Chapter 3024: Mercury Notes (21)

Just caught a few demons, and met a few monsters. This is the true portrayal of Bruce's mood now.

Good guy, waiting for me here?

Then he discovered that this Miss Lilith might be even more outrageous than he thought, because she not only can read minds, she can also prophesy.

That is to say, she is not even a youth version of Professor X, nor a gender-swapped version of Martian Manhunter, but their ProPlusMax version.

Although this prophecy ability cannot be activated at any time, it is said that as long as it is activated, it is bound to be accurate.

Then what are you learning criminal investigation for? She sits in the Cat Getan Police Department, and Gordon has to offer her up. She is the person who can best realize Gordon's ideals, because as long as she can prophesy, she can prevent crime. Justice will never be late, and both the victim and the murderer have received true salvation.

Bruce wanted to tell her not to learn anymore, you just go back to Earth and take up your post. I will go to the Cat Getan Police Department to worship you every holiday.

But the not-so-good news is that Lilith's personality is much weirder than Jenna's. Her personality is very strong, she is not reasonable at all, and she doesn't have the high moral standard of Professor X. Mind reading is in a long-term activated state.

Bruce hadn't even opened his mouth to speak, and Lilith said, "No, your girlfriend won't think there's anything romantic about the solar wind you captured for her with a bottle. She will only think you are very strange."

"But I think she should like the gems you forged for her with the sun. Why don't you go to the asteroid belt next to it to find out if there is any shiny metal? Making a necklace for her might be very good, but it's best to pay attention to whether there is radiation."

"Hmm, do you mean I might find metal with radiation, will it hurt her?"

"No, she will keep it in a box, and then accidentally left it at her friend Maggie's house. The mysterious radiation made Maggie's body better, but also gave her the superpower to stretch her limbs freely. Your girlfriend will complain about you."

"Why? Didn't I cure her friend?"

"Because her friend is that kind of typical... I don't know how to say it, her biggest dream is to have a family, a husband and children. Superpowers will only bring her trouble. Later, she was taken away by a black woman named Amanda, and you and Selina almost argued to the point of divorce."

"We two will get married?"

"Are you surprised? You scumbag."

Bruce was speechless, and then he realized that something seemed wrong. He opened his mouth and said, "You can't abuse your ability like this, Miss Lilith. Peeping into other people's privacy will make people feel uncomfortable."

"Heh." Lilith snorted coldly and said, "Everyone wants to try when they learn I have the ability to prophesy. Why don't they feel uncomfortable at this time?"

Bruce couldn't refute it either, because at that time, he also wanted to try when he learned Lilith had this ability.

"People are always curious about things outside their cognitive range. If you feel offended, then scold back." Bruce said.

Lilith raised her eyebrows, appearing a bit surprised, seemingly not expecting Bruce to say that.

"Do people always let you endure it?" Bruce asked.

"They say this is normal. If it were them, they would also want to try it like this. They treat me as jewelry placed in a display window. Everyone wants to try it on, but they are worried they can't afford it."

"You can't make such a metaphor, Miss." Bruce shook his head, seeming very disapproving, and said, "I just think that excessively peeping into other people's hearts might affect yourself."

"Do you think I will suffer from empathy disorder? In fact, I won't, otherwise I would have gone crazy long ago. I clearly know who I am, and I am always emphasizing this point. If you want me to be obedient, I will be lost in it."

Bruce understood. Excessive empathy with others is an unavoidable disaster for every mind-reading ability user. Some people control the use of their power just because they don't want to be affected by other people's thoughts, while Lilith seems to feel that as long as she has enough personality, she won't be affected by others.

"I am not here to discuss this with you, Miss. If you can read minds, then the criminal investigation knowledge I teach might be a bit tasteless to you..."

"Actually, I am still quite interested." Lilith's words also exceeded Bruce's expectations. She said, "I want to be a superhero, but I have no way. Will you let me join the Justice League?"

"That depends on your performance, but I think your hope is quite high. After all, your ability is too special."

"Then I think I still have to learn." Lilith said, "How big do you think the range of my mind reading is? Can it cover the entire Earth?"

"Can't it?"

"Not that exaggerated." Lilith shook her head and said, "I usually can only focus my attention on one person's brain. That is to say, if there are five people on the scene, I have to use my ability five times to check who the murderer is."

"What if the murderer is not on the scene?"

"I can search for clues from the minds of the people on the scene, but assuming they have no clues, I also have to use traditional means to track them, but when I come into contact with the murderer, I can know whether he is the real murderer."

Bruce touched his chin, feeling that this was more reasonable. If there really was a Professor X in his universe, then many of his plans would have to be changed.

