Chapter 16 Preparations Before Leaving Earth

"Knights of the DC House ()" Find the latest chapter!

The winter in the south is really poisonous. I can't feel my hands coding, and even my thinking has stopped.

In the Fortress of Solitude, when Clark and his son, Jonathan Jr., staged a scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety because of the generational issues between father and son, Ke Wen, who left the Fortress of Solitude, also lay down on the sofa after returning to his office. to rest. It's just that after closing his eyes for a while, he sat up in shock. His wide eyes also showed how restless he was at this time, because he finally realized that something was wrong in the process of chatting with Clark just now. !

"I should understand what Doomsday is. I am a life born in the new universe, and I have no memory of the old universe at all. Also, he is very clear that the Justice League International and the Justice League are two independent organizations, and he chose me as the speaker." People? No, my identity as a traveler from another universe has been exposed?!"

Recalling the conversation he had with Clark just now, Ke Wen also understood why he felt something was wrong. Because inside and outside the words, Clark was sure that he understood what happened to Doomsday, the old enemy who was destined to kill Superman, and he hadn't turned the corner at that time, and Clark led a lot of topics, such as about the old and new universes. Comparison of the number of Justice League members, comparison of the number of Teen Titans.

It's not that I can't say that. During the rebirth of the memories of the old universe caused by the late old 52 Wally, Ke Wen, who was the center of the storm, naturally received these memories. But if you only talk to Clark through this aspect of memory, then the wording he used in the conversation with Clark just now should be, in the memory of the old universe that I acquired, about Doomsday, about the Justice League and Titans...

He should have used such a sentence pattern, but he didn't, he just completely substituted himself into it, explaining all this from the perspective of an observer. On the one hand, this is a portrayal of his complete integration into this new DC multiverse. On the other hand, such a tone will make people mistakenly think that he was there at the time, but Ke Wen is a life born in a new universe. How could he Active in the old 52 universe era.

Unless he saw all this from other means, such as crossing the fourth wall, his own story exists in the real world in other people's pens and picture books. If it were someone else, Ke Wen would not think so, but Clark is not someone else, he is Superman, and in the past several restarted cosmic eras, it is not that he did not break the fourth wall and talk to the DC editorial department, So with his way of thinking and cognitive scope, it is not unreasonable to judge Ke Wen's true origin through such a dialogue with Ke Wen.

It's just that when Ke Wen thought of this, he became entangled for no reason.

It's not that he can't accept the fact that Clark knows that he is a time traveler. The people he knows are not stupid, they are all top elites. If you compare him to a pack of wolves, then he is one who has mixed into a pack of wolves and has the power of wolves, but in essence he is just a husky, and from time to time he has a painting style that is biased towards the whole pack of wolves.

But for things like the time traveler, he originally thought that he should be the one to confess. In the process of talking to Clark like this, it was very uncomfortable to be regarded as being tricked out by others.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect Clark's IQ and cliché level to skyrocket after losing his power. It's a bit embarrassing."

Scratching his head, Ke Wen also said to himself there, after reacting, he was not so nervous, at least he didn't think that Clark would announce his secret as a time traveler immediately. Of course, in some people's minds, Ke Wen's secret as a time traveler is no longer a secret, and they are just waiting for Ke Wen to confess himself.

Ke Wen never thought that during the period before leaving the earth and going to the universe to find inspiration, there would be such a bunch of messy things to deal with by himself, which had nothing to do with the battle, but all the preparations for the opening of this new era. He has no opinion on Clark International Justice League's proposal,

A superhero organization that gathers the top superheroes from all over the world seems to be a little more convincing than the Justice League.

"Hey, there is a long way to go. Let's think about how to persuade the Huaxia Self-improvement Department. If they don't express their position, isn't the International Justice League organization just like a joke?"

Shaking his head, Ke Wen lay down on the sofa again, wrapped his little quilt tightly, and fell asleep again. It's December, and it's so cold. Even as a superhuman physique, he doesn't suffer from cold and heat, but sometimes the state of cold and heat depends not on his body, but on his mentality. He thinks that in this kind of weather, he should eat hot pot and sing at home, wrap up tightly in the quilt and chase after him. After chasing dramas, the whole world is finally in a harmonious state, so don't make so many things for yourself.

But the world is unpredictable, and now everyone, including Ke Wen, is preparing for the advent of the new era, but secretly, there are some people who do not want the arrival of this new era.

Kansas, the hometown of the Luthor family, Lena, who left Nasino and returned to her old family manor, looked at this manor that she had left in her childhood and never returned since she could remember. Thousands. On the night when Ke Wen and Kara confirmed their relationship, although she, as an insider, had already guessed the result, but as she said at the time, it was impossible for her to say that nothing happened, and she stayed in Nasino If she stays in a city, she will be embarrassed if she doesn't see her when she looks up or down.

