Chapter 3791

~11 min read 2,140 words

Mephisto stood behind the registration counter of the library, completely baffled, and was full of visible question marks again.

"Could it be that Shi Difen discovered I came over last time?" He walked around the counter and said, "There's no need to set the trigger frequency so complicated, right? This doesn't need brute force cracking, I can't open it either."

Schiller leaned against the counter and said: "What's the problem?"

"The lock of the secret room has been changed. You can understand it as changing from a simple door bolt to a smart password lock. I can't open it now either."

"It must be that Shi Difen discovered you were playing with movie props, so he locked the door." Schiller said.

Mephisto shook his head and said: "The possibility of him flying over and beating me up is higher than the possibility of designing such a complicated lock to lock the door. This doesn't look like Shi Difen's handwriting."

"Then it might be that others can't stand you." Schiller smiled gloatingly, "Alright, there's definitely no way to play the scene today. Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm going back first."

After saying that, Schiller left. Mephisto was still a bit unwilling, seemingly hesitating whether to violently break the lock, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. After all, if it was really locked by Strange, if he went up and smashed the lock, that narrow-minded Strange would definitely kick him out of the cast list.

Just after the two of them left, three Batmen walked out of the secret room. The sound insulation effect of the room was quite good, and they didn't hear anyone outside.

But who is Batman? That is the greatest detective in the world. When he walked out, he discovered that some fibrous fluff was left on the surface of the registration counter, which looked like it was left by a sleeve pressing on it.

"Someone just came." The Main Universe Batman said very firmly, "One stood in front of the counter, the other stood in front of the door. It seems our black magician gentleman has an accomplice."

"Forget about this for now," The Arkham Batman said, "The effect of the mirror used as a magic energy detector is not very good. I think we should consider other media, I think a crystal ball is good. What do you guys think?"

"Now it's not a question of what is suitable, but a question of what we can get." The Main Universe Batman said, "I remember there is a crystal ball in Dr. Schiller's decorative cabinet."

"Aren't you afraid of making him bald?"

"This time we can't steal, because that is his private collection. Perhaps we can ask him to borrow it."

"He told me today that if anyone finds the mirror, he will give some reward. I think we can return the mirror, and then ask him for a crystal ball."

"Good idea." The Main Universe Batman said, "Let's do it."

It was another morning. Schiller stayed up too late memorizing lines last night, and was still in his sleep at this time. When he was awakened by the knocking on the door, he looked out the window and found that the sky was just beginning to brighten.

He went down to open the door, and standing outside was the Arkham Batman and two mirrors. The Arkham Batman shrugged and said: "I found your mirror, Doctor. Found it near the corridor bridge of the east tower."

Schiller reacted—the other side of the corridor bridge of the east tower was the dormitory of the Mercury Academy. "Sure enough, it's that bunch of guys."

He nodded and said: "Thank you very much, I'll find someone to inlay it later. What reward do you want?"

"After listening to the rune class, I gained a lot, and want to make an energy storage ornament myself. I think the crystal ball in your collection cabinet is good. Can you give me that?"

Schiller looked back at the collection cabinet. Actually, there was no collection of his own in this collection cabinet, they were all decorations stuffed in during renovation. Because it wasn't obtained by Schiller himself, he couldn't talk about whether he liked it or not, it looked good when placed there, so he put it there.

He walked over, picked up the crystal ball and looked at it, it was just a very ordinary purple crystal ball, and it had no magic characteristics either, it looked like a pure decoration. The thing that was least lacking in the magic school was crystal, although this clarity was relatively high, there must be better ones. Schiller looked at it in his hand, and threw it to the Arkham Batman.

"Thanks, Doctor. If you want to know who took your mirror, perhaps you can go ask the people of the Mercury Academy."

After he left, Schiller sat in front of the desk feeling a bit sleepy. After relaxing for a while, he opened his phone, only to find that the group was already discussing hotly. The theme of the discussion was: the traces they had set up in the forest before were somehow destroyed.

Seeing this message, Schiller sat up straight immediately. There was no other reason, those traces were all made by him, if they were gone, wouldn't it need to be made again?

It had been very hot these past few days, and it was even hotter and more humid in the forest. Schiller didn't want to go there again, so he hurriedly asked in the group what was going on.

The director team people said one word after another, but no one knew what was going on at all. Because it was still in the prop setup stage, the camera hadn't entered, so it didn't film who did it. Strange went to check, and didn't find any magic energy residue, indicating that the other party used purely physical means. But the huge magic forest didn't leave any other traces. This didn't need to be checked to know, it must be some Batman, only Batman had this level.

But the problem was that there were too many Batmen in the school, and they couldn't find out which specific Batman it was. So Strange could only urgently summon all the students to the auditorium to hold a morning meeting. Schiller was a bit late when he went, and Strange's speech had already been going on for half.

