American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 432: Metropolis Doubt (18)

Both Lex and Bruce surrounded the boy, but they didn't go up to help him, but were observing his state. After all, the timing and way of his appearance were a little too weird.

"Sorry, can you help me? I'm a little uncomfortable." The boy coughed twice and said.

Bruce didn't move, just stood there and asked him, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"My name is Clark, Clark Kent, as I said, I'm a student at the Met, and I saw smoke in the house in my dorm room, and I wanted to come and put out the fire."

The teenager named Clark sighed, and then continued: "I just went to college this year, and my student ID is in my pocket. You can take it out and take a look. I'm not lying."

Bruce walked over, fumbled through the pockets of his clothes, and found a student ID card that read, "First-Year Met, Clark Kent, Journalism."

He put the student ID card in his pocket, then stepped forward and helped Clark up. He helped Clark leave the messy reception room and came to a guest room next to him.

Clark lay on the bed, and after resting for a while, he seemed to feel better. He took off the gas mask from his face, revealing that handsome and handsome face that was comparable to Bruce.

He took a few breaths, then stroked his chest and said, "Damn it, how can I..."

At this moment, the door of the guest room was knocked. After Lex, who was standing beside the door, opened the door, he found Schiller standing outside the door.

Bruce began to look down at the pattern on the sheets again. Lex also immersed himself in studying the structure of the doorknob. Schiller walked in and saw another person lying on the bed. Isn't that your helicopter engine?"

After regaining some strength, Clark sat up from the bed and said, "Hello, I'm Clark, thank you for saving me."

Schiller narrowed his eyes, then looked at Clark and said, "Are you in high school or college?"

"I just started college this year, and it's at the Metropolitan University, not far from here, so when I saw the smoke here, I rushed over immediately."

"How did you get here?" Schiller asked.

Bruce also turned his head to look at Clark, apparently also curious about this question, Schiller glanced at the sky outside the window, and then said: "If my speculation is correct, the thickness of the snow is now far beyond the vehicle can pass. range."

"I came here on foot."

"I used to teach at Metropolitan University. Although Metropolitan University is near here, it takes at least 20 minutes to walk, and it took less than three minutes from the fire to the smoke..."

"I run faster, and I am the long-distance running champion of our department this year." Clark explained hard.

Obviously, the three people in this room except Clark did not believe his statement at all. Just when Bruce wanted to ask questions, Schiller said, "You look a little bad, what's the matter?"

"I just... suddenly felt a little uncomfortable." Clark frowned and said, "Maybe I ran too fast just now."

Like a sudden reaction, he looked at Schiller and said, "Are you a professor at Metropolitan University? Well, I..."

"It's an emergency, isn't it?" Schiller continued, and Clark showed a relieved expression, "Thank you for your understanding, I know the school told us not to go out..."

"No matter how you got here, it's clear that you're as trapped as we are."

"Or..." Schiller looked into Clark's eyes and said, "You can show us how to run from the mayor's mansion to Metropolitan University in three minutes."

Clark shook his head like a wavy drum and said, "No, I'm a little tired."

Schiller turned to look at Lex and Bruce, and said, "I want to talk to him about the current situation of the Metropolitan University. If you are all right, go back and rest."

Lex looked like he wanted to say something, but Schiller turned his head and went back. He hesitated and left the room. Bruce followed him and walked out in the dim corridor. Bruce turned to him. Say, "You should know something, right?"

"What do you mean?" Lex didn't answer his question directly.

"That so-called treasure, and your father, and the conspiracy two years ago, and that professor..."

"Oh, you are here." Selena appeared at the entrance of the stairs, she went back upstairs and glanced at the messy reception room opposite, then shook her head and said, "You two are really good, actually blowing up this place. already."

After speaking, she looked Lex up and down again and said, "Are you really a citizen of the Metropolis? Your destructive power is rare in Gotham."

Lex didn't seem to want to talk to Selena at all, he stopped, looked at Bruce and said, "I admit that you are also a genius, but you are far from me, your so-called perfect helicopter engine is nothing but in this way……"

"I can tell you, I do know a lot." Lex folded his arms and looked Bruce in the eyes. "My father has been looking for a treasure, and he hasn't found nothing for two years."

"Today's banquet was originally his conspiracy. He invited all the celebrities from the East Coast here. On the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill those who hindered him. On the other hand, he also wanted to make trouble, muddy the water, and fish in the water. "

Bruce narrowed his eyes. He looked straight at Lex and said, "You mean, the treasure is here?"

"That's right." Lex gave an affirmative answer, and then he started pacing in front of Bruce, saying as he walked:

"The mayor's mansion is the oldest manor in the metropolis. The people who built this manor were the first European immigrants to come here, but later, after the immigrants left the city, it became the residence and office of successive mayors. place."

"Everyone knows that unlike your Gotham, the Metropolis is a city governed by a forced mayor. The mayor has a lot of power here. The mayor who served two terms before White had high hopes. Prosperity under governance."

"Some people say that he may be a strong candidate for the presidency, but after he left the mayor, he disappeared mysteriously, but the mayor still left many rumors, including what my father heard. that."

"He heard that the mayor has been conducting some secret radiation experiments, and he has found a way to improve the human body and brain, so that humans can become mutants with strong physique, long lifespan, and full of wisdom."

Lex glanced at Bruce's expression and said, "I know, this sounds like a fool's imagination, but he did find some evidence that the mayor was in the underground of the mayor's mansion. Secret experiment."

"He doesn't want to acquire extraordinary wisdom all the time, so he has been investigating this matter until he bought all the buildings around the mayor's mansion, and then planned this incident, wanting to take the opportunity to investigate the secrets under the mayor's mansion... …”

Lex stopped, looked at Bruce and said, "The Metropolis should be handled by the people of the Metropolis. No matter what the mayor is doing underground, it has nothing to do with you, go back to your Gotham."

"You know what I'm really interested in, what happened to that conspiracy two years ago? And, that professor..."

"At that time, I was indeed in the mayor's mansion, but I didn't leave the room the whole time. What happened in the manor~www.readwn.com~ I don't know."

"So……"

"I won't say anything about that professor."

Lex crossed his fingers and made a fork in front of his mouth. After putting down his hands, he turned around and left, showing a slightly evil smile before leaving.

After he left, Selena leaned up and walked side by side with Bruce. After the two of them returned to the room, Bruce sat on the bed against the head of the bed, with a tired expression on his face. He rarely went out. This kind of expression appeared in front of people, but Selena seemed to be used to it.

"It looks like you're a little unhappy?" Selena sat next to him, then turned to look at his face, and said, "Is that all you want to know about that professor?"

Bruce pursed his lips and replied, "If I can't figure out his origin, I can't turn a blind eye to his dangerous abilities."

"You don't trust him? But I think he seems to trust you."

"Where did you see it?"

"Didn't you find it? At the moment when Lex wanted to attack you, he chose to stand by your side."

Bruce shook his head and said, "I just don't trust those dangerous abilities. If one day these abilities get out of control, I need to have a way to counteract..."

"Okay, then let's talk about that treasure, I like to find treasure, how about you?" Selena said to Bruce with a smile.

"Lex told me that there are secrets under the mayor's mansion, probably just for me to find his way."

"Yeah, but..."

Selena deliberately dragged a long note, causing Bruce to turn to look at her. Then, Bruce saw that Selena stretched out a hand, picked her index finger, and a key appeared at her fingertips.

"What if, I got a key from him?"
