The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 460 The Steward Is Always Right (Part 1)

Just as Benjamin summoned the agents of the entire manor to search the entrance on the first floor, the atmosphere in front of the entrance became more anxious.

Just after Schiller said that the underground treasure may be a special mineral that can weaken superpowers, Bruce and Lex stood on opposite sides.

These two skeptics will never believe that the other party will not use this thing indiscriminately. At the same time, they are also controlists, regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with me, whether I want to use this thing in the future, I You have to get it to completely control it in order to feel a sense of security.

Moreover, they are all very typical Americans. Zero-sum thinking has almost been engraved in their genes, and peace and win-win do not exist in their brains. They always feel that as long as the other party takes more, they will lose one. You will be killed by the opponent.

This sense of insecurity that exists all the time has been urging them to move forward, but at the same time, it can easily become a weakness that is exploited by others. The moment Schiller said this, the two brilliant geniuses even There is no doubt that this is Schiller's divorce.

In other words, they may have thought about this issue, but they dare not bet on whether what Schiller said is true.

After this youthful version of the Justice League split in situ, the atmosphere at the scene became subtle.

Because in Bruce's plan, the person he wants to use kryptonite to weaken is Schiller, so he naturally stands opposite Schiller, and the one who wants to compete with him for kryptonite is Lex, so he also Standing opposite Lex, then in this way, Schiller and Lex stood aside.

If you compare Lex and Bruce, their intelligence is almost the same. Bruce wins in physical fitness and fighting skills. If the two of them face to face, Bruce has a great advantage.

But Schiller stood on Lex's side, and Bruce's only advantage in force disappeared, so he had to seek a strong ally.

When Clark was called by Bruce's name, he was still confused because he couldn't understand the situation on the court at all. He stood far away and said loudly: What's going on? Aren't we partners?!

Clark, you can't let this kind of thing fall into Luthor's hands. What he did before has shown that he has no bottom line for destroying human beings.

Don't listen to him, Clark, if I get the treasure, I will never use it against you.

You're lying, Lex, you want that mineral called kryptonite just to guard against Clark, don't you?

Lex didn't show any weakness either, he looked directly into Bruce's eyes and asked, Then who did you get this mineral to guard against?

After asking this sentence, Lex and Bruce instinctively turned their gazes to Schiller. Schiller was looking down at his umbrella, but when he found that everyone on the field was silent, he raised his head and took a look first. Lex, taking another look at Bruce, said, Why are you staring at me?

I said I want to go on, but you won't let me, and I want to leave, but you won't let me. Do you still want to blame me for all this?

Hey, don't quarrel! Clark finally came over, seeing Schiller silently taking a step back, Clark stopped again, he stretched out both hands, stopped between Lex and Bruce, and said:

No matter who gets this thing in the end, we must first confirm whether it is harmful to ordinary people. This is the most important goal of our cooperation.

With that said, Clark walked to the entrance of the cellar again, and he said, If you can't agree with this, I won't let any of you go down.

For me, whoever gets this thing is the same, so I will not help any of you to deal with the other. If you are going to be deadlocked here, then I will go down first.

At this time, Clark was about to walk into the cellar, Bruce and Lex looked at each other, and the scope of the fierce conflict suddenly eased again.

Obviously, both of them knew that Clark couldn't get that magical mineral, and if Clark really went down alone and no one around him influenced him, even if the mineral could weaken the super power, it might not be able to stop him.

Seeing Lex and Bruce walking side by side again, Schiller shook his head, Clark really restrained him, in all senses, but this can't be helped, silly Baitian restrains all players who use their brains, your prediction The verdict is good, but I don't move at all.

The reason for the dispute between Lex and Bruce is very complicated, which stems from the personalities and positions of the two of them. If you want to choose one of them, you must analyze the behavior logic of the two of them, just like Schiller did. He would stand on Lex's side because he knew that Bruce was definitely trying to deal with him with this thing, even if he stood on Bruce's side, he would be backstabbed in the end.

