Chapter 462: Secrets of the Past (Part 2)

"Doomsday, isn't this name too strange?"

"It literally means that the day he appears, it will be the day of destruction for the entire earth and even the entire universe."

Bruce and Lex felt their hearts stop beating for a moment, especially Bruce. After he walked over, he looked straight into Schiller's eyes and said, "Is there nothing you can do?"

"I'm not sure." Schiller gave an ambiguous answer, but Bruce was obviously not satisfied with the answer, but he didn't ask again because he was not a person who pinned his hopes on others.

"What's his weakness?"

"I don't know, maybe there is no weakness." Schiller gave another desperate answer, but at this time, Clark's steady and determined voice sounded:

"It's impossible. Everything in this world must have weaknesses. Maybe I can deal with him..."

"Maybe you can kill him once, but when he appears again, the weakness from the first time will no longer exist."

"Will he evolve?" Bruce instinctively grasped the key to Schiller's words.

"Yes, but..." Schiller deliberately dragged his voice, and everyone looked at him, and he said: "But it seems that someone has already given a solution."

As he spoke, he came a little closer and looked at the egg.

The eggshell of this egg is opaque, so you can't see what's going on inside, but you can see that the whole egg is shaking slightly, as if there is a heartbeat, but it's beating very slowly.

"Will kryptonite affect it?" Schiller said to himself. As he spoke, he looked up at the strange devices that emitted kryptonite light. He said, "...what kind of formation is this?" ?”

"It seems like someone has used a method to seal this egg?" Lex also stepped forward, his brain constantly thinking, followed by Bruce. Although his eyes were solemn, they also contained hidden meanings. With a hint of curiosity.

"The situation is not as dangerous as I described, because the monster has not hatched yet, and someone has already found a way to suppress the egg."

"But he'll hatch eventually, right?"

Schiller gave Bruce a scrutinizing look as he recalled a law of the DC Universe.

All DC universes are divided into light and dark. In the dark universe, everything slides down inexorably, that is, all bad things are bound to happen.

If this is a dark universe, then this egg will probably hatch soon. However, not only did the Laughing Egg inside Bruce not hatch, it was also killed by Schiller using the righteous gang fight method, and was finally killed by Schiller. Parallax Monster is on the market through a backdoor operation.

This shows that the probability that this universe is a dark universe is not very high, but there may not be powerful villains in the light universe.

Doomsday is actually Superman's old enemy. In the famous comic book The Death of Superman, it was he who killed Superman.

The comic "The Death of Superman" has a relatively complicated historical background. At that time, DC was not doing well and they needed some gimmicks to attract more fans to buy their comics, so they planned to put their most famous A superhero, Superman, brings disaster.

In order to create enough gimmicks, this comic was named "The Death of Superman". In order to achieve the purpose of killing Superman, Doomsday was set to be very powerful, defeating the Justice League except Superman with one hand. , and even pulled the running Flash out of the Speed ​​Force.

After running to Apokolips, he survived Darkseid's Omega rays and later developed the ability to doomsday spores, which eventually infected Superman and created Doomsday Superman.

In short, he is an absurdly strong villain, like all villains created in a rush, although his ability settings are unreasonable. However, there is almost no background setting.

Schiller thought, it seems that in this universe, the origin story of Doomsday is a bit complicated and is not the product of the slippery hands of Kryptonian scientists.

In the comics, when Doomsday appears, he is already in a complete form. The complete Doomsday is not completely invincible. Schiller has some ways to defeat him or seal him, but in the comics, Doomsday is often resurrected. , it seems that he will not die completely, so Schiller is not confident that he can completely kill him.

However, the Doomsday that appears here now is an egg, which gives Schiller some other ideas.

At this time, Bruce discovered some details. He walked to the wall of the underground cavity, reached out and touched the slightly moist rock. He said: "Judging from the state of the rock, this place should have been dug decades ago. , at least twenty or thirty years ago..."

He said to himself: "What happened then?"

"So, what happened after that?" Keira looked at Alfred in the corridor of the manor and asked.

"When I learned that the force called the Court of Owls might want to create a terrifying monster to rule the entire Gotham, I had to consider the dangers of this monster."

"If an uncontrolled super monster is created, it may threaten not only the United States, but also all humans living on the earth. Those crazy people can ignore it, but I can't."

"So, I approached Falcone and told him my intention. At first he was not willing to believe me, but he had no other choice..."

"Why?"

"Because, in Gotham, people who can do equations are considered a rare species, and I graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Cambridge University..."

Keira was silent. She thought about what she had seen and heard in Gotham before, and felt that what Alfred said was not an exaggeration.

"Of course, there is another reason. Although Falcone and Daniel were aware of all this, their intelligence sources were very few, because they were not professional agents and could not get much information at all. At that time, they could not even get the owl I don’t even know the name of the court.”

