When the Super British Ruled the Earth[British and American]

Although Superman came to Metropolis to investigate the incident, he was not so urgent that every second counted.While he was waiting for the report from the person in charge of the operation, he still had a leisurely date with Xilia.They usually go shopping and eating in crowded places. Superman can use his ears to filter the conversations of people in the metropolis.However, he still didn't get anything, and no one seemed to be plotting anything wrong.

It was another sunny day in the metropolis, and it was a weekend, so there were extraordinarily many people on the streets.

But for journalists, especially for the multimedia companies derived from "Daily Planet", it seems that the more important they are, the less they have vacations.

It’s just that there is nothing new under the sun, especially in today’s society. The media seems to be able to report less and less. Even if there are some crimes or building collapses, the reporters cannot report without official permission. .Now Planet Daily and many other newspapers are about to turn into entertainment newspapers.

Despite this, Louise Lane still does not give herself a holiday for ten years.This day is the weekend, so she is still doing housework at home, and she plans to go to the company to clean up the work in the afternoon.

Just as the woman was bending over to wipe the floor, the cell phone rang from the kitchen.

Louise straightened her back, and she walked towards the kitchen, only to see two identical mobile phones on the bar.She was sure the one on the left was hers because it had a small scratch, but the one on the right...

How could there be an extra mobile phone in her home?

The reporter's intuition made Louise vigilant. She reached out, picked up the strange mobile phone, and connected the call.

"Hey."

"Hello, Louise Lane." A processed male voice sounded on the other end of the phone, and he said slowly, "You are a very good reporter, ma'am. I have known you for a long time..."

Louise frowned slowly, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I know what you want." The man said, "You've been chasing Superman for 18 years, haven't you? It's just a pity... In this day and age, if no one helps you, you I'm afraid I'll never see him again."

"you--"

"Don't talk, miss, be careful that the wall has ears." The man smiled softly, "Now I will give you a chance to get close to Superman. If you are not interested, you can just hang up the phone. By the way, the robot police can't detect me , but can capture what you are saying. So...be careful when you speak."

Louise naturally understood what the other party meant, and the detectors hovering in the sky were used for this purpose.They will automatically filter out everyday language in the early stage, and capture those sensitive words.

She should hang up the call, her future is bright now, as long as she climbs slowly, she will stand at the top of the media industry sooner or later.

But... a phone call that cannot be traced, a strange man, and his tone of voice that knows Superman well... Louise's professional sensitivity made her aware of the danger hidden behind it.This unpredictable and dangerous breath was so refreshing that Louise's heart beat rapidly.

"Why are you doing this?" Louise said in a deep voice, "Why me?"

"This world needs different voices and thinking, and more importantly, people who dare to intervene in all of this." The man said, "We are not enemies, Louise. On the contrary, we are pursuing the same thing. I will tell you some secrets, as for Whether you dare to accept it - that is up to you."

It was obvious that Louise couldn't refuse his offer.She has never been afraid of danger, what she needs is the truth, something more profound.

According to the instructions of the mysterious man, Louise came to the entertainment and shopping center in the pedestrian street full of people. It was crowded with people who came out to go shopping on weekends.

"Next, we'd better use information to communicate." On the other end of the phone, the mysterious man said, "Louise, look to the shopping plaza to the southwest of you. Remember, don't get too close."

The phone was hung up.

Louise looked towards the place the mysterious man said, and saw that on the opposite side of the street where people were coming and going, the shopping plaza was full of people, with passers-by in the middle, and there were always open-air water bars on both sides, and everyone under the sun umbrella One seat is already full.

She was at a great distance from there, invisible to the naked eye.So Louise turned on the camera hanging around her neck and stared at it in a zoomed-in mode.It wasn't hard for her to see the target task—because she saw Clark.

Last time she complained about his clothes, this time the man seemed to have improved a lot.He was wearing a long windbreaker with a casual suit vest and trousers inside, which lined his waistline perfectly and his legs were very long.Most importantly, although Clark still wore glasses, he finally changed to a better-looking frame, at least not so obtrusive.

