Dressed in a superhero shell to save the world [Comprehensive British and American]

"Just choose the second one." Diana immediately agreed, and the others could almost feel the radiance of the elder's kindness in her eyes—like a little boy in the hospital whose grandma is distressed and does not want to have an operation.She turned directly to Batman and said, "We didn't have to risk it from the beginning."

The alliance consultant was noncommittal and said objectively: "It depends on whether you like to eat the sweet first or the bitter first."

Green Lantern suddenly said to Superboy who had been huddled in the corner without speaking: "Connor, you can go out and accompany Mrs. Kent, she is also trapped inside the magic, and she doesn't know what happened here."

"Are you going to dismiss me?" Connor straightened his waist and asked defensively, "Because the next scene is not so all-age-oriented?"

"You understand that."

"Superman is my father!"

"Because he's your father! And it's the work of the Justice League, you shouldn't be involved."

"I--"

"That's enough," said Superman. "Connor, you're a good boy. Go and be with Martha so she doesn't have to worry about me. Thanks, Hal, I'm fine."

Connor didn't refute, and walked out of the basement angrily with a straight face.Green Lantern took a step back as if feeling embarrassed: "I think it's just a game, it's fake anyway, there's no need for everyone to be so serious."

Batman went up and pressed the 'don't kill' option: "It doesn't matter, let's see how it develops next."

People were visibly relieved.

The tone of the Krypton AI is quite regrettable: "You find that you still can't get rid of it. The bottom line you have held on for many years cannot be easily broken. You think that you have no right to judge others. It seems that the death of the Flash has not brought you Too many touches, Kal-El. You watched Lex Luthor get taken away, but you know he can always convince America's greedy and shameless judiciary with money and eloquence that sooner or later he will be free again Show up in front of people, and then every sin he commits will be your responsibility. You feel the condemnation of yourself deep inside, Sanity -10."

"It's distorting concepts!" The Flash said, "Luthor has been in court more than once, and he was able to escape because he... bribed a lot of people, and those government officials were willing to cooperate with him for the property of the Lex Group and his research .”

"Then the family who was cheated will have nothing left."

"So what does this have to do with Superman? Don't you listen to the big blue one."

Only then did Superman turn his head and glance at them: "Sorry, there was a lot of noise when you were talking just now, I only heard Barry's last sentence."

Batman checked the game console seriously: "The device is intact, and there was no noise before. What else do you feel uncomfortable about?"

"No." Superman shook his head, "It's just that your voice is intermittent occasionally, like a bad signal."

The Dark Knight's cheeks twitched, he pursed his lips, and said after a while: "Then this is the consequence of the decrease in Sanity Points."

"...Actually, I was thinking just now." Superman hesitated. "The option of exchanging 5 sanity points back to Flash before death has always been there. Do you want to try it? It can't be worse than it is now."

"That's worse than it is now." Batman seemed to be starting to get agitated, and when he paused in his speech, there was a slight movement of his back teeth, "This is the purpose of the game, it tricks us into getting more and more trapped in a false plot The deeper it gets, the interference in the dialogue between the two sides is a precursor—do you really care about the Kryptonian AI saying that you are not touched by the death of the Flash?"

Superman: "It seems that you also remember very clearly. This is the key. It's okay to continue, but the longer I stay in the game, the more it will remind me in various ways over and over again. Do you know? It's full of news broadcasts, different reporters reporting in different languages ​​the president being taken away by the police. If I go down the street, everyone, every paper, every screen is saying the same thing. I go to work for the Daily Planet , Perry may ask me to write a detailed analysis report—”

The emotions that were controlled for a moment broke through the dam, bringing a sense of substitution that can be called terrifying.

He closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment. When he spoke again, he regained his calm tone: "I don't guarantee that I can concentrate, Bruce, and neither do you."

"Listen to Superman." Steel Bone said, "He's the one involved."

A small cute smiley face appeared on the screen: "Deal done. Sanity -5."

This is followed by a brief black screen.

A satellite phone call came in just at this moment.

"I heard that you are collectively trapped in a cave in Kansas?" Iron Man's voice came from Zhenglian's public communication equipment, "But don't worry, most cities have been taken over by Avengers, and we will help you catch them." Live Black Adam."

"..."

what is this?

Industry competition within Chaoying?

Steel Bone took two steps out: "Kansas has only plains, no mountains. But how did you do it? Black Adam's magic is lifted?"

"Obviously, we're the more mature team." Tony said that without any shame, "Black Adam is still being interrogated, but he says he can only remove the magic that's trapped you, and as for the Superman one,' Higher level'. Yes, he only said these two words, now super villains don't need to speak basic law to fool people?"

Cyborg glanced back. "I don't think he's lying, Iron Man. I'm better at data analysis."

"Seriously? I—hey!" There was a muffled quarrel from the opposite side, and then the caller became Captain America, "Hello, Cyborg."

"Hello, nice to meet you, Captain."

"As Iron Man said, we got a lot of information from Black Adam, including the hole in the universe you are studying, and his purpose of trapping Superman in it. He proposed a deal that confused us. The Avengers did not The reason for agreeing, but when it comes to Superman, I think you should be consulted first."

Cyborg asked, "What is it?"

"He said that if we let him go, he'd find a way to erase Superman's memory in the coordinate universe and give you a 'normal' league president."

When the half-human, half-mechanical hero heard this, his prosthetic eyes glowed scarlet.

The league consultant came over and pressed his shoulder: "We refuse."

"Black Adam said that it doesn't matter if you don't agree temporarily, this is a backup option, and you will always find him."

"—Reject him." Batman repeated again, "I will not agree. No one has the right to tamper with other people's memories at will."