"You can only read minds, not objects, and you can't read minds remotely. Then how did you know who the murderer of the case in class was?"

Lilith looked at him with complex eyes and said, "Of course it's because I read your mind."

Bruce finally reacted. He should have been angered by Jenna's thesis. Lilith didn't need to read the murderer's mind. He only needed to read his own, and of course, he knew who the murderer was. If it didn't work, reading Jenna's would also work.

"Can you read memories? Or current thoughts?"

"Both are fine, but reading memories takes a certain amount of time." Lilith said, "The deeper the memory, the longer the time required."

"See how my parents died." Bruce said.

Lilith didn't stand on ceremony with him either. She closed her eyes and started searching intently. After half a day, she opened her eyes and said with some doubt, "Your parents didn't die. They are still alive."

Bruce laughed and said, "It seems you can also be deceived."

Lilith looked at him very curiously. Bruce said, "Memories can also deceive people. As long as I put some memory fragments in the shallow layer, when you read them, you will think you have mastered the truth, but in fact, that is just a smoke bomb of stealing beams and changing pillars."

Lilith frowned. She activated her ability again. This time, it could be said that she turned Bruce's memory over, and then she showed a sudden realization.

She had indeed turned it over in the shallow layer before, and then saw the figures of Thomas and Martha, and also saw the pictures of their family living together, so she thought Bruce was deliberately cheating her, wanting to try whether her ability was real.

But continuing to turn down, she saw the truth. It turned out that his parents didn't die, but were resurrected.

And she spent a lot of effort, crossing countless difficulties and obstacles, before she found the picture of the alley gunshot in the deepest part of her memory.

"Do you feel a bit difficult?" Bruce asked.

"Yes, there seems to be a lot of noise in your brain. When I turned down, I saw too many meaningless pictures." Lilith paused and said, "It's really strange. This is the first time I've seen someone who can control their memory so accurately."

"That's because you have seen too little. If I say that someone has a two-thousand-story high tower in their spiritual world, what would you think?"

"How is this possible?" Lilith frowned and said, "Even if he can do it, why would he do this? This will seriously affect his thinking speed, right?"

"Nothing is impossible. Perhaps next time you have class, you can try to read his mind."

"He is here?"

"Yes, your psychology professor Schiller Rodriguez, who possesses an amazing spiritual world. Perhaps you can explore it."

"Alright, if it's really like this, then it's quite interesting." Lilith shrugged and said, "What were you looking for me to say?"

"Some things about classroom order. I have already talked to Jenna before. I hope you, I mean these people who can get answers directly through certain methods, don't always use your thinking to influence other students."

"I know your answers are correct, but your train of thought is something they can't learn. If they have to learn it, it will only delay themselves. If they are all influenced by you, they might cause a big disaster in the future, so I hope you..."

"Do you think my train of thought is wrong?"

"Not wrong, just..."

"My train of thought is your train of thought." Lilith said, "My answer is obtained by reading your mind."

Bruce's movement paused, and he picked up the thesis next to him. He said, "Impossible, how could I write it so messily..."

"I don't know about this. I can only say this is a part of your thoughts. At least at some point, you thought so, otherwise there wouldn't be traces left in your memory."

Bruce immediately reacted. This might be the process of his attempt to use psychoanalysis to analyze this case.

"So it was shit I made myself. Then it's fine."

"Then can you read another kind of thought?"

Lilith activated her ability again. This time she paused for a long while, then said, "Too complicated. If you write all your thoughts on this case into a thesis, then I think it's about 100,000 words. Your knowledge is too broad, and you observe details too carefully. It's simply like a written computer program. You are the smartest person I have ever seen."

Bruce immediately grinned, but for the sake of his teacher image, he still restrained his expression, but then he seemed to think of something, then said, "Can you see the lesson plan in my brain?"

"Of course I can. I can even see your thought of wanting me to help you write a lesson plan, but I want to tell you there's no way. I still have three group discussion tasks on my hands, and I don't have time."

"Then how about this, you write the standard answer obtained from behavioral analysis in my brain into your thesis, so I can set you up as a positive example."

"This is plagiarism, don't you mind?"

"Uh... it can be considered a citation." Bruce's fingers circled and said, "I will let Jenna write the psychoanalytic process in her thesis, so you can significantly show the students the difference between the two schools, let them join one of them according to their strengths and hobbies, and form benign competition, instead of being messy like this."

"If you don't mind, alright, but I can't write it all down, I can only write a part."

"I have marked the key points and highlights for you, do you see them?"

"Hmm... about the same, your use of your brain is amazing, can I learn this from you?"

"Of course, then we have a deal?" Bruce reached out his hand to her.

"Happy trading, Professor Wayne." Lilith shook hands with him.
