The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 3049 Mercury Notes (Thirty-Five)

The fact that this incident ended so peacefully was not because the other party was not good enough, but because this was just an appetizer. The other party would use countless such tiny water ripples to push up a huge wave until everyone was buried in the sea.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after the murder, the terminal of the Mercury base received an alarm from the detector that an alien spaceship was approaching Mercury quickly.

The base terminal did not receive any communication sent by the spaceship, nor could it identify the identity code of this spaceship, so it sent a defense drone to stop the spaceship outside the safety line and did not let it approach Mercury.

Clark went to check the situation, and the spaceship exploded. Although he was not hurt at all, he was still scared.

Now the humans in the DC universe have not developed to the interstellar era, which means that they have no space defense means, and they all rely on the safety measures of the Mercury base. Assuming that the defense drone did not stop the spaceship and let it rush directly to Mercury and explode, it is very likely to cause great casualties.

This incident almost alarmed all the senior executives in the base, so the professor team, which had just been disbanded for less than half an hour, gathered again.

The drones sent back the images they had taken. It was obvious that the spacecraft was not a product of the solar system. The words engraved on the fragments after the explosion were also unfamiliar. For a moment, no one knew where the spacecraft came from.

Fortunately, the Justice League in this universe had sufficient interstellar intelligence support. They sent all the videos to Green Lantern Hal, who was working at the Green Lantern headquarters.

Hal quickly recognized that the information code on this spacecraft came from the planet Exo in sector 1601. It was a civilian spacecraft. The code had been invalid for a long time and the specific identity could not be identified for the time being.

The name Exo sounded strange, but when this name appeared in Hal's mouth, everyone was silent, because the Wonder Twins came from the planet Exo.

The civilization of this planet is highly similar to the earth. Not everyone uses superpowers. Although their physical fitness is many times better than that of humans, the Wonder Twins with superpowers are also outliers among them.

Many years ago, a plague killed many residents on the planet Exo and caused the parents of the Wonder Twins to die. The two wandered to the circus, and the sister used her ability to transform into animals to work for the circus owner.

Later, the two sides broke up, and the brother and sister stole the circus's spaceship and came to Earth.

Clark saw the spaceship up close, and he was sure that there were actually no weapons on the spaceship. It didn't look like the kind of space weapon used for combat, and it was even a little shabby. If it weren't for the huge explosion at the end, Clark would have thought it was some space junk.

Several professors had to call the Wonder Twins over again. Zan and Jenna were completely stunned when they saw the fragments.

This is indeed the spaceship they stole, but according to them, the spaceship was hidden deep in the Rocky Mountains a long time ago, and when they first arrived on Earth, the spaceship was in poor condition, and by the time they basically adapted to life on Earth, the old spaceship could no longer be started.

After the drone dragged all the spaceship fragments back, Bruce checked it and combined with the analysis of the smart housekeeper, confirmed that what the brother and sister said was true. The spaceship was so old that only a shell was left, and it was very difficult to fly out of the Earth's atmosphere.

Moreover, out of caution, sister Jenna directly dismantled the engine of the spacecraft and completely destroyed it. This was the only part of the spacecraft that could explode. Without the engine, all that was left was iron sheet. It was impossible to explode no matter how you looked at it, so the explosion was very strange.

The professors watched the video of the explosion in the room for a long time, and finally Bruce came to a conclusion that the explosion must not be caused by some kind of machine, and the flow of energy was too strange.

He sent the video back to Earth, and several professors from the Gotham School of Magic watched it. Mrs. Shangdu affirmed his point of view and said: "I can be sure that the energy flow at the source of the explosion is closer to magic. Someone compressed a large mass of magic energy and charged it into something, causing it to lose control and explode at a specified time, similar to the creation of a failed artifact. This is a man-made magic experiment accident."

Diana also sent the video to Vulcan, and the other party gave the same statement that it was a magic accident.

But the more troublesome thing is that before the brother and sister came to Earth on the spaceship, they modified the spaceship, which was already very old at the time, otherwise this thing would not be able to fly to Earth.

The spacecraft retained some traces of their modification. Now that it was completely blown up, it was difficult to explain why these traces were modified. It was said that it was to allow it to take off again. Fortunately, it was not impossible for it to explode on Mercury.

"Don't block the news." Schiller said immediately.

Everyone looked at him, because this was an unintuitive answer. After all, the exploded spacecraft was stopped outside the safety line and no one suffered losses. In fact, it was completely possible not to let the students know.

But they soon realized that if someone was making trouble, even if they blocked the news, someone would spread the news among the student group.

The so-called official denial must be true. The fact that the professors united to block the news itself was easy to arouse students' disgust. If they knew that the spacecraft came from the magical twin brothers and sisters, combined with the role played by the brother in the teacher's murder case, it would inevitably make people think too much.

