muscular lines on her body, it can be seen that she is definitely not simple.
The man and woman standing in the front of the group are the magical twins, who look exactly like those in the vampire universe. Jenna is still the girl with short black hair, her eyes rolling around, and she looks like a mischievous child.
Standing near the door was a red-haired girl in green clothes. At first glance, I thought it was Pamela, but her skin was paler than Pamela, her makeup was heavier, she had a good figure, and her dress was the most fashionable among everyone present. Schiller guessed that she should be Lilith, the omen.
Not far from Lilith stood two young men in sweatshirts. Both of them were in good shape, tall and handsome. On the shoulder of one of them was a blue beetle. He should be Ted Code, codenamed Blue Beetle.
The other blond boy was taller than him, with smooth muscles and looked like an excellent athlete, but his expression was a little decadent, and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he had not had a good sleep for a long time. Schiller thought he should be the Golden Pioneer Michael Carter.
When Schiller and his friends walked in, the young people immediately started shouting. Some shouted Diana's name, and some recognized Oliver. They suddenly surrounded him and wanted autographs, especially Blue Beetle and Golden Booster, who looked like the common, particularly excited white teenagers.
Cassandra watched all this coldly, without even an expression on her face. Only when she saw Oliver did her eyes flicker slightly, but if Schiller hadn't observed carefully, it wouldn't have been noticeable at all.
The magical twins from outer space have been talking in their native dialect, but from the way they glanced over from time to time, it can be seen that they are probably discussing the people who have just arrived.
It seemed that Tianzhao Lilith didn't want to deal with this bunch of young people. She took a small mirror and touched up her makeup.
"Okay, okay, let's introduce them!" Bruce said in a raised voice, "You all must know who I am, so I won't say much. This is Clark Kent, also known as Superman. Most of the photos of Batman you see were taken by him."
"This is Diana, codenamed Wonder Woman, and the princess of Paradise Island. This is Oliver. You may have seen his photo on the current affairs news. He is the founder and leader of the Mexican Revolutionary Army."
"This is Professor Schiller, a world-renowned psychologist and professor of your future psychology courses."
Then Bruce asked them to introduce themselves. The identities of these people were exactly the same as Schiller had guessed, and their conditions were also different.
Cassandra was originally a trained killer. It doesn't matter which organization she joins. Her kung fu is really good. She can fight with Wonder Woman and Superman with her ordinary body. Now Bruce's adopted sons probably can't even defeat her. She should be the best physical fighter in the Young Justice League in the future.
Omen Lilith chewed bubble gum and accurately said what Bruce had eaten three days ago, but she did not make a prophecy. According to herself, the prophecy was not something she thought up, but was given to her by some kind of power, which she could not say when there was no power.
Blue Beetle is even more unlucky. His origin story is similar to most Blue Beetles. He is not the first generation of Blue Beetle. His teacher is the one who was recognized by Blue Beetle, but he died in an accident and left Blue Beetle to him before he died.
It turns out that this bug created as an alien weapon has its own intelligence. Others don't think highly of it and simply don't listen to it. When they tell it to go east, it goes west. When they tell it to have diarrhea, it doesn't. So far, it has no combat power. Blue Beetle himself failed in his business and is in debt.
Booster Gold is a man from the future, from the 25th century, who stole an exhibit from a museum and traveled to the past, also stealing a ring that could be used to fly and a Force device.
He was also somewhat unlucky in the original timeline. He was originally a good athlete, but his damn father tricked him into gambling. After the team found out, he was fired, and his career was ruined.
The magical twins have been on Earth for some time. They speak English with almost no accent. Their superpowers are to bump fists, and then one turns into water and the other turns into an animal. They don't look very strong at the moment, and can even be said to be the weakest among this group of people.
However, because of Jenna's performance in the vampire universe, Schiller is very optimistic about this smart girl. There are many people with super powers, but very few smart people.
Sure enough, in the last part of Jenna's self-introduction, she looked at Bruce and said, "Honestly, Mr. Wayne, you look much younger than you do on TV. I thought a boss who could run such a big company so well would be more mature and stable."
This flattery was extremely accurate. Bruce was extremely happy. Jenna smiled at him and said, "Can my brother and I go to your class? It will be very interesting. You earthlings have a saying, interest is the best teacher."
Bruce happily agreed.
Schiller, who was standing nearby, also smiled because he had a feeling that a good show was about to begin.
The day passed quickly, with most of the students getting familiar with their dormitories, getting to know each other and communicating. Later, the class schedule arrived. Of course, the courses were very densely scheduled, but that was nothing for these geniuses selected from various ethnic forces.
Another special thing is that Seastorm from the original Teen Titans is actually here too, but he is counted as an Atlantean and not an independent hero.
