Chapter 3001: Green Trees Shade the Long Summer Days (46)

When the Scarlet Power and the Witchcraft Power collided, red and purple light shrouded the entire sky.

The young people who had just finished dealing with the trouble caused by the animals on the street received a call from Shiler and rushed toward an address.

Circe was unwilling to give up her arrangements in Cat Getan because she was arrogant enough to feel that she possessed the power of witchcraft and could wantonly control others to solve troubles.

But Edgar himself wasn't a very courageous person and hadn't seen any big scenes. After he discovered that so many huge animals had appeared, he understood that the situation had spiraled out of control, so taking advantage of the witch going to the Cat Getan Police Department to find trouble, he neatly packed his things and wanted to slip away.

But obviously, he wasn't smart enough, or to be precise, he was too greedy.

Circe had always been an outsider, basically not living in human society. If she caused any trouble, she could just pat her butt and leave.

But Edgar wasn't as strong as her. He also had to work and live normally. If it was just being wanted and arrested by the Cat Getan Police Department, that would be fine. But in the days of causing trouble in Cat Getan, he already knew that the FBI and an organization called something like the Federal Shield had been active in this city.

Just a wanted notice from the FBI was enough for him to suffer. This meant that he would become a fugitive afterward, hiding here and there, never having another day of peace, equivalent to social death.

So he thought, now that everyone's firepower was concentrated on Circe, he could secretly slip to Williams and Bob's side, modify the memories of all those who knew the truth, and push everything onto the witch, so he wouldn't lose his social identity.

It was precisely from the memories of Williams and Bob that he learned what kind of stupid and greedy person Edgar was, so Shiler used the two of them as bait, fishing for this stupid fish, Edgar.

Shiler already knew the location of Williams' safe house, so after the witch left, he immediately had Andre take people to take away Williams and Bob, who had been turned into pigs.

Edgar seemed to have a way to track Circe. Of course, it was also possible he read the minds of some passersby. In short, he tracked all the way to the safe house of Williams where Circe had been.

At the same time, the New Warriors team and the Guardians of the Galaxy had also arrived.

Shiler had already told them that the guy they were tracking now was one of the culprits of the child abuse case. These two groups of people didn't even say hello when they saw Edgar, and went up and gave him a beating.

They had learned in advance from Shiler that Edgar had mind-reading skills, but also knew that this guy's mind-reading and mind-control had limitations. Without physical contact, he couldn't control others, so they subdued Edgar from a long distance away before giving him a fierce beating.

But also because of Shiler's instructions, they didn't kill him, but after catching him, brought him to the backyard of Shiler's house.

Shiler and Amanda were waiting here.

Shiler was trying hard to adapt to drinking water from a teacup with a snake's body. Amanda was looking at the sunset on the horizon listlessly, the red and purple intertwined light incomparably gorgeous.

"You should also try to walk out." Shiler said while drinking water.

"You say it easily." Amanda hummed and then said unpleasantly, "It's not your family members who were tragically silenced. You can naturally say such words lightly."

"If I said this tragedy also happened to me, what would you think?"

"Are you a psychopath because of this?"

"Why are you always obsessed with who is a psychopath?" Shiler said helplessly, "True psychopaths aren't turned into psychopaths because of any stimulation. Trying to change them and make them admit their mistakes is impossible."

"Yes, because they are evil enough and have no sense of shame." Amanda paused and then said, "I've never heard you mention your relatives. Are they still alive?"

"If you're talking about relatives with blood relations, I don't know who they are. If you're talking about the family I chose myself, they are in a very distant universe, and I can't go back, so don't think about it either."

Amanda didn't care at all that she was exposed. She took a sip of tea and said, "Perhaps there are many people in this world who have encountered the same tragedy as me. There are many in Cat Getan, but you must allow us to have different views on this matter and take different means, rather than feeling that everyone should let go."

"It's not that I feel this way, but that you are thinking this way. I'm just telling you that you are thinking this way." Shiler said, "I just said some things you don't want to face."

"Since you know I don't want to face it, then don't say it! It serves you right to be turned into this!"

"Are you saying I was turned into a black snake? Do you have any opinions on black skin? Convert's zealotry?"

Amanda raised her tea and wanted to splash it on Shiler's head. Fortunately, at this time, Star-Lord carried Edgar, who was tied up like a zongzi, and walked in from the back door.

Amanda put down the teacup, took Edgar from Star-Lord's hand, stood at the door, turned to Shiler, and said, "I will find a way to help you solve those plant protectionists. That little girl might be able to appear in public in the future, but she must ensure she doesn't use her super ability to do evil, otherwise, I will still arrest her."

"I will tell Pamela. In fact, helping her build momentum is also good for you. You don't want to always use those criminals, right?"

"We can't afford the price to hire her." After saying that, Amanda left with Edgar.

Shiler could see through the back door that she and her team put a strange helmet on Edgar, seemingly restricting his super ability, and then escorted him into the car.

Helen followed several people out of the house and asked, "You made a deal with Amanda?"

"Something like that. You know what Amanda has been doing. She very much needs a useful tool to dig out the secrets in the hearts of those superpowered criminals and serial killers."

"She wants to know what these people are thinking, right?" Helen was very sharp and said, "She wants to know where the malice in these people's hearts comes from. Since psychology doesn't work, she just finds someone who can read minds, so she can help her..."

