Captain America refused to sit on the trunk of the kid's scooter and declined the suggestion that the three of them take turns riding - at the speed of the kid's scooter, if he were an adult, he would only need to take long strides to keep up.

Weiwei held a flashlight in her mouth and switched seats with Diana. She said she was a little tired and wanted to take a rest, and Wonder Woman drove the car.

The place where they were staying was uneven for some reason, and the light from the flashlight was limited, so they couldn't determine the entire location.

——Maybe they appear to be moving forward, but are actually going in circles?

Everything is possible.

Holding Wonder Woman's waist, Weiwei closed her eyes - she was certainly not really tired, but she noticed that something was wrong with Professor "Daisy" who had her eyes open.

Professor Daisy, who was accompanying Damian in the circus, was "invited" away by someone. Looking at the map, one can tell that the other party was very capable. The young assassin Damian didn't even notice it at first, and only realized after a few minutes that the person next to him was missing.

The people who took the professor away were hired by a wealthy man from Metropolis, Lex Luther, and the room they were talking in was more of a temporary residence that was quickly converted than a "room" -

If it was just a simple conversation, why not find a place to chat directly, but instead renovate a small attic on the top floor not far from the pier?

Mr. Luther in front of the professor had an impressive hairstyle - he was bald.

Although Weiwei's professor's trumpet didn't show any expression, the man in front of her seemed to see her confusion and said, "The room here is made of portable detachable lead plates, and a little other design is added... Of course you can understand, Miss Diamond, sometimes if humans don't make some preparations, they can't hide it from the superhumans in this world."

Diamond, meaning "diamond".

The Diamond family lives up to its name and is one of the wealthy families in the United States. They mainly run some industries and the oil industry. The presidential election in the United States is related to political parties, and behind the political parties stand the big corporations.

According to Weiwei's understanding of the game, in this game world, money can control politics.

Professor: "Let's talk about superhumans?"

"Superman," Luther smiled, "His super vision can see through things, but he can't go through lead plates. He has a strength that is difficult for humans to understand, but he only knows how to be a 'hero' wearing a tights, but this world does not belong to heroes..."

The light fell on Luther's bald head, and he shook his head: "This is a world that belongs to humans, and heroes will prevent humans from progressing."

"Have you heard of Arkham, Professor?" he asked.

"I've heard of two," Daisy said simply, "one in Gotham and one outside of Gotham."

"Both Arkhams are filled with lunatics," Luther said in a roundabout way, without directly stating his purpose. "One Arkham tells us what lunatics can do in this world, and the other Arkham tries to explore the true secrets of this world and then produce more lunatics. But I think Blythe University and Miskatonic University are different—"

Weiwei tried to understand Luther's words. Was this person giving away information for free?

BB is from Miskatonic University, Arkham Town, DD is from Blythe University, Blythe Town, and according to Luther, both Miskatonic University and Blythe University are not normal, are the people from Miskatonic University crazy? No, BB is normal, is it because she dropped out early?

"Because you are in awe of the world while exploring it, and you can disregard everything in pursuit of the truth of the world..."

She understood—

Mi is a noob and likes to find big bosses on the world map and pull them out to fight. If he fails to defeat them, he can't be resurrected, so he doesn't have a good reputation. Bu is mostly a blood-selling auxiliary, and can read himself to death. They are the same, but there are not so many people running around the world. Most people stay at home, so his reputation is okay.

"——So you can understand my idea," Luther repeated again, "Humanity does not need heroes. Only by using human power to fight against evil can they become better. Heroes allow everyone to wait for help with peace of mind. As long as they encounter danger, they can just shout 'Superman, help me'. Don't you think the danger is ridiculous? They lose their courage. And this is the purpose of your coming to Gotham City, right, professor?"

Weiwei: “?”

Wait, why did you say I came to Gotan?

"To open a school in Gotham," she said, pulling out her plan for South Hinckley, "I also wanted to have students come over to take classes and see the city. Isn't that great?"

She finished the long sentence in one breath and paused for a moment: "...and there are festivals and celebrations in the next few days."

Luther's expression was a little strange: "..."

According to the information he had found out, Miss Diamond was obviously attracted by the "unique historical book" in the hands of the Assassin's League. He didn't know the specific contents of the book, but he knew about the University of Budapest and knew who could become professors in this school... As expected, it was not so easy to get a unique historical book, and the assassins following Miss Diamond were the evidence, so Luther suspected that what the other party saw was related to the inner world that had never been exposed.

Lex Luthor, as he said, the richest man in Metropolis is a human chauvinist. In his eyes, non-humans have no human rights. In order to get rid of superheroes who "hinder human progress", such as aliens, gods... especially the famous Kryptonian, he thinks it is worth sacrificing a small number of people as a price.

