Chapter 54 Cindy Moon
"Almost." Yang Le nodded and continued.
"Grey Matter is a Galvan, and the defining characteristic of this Race is intelligence, which is related to their unique physiology."
Yang Le pointed to his head.
"Galvans have two brains: a forebrain that controls bodily functions and a main brain that governs intelligence. This characteristic makes them the most intelligent race in the entire Universe, and right now, I need this developed main brain to help me think."
After speaking, Yang Le sat down on a piece of rubble in a thinking pose, looking like he was going to find the answer.
Gwen, seeing this, could only sit down on the ground as well, waiting for Yang Le to finish thinking.
Unlike Gwen, who was bored on the side, Yang Le now entered a very peculiar state.
This feeling was different from any Transformation before. Anything he knew, he could recall instantly. The knowledge in his brain was all laid out in the open, just like a Search Engine. Give a keyword, and it would be found immediately.
'Black hair, female, light skin tone, not necessarily a Hero, after all, Daredevil of Universe 65 became a villain.'
Too many possibilities. In Comics, female Characters often change appearances for well-known reasons. Some female Characters' hair colors could even make up a rainbow by themselves.
Pupil color is relatively dark, the Character may have some Asian elements. This greatly narrows down the scope. We also need to consider rationality. Given these factors, there aren't many suitable candidates. Right now, there are a total of three suitable Characters.
Elektra of The Hand, street Hero Jessica Jones, and Spider Silk Cindy Moon.
Among them, Elektra and Cindy are more likely. One of them is connected to Daredevil, and the other is connected to Spider-Man. Jessica Jones, on the other hand, firstly doesn't have Asian elements, and secondly, isn't closely related to either of them. We can basically eliminate her suspicion.'
Yang Le adjusted his sitting posture. This was the forebrain providing the most comfortable environment for the main brain's thinking.
'The three elements of detective novels: How, Why, Who. Relying on these three, we can piece together the complete criminal facts. Now we know the method (How) and have candidates (Who). As long as we know the motive (Why), we can lock down the Criminal.'
'No, no need to overcomplicate things. Elektra, being a Ninja, has undergone countless training since childhood. The masked person's physique we saw just now clearly doesn't match the Muscle mass of someone who has trained for a long time. The answer is obvious then.'
"There's only one truth!" Yang Le stood up, stretched out his arm, and pointed forward with an unclear meaning.
"Whoa!" Drowsy Gwen was startled by Yang Le. She looked around like a frightened groundhog.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
"I've already got the answer." Yang Le put his hands on his hips and came to Gwen's feet.
"Really?" Gwen picked up Yang Le from her feet and held him in her palm.
"Who exactly is it?" Gwen asked seriously.
To match the serious atmosphere, Yang Le slowly uttered a Name.
"Cindy Moon."
"Uh, who's that?" Gwen stared blankly at Yang Le, the serious atmosphere instantly vanishing without a trace.
"In other Universes, she's also a Superhero, codenamed Spider Silk. Her Ability is similar to yours. But, according to my deduction, in this Universe, she should be like Matt, and become a villain."
"Forget about other Universes for now. Why did she turn Peter into a Lizard Monster?" Gwen frowned. She really disliked this Cindy Moon person and wasn't in the mood to learn about other Universes.
"I don't know." Yang Le said decisively, catching Gwen off guard.
"Don't know?"
"That's right, I don't know." Yang Le spread out his hands. "Galvans are smart, that's true, but they're not omniscient and omnipotent. How could I possibly deduce what the other party wants to do without any Clues?"
"And this Cindy Moon is just a suspect, not a definitively confirmed culprit."
"Isn't this just like being back at square one?" Gwen freed up one hand to scratch her head, looking somewhat dejected.
"You can't say that." Yang Le stretched out a Finger and shook it.
"Because even if it really is Cindy Moon who did it, there's nothing we can do. After all, we've never had any interaction with this person before. Even if we know, we can't find her."
"What about using Clockwork to Rewind Time and catch her red-handed?" Gwen looked at Yang Le expectantly.
"Rewinding Time is a very dangerous act. If you're not careful, you'll be targeted by something terrible." Yang Le shook his Head, dismissing Gwen's idea.
Although Yang Le still had Alien X as a Trump Card, he really didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.
There was once an unlucky guy named Albedo who was trapped inside Alien X's Body for a whole year before escaping. Yang Le didn't think he could be like Ben and persuade the other two consciousnesses inside Alien X's Body with just a few words.
"Sigh, suddenly I feel so passive." Gwen sighed helplessly.
"Criminals can do whatever they want, do whatever they please, while Heroes can only follow behind them. Comics are all lies after all. Being a Hero isn't happy at all."
"So, once you catch a Criminal, you have to be decisive and kill them on the spot. That's being responsible to ordinary people, and it eliminates future troubles. Why not do it?" Yang Le raised a Finger and said to Gwen with certainty.
"Uh... isn't that a bit too extreme?" Gwen, on the other hand, felt a little hesitant.
"For extreme Criminals, extreme measures are needed." Yang Le said decisively, creating a stark contrast with Grey Matter's miniature appearance.
Gwen didn't reply, obviously not wanting to dwell on this Topic. She didn't want to argue with Yang Le about it.
At the same time, she also noticed something was off with Yang Le. In this Transformation, Yang Le spoke somewhat harshly, and his emotional intelligence seemed much lower.
Gwen thought to herself, should she prepare a notebook to record the personality differences of each Alien? Like Four-Armed Tyrant's boldness, Tiger's mania, and today's Grey Matter's harshness. It felt like it could be made into a Book.
The Name would be "Alien Communication Handbook," written by the beautiful and intelligent Miss Gwen Stacy, the only one in the world!
Keeping this idea secretly in her heart, Gwen asked calmly.
"So, what are your thoughts on Cindy Moon? Super intelligent Mr. Grey Matter?"
"Don't mock me, I can hear it." Yang Le touched his smooth head and said in exasperation.
