Moxi found that the state of the boss was a little bit wrong. There were problems from the itinerary to the behavior pattern, but this was indeed the boss, and the iris fingerprints were all right.

"Is there anything I can arrange?"

She was wearing a smart formal suit, with a tablet under her arm, and looked at her watch, wondering if the boss had any special arrangements for today.

Because according to the usual habits, the boss should still be studying the Kryptonian corpse in the laboratory at this time.

"No, no, you go out, it's none of your business." Luther waved his hand irritably, and drove the female secretary out.

Not just irritability, but also mental exhaustion, which is different from being always very excited no matter how tired the body is after finishing the research, this time it was more dissatisfaction with the progress of my experiment.

Some kind of nameless anger filled his chest, which almost made him uncontrollable. The desire to deal with the alien became stronger and stronger, and complemented with it, his poor state was very annoying!

He knew that it was meaningless for him to be angry, and there was no way to speed up the progress of the experiment if he was angry with himself, but it also made him see that once he lost the knowledge and talent he was proud of, he would use his strength to deal with the man who was hanging in front of him. The aliens on top of the city are simply impossible.

Luther irritatedly threw the pen, which was equivalent to going to the highest restaurant to eat a big meal, on the ground. The pen bounced pitifully twice on the ground, and the ink splashed out, leaving a few scattered black spots on the floor. Ink stains, two drops of ink splashed onto Luthor's suit trouser legs. He tried to avoid it, but his body, which obviously had no light sensitivity, did not respond in time.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

He muttered and repeated twice, and his anger gradually stabilized. He strode out of the office, not planning to come back to this unlucky place for a while. Everything that happened here today was very unsatisfactory!

He slammed the door of the office behind him hard, hit the door frame and bounced open again, and finally froze miserably on the cover. According to Luthor's rigor in the past, he would never let the door open like this, but today's Luther was different, he strode out without even looking back.

He went downstairs in the exclusive elevator. At almost the same time as him, the door of the stairwell was opened. The two ladies in formal attire first looked out vigilantly, making sure that Luther had indeed left, and his assistant Moxie was not here. On the first floor, he didn't come out until there was a sound of "monitoring done" coming from the earphones.

they look old

Not very old, but the one with green hair has a calm demeanor, and the woman with blond hair next to her looks very mature from the outside, but if you look at her eyes, you will feel that she is younger than the one next to her.

"It's very efficient. It seems that the training in the Avengers Building is not bad."

Lorna was not shy about affirming the rapid progress. In fact, without Beta's intelligence-reducing ability, things would not be so easy.

"Of course, we all learned a lot."

Pietro's cheerful voice came, and he stood beside the two in the next second.

"I'm missing you, Wanda, is it going well?" He hurriedly cared about the only sister who didn't come to join us.

"Of course, you can go into Luthor's office, and I'll be able to open it from inside right away."

Wanda seems to be still struggling with the secret door that separates Luther's office from the laboratory. She got in when Luther entered the laboratory, but she was using chaos magic to hide herself.

If Luther's IQ was still there, she would never have done this, but now she stayed with him under Luther's nose for an hour without being found!

Entering the office through the main entrance, the wall on one side suddenly cracked, and mechanical sounds sounded one after another. Then a heavy lead door appeared in front of everyone. Under the thin white wall was the same color as the iron door. ,

Seeing this structure, it is not difficult to guess that the walls of the entire laboratory and even the entire office have such a structure.

lead, a lot of lead

What does Luthor do against Superman?

Seeing the corners of his mouth twitching, Beta raised the hand holding the IQ donut, feeling that at least 50.00% of it was spent on Superman.

There was another sound of mechanical clenching, and the lead door slowly opened. Inside was a quite spacious room, so wide that one even wondered how Luthor managed to build such a large laboratory on the top floor. Is it a different-dimensional space?

Inside, there are some strange things soaked in various nutrient solutions, and there are also silver-white equipment that people can't even read, let alone name. The white lights are bright and cold. Beta pays attention immediately To those green silos placed in the most conspicuous and complex places.

