American comic book red Superman

At the end of the road was a conference room. Hua Xin pushed open the door and led Luo Wei inside. A young man wearing a mask was already sitting in the conference room.

Upon seeing this, the young man wearing the white mask immediately stood up, politely extended his hand, and said, "Hello, Superman."

"He is the White Mask; you've seen him before."

Hua Xin explained.

"Ah."

Luo Wei remembered the white mask; he had also participated in missions in Japan, and the young man's name seemed to be Zhang Fengshan.

“Superman, this is probably not a simple attack. They stole the equipment not just to create panic, but for another purpose.”

Hua Xin didn't waste any more words. There were only three people at the meeting, so she went straight to the point about the incident. "According to our investigation and Xu Zhao's confession, Xu Zhao and his group were only responsible for hiding the equipment. They did not participate in any carjacking operation. The real mastermind is a criminal."

“I know all that, get to the point.”

Lowe interrupted the woman, saying that he had already learned about these things from the two guys earlier. They were only responsible for hiding the equipment, while the criminal scientist they mentioned was the mastermind.

"Ah."

Hua Xin nodded and continued, "Actually, the interrogation went very smoothly at first. Xu Zhao answered every question truthfully, and the lie detector showed no problems."

But when I asked Xu Zhao about the purpose of the person behind the scenes needing this equipment, he couldn't say.

Later, during my examination, I discovered that someone had constructed a mental prison within Xu Zhao's mind, restricting the content of that part of his memory and preventing him from speaking about it.

"Wait

"Are you saying that Xu Zhao's mind has been restricted?"

Luo Wei interrupted Hua Xin again, having caught a key point.

"Hmm, I suspect the person behind this is a mind-controller, and their manipulation of minds is superior to mine."

Hua Xin said with a serious expression, then noticed Luo Wei's serious expression and asked in confusion, "What, have you made a new discovery?"

"The two people I interrogated on the rooftop have already told me the truth, including the ultimate goal of the person behind it all."

Luo Wei recounted the interrogation of Brother Wang and Xiao Xiao on the rooftop. He said the interrogation was easy and he didn't feel any resistance, nor did he find any mental limitations in the two of them.

However, Hua Xin said that Xu Zhao's memory was sealed, preventing him from revealing the mastermind's purpose and plan.

It's important to know that Xu Zhao, Brother Wang, and Xiao Xiao are all in cahoots; they're all working for someone behind the scenes.

If the person behind the scenes is blocking memories, they certainly won't only focus on Xu Zhao. They won't let Wang Ge, Xiao Xiao, and the other members off the hook either. After all, if anyone leaks the information, then blocking memories becomes meaningless.

After listening to Luo Wei's account, Hua Xin remained silent for a moment and then said, "Could it be that you are more spiritually capable than me, which is why you made them speak up?"

"Impossible, I didn't use any mental methods."

Lowe shook his head. He didn't use super hypnosis during the interrogation, which was currently his only mental technique.

"Strange, if that's the case, why did the person behind it only block Xu Zhao's memories?"

Hua Xin frowned, her face full of confusion.

"No, the person behind it all sealed their memories, including the two I interrogated; it's just that their restrictions have been lifted."

Luo Wei suddenly thought of something and asked, "When did you interrogate Xu Zhao?"

“Three days ago, Xu Zhao was escorted back to Kyoto. However, before he left, I interrogated him again alone, but he still couldn’t speak.”

Hua Xin recalled the details of the interrogation, recounted what had happened, and stated that she used her mental abilities, but Xu Zhao remained silent.

I have two guesses now.

After listening, Luo Wei thought for a moment and looked at the two of them slowly, saying, "My first guess is that Xu Zhao may really not know the purpose and plan of the person behind the scenes."

Hua Xin and Zhang Fengshan's eyes both turned to him, waiting for their second guess.

"Secondly, before I interrogated those two people, someone unlocked their mental prison."

After giving his second guess, Luo Wei frowned.

Hua Xin and Zhang Fengshan's expressions were even more solemn and heavy than before, and the conference room fell into deep thought and silence.

Which one do you prefer?

Zhang Fengshan broke the silence with his words.

“I prefer the second one because of the first one. Hua Xin said that she found a mental prison in Xu Zhao’s mind. Although we can’t know what the memories in the mental prison are, it is likely the truth about the person behind the scenes.”

Luo Wei paused, the bright lights of the conference room shining on his face, but instead of making him appear bright, they made him look a bit gloomy. "So I think it's the second one. The person behind the scenes unlocked their mental prison before I interrogated them."

"Can this be done?"

Zhang Fengshan was surprised, his eyes revealing...

Worry.

"Yes, according to the Self-Improvement Department's research over the years, as long as one's mental abilities are strong enough, it is even possible to control all living beings in the world."

Hua Xin answered the question for Luo Wei, but then fell silent.

"Who can do something under Superman's nose?"

Zhang Fengshan slowly said that this was actually the problem he was really worried about. Superman's powerful senses and mental abilities were obvious to everyone. No one in the entire Green Vine City could escape Superman's perception.

Not to mention, Superman is more focused than ever during interrogations, yet even when he is so focused, someone still manages to slip through his fingers!

"There are many people in this universe who are more powerful than me."

Unlike the other two, Luo Wei was more concerned about who did this, the mastermind behind the whole plan, that criminal scientist?

