Superman is missing.

This is a rare and not too rare thing. In the eyes of most people, Superman is a full-time superhero. When he does not appear on Earth, he is likely to go to the universe to challenge more dangerous enemies.In the eyes of his colleagues, Clark Kent is low-key and busy, trying to manage his life like every ordinary person living in a big city. When the red cape is not flying in the sky, the young man from a small town in Kansas may Talking with friends in a corner of the world, enjoying a candlelight dinner with relatives under the moonlight, or sitting in a straw pile and humming songs to write long paragraphs of text.

The Son of Krypton has a free and penetrating soul, and his human side involves his steel body, which makes him occasionally weak, but also makes him eternally strong.Every teammate of the Justice League, after knowing the true identity of Superman, is willing that he can keep that small paradise on the ground from beginning to end. Out of respect and love for the hero, they will not take the initiative to disturb and probing.

But this time Superman disappeared for a bit too long.

On the watchtower, Cyborg scans the whole world for countless times and finds no trace of Clark Kent. Green Lantern went to the universe to ask around and found no trace of Superman. The spokesperson of S.H.I.E.L.D. Li snatched the right to talk to Superman, and was planning to ask the person concerned what he thought of the White House's super-English and super-dog no-entry sign, but now he could only wait pitifully for the result of the search.What's more frightening is that Batman found that the system could not contact each other.

"It's over." The system said, "I bet a hundred code loopholes, he passed through."

"The will of the universe is just the opposite of the increase in entropy. There is an instinct to tend to completeness. We just came back from the Arkham Knight universe. The possibility of you encountering loophole coordinates is much higher than before."

So five hours later, Bruce Wayne rushed to Kansas and knocked on the gate of the farm.

This should be the last place Superman appeared.

After identifying himself as Superman's friend and convincing Martha Kent to hang around for a while, Batman dug a few feet and finally found the puny, helpless man in the basement of the farm's warehouse that hadn't been visited since Jonathan Kent's death. Helping Connor...and a stationary game console.

Connor was maintaining a pious posture and standing solemnly, as if he was not playing games but worshiping the icon in the church.After Bruce arrived, he jumped up: "Help! Batman! This game console wants to murder Superman!"

"..."

The manual for the Krypton game console was placed next to Connor, and it was read more than once.After researching, Batman suspected that the father and son had been under the magic of reducing intelligence: "This is a holographic game. Although I don't know the principle, you can't quit now?"

The object of his speech is Superman who is bored on the prairie of the game login screen.

"I can't, it should be because the button to exit the game has turned gray, and the system prompts that I can only clear the level if I clear all the endings." Superman stood up and said, his voice came through the speaker of the machine, and the game screen on the virtual screen was extremely real , as if he was making a video call with the people on another planet, "This thing is a bit strange. Neither of us has any other electronic equipment. Connor wanted to go to Zhenglian for help, but he couldn't get out anyway. This warehouse."

Batman turned and pushed open the basement door to go outside.

After half a minute, he returned to the original place: "It's really not right, I can't get out, and I will be teleported back through the gate of the farm."

The two of them looked at each other across the screen, and at the same time realized that they might have been tricked.

The system can't surreptitiously pass the word now, but the subsystems on both sides must have made the same guess.

Due to Connor's presence, Batman could only say vaguely, "You know about the loophole in the universe."

Superman replied: "I know. I can face it."

Connor: "What charades are you playing?"

"Don't rush to start the game for now, I need to test it."

Batman didn't answer Superboy's question.He tentatively called home and was connected—no matter who the enemy was, he did not restrict external contact.

"Alfred, I need the newly developed equipment."

Then there is the long waiting and testing time.They found traces of magic on Connor, but the conditions were limited and they couldn't trace the source. What's worse, the magic gave the game console and the warehouse active at the same time. The former was undoubtedly full of malice against Superman. The latter traps any creatures that enter the territory firmly in it, and the range is expanding at an unimaginable speed—Connor just couldn't get out of the warehouse before, but now the entire farm has become a cage.

"...I have no idea when I was enchanted." Connor knelt down and buried his face in his arms, "I mean, I'm really sorry."

"Nobody expected this, Connor, and you shouldn't blame yourself for your enemy's cunning. Take heart, boy, we still have time to figure out a solution together."

"I think this is why the enemy didn't cut off the electronic signal." Batman on the other side, fiddling with the equipment sent by the drone, speculated cautiously, "To prevent the magic applied to this warehouse from spreading to the entire Kansas and the town innocents, we have to saturate it ahead of time, that is, use enough energy for filling offset."

Superman asked, "Anything short and concise?"

"—We have to call the entire Zhenglian, or creatures with energy equivalent to these superhumans, shut themselves in it, fill the stomach of this house so that it doesn't want to continue to eat, so as to prevent the spread of spells, and now It’s too late to create a super energy body on the spot.”

