In the office of the president of Lex Enterprises in the metropolis, after telling Savage about his past, why he joined the Illuminati, and the reason for backstabbing Savage, Savage will also send an investigation report Put it in front of Lex. After reading the report, Lex's expression also became ugly, because he couldn't believe what was in the report. Emotionally, he didn't want to believe it, but rationally, he understood that Savage would not fabricate a fake report. for myself.
"Are you sure my mother did it!" Taking a deep breath, Lex confirmed again.
"Unless your father is still alive in the story you told me, otherwise, besides you and your sister, the one who can mobilize the resources of the enterprise is your mother. After all, before you officially became the leader of Lex Enterprise Your mother is managing this enterprise, and if she wants to leave behind something that you won’t know about, she can still do it.” Shaking the wine glass that had bottomed out, Savage also walked in front of the gloomy-looking Lex, He patted his shoulder and continued.
"As a friend, I have to advise you that sometimes you have to stop and stop. Your mother is also using you. You'd better have thought of a solution to all this. Otherwise, you won't know what happened later. I want to see it, and I don’t want to either. Your mother is now directly standing on the earth, standing on the opposite side of human beings.”
Regarding Savage's advice, Lex took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "I know this, so as a friend, can you help me keep this secret and let me handle it myself."
Looking at the way Lex looked at him, Savage also understood that Lex was the same kind of person as himself, and many times they could sacrifice everyone for everything they arranged, but at certain times, they were also vulnerable Savage is very aware of the vulnerable, especially when it comes to his relatives, no matter how powerful and smart they are, they cannot make a correct decision, but he still gave Lex the right to choose once.
"I'll give you time. Before Clark takes office, you must finish this matter. Otherwise, I can only choose to explain the situation to Clark and the Justice League, tell them about your mother, and her teaming up with Apocalypse , is likely to spoil the situation at the inauguration ceremony, you should be clear that Clark's appointment can be said to be a turning point in history, I don't want this turning point to represent the turning point of human beings and the end of the earth."
"Understood, that means there is still about a month left, that's enough, leave it to me, and I will go to her to settle everything."
"Then you'd better do what you say. Today's conversation is limited to you and me. Goodbye, Lex."
Putting down the cup, Savage left Lex's office with his hands behind his back. And after Lex watched Savage leave, his whole body turned into a puddle of mud and slumped on the chair as if his spine had been pulled out. At the same time, he also looked at the report on the table, opened a corner of the report, looked at the year and month displayed on it, and some relevant information, and couldn't help but smile wryly at the sky.
"If it wasn't for Savage, I really didn't expect that there would be so many secrets about what happened in the past, especially you, mother, I understand why you cooperated with Apocalypse, but this reason, and What you have done is really bloody and excessive."
Sighing, Lex stuffed the report into the drawer of his desk, and in the corner he opened, the year on it showed 1996, an old event that happened 25 years ago , and this old story has become the source of his mother's cooperation with Apocalypse. If this is true, Lex just feels that life is too fucking disgusting.
While Lex was still regretting the mistakes his mother made, in the Lex manor in his hometown, Leticia Luthor, who had returned, was having a mother-daughter conversation with Lena.
In order for Lena to have a normal childhood,
Lex performed a memory cleanse on Lena when she was a child, implanting a fake and happy family life in Lena. She, who has no memory of what happened to her parents when she was a child, is now resting on her mother's lap, just like the false memory in her mind, telling her mother what happened in these years.
"Mom, why are people so weird? Sometimes you obviously already have everything, but you just lose something that you haven't said must belong to you, but it can make people feel so uncomfortable, like feeling lost. The whole world is the same."
Lying on her mother's lap, Lena was also talking about her mood at the moment. It's not easy for Lena to tell other people about this kind of emotional matter. The main reason is that she doesn't know who to talk to. If she tells her friends in Teen Titans, it will spread in a while. In the ears of Ke Wen and Kara, she would have to face the two of them at that time, Lena didn't want to do this, it made it seem like she needed pity.
But if she didn't tell her friends in Teen Titans, she would realize that she didn't seem to have any friends around her. She thought about her past carefully. From elementary school to university, she had always lived alone, except herself. brother. It was after getting to know Ke Wen, Kara, and Zatanna that her social circle grew. Thinking of this, she felt depressed again.
When Lena shared her troubles and troubles with her mother, in the words of Lex and Savage, she colluded with Apocalypse, reached a cooperation with Apocalypse, and appeared in Lex with an unknown purpose. Leticia's eyes flickered when she listened to her daughter's words. While stroking his daughter's hair, he also quietly took out a box from behind him and put it beside him. As Leticia flipped the switch, a string of graceful music played from the box.
The light, sweet music reverberated in the manor, which also relieved Lena's depressed mood. And Leticia said there at this time.
