Chapter 3012: Mercury Record (IX)
There were six people standing in the reception lobby, three men and three women. As soon as Wei En walked in, he recognized several of them.
The Asian girl standing on the very edge should be Cassandra. She looks about the same as Cassandra in most universes, and her figure is relatively petite. However, from her cold eyes and the muscle lines on her body, it can be seen that she is definitely not simple.
The man and woman standing at the very front of the group are the Wonder Twins. They look exactly the same as in the vampire universe. Jenna is still that girl with short black hair, her eyes rolling around, looking like a little rascal at first glance.
Standing near the door is a red-haired girl wearing green clothes. At first glance, one might think she is Pamela, but her skin is paler than Pamela's, and her makeup is heavier. Her figure is very good, and her dress is the most fashionable among everyone present. Wei En guessed she should be Omen Lilith.
Not far from Lilith stand two young men wearing hoodies. Both of them have very good figures, tall and handsome. One of them has a blue beetle crawling on his shoulder, who should be Ted Kord, codenamed Blue Beetle.
The other blonde boy is even taller and bigger than him, with smooth muscle lines all over his body, looking like an excellent athlete, but his expression is a bit decadent, and his dark circles are also very heavy. It looks like he hasn't had a good sleep for a long time. Wei En felt he should be Michael Carter, Booster Gold.
Wei En and the others walked in, and the young people immediately started shouting. Some were shouting Diana's name, some recognized Oliver. They suddenly surrounded them wanting autographs, especially Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, who looked like those very common, particularly excitable white teenagers.
Cassandra watched all this coldly, without even an expression. Only when she saw Oliver did her eyes flicker slightly. If Wei En hadn't observed carefully, he wouldn't have been able to tell at all.
The Wonder Twins from outer space had been saying something in their hometown language. However, from the eyes they occasionally glanced over, it could be seen that they should also be discussing the few people who just arrived.
Lilith the Heavenly Omen didn't seem to want to deal with this bunch of greenhorns, so she took out a small mirror and started touching up her makeup.
"Alright, alright, let's introduce!" Bruce raised his tone and said, "You must all 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 also the princess of Themyscira. This is Oliver. You should have also seen his photos in political news. He is the founder and leader of the Mexican Revolutionary Army."
"This is Professor Wei En, a world-famous psychologist, and also your professor for future psychology courses."
Then Bruce let them start self-introductions. The identities of these people were exactly the same as Wei En guessed, and their states were also each having their own merits.
Cassandra was originally a killer who was cultivated. Staying in any organization was the same for her. Her kung fu is indeed very good. She can trade blows with Wonder Woman and Superman even with an ordinary person's body. Now these adopted children of Bruce probably couldn't pass a single move in her hands. She should also be the number one in physical arts of the future Young Justice League.
Omen Lilith was chewing bubble gum and accurately said what Bruce had eaten three days ago. However, she didn't make a prophecy. According to her own words, prophecy is not something she wants to come out, but a kind of power bestowed upon her. When there is none, she can't say it.
Blue Beetle is even more of a loser. His origin story is about the same as most Blue Beetles. He is not the first-generation Blue Beetle. His teacher was the one who was recognized by the Blue Beetle, but he died in an accident and left the Blue Beetle to him before he died.
As a result, this bug, which was manufactured as an alien weapon, has its own wisdom. People didn't look up to him at all, so it didn't listen to him at all. It went west when he told it to go east, and it didn't have diarrhea when he told it to run. So far, it has no combat power, and Blue Beetle himself failed in entrepreneurship and owed a debt.
Booster Gold is a person from the future, coming from the 25th century. After stealing an exhibit from a museum, he traveled to the past, and at the same time stole the ring that can be used for flying and a force device.
He was also a bit unlucky on the original timeline. He was doing well as an athlete, but his deadbeat dad cheated him into gambling. After the team discovered it, they fired him, and his career was tragically cut off.
The Wonder Twins have been on Earth for a period of time, and their English basically has no accent. The two's superpowers are bumping fists, and then one turns into water and one turns into an animal. Currently, they don't look very strong, and can even be said to be the weakest among this batch of people.
However, because of Jenna's performance in the vampire universe, Wei En is very optimistic about this smart little girl. There are plenty of superpowered people, but smart people are rare.
Sure enough, in the last part of Jenna's self-introduction, she looked at Bruce and said, "Seriously, Mr. Wayne, you look much younger than on TV. I thought a boss who could manage such a big company so well would be more mature and steady."
This flattery was shot with extreme precision. Bruce was simply overjoyed. Jenna smiled at him again and said, "Can my brother and I go to your class? That would definitely be very interesting. You Earthlings have a saying, how does it go? Interest is the best teacher."
Bruce happily agreed.
Wei En, who was standing on the side, also smiled, because he had a premonition that a good show was about to start.
