American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman - Chapter 457 The housekeeper is always right (Part 1)

Just when Benjamin summoned the agents of the entire manor and went to the first floor to search for the entrance, the atmosphere in front of the entrance became more and more anxious.

Just after Schiller said that the treasure in the ground may be a special mineral that can weaken superpowers, Bruce and Lex stood on opposite sides.

These two skeptics will never believe that the other party will not use this thing indiscriminately. At the same time, they are also controlists, that is, regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with me or whether I want to use this thing in the future, I will It takes complete control of it to feel secure.

And they are all very typical Americans. Zero-sum thinking is almost engraved in their genes, and peace and win-win does not exist in their brains. They always feel that as long as the other party takes more, they will lose one, then You will be killed by the opponent yourself.

This kind of insecurity that exists all the time has been urging them to move forward, but at the same time, it can easily become a weakness to be exploited. The moment Schiller said these words, two extremely smart geniuses even There is no doubt that this is Schiller's alienation scheme.

In other words, they may have thought about it, but they dare not bet on whether what Schiller said is true.

After the youth version of the Justice League split in place, the atmosphere at the scene became subtle.

Because in Bruce's plan, the person he wants to use kryptonite to weaken is Schiller, so he naturally stands opposite Schiller, and it is Lex who wants to compete with him for kryptonite, so he Also standing opposite Lex, so in this way, Schiller and Lex are on one side.

If you compare Kess and Bruce in the future, the intelligence of the two of them is almost the same. Bruce wins first-hand physical fitness and fighting skills. If the two of them face each other, Bruce has a great advantage.

But Schiller stood on Lex's side, and Bruce's only advantage of force was gone, so he had to seek a strong ally.

When Clark was called by Bruce's name, he was still confused because he couldn't understand the situation on the field at all. He stood far away and said loudly, "What's the matter? Are we not partners?!"

"Clark, you can't let this kind of thing fall into Luther's hands. What he has done before has shown that he has no bottom line for destroying mankind."

"Don't listen to him, Clark, if I get the treasure, I will never use it against you."

"You're lying, Lex, you want that mineral called kryptonite just to guard against Clark, don't you?"

Lex did not show any weakness, looked directly into Bruce's eyes and asked, "Then who did you get this mineral to guard against?"

After asking this sentence, Lex and Bruce instinctively turned their attention to Schiller. Schiller was looking down at his umbrella and found that everyone on the field had stopped talking. He raised his head and looked first. He glanced at Lex, then glanced at Bruce and said, "Why are you staring at me?"

"I said I wanted to go on, you wouldn't let me, I wanted to leave, and you wouldn't let me. Do you still want to blame me for all this?"

"Hey, don't quarrel!" Clark finally came over, watching Schiller's silent step back, Clark stopped again, he stretched out two hands, stopped between Lex and Bruce, and said:

"No matter who gets this thing in the end, we must first confirm whether it is harmful to ordinary people. This is the most important goal of our cooperation."

With that said, Clark walked to the entrance to the cellar again, and said, "If you can't agree with this, I won't let any of you down."

"For me, whoever of you gets this thing is the same, so I won't help either of you deal with the other. If you're going to stand still here, then I'll go down first."

At this time, Clark was about to walk into the cellar, Bruce and Lex looked at each other, and the scope of the fierce conflict suddenly eased again.

Obviously, both of them knew that Clark couldn't get that magical mineral, and if Clark really went down alone and there was no one around him to affect him, even if the mineral could weaken his superpower, it might not be able to stop him. .

Seeing Lex and Bruce walking side by side again, Schiller shook his head, Clark really restrained him, in every sense, but there's no way around it, Silly Bai Tian restrains all brainy players, yours Prediction is good, but I don't move at all.

The reason for the dispute between Lex and Bruce is very complicated. It stems from their personalities and positions. If you want to choose one of them, you must analyze the logic of their behavior, just like Schiller did. So he stood on Lex's side because he knew that Bruce must have wanted to deal with him with this thing, and even if he stood on Bruce's side, he would be backstabbed in the end.