"Lena, my dear daughter, it's like this sometimes. It's not that the thing doesn't belong to you, it's just that you just missed it, and you can't help it."
Hearing her mother answering herself like this, Lena felt mixed feelings for a moment, and felt that her originally depressed mood became even more depressed in this brisk music, and she even felt a little unhappy. I don't know if it was because of her mother's answer , I'm still upset why I missed it. Obviously, Leticia also noticed the changes in her daughter, and continued to speak there, changing her comforting tone.
"But so what if you miss it, if that's what you want, no matter who gets it first, if you get it back, then it's yours?"
"Get it back?"
Lying on her mother's lap, Lena was also repeating Leticia's words, while her eyes were a little dull.
"Yeah, grab it back, since it's what I want, even if it has become someone else's property, I still have to grab it back, even if the person who got it is my good friend, it's the best if she consciously gives it to you. , if she doesn't give it, then kill her, then snatch it back, and hold him in your own hands forever."
"Yeah, snatch it back, I'll kill whoever snatches it from me, that's all right."
Amidst the light music, Lena kept repeating her mother's words there, and Leticia also looked at the box that released the light music. On the box, an Ω cursor loomed. Leticia looked at the looming cursor and said softly, "For Darkseid."
Unknown changes are quietly going on in this manor.
On this day, Lex Luthor, who was supposed to be working at the headquarters of Lex Enterprise in Metropolis, quietly left Metropolis, and no one knew where he was going. And for the earth, for the world, a storm surrounding Clark Kent, who was once the most powerful superhero in the world-Superman, is also gathering invisible. Of course, no one knows about all this.
Now all over the world, people are discussing about this former Superman, discussing how the situation of the world will change when he officially moves into the White House at the end of January and becomes the president of this superpower, towards a brighter future, Or back to the 20th century, and a new wave of the Cold War began. As for the second possibility, no one thinks that it will not happen. You were a superman before, representing all the good sides of human beings. Wei Guang is talking about you.
But now, the halo of being a superman has disappeared, and you, who have become an ordinary person, face this monstrous power, and it is hard to say whether you can maintain everything you were a superman before. After all, you have made a lot of promises before taking office, and you have been accustomed to denying things after you took office. People want to see, as the first president who is different, will you make a different choice, or follow him? It's the same as the previous ones, one thing on the surface and another thing behind the back. If this is the case, people may have more to talk about after dinner.
For example, the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, even if it is an alien.
But for Ke Wen, his task is relatively heavy. He is obviously going to go on a big adventure in the universe. Before the big adventure, he can be regarded as saying goodbye to being single, but he has not enjoyed the fun of falling in love, so he has to be fart. Dian ran back to Shanghai and came to the China Ministry of Self-improvement as a lobbyist, persuading the new generation headed by Kong Kenan, Wang Boxi, and Peng Qingdai to join the International Justice League proposed by Clark.
In the conference room, Kong Kenan's trio were sitting there, and as the head of the new superpower department that created the Huaxia Self-improvement Department, Kong Kenan's mother, Dr. Chen, was sitting in the main seat, listening to Ke Wen's meeting with Clark talks about why the Justice League International was formed. After basically recounting Clarke's thoughts on forming the International Justice League, Ke Wen did not continue, but gave the right to speak to Dr. Chen, because he knew that it was she who could make the decision and get the people in power to agree. .
After listening to Ke Wen's explanation in detail, Dr. Chen also fell silent, looked at Ke Wen in front of him for a long time, and then asked: "Before I reply to you, you have to answer a few questions for me, is that okay, Ke Wen?" arts?"
"You say what you say." Ke Wen didn't have any airs about this big boss who was listening to the sky. He directly put himself in the position of the younger generation and let Dr. Chen ask questions.
"First of all, the first point, once they overcome difficulties, they join the International Justice League, and with the former Justice League, including the organization you belong to called Teen Titans, to be honest, you guys are all in their 20s and still call themselves teenagers. Is it too much for the Titans? Anyway, when they are in conflict with these people, who do you help, especially when conflicts arise because of national interests."
As soon as he came up, Dr. Chen asked the most critical question, which made Ke Wen stunned. To be honest, this question is not easy to answer. After all, Ke Wen has a special status. As a Chinese, Ke Wen did not do anything that endangered the motherland. He is also competent as a hero, but once anything is linked to interests, the essence will change. This is unavoidable, especially for Ke Wen. Wen, the Kamen Rider, is still active overseas, and his base camp is also overseas. I can't be backstabbed by my own people at that time, isn't that a fool?
"Ah, here, you just zoom in when you come up, Dr. Chen." Embarrassed for a moment, Ke Wen vomited a bad trough to cover up his uneasy mood at the moment.
"This is the answer I must know. The International Justice League has a good starting point, but everything has to be thought of as the worst. It's not like you haven't seen a bunch of intrigues in the United Nations. I just want to know which side you stand on, and you must Give an answer."
