Chapter 4445

"Still not quite right," Clark said again. "He definitely has more than this one goal. If he wanted to guard against Amanda, he could just come to the office and tell me, or call me. Except for Batman, no one else would go to tap the President's phone."

"Who knows, he loves to beat around the bush," Diana said. "It's too hard to get people like them to tell you directly. Being evasive and full of induction when speaking is their habit."

After Diana paused, she continued: "But I also feel that he should have more than this one goal. Just letting us have some precautions is clearly not enough; I don't believe he doesn't hate Amanda."

"He would definitely hate Amanda very much," Clark said. "Last time Congress approached him and asked him to take over A. R. G. U. S., it was because Amanda died, and after Amanda resurrected, she found him to do this thankless job. He will definitely give her some color to see."

"Could it be that he wants us to deal with Amanda?" Barry asked. "But as you said, he just needs to tell you this news, and without any induction, you would definitely go to deal with Amanda; no one hates her more than you."

"Have you ever thought that Amanda is not the point at all?" J'onn spoke up, his voice revealing his consistent calmness. "People like Schiller wouldn't spend too much effort on a clown. It looks like he is targeting Amanda, but I'm afraid he wants to target the real mastermind even more."

"You mean 'Death'?"

"That's right," J'onn said. "Clearly, letting Amanda stage such a drama of assassinating the President might help him find out the mastermind's movements, or do something directly to him."

Diana and Clark looked at each other. Diana said again: "If Amanda, under Schiller's arrangement, followed the data stolen from the Metropolis Museum and found the Kryptonite, and then arranged such an assassination operation, it proves that she and Dr. Erdel are staying together, but they didn't know each other when they were alive."

"Yes, they didn't know each other when they were alive; the two of them are not people from the same era," J'onn said. "This proves one thing, a very important thing."

"What?"

"If Dr. Erdel is the real Dr. Erdel, that is, truly resurrected, then he would absolutely not be able to help Amanda. Think about how Dr. Erdel died; it was because he didn't want to be in the same boat as the government, and even chose the extreme method of suicide. Then if he were exactly the same as when he was alive, no matter how Amanda coerced him, he would absolutely never cooperate."

Clark suddenly realized and said, "That's right, this is the most powerful evidence! This can prove that the people resurrected are not real relatives at all, they are completely different!"

For the Justice League, this is simply great news. To be honest, although they all eventually made relatively rational choices and no one really sank into the sweet words of those resurrected people, there must be someone who is unwilling.

They look exactly like their relatives and possess exactly the same memories. The opportunity to make up for regrets is right in front of them; no one would be completely unmoved.

It's just because the current situation is relatively smooth, and Batman made precautions early, letting these impostors die socially, and with the joint efforts of many parties, the Justice League didn't fall into chaos because of this scheme. However, if everyone still holds hope, feeling that there is a 1% possibility that they are their resurrected relatives, then if they meet on the battlefield in the future, something will definitely go wrong.

And assuming the process of the President's assassination is really as they deduced, the data stolen from the Metropolis Museum was analyzed by Dr. Erdel, who found the key clues and guided Amanda to find Kryptonite to deal with the President, that is bringing two people who are most unlikely to cooperate together. This is the most powerful evidence that the resurrected people are fakes.

Because it is very difficult to prove that this bunch of impostors are fake; from a physiological perspective, it is almost impossible. Otherwise, Barry's parents wouldn't have been captured for so long, and Batman would definitely have produced decisive evidence. If he can't produce it, it proves that they really are from a physiological perspective.

Since it can't be proven from a physiological perspective, it can only be proven from a psychological perspective. And if the resurrected relatives were really perfectly restored, then Amanda and Dr. Erdel should be like fire and water. Let alone cooperating, the first time Amanda went to Dr. Erdel and stated her request, she would definitely be met with Dr. Erdel's most fierce attack.

Dr. Erdel didn't fight back back then, looking like he was cowardly and aggrieved, but you have to look at what era it was. That era was truly full of strong people; picking any small leader would be better than Amanda. Dr. Erdel fought against ancient gods, so it's understandable that he fell, but this doesn't mean he is weak. Dealing with an Amanda would still be easy, at least he would absolutely not be forced to commit suicide like last time.

He died on this last time, and who knows how much resentment he has been holding in. An idiot like Amanda, who might as well have written her stupidity on her face, looks like the kind of soft persimmon that is easy to deal with; Dr. Erdel would definitely strike with a heavy fist, and Amanda would absolutely not get any benefit.

Taking a step back, even if he didn't deal with Amanda, he would definitely drive her out. The plan to throw babies into space is very evil, and assassinating the President is even more insane. A person like Dr. Erdel who sacrifices his life for righteousness has absolutely no possibility of compromise.