To be honest, Lowe knew that criminal scientist Gerald, as well as his son and daughter-in-law. All three of them made their living through crime and knew countless supervillains, but they were just ordinary people and had no ability to cause trouble under his nose!

Moreover, no supervillain wants to be associated with Superman.

“Superman, he’s doing this to try and get you involved.”

Hua Xin, who was standing next to him, offered her analysis, which also revealed what Luo Wei was thinking: "The person behind the scenes deliberately let you know about the plan and the purpose. It's obvious that they want you to get involved, and they know you very well."

"Although what Xiaohua said sounds unbelievable, I think it makes a lot of sense. Someone behind the scenes is trying to pull you into this, but we don't know what they want to do."

Zhang Fengshan stroked his chin, clearly shocked by the matter. Supervillains were trying their best to avoid Superman; apart from those who were reckless, no one wanted to be associated with Superman. But now, someone was indeed doing just that.

This proves that the other party is not afraid of Superman!

He thought about it, a cold sweat breaking out on his back, and looked at Lowe, asking, "Superman, didn't you find out the mastermind's plan from those two? Maybe we can find some clues in there."

"The mastermind is Gerald, a criminal scientist of Chinese descent. His goal is to find the legendary Monkey King. His core team may consist of more than three people. Xu Zhao and his group are just some small fry who are sent to their deaths."

Luo Wei explained the basic situation.

"Have you found the Monkey King?"

Zhang Fengshan was deflated. What kind of clue was this? A criminal scientist going to find the Monkey King?

That's a person who doesn't even exist in this world.

“Criminal scientist Gerald? I’ve heard of him. He was involved when he helped the Penguin commit crimes in Gotham, but he disappeared after Batman’s crackdown on the Penguin. I never expected him to come to China.”

Hua Xin remembered this person. She had read about Gerald's deeds in a book. He was a villain who had planned many crimes and was a wanted criminal worldwide.

This villain has now come to China!

“You can start your investigation with Gerald. Since he came to China and temporarily stored the stolen goods there, I think the Monkey King that Gerald is looking for is also in China.”

As Luo Wei was speaking, he suddenly remembered the device and asked, "What was that stolen device used for?"

"Actually, that was just a department."

It's a component, but also the most important one. The mechanical devices built with it can create singularities and open teleportation channels. Of course, the experiment is currently only in the experimental stage, and the device itself was scrap, originally intended for destruction. Unexpectedly, it encountered superhumans, leading to its fall into outsider hands.

Hua Xin explained with shame that although it was not a task she was in charge of, the dereliction of duty by the Self-Improvement Department concerned the entire department and was not just one person's responsibility.

After listening, Lowe fell into deep thought. It seemed that Gerald wanted to create a device to create a singularity in order to open a passage, and it seemed that he was really aiming for the Monkey King.

As far as he knew, the Monkey King should be in some space now, and a teleportation channel was needed to find him.

However, he wasn't worried about Gerald. Even if Gerald found the Monkey King, he'd probably be killed by the monkey with a single blow.

The only thing that worries him now is the real person behind the scenes.

Based on speculation, Gerrard is not the real mastermind; an ordinary person wouldn't have that much power. There must be others behind him.

Luo Wei rubbed his temples, sat up from his chair, and said, "That's all for today, you two. I'll go back and sort out my thoughts. Let me know as soon as you have any news. Hua Xin, you know how to contact me."

"Ah."

Hua Xin nodded and asked Zhang Fengshan to see Superman off.

He turned off the conference room lights and hurried back to his office to report the incident to his superiors and begin investigating Gerald and the recent intrusion list from China, searching for suspicious individuals.

However, none of the three knew this.

After they left, the lights in the previously dark conference room flickered a few times, and a figure appeared in a dark corner—a woman in a red robe with milky-gray hair.

She walked to the window, lifted a corner of the window, and gazed at Superman's receding figure on the horizon, her expression somewhat complicated. "Superman, not Clark?"

"It's not what I expected."

Pandora watched the figure disappear into the horizon, then her gaze shifted to her left hand, where she held a strange magic box.

Gleaming a faint glow, unlike the Mother Box, this magic box emitted a mysterious light that seemed to contain the power to change the world, almost bursting forth.

Pandora stared at it for a long time, then tugged hard at the box, but the lid wouldn't budge.

She sighed deeply, her eerie eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness, and said, "Alas, who can finally open you up?"

"The Monkey King? Superman?"

She muttered to herself as her body disappeared into the empty room along with the lights in the conference room, leaving only a corner of the curtains swaying in the breeze.

Chapter 100, page 99: The Monkey King and Pandora (Part 3)

Lowe didn't know much about Gerald, the famous criminal scientist in DC. He only knew that Gerald had worked for many supervillains. Rather than working for them, Gerald was more into the pleasure of it. He had an extremely fanatical attitude towards crime. Unlike the Joker, he wanted to enslave society. He was a guy with an antisocial personality at his core.

Just as Gerald planned to do to the Monkey King, after learning about the monkey's power from the myth, he conceived the idea of ​​enslaving him and making Sun Wukong work for him, so that he could carry out his crazy criminal activities more unscrupulously.

“His mentality is not that of a descendant of the Chinese people at all.”

In the room, Kara listened to Rowe's brief account of the events. She also learned about the criminal scientist Gerald, but this person was different from the Chinese people she knew.

"He betrayed his people and is unworthy of the Chinese nation."