Scratching his head, Ke Wen also made his own answer.
"Since you asked this question, let me tell you the same thing, Dr. Chen, if it wasn't us who took the initiative to provoke trouble, and at the same time, my friends did things against their will that would harm the country without telling me. , and will also target Ke Nan and them, then don't worry, I will definitely stand on Ke Nan's side, and vice versa, this is my principle, I don't help relatives, I can't go against my conscience because of my personal identity, But I don’t think we have fallen to the point of playing tricks in international organizations, at least as far as I know, we have never been the ones who take the initiative, we have always been the most responsible ones.”
Nodding his head, Dr. Chen is quite satisfied with the answer given by Ke Wen. If the reason is not on his side, it is obviously a hooligan to ask others to help him.
"I am satisfied with this answer for the time being. Then the second question, can you guarantee that after Clark Kent takes office as president, he will maintain his original intention? He is Clark Kent now, not Superman."
"Ah, about this, I can answer you without any consideration, Clark Kent, even though he does not exist as a Superman now, but he just gave up his power as a Superman, and his responsibility as a Superman, in his heart But it has never been changed. This is his strongest point, and it is also the reason why I support his desire to run for president. He is more suitable than anyone else to be the president.
Because he has never forgotten his responsibility, whether as a Superman or Clark Kent, he only wants to exist as a banner to let the earth and mankind move towards a new future. It's just that as a superman, his powerful power makes human beings lazy and loses the possibility of progress. But as Clark Kent, he participated in it, and even if he fell, the next person would take his banner and move on.
He doesn't care who takes over the banner, as long as it can inherit his idea, that's fine. Now is a good time. We human beings have been trapped on the earth for a long time. We don’t want to go out, but we limit ourselves. Now Clark Kent is no longer Superman. Soon, the universe will know the earth Without Superman, at that time, should we go out passively, or take advantage of this golden age to take the first step ahead of time.
As far as I know, isn’t our country currently carrying out an aerospace and lunar exploration project? The satellites are all ready to be launched, and the lunar soil is accurately collected to proceed to the next step. But why not take a step forward, such as direct manned landing on the moon, mining, helium-3 ore, although the world's technology can destroy human beings dozens of times, but in terms of going out, we seem to have made no progress Come on, do you really think about becoming the first country to mine on the moon and establish a base in this era? "
The simple and straightforward benefits made Dr. Chen no longer want to continue asking. When the whole world knew that Superman was an alien, Wuchang wanted to obtain the secret of Kryptonian technology from Superman. An extraterrestrial civilization that can cross the universe and come to the earth, what kind of attraction does their aerospace technology have for the earth? Power is obvious. It's just that Superman is well protected, and basically no one can explore the location of the Fortress of Solitude.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the earth’s black technology can’t be used in spaceflight. Everyone has restored a part of the wreckage left by Darkseid when he invaded the earth. Even Lex and Batman can make things out of space. But this is different. The first point is that these are all black technologies, which have been assembled with various efforts of my thinking. They cannot be reproduced on a large scale, and they are produced as an assembly line.
Secondly, it is basically to meet personal purposes. In terms of application and function, there are biases. The resources and money consumed are not generally large. All have to lose half their lives in blood. But Kryptonian technology is different. A complete set of Kryptonian technology is enough to bring various inspirations to the earth. Those stagnant physical formulas and scientific conjectures may get a new extension and become truly their own. thing.
And on this basis, extend the earth's own aerospace technology, and embark on a path different from Krypton.
This moved Dr. Chen's heart. Even the Huaxia Self-improvement Department, a department with a lot of black technology, could not ignore the temptation brought by a complete set of Kryptonian technology.
"Can I trust Clark Kent to do this?"
"You can believe me, before I existed as a Kamen Rider Riki, I was first of all a Chinese. It is impossible for me to watch my motherland's status regress in the world. I know better than anyone that I will be beaten if I fall behind."
Ke Wen also said the same. While Ke Wen was discussing with Dr. Chen, Kong Kenan who was sitting on the side also raised his hand to speak.
"Mom, no, Dr. Chen, can I say a few words?"
After glancing at his son, Dr. Chen nodded.
"Cough, although I don't know whether Clark Kent will do this, but if he wants to do something that hurts us and this country, then don't worry, I will win, because I am also a superman, and I belong to Superman of this country!"
As he said that, Kong Kenan also revealed the S logo with Chinese red on his chest. Seeing his son's sincere face and Ke Wen's eyes, Dr. Chen nodded slowly.
After a long time, Ke Wen also walked out from the Huaxia Self-improvement Department, and stretched out looking at the sky.
"Phew, this is half done. I can't control what kind of choices people will make next, but after this matter is settled, I should go to the universe to let the air go. It can be regarded as liberation."
Looking at the blue sky above his head, Ke Wen also had some expectations for the scenery outside the earth.
