Chapter 333 The Right Candidate
"I've checked the Internet all over the world, and there's no information." Tony said coldly, he rarely showed such an expression.
Then he slammed the table down: "It's as if the little girl disappeared from this world."
Although he didn't expect to have any information, but when there is really no information at all, he will be more irritable, worried, anxious and fearful, and all kinds of complicated emotions linger in his heart.
A dark light flashed in Clark's eyes standing beside Bruce. He didn't know what happened when he was called to the Justice League at first, but after he knew it, he couldn't control himself and cursed:
"Another bloody clown."
Clark wanted to kill the Joker, but he couldn't before, and he couldn't now that Bruce knew where he was coming from - he would definitely create a gap between them, and that was something he didn't want to see.
Then gradually, he also realized that he couldn't kill the Joker.
At least not by himself.
Clark recalled the conversation he had with Bruce on the day of the confession.
"If you did that, I'd still do the same thing."
Clark shook his head hastily: "I won't, never will."
After the initial anger he realized he shouldn't have done it, but he couldn't turn back.
"Clark, we're not ordinary people, whether we admit it or not," Bruce said slowly.
After hearing about Clark's past experiences, he thought he really needed to say something about it, something that he didn't have time to say.
"We have the ability to go beyond the law and do things with impunity."
"Although the law is not perfect, although the law let the criminals go, it is still the law."
"So, when we cross the law once, can we really restrain ourselves from crossing it again?"
"Even if he is really guilty, his life and death should not be decided by us."
"We're human. You're human, Clark, and human beings are driven by emotion."
"When you have this power, can you really deal with others in public without being disturbed by emotional factors? What do you use to judge his heinous crime? Is it the law?"
"We cannot be both the makers of the law and the judges of the law. That will only create a dictatorship."
"Who did this last time and what kind of ending you and I know."
"No matter how bad the law is, it will not be changed by emotion."
"We can't take that step, Clark."
Bruce's voice was getting lower and lower, but the clarity of his words remained the same.
"Every time I let that lunatic live, I know it's a death sentence for a lot of innocent people, and I blame myself for it, I feel guilty for it."
"I will every time, but a person's life and death should not be decided by us."
"You may have such doubts, killing one person is to save thousands of people..."
"Just one person, isn't it?"
"But all things begin with one."
The clown didn't do anything after kidnapping Rachel once, except for escaping from Arkham, and he didn't do anything after escaping from Arkham, as if he just wanted to escape. Nothing like his style.
But obviously the clown will not stop, now they know that the clown escaped because of his plan, and the previous silence was to perfect this plan.
If the clown doesn't make trouble, then if he makes trouble again, he will do something that will make everyone uncomfortable.
Apart from the fact that Mo Sheng possessed the Infinity Gem which made them have to pay attention to this incident, what is also important is that she has a relationship with each of them, which means that they must also pay attention to this matter emotionally.
As a result, they will be disturbed by emotions and hinder the correct judgment.
Clark couldn't help thinking this when he saw everyone busy with the clown.
—The clown must die.
As long as they rescued the little girl, the Joker was going to die--Bruce wouldn't kill the Joker, he wouldn't, but the Avengers would.
They have no principle of non-killing, they are endorsed by the government and belong to semi-official institutions, and the United States does not have the death penalty throughout the country.
"...Have you ever thought about a question?" Diana said suddenly.
Everyone looked at her after hearing her words.
"To put it bluntly, we will definitely not be able to find the little girl within three days—she seems to be going back in three days, right?" Diana knocked on the table, looking at everyone one by one, her serious expression became even more divine Majestic, "So we have to consider this issue."
"—how to explain it to her relatives and friends?"
No one answered, and a moment of silence filled the entire meeting room, crossing the boundaries of space.
Except for Diana, none of the people present thought about this issue for a while. All they thought about was how to find Mo Sheng as soon as possible, and how to prevent the clown from doing anything that would endanger society.
They all forgot that Mo Sheng has her own life, her own relatives and friends, she belongs to the other side of the ocean, a place that is safe no matter before or after integration.
