Chapter 3042

Following this, as expected, rumors about the explosion of the spaceship from the Wonder Twins' hometown began to spread among the students.

Fortunately, the Wonder Twins had already put on a show of wailing and crying, and now basically all the students knew that the high-tech spaceship they had spent a lot of money to buy on their home planet had somehow gone out of control and exploded in space. Not only did they lose a large sum of money, but now even returning home had become a problem.

Several aliens among the student body also corroborated their story, stating that the Wonder Twins were still too young and that the performance of such newly launched high-tech products was unstable. Spaceships were always bought used, not new; they must have been scammed.

This rumor was just passed around casually and didn't attract the students' attention.

Ever since the Bonu attack case began, the Mercury base had not had a moment of peace. Now, everyone in the Justice League was convinced that the mastermind, or at least a minor leader, must be hiding among the students; otherwise, it would be impossible to cause trouble so incessantly.

But what worried them even more was the tragedy that Lila predicted might happen tonight.

It wasn't scary if someone died, after all, Bruce could bring them back, but if it was a tragic death, even if they were resurrected later, it would definitely leave a huge psychological shadow, and mass panic would definitely be unstoppable.

Moreover, Lila actually said that this tragedy would be related to Schiller. Looking at the bright side, maybe Schiller killed the murderer; looking at the dark side, if Schiller lost control, it would truly be the end.

Bruce seized the time to have the smart butler arrange cameras in all the blind spots of the surveillance, ensuring 100% coverage with no blind spots; even if a cockroach ran past, it had to be filmed.

Iron Man didn't have as strong a desire for control as Batman, so the cameras he arranged in the Mercury base were at a normal working density, and even increased to ensure no infiltration, but in Bruce's view, there were still many deficiencies.

He went to the main control room to debug the cameras, using Batman's eye to fill every blind spot again. Moreover, one space couldn't have just one camera; there had to be multiple cameras reflecting each other to ensure that no matter which direction the murderer acted from, their face could be filmed.

In this regard, he was a professional.

Furthermore, murder was essentially a human problem. At a critical juncture, Bruce couldn't be bothered to consider teacher ethics anymore; he directly installed cameras on all students. Once a camera filmed a critical situation, it would automatically sound an alarm.

The Flash was on standby at all times; once a situation was discovered, he could arrive at the scene in less than 0.1 seconds and take the victim away.

The magic-side professors were also on guard at all times. Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, and Wonder Woman arranged magic detection devices throughout the base; as soon as there was any magical fluctuation, they could feel it immediately.

Arthur also spent a great deal of effort, laying a thin layer of water curtain on all walls and floors, ensuring that anyone who touched it would leave traces. Even if they teleported, they would leave traces of passing, ensuring that anyone doing anything would leave a mark.

This way, even if all preventive measures failed, at least evidence could be left for analysis.

The whole afternoon had a kind of calm before the storm.

Near dinner time, Schiller suddenly woke up. He turned his head and said to Clark, "Let me see Brand; he should have a way to deal with my mental state."

Clark was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that Brand was a psychiatrist. It was just that the other party had just arrived, and the people in the Justice League didn't have this person in their minds, which was why they hadn't thought of it. Now, their school infirmary actually had a psychiatry department.

Clark patted his head with some annoyance and said, "My god, how could I forget? It really should be left to a professional psychiatrist."

"Professor, I'll take you there right away; you'll get professional treatment soon." As he said this, Clark stood up, and Lila, who was drowsy on the side, also opened her eyes.

Lila didn't know who Brand was, and she didn't care. She followed behind Clark and walked towards the school infirmary together.

They soon arrived in front of an office in the school infirmary. Lila habitually activated her ability and suddenly widened her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, the office door opened, and she saw Brand looking at her with a smile.

Lila trembled and closed her mouth.

Clark sent Schiller in. After closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned his head, he saw Lila's terrified expression.

Clark asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lila covered her mouth and shook her head, her eyes first glancing to the side, then she suddenly turned around and rushed downstairs at the fastest speed.

Clark was shocked and hurriedly followed behind her. Lila's speed was no match for Superman's, and she was soon blocked by Clark in front of the school infirmary.

"What's wrong with you? Lila, do you feel unwell?"

Lila still stared at him with a terrified expression but didn't speak. Clark seemed to understand something; he pressed Lila's shoulders and took her flying out of the window, flying all the way to the other side of the sun.

"Don't worry, Lila, take a deep breath. With the sun here, no one can threaten you. Please believe me, I will protect you."

It seemed that Clark, bathing in the sunlight at such a close distance, appeared too powerful, or perhaps Lila really read Clark's sincere inner activities and was moved by him. She took a deep breath and said, "That Dr. Brand has a problem!"

Clark slightly opened his mouth and said, "What?"

"He is not human; he is a monster!"

Lila grabbed Clark's shoulders backhanded and said, "I can be sure that the abnormality Professor Rodriguez is encountering now is related to him. I saw the same thing on them!"

"The same thing?"

"The same kind of terror!" Lila said somewhat anxiously, "I have no way to describe it to you because that thing is indescribable, but it is very terrifying. It is possible that Brand is controlling Schiller!"

Clark's face immediately became serious, but he still appeared somewhat hesitant. He asked, "The two of them are good friends; are you sure?"

"I absolutely feel it right!" Lila said very firmly, "If Brand is controlling Schiller, then showing that they are friends is easy. Besides that, I don't know what other possibilities there are..."

