Three days later.
metropolis.
Superman Clark returned home early holding a bouquet of flowers and set about setting up a candlelight dinner for him and Lois.
Today is Valentine's Day in the West, February 14th, a day filled with gunfire.
This also made many crazy men and women unmotivated to work. Louise, who worked at the Daily Planet, was one of them. After drinking afternoon tea, she began to be absent-minded.
"Ahhh..."
While I was busy, the cell phone on the table suddenly started making noise.
Louise subconsciously picked up the phone and answered the call.
"Louise, I have a big clue that will make you famous, but I want three thousand dollars for this information."
The person coming was one of the informants she had developed.
Both reporters and police officers develop informants, the former for fame and fortune, the latter for advancement.
Therefore, they usually offer huge profits to those who are suitable as informants, in order to achieve the purpose of collecting criminal information and breaking news.
"I need to know for sure whether it's worth three thousand dollars."
"After the Joker was injured by Batman last year, he has been hiding in Metropolis to recuperate. I recently received news that he has assembled a group of people to rob the National Bank on Valentine's Day night..."
The informant's words were not surprising, and he kept controlling Louise for several seconds in just a few words.
Her breathing became rapid in an instant. This was big news. If the news was true, it would be worth thirty thousand U.S. dollars, not to mention three thousand U.S. dollars.
Louise couldn't wait to ask: "Time and place?"
"Louise, I won't say anything without money. Mr. James from the Daily Planet is very willing to pay a high price to collect information. I am willing to sell the information to you at a low price entirely because you have the support of Superman behind you. In the future, If I encounter any danger, I can have something to hope for.”
"I will apply for the informant fee immediately and arrange for the finance department to call you."
Louise had dealt with this informant many times, and she knew the other person's character very well. She would never call her rashly without receiving exact information.
Therefore, she didn't have any doubts. After hanging up the phone, she immediately went to the editor to apply for the informant fee and called the other party.
Due to the process.
Louise didn't receive a call back from the informant until half an hour later and learned the time and place where the clown team robbed the bank.
Since the crime was committed relatively late in the morning, the Joker team would not take action until after two o'clock in the morning. Therefore, Lois chose to get off work normally and planned to go back to spend Valentine's Day with Superman before going back to work.
She will take her boyfriend with her when she arrives, and she will be in charge of filming while Clark fights criminal gangs.
Perfect!
The Joker should go back to Gotham. Metropolis is her man's territory, and it is no longer the turn of outsiders to act arrogantly.
8pm.
After enjoying the candlelight dinner, Superman and Lois kissed each other passionately. As their clothes fell off one by one, the dining table quickly turned into a battlefield.
About three kun hours later.
Superman carried the limp Lois into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub that had been filled with water in advance.
The two of them like to sit in the bathtub and chat afterward, enjoying a brief moment of warmth.
"Clark, please accompany me out at around two o'clock in the morning. The clown is going to rob the National Bank tonight. We must not let him succeed..." Louise said weakly,
"Yeah~~" Clark nodded.
Afterwards, the two sat in the bathtub without saying a word, listening to each other's heartbeats.
One of them is a world vigilante, the other is busy looking for news, and they are both very busy with work.
Most of the time, the two of them travel around the world and don't see each other that often. Unlike Long Yi and Harley, who live in Gotham, they spend almost all day and night together.
Although Cheng Long and Diana also have a strong relationship, they occasionally stay apart for a day and a half.
Wonder Woman has had a man, and attendance has been noticeably lower over the past year.
Only Batman and Superman remain true to their original aspirations and always fight on the front lines against criminals.
……
At 1:50 in the morning, Superman carried his girlfriend Lois like a princess to the roof of the building opposite the Metropolitan National Bank.
After landing.
Louise quickly opened her backpack, took out her night camera, pointed it in the direction of the bank, and monitored everyone nearby.
"Lois, have you been deceived? It's very quiet near the bank. It doesn't look like you're being targeted by robbers." Superman used his super hearing to listen to the entire area, and the result was something unpleasant. scream.
He knew this voice very well, Louise had called it many, many times.
"The informant said that the operation started after two o'clock in the morning. Maybe the clown team is still on the way."
"Then wait."