——This “small part” fluctuates between 0 and hundreds of millions.

But in the fight against Superman, Luther accidentally learned about Michigan, and then learned part of the content of the inner world, the irresistible mysterious alien species, the ancients living on the earth, the strange tentacles, the island in the deep sea, the sleeping evil god, the secret method to summon the evil god... What shocked him even more was that the so-called gods actually didn't care about humans, followers or enemies, and humans would only go mad and die if they faced the terror brought by the evil gods.

Luther instinctively hates this heresy, but as an outsider, all the records of mysterious events he investigated did not have detailed descriptions. He guessed that Batman had also conducted relevant investigations, but the more he read, the more he could feel the unspeakable horror. After sealing the records for a period of time, Luther chose to find an ally in the other world to fight against the mystery.

It took him a long time to find this role. It was very difficult to find a mentally normal, experienced, knowledgeable and alive guy. With the emergence of Mr. C, Luther finally chose "Miss Diamond".

"Let's not play dumb," Luther deadpanned, "The assassins from the Assassin's League will kill you once you've completed your work with them, but I can save you."

Conscious modification doesn't work for everyone, but it's enough as long as it works for most people.

The current Gotan city is in a state of chaos under the "celebration" atmosphere. Luther doesn't want to stay there any longer. He suspects that he will become mentally unstable if he stays there for too long.

The professor looked at him expressionlessly, seemingly not attracted by his conditions.

Actually, it’s because

"Ah——" Inside the maze, the ground suddenly moved and rolled like waves. Vivi only had time to hug Diana tightly, while Steve was thrown away, only a few meters away from them. The darkness shrouded the place, leaving only Diana and Vivi.

Diana immediately turned the car around, but they had no hope of finding Steve. At this moment, a gargoyle fell from the sky and asked, "The warriors' path has sweetness, happiness, confusion and fear. If you can't overcome your fear, if you are alone, you can call me and quit here. Your teammates may do so. If your teammates choose to quit, even if you walk in front of the enemy, you will never be able to defeat him."

Weiwei whispered, "Is there a heart-conquering step?"

Doesn't this make them suspect that the other two teammates have quit?

The captain is not worried, but that "Jack"... is very likely.

Diana said, "Let's go find Steve first, he'll try to come over and get it sorted."

In this situation, Luther on the other side was still asking for trouble.

"I need you to tell me about Mr. C. I know you are here for him, Professor. The mayor is your niece, and you can appear beside her without being suspected," he said. "We can also exchange information on an equal footing. I have collected some books that may interest you..."

However, the woman in front of him not only did not react, she even seemed a little irritated - she was not moved by knowledge... Is she really a professor at the University of Budapest?

Maybe the library at the University of Birmingham has more classics, but the library there is not open to Lex Luther, no matter how much money he invests.

After receiving a message from his men who were sent to distract the Assassin's League, Luther realized that he didn't have much time left.

Luther vaguely realized that the woman's claim of "opening a school" might be true, so he said, "Do you want me to invest in your school?"

The woman blinked.

——The ground stopped shaking. The motorcycle failed to catch up with Steve, but it actually found Jack. Among the dozen people, Jack was not so obvious, but Vivi was relieved. At least the teammate who might have quit did not quit.

The professor coughed twice: "You want me to go undercover in the mayor's faction?"

"Undercover?" The guy in front of him lowered his head and laughed twice. "You can say that I will deal with those troublesome assassins around you. As for the little assassin, you can handle it yourself."

"And in return -" let's just say Miss Diamond's dream is to open a school, he said, "I can solve all your school needs."

[You get a side quest: Investment from Lex Luther]

[Task Description: After hearing about your dream of establishing a school, Mr. Lex Luther was deeply moved. He said that as long as you write something to fool him regularly, he would be willing to undertake all the expenses of your school.]

[Hint: He is not someone who is easy to fool, but the rewards are huge]

[Mission Reward: Unknown Gold Coins]

In the maze, Weiwei rushed towards Jack, pushed aside "Thomas" and grabbed him without saying anything. Then she called Diana: "Do you want to tie this guy to us with a rope? It would be a pity if he backed out."

Jason, alias "Jack": "?"

Diana lowered her head: The only thing here that can be called a "rope" is her Lasso of Truth, right?

Outside the maze, Lex's men took the others away. After a short silence, Damian jumped in from the window.

The little assassin seemed very angry, perhaps more angry at himself.

He asked the professor in a very aggressive tone: "Who took you away?"

The professor exclaimed, "...a kind-hearted person?"

He offered to pay her to go undercover as herself, dealt with the other assassins who forced Vivi to change her identity in the bathroom, and paid for the construction of a school in South Hinckley... Isn't he a good person?
