The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3514 Research on Cats and Dogs (Sixty-two)

John looked a little tired when he walked out of the room. But Schiller knew that reading a little girl's mind would not make him so tired. He might just be thinking of some bad memories.

His wife and daughter died in his arms, and Betty's mother died in front of him. The fear accumulated in Betty's mind was so familiar. It was a terrible torture for John to search for the truth in these emotions.

"Professor Rodriguez, I think we need to talk." John glanced at Schiller and turned to walk towards his office.

Schiller followed him into his office and saw the letter of appointment and medal hanging on the wall of the office.

He is the sheriff of the village where the Yoton family lives. He is affiliated with the town police station, but has a certain degree of freedom in management. Most of the time, he enforces the law independently, but once a major case like this occurs, he still has to listen to the chief of the police station.

John sat down behind his desk, while Schiller looked at the coffee machine. John took off his hat, combed his hair with his hands and said, "If you want coffee, go ahead, but I have to remind you that there is no premium coffee here."

Schiller took two paper cups from the side, poured two cups of hot water from the coffee machine, and placed one in front of John and the other in front of himself.

"I won't hide it from you," Schiller said. "Mr. Jungs, I'm the director of the 11th Department of the KGB. I'm here to see you for both official and personal matters."

Although John was prepared, he was still obviously shocked by this. He stared at Schiller and said, "Are you the KGB? I mean... the Soviet secret service organization?"

Schiller nodded and said, "That's right. But I'm not here on behalf of the Soviet Union, so you don't have to be so nervous."

John licked his lips, swallowed, and said, "I heard you guys slice up aliens..."

"Rumors, they are all rumors." Schiller smiled and said, "In fact, I am here on behalf of the Justice League. Have you heard of the Justice League?"

"I seem to have some impression of it." John frowned slightly, touched his chin and said, "Is it the superhero organization on the East Coast?"

Schiller nodded and said, "Originally this shouldn't have anything to do with you, but recently a group of aliens invaded Metropolis, the city where the Justice League is stationed. One of the aliens is from Superman's hometown, and the other is yours."

John's expression became stiff. He obviously realized something and looked up at Schiller.

"According to our investigation, he should be a Martian named Malafak. In terms of kinship, he is your brother."

"How did you find out?" John couldn't help but ask, "You shouldn't know..."

"There's nothing the KGB shouldn't know." Schiller answered all of John's questions with just one sentence.

Thanks to the KGB's somewhat mysterious reputation, John didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Okay. He came after me, that's for sure. He didn't intend to let me go. And as it happens, I don't want to let him go either."

"After the Justice League learned of your existence, they have been trying to invite you to join. Malafak wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, impersonate you to join the Justice League, find out the secrets of the Earth's defense network, and then dismantle the network from the inside, so that the Kryptonians can launch a large-scale attack."

Schiller's words obviously contained too much information. Many of them were things John had never heard of. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

"We know something about you, Mr. Rongzi. Next, I will open all the information you need to know in my brain, and you can read it directly. This will save a lot of time."

John slowly opened his eyes, looked at Schiller and said, "You mean, you want me to read your mind? You..."

"Don't worry." Schiller looked him in the eyes calmly and said, "I have come into contact with psychics like you. The abilities of the two of you are comparable. This is how we communicated before."

"But aren't you worried that I might see something I shouldn't?"

Schiller saw from John's expression that he was still a little frightened. It seemed that this Martian had also been beaten by reality and decided not to use his superpowers and just be an ordinary earthling.

"You won't see anything you shouldn't see," Schiller said. "Even if you want to look into my heart, you can't do it."

John looked at Schiller again, as if trying to figure out why he was so confident, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see any clues.

"Okay, if you insist." John looked a little frustrated, perhaps thinking that since he had already broken his principles once today, it would be okay to do it again.

Soon, countless data flooded into John's mind. What surprised him was that the data was clearly organized and not as messy as the information in the minds of ordinary people. The order and logic were very smooth, and he didn't need to adjust it himself.

And there is nothing mixed in except useful information, which is almost impossible for the way the human mind works.

John couldn't help but re-examine Schiller, but in the end he explained away all the unreasonable things by saying "he was a KGB agent."

After reading the information silently, John was amazed. He didn't know that the world had changed so much in the past decade or so. There was actually a group of people who silently protected the earth and had built a comprehensive defense network, and they actually successfully resisted the frontal attack of the aliens during this invasion.

John, who knew Malafac, knew how troublesome his crazy brother was. If there was no magic defense network, the Earth would have been in chaos by now with the frontal attack and the rear disturbance.

"I think you could introduce yourself to me, Mr. Rongzi. I think this would be more formal and polite."

