Chapter 2907 When Night Falls (Twenty-Five)

"Brother." The black-haired Latino girl wanted to call out to the figure walking in front of her. She took two quick steps and walked through the dark passage to approach her dear brother.

But her brother did not stop to wait for her as usual. Instead, he slowed down, stood there silently, and lowered his head slightly.

"I sensed that you were in danger." Jenna said in a tearful voice, "For a moment, I even thought you were dead. Are you..."

"Dear Jenna." The slightly deep voice of the young man echoed in the silent corridor. Jenna heard her brother say, "Don't ask a question you already know the answer to. We have always been so in tune with each other, right?"

The tears finally flowed down, and the petite girl squatted on the ground, sobbing, and then she heard her brother say again.

"Now is not the time to cry. Wait until the trial is over and the guillotine is on my neck."

"No! No!" Jenna screamed like crazy, "You can't die! You can't...you can't leave me alone! We clearly agreed to be together forever!"

Jenna finally couldn't stand it anymore, she stood up, rushed over and hugged Zan from behind, crying and saying, "We have never been apart since we left home. When you said you wanted to go on patrol, I was a little worried. I should have stopped you at that time!"

Schiller, who was controlling Zan's body, turned around, pulled Jenna into his arms, and gently stroked her head and back.

Jenna could not feel any of his body temperature, as if she was hugging a stone, but such gentle movements made her feel warmer than the temperature of blood.

"I won't let them kill you." Jenna said, "Even if you become a vampire, you are still my brother, and you haven't done anything, right? They can't judge you!"

"Don't say that, Jenna, have you forgotten the oath you made when you joined the Justice League?"

Jenna pushed her brother away and said through gritted teeth: "Yes, I said I would dedicate my life to a just cause, but they didn't even give us this opportunity. They always treated us as children and errand boys!"

Jenna's eyes were filled with tears, and many emotions burst out at once. She looked at the crowd with squinting eyes and said, "No one here respects us, because they think we have no one to rely on, and we have to join for the resources and equipment here. We are thieves who eat for free!"

Schiller frowned and said, "No, Jenna, don't say that. They think we are young, so..."

"Age? Come on, we are aliens, why would we talk about age with Earthlings?! Besides, is Superman really that old? What about Green Lantern? Didn't Batman also become a superhero in his early 20s?"

Jenna wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said, "You used to comfort me like this, but don't try to fool me now, especially that Green Lantern. He spent half an hour debugging the security system by himself, but sent you out on patrol. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't..."

She pursed her lips tightly, and then couldn't help biting her lower lip and said, "What have we done here? We serve them tea, run errands, and do some insignificant little jobs, and now they want to hurt you... No matter what they want to do to you, I will never agree!"

She took two steps forward and stared at him, saying, "You're not going to turn yourself in, are you?! Are you crazy??? They are all very angry now, especially Hal. They might want to execute you!"

"What else can I do?" Schiller shook his head, as if he had resigned himself to his fate. He said, "Someone at the headquarters has been attacked. They will definitely investigate one by one. I don't think I can hide it from them. Once I am identified as the murderer, I am afraid that my death will come."

"But it wasn't you at all. You have an alibi!"

"Do you think they still care about evidence now?"

Jenna took a deep breath and said, "That won't work either. You can't turn yourself in, and you can't admit to something you didn't do. You taught me that before."

Schiller turned around and tried to leave, but Jenna grabbed his arm and said, "You can't give up hope. We can keep it a secret for as long as we can. If you really want to suck blood... you can suck mine."

Schiller shook his head and said, "I won't hurt you, Jenna, but you are right about one thing. If it weren't for this patrol, I wouldn't have been ambushed."

Jenna's brows furrowed in an instant, because she heard the hint in her brother's tone. She said hesitantly, "Did you encounter an ambush? This is probably not a coincidence."

"About 20 minutes ago, someone sounded the emergency alarm. Superman said on the radio that someone was attacked and asked us to rush over immediately, but soon said not to go out for the time being, especially not alone."

"I was getting restless waiting in the room, so I wanted to call you to remind you, but I left my phone in another room, and Superman wouldn't let us go out."

"If the attack hadn't delayed us, perhaps I would have been able to remind you and you wouldn't have been bitten. The timing of the attack was too coincidental. Could it be that someone already knew you had an accident and made a fuss here to delay us?"

Schiller seemed a little frustrated. He said: "It's no use talking about this now."

"No!" Jenna walked around in front of him again and stopped him, saying, "This proves that there is another vampire in the headquarters now, otherwise he wouldn't be able to launch the attack at such a precise time. As long as we find him, others will not care about you!"

Schiller praised the "clever girl" in his heart, but said hesitantly: "But how can we find him out? He disguised himself so well..."