Formal classes started the next day, and teachers observed students' qualifications through the day's classes.
What makes people happy is that the average qualifications of the students are quite good. It can be said that each of them has amazing qualifications. They can understand things quickly and it is not difficult to teach them.
Schiller felt that perhaps participating in the fighting world stimulated several official members of the Justice League, making them realize that the progress of this universe was a bit behind, and this time they finally had to spend all their capital.
Even though they are all geniuses, there are still differences in their levels. Among all the young students, there are a few who are particularly outstanding, including Jenna, the younger sister of the Wonder Twins.
She was really very smart and likable, and soon became loved by all the official members with her excellent grades and lively personality.
It must be said that Bruce still has some Batman habits. Whenever he sees a smart and good-looking child, he wants to take her home to be Robin. Although Bruce feels that he is still a child, he really likes this smart little girl.
The main thing is that other Batmans all have a Batgirl, and Gordon on my side can't be relied on. Little Jenny will take more than ten years to grow up. I don't know why Cassandra didn't come to Gotham on time, and the two of them only met now. Elsa... being a Batgirl is a bit unfair to her, her species should be a Megalodon.
Bruce thinks Jenna is a good choice, definitely better than any other Batgirl, and will definitely get along well with Dick and the others. She might even have a lot of common topics with the equally smart Tim, and maybe the two of them could become "soul mates".
Bruce decided to find a way to bring Jenna home.
Bruce also discovered that Jenna was quite talented in detective work and performed well in criminal investigation classes. However, because she was an alien, she had some difficulties mastering cryptography using the Earth language. Bruce saw this opportunity and offered to give Jenna individual tutoring.
But in fact, he wanted to see if Jenna was suitable to be a detective. The material was ready. Gordon also sent her the photos of the previous three-piece serial murder case.
After a day's classes, Jenna knocked on the office door, opened it a crack, and poked her head in. Bruce waved to her.
After Jenna walked in, she closed the door and tiptoed to the table. She then found that the table was covered with photos showing three corpses in different postures.
Before taking the criminal investigation class, Jenna would be surprised to see this kind of photos, but the courseware for the criminal investigation class is almost entirely photos of various tragic deaths of humans. Jenna was not that afraid of this and now she is completely used to it.
Jenna immediately noticed that there were several letters next to the corpse in each photo. She immediately realized that this might be a test from Bruce, and sure enough, Bruce spoke.
"Do you see anything?"
"You mean the password? Sorry, I don't see any pattern in these characters. If you give me one night, maybe I can get some clues."
"No, Jenna, in criminal investigation, the code and the case cannot be separated. If you can see the clues of this case, it will be helpful for you to crack the code."
"You want me to analyze this case?"
“Yes, what do you see from these photos?”
Jenna stood in front of the table, thinking for a long time, and suddenly stretched out a hand and took one of the photos. Bruce found that it was a photo of Nygma being dismembered.
"This is the first case, without a doubt, the first in this series of serial murders."
"Good girl, tell me why." Bruce stared at Jenna with burning eyes.
Jenna propped her chin up with one hand and began to pace around the table, but her eyes never left the table. After walking around once, she said, "This is a carefully designed beginning. There will undoubtedly be an ending that echoes it. In order to achieve this echo, he deliberately changed the form of the corpse, making it present a very extreme state... scattered, he made it scatter."
"It's definitely not a random state. It's carefully designed. He wants it to expand and disperse, so that his power radiates to the surroundings instead of being concentrated on one point... I guess this is what's happening. So the person impaled on the pillar is the third case, and the last one, because the power of this corpse is concentrated."
"It's possible to go from disorder to order, or from order to disorder, but I think the other party is the former. His starting point is chaos." Jenna frowned slowly and her speech slowed down.
"He... suffers from a mental illness. His mind was torn apart, as if he was being crushed by something. It was a terrifying force far beyond that of an ordinary person. It destroyed his mind almost instantly..."
Jenna's breathing became rapid, a look of pain appeared between her brows, and sweat appeared on her forehead.
"He was defenseless, his spirit was torn apart, he felt himself being scattered into pieces, no one could find anyone else, he felt pain and confusion...mostly confusion."
"Who is it? Where does this power come from? He doesn't know. This is a difficult puzzle for him, but he is confident that he can solve it..."
"He...he gave himself an answer, but he knew it was just an answer, not the truth." Jenna uttered the last sentence with some difficulty, as if someone had strangled her throat.
"He felt that this being that completely defeated him was... God."
Bruce was stunned.
The wound on my foot got inflamed, so I’m in the hospital to clean it. I have to catch a flight tomorrow, so I have to write tomorrow’s update in advance, ah…
