Chapter 837: Wood's Brief Enlightenment

Anyone who knows about haunted houses knows that they must be built in a dark and narrow space in order to create an atmosphere. Interstellar also needs to be in a dark space throughout in order to simulate outer space.

The dream route is because you occasionally have to enter various manufactured scenes, like dragon lairs, dwarf caves, etc. Although these scenes are not pitch dark, the light is not sufficient, and if you are not careful enough, you can easily overlook many things.

Originally, according to Dick's grouping, they were divided into four groups. Three groups went to investigate the place where the people disappeared, and the remaining group was responsible for visiting several other suspicious locations.

But after Batman's regrouping, only three groups remained of the original four, and their progress had to slow down.

Finally, they decided that Group A, consisting of Connor and Megan, would be responsible for the most dangerous haunted house, Group B would consist of Dick and Aquaman, and Happy would be responsible for the water-filled and longest Dream Route, and Group C would consist of Wally and Courtney, and Plastic Man would be responsible for the shortest and fastest Interstellar Crossing.

This allocation was also carefully considered. The two people in Group A's eyesight is basically not affected by the darkness, the young man in Group B can dive into the water to check, and Wally in Group C can keep up with the high-speed roller coaster.

Basically, each group has someone who can play to their strengths. This was also the consideration Dick made after seeing the information, and Batman did not make any changes later.

The three groups of people headed towards their respective mission areas with their tasks. The first to arrive was of course Group A, which was the first to enter the amusement park and had the fastest overall speed.

With the help of super VIP tickets, the members of the Young Justice League do not need to queue, and Group A only needs to wait for the previous wave of people to come out.

After all, a haunted house requires an atmosphere. It will not be so scary if there are too many people in the place, so the authorities must limit the number of people entering.

With dim lighting, a cramped environment, and a small number of people, basically everyone thought that this was the place that would most easily lure kidnappers to take action, so this most dangerous place was naturally assigned to Group A.

Megan reported the situation of her group on the mental channel, and then sat in the rest area with Connor and waited. Although the latter no longer frowned, he was still taciturn.

"Shouldn't the man be the one to start the conversation? At the very least, he should go get some ice cream or some snacks, right?"

Of course, Megan doesn’t really understand these things. She just saw them on TV shows.

Megan was a little angry. Although the two of them were on a mission, she also admitted that she shouldn't bring impure thoughts into the mission, but she just felt so angry!
"Hmph!" Megan snorted in dissatisfaction, attracting Connor's attention.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Connor and Megan were not on the same wavelength. His mind was full of things related to the mission. When he heard his companion's voice, he couldn't help but look around.

Megan looked at Connor's silly look, and then thought of herself just now and couldn't help laughing. The speed of the mood change made Connor stunned.

"What's going on?" Connor asked humbly. If it were someone else, he would have been fed up with her long ago, but he always had a lot of patience with Megan. He deduced that it might be because she had been playing games with him for several months.

But his brother Habib told him that this was not the case. Habib pointed out that the daily interactions over the past few months had planted a seed in Connor's heart that would sprout at the right time.

Connor immediately asked what the seed was, sounding incredibly mysterious. He wanted Harpy to explain it more clearly, but Harpy insisted that such things couldn't be explained, and that Connor would have to wait until he discovered it himself. Connor felt a lingering sense of being overwhelmed by the Riddler, but even so, Harpy wouldn't tell him directly.

As early as when he watched "Young Justice", his favorite one-on-one CP was Connor and Megan, but these two guys always played the American version of "I Want to Drive You Crazy to Death", and both sides used a lot of confusing tricks during the process of falling in love.

Connor stepped on Megan's landmine, and Megan also touched Connor's reverse scale. The two broke up and got back together because of this, which made Yang Le feel very uncomfortable. When he was young, he even greeted the screenwriter of DC because of this.

Therefore, Habib felt that he could interfere a little bit in the relationship between the two people. Of course, this interference did not refer to the large-scale, direct guidance type. What he wanted to do was to influence the two people subtly.

Because Connor is a clone, he is slow to accept everything. It is difficult for him to trust someone directly, and he often has something on his mind. Connor always feels that he is different from others.

The difference is not that he thinks he is superior to others. On the contrary, he is a little inferior. It was not until he met Shao Zheng that he became much better and became a young man with a cold appearance and a warm heart.

As for Megan, she is not even as good as Connor in terms of feelings. Her hidden identity as a White Martian has also brought her more inferiority complex. She really feels that she is not as good as others.

Therefore, she attaches great importance to what others think of her, and regards feelings as more important than her life. As a result, she has done many wrong things, such as tampering with Connor's memory.

Because of his origin, the tampering of memory and the interaction of psychic abilities are Connor's Achilles' heel. It was also because of this incident that Connor and Megan broke up, allowing a certain fishman to take advantage of the situation.

Yang Le doesn't like to see this kind of NTR thing happen. This kind of thing must be stopped. The first person to be affected is Connor. Yang Le wants him to realize earlier that Megan is different from others in his heart.

So he used a riddle to leave a little trick in Connor's mind, making him always focus on Megan. In this way, he might discover his own thoughts earlier and more directly than in the original book.

As for Megan, she will need further guidance, at least until she takes the initiative to reveal her identity as a White Martian.

Now it was just as Habib had thought. Because of what Connor said, he kept thinking about Megan, so he could notice the subtle changes in Megan's mood, and also noticed that it seemed that Megan was like this because of him.

Young Connor didn't know how to solve the problem, but he knew how to learn, so he turned his gaze away from Megan and looked at several men and women who were like them.

He found that these paired men and women were basically obsessed with each other. He was not quite used to this way of getting along that broke the safe distance, so he chose another niche approach.

Connor immediately stood up and walked to the food cart nearby under Megan's surprised gaze, bought an ice cream, and handed it to Megan, who was full of surprise.

"For you." Connor's tone didn't change, but Megan's surprised expression did make him a little excited.
