"...Is it because I'm too sensitive, or what's going on?" Facing Luo's moody impromptu speech, Carl said with some uncertainty, "Why do I feel that your speaking style is becoming more and more like Lexie's? ?”

It’s just that Lex doesn’t speak so bluntly, and his thoughts are rarely directly reflected in words, but in actions—even most of the time, Lex’s behavior and his thoughts will be completely opposite, or At least it is far away.

Lo's fingers slid down Carl's cheeks, like a drop of dew soaking into the soil along the roots of plants.

"You really need him to meet, honey," she said quietly. "Obviously your unusual relationship has made both of you a little neurotic, and your avoidance of him has aggravated him." anxiety."

Carl shrugged helplessly.

Recently, Lex.The frequency of Luthor appearing in the media has become very frequent, so frequent that even people who have never paid attention to him can realize the news about this young president and scientist around him in a very slow and inadvertent state is increasing.

More and more people gradually realized about Lex.Luthor, the former controller of Metropolis and the attitude of the highest power to Superman.

This is not difficult at all, even a blind man can hear his suspicion, resistance and malice towards Superman from Lex's various impassioned words and speeches.

"...I always emphasize one thing, and that's the stand," he said in an interview during a business meeting in New York City. "The so-called Superman, pretending to be human, pretending he's dedicated to human suffering , pretending he really cares about us - sure, I know he's open about being an alien, but isn't that his best disguise? He made people mistakenly think that his position is the position of human beings. How ridiculous, he told a big lie under the nose of everyone, but people turned a blind eye and immersed themselves in the picture he depicted bright future."

A week later, he appeared in Paris, France. It is said that he had received an invitation letter for a catwalk. Amidst the grotesque luxury dresses and the smell of expensive perfumes worth a thousand dollars, he smiled at the camera in a well-fitting suit.

"Superman is of course impossible to think from the standpoint of human beings. His miraculous power makes the gap between him and humans bigger than the gap between humans and paramecia. Who knows what he thinks of us? Who knows? Heard what he said about humans? Who knows what he was thinking? You might rescue the injured puppy you saw on the side of the road, but would you rescue the injured paramecium?"

"Your analogy is obviously inappropriate." The female reporter in charge of the question smiled and said, her English was as light and smooth as a deer running in the forest, "It is obviously impossible for human beings to see the injured paramecium on the side of the road, but Superman can See wounded humans."

"Superman can fly. Superman soars through the universe. When he is looking at us from the sky, how different are we from paramecium in his eyes?" Lex's answer was without thinking, almost a conditioned reflex, "and I used This kind of description is not to emphasize the size, but to emphasize the difference in strength - imagine, under what circumstances can humans see the injured Paramecium?"

When he said this, he paused meaningfully, giving the female reporter and all the people behind the female reporter who were listening to him a period of time to think.

He finally revealed the answer: "Only in the experiment, we will bother to observe and help the injured Paramecium."

This fierce and cruel attitude undoubtedly aroused the anger of a large number of Superman fans. They poured into Lex's social accounts, ranging from insulting and attacking him to sending death threats. The Ministry sent leaflets to the court one by one.

Dealing with these unreasonable people didn't take him too much time, and it didn't even cost him much money.

The vast majority of people apologized publicly as soon as they received the leaflets, and a very small number of people did not accept "mediation" until the court, and even fewer people gritted their teeth and had to accept the loss of their fortunes due to high compensation after losing the lawsuit. ending.

Things were going on vigorously and at the same time in an orderly manner, as if an invisible hand was touching the veins of people's emotions, and countless lines hidden in the dark emerged through Lex's high-profile speech and actions, like a hidden fire The fuel pile was ignited by a well-placed easterly wind.

More and more people are beginning to question Superman, not just the conspiracy that Superman may actually exist in their mouths but it does exist, not just the differences and inequalities between Superman and humans.

