The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 456 The Beginning of the Confrontation (Part 2)

In the guest room of the mayor's mansion, Bruce, Lex and Clark were still thinking about the dream.

Their views on certain things in this dream cannot be said to be exactly the same, they can only be said to be very different. As for the disagreement, they cannot be said to seek common ground while reserving differences, but can only be said to be fighting.

Even if they are guilty, you cannot destroy them in that way. It is unreasonable and inhumane! Clark said to Bruce in a very loud voice.

I'm just deciphering the dream. Bruce said very calmly.

But aren't you afraid that it's not a dream? When you used that black wave to hit the crowd, you never thought about what you would do if it were true? Can you resurrect those dead people?

Clark, is your mind abnormal? Lex suddenly spoke up, and his voice was very cold. He said: That group of people unanimously voted to kill you on the premise that you saved them. You actually want to stop Bruce from killing them, are you crazy?

I didn't want to kill them, I don't kill people. Bruce refuted Lex again. He said: I am very sure that it was indeed a dream. Brutal cracking is the fastest way, otherwise we will all Trapped in there.”

A lot of confidence? Clark snorted coldly and said, You dare to do such a thing without complete confidence, and you actually have the nerve to say that you are a non-killer?

Because his brain works faster than yours. Lex turned to Clark again and said mercilessly: What started the whole thing? You didn't just knock me out without thinking or investigating. ?”

Clark suddenly fell silent, then he looked into Lex's eyes and said, Only on this point, you are right. The beginning of all this did come from my recklessness.

He tilted his head to one side and said in a low tone: If someone really dies because of this incident, then I bear an unshirkable responsibility.

But his apology made Lex collapse. He said, You are really crazy, Clark, you...

He stared at Clark with his eyes, as if he couldn't figure out how he developed such a Virgin mentality.

Lex took a deep breath, and then said to Clark: I take back my previous inference. You are not tolerant because you are strong enough. You are simply mentally ill.

How could you say that to me? Even if I was a little reckless before, you can't attack me personally! Clark said with his hands on his hips and looking at Lex.

Your physical fitness is very problematic. Bruce pointedly pointed out the part where Lex was most guilty. He said: Even if Clark knocked you unconscious at first, if you stayed awake in the end, you could completely confuse those people, and then Rigging the vote.”

Of course I can. Lex crossed his arms and said disdainfully: Faced with such a group of stupid people, it's easy to control their minds.

You can't just control people's thoughts! Lex, your thoughts are very dangerous! Clark said again.

Lex was so pissed off that he was on oxygen.

Simply put, these three people can be said to be completely different in various aspects.

If divided according to camp, Bruce and Clark both belong to the hero camp. They want to protect ordinary people, while Lex does not care about the life and death of ordinary people at all.

But in terms of means, Bruce and Lex are the same type of people. They pursue results more and believe that appropriate control and monitoring are necessary, but Clark feels that procedural justice is essential.

Geographically speaking, Clark and Lex are on the same side again. They are both from Metropolis, and they unanimously believe that all the people in Gotham are crazy.

In this extremely complex triangular relationship, it is normal to be unable to reach consensus.

While the three of them were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the door of the guest room. Clark narrowed his eyes and said, A man with a bandage on his head, but I don't recognize him.

Bruce and Lex looked at each other. At this time, Clark had already walked up to open the door.

After the door opened, Benjamin appeared outside with his head wrapped in gauze. He had been knocked unconscious by Lex and Schiller before, and then was interrogated by Bruce. When he woke up, his face was very haggard.

Hello, do you need any help? Clark asked with great concern, but Benjamin didn't even look at him, he just focused his eyes on the other two people in the room.

Bruce stepped aside slightly, and Benjamin walked in. Benjamin looked at Bruce first and said, Mr. Wayne, you really surprised me...

Then, he turned to look at Lex and said, Mr. Luther, the same goes for you.

I don't understand. Why on earth do you rich second-generation people play such a trick? Isn't it fun to pretend to be playboys and autistic?

Neither Bruce nor Lex spoke. Their postures were very similar, with their arms folded, and they looked at Benjamin with an X-ray look.

Perhaps smart people always have very similar qualities. When their eyes fall on others, they always make that person feel that something has been seen through them.

Benjamin could not withstand such pressure. He could only speak first: I need your help. I must find the mysterious Soviet spy.

Just when Bruce was about to refuse, Benjamin said: I am very sure that among the attendees of the banquet, someone has contact with the Soviet spy who took Philby's list.

Why are you sure?

It's confidential.