Connor understood: "You mean that the enemy left the signal to let the trapped people ask for help. But even if Zhenglian is restrained and can't fight criminals, if he wants to carry out a conspiracy, can he still use the same method to stop other criminals? Super hero?"

We must know that there may be no other advantages in this universe, except that there are extraordinarily many superhuman beings.

"It will be very difficult, so I think trapping Zhenglian is only the enemy's first plan. If you want to understand the follow-up, you must figure out the key point-what does he want to use Superman for?"

Or, what's inside the hole in the universe?

Compared with the Owl Court, which knew nothing about the source of the coordinates, this time the opponent was clearly prepared.He designed a trap to make Superman fall into the coordinate universe unprepared, and provided Zhenglian with a VIP viewing channel. If this Kryptonian game console is not limited to only pure Kryptonians, I am afraid they can still have it. Opportunities for immersive experiences.At that time, the superheroes will fall into the hole of the universe like dumplings, and what will happen is still unknown.

Right now, only Superman is locked up alone in the holographic role-playing game, which is probably a path that even the villain who implements the strategy has never imagined.

Either way, the other side is banking on them getting something in the supervillain's favour, in this rare restoration experience.

Or, lose the important existence they have.

The heart of the league, Superman.

The system said: "It is impossible for the behind-the-scenes person to know the repelling effect of the loopholes in the universe on you, but he will know that chaos is the essence of these singularity spaces. No matter how upright and determined a person is, he will fall into madness if he stays in this kind of place for a long time. It took only one night for Batman to fix the vulnerability before, and the effect of spiritual erosion is already obvious enough."

"He wants to see a superman who loses his mind." Batman immediately followed his opponent's train of thought, "He wants Zhenglian to witness how the gods fall with his own eyes."

The Flash who arrived second after receiving the news happened to hear this sentence.

"Wow." He sighed with difficulty, "I won't be late again, will I?"

In the game, Superman said: "No, you came the fastest today."

His cloak fluttered as usual, and he didn't seem to be shaken by Batman's words just now. He said calmly, "After the magic spread stops, we will start as soon as possible."

**

"The situation is better than last time with Batman, but not much better." Superman's system is communicating with his host, "I couldn't communicate with him at all at that time. Now because this is a computer connected to a loophole in the universe The console, also made of 0s and 1s, has more authority than I did in the Arkham Knight universe. But..."

"but?"

"The nature of the 'game' is to follow the rules, Moses, which means you are dealing with iron laws that cannot be changed."

A role-playing game, abbreviated as RPG, consists of players and characters.

Therefore, on the outside of the game, when other people in Zhenglian did not press the start button, Superman could only wander on the endless plain on the start interface.After all the staff arrived and Batman chose to 'start a new game', a distorted and blurred portal appeared in front of him, leading to an unknown realm.

"I don't think it has any coercive effect." Superman observed the portal for a while, and commented, "Even if you click to start the game, if I don't take the initiative to walk in, the game will still be stuck at the beginning."

"But the customs clearance requirement is to complete all the endings." Wonder Woman, who has already exchanged information, pointed out, "Delay cannot solve the problem."

"You're right, Diana." Superman shrugged his shoulders. "Actually, I quite like the grassland at the beginning. I can smell the dirt. Could this be the image left by Krypton many years ago?" ?”

"..."

No one can answer.It's like no one can understand what a game console from the birthplace used to guide children's growth has turned into a weapon that hurts the last survivors by accident, what it means to Superman.

He walked into the portal, and the white flowers on the grassland that had been with him just now swayed in the wind, as if saying goodbye.

After stepping through the door, a familiar city came into view.

The Superman uniform on his body has changed into a white shirt and black suit pants, and he is sitting in the small bachelor apartment with glasses, facing the computer and documents. The surface glistens in the sun.

This is Metropolis.

"Welcome to the teaching level of the game "Superman Development Plan" for all ages!" Krypton AI said in a melodious tone, "Important reminder: This game does not contain any save points, the player's options are closely related to the ending, please choose carefully. "

Outside the game, Flash asked: "Why does it keep emphasizing that it is a game for all ages?"

Green Lantern replied: "Like a drunk person who always says he didn't drink, it likely contains adult content and needs to be watched with parental and parental supervision."

"Clark Kent." The AI ​​ignored Hal's taunt and continued on its own, "You are a small-town boy from Kansas, and today is your first day of work in a big city. Cerberus You and your colleague Lois Lane need to interview three of America's most influential young business titans at the Loews Summit."

This is probably the synopsis of the teaching level.

"And after you finished talking with Lex Luthor and Oliver Queen and returned to your residence, you found yourself attacked by a black strange bat."

"..."

With one hand on the back of Clark's head, he slammed it hard against the innocent laptop on the table.

With a bang, the computer shattered.

AI: "The stranger attacked you and asked you why you approached Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. Did you decide to fight back?"

Time stands still at this moment.

Superman maintained the posture of being critically hit by 'Batman' on the head, and winked at the people outside the game: "What's the situation?"
