Chapter 3046 Mercury Record (Thirty-two)
Schiller was not in favor of demolishing and investigating Blue Beetle.
As a teacher, Schiller could understand that the first generation Blue Beetle gave this thing to Ted not only to enhance Ted's strength, but also because he felt that the students he taught could manage such dangerous goods well and use them to benefit society. This was not only a gift but also a responsibility.
Destroying it would certainly be a permanent solution, but it would certainly be better to have such a powerful force in our own hands.
Especially since Blue Beetle has comprehensive abilities and almost no shortcomings. Although Ted is still too young and a little reckless, he has good character and can become an excellent superhero in time. It would be a pity to give up on him like this.
It is not advisable to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs when faced with a crisis.
So now, it doesn’t really matter what the truth is. The key is to come up with a set of answers that can convince everyone, which can both explain how Bonu was killed and restore Zan’s innocence, so as to eliminate the contradiction.
Schiller then looked at Zan and said, "Tell me what happened to you first. Be sure to tell the truth. Don't hide anything. Just tell the facts. Don't add your own speculations."
At this time, Jenna held her brother's hand across the cage and said, "Don't worry, brother, no one can wrong you with me here."
Jenna seemed to say more through telepathic communication. Zan managed to calm himself down. He took a deep breath and began to tell his story.
There is no problem with the timeline found through surveillance investigation, and Zan was indeed the last one to arrive at this floor.
The problem is that he was knocked unconscious as soon as he arrived on this floor.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, the door closed, so from the screen it looked like he walked out of the elevator and walked towards the classroom, but in fact, as soon as the elevator door closed, he was in the blind spot of the surveillance for a while.
According to his own description, he saw a blue light, and then he knew nothing. When he woke up, he found himself in the utility room.
The small classroom and the utility room are opposite each other, and they are in the blind spot of the surveillance after the elevator door is closed. He should have been knocked unconscious in front of the elevator door and then dragged into the utility room.
Because he was the last one to arrive, and when he arrived, everyone else was concentrating on searching for things in the room, so there were no witnesses to his fainting.
When he woke up, he was still a little dazed, but at that time he heard a sound coming from outside the utility room, so he pushed the door open and went out to check.
At this time, Claude and Gonzalez had already left. The elevator did not stop on this floor, and the elevator door was closed. Zan's series of actions were also within the blind spot of the surveillance.
After opening the door, he found that the noise was not in the corridor, but in the small classroom opposite.
Here comes the key point, Zan is not as smart as his sister, but he is more cautious than his sister, and he is very self-aware and knows that he is not strong enough and not outstanding. If someone comes after him, it must not be targeting him in essence.
So he concluded that the attack was the prelude to a conspiracy. In order to prevent himself from falling into a deeper trap, he chose to take a more cautious approach, which was to use his ability to turn into water.
Zan turned into water in the blind spot of the surveillance camera in the corridor and flowed into the small classroom through the crack of the door, but as soon as he entered, he found that something was wrong and his body was out of control.
According to his own account, Bonu somehow controlled him with his water control ability.
Zan was panicked now, because he had been attacked before and he didn't see clearly what attacked him. Now when they met, Bonu controlled him again, and he thought it was Bonu who attacked him.
But he couldn't change back for a while, and he couldn't speak in this form. Moreover, Bonu's ability to control water was very strong. Zan struggled for a long time and couldn't break free, so he became even more panicked.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Bonu's control over him weakened. He had no other choice but to fight to the death and rushed towards Bonu's chest in the form of water.
He did not intend to kill the Atlantean woman because he knew that the Atlanteans were protected by water currents and that at most he could knock her off balance.
But for some reason, Bonu suddenly stiffened, and the water shield attached to her body did not work. The water flow of Zan's incarnation went straight through her chest and killed Bonu.
This is why there was no murder weapon, because the murder weapon was Zan himself. And the reason why there were no signs of a fight was because the two people had no physical contact at all. As soon as Zan entered the door, he was controlled and floated in the air, and then turned into a stream of water and was killed in one blow.
After Zan finished speaking, of course everyone noticed that something was wrong, because the surveillance footage showed that Zan went straight to the classroom after getting off the elevator. Even if he did pass through a blind spot of the surveillance, he eventually arrived at the classroom, and the surveillance cameras in the classroom captured him.
And several other suspects also said that they did see Zan, and saw it with their own eyes.
If he had been in the utility room, then who was that like they saw?
Schiller gave an unexpected but reasonable answer - it was a projection made by the Blue Beetle.
Although the students had never seen the Blue Beetle's abilities, and Schiller himself had actually never seen it either, seeing how confidently he spoke, the students naturally thought that the professor must have seen it before, and they did not doubt it.
