Chapter 1191: The Cries of the Lambs (20)

In the FBI base in Lavilla County, Metropolis, Amanda stands in the center of the office and says in a voice full of anger:

"I cannot control all the killers in this world, nor can I be responsible for all the murders in this world! Even if this case happened within the FBI."

"However, Ms. Amanda, you must understand that since the execution of your Lamb Plan, the FBI has not encountered any good things. If it weren't for your plan, perhaps this murder case wouldn't have happened at the base."

Opposite Amanda, an old man in a suit with gray hair pushes his glasses and says: "You have to understand me. I am only responsible for the FBI organization in the Metropolis area. The superiors sent me here just hoping to get your positive reply. After all, you refused to answer my calls for the past few days."

Amanda turns her head to the side, stiffens her neck, and says: "My Lamb Plan has nothing to do with this case. I have nothing to explain!"

"Amanda, this attitude of yours is of no help in solving things. I know that this brutal murder case that happened at the Lavilla County base doesn't necessarily have a direct connection to your Lamb Plan, and you might indeed be unaware, but the problem is, how many people think they are connected?"

"This case makes the entire FBI in the Metropolis area lose face. We need someone to be responsible for this. Do you hope that person is you?"

Amanda takes a deep breath, a look of humiliation appears on her face, but soon she purses her lips, lowers her tone, and says: "Sorry, I encountered a little thing recently, so my mood is not very good. I will try to adjust my state and give everyone an explanation."

The old man walks up and pats Amanda on the shoulder, then walks past her side. Amanda closes her eyes, and the muscles around her mouth and neck tremble continuously.

After everyone leaves, Amanda shakes her head vigorously. At this time, Dai Weisi opens the door and says to her: "Amanda, we have to go back."

But Amanda seems to have suddenly exploded. She turns her head and stares fiercely at Dai Weisi and says: "What did you call me?"

Dai Weisi is stunned for a moment, then says: "Amanda?"

"You used to call me Ms. Waller! Because I was once your superior, and I still am now. You are despising me, not respecting me!"

Dai Weisi says with some surprise: "But we have worked together for such a long time, calling me by a respectful title would be too distant, right? I wouldn't let my subordinates have to call me by my surname either?"

But Amanda walks up quickly, stares into Dai Weisi's eyes, and says in an icy tone: "Because you got on Wei En's line, he bought you, you took his money, so you feel you have something to rely on, so you don't take me seriously... You are all like this!"

"Amanda, calm down. Wei En's willingness to take over this mess is good news. Otherwise, we would have to bear the accountability of the FBI."

"Mess?!!" Amanda screams in a raised voice: "You think my plan is a mess?! You've thought so for a long time, right?"

"Of course not, otherwise, why would I join this plan? It's because I also agree with your philosophy that I work under you. I haven't made any big mistakes for so long, have I?" Dai Weisi also appears a bit irritable.

"Amanda, things have already happened, we can only count ourselves unlucky. You just happened to land the plan to house serial killers, and you ran into a brutal killer acting in the FBI base. Even if others don't have evidence to prove that these two things are related, you can't stop them from thinking in this direction."

"Wei En is right. Now we don't have the ability to land this plan again. He is willing to take over, so we will cooperate with him. As long as the final result is good, isn't that enough?" Dai Weisi tries hard to persuade.

Amanda clenches her fists tightly. She takes a deep breath, as if making a decision.

She shows a somewhat reluctant smile to Dai Weisi and says: "Sorry, Dai Weisi, my mood was a bit out of control just now. You are right. As long as my hard work for so many years hasn't gone down the drain, it's fine. Let's go back first."

Dai Weisi doesn't think much of it. He takes a plane with Amanda back to the Florence Supermax Prison in Colorado. As soon as he enters the prison, Amanda says to Dai Weisi:

"The matter of a prisoner dying due to improper custody before is also a bit troublesome. I'm afraid the Colorado state legislature will hold us accountable for this. You'd better go there and inquire to see if they have this intention."

