Chapter 437

Lex and Bruce both surrounded that teenager, but neither of them went up to support him, but were observing his state. After all, the timing and method of his appearance were both a bit too weird.

"Sorry, can you support me? I'm a bit uncomfortable." That teenager coughed twice, and then said.

Bruce didn't move, just stood in place and asked him: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"My name is Clark, Clark Kent. I already said, I am a student in Metropolis. Seeing the house emitting smoke in the dormitory, I wanted to come and save the fire."

That teenager named Clark sighed, and then continued to say: "I just started university this year. My student ID is in my clothes pocket. You can take it out and see. I didn't lie."

Bruce walked over, groped his clothes pocket, and sure enough found a student ID. On it was written "Metropolis University freshman, Clark Kent, Journalism major."

He put the student ID into his own pocket, then walked forward, supported Clark up, supported Clark to leave the messy reception room, and arrived at a guest room beside.

Clark lay on the bed. After resting for a while, he seemed to feel a bit better. He took off the gas mask on his face, revealing that handsome and handsome face that was on par with Bruce.

He took a few big breaths, then stroked his own chest and said: "Hell, how come I..."

Just at this time, the guest room door was knocked. After Lex standing by the door opened the door, he discovered that standing outside the door was Shiler.

fantuantanshu.

Bruce began to lower his head to look at the patterns on the bed sheet again. Lex also buried his head to study the structure of the door handle. Shiler walked in. Seeing someone lying on the bed, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Bruce, and said: "... This wouldn't be your helicopter engine, right?"

Clark, who had recovered some physical strength, sat up from the bed. He said: "Hello, I am Clark. Thank you for saving me."

Shiler narrowed his eyes, then sized up Clark, and said: "Are you in high school or university?"

"I just started university this year, right at Metropolis University, not far from here. So after I saw smoke here, I rushed over immediately."

"How did you rush over?" Shiler asked.

Bruce also turned his head to look at Clark, obviously also very curious about this question. Shiler glanced at the sky outside the window, and then said: "If my speculation is not wrong, the thickness of the snow now has far exceeded the range that vehicles can pass."

"I walked over."

"I once taught at Metropolis University. Although Metropolis University is close to here, walking takes at least 20 minutes. And from the fire starting to smoke, it didn't exceed three minutes..."

"I run relatively fast. I am the long-distance running champion of our department this year." Clark struggled to explain.

Clearly, the three people in this room except Clark didn't believe this set of rhetoric at all. Just when Bruce wanted to pursue the question, Shiler said: "You look a bit unwell, what's wrong?"

"I just... suddenly a bit uncomfortable." Clark furrowed his brows and said: "Maybe it was because I ran too hurriedly just now."

He looked as if he suddenly reacted, looked at Shiler, and said: "You are a professor at Metropolis University? That, I..."

"The situation is urgent, right?" Shiler continued his words. Clark revealed an expression of relief. He said: "Thank you for your understanding. I know the school told us not to go out..."

"No matter how you came here, but clearly, you are trapped just like us."

"Or..." Shiler looked into Clark's eyes and said: "You can perform for us again, how to run from the Mayor's Mansion to Metropolis University within three minutes."

Clark shook his head like a wave drum. He said: "No, I'm a bit tired."

Shiler turned his head to look at Lex and Bruce, and said: "I want to chat with him about the recent situation of Metropolis University. If you two have nothing to do, go back and rest."

Lex looked like he had something to say, but Shiler turned around and went back directly. He hesitated for a moment, but still left the room. Bruce followed behind him and walked out. Walking in the dim corridor, Bruce turned his head to him and said: "You should know something, right?"

"What do you mean?" Lex didn't answer his question directly.

"That so-called treasure, and your father, as well as that conspiracy two years ago, and that Professor..."

"Oh, you are here." Selina appeared at the stair entrance. She looked back at the messy reception room opposite, then shook her head and said: "You two are really something, actually really blew this place up."

After saying this, she sized up Lex again and said: "Are you really a citizen of Metropolis? This destructive power of yours is not common in Cat Getan either."