But it just so happens that in this plan to assassinate the President, the two of them might have cooperated. This is simply a huge flaw, which will make the members of the Justice League completely lose the last trace of hope for those fake relatives.

The body can be exactly the same, the memory can be perfectly inherited, but as long as the personality is different, it is not the same person.

In other words, the body can be damaged, the memory can be missing, but as long as their personality remains unchanged, they are still the same person.

Personality is like a person's core setting, and it is also the underlying code. If these things are changed, then there is no way to say they are the same person. No matter how they disguise themselves, it's just a facade.

For example, Dr. Erdel's performance before he died was completely that of a great scientist who was not afraid of power and was not afraid of death, and then you let him cooperate with the synonym of evil authority, the anti-human and anti-social agent head; who would admit that they are the same person?

It can be said that at this step, the mastermind's plan to resurrect the friends and relatives of the Justice League and appeal to their emotions can be considered to have completely gone down the drain.

"I'm afraid you all still see this too simply," Luthor said again. "Although according to what you said, an upright person cannot cooperate with an evil person, which can prove that the upright person is fake, it can be considered evidence that convinces you. But if it were me, I would prove it to you one by one."

"What do you mean?" Diana asked, looking at him.

"I would expose everyone," Lex said, "let them all show their evil side, so that I can completely cut off your thoughts."

"How can this be done?" Diana was a bit puzzled.

"This is what I have to ask you; where did you put those impostors?"

Clark was a bit vigilant and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm not trying to pry for information; I can guess it, probably just locked up somewhere for research. But you'd better be careful. The assassination of the President was a great success, which has already made Amanda lose her head. Just like the moment a fish is pulled out of the water, that powerful tail flick and struggle, they will want more."

"Look at what I said, right?" Diana said. "People like this always speak in riddles, insisting on using all kinds of metaphors. Does speaking directly tire you out?"

Lex was about to open his mouth to say something, but Clark's phone rang. He picked up the phone, his expression became serious in an instant, and he said to the other end of the phone, "What did you say? They broke out of prison?!"

Clark walked quickly into the Oval Office. A pale-faced official was already standing in front of him, and Clark looked at him coldly. The official shook violently and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. President, it's our negligence..."

"Your management is indeed negligent; with just a few ordinary people, you let them run away? What are you all doing?!"

The official sighed deeply and said, "Mr. President, although this has the suspicion of shirking responsibility, I still have to say that, in fact, we really didn't find anything. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand."

"Some people don't believe they are Martians," the official said bluntly. "Including some experts. They are very confident in their academic level, believing that the research cannot be wrong, and feeling that these people are humans, experimenters who were innocently locked up."

"The key problem of the prison break also lies here. A scientist secretly left his credentials in the place where they were held, which allowed them to pass the security verification. We caught that scientist, and he turned around and accused us, saying that we were persecuting ordinary people for political achievements."

Clark covered his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. If things were really as he said, then it would be a bit troublesome.

This scientist might really have been out of good intentions, helping them break out of prison, just like those doctors helped himself back then. And Clark couldn't blame him, because the fact now is that after checking for so long, no abnormalities could be found. If they weren't human, then current medical biology and physics could be overturned. Scientists can't accept that.

What's more troublesome is that once they go out and announce their research results, it will also cause public suspicion. After all, these scientists are leaders in their respective fields, and their conclusions are very credible.

"Damn it," Clark sat back in his chair. He had always felt that telling such a big lie would eventually be exposed. He didn't know what Batman was thinking, daring to play this game. Does he really think there are no walls without cracks in the world?

The so-called telling one lie requires a thousand lies to round it off. Now it's clearly a bit impossible to round off. If he had known, he wouldn't have treated them as Martians in the first place.

Clark looked up at the official and said, "Do you know where they ran to?"

"The police and state troopers are chasing them. Some traces have been found; they should still be coming to Metropolis." He thought for a moment and added, "We will set up checkpoints on the road and won't let them attack the capital."

Clark's hand paused. The things they discussed just now suddenly flashed in his mind, especially what Lex said; if it were him, he would let these people all be exposed, which would be the safest.

Imagine, now the spiritual leader of humanity, the President of the United States, and the central figure of the Justice League, is lying in bed in critical condition. Just one more hit, and he will definitely go on a date with Death.

More importantly, once Superman dies and is resurrected, he will become a very powerful weapon; the entire Justice League will not be his opponent; the only one who can deal with him is Batman, and the two of them might also end up in a mutual destruction.

In other words, as long as Superman dies, the mastermind's plan in this universe can be considered a success. If you were the mastermind's subordinate, what would you do?

Clark completely understood; Schiller's plan was to make them completely crazy.