It was a few long and smooth things like a treatment chamber. Beta felt that there must be someone or some strange creature inside. There were various pipes and wires inserted around the thing, and it was connected to a computer that was turned on. It's a mess, tablets, paper materials, and even Kryptonian text...

In short, this must be something that Luthor has studied recently, and it is also something that has caused early warning.

"This is it?"

Lorna leaned over to her and stared at the experimental cabin. She didn't know what she was thinking. She just stared at the direction of the experimental cabin and her eyes were out of focus. go.

Although strictly speaking, she and Lorna have only known each other for less than a day, but Lorna always has a reassuring and trustworthy leadership temperament. Unlike her, Wanda is more like a friend who can go shopping together Good sister.

To Beta's own surprise, in such a short period of time, she already trusted Lorna almost as much as she trusted Wanda, and she always had no resistance to people like Lorna.

Maybe it's because she generally doesn't like to make arrangements, and she doesn't have any strong obsessions.Even the events that led to her death can be easily put down by her because of the passage of time and the death of those involved.

At best, this can be said to be open-minded, but at worst, it is actually having no goals and no direction. Even among the two tentative goals she has set now, one is to use a physical body to give orders from heaven through blood, and the other It is because of Batman that he wants to fundamentally solve Gotham's chaos and study law, hoping to successfully amend some outdated legal provisions one day.

It's just that there is no goal because of herself.

"What are you going to do?"

Before Beta could sort out her thoughts, Lorna's second question followed.

Pietro returned to the door after a quick turn, and Wanda, who was standing next to the experimental cabin, also looked over.

"What's in the experimental cabin? What's Luther's plan?"

Beta looked at Wanda, she should know the most by now.

"It's the corpses of the Kryptonians who destroyed Metropolis last time. I don't know how Luthor got them from the military. He's researching ways to deal with Superman, and he's already made some progress."

Wanda pointed to some papyrus with wet notes. Before her IQ was lowered, she definitely couldn’t understand Luther’s papyrus, but she didn’t learn artificial intelligence in pure science. A small half of what Se wrote today.

The small part that can be understood is really shocking. According to this trajectory of research, combined with Kryptonian technology, who knows what Luthor can research!

Beta has a headache. In fact, according to her original thinking, she should investigate and hand it over to the local Superman to solve it. However, the Luthor conspiracy was originally aimed at Superman, so it must have something to do with Superman.

It is not appropriate to hand over this matter at this time.

And according to the warning, Luthor's research meeting would be a disaster for the entire city, and she couldn't afford to bet on a single mistake.

"How about we move these experimental chambers?" Pietro hesitated.

"What are you going to do?" Wanda looked over.

"Let Kurt come, the space door can solve all problems."

No need for others to speak, Beta was the first to deny this proposal, "No, we came here to take a certain risk. If we move the experimental chamber blatantly, it will easily drag the entire mutant group into the water. Don't forget Lu Standing behind Ser is the military, once we get caught, the efforts of the professor and father for so many years will come to naught, we can't afford to bet."

As she explained, her thinking became clearer and her mind gradually calmed down. She did have a solution, which could solve the problem and benefit herself. There was only one problem. Beta would expose the identity of the angel judge in front of several brothers and sisters.

The timing still wasn't right, but she now believed they would keep it a secret if she asked.But before making such a big decision that might push herself to the front, Beta wanted to sort out the mess of her own thinking.

"Put it here first. Luthor's IQ can't be returned to him. I'll put it aside and make a decision after I think about it. Maybe there is a better solution? If it doesn't work, we can also tell Batman and Superman."

Beta didn't give a clear answer, but her tone was firm. She didn't like making decisions, but once she made a decision, she didn't like being rejected.

"So we put these here?" Pietro asked, pointing to the experimental chamber.

Wanda was also a little worried, "Won't Luthor find out that someone has been here?"