Diana's question made Tony and the others more aware of the seriousness of the matter - not referring to the issue that needs to be explained to those people, but clearing up extra thoughts and realizing that Mo Sheng is an ordinary person again.
Think about it, they talk about protecting the little girl, training her, or whatever, but they don't think of her as an ordinary person in their subconscious, don't they?They consider her one of their team, don't they?
No matter which team it is, even if there are people with superpowers in the team, they are by no means in the category of ordinary people.
It is true that Mo Sheng can always have infinite gems, but who can be sure about this?Without the infinite gems, she is an ordinary person, an ordinary person living in a safe world, without any danger, and without the awareness of vigilance.
There are many ways to take away the Infinity Gems, but the clown only used one of them - blocking the information transmission channel, and then making Mo Sheng unconscious before she could react.
It's very simple, don't they have a lot of ways?
The Infinity Gem cannot use itself by itself, and cannot give an early warning of danger. It needs people to use it, and since it is used by people, it always needs reaction time.
Even if this time difference is very short, it still exists, and once it is exploited, it will cause serious consequences.
Mo Sheng was involved, she was their responsibility, because if it wasn't for them, she would still be living a stable and peaceful life.
Although the little girl never said it, they should realize that she suffered a lot because of them that she didn't have to.
She is just ordinary.
And ordinary people don't have to save the world.
Especially a child.
Back to the question of explanation, everyone knows that Mo Sheng cannot be directly said to be taken away by the clown, that is the truth, but it must be an illusion, a white lie must be woven.
It is said that concealment cannot be concealed, and there is always a risk of exposure if concealment is concealed, but if the truth can be accepted, who would conceal such a bad way?So even if the leak is more harmful, it has to be concealed.
None of Mo Sheng's friends or relatives knew about it, and no one except her parents and her best friend even knew she was connected to them.
So they can't be the ones to inform, they can't ruin the little girl's life-if she is found out that she has contact with them, she will definitely not be able to live a peaceful life again.
It was like this here, and they didn't want it to be where she belonged.
"Let them think that Mo Sheng is still there." Steve said this, and as soon as Diana asked the question, he calculated the most suitable method at present, "Thinking that Mo Sheng didn't appear on him by accident."
Although even he himself doesn't like this method.
There was silence again, as often happens.
To be honest, everyone wants to solve it like this, but they don't want to solve it like this.
If the worst outcome is Mo Sheng's death, will her relatives and friends accept it?Oh, they didn't tell about it, but can they really not tell at that point?
After telling?How to face those who love her with tears streaming down their faces?Are they eligible to appear in front of those people again?
And if they concealed it well, those people would think that Mo Sheng was fine.But the little girl is really dead, but none of her relatives and friends will pay homage to her. Do they have the heart to have such a situation happen?
And more importantly, they currently have no suitable candidates.
"Who will do this?" Bruce asked first, implying that he had agreed to this approach.
…I have to agree, even if I don’t want to admit it, I have to admit that concealment is the method of least impact.
To make people think that Mo Sheng is still alive, someone needs to pretend to be Mo Sheng. The time of this pretense may be very short or very long.
Everyone knows that the difficulty of pretending to be a person lies in the subconscious behavior of people. This is based on everyone's living habits and cannot be covered up at all.
Especially the little girl's parents, they know very well what their children should be like, especially those small details, if they are discovered by accident... that will have more terrible consequences than telling them now.
Tony is also thinking about this question, he should know who is more suitable to play Mo Sheng than Bruce, and the little girl is more familiar with them.
You need to understand her, and you can't have too obvious subconscious behavior...
Well, just one person can do it.
"I have a choice."
Tony raised his head and said seriously.
"Who?" Diana asked.
"Dawn." Tony said a name, and then explained, "She is Mo Sheng's AI. She has been with Mo Sheng for more than a year. She knows her habits best, and no one will doubt her if she plays the role."
After thinking for a while, everyone felt that this was already the best solution, after all, they really couldn't find a second suitable candidate——
