In the office at Mercury Base, the debate continued, and Oliver and Bruce had serious differences.
"No, Oliver, we don't have enough evidence. Just based on the clues we know now, we can't prove that Miss Cain is the murderer." Bruce said with his hands on his hips.
"I didn't say that she must be the murderer, but I think in this case, it is better to restrain her first. In this way, if there is another attack later, her suspicion can be eliminated. Isn't it a good thing?
?”
"Since we cannot prove that she is the murderer, we have no right to imprison her!"
"This is not a prison sentence." Oliver was still trying to convince Bruce. He said: "We just let her stay in a place with better surveillance to help her eliminate suspicion..."
"I don't agree with this either." Clark said: "Kassandra is too young, and such suspicion may cause a psychological shadow on her. Besides, if we don't let her go for a long time, other students will also know what happened.
No matter what, how will she get along with them in the future?"
Oliver looked a little helpless and continued to persuade. Bruce and Clark firmly disagreed, while Cassandra seemed to be unable to speak and listened quietly from the side without expressing her own opinions at all.
Jenna is also helping Cassandra argue, and Oliver is currently alone until Diana joins the battlefield.
"I have to say that Miss Cain is indeed the most suspected person at present, but the evidence is indeed not enough to prove that she is the murderer. Then we might as well find an excuse to send her back to Earth, and tell the students that she has something to do when she returns to Earth.
If she is wrongly accused, she will not be resented."
After she said this, the room became quiet.
Bruce asked a crucial question, "Then who will send her back?"
There was still silence in the room, and Diana had no choice but to speak again: "I can't go back. Oliver is an ordinary person and may be in danger. Clark wants to stay on Mercury, so I'm afraid Bruce can only make a trip..."
"I'll go." Jenna stretched out her hand and volunteered: "I can also protect Cassandra and prevent anyone from attacking her."
"You have to be careful yourself." Diana said to her: "Now is a troubled time. Come back as soon as you have settled Miss Cain."
Jenna nodded vigorously, pulled her brother and Cassandra and walked out of the office. As soon as she left, she let out a sigh of relief.
They ran to the portal in one breath, and Zan grabbed his sister and said, "What the hell are you doing? You've been acting a bit wrong since just now. You winked at Lilith, and now you agree to let Cassandra go to Earth. This
Not like you."
"We two have telepathy, can't you sense what I'm thinking?"
"Under normal circumstances, I can only sense general emotions, but I do feel that you are not as anxious as before. What exactly happened?"
Zan was about to walk to the portal, but Jenna stopped him. Zan said with some doubts, "What's wrong? Didn't I say I wanted to send Cassandra to Earth? Let's go quickly."
"Don't worry." Jenna smiled and said.
At this time, Zan turned around and saw Cassandra looking around, lowering her head and groping the surface of the table with her hands, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
During the time spent with Cassandra, they have discovered that although this Asian girl is taciturn and does not seem to have any mood swings, she is actually very thoughtful and can always notice small details that others cannot.
Just as Zan was about to say something, the portal flashed and a person walked out.
Barry said to the three of them: "You are the only one left, come with me."
Zan looked confused and didn't know what to do, but Jenna followed Barry's pace, and Cassandra followed closely, so Zan had no choice but to follow them through the portal.
With a flash of light, we arrived at a familiar yet unfamiliar world. It was not the Earth teleportation station that this teleportation gate was supposed to lead to, but a place that was exactly the same as the Mercury teleportation hall.
What's going on? Zan looked confused and looked around. Did they pass through the portal or not? Why didn't they seem to move anywhere?
Under the leadership of Barry, they walked towards the outside of the portal hall. In the corridor, Zan saw all kinds of students, so they really didn't teleport at all, right?
Zan was not stupid, he suddenly realized, why didn't he see so many students on the way from the office to the teleportation hall?
He recalled the situation at that time. The entire Mercury base was eerily quiet, as if everyone disappeared in an instant. It would not be unreasonable to say that the students were hiding because they were afraid of being attacked, but Zan always felt that this was not the case.
Simple.
The three of them were taken all the way to a classroom, where they saw several acquaintances, including Bonu, Blue Beetle Ted, Golden Pioneer, and several classmates who had been attacked before.
This time Zhan was even more confused. Is this going to hold a victims' association?
Jenna smiled and finally told her brother the truth. She said: "There is a mole in the Justice League."
"What?!"
"When I empathize with Bruce, I can feel that he has known this for a long time and was not completely unprepared. What we had to do at that time was to help him buy time."
Zan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he said: "That's why you winked at Lilith, hinting that she could read your mind, so you can tell her your guess."
"Yes, it turns out that my guess was right. Lilith must have read Bruce's mind and knew their plan, so she wanted this and that, pretending to be crazy and delaying time."
Zan nodded. Lilith's way of stalling time was very unique, but very effective. Each thing she wanted had to wait a long time to be delivered. A dance master's performance would take at least two hours, and a complete scene would be completed.