But Clark chose not to choose anyone. In short, he did not use his brain at all, determined his goal, and then went all the way to Qianmang, but happened to break Schiller's divorce plan. Facing the courageous Clark, Bruce still had to choose Team up with Lex.

Now the situation has changed, Clark jumped down from the cellar first, Lex and Bruce walked forward while talking, seeming to be formulating a new plan, Schiller followed behind them, considering whether to go down by themselves.

It stands to reason that at this point in the matter, there is no need for him to go down by himself. Anyway, no matter what is underneath, Lex and Bruce will evacuate it. It will be very easy to get some from Lex at that time, after all Schiller is not Batman, he needs half a ton of kryptonite for no use other than occupying space.

But at this moment, Schiller, who was at the end, noticed that there seemed to be several teams of agents walking towards this place. The fence in the courtyard was covered with thick white snow, but people could still be seen swaying between the branches.

It can be seen from the formation that this is not a coincidence, they are surrounding here in an orderly manner.

Going to an unknown place, facing possible dangers, competing for treasure with equally dangerous opponents, or staying here, facing some very easy to deal with agents, Schiller did not hesitate to choose...the former.

He walked into the entrance of the cellar without looking back, and was hiding in a hiding place to observe the agents here. He thought he hadn't noticed, so after Schiller entered the entrance of the cellar, the agents rushed out of the hiding place , and then set up some explosion-proof equipment brought by the entrance.

While the agents were executing orders step by step, Benjamin was on the top floor of the manor tower, watching the situation at the entrance of the cellar with a telescope.

The location of this tower is very good. It is located in the very center of the entire manor, and it is the highest place. It can be used as a watchtower to have a panoramic view of the entire manor.

Not only the situation of the whole manor, but also the situation around the mayor's mansion. Therefore, the moment Benjamin raised the binoculars, he keenly captured a black spot in his field of vision, from the skyline of the metropolis. across the line.

In the snowflakes, the visibility was not far enough, so Benjamin didn't see what it was at all, but soon, he felt the ground shake, and the flames of the explosion lit up from a distance, and even formed a wave that stirred up the snowflakes and flew up. cyclone.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes, he put down the binoculars and turned his head, and asked Keira behind him: ...Did you see it?

Keira was also holding the binoculars, and by coincidence, she was looking straight in that direction. After she put down the binoculars, she said in an incredible tone: I think I saw a crashed fighter jet.

A fighter jet? Besides those crazy Soviets, who would fly a fighter jet in this weather?

Keira frowned, thinking about it, she said: That doesn't seem to be the fighter model I've seen. You know, I also served in the Air Force. At present, the Air Force should not have all-black fighter jets.

At this moment, they heard a sound coming from downstairs, not downstairs of the tower they were in, but near the fourth floor of the manor.

It was a crisp sound. It didn't sound like a gunshot, but like the sound of glass breaking. Benjamin's face sank. He looked at Keira and asked, The guests are making trouble again, right? ?”

Keira picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to communicate with the agents and ask them to go over to check, but Benjamin stepped forward to stop her and said, Don't mobilize the manpower at the entrance for now, let's go over and see for ourselves.

Benjamin thought that it was just the group of impatient guests who made something up. During this period of time, he also discovered that this group of people were nothing but strong outsiders. Although their words were fierce, once the agents took If they fired their guns, they would just retreat back in humility.

Thinking of this, Benjamin walked down from the tower directly without much precaution, then entered the main building of the manor, passed through the banquet hall, walked up the stairs, and came to the place where the voice came from.

It was the end of the corridor on the fourth floor. At this time, broken glass was scattered on the ground. Keira walked up to her with a pistol, checked it, and said, Someone probably broke the glass. It was a prank because of dissatisfaction. ?