Schiller stated his own inference.
He used the holographic screen in front of him to call up a surveillance video, which was a video of Blue Beetle, Ted and the Atlantis sisters coming to this floor together.
They were walking out of the elevator, and some dispute occurred before the elevator door closed. The last image captured by the surveillance camera was of them standing at the elevator door arguing.
The content of the argument was naturally whether to go to the small classroom first or the large classroom first, and the result, of course, was that they went to the large classroom first.
But they obviously had not finished arguing when the elevator door closed. In other words, when the elevator door closed, forming a blind spot for surveillance, they were still standing there and did not move forward.
And through the recording function of the corridor camera, it can be judged that they stood in the blind spot of the corridor surveillance for about 20 to 30 seconds to discuss whether to go to the small classroom.
This period of time gave Blue Beetle the opportunity to break away from Ted.
Although this beetle is relatively small, the surveillance camera is high-definition enough. If you stand under the surveillance camera and crawl down Ted's body, you will definitely be discovered.
But using this time, it could easily break away from Ted and enter the utility room where there were no surveillance cameras.
When Zan left the elevator, there was a sound when the elevator door closed. Once the elevator door closed, a blind spot for surveillance was formed in front of the elevator door. At this time, the blue beetle crawled out again, knocked Zan down directly, and dragged him into the utility room as well.
He used energy technology to create a projection identical to Zan and entered the classroom. As long as he moved quickly, there would be almost no time difference.
It used the cover of the projection to enter the large classroom, stayed with several other people, and stayed until the end.
Bono, Claude, and Gonzalez all left the large classroom and headed for the small classroom, leaving only Blue Beetle and his projection in the large classroom.
At this time, the small blue beetle climbed to the edge of the window with the help of the messy boxes in the large classroom. Under the cover of the box that blocked a corner of the window, it passed through the glass and came to the small classroom.
At this time, Claude and Gonzalez had already left, and Bono was the only one left in the small classroom.
Although Blue Beetle could have attacked Bonuo directly at this time, it went to so much trouble to disguise itself as Zan just to drag Zan into the water, so it chose not to do it itself, but to let the two of them conflict.
Schiller speculated that the Blue Beetle most likely climbed onto Bonu while she wasn't paying attention, or at least got very close to her, and then attacked her with its energy technology, but this attack was not fatal, it just made Bonu alert and suspicious.
At this time, Zan, who had turned into a ball of water, sneaked in through the crack of the door. The people of Atlantis were very sensitive to water. Bono, who had just been hit by something unknown, thought that Zan was the attacker and controlled him with one move.
As mentioned before, Zan had been attacked before, and Bonu attacked him without saying a word, which made him think that Bonu was the attacker, and the two of them confronted each other.
Zan was no match for Bonu and was completely controlled at the beginning. But there was a troublemaker on Bonu's body. After the interference of the Blue Beetle, Bonu's control was weakened.
Bonu was too strong and put too much pressure on Zan. When he finally had the chance to resist, Zan had no choice but to fight to the death.
At this time, the Blue Beetle showed its fangs, and it directly cooperated with Zan to attack Bonu together.
Don't underestimate the Blue Beetle because of its small size. After all, it is a weapon made by an advanced alien civilization. Although Bono is strong, he is only prominent among the students and is still not as good as a real strong one.
One was in the open, one was in the dark, one attacked from the front, one attacked from behind, so she naturally couldn't withstand it. The Blue Beetle broke through Bono's defense, and Zan rushed towards her with a stream of water, taking her life.
After Bono's death, how could Zan not panic? He didn't even dare to touch the body, and hurried to the utility room opposite to contact his sister telepathically.
Jenna was still in class at the time and there were people all around her. Fortunately, she had good emotional control and no one noticed anything, but she still quickly asked her brother to leave first.
After all, it had been confirmed that Bonu was beyond saving, and Jenna instinctively felt that something was wrong from her brother's description. She was worried that there were other dangers at the scene, and if he stayed too long, he would be the next to die, so Jenna told her brother to run away quickly.
The escape route is also very simple. Zan can turn into water. After leaving the utility room, he can flow down directly along the gap of the elevator door and leave this floor without any effort.
Blue Beetle's escape route is also very simple. Although it is small in size, it is not small enough to get through the gap in the elevator, so it can leave the small classroom and enter the utility room, then pass through the glass between the utility room and the distribution room, and follow the smaller surveillance blind spots in the distribution room to the window. Then it can pass through the glass of the distribution room in the same way, enter space, and then return along the outer wall of the building to find Ted.