Superman only has super hearing and does not have the abnormal telepathy and mental control abilities like Professor
He just subconsciously felt that it was too quiet near the bank.
I set up my camera and waited quietly for a long time.
Suddenly——
A black shadow flashed next to Louise, and with lightning speed, he hugged the other person's waist and flew up into the sky. Before leaving, he did not forget to take Louise's night camera with him.
boom!
The black shadow that held Louise hostage flew extremely fast. Just during the process of taking off, it actually broke the speed of sound and caused a sonic boom.
In the blink of an eye, Lois disappeared under Superman's nose.
"Clark~~"
Hearing Louise's horrified cry, Superman frowned and suddenly jumped into the air, pursuing the man in black who snatched Louise away at a speed of four to five hundred meters per second.
One chasing and one running.
A series of sonic booms soon appeared over the Yingjiang mainland.
The man in black in front seems to be deliberately testing Superman. The speed increases as the speed increases, supersonic speed, twice the speed of sound, four times the speed of sound, eight times, sixteen times... until the speed reaches more than 8800 meters per second, 26 times the speed of sound, Superman's speed is reached. There is no way to rise.
And 26 times the speed of sound is the normal speed of the Flash.
In the easter egg of the movie Justice League, Superman and Flash Barry competed in speed. They looked about the same speed, but in fact, Superman lost a little bit to Barry.
When Superman came back from the dead, Barry was actually able to avoid Superman's attack, but because of his panic, he received a punch from Superman. When the speed is about the same, when the mentality is unstable and the inner panic occurs, it is easy for others to find out the flaws.
Lois was kidnapped under Superman's nose, which also made Clark's mentality about to collapse. Looking at the man in black getting further and further away, Clark's eyes turned red from stimulation.
Heat vision may shoot out from his eye sockets at any time.
At this moment, the man in black who kidnapped Louise suddenly landed in a desolate jungle.
"Louise, I'm sorry that I offended you unintentionally!" As soon as Cheng Long's second soul, Netherworld, landed on the ground, he apologized to Louise in his arms, "This is your camera, I hope it's not broken."
boom!
Nether returned the camera to Louise, and Superman fell from the sky, like a burning meteor, and hit Nether heavily.
At this time, an ordinary person would definitely be smashed into a pulp by Superman, just like the locomotive in the American TV series "Picket", because it ran too fast and could not control the direction, and smashed the hero Huey's girlfriend into a pulp. General.
But when such an impact falls on the second soul, it is no different from Rao Itchy.
The second soul, like Cheng Long, is an immortal in the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, and has practiced the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique. It is Cheng Long's trump card to achieve transfer of consciousness and rebirth when his body is destroyed and his soul is destroyed.
Normally, You Ming would only stay in the soul-nurturing jade to cultivate and feed back Cheng Long's cultivation. This time, the second soul was arranged to take action, mainly because Cheng Long couldn't get away and his mother-in-law Hippolyta was monitoring him. , outrageously harsh.
As long as Cheng Long leaves Diana and the room assigned to him, the Amazon female warriors everywhere will report the news to the Queen as soon as possible.
If Hippolyta discovers a problem, he can only arrange for Netherworld to take action.
The clone Long Yi lacks strength and cannot defeat Superman in a short period of time, and he has no means of banning him.
"Clark, your power is much worse than I thought!"
Netherworld remained as still as a pine tree. While speaking frivolously, he also dusted his clothes with his hands, as if they had become dirty after being hit by Superman.
It's a small action that doesn't hurt much but is extremely insulting.
"Why...you kidnapped Louise?"
Superman is extremely kind-hearted in nature. Although he is extremely angry at the moment, but when he swooped down and hit the netherworld, the anger in his heart disappeared.
Of course, the main thing is that Louise is intact.
Judging from the situation, it didn't seem like he was thinking of Louise, but rather it was aimed at him.
Superman can even forgive Batman, who once wanted to kill him, so he naturally doesn't have much anger towards a strange man in black who targets him.
"I just want to lure you out..." Youming once again cast an apologetic look at Louise. When he first robbed someone, his movements were a little too hasty, causing him to grab the other person's canteen and fly all the way.
However, when it comes to robbery, bumps and bumps are inevitable, so there is no need to worry about it.
"What do you want to do to Clark?"
