I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

The strange man on the hospital bed actually calmed down, just staring blankly at him without saying a word.

Then the middle-aged man walked to the bedside, gently rested his head in his lap, and stroked his bald head with a kind expression.

"I told you long ago..."

He's not your brother...

He's not even human.

The man seemed to be talking to himself, yet also to someone else.

"Ugh……"

He sighed deeply again.

"If you had listened to me and seen through his true colors sooner, you wouldn't have died at his hands."

I had no choice but to turn you into this…

"Lex..."

My son.

……

Strange phenomena have been occurring around the world recently.

More and more people are falling into a deep sleep or suffering from collective insomnia.

Initially, it only involved a small group of people and didn't attract much attention.

But it wasn't until a small town of tens of thousands in the southern United States fell into a coma that high-level officials from various countries took the matter seriously.

Various forces, both overt and covert, are also investigating this matter.

Even the Justice League sent some second- and third-tier heroes to that town to try to find out the truth, but they were never able to find out the answer.

Perhaps a small minority in the world know the true cause of the event, but they have all chosen to ignore it for some reason.

For example, thunder.

He knew this chaos stemmed from Morpheus's disappearance.

Out of consideration for their friendship, he tried to find him several times, but all attempts ended in failure.

And to this day, none of the other members of the Endless Alliance have come looking for him.

in addition,

He couldn't even contact Lucifer, the former ruler of hell and now God.

Similarly, he couldn't know why; the different latitude limited his performance.

Since he couldn't help, Lei Ming could only choose to ignore it.

Anyway, these two guys are both big shots in their respective areas; they wouldn't just disappear without a trace.

Even if he really dies, there will always be tall people to hold up the earth no matter what happens.

Although he himself belongs to the group of 'tall' people.

But that doesn't stop him from pretending to be a salted fish.

...

at dusk,

The commercial center of International City.

Lei Ming is accompanying Elena to buy clothes.

To be precise, it was Elena who was buying him clothes.

Perhaps because of that gem, Elena's attitude towards him has improved considerably lately, and she seems to have even forgotten about the 'plumbing repair' incident.

It was never mentioned again.

And Daniel hasn't gone to school since that day. He doesn't know why, but he's relieved that he won't be bothered by that annoying guy again.

Elena said she was very happy.

Outside the clothing store, Lei Ming stood in front of the fitting room mirror, looking at his new outfit.

Black leather shoes, black trousers, black shirt, black trench coat…

In short, he was dressed entirely in black from head to toe.

He turned to look at Elena, who was stroking her chin and nodding to herself, seemingly extremely satisfied with her judgment, and muttered:

"Are you sure you didn't put together this outfit based on Neo's style?"

"Is it not good?"

Elena shrugged with a smile and joked:

"Come on, Keanu Reeves is every woman's idol. It would be a waste not to wear this with your figure."

It's better than you wandering around in your underwear all day, isn't it?

"Makes sense."

Lei Ming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Moreover, this outfit does indeed suit his aesthetic, since black is timeless.

From the moment he stood there in this outfit, many passersby couldn't help but slow down, just to catch a glimpse of him.

And most of them are women.

Afterwards, Elena selected several more outfits of similar style and had them wrapped up.

When the cashier entered the string of numbers into the calculator at checkout, Lei Ming noticed that Elena's lips twitched slightly.

However, she still gritted her teeth and swiped the card in the end.

Moreover, he subconsciously carried the large and small bags and followed Lei Ming out of the store.

The sales clerk cast a strange look at Lei Ming's retreating figure, seemingly thinking to herself that he had been expected to be a muscular man, but it turned out to be a gigolo kept by a rich woman...

But he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the ants' gaze.

However, as soon as I stepped onto the street...

His usually calm expression flickered almost imperceptibly.

because

An unseen guest has arrived.

"Lei! Slow down, help me carry this..."

Elena, carrying large and small bags, jogged to catch up, nearly twisting her ankle in the process.

She wore a bodycon skirt and high heels when she went out with Lei Ming today, and her silver hair was styled into big waves.

Her voluptuous figure attracted attention with every move.

Lei Ming said it was very gaudy.

But I like it very much.

He then straightened Elena's body and pressed her down to stand firmly in front of him.
