"Hello there!"

Peter Parker's voice quickly came from the opposite side: "I'm sorry I don't know who you are and I didn't have time to look at the caller ID just now. As you can see, I'm busy right now. We'll get back in 10 minutes if I can—oh!"

"Too arrogant, boy." A low voice came from the phone, "10 minutes, will I kill you, or will you finish me?"

"How should I say it?" Spider-Man spoke lightly, "According to the historical development of the battle with the villain, it is usually the latter."

Batman tapped his knuckles on the table and said in a recognizable voice, "It's me."

There was a moment of silence on the other side.

The members of Zhenglian can almost imagine the dumbfounded expression of the young hero at the moment.

A few seconds later, Spider-Man said: "Good afternoon Batman, if you want to ask your assistant, well, Robin is not with me."

This 'Robin' refers to Damian.

Since his appearance in public, he needs his code name to hide his identity, and Tim offers that he can change his name to Red Robin.Damian was not very happy, because he felt that this title was not won by himself, but by Drake's "condescending" active humility and charity.

"...It has nothing to do with Robin." Although Peter would say that, it probably means that Damian did not obediently obey, "Who is your opponent?"

"He calls himself Mysterio, and I'm still trying to figure out who he really is and why he came to attack me on this busy day."

Shazam, who had already dealt with Xiao Krypton and rushed back, quietly said to Cyborg: "I didn't expect someone to say so many words when talking to Batman."

It’s almost like two extremes, one side tries to refine the expression without talking nonsense, while the other side is like a walking barrage machine-not only facing Batman, but also Spiderman does not stop when he is fighting fiercely with the villain. Next, he and the mysterious guest had a heated one-sided chat.

Steel Bone didn't change his face, and nodded his approval when the alliance consultant was not paying attention.

Batman ignored his colleague. He glanced at the calendar, keenly aware of the emphasis in Spiderman's words: "Today is special?"

"Strictly speaking, only this year. I heard you guys are trapped in Kansas," this is the official statement, in order to solve an accident, the members of the alliance went out collectively, hiding the things about Superman being trapped and the Black Adam plot, "probably don't know Now many famous superheroes are entangled by their own exclusive villains..."

Shazam whispered again: "Is he implying that he is famous?"

The mystery guest who heard this sentence became furious: "I'm not! I didn't! I just happened to choose today!"

"You don't have to explain that much." Spider-Man said nonchalantly.

"go to hell!!"

There was a fierce exchange of fire.

Batman said politely: "Why don't I come later..."

"It's okay!" Peter panted, "I can solve this, where did I just say it? Oh, many villains are carrying out planned collective actions to kill or control the Superhero organization. Given that Zhenglian has Being held back, in fact, only the Avengers members are busy now, they received the news just after solving Black Adam, and now they are rushing to various cities to solve the trouble."

"Rare, weird." Batman commented on the behavior of the criminals pertinently.

"That's right, Director Fury and the others said the same."

"Is there any other result of Black Adam's interrogation?"

"Well, I'm happy to help, but I'm actually not a core member of the Avengers. Probably, they insisted on signing a labor contract after I became an adult, so I now occasionally act with other heroes of S.H.I.E.L.D., special, special Occasionally, they will participate in the main tasks of Captain Doctor and the others."

Batman was unwavering: "Tell me what you know."

"...Warley shouldn't have called me Avengers undercover, the actual situation is the other way around." Peter muttered in a low voice, and then raised his voice, "There should be a real murderer standing behind him, we don't know his identity As for the real identity, I only know that Black Adam has cooperated with an organization called the Illuminati, and the villains dispatched today should all be members of the Illuminati—except for the one in front of me."

The mystery guest roared: "Shut up! You just said you don't know anything!"

"Hmmm, did I say that? You actually eavesdropped on my phone call! It's kind of disgusting... And I just said that Fulian will not take the initiative to tell me, there are many ways to get information."

"Thanks," Batman said. "If I get a chance to tell Robin, I'll be back soon. Don't try to run too far."

He hangs up.

Members of the Zhenglian, you look at me and I look at you. Barry raised his hand and asked, "It sounds like Spider-Man is fighting a hundred starships. Does the kid need help? I can contact Wally."

"Trust me, Spider-Man doesn't want to meet Kid Flash at all. He'll get in touch himself if he needs to."

"I know they had a fight in the previous meeting because of their position." The Flash said, "But Wally and Nightwing have a good relationship, and Robin and Spider-Man get along well. I thought they could become friends."

"Young people always don't know each other." Haiwang shook his head, "This is not what we need to care about."

Hai Shaoxia never let him bother.

"Yes, we need to focus on the Illuminati and whether their actions can help Superman's current situation."

Batman thought about it.

At this moment, the system said: "The subsystems in Superman have successfully retired."

"……What do you mean?"