"Okay. But you all already know that Malafak is my brother, so I'm afraid there's nothing you don't know." John lowered his head slightly and said, "Ron Rongzi, the alias he used on Earth is John Jones, and he's currently just an ordinary sheriff in Middleton."

"I don't want to talk about my past on Mars. The Martian civilization has been destroyed and poses no threat to the Earth. Malafak's invasion of the Earth was purely due to his own evil. Despite this, I still want to express my apologies."

"No, don't talk about that," Schiller said. "In our investigation, you have been living in a human way for the past few decades, and you have never revealed your differences."

"Yes. My own home has been destroyed, and now the Earth is my home. I don't want to disturb you with my own special abilities. Even if many people don't realize it, I don't want to do this."

Schiller nodded and said, "I understand you. Humans are fragile and easily frightened. Once you reveal your peculiarity, you may be hunted down like a witch in the Middle Ages.

"Even though they may not be able to hurt you, it's never a good thing to be looked at by your former friends and colleagues. The best way is to pretend to be an ordinary person."

"But in fact, Ron, you are not willing to do this." Schiller pointed out, "If you just want to live in obscurity like an ordinary human being, you would not choose to be a policeman."

John, or Ron the Martian Manhunter, intertwined his fingers and twisted them tightly. "I'm a policeman on Mars," he said.

"But being a police officer on Mars is definitely different from being a police officer on Earth. The police station here will not recognize your resume on Mars." Schiller said with a smile, "You will choose to do this just because you want to do it. Or you have a sense of responsibility."

"You know what? The Earth not only took me in, but also helped me get out of the shadow of the past." Ron said, "It was humans who helped me get rid of the painful entanglement. I want to do something to repay you, but I am worried that my uniqueness will scare you, so I can only do it in a human way."

"But actually, I didn't do well enough." Ron sighed and said, "In fact, I had already seen that there was something wrong with that little bastard from the Yotton family. He seemed to be very good to his sister, but actually... I couldn't save Catherine."

"But you saved Betty and Aisha, and you can also choose to join the Justice League to save more people. I think your human friend must have taught you that you don't have to dwell on the past, but should look forward more."

Ron suddenly laughed, and when he looked up at Schiller, there seemed to be tears in his eyes. He said, "You humans are really interesting. You are obviously fragile and powerless, but you always make such difficult things sound easy."

"The key is not what we say, but whether you believe it." Schiller still smiled and said, "The suffering that makes you exile to a foreign land also brings you the opportunity to get rid of the shadow of the past. This is the interdependence of good and bad. Human beings always believe that good things will happen after bad things."

"So many bad things have happened to you in the past that when something good comes one day, you won't be able to immediately realize how it will change you. But if you choose to accept it, one day you will be glad for your choice today."

"Really?"

"Whether you want to join the Justice League is your business. You can think about it carefully and then give me an answer. But it is indeed your responsibility to deal with Malafak. This is the imminent trouble at the moment. You will solve it, right?"

Ron took a deep breath and said, "I can subdue him, but I may need your help. Perhaps you don't know that the Martians have a fatal weakness..."

"You are afraid of fire," said Schiller.

Ron showed a helpless expression. He looked at Schiller and said, "Did you set up a space bureau in the KGB? Why do you know so much about Mars?"

"That's a long story." Schiller gave a standard smile, obviously not wanting to talk more.

"Okay. But I want to tell you that the madman Malafac is not afraid of fire, and he is likely to use this trick against me. Besides, I can easily subdue him."

"What do you think he will do?"

"He has a very deadly virus, so I can't connect with him directly mentally, otherwise I might get poisoned. And if I use physical means, he might hide in the fire or even attack me with fire."

"If we let him show up first, then restrain him for a few seconds, can you subdue him?"

"Control means..."

"Let him freeze there for about two seconds."

"That's totally fine." Ron said, then frowned and said, "But how are you going to make him show up?"

"Of course, prepare a bait." Schiller briefly stated his speculation about Malafac's kidnapping of Betty.

"You mean, he wants to use Betty to torture me?"

Schiller nodded and said, "For this kind of person, pursuing evil desires takes precedence over anything else. Betty being rescued might drive him crazy. And if he is given a chance at this time, he will find ways to kidnap Betty again."

"You want to use Betty as bait? I don't agree!" Ron said firmly, "It's too dangerous!"

"Of course not. Betty is just a normal kid and she needs to rest now. We can let Elsa go."

"Isn't Aisha..."

At this time, Aisha had pushed the door open, ran to Schiller's side, and smiled at Ron - revealing a mouth full of shark-like teeth.
