Chapter 1051: Confession Bureau (2)

"Just as the alliance guessed, the true ruler of Biarriya is not the royal family there, but the current emperor's queen."

As Megan spoke, she connected herself and everyone in the room telepathically, and transmitted the image of the queen bee to them.

She was a very charming mature woman, wearing a sleeveless, off-the-shoulder long dress with a distinctively Biarriya style. The dress was form-fitting but not tight, yet it still revealed her graceful figure. Her wheat-colored shoulders were covered by a semi-transparent white gauze, making her figure appear even more alluring.

Her jet-black hair was gathered behind her head with a gold headband bearing a special logo, which, combined with the sharp gold earrings on her earlobes, created a unique sense of mystery.

"The Queen Bee possesses powerful mind control abilities. Although she cannot control psychic beings like me, she can control ordinary people or superhumans who do not have such abilities."

"So, the Queen Bee used this ability to control Biarriya?" Robin opened the microcomputer, wanting to record the Queen Bee's information based on Megan's dictation.

However, just as Robin turned on the microcomputer, Yang Le, who had somehow appeared beside him, closed it.

"This?" Robin frowned, not understanding why Yang Le would do this.

“I already mentioned Robin.” Yang Le shook his head. “What happens tonight must be kept secret. Of course, this secrecy isn’t permanent, but it must at least remain secret until the plan is completed.”

“A plan?” Garfield asked. “What plan?”

“A plan to capture members of the Illuminati.” Yang Le revealed a mysterious smile. He originally wanted to keep him in suspense, but it seemed that if he didn’t reveal something useful soon, Robin would definitely report it to the Justice League when he wasn’t paying attention.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Le's words, the children's expressions changed immediately.

Since the Cadmus Institute, the Illuminati has frequently appeared in Justice League discussions. After a series of events, the threat level of the Illuminati has not diminished over time, but has instead continued to rise.

After continuous discussions, the Justice League concluded that the Illuminati is a terrifying organization composed of multiple leaders of the criminal underworld, and that its threat level may be second only to the alien invaders—Apokolips.

The Young Justice League has clashed with the Illuminati several times. Although it's not explicitly stated, the children all consider them their rivals and will definitely bring the Illuminati to justice whenever they have the chance.

Now that Yang Le was saying there was a chance to arrest members of the Illuminati, even the impatient Garfield suppressed his temper and listened attentively.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Yang Le said to Megan, "Let's continue, Megan."

Megan wiped away her tears, and the brief pause allowed her to compose herself, her tone becoming much calmer.

"The Queen Bee knew my Martian identity and my secret. She used this to blackmail me into joining the Justice League with Martian Manhunter and becoming her mole. You all know what happened next."

"Because I failed the test arranged by the Justice League, I joined the Junior Justice League and we've been fighting side by side ever since."

Megan suddenly became agitated, and she growled in a hoarse voice.

"Although I am a spy, I have never leaked any information about the Justice League or the Young Justice League. I can guarantee that. I can even share all my memories with you!"

Connor hugged Megan tightly. He wanted to comfort her with words, but the thought of his own awkward position made him feel awkward, so he could only express himself through his body. The children looked at each other for a moment, and then Robin, as the leader, stepped forward.

"We believe in you, Megan, not because of the assurances you're making now, but because of all the times we've worked together. I believe your performance during this time has not been faked."

“My mom is a recognized leading lady in the entertainment industry; she can tell at a glance whether someone has acting skills or not,” Garfield chimed in.

“But she trusted me to join you, so I don’t think there are any bad people here, including you, Megan. You’re definitely not a bad guy.”

After hearing her teammate's words, Megan could no longer hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes once again. Seeing this, Connor once again buried Megan in his arms and kept comforting her with soft words.

The children then gathered around the couple, some whispering words of comfort to Megan, others patting Connor on the shoulder, simply looking at each other with trust in their eyes without saying a word.

After a while, once Megan had calmed down, Yang Le stepped forward at the opportune moment.

“Megan, this is a good opportunity. If you reveal the secrets that the Queen Bee possesses now, she will no longer be able to control you.”

Megan froze upon hearing this. This was a secret she desperately wanted to keep hidden, especially from her close companions and her beloved Connor.

"It's okay, Megan." Connor gently pushed Megan out of his arms so that he could see her eyes.

"No matter what you become, I love you, Meghan, not your appearance."

Megan looked at Connor with disbelief, and from his eyes she understood everything, and said in shock.

"You knew all along? But why?"

“Do you remember when we fought the Brain Demon together in Biarriya?” Connor rubbed Megan’s head. “That time, we had a deeper connection. Although it wasn’t my choice, it also allowed me to see what you had buried deep in your heart.”

"Now you know, Megan, I accepted you after I knew everything about you."

"Trust your companions, Megan," Yang Le pressed on. "These people aren't superficial; they're all trustworthy companions. Rather than letting your secret become a weapon for your enemies to threaten and harm you, let it become a bond that unites you even more."

With encouragement from her lover, companions, and mentors, Megan's initial fear and hesitation gradually hardened. She took a deep breath, pushed Connor away, and decided to show her most authentic self to the public.

With a twisting motion, Megan's petite body gradually swelled and elongated, becoming larger than everyone else present, and her skin changed from green to deathly pale.

Its hands and feet had changed from five fingers to two fingers, its arms were longer than its ankles and touched the ground, and its body was covered with spikes, making it look like a monster that had stepped out of a horror movie.

Honestly, if Megan walked down the street in her real body, she would definitely be mistaken for a bad person.