And when she had the idea of ​​leaving for a while, by coincidence, the housekeeper in charge of taking care of the old manor called her, saying that her mother who had been away for many years had returned. In addition to being surprised, Lena also had to sigh with emotion, she really wanted to do something, and she was still thinking of an excuse to leave Nasino City for a while, and the excuse came, to go back to her hometown to visit her mother, this The excuse was perfect and invulnerable, and she could stay here as long as she wanted.

Letting out a long breath, Lena also let out the gloom over the past few days because of the confirmed relationship between Ke Wen and Kara, then got out of the car, and entered her manor while being greeted by the butler. The memory of this manor also appeared in his mind.

She and her brother, Lex Luthor, are the children of the late business tycoon, Leonardo Luthor, while her mother, Leticia Luthor, was a socialite who was all the rage at the time, He is also a gentleman. The marriage of my parents is not a romantic love story, it is purely a matter of getting what they need, and my mother was beautiful at the time, and my father was greedy for my mother's body. With his worth and status, as long as he is willing to work hard, it is a good idea for his mother to marry his father. It's a matter of course.

It's just that the Luthers didn't realize at the time how legendary a son and a daughter born by the couple would be. Her older brother, Lex Luthor, is a true genius. Since he can remember, he has shown everything about himself as a genius. Lena doesn't think that those child prodigies published in newspapers are better than her older brother. How amazing is it, and the person who was born after him, although he is also a genius, is still somewhat inferior compared to his brother.

As far as Lena can remember, her family life is fairly harmonious. Although the parents don't have many emotional factors, after having children, they have indeed fulfilled their responsibilities as parents. For his brother's genius, his father didn't promote too much, but did his best and used all the resources to cultivate Lex. Even when he was ten years old, the so-called knowledge education was useless, Lex was already able to absorb the knowledge that humans have groped for so far.

The rest should be used as his own cultivation of morality and character. These are the most important things that determine his brother's life. In Lena's memory, both her father and mother have educated her elder brother very well in this regard, and her elder brother also took good care of her, who was born fifteen years later than her sister. In Lex's opinion, this sister is the reason why his childhood life is not so lonely. After all, as a smart person, you can't ask him to play with ordinary children.

When he told his peers that the earth is round and there is definitely a higher civilization than the earth in the universe, he asked you backhandedly, then, does Ultraman exist? You talk about scientific principles with him, and he talks about childhood fantasies with you, but the conversation will not go together. My younger sister has the same outstanding intelligence as myself, isn't this more passionate than talking about Ultraman!

At least in Lena's memory, Lex thinks so and cultivates himself in this way, because only geniuses know how to cultivate geniuses, and because he is a girl, Lex does not treat him as harshly as his father Own. When he is tired of studying and doesn't want to study anymore, he will let himself relax. Everything was so harmonious, until one day, my father passed away without any warning, and my mother was too sad, and wanted to control the business empire my father left behind.

She also gradually disappeared from her and Lex's life, and just let the housekeeper and nanny take care of herself. After all, Lex has grown up and can take over the business empire left by his father. The memories are interrupted here, because when Lena recalls the past, she always feels that something is wrong. Lex is very fond of herself, but the sudden death of his father, the departure of his mother, and even the fact that Lex was raised by his parents Being a talent, these beautiful memories made her instinctively feel a little false.

Especially when she was an adult, whenever she recalled the past, or when she had a quarrel with her brother, she instinctively felt that if Lex was raised according to the way her parents raised in her memory, Lex should not be so extreme in many things, or not Human nature, this shouldn't be, but where is it wrong? Lena couldn't figure it out. Just when Lena felt strange again because of the discrepancy between memories and reality, a familiar voice came down the stairs.

"Isn't this our genius little princess, who came home so soon after knowing that her mother was back?"

"Mother?"

According to the reputation, a well-maintained, 60-year-old lady who looks like she is only about 40 years old is standing on the stairs, looking at herself with a smile.

······

Metropolis, the headquarters of Lex Enterprises, had already had a meeting with Clark before, confirming that after Clark became president, Lex, who worked in the President's Office of Science and Technology and a technology adviser, was now with a livid face, listening to himself and Clark (former Superman) Son, Connor Kent played the small report. Lex didn't regard it as a so-called tool for the cloning of Little Superman, which was born with half of the genes provided by himself and Clark through his wisdom and technology.

It is indeed cultivating him, when the Illuminati and the Justice League were at odds in the early days. Connor was not allowed to be a so-called spy, nor was he allowed to do something that violated universal values ​​and morals, but he was allowed to live as an independent individual with his own life.

So for his two fathers, after knowing the truth, Connor, the son, really didn't want to see the two of them fighting against each other, because he didn't know who to help. But fortunately, with the occurrence of various things, apart from not pleasing each other and bickering, there was no such drama as before that disrupted each other. Not long ago, the night Kara and Ke Wen confirmed their relationship, Connor also As a member of the people who eat melons, he can't object to the decision of his friend relationship.