"I don't know what he's thinking. As an alien, he shouldn't pay too much attention to our earth affairs. He makes me feel bad. I feel that we are being monitored, and this will never be tolerated. matter."

"Is Superman really as good as you describe? I doubt it. I have never seen Superman, and I have not never encountered crisis incidents. I have experienced many robberies and seven times since I was a child. Eight shootings, I never saw Superman, I only saw heroic cops and FBI agents."

"I said it! Superman is fake! The government made it up to deceive us and shirk responsibility! I told you so!"

"I don't believe in Superman either, but I think we should give him a chance to prove himself. It's scary isn't it? He's been on Earth for so many years and we're only now starting to realize how dangerous he is!"

"He just revealed his alien identity some time ago. If he wasn't guilty, why didn't he tell us the truth from the beginning? We have the right to know!"

What really made people angry was a video that was posted on Facebook.

The picture is a little shaky. It can be seen that the publisher used the former camera to shoot. The background is a white wall with childish graffiti. Judging from the traces of color peeling, these graffiti have a long history. It is very likely that this is the one left by the photographer.

She is about 20 or [-] years old, at most [-] years old. When facing the camera, she narrates very calmly:

"Last October, my dad robbed a supermarket, he hit the clerk, the cashier was dumb, he didn't call for help, but Superman somehow found out about the robbery, he shot the cashier Sent to the hospital, then turned back, and then sent to the hospital the injured from the serial car accident caused by my dad driving away in the process."

"I think maybe my dad saw Superman in the rearview mirror, and after knowing that he couldn't escape, he chose to commit suicide in desperation."

"My dad was a good guy... I don't know what made him rob something like that, but he was a really good guy. I lost my mother when I was very young, my father was all I had, and he was always willing to spend More time to accompany me than other fathers," she choked up when she said here, "I know he made a mistake, and I know he should be punished by law, but the cashier's injury is not serious , sooner or later my dad will be caught and brought to justice, he needs to serve time, it's bad, but better than losing his life."

"Why did it get to this point? Why did he commit suicide over something like this? Why does Superman meddle?" she asked, crying, "He can lift a plane, catch bullets... There are so many places in the world Waging war, why would he care about such a small thing? I'm not apologizing for my father, but who wouldn't be terrified of being a target for Superman? Who knows what people will do when they're terrified?"

The picture began to shake violently, she hurriedly turned her head away to wipe away her tears, and then turned to face the camera again.

"Now I've lost my father, the most beloved person in the world," she said with red eyes, "and I don't even know who to blame."

Things finally developed to the most serious point.

People question everything about Superman, even Superman's act of helping others.

The fire was raging, spreading from Superman to all the vigilantes.People argue on various occasions about whether the vigilante should exist, whether the actions of the vigilante are harmful to society, whether the vigilante should continue to exist or be monitored or even destroyed, and related issues, but the result is always inconclusive.

Surprisingly, nearly as many people hate the vigilante as they love it.

And the longer the time, the more obvious the advantage of the former is. It is obvious that the motivation brought by hatred is more abundant and lasting than the motivation brought by love, admiration and gratitude.

Instead, it was Lex who provoked and manipulated the whole incident.Luther quietly disappeared, and continued his unknown experiments in silence, brewing greater danger.

The next time he appeared in the public eye, he went to Italy. When he was accompanied by government officials to visit the public welfare unit he invested in, his questioning and attacking Superman became more and more sharp.

"I heard he just came to this beautiful city a few days ago and caused a little traffic jam in the middle of the bustling city center. Wish I could have a face-to-face meeting with him," he said. "Why not What? I believe that everyone knows my attitude towards him. It is impossible for the omniscient Superman to miss the news. The truth is, I believe he will not miss any news related to himself. But he never told me, us React to what these people who don't trust him say, as if our opinion doesn't matter to him. Whatever his reasons for doing it, shouldn't he stand up and prove to us when rumors are rampant he himself?"

"He played a good game of chess." Tony turned off the TV and looked at Carl.