Dai Weisi thinks for a while, pushes his glasses, and says: "I'm not worried about the legislature, but I'm afraid some media will notice this place. It just so happens that one of the subordinates of a congressman I know has two newspaper offices. I'll go and have a meal with him."

Amanda nods and says: "You've worked hard."

After Dai Weisi leaves, Amanda clenches her fists again. She paces in the hallway at the office door for half an hour, but finally says to a security guard next to her: "Go and bring the prisoner in Cell 3 to the interrogation room. I want to conduct a special interrogation on him."

"However, Ms. Amanda, the prisoner in Cell 3 is marked as the highest danger level. Mr. Wei En forbids anyone from contacting him, and even canceled all mental examinations."

"Who is the person in charge of this prison?" Amanda stares into the security guard's eyes and says: "Are you planning to write the fact that you accepted bribes on your face?"

"Sorry, I'll go right away."

Amanda walks downstairs along the stairs and soon arrives at the interrogation room.

After pushing open the door, Shiler, sitting in the center of the room, is looking up, letting the security guard adjust the position of his mask.

Shiler is still unable to speak, but Amanda reads a sentence from his eyes: "Amanda, we meet again."

Amanda, holding the key, stands in the center of the room, looking at the prisoner opposite who is covered with security measures, but feels that she is the prisoner standing in punishment.

Shiler blinks, and Amanda reads another sentence in the change of his eyes: "Did they give you a lot of pressure?"

Amanda turns her head slightly to the side. Her Adam's apple trembles continuously, her arm muscles tense up, and her eye sockets turn red.

"Take off his mask." Amanda tries hard to suppress her trembling voice and says.

The security guard takes off Shiler's mask. Shiler first lets out a light sigh, and at the end of the sigh, he says in a low voice:

"Stupid girl..."

Amanda can no longer control her emotions. She is like a volcano that has been brewing for a long time but has never had a chance to erupt, shaking all over as if electrocuted.

She walks a few steps staggeringly, supports her hands on the table, looks at Shiler with tear-filled eyes, and says: "They want to take all of this away. Wei En, Dai Weisi, the FBI, they are all robbers, damn robbers..."

Shiler looks up at Amanda and says: "As a researcher of psychology, you should be very clear that it doesn't mean someone is on your side just because their language is gentle and their attitude is good, nor does it mean someone is your enemy just because their words are sharp and hit the nail on the head."

Shiler leaned his back against the chair, no longer looking at Amanda, but instead looking at the empty air beside him and saying, "Miss Waller, in truth, I do not understand what hatred we could possibly have that makes you so firmly believe that I, and only I, am your enemy?"

"What exactly is driving you to treat everyone as teammates just to deal with me, without even caring whether they have common interests with you?"

"Was my evaluation of you wrong?" Shiler stares into Amanda's eyes and says: "If you weren't a stupid girl, you would know that many people will allow you to propose a plan and allow you to run around to make it happen, but will never allow you to obtain its results."

Amanda breathes continuously. Her hands on the table curl into fists, and her nails pierce deeply into the flesh. Shiler glances at her hands and says: "If you didn't lack talent, you wouldn't have let Wei En take away your rights without any ability to resist."

"Indeed, there are many people in this world who work for money, but if you really have enough personality charm and are a good leader, would those subordinates who betrayed you be so at ease, without half a bit of guilt?"

"If you weren't too emotional and blinded by hatred, would you only remember that your mentor and savior had the ability to help you and was willing to help you until you had no way out?"

Amanda stands in place somewhat dazed. After a while, she slowly moves her gaze over, looks at Shiler, and says: "... Are you willing to help me?"

"Since the first time we met, we haven't had any conflict. It was you who unilaterally felt that I had a vendetta against you, but I actually don't think so, because I am not a simple-minded, emotional stupid girl."

Amanda purses her lips and straightens her body. She glances at the collar on Shiler's neck and says: "Even if I treated you in such a cruel way?"