After thinking for a moment, Clark said, "Then isn't Professor Schiller in danger?"

"He won't be in life-threatening danger because he is still useful, but that kind of terrifying thing is lingering in his mind, making him lose his way, which might prompt him to commit dangerous acts." Lila gave an objective judgment.

"Then let's go back and find him now!" After saying this, Clark was about to take Lila and fly back.

Lila hurriedly shook her head to stop him. She said, "No, that thing is not something we can deal with. I know you are very powerful, but the terror is not in the physical body, but in the mind; your mind is probably unable to be immune."

This was the first time Clark had heard someone say there was something he couldn't deal with, but he wasn't a very arrogant person, so he naturally knew the truth that there was always someone better.

Lila dared to make such a judgment, it must be because what she had experienced made her feel fear. She might be magnifying the fear, but even for the purpose of not stimulating her and giving her a sense of security, Clark couldn't appear not to believe her.

"I believe you, Miss Lila. Then what do you think we should do?"

"If it were the old me, I would choose not to participate in this matter and run as far away as possible, but I feel that this kind of terrifying thing won't let me go easily; running anywhere is useless." Lila revealed a painful expression.

She grabbed Clark's arm tightly, as if that could make her feel safe. After calming her emotions slightly, she said, "I feel that someone will die tragically, and this matter is related to Schiller. And if Schiller is controlled by Dr. Brand, then this matter is what Brand wants to do. Why does he want to do this?"

"In fact, I don't think he can gain any benefits from it. Perhaps he might just want to make Schiller suffer, and make us suffer too. There are such people in this world; you must believe..."

Lila's words were somewhat incoherent, but Clark could understand what she meant, so he asked, "Then to prevent the tragedy from happening, should we find a way to separate the two of them and cut off their connection?"

"No, this cannot be done. The things in the prophecy will inevitably happen; you cannot stop them. We can only manage the aftermath in time."

Clark frowned. In fact, he felt this was absurd, but he wouldn't easily judge something he didn't understand. Lila showed her ability in front of them for the first time; this might not be untrue. Out of caution, one should always treat it seriously.

"Let's go back first." Clark said, "We have to tell Bruce about this; he is the person who understands Schiller best. Perhaps he will have a way."

The two returned to the Mercury base together. At this time, the members of the Justice League had already gathered together. Seeing Clark bringing Lila flying back from the outside, they felt somewhat surprised.

Lila said what she had said to Clark before again. Everyone except Bruce revealed a serious expression, but Bruce said very affirmatively.

"Although it's impossible for there to be no relationship between Brand and Schiller, it shouldn't be that one side is controlling the other. Schiller's terrible mental state can only be the result of his own plan, not because someone attacked or forced him."

"Are you sure?" Even if Diana admitted that Bruce and Schiller understood each other, this matter was of great importance, and she needed evidence.

Bruce changed his perspective to explain. He said, "If someone really controlled Schiller and made his mental state so terrible, then he would definitely pay the price for his stupid behavior."

"What do you mean?" Oliver frowned and asked.

"How did Schiller know Ted's mental state was bad?" Bruce asked.

This question hit the nail on the head. The previous rush had left everyone without time to think about this question.

Schiller didn't get up until 11:30, and then for some reason, he walked to the faculty cafeteria like a sleepwalker, and then stayed in the lounge next to the cafeteria the whole time, never going anywhere else, let alone contacting Ted.

Even when Ted was attacked, he should have been in the cafeteria building, having no chance to contact anyone or anything related to it, hadn't watched the surveillance footage, and didn't even have photos.

Then how did he know there was a problem with Ted's emotions?

Is it really clairvoyance?

The problem is that in the past, Schiller at least had to take a look at the crime scene, ask the victim or bystanders, or at least take a look at photos or surveillance footage, right?

Even if he was really clairvoyant, a magician would still need to find a medium. What did he have there?

Clark recalled the scene at that time and was also puzzled, saying, "I don't know either. When I called you, he only had a cup of coffee in his hand."

At this time, everyone also realized something was wrong. They all looked at Bruce.

"Schiller's talent is even more bizarre than you imagine; otherwise, why would I have questioned for so many years that this thing is theology? The facts are as you have seen: he guesses out of thin air, but every guess is accurate."

Everyone felt very puzzled. Diana shook her head vigorously and said, "Seriously, Bruce, I think I understand a little why your grades weren't good. This makes no sense at all. Is it really not a coincidence?"

"Once is a coincidence, but is a hundred times or a thousand times also a coincidence?"

Clark continued, "Then what does this have to do with you saying it's impossible for someone to control Schiller?"

"The worse Schiller's mental state is, the higher the accuracy of his perception," Bruce said. "If someone could really probe his mental world, they wouldn't not know this point. So, letting his mental state deteriorate is just asking for trouble."

"Although Schiller's perception ability has become stronger, his ability to act has become weaker," Diana questioned. She said, "Without the ability to act, what can he do just by relying on perception?"

"He can get close to the truth," Bruce lowered his eyes and said. "The moment he hits rock bottom, any disguise and concealment will be in vain."

"You mean he can directly know who the mastermind is?!"

"That's right." Bruce nodded.

"Will he tell us?"

"According to common sense, he will; he also needs our strength." Bruce said this, but added a sentence in his heart, "But Schiller has nothing to do with common sense."