But Clark chose not to choose anyone. In short, he was completely mindless, firmed his goal, and then went all the way to the front, but it happened to break Schiller's alienation plan. Facing the brave Clark, Bruce still can only choose Join forces with Lex.

The situation has now become, Clark jumped out of the cellar first, Lex and Bruce walked forward while talking, as if making a new plan, Schiller followed behind them, considering whether to go down by himself.

It stands to reason that at this point, he has no need to go down by himself. Anyway, no matter what is underneath, Lex and Bruce will be evacuated. When the time comes, it will be easy to get some from Lex. After all, Schiller is not Batman, and he wants half a ton of kryptonite for nothing but space.

But at this moment, Schiller, who was walking at the end, found that several teams of agents seemed to be walking towards here. The fence in the courtyard was covered with thick white snow, but people could still be seen shaking from the branches.

It can be seen from the formation that this is not a coincidence, they are surrounding here in an orderly manner.

Go to an unknown place, face possible dangers, compete with equally dangerous opponents for treasures, or stay here, facing some very easy to deal with agents, Schiller chose without hesitation... the former.

He walked into the entrance of the cellar without looking back, and was hiding in the cover to observe the agents here. He thought he didn't find it, so after Schiller entered the entrance of the cellar, the agents rushed out of the cover. , and then set up some explosion-proof equipment at the entrance.

Benjamin was on the top floor of the manor tower while the agents followed their orders, looking at the entrance to the cellar with binoculars.

The location of this tower is very good. It is located in the center of the entire manor, and it is the highest place. It can be used as a watchtower and has a sweeping view of the entire manor.

He could see not only the entire manor, but also the entire surrounding of the mayor's mansion, so the moment Benjamin raised the telescope, he keenly caught a black spot in his field of vision, from the sky above the metropolis. crossed the line.

Among the snowflakes in the sky, the visibility was not far enough, so Benjamin couldn't see what it was at all, but soon, he felt the ground shake, the explosion of fire lighted up from a distance, and even formed a stirring snowflake flying. cyclone.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes, he put down the telescope, turned his head, and asked Kayla behind him, "...Did you see it?"

Kayla was also holding the telescope, and by coincidence, she was looking straight in that direction. After she put the telescope down, she said in an incredible tone: "I think I saw a crashed fighter jet."

"Fighter? Except for those crazy Soviets, who would fly a fighter in this weather?"

Kayla frowned and recalled, she said, "That doesn't seem to be the fighter model I've seen. You know, I've also served in the Air Force, and the Air Force shouldn't have an all-black fighter jet at the moment."

At this moment, they heard a noise downstairs, not downstairs of the tower they were in, but near the fourth floor of the manor.

It was a crisp sound, it didn't sound like the sound of shooting, but like the sound of glass breaking, Benjamin's face sank, he looked at Kayla and asked, "It's not the guests making trouble again, right? ?"

Kayla picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to communicate with the agents and let them go over to check, but Benjamin stepped forward to stop her and said, "Don't mobilize the staff at the entrance for now, let's go and see for yourself."

Benjamin thought that this was just the impatient guests, and something happened. During this time, he also discovered that this group of people were just outsiders and insiders. Although their words were fierce, once the agents took the When the gun was fired, they would just go back with a whimper.

Thinking like this, Benjamin didn't take much precautions, so he went straight down from the tower, then entered the main building of the manor, passed through the banquet hall, and then walked up the stairs to the place where the sound came from.

It was the end of the corridor on the fourth floor. At this time, broken glass was scattered on the ground. Kayla stepped forward with a pistol, checked it, and said, "Someone must have broken the glass, and it was a prank because of dissatisfaction. ?"