"So you know that this method is cruel." Shiler blinks again and says: "Because you are unreasonable and wishful thinking, I suffered two weeks of sensory deprivation torture, accepted a very inhumane surgery, and you also let the switch of the controller fall into Wei En's hands."

Amanda wipes her eyes, her tone becomes a bit anxious: "I didn't know, back then you were actually..."

"Don't mention the past anymore." Shiler shakes his head and says: "I am willing to help you, just because I must teach Bruce Wei En a lesson."

Amanda cannot move her gaze away from Shiler's face. She cannot make any movements now, or rather, she dares not.

The Shiler in front of her is pale, his eyes are deep in his eye sockets, appearing dim and unclear, but everyone can read the madness and nervousness in them.

Every natural-born killer in this world is a control freak, a sadist, and a pervert.

They only ever violate other people's territory, and if anyone dares to make them feel offended, they will definitely be repaid ten times over.

"Do you know? I don't care that Bruce Wei En made me plead guilty, or put me in prison, nor do I care that he made me suffer torture, or attempted to use some devices to control me, and I care even less about bleeding, pain, and humiliation."

Shiler always appears very elegant and never hysterical. The only things that can show his coldness and madness are those gray eyes.

Amanda hears Shiler say in a low breath:

"But he lost the most basic politeness. When he saw me again, he didn't even greet me. I hate rude people."

"He must pay the price for this and receive a painful enough lesson."

When Shiler moves his gaze to Amanda, Amanda instinctively takes a step back. She lowers her head, covers her mouth with her hand, and cannot say a word.

Instantly, all expressions on Shiler's face disappear. That terrible sense of oppression also disappears, and he becomes calm and elegant again. He looks at Amanda and says unhurriedly: "Tell me about the current situation."

"The FBI doesn't trust me at all. They have put a lot of pressure on me, demanding that I explain the murder case that happened at the Lavilla County base. They just want me to be responsible!"

"Dai Weisi and the vast majority of security staff are on Wei En's side. He also has the remote control for the nano-neural control device. The chance for us to resist him is already very slim." Amanda says very embarrassedly.

"That's for you." Shiler shakes his head lightly and says: "I am different from you. I haven't lived as a loner for so many years. I still have quite a few friends."

Amanda opens her mouth. She looks at Shiler with a complex expression and says: "Bruce Wei En is really your good student. You two are exactly the same... Sorry, Professor."

"Remember that phone call?" Shiler looks up at Amanda.

Amanda frowns deeply. She recalls the scene that day and asks: "Who is Lucifer?"

"A son who has been in conflict with his old man for thousands of years." Shiler summarizes very briefly. Before Amanda can speak, Shiler says ahead of her: "He cannot provide us with any direct help..."

"But precisely because he is also a son of a father, and understands me very well, he can bring me the allies I want most."

"What should we do?" Amanda asks.

"Do nothing. You leave here, let me stay here, until night."

"Why?" Amanda asks very confused.

"Because the night belongs to Batman."

The night in Colorado has nothing special, equally deep and dark. The interrogation room with only a small window turns into complete darkness as night falls.

Shiler sits quietly in the center of the room, his expression very calm, as if waiting for someone to keep an appointment.

The clock hand turns to 1:05 AM. Instantly, there is a slight movement in the quiet room, and Shiler then says:

"It seems that Lucifer didn't let me down."

The black shadow that just entered the room pauses. When those gray eyes sweep over, he knows he has found the right person.

"You seem to know I would come." A low voice sounds.

Shiler doesn't answer. He just looks at the black shadow entering the room. He is tall, strong, and a long cape wraps around his body.

The faint light shines on him, and the shadow stretches long behind him, covering the corner of the entire room and most of the ceiling.

And at the end of the shadow, the most eye-catching thing is two long pointed ears.

"Long time no see... or rather, very happy to meet for the first time, Batman." ===== CHAPTER 1192 =====