Lex seemed completely not wanting to talk to Selina. He stopped his footsteps, looked at Bruce, and said: "I admit you are also a genius, however, compared to me, you are far off. That perfect helicopter engine of yours is just so-so..."

"I can tell you, I do know a lot of information." Lex crossed his arms, looked into Bruce's eyes, and said: "My father has been looking for a treasure. In these two years, he hasn't gained nothing."

"Today's banquet was originally his conspiracy. He invited all the celebrities of the East Coast here, on one hand wanting to take the opportunity to kill people who hindered him, on the other hand also wanting to make trouble, stir up the water, and then fish in troubled waters."

Bruce narrowed his eyes. He looked straight at Lex and said: "You mean, the treasure is here?"

"That's right." Lex gave an affirmative answer, and then he began to pace in front of Bruce, walking while saying:

"The Mayor's Mansion is the most ancient manor in Metropolis. The person who built this manor was the first batch of European immigrants who came here. But later, after the immigrants left this city, this place became the place where successive mayors lived and worked."

"Everyone knows, unlike your Cat Getan, Metropolis is a city with a strong mayor system. The mayor has great power here. The mayor who was two terms before White was once given high hopes. Metropolis became increasingly prosperous under his governance."

"Some people say he might be a powerful candidate for the presidency. However, after he stepped down as mayor, he disappeared strangely. However, this mayor still left behind many rumors, including the one my father heard."

"He heard that this mayor had been conducting some secret radiation experiments. He found a method that could improve human bodies and brains, capable of making humans become mutants with strong physique, long lifespan, and full of wisdom."

Lex glanced at Bruce's expression. He said: "I know, this sounds really like an idiot's fantasy, but he did find some evidence proving that this mayor was conducting secret experiments underground in the Mayor's Mansion."

"He wanted to acquire extraordinary wisdom every moment. Therefore, he had been investigating this matter, until he bought all the buildings around the Mayor's Mansion, and then planned this incident, wanting to take the opportunity to investigate the secret underground in the Mayor's Mansion..."

Lex stopped his footsteps, looked at Bruce, and said: "Metropolis's affairs should be managed by Metropolis people. No matter what the mayor is doing underground, it has nothing to do with you. Go back to your Cat Getan."

"You know what I am truly interested in. What exactly was that conspiracy two years ago? And, that Professor..."

"At that time, I was indeed also in the Mayor's Mansion, but I didn't leave the room for the whole process. What exactly happened in the manor, I don't know."

"Then..."

"I won't say anything about everything related to that Professor."

Lex crossed his fingers, made an X in front of his mouth, and after lowering his hands, turned around and left. Before leaving, he also revealed a slightly nasty smile.

After he left, Selina leaned over and walked forward side by side with Bruce. After the two of them returned to the room, Bruce sat on the bed leaning against the headboard, a trace of fatigue appearing on his face. He rarely showed this expression in front of outsiders, but Selina seemed to be used to it.

"Looks like you are a bit unhappy?" Selina sat beside him, then turned her head to look at his face and said: "Do you want to know the story of that Professor that much?"

Bruce pursed his lips. He answered: "If I can't figure out his origin, I can't turn a blind eye to those dangerous abilities of his."

"You don't trust him? But I see, he seems to trust you quite a bit."

"Where did you see that?"

"Didn't you notice? At the moment that Lex wanted to attack you, he chose to stand on your side."

Bruce shook his head and said: "I just don't trust those dangerous abilities. If one day these abilities go out of control, I need to have a method to counter them..."

"Alright, then let's talk about that treasure. I like finding treasures, how about you?" Selina said to Bruce with a smile.

"Lex told me there is a secret underground in the Mayor's Mansion, maybe it's just to let me go and scout the way for him."

"Yeah, but..."

Selina deliberately dragged out a long tone, causing Bruce to turn his head to look at her. Then, Bruce saw Selina stretch out a hand, flicked her index finger, and a key appeared at her fingertips.

"What if, I found a key on his body?"