It took a whole night.
"But why are they stalling for time?" Zan asked, and others gathered around, especially Blue Beetle Ted. Blue Beetle obviously knew something, but didn't tell him, and he was extremely curious now.
"The purpose of delaying time is to catch the mole. Obviously, if you take action the moment you know it, you will inevitably be unprepared. Although I think they will not be injured, don't forget that there are so many students in the Mercury Base.
."
Ted pushed aside the others, stepped forward and said, "Since we have to transfer students, hurry up. What are you waiting for now?"
Others also agreed. In their opinion, if Ye Changmengduo wants to move, he should gather and move as soon as possible instead of continuing to carry out normal teaching activities here.
Jenna smiled and said, "The transfer has been completed a long time ago."
"ah???"
Others were puzzled, but Jenna smiled and said, "If you look carefully at the sun outside the window, don't you think there's anything wrong?"
After hearing her words, everyone else turned to look out the window. The mysterious patterns on the sun were still rotating and flashing, looking no different from usual.
Because Mercury is too close to the sun, most of the field of view is blocked by the sun, and it is basically difficult to see the situation in other places in the solar system. However, the patterns of the sun look similar, and no one sees anything unusual.
"Bonu, your water control spell is very powerful, how about you take us out and have a look?" Jenna looked at the Atlantis girl.
Bonu was also very curious, thinking that since he had died once, since there was a way to be resurrected, nothing he did was dangerous, so he might as well go out and have a look.
So she controlled the water flow to cover the bodies of several people, allowing them to survive in space, while Blue Beetle teleported them together through the glass.
As they gradually left the Mercury base, several people were shocked, because at this time, the eight major planets in the solar system suddenly turned into nine major planets.
"Don't get me wrong, it's not that the one who was kicked out is back, but there is an extra Mercury."
Now there are two planets in the orbit of Mercury, both of which are slowly rotating around the sun. And judging from the few people's knowledge of cosmic science, the position of the distant Mercury is correct.
There are too many mercury stars.
Everyone was stunned.
And if we take a closer look, both Mercurys have been modified and both have Mercury bases. From the appearance, there is simply no difference. It’s just that the two of them are facing each other diagonally in the orbit. If they don’t fly far enough,
If you are high, you can't see any flaws.
"So what's going on?" Ted asked, "How did an extra Mercury appear out of thin air?"
But Bonu already understood something. She said: "I understand. When I was washing my hands before, I noticed that there were some abnormal subtle tremors in the water flow in the base. At that time, I thought it was the Mercury base that started some machine. The machine's
The relatively large power caused the overall vibration to be felt. Now it seems that the planet may be changing its orbit."
"Planet changes orbit?"
"That's right. Do you think a super base that is so big that it almost empties the entire planet Mercury cannot be moved?"
Ted's mouth opened wide. This was obviously beyond his understanding. He said: "You mean, the Mercury base ran away with Mercury?!"
"The Mercury base is Mercury." Jenna said: "Don't be so surprised. Wasn't this done by you humans?"
"But...but...this shouldn't be caused by humans." Ted stammered: "Humans' cars haven't even started to fly yet, so how could they get away with Mercury?"
"It is true that this thing was developed by humans, because all the equipment inside is obviously suitable for humans, but it may not be this group of humans." Blue Beetle spoke, and it said: "There is one standing in front of you now.
What else will be impossible for people in the future?"
The Golden Pioneer nodded and said: "It is true that human technology will be very advanced in the future, but at that time I had not heard of any star warships. This kind of equipment may come from a more distant future."
"I already understand this part." Zan nodded and said: "A base equipment that occupies 80% of the mass of Mercury secretly moved its position and allowed the Mercury where the students are to come here, but the fake
What happened to Mercury? Why did they move Mercury away first and then create a fake one?"
"Of course it is to confuse the mole." Jenna said: "The mole is not stupid either. He knows how much the Justice League values the students. As long as he stays inside the base, he will feel that the Justice League does not dare to attack him easily, because
This could very well endanger students."
"And as long as he is still inside the base, he can take hostages at any time and use them to negotiate with the Justice League. There will always be a way out. Just to give him such an illusion, the Justice League first let the real Mercury leave and then created a new one.
It's fake, so that the mole will mistakenly think that the current situation is still beneficial to him, so he won't escape easily."
"So that's it." Ted also completely understood. He said: "In order to stabilize the mole, we must adopt this method of subverting the beam and changing the pillars. But once we stabilize it, doesn't it mean that we have to fight in the end? Mercury is far from the sun.
Being so close, if the sun is endangered, not to mention the students, the earth will also have to play with it."
"I don't know about that." Jenna shook her head and said, "But don't you think it's a little strange? Humans in this era can't build a Mercury base at all, so where did this fake Mercury base come from? Moreover,
To be able to recover exactly the same as the real thing in such a short period of time, there is obviously something fishy, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, in everyone's shocked eyes, the fake Mercury in the correct position turned green.
