Chapter 3037

Although Schiller had discovered that this power might come from the witch Circe, he didn't say this, and Wonder Woman, who also had some sense of this power, also chose to keep her mouth shut.

Because they simultaneously realized a problem—the witch Circe is now in the crowd.

When Blue Beetle passed the Mercury security check, it didn't have this thing on its body. This thing was put on later. And the security check didn't find this thing on anyone. If it was manipulated by a witch, it should not be able to achieve such precise control of power, then only the possibility of the witch herself taking action remains.

The security check on Mercury is very strict, including magic checks. At that time, Constantine and Zatanna were both present. I am afraid only the witch who possesses witchcraft power can deceive them and carry power that can influence Blue Beetle to board Mercury.

Since that is the case, thwarting one of her conspiracies is enough. If the matter is made too big and the fish is scared away, it won't be good.

Even for this, it cannot be completely thwarted. Schiller gave Diana a look, and Diana said directly: "This kind of power is very strange, not quite like complete magic. I haven't seen it either. Looking at the shape, it also looks like a technological product. Bruce, why don't you take it back and study it?"

Bruce obviously heard Diana's hint, so he had to take the little thing and said: "I haven't seen this thing either, and I'm not sure if I can find anything. I am more concerned about the situation of this bug."

Ted was anxious. After Arthur released the water prison, he rushed up directly and said: "No, Professor, you must not break it. I really need it. If it really doesn't work, I can take it back to Earth..."

Schiller interrupted him and said: "What you need is a souvenir left to you by your teacher, or an alien weapon that can provide you with superpowers?"

"Uh, I just want this bug. Superpowers and such, having them is of course very good. If not, then forget it."

"I believe Professor Wayne can delete the software program inside without destroying the appearance of this bug. Are you willing to do so?"

Ted hadn't even had time to speak yet, and this bug called out first, "Oh, no! Wait! You cannot delete my program!"

As soon as this word came out, all the students looked at it.

Although the victim is now resurrected, this pain of death is not fake. To say that the one who killed her was an unknown alien weapon, the students could barely accept it, but this weapon actually has its own wisdom, which is another matter.

Realizing that the atmosphere was wrong, Blue Beetle hurriedly opened its mouth to defend itself, "I feel very sorry, but I was controlled by a strange power. Although I could feel the information from the outside, I couldn't move at all."

Then it turned its glowing eyes, looked at Schiller, and said: "This gentleman, the process you just said is basically all correct, but that was absolutely not my intention. Killing this lady has no benefit to me. If I wanted to kill someone, committing a crime anywhere on Earth would be much simpler than taking action in a place with strict monitoring."

"Have you really never killed anyone?" Bruce asked.

"Absolutely not!" Blue Beetle emphasized at the top of its lungs. Suddenly, as if it remembered something, it turned to look at Ted and said: "Ted can testify for me. We two are almost inseparable..."

Ted just wanted to open his mouth to say something, when the Booster Gold next to him gave him an elbow. He suddenly heard a female voice in his brain, "I am your classmate Lilith. My ability is telepathy. The professors now want to figure out who the mastermind behind controlling the bug is. You must let the bug say enough clues, otherwise no one can protect it."

Ted is not stupid either. He understood and said: "I have no way to testify for you. You almost don't talk to me, and just like this time, I didn't bring you when I took a bath. Who knows what you were doing at that time."

Blue Beetle looked like it was about to be angered to smoke by him. It thought for a while, and then said: "I won't hide it from you. I was indeed an alien weapon once. The purpose of going to various planets was to infiltrate their civilization."

"But after coming to Earth, my program had an accidental error, leading to my self-consciousness being liberated. Under the guidance of Ted's teacher Daniel Garrett, I became his assistant and helped him fight crime together. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate Garrett's life."

"Professor Garrett has already passed away. No one knows what you did after he left. This cannot prove your innocence." Bruce said: "Especially in this matter, having no motive doesn't mean you can't take action. You are not a carbon-based life form at all, and your moral values are different from ours. Perhaps you just did it for fun, wanting to see us in a mess."

"I really didn't!" After Blue Beetle recovered from the initial panic, it thought carefully and said: "I was indeed controlled by someone. I can give you all the information I received after coming to the base. Perhaps you can analyze who the murderer controlling me is."

"Can't you analyze it yourself?"

The tentacles on Blue Beetle's head swayed, and then said: "My analysis ability is indeed much stronger than humans, but it seems you have more professional existence here. After all, I am just a spy weapon. Collecting information is my strength, but compared with the smart butler here, the analysis ability is slightly insufficient."

Everyone loves to hear good words. Unfortunately, the smart butler that comes with this base was not researched by anyone here, but by Stark, so Bruce still didn't let it go.

"You can completely modify the information you got to mislead us, thereby making us produce greater chaos. How are we supposed to believe you?"