"And I am a professional agent who can investigate this matter for them, so the three of us reached an agreement and started cooperation. In the end, we made some trouble, but we still got the egg."

"Oh, I remember, the file says that many vicious incidents seemed to have happened in Gotham during that time. The FBI went to investigate, but also lost a lot of people. Some of them had a glimpse of some mysterious phenomena, so this case Eucalyptus spreads more and more mysteriously..."

"Yes, that group of people was difficult to deal with, and we paid a heavy price. For this reason, Falcone was determined not to allow the egg to be sealed in Gotham, because Gotham is his territory."

fantuan.

"So you chose Metropolis?"

"This egg has been in our hands for a long time, and we have never been able to find a reasonable way to deal with it."

By that time, the limelight had passed, and I could have set off again to return to Moscow. But at this moment, Moscow sent me news that Kim Philby had escaped, and he himself had returned to Moscow. "

"Although I have some understanding of MI6's style, this matter still exceeded my expectations. Obviously, since Philby himself has successfully escaped, this list is not that important to Moscow. No It is necessary to bring it back across the ocean.”

"However, this list is still very important to other countries, because if the Soviet Union has it, they must also have it, otherwise they will always be one step behind. Therefore, the news of Philby's escape has not only not reduced the list's importance in the eyes of other countries. importance, on the contrary, they are even more frantic to find where the list is to obtain equivalent information to the Soviet Union."

"The Soviet Union didn't need it, but other countries needed it, so the best way was to find a place to hide it, so I hid it in Gotham and returned to Moscow after the storm passed. , looking for a way to solve the egg, but..."

"Eventually, I came back to England."

"About ten years later, my father asked me to inherit the position of hereditary butler and go to the Wayne family to become their steward. At that time, I told Moscow the news. They thought it was a good opportunity. After all, Wei The En family is the richest family on the East Coast and even in the United States..."

"So, at the beginning, you were on a lurking mission with the Wayne family?"

"Yes, but something happened later and Mr. and Mrs. Wayne passed away." Alfred's expression looked a little sad, and he said: "The young master is the only one left, and I have to raise him. "

"At that time, I was already planning to give up my career as an agent."

Kayla nodded to show that she understood, and said: "Many people think that agents should always be loyal to their goals, but we are also human beings and have feelings. We are not machines to complete tasks..."

Alfred shook his head and said: "My feelings for the young master are not entirely the reason why I want to give up my career as an agent..."

"Then what other reason is there?"

Alfred was silent, and his expression showed a trace of hesitation, as if he didn't know whether he should say this, but in the end, he still said: "You are still young and haven't experienced much, so you can't feel her." Change……"

"who?"

"Soviet."

Kayla wanted to ask more, but Alfred chose to remain silent. After a moment of silence, Alfred spoke again. His voice was no longer so powerful, but instead revealed his old age.

"Perhaps I am a shameful deserter, or perhaps I am just unwilling to face some cruel facts."

"It may also be that I know that I cannot remain rational when facing the deterioration of those great ideals and glorious years..."

"But in the end, I chose to say goodbye to the past completely."

"When I returned to Gotham and became the butler of the Wayne family, Falcone told me that they had properly disposed of the egg. I don't know the specific process, but in the end, the egg was placed in the Under the metropolitan manor."

"Falcone told me that initially, they just found a place outside Gotham and placed the egg there, but then they discovered a fallen alien mineral that seemed to be able to suppress the egg very well. The life activity of the egg, so they transformed it into a huge seal. "

Keira frowned and asked, "Is this seal strong?"

"It can only be said that the hatching time of the monster can be postponed. We still have no idea how to eliminate this monster."

Alfred put down the shotgun in his hand and leaned on the ground with the muzzle of the gun. He looked out the window and said, "This is one of the reasons why I wanted Bruce to come here."

"I saw the professor's name in the guest list you gave me. I know he is not an ordinary person and has the ability to ensure everyone's safety. I raised Bruce and I know how amazing his wisdom is..."

"If there is only one way in the world to crack the secret of this mysterious monster and destroy it, I believe that the combination of these two people will be the best answer."

At this time, Schiller, who was meditating in the underground cave, heard the voice of gray fog in his mind:

"Food! Lots of food! Eat!"

"Food? Where does the food come from?" Schiller asked puzzledly.

"Green stone, so fragrant! Let me take a bite!"

"Green stone..." Schiller turned his head and looked at the kryptonite device closest to him, and asked in surprise:

"You eat kryptonite???"

"Yeah! It smells delicious!"

"Why didn't you say it before outside?"

"That one is not delicious, only the one here is delicious!"

"But the kryptonite here is used to seal this egg..."

"I'm hungry! I've been hungry for a long time! I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Bruce, who was studying the rock formation nearby, found that Schiller's eyes looking at the egg suddenly became a little strange.
