Chapter 838: Haunted House
Chapter 838: Haunted House
The ice cream is the type that is designed to match the theme of the attraction. The haunted house is built with black chocolate bricks, and the ghosts are made of creamy ice cream. No matter how it tastes, at least it looks good.
Of course, Megan wouldn't be happy simply because the ice cream looked good. She was happy purely because Connor really bought her ice cream as she had imagined.
Just like a real date.
"Thank you!" Megan took the ice cream from Connor, scooped a little ice cream with a shovel-like spoon, and then took a bite carefully.
With its rich cream and cool taste, it’s no wonder that this snack has been so popular for so long. Although Megan ate the ice cream, her face turned red. The ice cream melting in her mouth was so sweet that it touched her heart.
"The next group can go in now!"
The staff shouted at this time, and Connor and Megan immediately came to their senses and hurried to the door of the haunted house. After showing their super VIP tickets to the staff, they didn't need to queue like other people. They entered the haunted house immediately.
I have to say that Xinxing Amusement Park is indeed wealthy. The scenes are built with great care and full of details. Even the ghost sign at the door is exquisite.
The carved ghost seemed to be able to come alive at any moment, its mechanically moving eyeballs scanning everyone present.
As Connor and Megan entered the hall, they were immediately struck by the style of the scene. The dilapidated Western-style buildings formed a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle outside, and a gate seemed to divide the two worlds.
After just a moment of daze, Connor and the other came to their senses immediately. They were simply shocked by the exquisite scenery. After all, one was an alien and the other was a clone. They didn't know much about human society and were indeed easily attracted by new things.
But it was only for a moment, and the two quickly recovered. Now that they had entered the investigation site, they could no longer speak freely like they did outside. This was when Megan's importance was reflected.
In order not to interfere with the main force, Megan temporarily cut off Group A's contact with everyone, reducing the number of people in the channel to just the two of them.
This was also discussed by the Young Justice League. After all, unlike the original, they now have two psychics in the team, and Happy can also build a psychic channel for everyone to communicate like Megan did.
Of course, Hobby's coverage is far less extensive than Megan's, and he can't even cover the entire Nova Amusement Park, but the mission locations of Group B and Group C are relatively close, so Hobby can temporarily replace Megan's position.
This is also one of the reasons why Dick and Batman can be completely assured of letting the two people in Group A go alone.
'Okay, so where do we start?'
Connor looked at Megan beside him. If he didn't count the incident when he and the Young Justice League caused trouble at the Cadmus Institute, he had never been on a mission. After being rescued, he had been staying in Mount Justice.
As for Megan, she had gone on several missions under the care of the Martian Hunter. Although she was also a rookie, she was at least much better than the inexperienced one herself.
“Hmm…” Megan held her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped her head.
"Oh! Megan! I think we should enjoy ourselves first."
"Let's go around the haunted house first. We should familiarize ourselves with the terrain first, right?"
Connor's ears and brain received the message at the same time. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that what Megan said was a disguise, and the words conveyed by her psychic ability were the truth.
Before they came, Dick had told them that normal haunted houses are equipped with surveillance to prevent unexpected situations, although Batman had checked and found that the boss behind the Nova Amusement Park was a man with a very clean background.
However, most villains were clean people before they fell into the abyss, which did not prevent them from choosing the wrong path at the crossroads of life. Batman always likes to prepare for the worst, and Robin has also learned this. In his imagination, the entire amusement park staff may be their enemy.
It would be fine if they don't reveal their identities, but once they do, they will most likely be besieged, which goes against their original intention of avoiding war.
This is when the importance of psychics is reflected. Dick has lamented more than once the convenience of having Megan and Happy in the team.
At Megan's suggestion, the two continued to walk around the haunted house holding hands like a young couple. When they met NPCs dressed as ghosts, Megan would scream at the right time.
The Martian's reaction was so quick that she could almost notice the staff as soon as they showed up, and then she would immediately react and perform.
As they walked, Megan pulled Connor into a corner on the pretext of taking a break. Almost as soon as they stopped, Megan's voice rang in Connor's mind.
'Something's not right here, Connor.'
"Something's wrong? What did you find?"
Facing Connor's question, Megan nodded, still saying some irrelevant words, but the real answer passed through her mind.
"I just tried to scan the entire haunted house with my X-ray vision, but I couldn't."
Although he is half Kryptonian, Connor also has this X-vision, but he still has the mindset of following orders.
In order not to hold back, he didn't dare to use any of his super powers. After hearing Megan's words, he tried to use his X-sight, but found that it only penetrated a little bit of the wall before being blocked.
'There's lead?!'
The advantages and disadvantages of his abilities had long been input into his brain, so Connor reacted immediately.
"A typical amusement park wouldn't have so much lead covering its buildings." Megan said with a smug look on her face, having seen the truth. She also remembered Dick's instructions and immediately contacted the others, informing them of this important discovery.
With lead used on such a large scale, any normal person would be able to guess who they are guarding against, and that is Superman, the soul of the Justice League.
This discovery is equivalent to telling everyone one thing: there is indeed something fishy going on here.
After learning about this, Dick was happy but also a little worried. Zeng Min always felt like she was walking into a trap.
Batman never takes things for granted. No matter how coincidental something looks, he will keep it in mind and try to infer its rationality in his own way.
Robin did the same. He immediately reminded Connor and the others to be careful and to withdraw immediately if they found anything wrong. It is better to be cautious than to be rude.
Connor and the others accepted Dick's suggestion and decided to walk around the haunted house first before making any plans. So they regrouped and walked towards the depths of the haunted house.
Connor turned his head and looked around. He always felt that the ghost faces hanging on the walls around him were a little disgusting.