Every time I met him again, Louise suddenly wondered how did the intern who had no temperament and mediocrity become what he is now?They look so different that they don't connect at all.

But soon Louise came back to her senses, because Clark sat down with his back to her, and Louise's eyes immediately fell on the person opposite him - the girl who looked very young.The two were dressed as couples. Clark's long gray trench coat was a short gray British suit jacket on her body, and the clothes and matching were all referenced to each other.

Louise finally saw the face of this young girl from the front again... She has paler skin than ordinary Americans, and her long curly black hair makes her look like she is from a small country. Her facial features are exquisite, and the most eye-catching thing is her s eyes.

Those light blue eyes are as clear and translucent as jewels.Humans rarely have such shallow and pure eyes, so it is easy for people to look away.

Louise just stayed on her face for two more seconds. After another blink, the girl who was staring at Clark had already raised her head. A distance of 500 meters, those bright and bottomless eyes had already looked straight at Clark. Louise's shot.

The two looked at each other through the camera. At that moment, Louise's hand trembled, and she took two steps back and disappeared around the corner of the street.

How strange, at that moment, she felt a momentary fear of this young girl who was more than ten years younger than her...?How can this be?

Louise didn't know Celia's identity, and she naturally didn't know either. Although she looked gentle and cute, Celia grew up among a group of killer fighters and received the most rigorous training. Naturally, she couldn't be as she appeared Mild and harmless.It is quite normal for modern people on earth who have never seen war to be shocked by her glance.

In the midst of people coming and going, Louise leaned against the wall behind the corner, put down her camera, and sent a message to the mysterious person.

【What exactly do you mean?Why did you bring me here? 】

The other party didn't keep her waiting, and quickly replied: [Be safe and don't be impatient, Louise.I've invited you here to show you an opening scene - don't be intimidated by what happens next, the curtain has opened and everyone is an actor. 】

Louise frowned. She didn't understand what the other party meant, but no matter how much she asked, the other party would not reply.

>>>

On the other side, Celia looked away, and Clark looked at her.The man tilted his head slightly, staring at her with azure blue eyes, asking her silently 'what's the matter'.

Although she didn't see her face, Celia knew that the person with the camera pointed at her was Louise.Although many people took pictures with their mobile phones on this road, Xi Liya was still convinced that the person was her.

She almost felt that Louise was a stalker, otherwise why would Louise happen to appear again and again?

But it doesn't matter.

On Celia's wrist, the sapphires on the silver Kryptonian necklace gleamed.

Her previous anger also contained a lack of confidence in her ignorance of human beings.Now she understands, she has confirmed Superman's sincerity, she is sure that she is indeed irreplaceable to him, then there is no need to care about other people.

The two continued to drink milk tea and eat dessert. Suddenly, Celia noticed that Clark's body froze suddenly. Superman was like a beast that suddenly saw its prey. He seemed to be alert from his eyes to his momentum to every pore.

"What's wrong?" Celia asked.

Superman slowly raised his head and looked at the skyscraper across the street from them.

"Something's wrong," he said.

In the man's terrifying super hearing, amidst thousands of people talking, shopping, street noise and music, he heard a slight clicking sound coming from the shopping mall opposite.

Superman's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and he immediately called up the authority panel in the contact lens, and switched over the surveillance in that mall—but everything was normal.Clark's intuition told him that there was still a problem. Under his instructions, the two circular robot policemen who were originally on the road entered the mall from the entrance.

Clark didn't make it clear, but Celia probably saw that something was going on, and she didn't make a sound.While the man was still sitting in front of her, his mood was obviously not here anymore.

Two circular machines were flying in the shopping mall, scanning the building, and the shopping citizens stopped and whispered when they saw them... In the impression of ordinary people, these round white spheres seem to be like traffic lights They only live on the side of the street and have never seen them move.

The robot police scanned the entire building at an extremely fast speed, and soon, the robot blessed with advanced alien technology had already found out that something was wrong—this [-]th-floor building was located on the first, sixth, twelfth, and tenth floors. There are special devices on the fifth floor, which are preliminarily judged to be timing explosives, and the subtle sound that Superman just heard is the sound of the timing starting to operate.

how can that be? ?