If it's a prank, there shouldn't be glass on the ground because if you break the glass from the inside, the glass shards will be scattered outside, and now, the glass shards are in the corridor, it means someone broke the glass from the outside.

Benjamin checked around the broken glass, but found no footprints or other similar traces, and finally he concluded: It seems that this is not man-made, maybe some sharp objects were blown onto the glass by the wind and snow, and then broke it from the outside.

Keira frowned, and seemed to have some objections, but she couldn't find any evidence to refute Benjamin.

After all, in this kind of rainy and snowy weather, it is easy for people to leave traces, and the residents here are all pampered celebrities, they have no motivation to run out of the window, and then come in through the window.

And if it's a foreign enemy invasion, it's unlikely. Now that the traffic in the entire metropolis is paralyzed, who would spend so much effort to come here? The entire operation is completely confidential, and the communication has been cut off. Outsiders have no idea what happened here, and have no reason to come here.

But at this moment, Benjamin gave a somewhat puzzled Hey, and Keira walked up and found that he was staring at the wall next to the window.

Keira couldn't see anything on the wall, so she walked closer and leaned her head over it, only to finally notice that there was a tiny scratch at the junction of the wall and the window sill, which was barely visible.

This seemed to be left when people climbed over the window. Benjamin stared at the trace and said: It seems that someone has indeed invaded here.

Keira was a little puzzled, she felt that the evidence was not sufficient, she said: What if the glass fragments were scratched out when a foreign object broke the glass?

Kayla, discovering details and inferring the behavioral logic behind it is a necessary professional quality for agents. The reason why many agents can be called the king of agents is because they are good at discovering these details and inferring from them what ordinary people can't discover. information.

The scratch is located at the junction of the window sill and the wall, but its direction is upward. If it was caused by flying glass shards, it should be the lower half of the window glass splashed out and scratched. The trace should face downward.

When the lower half of the glass was broken, it was impossible to make a strange turn in the air and fly upwards. Therefore, this should not be caused by the glass. More importantly, look here, there is a deep scratch first, and then It's a long, shallow scratch, what does that mean?

What? Kayla asked.

The shape of the scratch is not regular, and it should have two parts.

So, what's that?

It's most likely a zipper on a jacket, or a zipper on a trouser pocket, the pendant of the zipper and the zipper itself rubbing against the wall and that's causing the shape.

As he spoke, Benjamin picked up the zipper on his coat and scratched it lightly on the wall, and sure enough, the same shape as the previous scratch appeared.

The person who invaded should be a veteran. He cleaned up the traces on the ground in a short period of time, but he ignored the wall part.

As I said. Benjamin turned his head to look at the scratch, and said with some disdain: In the secret service, details determine success or failure.

You have to know that the details determine success or failure. In a room on the fifth floor, Alfred held the double-barreled shotgun and said to Hal.

Hal, who was standing by the bed, sighed, and said: So, after you cleaned up all the traces, you also asked me to use a zipper to leave a shallow scratch on the window, the purpose is to confuse the agent leader ?”

That's right, this will give him a feeling that I am secretive and sparse, confusing his judgment on my strength, and at the same time arousing his interest.

If I don't do anything and let those traces stay there, then the chief agent will definitely think that I am a novice, and he can send one or two agents to get rid of me, so there is no way to attract him attention.

But if I clear the traces too cleanly, on the one hand, it may make him feel that no one has invaded here; on the other hand, if he judges that my strength is too high, he may call all the agents to come over Search, that's not good for our operations.

So, it is to get his attention and let him chase us, but not let him take it too seriously. Hal concluded.

That's right. Alfred nodded, and he said, It seems that I should have successfully aroused his interest, and even aroused his fighting spirit, making him want to come over and have a duel with me Up or down.

Then what are you going to do? Fight him?

Alfred looked at Hal with a look of a fool and said:

Why should I fight him?

Then you plan to...

Master and Miss are not young anymore, I think it's time for them to learn some necessary self-protection methods.