"... I must emphasize to you again, you are not allowed to leave the castle range, and you are not allowed to go to the magic forest! This is a violation of school rules!" Strange was almost roaring, "It is very dangerous there, the environment is very complex, and there are many magic plants you can't deal with. Rushing in rashly will only make you lose your lives!"

Strange didn't think he was alarmist. Although there were no beating plants here, in order to make the forest look good, they did transplant some poisonous plants, especially poisonous mushrooms. It wasn't that you had to eat them to be poisoned, it was possible to be poisoned by coming into contact with spores. If Batman was really poisoned, he wouldn't be able to explain it either.

"The magic forest is under construction recently." Strange tried hard to calm his emotions and explained patiently, "That is a very important project. If the progress is delayed, there will be very serious consequences. No student is allowed to go in. If I find anyone violating this rule, I will expel him directly!"

Schiller could very clearly feel Strange's helplessness. He knew it wasn't that Strange didn't want to talk about filming the movie, but they all signed a confidentiality agreement. Now there was no one in the outside world who knew that the second part had already begun to prepare for filming. If Strange directly exposed the filming of the movie, he would have to pay money.

Originally, the students might have guessed it. After all, their enthusiasm for the movie was very high, and everyone wanted to show their faces in the new movie. But unfortunately, after Wanda finished teaching the basic use of the wand, she began to teach flying class. Flying class attracted everyone's attention. After all, who didn't want to fly freely in the sky?

So Strange's warning was like playing the lute to a cow, and no one took it to heart at all. Almost everyone was discussing the flying class, discussing who could fly and who couldn't, and how to fly to be cooler.

The flying of mages here in Marvel was not riding a broom. They didn't need external assistance, and could lift themselves up with magic energy alone. However, flying consumed more magic energy, even more than opening a portal, so mages didn't fly often.

The one with relatively rich experience in this was Wanda. Her Scarlet Power almost had no upper limit, and her flying speed was faster than mages, so whenever she encountered any urgent matter, she would fly over, naturally becoming the main lecturer of this course.

"Alright, now pick up your wands. Just like I taught you before, let the magic power flow through your body, feel the process of it wrapping around you. Then combine it with what you were taught in the meditation class, imagine gently, feel that there is a wind lifting you up..."

Now everyone was standing on the lawn of the castle's back garden. Wanda was telling them the essentials of flying. Everyone was full of enthusiasm, trying hard to be the first person to fly.

But in fact, this was very difficult. Because the control of magic power was idealistic, most people had neither flown nor dared to imagine that they could fly, and couldn't grasp that kind of light feeling from the inside out.

This time it was the Neptune Academy and the Mercury Academy having class together again. Among all the students, the one who learned the best was Bruce, because he was already very adapted to the life of having wings, and the battle suit he wore could also provide him with flying ability.

Wanda was still lecturing, but Bruce had already flown around her three times. Wanda finally couldn't bear it anymore, and hit him down with a streak of Scarlet Power.

"Bruce! Go back to your position! Otherwise, I will pull out all the feathers on your wings, and Lucifer won't be able to save you!"

Bruce shrugged and walked back.

The Arkham Batman was a bit surprised, there was actually someone who could control Bruce, which made him look at the Scarlet Witch with new eyes.

Of course they knew that this red-haired lady had two brushes, otherwise she wouldn't be a professor in the magic school, but they had no concept of how strong she was.

Wanda didn't like fighting very much anyway. Even if there was a Battleworld quota, she didn't go often. The counterparts in other universes were about the same, fishing for three days and drying nets for two years, and the base in Battleworld was still a blank sheet until now. Batman naturally couldn't rank her.

The Main Universe Batman just glanced at Wanda and didn't say much. He wasn't interested in flying at all, but took advantage of the gap when others were practicing flying movements, and moved to the side of the Owlman.

"You went to the magic forest." This wasn't a question, the tone sounded quite firm. Owlman also didn't have any surprise, glanced at him with his eyes, and didn't reply.

"What did you find there?"

"I did find something." Owlman hummed lightly and said, "However, I'm more curious, what are you guys doing in the library every day?"

"Let's exchange some information." The Main Universe Batman said, "Tell me what you saw and heard in the magic forest, and I'll tell you what we found in the library."

Owlman opened his mouth as if he wanted to refuse, but the Main Universe Batman said: "This school is too big. If we explore separately and refuse to exchange information, I'm afraid we won't be able to figure out the situation in half a year. Do you want to waste so long here?"

Owlman seemed to be a bit moved by him. He cleared his throat, looked left and right, and said: "Someone is active in the magic forest. I don't mean they went there, but long-term activity. He seems to be searching for materials, possibly planning to do something."

The Main Universe Batman knew he was hiding something, but he didn't care either. He said: "What a coincidence, I also discovered that someone is engaged in secret activities inside the castle, and it is also long-term activity. Who do you think it could be?"
