"Brother." The black-haired Latina girl wanted to stop the figure walking in front. She took two quick steps and walked through the dark passage to approach her dear brother.
But her brother did not stop and wait for her as usual. Instead, he slowed down and stood silently, lowering his head slightly.
"I sensed that you were in danger." Jenna said in a crying voice: "For a moment, I even thought you were dead. Are you..."
"Dear Jenna." The slightly deep young voice echoed in the silent corridor. Jenna heard her brother say: "Don't ask a question you already know the answer to. We have always been so in tune, haven't we?"
The tears finally flowed down, and the petite girl squatted on the ground, sobbing, and then she heard her brother say again.
"Now is not the time to cry. Let's wait until the trial is over and the guillotine is placed on my neck."
"No! No!" Jenna shouted like crazy: "You can't die! You can't... you can't leave me alone! We clearly agreed to be together forever!"
Jenna finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up, rushed up and hugged Zan from behind. She cried and said: "We have never been separated since we left home. You said you were going on patrol, so I was a little worried. I should have stopped you then!"
Schiller, who controlled Zan's body, turned around, hugged Jenna into his arms, and gently stroked her head and back.
Jenna couldn't feel any of his body temperature, as if she was hugging a stone, but such gentle movements made her feel warmer than the temperature of his blood.
"I won't let them kill you." Jenna said: "Even if you become a vampire, you are still my brother, and you didn't do anything, right? They can't judge you!"
"Don't say that, Jenna, have you forgotten what vow you made when you joined the Justice League?"
But Jenna pushed her brother away and gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I said I would dedicate my life to a just cause, but they didn't even give us this chance and will always treat us like children and errands!"
Jenna had tears in her eyes, and many emotions burst out at once. She looked at her eyes and said with praise: "No one respects us here, because they think we are helpless and only do it for the resources and equipment here." Those who want to join are freeloaders!"
Schiller frowned and said: "No, Jenna, don't say that, they think we are young, that's why..."
"Age? Come on, we are aliens, how can we talk about age with earthlings?! And, is Superman very old? What about Green Lantern? Didn't Batman become a superhero in his early 20s?"
Jenna wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said: "You used to comfort me like this, but don't try to fool me now, especially that Green Lantern. He debugged the security system by himself for half an hour, but then sent you out to patrol. If If it weren't for him, you wouldn't..."
She pursed her lips tightly, then couldn't help biting her lower lip and said: "What have we done here? Bring them tea and water, run errands and pick up things, do insignificant tasks, and now we have to harm them."
You...no matter what they want to do to you, I will never agree to it!"
She took two more steps forward, stared at Zan, and said, "You don't want to surrender, do you? Are you crazy? They are very angry now, especially Hal. Maybe they will want to execute you.
!”
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Schiller shook his head, seeming to have resigned himself to his fate. He said: "Someone in the headquarters has been attacked, and they will definitely investigate one by one. I don't think I can hide it from them. Once I am locked as a
Murderer, I'm afraid my death is coming."
"But it wasn't you at all. You have an alibi!"
"Do you think they still care about evidence now?"
Jenna took a deep breath and said, "That's not okay, you can't surrender, and you can't admit things you haven't done. You taught me this before."
Schiller turned around and wanted to leave, but Jenna took his arm and said, "You can't give up hope. We can hide it as long as we can. If you really want to suck blood...you can suck mine."
Schiller shook his head and said: "I won't hurt you, Jenna, but you are right about one thing. If it hadn't been for this patrol, I would not have been assassinated."
Jenna's brows frowned for a moment, because she heard the hint in her brother's tone, and she said hesitantly: "Did you encounter an ambush? This is probably not a coincidence."
"About 20 minutes ago, someone sounded the emergency alarm. Superman said on the radio that someone had been attacked and asked us to rush there immediately, but he quickly said not to go out for the time being, especially not to be alone."
"I felt restless while waiting in the room, so I wanted to call you to remind you, but I left the phone in another room, and Superman didn't allow us to go out."
"If it hadn't been delayed by the attack, maybe I could have reminded you so that you wouldn't have been bitten. The time of the attack was too coincidental. Could it be that someone had already known about your accident and was here
Are you going to make some noise to delay us?"
Schiller looked a little frustrated and said: "It's useless to talk about it now."
"No!" Jenna walked around in front of him again, stopped him and said: "This proves that there is another vampire in the headquarters. Otherwise, he would not be able to attack at the precise time. As long as we find him, the others will
People won’t care about you anymore!”
Schiller praised "smart girl" in his heart, but still said hesitantly: "But how can we find him out? He disguises himself so well..."
"The weakness of vampires is obvious. Maybe they can use sunlight and holy weapons..."
