In fact, Li Jie was setting a trap for Mike Miller. When they caught Clark Kent, the people of the Illuminati were a little surprised by the memory in his mind.
A person could lie, but there was no way to change his memory, unless his lie could deceive himself and make him believe it was true. What kind of person would believe that Herberlon was his father?
After various tests by various instruments and repeated analysis by the professor, they came to the conclusion that Clark's brain was normal. He was not a psychopath.
So now all the suspicions were focused on Mike Miller. He drew the comics, and he was also the boss of DC Comics. If Herberlon was real, then what was his relationship with Herberlon?
These were all mysteries to be solved. However, the Illuminati had more or less some trouble in dealing with this issue. After all, Mike Miller was a relatively well-known figure. They couldn't just kidnap him like they did with Clark Kent.
Clark was just an ordinary press officer in the astronomy bureau. Even if he disappeared, it would at most be reported to the county police. But Mike Miller was different. Mike Miller was a real New York tycoon. DG Comics was also one of the top entertainment groups in the United States.
Not to mention anything else, Mike Miller had at least a net worth of more than two billion dollars. If such a rich man suddenly disappeared for a day, then the entire New York police force would probably be turned upside down.
So everyone in the Illuminati unanimously decided to deal with this matter in the simplest way. They could extract Mike Miller's words without alerting the various forces.
It was possible to read Mike Miller's brain directly. But the process of reading the brain was always more dangerous. Mike Miller was already an old man. He was not as young and strong as Clark Kent, who could withstand the professor's torment.
So in order to deal with him, the big shots of the Illuminati felt that they still needed to put in some effort. For example, let Li Jie directly pretend to be a profiteer. Then they would provoke him, and then let Professor Charles use the influence of brain hypnosis to make him spit out everything he knew little by little.
This method was the safest, and he could obtain enough information.
And now, Li Jie had successfully angered Mike Miller. If Herberlon was just a virtual character, then as Li Jie said, there was no need to deal with the world's richest man for a virtual character.
Even though many people say that an author has feelings for his characters. But who would use such feelings to fight against the richest man in the world?
In particular, Mike Miller was not just a simple artist and creator. He was also a successful businessman. Just look at the scale of the comic company he founded. Businessmen were always able to handle these matters smoothly. Unless Mike Miller's feelings for Herberlon were particularly sincere. They were like old friends, and they firmly believed that he really existed in this world.
Under the influence of Professor Charles' brainwaves, Mike Miller seemed to be ready to say something.
"You don't understand Hyperion's greatness at all. You haven't even seen with your own eyes what he has paid to save the world! "Mike Miller said in an angry tone.
Li Jie sat in his seat, drinking champagne without any scruples. He shrugged and said with a villain's face, "Let me guess, he probably paid a price to save the world, huh? Fifteen sheets of coated paper? "
What Li Jie was teasing was the recent big event in Herberlon magazine. It seemed to be called something like a cosmic explosion or something? Li Jie didn't pay attention to it.
But it was said that the plot was very nonsensical. It was very low in the audience's evaluation. The price of the comic magazine was very high. All the people who bought the comic said that only the 15 sheets of coated paper printed inside were worth the price of the ticket.
In the face of Li Jie's unscrupulous belittling of Herberlon, Mike Miller was very angry.
"No, he saved the world!" Mike Miller stared into Li Jie's eyes, extremely serious. Although Mike Miller was old, his eyes were still very clear.
"Then why don't you tell me what kind of glorious achievements he has?" Li Jie drank champagne as if he was waiting to listen to a story.
When he heard Li Jie say this, Mike Miller couldn't help but have a look of reminiscence on his face. "That was when I was very young."
"Our world is very chaotic. War, poverty, and hunger are ravaging us all the time. The whole world is divided into two groups, fighting each other for nearly 100 years. The two groups, East and West, oppose each other. Every year, countless people die in the war. Tanks and aircraft bombing, that's all I remember when I was a child. "
Mike Miller's memories also made Li Jie frown slightly. The stories Mike Miller told obviously didn't happen on Earth. At least not on this Earth. Because after the hot weapons war, there hadn't been a 100-year opposing war on Earth. Especially the confrontation between the two groups, although the cold war lasted for a long time, it never developed into a hot war.
Li Jie thought of a possibility: Could Mike Miller and Clark be people from other planes and universes? Li Jie had a Guardian Medal, which allowed him to pass through Earth's half-plane and then use the cracks in the half-plane to enter other planes.
Even now, Li Jie often patrolled the half-plane and hunted things that shouldn't appear in this world. For example, some things that looked like aliens, and some eight-legged tentacle monsters that looked like Cthulhu monsters.
There were also some monsters mentioned in the SCP Foundation. These were all monsters that accidentally came to Earth from other planes. Li Jie's duty was to destroy them and then block the plane passages that shouldn't have appeared.
"Every grain of grain is precious, and every bullet is fatal. People struggled like this for 100 years. Until one day, Herberlon appeared. He was like a savior. He brought his friends, the Supreme Squadron. They came to our world. "At this point, Mike Miller's eyes emitted a glow of disbelief.
"He mediated the war, destroyed our world's nuclear weapons, and saved our world from the brink of destruction. Saving our world from the brink of destruction, the Supreme Squadron, creating more perfect and fair laws and rules for us. Herberlon got all the countries in the world to sit down and talk. "
"He had this ability because he was too powerful. He could easily destroy all the war machines on our entire planet. No army could stop him. But thank God, he was a good man. He helped us, so I spent nearly 20 years of peace. "Mike Miller laughed.
"That was the best time of our world, or at least the best time of our world in my memory. There was no war, production began to recover, everyone could eat and no longer worry about bombs falling from the sky. Art also began to revive at this time. Novels, paintings, music, these things that we didn't dare to be disappointed in during the war appeared again. I became an art student. I thought the days would go on like this forever. "
Mike Miller, who was in high spirits and reminiscing about the good old days, suddenly stiffened.
Li Jie hurriedly asked, "What happened next? Herberlon went back on his word and became the world's most terrifying ruler? "
"Herberlon is great. Don't slander him like this. He shed his last drop of blood for our world. "Mike Miller seemed to be a fanatic of Herberlon.
"So what happened?" Li Jie was suddenly curious. How did Mike Miller and Clark come to this Earth from another plane and live here?