Louise couldn't care less about the trivial matter of being caught. When she heard that Nether captured her for the purpose of attracting Clark, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"What I want to do is ask him to disappear for a day, so that the alien forces peeking at the earth can take the initiative to show up, and then kill them all." You Ming said bluntly.
"..."
Clark and Lois looked at each other, obviously confused.
"It's more troublesome to explain in detail. To put it simply, Clark is regarded as the patron saint of the earth by alien forces. As long as he is alive, aliens will not invade the earth. So I need to create the illusion of Clark's death to attract aliens. People invaded the earth..." You Ming explained patiently.
Louise frowned and asked doubtfully: "Since the earth can be protected from alien invasion if Clark is alive, why do you bother to attract them here? Do you know that many people will die?"
"Because I want to solve the problem from the root instead of passive defense. You are all smart people. You should know very well that if you place your hopes on one person, problems will sooner or later..."
"Moreover, I will leave the earth in a few years. By then, aliens will invade, and the earth will have to rely on Superman, but Superman has extremely obvious weaknesses."
Netherworld stopped short of that and did not mention the embarrassing topic of Clark almost being killed by Batman.
Louise knew what weakness he was talking about.
Once this weakness is known to aliens, Superman will undoubtedly die. The earth will no longer have a patron saint. It is obvious that Wonder Woman, Batman and others alone cannot turn things around.
"I don't even know who you are now, how can I be sure that what you said is true or false?" Clark had some doubts about Netherworld's statement. It was really difficult for him to trust a person who suddenly appeared to kidnap Louise.
"From the fact that I know your weakness, but I didn't take away Batman's Kryptonite spear, and I didn't use Lois to blackmail you, it's enough to prove that I have no ill intentions towards you."
You Ming is Cheng Long's second soul. He has a pure nature. He doesn't want to be violent to Clark unless he has to, or use women as threats to make him fall into a prepared trap.
Superman was speechless.
The weakness is so obvious. If the other party is really malicious, it would be easy to kill him.
"Clark, I think what this gentleman said is true. He has no ill intentions towards us." Lois tugged on Superman's arm, her eyes full of worry.
Although You Ming does not have the same affinity as Cheng Long, his strength has won Louise's respect. A person who can fly so fast that Superman cannot catch up, and can even be hit by Superman without any damage. If he has any ill intentions towards them, they will Most of them are dead.
"Sir, alien invasion is not a trivial matter. I think the leaders of various countries should be notified so that they can be prepared before taking action." Clark said anxiously. Nine years ago, General Zod's invasion of the earth caused devastation. The destruction is still vivid in my mind.
This is still just eight exiled Kryptonians. If it were an alien legion from another planet, it would definitely be more than eight Kryptonians.
"It's not appropriate to let too many people know about the alien invasion of the earth. Telling it will only be counterproductive." You Ming shook his head and rejected Clark's request. Some things are really inconvenient for everyone to know, and it will cause great panic. .
"Then how do you plan to make Clark disappear?" Louise asked.
"I will take him to a place that can isolate him from all the breath."
After hearing Nether's explanation, Clark was silent for a long time, and finally chose to accept it. He and Louise could both tell whether a person had malicious intentions.
With knowledge of personal weaknesses.
You Zhen thought about the other party and the others, why there was no need to go to such trouble.
After a long time.
Clark gave Louise a kiss, pretended to die generously, and said to Netherworld: "Sir, I'm ready, let's do it!"
"Give me your hand."
Nether grabbed Superman's hand and turned it into a stream of light, disappearing without a trace.
The moment Superman's breath disappeared, the originally quiet Mother Box in Cyborg's home instantly activated, releasing circles of invisible sound waves to communicate with the other two Mother Boxes.
Sound waves like water ripples rippled in circles. The sudden change caused countless people on the earth to pay attention to the incredible scene.
"Sir, what's going on with these waves?"
Looking at Nether who suddenly flashed back, Louise asked with worry on her face.
"The signal notifying aliens. As long as the biggest threat to the earth is dead or there is news, the alien equipment left on the earth will be excited to emit signals to help aliens locate us."
Listening to Netherworld's explanation, Louise was sweating profusely. It turns out that the earth has really been targeted by aliens for a long time!
This efficiency is a bit too fast! (End of chapter)