Under the monitoring of countless mechanical eyes, how could someone escape identity analysis, credit rating, and all cameras, and install a bomb/bomb in such a crowded place? ?

No time to wonder and shock.At the same time that the danger was detected, several balls patrolling the block flew over. At the same time, the mall began to circulate broadcasts to evacuate the crowd.

Humanity has not experienced terror/attack for too long.Although the radio started to play, the robot police began to gather here, and there were still a lot of people watching the fun, not taking it seriously, even if they left, they were not in a hurry, not at all in a hurry.

Moreover, there is a pedestrian street outside the shopping mall, and the crowd/flow is too dense.

Superman frowned, and he continued to click on the permission option, one of the robot police balls flew into the sky, and then turned on the loudspeaker.

[Citizens near XX, XY, and YY are requested to evacuate the pedestrian street in an orderly manner immediately, please be located at...]

At the same time, in this building, the white ball began to melt like a white chocolate ball. From the ball, the white skeletal robot stretched its body. They came to the place where the emergency was discovered in groups of two, and began to conduct research and dismantle it. untie.

The countdown time for the explosives is very loose, probably because it was discovered early, and there are more than fourteen minutes left in the time.But there are still a lot of people in the store looking left and right, wandering around... Several of the skeletal robots began to forcibly clean up people from the top floor.

On the pedestrian street, the confused citizens began to disperse, but most of them chose to cross the road a little further away before continuing to watch the excitement. A large number of people began to gather in the square where Celia and Clark were.

Fortunately, under the supervision of skeletal robots, they cleared the entire building in 10 minutes.

With 3 minutes left in the countdown, the skeletal robot stopped all bombs/bombs.

...Looks like a false alarm?

Still, Superman frowned, not letting up that the emergency had been lifted.The man's intuition told him, no, there must be something strange about this matter... Since the other party can avoid all kinds of monitoring and install explosives, how could it be so far?It's all too easy.

People crowded together and talked a lot, not knowing what happened, and in the building, many white robots were searching the entire building for the second time.

At this moment, Superman suddenly heard a faint heartbeat - he entered the perspective mode with his eyes, and through the wall, he saw a person curled up in the toilet in the northeast corner of the seventeenth floor of the high-rise building. Suddenly, this person had no time to evacuate, and he didn't know what happened, so he found a corner to hide.

Under Clark's instruction, the robots on the nearby floors immediately moved towards the person's location, and in front of Clark's eyes, the cameras on the heads of each robot were displayed in front of him.

Just when one of the robots came to the seventeenth floor, he saw that the robot on the fifth floor turned on the exhaust fan in the emergency exit stairs, and in the exhaust vent, from the perspective of the robot, he saw a safe emitting a bright green light. shine.

Something is not right.

Clark withdrew his consciousness, and he met Celia's gaze.In the crowd, the two did not speak, they stared at each other, Clark took off his coat and handed it to Celia, and then got into the crowd.

Louise, who was watching from the crowd at the far corner, also frowned.Everything now is really absurd, she doesn't know what that mysterious man did, but he actually wants to use ordinary people as an introduction? !Just as she was about to turn on her phone to question the matter, she saw Clark disappear through the crowd, leaving only the young girl sitting leisurely at the round table.

Louise's keenness made it all feel weird, and she walked forward through the crowd, regardless of the man's advice, and called him directly.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but I warn you—"

"Don't worry, Miss Lane." On the other side of the microphone, the person said flatly, "If I want to attack terrorists, will I still have 15 minutes for those robots to evacuate civilians?"

"But--"

The signal is gone.Louise raised her head and looked at the round table again, but the girl was gone.

Louise frowned, she looked around in the crowd, and suddenly, her wrist was clamped by a soft and cold finger.She turned her head abruptly, and met the young girl's icy blue eyes at close range.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Reporter," said the young girl. "My name is Celia. Nice to meet you. Now tell me, why are you here?"

"What's going on now?" Louise asked back.

"I think people who are hiding with their mobile phones should explain more." Xilia said.