"The vampire's weakness is obvious. Perhaps using sunlight and the holy weapon..."

Schiller then shook his head and said, "Can you believe it? I am not afraid of the sun or the holy vessels either."

Jenna was obviously a little surprised. She looked around Schiller and said, "How is this possible? Aren't all vampires afraid of sunlight and holy objects?"

"I have a special power in me," Schiller explained, using a line from Doctor Strange. "It seems to have been given to me by the person who transformed me, and it makes me not afraid of the things that vampires are afraid of."

"Then no one can prove that you are a vampire?" Jenna's eyes widened, but then she became dazed and said, "If you can live in the sun and are not afraid of the cross, then what is the difference between you and before?"

"I can only survive by drinking blood."

"Oh, yes!" Jenna said as if she suddenly realized something. "Even though vampires are not afraid of the sun and the cross, their thirst for blood cannot be concealed. Perhaps we can use this to our advantage..."

Schiller shook his head again and said, "If I really wanted blood that badly, I would have bitten you just now."

Jenna was confused again. She thought about it carefully and then speculated: "A person who has just eaten will not be hungry. People will only show a desire for food when they are very hungry. In other words, if you want to expose the vampire, you have to make him hungry."

Then she looked at her brother and said, "Are you hungry now?"

Schiller shook his head. Jenna calculated that if her brother had been attacked during his patrol, it might have been less than an hour now, so it was normal that he was not hungry.

But it is impossible for him to never be hungry. The metabolism of vampires should not be slower than that of humans. If they only suck blood once every few decades, then they are basically no threat to humans, and it would be enough to donate blood to them on a voluntary basis.

The reason why the conflict between humans and vampires is so acute is that vampires eat too much. A tiger can last for three days after eating one meal, but they eat one meal per person, three meals a day. No other race can afford to provide them with that. This has led to an irreconcilable conflict between humans and vampires.

After figuring this out, Jenna thought back to the previous attack. Although she had not yet been to the meeting room and did not know the specific circumstances of the attack, Jenna guessed that the attack might have occurred because the vampires hiding in the headquarters were hungry?

Then Jenna thought that the plan of using the vampire's appetite to force him to reveal the truth was a good one, but it was basically impossible for her to carry it out because she couldn't lock everyone up together and no one in the Justice League would listen to her.

It is no use going to Superman and Wonder Woman either, as they don't have absolute say and can be easily led by the nose.

Suddenly a name flashed through Jenna's mind.

"I know!" Jenna raised her voice and said, "I will call Batman, tell him the plan and invite him to come. The reason is also ready. The Justice League headquarters has been attacked. How can Batman, as the leader, not come?"

Schiller couldn't help but admire her in his heart. This girl was indeed smart and clever, but she still lacked some knowledge of people.

So he pretended to be talking casually and said, "With something this serious happening, Batman will definitely come. If you call him, he might overhear you. It's better to send a message."

Jenna suddenly realized what was going on. She immediately jumped up and hung on Schiller, saying happily, "That's right, I should send him a message. Batman is so smart, he will definitely understand it at a glance."

"He can find a reason to lock everyone in the conference room for dozens of hours. Then we can use the opportunity of going to the toilet to let you drink my blood so that you won't be hungry. That guy doesn't have an ally like me. If there is any accidental bloody incident, he will definitely be furious!"

Jenna immediately took out her cell phone and started editing the message. Schiller leaned over to take a look, and then he found that this girl was smarter than he thought. The message she sent to Batman was in plain language, but she never mentioned what plan she had come up with.

She just told Batman one possibility, that is, the attack might be because the vampire was hungry, and there was no blood for him to suck in the entire headquarters, so he went crazy and attacked people.

In fact, this speculation is a bit too naive, because now neither of them knows the specific circumstances of the attack. It is also possible that the person who was attacked was not bitten, or that the other party had planned it in advance rather than committing a crime of passion.

But Jenna made good use of one of her advantages, that is, she is young, the same age as Robin, and can be considered a junior to other heroes in the Justice League, so even if she made some naive and unreliable guesses, she would only be regarded as immature.

Batman is especially tolerant of teenagers of this age. Maybe at first glance, this guess is a bit too simple, but when you think that it was guessed by the younger sister of the Wonderful Twins, and that she is about the same age as Robin, it won't be strange.

And Batman is very smart. He may have thought of the problem of vampire food a long time ago, but he just lacked a layer of window paper to break through, or in other words, he lacked someone to explain the matter openly. Jenna gave him a good reason.

Batman, who was standing in the Justice League meeting room, put away the communicator in his hand, cleared his throat and said.

"I think we should really have a good discussion about the traitors within the Justice League."
