The little reporter who was choked and unable to speak was aggrieved and went to get the warm dinner, curled up on the other side of the sofa and ate

"You're following the Lex Luthor report?"

Clark swallowed the food in his mouth in surprise, "How do you know?"

"The acquittal of Lex Luthor tonight is the hottest topic in recent memory."

"Yes, acquitted." Clark curled his lips and swallowed the words of complaint.

Bruce didn't say anything more, and looked at the newspaper seriously.

The stories described in the text were gradually connected together in his mind. After removing the artificially exaggerated part and the author's personal emotions, the situation of this world gradually became clear in his mind.

Bruce had to admit that the world was more troubled than he thought it would be.

And—he glanced sideways at Clark—this alien with magical powers was not as much expected as he had originally imagined. Through a lot of praise reports, Bruce could see the negativity growing in the shadows. Stop brewing.

Some people are jealous of Superman's power but criticize him for being superior, some people avoid making efforts but curse Superman for not coming to help, some people enjoy Superman's protection but turn their heads and resent him for losing his property... These emotions were all covered in newspapers. Covered up by the praise article, it could only be mentioned as a joke by one or two reporters occasionally.

Until the departure of Superman five years ago, the negative public opinion swept across all the media and newspapers almost instantly.

Even the rumored girlfriend of Superman wrote such an article and won a Pulitzer Prize for it. I can't blame this sunny and gentle young man for showing such a sad and desperate expression before.

At that time, he was probably on the verge of collapse under the double torment of doubt and self-doubt.

But how to put it... This is the original appearance of human beings in Bruce's cognition, complex and contradictory, justice and evil, light and darkness, these opposite imprints are imprinted on the foundation of this race, and no one side has ever been able to truly understand. Being obliterated by whom, human beings suffer from this contradiction, but also because of the disputes caused by this contradiction, they have developed rapidly and become what they are today.

This battle will never end, and the best that can be achieved is to make more of the good and less of the bad, but... yes, the evil will never disappear.

But such a reality is too cruel for this innocent and simple town boy.

and……

He fumbled lightly for the newspaper in his hand, and fell into a long thought.

All this happened too suddenly and too overwhelming. It is normal for bat monsters who haunt Gotham night to scare people and use violence and intimidation to solve everything. It is normal for people to hate them, but they are always helping people like Superman Even if it is inevitable that the guy is hacked, he shouldn't be on such a large scale all of a sudden.

It seems that someone is manipulating behind the scenes, no, the power of one person is not enough, maybe a group of people, an organization, or even a high-level federal government.

After all, a super alien who is powerful and likes to fly around is still easy to tease some people's sensitive nerves.

"Hey, Bruce!"

Clark's voice woke Bruce up from his thoughts. The dinner had already bottomed out. Clark put the knife and fork back to their original positions and asked him happily, "Where did you go today? Did you find anything special?"

"No."

Actually he lied, he discovered a very strange problem.

It depends on an accident, a high altitude overlooking the angle.

He found that the city he was in now seemed to have some inexplicable connection with Gotham in some places.

Although the iconic buildings are completely different, and even the direction of the streets and the division of urban areas are also different, his understanding of his city has long been engraved in his blood, even if it is burned to ashes and broken into pieces. Slag, he can also see his original face in the ruins and embers.

He even found a ruin where it should have been the Wayne family mansion. The deserted cemetery and the collapsed buildings were enclosed by rusted fences and lush wild roses, which was incompatible with the bustling world outside, like Abandoned in the long river of history.

The residents around Ju said that with the death of the last member of the family centuries ago, the place was completely deserted. The authorities tried to develop the place many times, but the legends were eventually abandoned because of the haunting.

There is no evidence to prove that the former owner here has a relationship with Wayne. They have been abandoned in time, and even the greatest detective can't verify it.

He admitted that his mentality had been affected a bit, but even Superman had trouble seeing when a bat made up its mind to tell a lie.

Clark had a good temper to wash off the dirty dishes, and reminded him that it was time for sleep, urging Bruce not to stay up late.

But Bruce knew that he might not be able to sleep tonight.