Although the two were more than ten years apart, they never gave in when they looked at each other.

"Is there anything in this building?" Louise stepped back.

"It should be a bomb." Celia said, "I guess it's a bit tricky."

Louise's heartbeat quickened, she looked at the crowd of people crowded together on the pedestrian street, she murmured, "We should evacuate the crowd... this is a bit weird..."

"You are the weirdest earthling I've ever seen." Celia complained.

Louise wanted to shake off Celia's hand, but for the first time, she didn't have the strength to shake Celia at all.The second time, she managed to break free.

Louise turned her head to look at the onlookers. She waved her arms and shouted loudly, "Get out of here, don't look, this place is very dangerous!"

But her voice was almost inaudible in the noisy discussion of countless people, and no one noticed it at all.

There was no need for her to yell a second time, there was already a loud noise from the building behind the two of them—there was an explosion in the lower floors, the ground was shaking, and all the nearby glass was shattered.

There was screaming from the crowd, and the citizens started to back away, but hell, they would rather stand further away and stop to take pictures with their phones than just leave here.Some people have left, but thousands more are stranded not far away, staying in other nearby shopping malls.

When everyone was retreating, Celia was still standing there. She stared at the building where the explosion had just occurred, and frowned... If Superman had already rushed, how could the explosion happen?

Her brain was spinning rapidly.She believed that Superman would prefer to let the Robo-cop handle the matter, if he could.After all, this is a pedestrian street where crowds gather. If he makes a rash move and gets the attention of ordinary humans, it will definitely cause panic on a wider scale.So Clark decided to take care of it himself, he must have seen something grim.Also, he didn't stop the explosion, what does that mean?

Celia was still thinking, when she suddenly felt that someone was grabbing her arm. She turned her head and met Louise Lane's eyes.Obviously, the latter did not expect her strength to be unable to shake the slightest bit of this young girl.

"Get out of here quickly, the building may collapse at any moment!" Louise said.

The two had never spoken to each other before today, but what was strange and harmonious was that they knew who the other was because of Clark, so now they had no communication difficulties at all, as if they had known each other for a long time.

They ran towards the place where the crowd gathered in the distance, but at this moment, Louise suddenly turned around in front of Xilia.

A little boy's toy seemed to have fallen on the road not far away in the chaos of people evacuating just after the explosion. The boy had been struggling and crying in his mother's arms.They were already among the crowd in the distance, but the child fell out of the adult's embrace. The adult was squeezed by the people in front, back, left and right, but the little boy slipped out from the adult's legs. A man ran to the road.

Louise didn't hear the mother's anxious screams among the crowd, but she saw the little boy. She changed direction and ran towards the boy, hugging him across the waist.

At the same time, the second explosion struck, the ground shook, the flames shot into the sky, the building was crumbling, the high-altitude wall peeled off, and fell to the ground - everyone screamed and retreated to the rear, Louise was too close and it was too late Now, she simply hugged the boy in her arms, bent over and squatted down...

The imaginary pain and heavy blows did not come, Louise slowly raised her head, and saw that all the falling objects were suspended above three meters, and there were still falling cement and glass in the sky, all like It was intercepted above everyone's heads like an invisible net.Then, those falling objects were properly placed on the side of the street.

The little boy struggled, Louise let him go, the boy ran to his mother, Louise subconsciously looked at Celia who was not far away.

Even though the young girl didn't seem to be doing anything, and didn't wave her arms like those superpowers in the comics, although Silia had made the action so concise that she twisted her wrist at that moment, Louise still knew This must be her doing.

Although Xilia disguised well, when everyone was running away or subconsciously stretching their arms to block, only Xilia stood motionless with a calm expression.

She did understand humans more and more, but she still hadn't learned how to truly pretend to be an ordinary person.

Louise walked towards her, the woman looked complicated.

"You're a superhuman," she said. "Why are you in an urban area where ordinary people are?"

Celia looked at Louise.She is half a head shorter than Louise, who is 170 in height and estimated to be around 174 in high heels, as if she does not have an advantage in momentum.And Xilia's expression was also very calm and indifferent, but her eyes still gave people pressure.