As expected, it was a series of interlocking schemes, the purpose of which was to arouse suspicion among the students. Suspicion was like a virus, which would eventually lead to the outbreak of panic.

"What do you think we should do, Professor?" Diana asked immediately.

"The other party is obviously from the magic side, and we don't have enough manpower on the magic side. Find a way to call Zatanna and Madam Xanadu over. I will also call one of my friends over."

Diana nodded and went to make a call. The friend Schiller wanted to call was Brand. The school hospital happened to be short of a psychiatrist, and the salary of working on Mercury was much higher than that of Arkham Asylum. , Naiya’s human body also needs to eat.

"How to calm public opinion among students?" Schiller looked at Clark and asked, "This is the reporter's job."

Clark thought for a moment and realized that the few bad things in this kind and powerful superhero's belly were basically used as a reporter. He immediately said.

"Before the other party makes this a big deal, it must be Zan and Jenna who make the big deal."

He looked at Jenna and said, "When you go back later, you will start crying along the way, saying that your spaceship flew here and exploded for some reason, and you can never go home again."

Jenna's eyes widened and she said, "We had no way of flying this broken spaceship home. It would be complete suicide!"

"Does anyone else know?"

The brother and sister looked at each other and shook their heads. In fact, they had forgotten about this old spaceship a long time ago, so they never mentioned it to anyone.

"Then just pretend it has never been broken." Clark said firmly: "Not only has it not been broken, but it is also very advanced, surpassing the level of human science and technology by several orders of magnitude. It includes all the words you can imagine to improve the level of science and technology. When it comes to it, you should also emphasize that it has cost you all your money, and now that it is broken, you have suffered a heavy loss. "

Jenna immediately understood that they had to portray themselves as victims before the mastermind could portray them as malicious perpetrators, emphasizing that they had no motive to use their ship as a bomb.

Naturally, the better and more expensive the spaceship is, the smaller the incentive will be.

"No." Jenna asked another question, "We are not the only aliens among the student body. Some aliens know the background of Planet Axl and will not believe what we say."

"He knows the planet Axl from the past, not the present."

"But there aren't many now..."

"It's not that advanced now, but don't forget who has the right to speak in interstellar public opinion."

Jenna was even more confused. She looked at Clark and said, "You don't want to say it's the Earth, do you?"

"Of course not, it's the Green Lantern Corps." Clark said while typing a message to Hal on his mobile phone: "We should cooperate internally and externally and let Hal modify the history of the planet Axl that the Green Lantern Corps had recorded at the terminal at the Green Lantern headquarters. ”

"I will write a few more news about the launch of spaceships across the ages, and insert them into their history of technological research and development. The time of purchasing the spacecraft will be around the same time as yours, and I will naturally be able to confirm your statement."

"The aliens who come here will not hold high positions on their own planet. It is difficult to find deeper information, and there is no way to expose you."

"You are actually able to control the Green Lantern Corps." Zan sighed: "The Justice League is indeed a very powerful organization."

Next, the work began to be arranged. Clark took Oliver to write the news, Diana went to pick up the reinforcements from the magic side, Bruce stayed at the headquarters to monitor the unexpected situation, and Arthur took the two brothers and sisters to spread the news.

Other professors went to class step by step. The more crisis there is, the more order should be maintained, so as to dispel the panic atmosphere to the greatest extent.

As for Schiller, no one assigned him any work, because everyone knew that the professor who had been interrupted would not give up and he was the one responsible for fighting back.

Schiller called Brand first. He was originally reluctant to come, but when he saw the string of zeros after the salary, he immediately said that there was no psychiatrist in the world who was more suitable for working outside the world than him.

Brand arrived quickly, in a flash to be exact. When he arrived, Schiele was writing and drawing, as if sorting out the sequence of events.

Brand leaned over and took a look at Schiller's notes, and he discovered that the starting point of the Mercury incident Schiller wrote was not the security check, nor the classroom murders, but the Scarecrow serial murders.

This case has been going on for some time now, and from the murderer to the victim, it seems that they have nothing to do with Mercury. The only presence is that it appears in Bruce's lesson plans.

But there is another case next to this case, and that is the Nygma serial murder case.

Comparing the two cases, in addition to having three victims, there is another key point of overlap, and that is the totemic nature of the crime scene.

In the Scarecrow murder case, the scarecrow standing on the flat ground is itself a kind of totem, and in the Nygma serial murder case, the murderer in the last case made a totem out of the corpse.

The two victims were actually in a similar state. They were both impaled on wooden stakes and stood on a flat ground, showing the most conspicuous raised state on the earth. The origin is traced back to totems.

In fact, totem corpses are not uncommon in serial murder cases. The vertical totem is a more primitive form of reproductive worship that demonstrates male power and is a form that many serial killers like to use.

But the problem is that the suspected murderers in these two cases do not look like people who would use this form.