As soon as Benjamin finished saying this, he saw Bruce and Lex's expressions change, so he quickly explained: The details are indeed confidential, but the general summary is that this agent should have a relatively high social status. .”

Maybe you should have heard Philby's story on the radio. During the period when he was under investigation, all his activities were closely monitored. At this time, the level of people he could come into contact with could not be too low.

Don't you have a specific list of people he had contact with?

If the UK could really issue this list, Philby would not be allowed to escape back to Moscow.

Benjamin's explanation is very reasonable, and Bruce and Lex have no room to refute, because it is a very simple and easy-to-understand truth. As long as the British intelligence agency has some ability, Philby will not be allowed to escape unscathed.

In fact, the impact Philby had on Britain's reputation was far greater than the damage caused by the leakage of intelligence. Anyway, Britain had no important intelligence to leak.

Let me be more clear. It's not that the UK didn't know that the people Philby came into contact with during that period may be suspects, but the problem is that he only came into contact with high-level people during that period, and no one dared to investigate. High-level.”

There is another question. Lex then asked: Since this person dared to pass information to Philby during that time, why did he not successfully pass the information back to Moscow? Instead, he came to the east coast of the United States?

Benjamin shook his head and said: We have no relevant clues. This is exactly what I want to investigate.

What are you doing here? Bruce asked.

I hope to get your help. Benjamin sighed and continued: Before, you fought with the agents in the corridor. The gunfire was very loud and caused great panic. Many people would rather conflict with the agents than I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

If we focus on quelling panic, there will be no more time to investigate clues about spies.

So, you want us to be the villains and persuade those people to stay here so you can investigate them? Lex said sharply.

This can only be said to be cooperation. After all, neither the Luther Group in Metropolis nor the Wayne Group in Gotham would want a dangerous Soviet spy to be active in your hometown, right?

If you let him move around, there may be more serious consequences. If you interact with him without knowing it, you may also be suspected.

You don't have to threaten us. Lex said in a cold voice: The Luther Group provides hundreds of thousands of jobs in the metropolitan area alone.

If the controllers of the Luther Group are suspected of collaborating with the Communist Party, stocks will fall sharply, and the consequence of industrial contraction will be a wave of unemployment, followed by a financial crisis.

Once Wayne and I are eliminated by you, all entrepreneurs will be in danger, and the economic crisis will come early. Congress will not allow you to do this.

Benjamin felt that he had difficulty breathing. Originally, he shouldn't have used up so much mental energy after being injured, but the problem now was that even though he had used up his mental energy, he couldn't defeat the two people in front of him.

Without the CIA, we can still detect spies. In other words, after you let us out, it will be easier for us to do our best. The Luther Group's industries are all over the metropolis, and it is easy to check the whereabouts. The Wayne Group has no control over Brother. The same goes for Tan Lai.

Lex continued to analyze the matter, but Benjamin came up with another condition. He said: You should know something about the underground treasures in Metropolis. Now that the CIA has learned this information, you cannot take it. Take away all the treasure, and the military is waiting to feed it.

If you are willing to help me, I can stand by your side when deciding the share in the future. If this work goes well, the power of the CIA and the FBI, two agencies in charge of internal and external affairs, will return to its peak, which is enough. Something has been decided.”

When they heard the word treasure, Lex, Bruce, and Clark looked at each other, and they thought of the things they saw in their dreams.

They have no evidence to prove that the dream created by Schiller must be based on reality, so they cannot be sure whether the thing buried under the metropolis is really a huge piece of kryptonite.

But they have reason to believe that Schiller weaved such a dream after investigating certain things. In other words, the treasure underground in Metropolis is likely to be kryptonite.

After knowing this, to a certain extent, the interests and goals of the three of them were consistent.

Lex and Bruce are both skeptics. They cannot fully accept Clark and his powerful superpowers. They hope to have something to counter him, so both of them hope to get kryptonite.

As for Clark, he doesn't care if someone wants to use this thing to counter him. What he cares more about is whether this stone can really cause ordinary people to get cancer like in the dream. He hopes to transfer these things and not Bury here again.

But they also all know that it is not easy to find and move this thing. If its size is really as big as in the dream, excavation will require manpower, and it will definitely alarm all parties.

Lex and Bruce gave their answers almost at the same time, and Bruce said: We can help you, but we have a request.

Lex continued: We don't trust the efficiency of you and your group of agents, so our division of labor needs to be changed.

Change it? What do you mean?

You go and appease those people, and we'll investigate the Soviet spies.

I could write 100,000 words about the quarrel between these three people.

When they are scattered, they are full of stars; when they gather, they are full of stars that will make a dog’s brains wander.