"It's time for you to answer my question, Miss Reporter." Xilia said, "Maybe the first two encounters were by chance, but this time, you came with a purpose."

Louise immediately realized that this young girl and herself were intelligent people with keen senses. Celia did not hide her superpower status from her because she knew that Louise would not believe a lie.So it's the same now, Celia sees that she has a purpose, and Louise also understands that she can't deceive her.

As an industry benchmark with a distinctive personality and a strong woman, Louise understands that she is as smart as herself and does not need those roundabout routines.So for the first time she handed over the truth so easily.

"I got a weird call today," she said. "A man asked me to come here and he was going to show me something, but I didn't expect it to be a terror/attack/attack..."

"What is he going to show you?" Celia asked.

Louise was about to speak, but saw Celia frowned suddenly.Celia suddenly stretched out her hands, and then, almost in the next second, there was a third explosion, and half of the overwhelmed building began to collapse.

The crowd burst into screams, but Louise was much calmer. She knew that Celia could solve the trouble, so she didn't dodge or dodge, but looked up.

Because of such a glance, Louise froze in place.

Among the many shattered concrete walls and crystal fragments that were slowed down by Xilia, under the dazzling sunlight, a white figure slowly descended from the sky along with the broken stones and glass fragments around him.

His white cloak fluttered in the air, reflecting the cold whiteness without temperature.The sun shines on the ground along the edge of the sculptural perfect figure, just like the son of God descending into the world.

The man slowly landed on the ground, a stroke of his black hair that was wiped back was hanging over his forehead due to the explosion wave, looking soft and approachable.But those deep blue eyes revealed a completely different kind of coldness, and there was a terrible anger hidden under the frozen sea.

His hands were clenched tightly by the collar of a man, who was already limp on the ground, as if he had lost the will to run for his life.

Perhaps, the moment anyone looked at Bai Chao, they would want to collapse to the ground.

The strange calm lasted for tens of seconds, and the humans gathered like lambs looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

"—Superman, it's Superman!!!!"

I don't know who opened the first sound first, and people suddenly came back to their senses.The explosion of the building just now couldn't stop them from watching the excitement, but when humans realized that the person standing there was really Superman, the screams almost overturned the metropolis.

They fled in a hurry, some fell to the ground, some screamed and even cried in fear. The crowd that could not be dispersed just now moved like beasts entering the sheepfold. People pushed each other to escape, but because the white Superman stood it's here.

In an instant, there were only three people left on the road.

"...My 17-year guess is true..." Louise stared blankly at Superman, and she murmured, "Clark, you...you are actually Superman?"

Superman didn't speak.His thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was a terrible coldness in his deep blue eyes.His eyes swept across Louise coldly and calmly, and looked at the screaming civilians fleeing in the distance.

Behind him, white skeletal robots are gathering into two lines. Some of them are as white as new, and some have been stained with the smoke of the explosion, but they are still a neat and clean white army.

"Investigate all the people who appeared here today." Superman's thin lips parted slightly, his eyes were majestic and gloomy, "Anyone who is suspected will control the investigation."

The robot army obeys.Two robots grabbed the man in Superman's hands, and the other two came to Louise and raised her arms, while the woman was still staring at his face in amazement, not yet recovered.

And while this is happening, Celia seems to be on the loose.

She is still savoring the moment.

Fear, awe, cry.It's all like the perfect seasoning to make this man look sexier and more attractive than usual.

She likes the superman who is feared by the world, she likes it.This kind of liking is almost transformed into the most primitive sexuality/desire of a creature, which makes her anxious and loves her.

When the robot took the suspect away and Superman walked towards her, he seemed to say something, but Celia didn't catch a word of it.At this moment, she just wanted to kiss him, to share in this inner restlessness.

Celia did exactly that.

In the deserted street, before the ruins and ashes, Celia kissed him on the lips, and Superman seemed completely ignorant of the origin of this inexplicable kiss, which he was accustomed to despite the inopportune moment. hugged her waist.

Finally, the two separated from each other, Celia raised her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"What did you just say?" she asked cheerfully.