Schiller then shook his head and said, "Can you believe it? I'm not afraid of sunlight or sacred objects either."
Jenna was obviously surprised. She looked around Schiller twice and said, "How is this possible? Aren't vampires afraid of sunlight and sacred objects?"
"There is a special power in my body." Schiller adopted Doctor Strange's statement. He explained: "It seems to be given to me by the person who transformed me. This makes me not afraid of the things that vampires are afraid of."
"Then no one can prove that you are a vampire?" Jenna's eyes widened, but then she fell into a daze, and then said: "If you can live in the sun and are not afraid of the cross, then you are the same as before.
What's the difference?"
"I can only survive by drinking blood."
"Oh, yes!" Jenna said with sudden realization: "Even if vampires are not afraid of sunlight and crosses, their desire for blood cannot be concealed. Maybe we can take advantage of this..."
Schiller shook his head again and said, "If I were really that thirsty for blood, I would have definitely bitten you just now."
Jenna was confused again. She thought about it carefully, and then speculated: "A person who has just eaten will not be hungry. People will only show their desire for food when they are very hungry, that is to say
If you want that vampire to reveal his secret, you have to make him hungry."
After saying that, she looked at her brother and said, "Are you hungry now?"
Schiller shook his head, and Jenna calculated that if her brother was attacked during patrol, it might not have been an hour by now, and it would be normal not to be hungry.
But it is impossible for him to be hungry forever. The metabolism of vampires should not be slower than that of humans. If they only suck blood once every few decades, then they are basically no threat to humans. You can donate blood to them voluntarily.
The reason why the conflict between humans and vampires is so acute is because vampires eat too much, and tigers have to worry about one meal for three days. They eat three meals a day by themselves, and no other race can afford it. This leads to
The conflict between humans and vampires is irreconcilable.
After figuring this out, Jenna recalled the previous attack. Although she hadn't gone to the conference room yet and didn't know the specific circumstances of the attack, Jenna guessed that the attack occurred because the vampire hidden in the headquarters was hungry?
Then Jenna thought that using the vampire's appetite to force him to reveal his secret was a good plan, but there was basically no possibility of him executing it because he couldn't keep everyone together, and no one in the Justice League would listen to him.
It's no good to go to Superman and Wonder Woman. They don't have absolute say, and they can easily be led by others.
Suddenly a name flashed in Jenna's mind.
"I know!" Jenna said, raising her voice: "I will call Batman, tell him the plan and invite him over. The reason is also ready. The Justice League headquarters has been attacked. As the leader, Bat
How could Xia not come?"
Schiller couldn't help but admire in his heart, this was indeed a smart and astute girl, but she was still somewhat lacking in recognizing people.
So he pretended to talk casually and said, "Batman must be here if such a big thing happens. If you call him, you might not be heard. You might as well send a message."
Jenna suddenly understood, immediately jumped up, hung on Schiller, and said happily: "Yes, you should send him a message. Batman is so smart, he must understand it at a glance."
"He can find a reason to lock everyone in the conference room for dozens of hours. Then the two of us will take the opportunity to go to the toilet and let you drink my blood so that you won't be hungry. That guy is not like me.
As an ally, if he accidentally causes a bloody accident, he will definitely become red-eyed!"
Jenna immediately took out her mobile phone and started editing the message. Schiller leaned over and took a look, and then he realized that this girl was smarter than he thought. The message she sent to Batman was in plain language, but she never mentioned what she wanted.
What's the plan?
She just told Batman a possibility, that is, this attack may be because the vampire is hungry and there is no blood for him to suck in the entire headquarters, so he goes crazy and attacks people.
In fact, this guess is a bit too naive, because neither of them knows the specific circumstances of the attack. It is also possible that the person who was attacked was not bitten, or that the other person had a premeditated plan at first glance, rather than a crime of passion.
But Jenna has made good use of one of her advantages, that is, she is young and is of the same age group as Robin, and can be regarded as the junior of other heroes in the Justice League, so even if she does some childish and unreliable things
Guessing will only be regarded as immature.
In particular, Batman is very tolerant of teenagers of this age. Maybe at first glance, this guess is a bit too simple, but when I think about it, it was the younger sister of the magical twins who made the guess, and then I think about her and her own Robin.
They are about the same age, so I won't find it strange.
And Batman is very smart. He may have already thought about the problem of vampire food. He just lacked a layer of window paper that could not be pierced, or in other words, he needed someone to explain this matter openly. Jenna gave it to him.
He has a good reason.
Batman, who was standing in the Justice League conference room, put away the communicator in his hand, cleared his throat and said.
"I think we really should have a good discussion about the traitors within the Justice League."