Beta shook his head, making sure that he had taken away enough IQ. More importantly, Lex Luthor's style had always been quite authoritarian. As long as he had no doubts, his assistant Moxie would not take the initiative to do anything other than what he arranged.

So don't worry that someone will find something wrong with the monitoring during this time.

Lorna still didn't speak. She just turned her head and took a deep look at the laboratory when she was about to leave. Under Beta's worried gaze, she explained sparingly, "I hate laboratories, and I hate laboratories that study the human body even more. .”

Beta didn't ask why, but just looking at the situation of the fraternity, [-] out of [-] members have experienced tragic experiences, and there are countless mutants rescued from the laboratory. It is estimated that [-]% of the members are not familiar with the laboratory.

What a good impression.

They swept their tails clean and returned to Xavier College, and the Nightcrawler, who acted as the driver again, picked them up and hurried back. It didn't take long for Eric to solve the affairs piled up by the fraternity and come to Xavier College, completely unaware of his children Colluded to go shopping in the metropolis.

Beta left the IQ donut in her room, and now there's no final proof they ever went out.

In the afternoon, Beta was a little out of her mind. The first thing she found was the friends who accompanied her on the adventure. Lorna seemed to want to talk to her at first, but she gave up after observing carefully for a while. I don’t know what made her change her decision. She was lying out on the lawn basking in the sun while Jack went to play chess with Charles.

At this time, she will always think of Bruce first.

When she realized it, she had already dialed the familiar number.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

once, twice, three times

The anxiety caused by no answer faded away with repeated attempts. Her lips were bitten and turned white but she didn't know it. The hand holding the phone slowly tightened, and the worry was unstoppable.

She tried all contact methods, Bruce's, Batman's, encrypted, unencrypted...

No one has any response!

She didn't know when it started, her fingers were trembling, and she finally made a final attempt—to dial the number of Wayne Manor, and Alfred would definitely answer it.

"This is Wayne Manor, may I help you?"

Alfred's voice came from over there, compared to the previous two days full of energy, now he looked tired and sleepy, Beta's heart skipped a beat,

"Ah Fu is me, Beta, is Bruce there? I called him and there is no news."

There was a long silence over there, and Beta could only hear shallow breathing for a long time. She had a bad premonition. Suddenly, she slapped her head and remembered the crocodile man she had thrown into the sewer, and finally understood what she had done that day. forgot what!

"Is it because of the crocodile people?"

Beta's hand holding the phone also began to tremble. She didn't want to hear a definite answer, but the only villain who was completely out of Batman's expectation and could seriously hurt him was the crocodile.

As long as it is replaced by other people, Batman who will at least get some wind will not be caught off guard, let alone lose contact suddenly.

Ah Fu's silence is no less than a certain degree of Ling Chi. Now she is beginning to wonder whether she can really do anything with her recklessness, and reflects on her name during this period.

In fact, it is abhorrent that the series of drifting behaviors that always want to hide themselves are abhorrent.

She is very capable, and she can obviously do more.

But she didn't, and Bruce is now out of touch.

"Is there any progress now?" Beta realized that her voice suddenly became so hoarse when she opened her mouth. She denied it just after she finished speaking, "Forget it, I'm going to Wayne Manor now."

Ah Fu's voice came from over there, accompanied by a sigh, still kind, and didn't blame Beta for her reckless mistake.

"Don't blame yourself, Miss Beta, it's not your fault. It's the crocodile who did all of this. In fact, from the first day the master put on the suit, we are all ready to end suddenly one day. .”

Beta's tone was firm, "No, it was my fault. I provoked the crocodile man, but I kept hiding myself, which made Bruce a scapegoat. Even if it wasn't for Bruce, my behavior itself was problematic. After a while See you at Wayne Manor."

After hanging up the phone with Ah Fu, Beta went back to her room as quickly as possible, settled her body, and flew out of her body to Gotham with her familiar soul.

Wanda raised her head to look at the sky if she felt something, but unfortunately, Beta was very fast and had no specific shape when flying, so she didn't find anything except the light blue sky.