"I mean, just a second ago, it completely solved the firewall built by Kryptonian AI combined with the will of the universe. I can feel it transmitting the underlying code to me. Superman should now find himself unable to talk to it , for it has departed from him."

Green Lantern noticed a momentary shock in Batman's expression, which even the black mask couldn't quite cover.

The Dark Knight stood up abruptly and said, "Wait a minute, there is another important matter to attend to."

He glanced at everyone present, was silent for a while, and said, "I need to talk to Superman alone."

"Why?" Howl asked, frowning, "Is there anything we can't let us know?"

"Sorry." Batman said blankly.

Diana crossed her arms and stood up first: "I need a reasonable explanation later."

"You'll get it."

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, followed in Wonder Woman's footsteps and exited the warehouse.

The moment the door closed, Batman growled in a low voice: "What happened?!"

"Calm down." It was Superman who answered him.The expression of the Kryptonian is very strange, mixed with sadness and hesitation: "I also felt it suddenly, it's very strange... I don't know how to say it, it's like an old friend who has been with me all the time. Disappeared from me."

"..."

"But the system is immortal, you know. It just... changed its form of existence, fell into a dormant state, and merged with its body."

Yet Batman just looks at him.

Or rather, Moses looked at him.

He said slowly, "You are Kal-El now."

"I still prefer you to call me Clark."

It may not be just the system that returns.

Moses wasn't sure, he felt confusion like never before.The system did say that the Superman soul sleeping in that body would wake up one day, and now that the subsystem responsible for splitting consciousness has disappeared, is it Superman or another self who is talking to him?

At the same time, Batman's suspicion and vigilance are forcing him to think in other directions-if it is Superman himself who is talking to him, how much of Superman's memory is retained?Does Superman understand his current situation and purpose?Could Superman be affected by memories from parallel universes?Will Superman trust him, and can he trust the other?

In an instant, the possible bad endings caused by various changes in the situation made him relive the anxiety that was the same as when the system notified that there was an alien invasion.

And in fact, even if this situation was conceived in advance, Moses thought that Batman would wake up first in chronological order.

However, when he was calming down and brainstorming to calm the emotions of both parties and choose an appropriate solution, Superman said, "Moses is a good name."

A sense of crisis gripped Moses' heart immediately.

He didn't know why... Maybe on the other hand, he thought, according to ordinary human logic, if Superman retained his memory and knew what he did, there would be an illusion that the poor imitator was being checked by the master.

Having said that, he didn't feel awkward, just tense, as if something buried was being lifted out into the sunlight.

Superman saw his refusal, and still insisted: "Do you know that this name is actually—" There was an inexplicable pause, the Kryptonian opened and closed his mouth, frowning as if he was thinking about words, "I don't think you It's just that 'we' used to think that ordinary people are so simple, I don't know if you, as Batman, have doubted it."

"..."

Absolutely not.

The memory belonging to Moses is very complete, from birth to signing the contract with the system without interruption, his own true identity is like Clark to Superman, it is the basic disk to maintain his rationality and self-cognition.

After Superman finished speaking, a tiny questioning voice suddenly appeared in Batman's heart, asking: "If you are really an ordinary person who has never been in contact with the superhero world, will it be too fast to adapt to the lack of memory?" Soon?"

The system said before that the body will have its own instinctive assistance.

The voice from his own continued: "Okay, but splitting the soul is known to lead to madness. Even if there is a system to help, why have you never been in chaos in the traditional way of thinking of humans?"

“And you see, your reasons for signing a contract with the system are not good enough. If you have a good job, a fulfilling relationship, no lofty aspirations, and no dissatisfaction with reality, why give up your daily life and devote yourself entirely to a high-risk high-reward business. Work—high rewards is what the system says, but it doesn’t really introduce what rewards and wages are, right.”

"..."

It is true that some places cannot withstand scrutiny, but they are not unexplainable.

"I don't want to overthrow the system's statement." For a long time, he said lightly, "Especially because it sacrificed itself to help you."

"I don't like to doubt a friend either," replied Superman immediately, "but I'm talking about something else. Let me tell you, even now, I don't think the man who calls himself 'Moses' It's not me, do you understand what I mean?"

The pupils beneath Batman's mask narrowed.

The system in him has been silent from the moment they started the conversation, not defending itself even when openly discussed.

"'Moses' means, 'pulled up from the water' in Hebrew."

"If the world were an ocean, who would lend a helping hand?"

The name 'Moses' seems to hide a metaphor.

In the Bible, the sage of the same name talks with God and leads the Hebrew people suffering from slavery to migrate from Egypt to the land promised by God.

And without the aura of mythology, the name itself is also linked with similar meanings such as 'salvation' or 'help'.

In today's society, when it comes to related terms, there is a more universal and representative name-superhero.