After discussing the arrangements for Fulian to manage it in the absence of Zhenglian, the communication was terminated.The members of Zhenglian looked at each other, and Neptune said, "He means we can leave now?"

"Yeah, but Superman's still stuck in there, and I don't think he's the only one to blame for the cosmic bug."

"Second. If anyone is in a hurry, you can leave."

No one moved.

Steel Bone said: "What does Black Adam mean?"

"I learned from some sources that the singularity universe represents disorder and chaos." Batman explained to everyone, "The longer you spend in it, the more susceptible you are to it. Unfortunately, we encountered these few loopholes. The spontaneous rebellion of the cosmic will combined with the game's AI happens to be able to manipulate time. This may be the original purpose of Black Adam, he wants to degenerate a hero into a crazy criminal."

The heroine walked up to the still unlit screen and looked at her own reflection in the dark: "It's impossible. Superman won't, and neither will we."

"That's right, that's why we're here."

"Clark? Clark!" Louise's voice rang in his ear, "Perry called you to his office... are you okay? I called you several times."

Superman opened his eyes at once, and found himself lying on his notebook in a suit. The female reporter was leaning over his desk, her dark hair hanging down on the desk, there was a hint of worry in her brows and eyes, and two voices came from inside her body. The sound does not overlap with the heartbeat.Louise here is married?Still pregnant?

Their faces were very close to each other, so close that it was a bit impolite. Clark didn't think about it, subconsciously dodged back, and pushed his glasses sideways: "Louis, I'm sorry, you said the editor-in-chief called me? But I suddenly remembered my I left something at home and I have to get away..."

He had to meet Lex Luthor!The sooner the better!

"Wait, are you still mad at our argument this morning?"

"Wh-no, no, Louise, it's my fault for asking you to dinner tonight. But I'm really in a hurry right now-"

He jumped over the busy crowd with his desk propped up, and rushed out of the office regardless of their exclamations. The colleagues who ran at high speed avoiding the cameras pulled off their ties, glasses, suits, and shirt buttons.A huge S-shaped logo appeared on his chest, and he flew into the sky.

Perry's yelling and Louise's yelling were left behind by him. He concentrated on identifying Luther's location. It was not the White House, but the building of the Lex Group. Now Luther hasn't become president yet?Does that mean he still has a lot of time?

In less than half a minute, Superman landed outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of Luthor's office. The chairman of the Lex Group seemed to have eyes behind him, and at the same moment he stopped, he turned around and raised his eyebrows: "What wind brought you Blowing, my friend?"

Superman frowned.

Something was wrong with Luthor's attitude, but he hadn't figured out what it was. X's vision scanned the parts of the office that were not covered by lead, and did not find anything that seemed to be a nuclear bomb control device - Luthor would not have kept such a dangerous item at hand, let alone he is not the president yet.

There really are so many different places, not only that the Flash is alive... The Flash?

"Barry?"

he murmured.

The super hearing recognizes that the Flash here is not the dead Wally West!

Lex didn't hear what he was saying, and couldn't make out the mouth shape that lacked context: "What did you say?"

no respond.

Superman's super hearing moves outward step by step from the central city of the Flash, and finally returns to Metropolis.He heard Louise not staying in the office of the Daily Planet for some reason.In addition to the heartbeat in the female reporter's chest, he heard the mechanical sound of "di, di, di" like the countdown of some kind of hands.And the crazy laugh that always rings out in Gotham's nightmares around her—

"boom--"

A picture like a real scene unfolds in front of your eyes:

The clown who kidnapped Louise.

The ticking, bomb on Louise.

The fear gas sprayed in front of him from the hand of the clown.

In a hallucination, he saw Doomsday.He had to kill it, and for some reason the strange monster gave him the dread of dying.

"Clark!!" A distant voice came from nowhere, accompanied by the noise of electricity, like the chirping of cicadas in midsummer, disappearing into the unnoticed white noise.

He has to kill it.Do your best and show no mercy, or he will die.But why?He had clearly never seen Doomsday, the artifact used to kill the Kryptonians.

The hallucinations of fear gas faded.

Louise lay in his arms.

He killed it... he killed her?

"Clark! Please! You look back at us!"

The voice sounded again, very persistent, very reassuring and trustworthy, but Superman didn't have the leeway to look away.His gaze was fixed on the picture in front of him, like a sculpture that had completely lost its soul.

Louise's heart stopped beating, and the nuclear bomb tied to her heartbeat exploded.

Metropolis destroyed.

He has to do something...can't go on...why?Louise is dead?She just got married, whose child in her womb belongs to?

He didn't want to think about it seriously, he felt his mind went blank, the Joker was laughing right in front of him, and Batman stopped between the two of them: "You can't kill him!!"

"I don't...I don't want to..." He didn't know what his expression was now, he only felt the water in his eyes surging, he felt that he was pleading to an unknown existence, but the nightmare did not end, "Don't force me -"

"Clark!!!"

Superman suddenly turned around.His curly black hair was wet with sweat and hung messily on his forehead, and his violent panting was like the growl of a beast caught in a trap and unwilling to give up struggling.

"You've never seen Doomsday. Louise is alive and well. The Metropolis is still there—we're still here."

Their voices still carried the whistling electric sound, which was stronger and weaker in Clark's ears.

But that's the truth.

The Son of Krypton instantly relaxed.He leaned his shoulders forward and knelt on top of the ruins, describing how he was embarrassed but still handsome, like a god bowing his head, making his companions unable to bear to look directly at him for a short time.

"I know. Sorry, this is my problem, I was too anxious just now."

After a few seconds, the person in the game stood up, took a calm breath and looked around, while assuring, "There will be no next time."