But for Lena who was also present, his aunt in name, he couldn't sit idly by, even if Lena said that she just needed to relax and relax. Out of emotion and reason, he felt that he should explain the situation to his father, Lex Luthor. Obviously, he underestimated the importance his father attached to his younger sister. At this time, after listening to Connor's pertinent report without personal feelings, Lex took the valuable pen held in two pieces.

He got up, paced back and forth in front of the desk, the veins had already protruded on his shiny forehead, one after another, and then aimed at a training sandbag beside the desk, kicked the sandbag directly with a side kick The lateral movement is more than ten meters. This hand alone is enough to show that Lex is also a good hand in fighting.

"He really said that?"

"Um, yes, father, I think the three of you are right about this matter. Compared with this, I think you need to care more about Lena's situation."

Seeing Lex's red eyes, looking like a lunatic who wanted to kill, Connor suddenly felt that it was a wrong choice for him to come here to make this small report, and he would not have to fight with his other father again. Judging from the current situation of Clark returning to ordinary people, it is really hard to say who will win and who will win when these two fight.

"You don't need to worry about this, children don't need to interfere with adults' affairs!"

Lex, who was in a fit of anger, also responded irritablely. For a while, Connor was speechless, because judging from his biological age, he was indeed a minor, but his brain and appearance were more anxious.

"Can···"

Before Connor finished speaking, he was interrupted roughly again by Lex, "Don't say the rest, just take care of yourself and maintain the order of the metropolis. As a superboy, or in this paragraph It’s enough for the Superman of the era to be active, go back first, and let me calm down for a while.”

Looking at the rickety sandbag that Lex kicked from the side just now, Connor couldn't complain that you are also called calm? But the son couldn't poke his father's mouth, and Connor just sighed and left the office. Not long after he walked out, he heard various sounds of smashing and smashing in the office, as well as Lex's violent roar.

"Hey, Ke Wen, I can't help it. My father will know about this sooner or later, and you will have to face it sooner or later. Let's die early and be reborn early."

After praying for Ke Wen who didn't know the danger had come, Connor left. In the office, Lex, who turned the expensively decorated office into a garbage dump, sat on the ground panting. After finding out that he had smashed all the things he could smash, Lex also sighed helplessly, and his whole body also changed from the anger just now to a broken face.

As Connor said, this matter is purely a matter between Ke Wen, Kara, and Lena, and as an older brother, he cannot intervene, otherwise he will be the one who will be embarrassed, and Lena, but if it is treated like this Nothing happened, sorry. From the beginning, Lex's camp was not lawful good, but lawful evil, a pure earthist, if Superman hadn't voluntarily given up his power and was active in front of him as Clark Kent, he might still be What happened.

"Damn it, you bastard, Lena can't compare to that Kryptonian girl, damn! You don't even know what level the smartest person in the world is without teaching you a lesson!"

While Lex was cursing, his secretary, Mariko also contacted him by phone.

"What's the matter, Mariko."

"Mr. Lex, a visitor is looking for you. He said his name is Vandal Savage. You will see him."

Lex, who was in a rage, was also taken aback by Savage's sudden visit. Savage came to find him at this time, is there any movement on Apocalypse? He has been monitoring the Apocalypse after the Darkseid War and has not made any moves. Thinking of this, Lex also frowned, and said directly: "Let him in, he can do it alone."

"yes."

Soon, the office door opened, and Savage came in with his hands behind his back. Looking at the messy office, Savage also raised his eyebrows.

"Don't guess, it has nothing to do with you, it's just related to that nasty Kamen Rider, it's a private matter, just find a place to sit, why do you want me, Apocalypse is going to make trouble?" He greeted angrily, Lex Still sitting there sulking.

But Savage didn't sit down, just stood there, and said directly: "Oh, I came to you, it has nothing to do with Apocalypse, but it has something to do with it, probably like this. Lies."

"When did you like to say such ambiguous things? I have something to say. I'm in a bad mood now. Do you drink?"

Standing up, he took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, ignored Savage's decision to drink or not, and each had a glass, and after passing it to Savage, he turned his back to Savage, looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows and drank alone there .

Looking at the wine in his glass, Savage also replied: "I don't like to say such ambiguous words, but I'm not sure yet, but you have to answer me, so I can be sure whether there is something wrong with Apocalypse, or Something is wrong with you."

"Say!" Lex said impatiently.

"Remember what I asked you last time, in the godhead experiment war launched by Darkseid, you returned to Earth from Apocalypse as the god of Apocalypse. The question is, how did you get to Apocalypse?" , now, you can answer me, Lex Luthor."

After Savage said his reason for coming, Lex, who was drinking with his back to Savage, also fell silent. He, who was still angry just now, put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at himself in the mirror, angry and painful. The expression was intertwined on his face, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. And through the reflection of the glass window, Savage also understood that he came to the right place!