"If it was a prank, there shouldn't be glass on the floor because if the glass was broken from the inside, the glass shards would be scattered outside, and now, the glass shards are in the hallway, which means someone broke the glass from the outside."

Benjamin looked around the broken glass and found no footprints or other similar marks, and finally concluded: "It seems that this is not man-made, maybe the wind and snow blew some sharp objects on the glass, and then Broke it from the outside."

Keira frowned and seemed to have some objections, but she couldn't find any evidence to refute Benjamin.

After all, in this rainy and snowy weather, it is easy for people to leave traces, and the residents here are all pampered celebrities. They have little incentive to run out of the window and then come in through the window.

And if it is an invasion by foreign enemies, it is unlikely. Now that the traffic in the entire metropolis is paralyzed, who would spend so much effort to get here? The entire operation was completely confidential, communications were cut off, and outsiders had no idea what was going on here and had no reason to be here.

But at this moment, Benjamin gave a puzzled "Huh", Kayla walked up and found that he was staring at the wall beside the window.

Kayla didn't see anything on the wall, so she walked closer, put her head close, and finally found that there was a small scratch at the junction of the wall and the window sill, almost invisible.

This looks like it was left when someone climbed over the window. Benjamin stared at the trace and said, "It seems that someone has indeed invaded here."

Kayla was a little puzzled. She felt that the evidence was not sufficient. She said, "What if the glass fragments were scratched when a foreign object shattered the glass?"

"Kyla, discovering details and deducing the behavioral logic behind it is a necessary professional quality for agents. The reason why many agents can be called the king of agents is because they are good at discovering these details and infer from them that ordinary people can't discover. information."

"The position of this scratch is at the junction of the window sill and the wall, but the direction is upward. If it is caused by the flying glass fragments, it should be the lower part of the window glass that sputtered out and scratched out. The traces should be facing downwards."

"When the glass in the lower part is broken, it is impossible to make a strange turn in the air and fly up. Therefore, this should not be caused by the glass. More importantly, you can see here, first a deep scratch, then It's a long, shallow scratch, what does that mean?"

"What?" Kayla asked.

"The thing that made this scratch is irregular in shape and should have two parts."

"So, what is that?"

"It's most likely a zipper on a jacket, or a zipper on a trouser pocket, where the pendant of the zipper and the zipper itself rubbed against the wall, creating the shape."

With that said, Benjamin picked up the zipper on his coat and swiped lightly on the wall, and sure enough, the same shape as the previous scratch appeared.

"The intruder should be an old hand. He cleaned up the traces of the ground in a short time, but ignored the wall part."

"Like I said ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Benjamin turned his head to look at the scratch, and said with some disdain: "In the field of agents, details determine success or failure. "

"You have to know, the details determine success or failure." In a room on the fifth floor, Alfred said to Hal with the double-barreled shotgun.

Hal, who was standing beside the bed, sighed and said, "So, after you cleaned up all the traces, you specially asked me to use the zipper to leave a shallow scratch on the side of the window, in order to confuse the agent leader. ?"

"That's right, it will give him a feeling that I have been ignorant, confuse his judgment of my strength, and at the same time arouse his interest."

"If I don't do anything and let those traces stay there, then the chief agent will definitely think that I'm a novice, and just send one or two agents to get rid of me, so there's no way to attract him. attention."

"But if I remove the traces too cleanly, on the one hand, it may make him feel that no one has invaded here. On the other hand, if he judges that my strength is too high, he may mobilize all the agents to expand Search, that's not good for our operations."

"So, it's to get his attention, let him chase us, but not let him take it too seriously." Hal concluded.

"That's right." Alfred nodded and said, "Now it seems that I have successfully aroused his interest, and even inspired his fighting spirit, making him want to come over to fight me. Up and down."

"Then what are you going to do? Duel him?"

Alfred looked at Hal with a foolish look and said:

"Why should I fight him?"

"Then you plan to..."

"Master and Miss are not too young. I think it's time for them to learn some necessary means of self-protection."