"First, your smart butler can analyze whether the information has been modified. Second, I have almost never come into contact with magic and have no resistance to this. I can't run out of here at all. I am willing to accept imprisonment in the process of information analysis, but you have to help me ensure Ted's safety. I promised his teacher not to let anything happen to him."

Once the teacher was mentioned, Ted softened again. He opened his mouth and said: "Since Blue Beetle has no resistance to magic, why don't you use magic to build a cage for it and put it here with me? I will keep an eye on it and will absolutely not let it run out."

This can also be considered the best result so far. But Wonder Woman was still not at ease. After Arthur created the water prison, she pulled off one of her hairs, tied it to Blue Beetle's body, and said: "We cannot determine whether the magic energy in your body has been cleared completely. This can ensure that as long as there is energy flowing through your body, I will discover it."

"I will also keep an eye on you." Clark said: "I can hear the movement of the machinery operating in your body. I have already recorded this pattern. If there is a change, I will immediately come to find you."

"Don't think about being able to run away quickly. Within the range so close to the sun, I will definitely catch you."

Blue Beetle had already scanned the bodies of these professors in the Mercury base long ago. It knew that Diana and Clark were telling the truth, so it nodded and said: "I will stay honestly."

Schiller was also not dissatisfied with this handling result. Since he wanted Blue Beetle's power, he had to leave it a way to live. Moreover, they still had the last layer of insurance, which is The Flash.

If something really happened and The Flash was needed to capture Blue Beetle, then Booster Gold would definitely not block it. No matter how fast Blue Beetle runs, it is impossible to be faster than The Flash.

And they took such a cautious attitude to deal with Blue Beetle, naturally they could make the witch Circe think that their focus was all on Blue Beetle, feeling that her trick of alienation and diversion was successful, and she would be even more reckless in her actions.

After the matter ended, the victim and all suspects went to the school hospital for examination. Besides checking whether they had suffered other injuries, they also needed to find out whether there was magic power in their bodies.

After returning to the office, Schiller and Diana began to review this incident. Diana opened her mouth and said: "Don't you think Circe's style of doing things has changed a lot? Has she become smarter?"

Schiller naturally thought of this point. Comparing the Polo Community Child Abuse Case and this case, one can easily see the qualitative leap in the witch Circe's IQ and means.

There will always be people who wonder, what kind of person can be considered a good conspirator?

Once conspiracy is mentioned, people will think of cruelty, evil, and unscrupulous means. But in Schiller's view, formulating an excellent conspiracy strategy, the most important thing is to learn to restrain. Greed is the enemy of conspiracy.

Since it is a conspiracy, it proves that this matter cannot be completed through legitimate means. If one had that ability, there would be no need to use means behind one's back.

Therefore, once you want everything when formulating a conspiracy plan, then this conspiracy is destined to fail.

A conspirator must first admit that they are in a weak position. Since they are in a weak position, ambition will become the biggest obstacle, making people want too much, thereby leading to high-mindedness and low-ability, and flaws everywhere.

For anyone, admitting that they are weak is quite difficult, especially some people in high positions. Years of turning hands into clouds and covering hands into rain will always make them produce wrong judgments. When they have to use conspiracy, they still feel that they are the controller who plans strategies, thereby doing things like wanting to put an elephant into a refrigerator, making people feel very stupid.

The means used by a good conspirator are quite restrained, because in a weak position, being able to pull back one point is earning. Reaching a minimum goal and then withdrawing is wise. Being too concerned about sunk costs, calculating gains and losses, and not withdrawing at the critical moment will inevitably pull oneself into the quagmire.

The child abuse case was like this. When realizing that someone was investigating this matter, it was the best time to withdraw.

At that time, what they were doing was originally something that couldn't see the light. If someone caught their horse's foot, they should run away quickly. But they just felt that they could rely on means far beyond ordinary people to catch the investigating person and beat them up. This is typical of not understanding restraint.

Before Schiller brought Scarlet Witch over, they slipped away. That group of people investigating in Gotham didn't have enough clues to bring them to justice, so they could only eat a dumb loss.

And their arrogant way of doing things made their losses reach the maximum. Not only was the operation of many years completely destroyed, but they also carried a fatal curse themselves.

Still that sentence, a person's personality is difficult to change easily. Most people are dogs that can't change eating shit.

A witch who was very reckless in this event, at this time, is also suffering from a fatal curse, so her mood should be more anxious, and her means should be more radical.

But in this classroom murder case, she showed amazing restraint, hitting the target with one blow, and fleeing a thousand miles away.

Neither did she use all kinds of means to make everyone's suspicion reach the maximum, but focused on Blue Beetle and Zan, creating irreconcilable contradictions, nor did she have to exert Blue Beetle's role to the maximum after the incident, letting it attack others, but was willing to give up, letting this matter end smoothly, lowering everyone's vigilance.

Such a conspirator is undoubtedly more difficult to deal with than a reckless opponent. Schiller had to suspect that Circe, whose style of doing things had changed so much, was standing behind another cautious hunter.