A day passed quickly. Most of the students were familiarizing themselves with their dormitories, getting to know each other, and communicating. A bit later, the class schedule was sent. The courses were naturally arranged densely, but for these geniuses screened from various races and forces, it was nothing.
Another relatively special thing is that Tempest, who was originally in the Teen Titans, actually came too, but he was counted as an Atlantean and not an independent hero.
The second day started formal classes. The teachers also observed the students' qualifications through this day's courses.
What makes people feel happy is that the students' average qualifications are quite good, which can be said to be amazing one by one. They understand as soon as they are pointed out, and teaching is not effortless at all.
Wei En felt that it might also be that participating in the Battleworld stimulated several official members of the Justice League, letting them discover that the progress of this universe is a bit lagging behind. This time, it can be considered that they have taken out all their capital.
And even if they are all geniuses, there are high and low differences. Among all the young students, there are several particularly outstanding ones, including Jenna, the younger sister of the Wonder Twins.
She is really very smart and likable, and soon won the love of all official members with her excellent grades and lively personality.
It should be said that Bruce still has some Batman habits. As long as he sees a child who is both smart and good-looking, he wants to take them home to be Robin. Although Bruce feels that he hasn't left the category of children, he really likes this smart little girl.
Mainly because other Batmen have a Batgirl, the Gordon on his side can't be counted on. Little Jenny will have to grow up for more than ten years. Cassandra doesn't know why she didn't arrive in Gotham on time. The two have only met until now. Aisha... making her Batgirl is a bit wronging her. Her species should be a Megalodon.
Bruce thinks Jenna is not bad, definitely better than other Batgirls, and must be able to get along well with Dick and the others. Maybe she will have common topics with Tim, who is also smart. Maybe the two can become "soulmates".
Bruce decided to find a way to trick Jenna home.
Bruce also found that Jenna also has talent in detective work and performed excellently in the criminal investigation class. However, because she is an alien, it is difficult for her to get started with cryptography using Earth languages. Bruce saw this opportunity and proposed that he could tutor Jenna alone.
But in fact, he wanted to see if Jenna was really suitable to be a detective. The material was also ready-made. Gordon also sent her the photos of the serial murder case that was a set of three.
After the day's courses ended, Jenna knocked on the office door. After opening the door a small crack, she poked her head in. Bruce beckoned to her.
After Jenna walked in and closed the door, she walked lightly to the table, and then found that the table was full of photos. On the photos were three corpses with different postures.
Before taking the criminal investigation class, Jenna would be surprised when seeing such photos, but the courseware of the criminal investigation class was almost all photos of various human tragic deaths. Jenna wasn't really afraid of this, and now she has completely gotten used to it.
Jenna immediately noticed that there were several letters next to the bodies in each photo. She immediately realized that this might be Bruce's test for her. Sure enough, Bruce spoke.
"Do you see anything?"
"Are you talking about the password? Sorry, I didn't see the regularity of these characters. If you give me one night, perhaps I will have some clues."
"No, Jenna, in criminal investigation, passwords and cases cannot be looked at separately. If you can see the clues of this case, then it will also be beneficial for you to crack the password."
"You let me analyze this case?"
"Yes, through these photos, what do you see?"
Jenna stood in front of the table and pondered for a long time, suddenly stretched out a hand, and took over one of the photos. Bruce found that it was the photo of Nygma being dismembered.
"This is the first case, without a doubt, ranking first in this series of serial murder cases."
"Good girl, tell me why." Bruce stared at Jenna with burning eyes.
Jenna supported her chin with one hand and started pacing around the table, but her gaze never left the tabletop. After circling once, she spoke: "This is a carefully designed beginning. Without a doubt, there will be an ending that echoes it. For this kind of echo, he specifically changed the form of the body, letting it present a very extreme state... scattered, he let it scatter."
"It's definitely not a random state, but carefully designed. He wants to let it expand, scatter, let his power radiate to the surroundings, instead of concentrating on one point... I guess the echo is this, so this person pierced on the pillar is the third case, and also the last one, because the power of this body is concentrated."
"From disorder to order, or from order to disorder are both possible, but I think the other party is the former. His beginning is chaotic." Jenna slowly frowned, and her speaking speed also slowed down.
"He... suffers from a kind of mental illness. His thinking was torn apart, as if pressed by something. That is a terrible power far beyond ordinary people, almost destroying his mind in an instant..."
Jenna's breathing became rapid, a painful expression appeared between her brows, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead.
"He was completely unprepared, his spirit was torn apart, feeling himself being scattered into pieces, no one could find anyone, he felt pain and doubt... mainly doubt."
"Who is it? Who does this power come from? He doesn't know. This is a difficult riddle for him, but he has the confidence to solve the riddle..."
"He... he gave himself an answer. He knows this is just an answer, not the truth." Jenna seemed to be strangled by someone, spitting out the last sentence with difficulty.
"He thinks, this existence that completely crushed him is... God."
Bruce was dumbfounded. ===== CHAPTER 3013 =====