"Then you underestimate Amanda too much. She doesn't want to cooperate with Edgar. Her hatred for this kind of super criminal is deeper than anyone else's. She only wants Edgar's ability."

"Where does his ability come from?"

"I don't know, but I suspect it's the brain. If Amanda figures it out, she will only keep this part and discard all useless organs. She is so ruthless in treating criminals."

"I don't know what she encountered, but I admire her perseverance." Helen shook her head and said.

"Yes, that's why I chose to cooperate with her. Amanda isn't smart enough, or rather, she chooses not to be a smart person. If she used more energy on maneuvering and fawning, she would have risen to power long ago, but her extreme attitude toward super criminals makes it almost impossible for her to be welcomed by Congress."

"Then how was the organization under her established?"

"With Bruce Wayne's help, and of course, it's also because Congress has such a need, and super criminals are too dangerous. If the person leading this organization today wasn't someone like Amanda, do you guess they would choose to cooperate with Edgar, thereby manipulating the entire country?"

"I understand. They need someone who will never compromise with super criminals. Amanda is just right."

"That's exactly it." Shiler nodded and said, "Alright, children, things are almost over, but I still have one thing to ask of you. Can you go to the supermarket for me?"

Shiler found that everyone didn't answer. He looked up and found several heads surrounding the table, staring at him in unison.

He just remembered that these people didn't know he had been turned into a snake. Of course, they knew now, but there was a problem: people from Marvel were different from DC's, focusing on being heavy-handed.

Shiler instantly felt himself flying up. Star-Lord directly scooped him up and then flipped him over. Before anything happened, Rocket Raccoon jumped onto the table and snatched him from Star-Lord's hand.

"Rocket! What are you doing! Let me see!"

"Get lost, you clumsy guy! What if you break the Professor? I'm a raccoon, let me see first..."

"Don't fight, you two! The Professor is about to be thrown away... Eh! Look what I said! He flew away, didn't he!"

"Oh, heavens, fortunately there's you, Aisha, hurry and... No!! Don't bite!!! Aisha!!!!!"

Suddenly, the eerie red and purple in the sky completely erupted. The light of power scattered into the sky full of clouds, adding a more bright color to the already gorgeous summer sunset.

The witchcraft curse was broken. With a bang, Shiler changed back.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the people in the courtyard.

"Uh, I suddenly remembered, my gun might be out of oil. I'll go add some oil to it." Star-Lord retreated backward bit by bit.

"That, Professor, the slide I bought just arrived. I'll go get the courier." Aisha climbed over the railing of the back porch.

"Don't look for any more excuses! Run!!!" Rocket Raccoon roared and jumped directly onto the wall.

At this time, the umbrella was already in Shiler's hand.

"Aooooooo!!!!"

To solve the giant animal event, Gordon wasn't in his office. But when he went back, he smelled an extremely rich bloody smell before he even entered the door.

He suddenly had a bad premonition, let the young intern police officer go back first, and he took a few veterans and carefully pushed open the door.

Wanda stood in the center of the room.

A human was evenly spread out in every corner of the room, and the whole room turned blood red.

Wanda turned her head, smiled at Gordon, and said, "Sorry, Commissioner, I dirtied your room, but the confrontation of energy is just so dangerous. It's normal for the loser to explode and die."

"Is... is it normal?" Looking at the smile on Wanda's face, Gordon swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still nodded, and said, "Alright, if you say it's normal, then it's normal. Is the one who died that witch?"

Wanda nodded and said, "Her power is interesting, but unfortunately it's not complete. If she could find back the complete power, perhaps there would still be some hope, but unfortunately, she no longer has this chance."

Gordon took a deep breath and said to his subordinates, "Find a few professional cleaners to come over. No, wait, have the family members of those missing children gone back yet?"

"Only a few are willing to go back. Most are still waiting here."

"Let them come up. They have the right to know the truth."

Wanda and Gordon came to the corridor. Wanda stretched out her hand, and a red light ball appeared in the center of her palm. She said, "This is her share of power. Because the source still exists, it cannot be completely eliminated. This is something that belongs to your universe. I cannot take it away. Who do you think I should give it to?"

Gordon shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand the magical world at all. He wanted to call Constantine, but Constantine didn't answer the phone, so he had to call Zatanna again.

Zatanna and Pamela had just gotten the snowdrop and returned to Cat Getan. They had just talked to Shiler on the phone and were going to his place to finalize the next research plan with Cobblepot.

Zatanna said on the phone, "Professor Shiler hopes we can go over. Besides having things to talk about, he also wants to hold a banquet to celebrate the smooth resolution of this case."

"I will go over. If you arrive first, please help me tell Professor Shiler that when the FBI was conducting an investigation on Nygma's bribery items, they found a secret room in his house. There, we found the DNA of the recently victimized children. This is direct evidence that can prove he is the culprit."

"Unfortunately, those two guys have disappeared. But this also has benefits. If he is the only one, then the lawyer cannot push the responsibility to others. He must be the main culprit and will be punished severely, and the jury will not sympathize with him either."

"In addition, we have also restarted the investigation into the case of the Nygma couple's death back then. He also has a high suspicion. Unfortunately, the son of the Nygma couple is still recuperating in a mental hospital. If he can testify in court, then this bastard will never think of leaving prison for the rest of his life." ===== CHAPTER 3002 =====
