Metropolis, a city full of sunshine. If you compare the perennial dark weather of Gotham, where you grew up, Metropolis is undoubtedly an exciting place for people, compared to Gotham's murderous cases and perverted criminals, Metropolis rarely has major cases even if it is a crime. This is difficult to compare even to New York today, because even in New York, there is such a notorious area as Hell's Kitchen. And the Metropolis is completely the embodiment of the best side of New York and the opposite city of Gotham.

Lie parked Kunshi on the tarmac of his corporate branch, and through the branch, he delivered a message to the daily newspaper of the city, which specializes in reporting on Superman: we need to meet, Superman. After delivering the message, he waited on the tarmac for Superman to come over after seeing the message.

After a while, Lie heard a noise behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a figure with a red cloak floating in the air. Wearing a dark blue tight-fitting suit with a capital S letter on his chest, coupled with his burly body of 1.9 meters and the ability to fly, for many petty criminals, it is a great deterrent.

"Looks like you can really be on call."

"I heard you're looking for me? Violent. Mr. Wayne. ”

"If you don't mind, you can go inside the plane and say, I don't think this plane can threaten you, right? Superman? ”

Listening to Lie's words, Superman always felt that he knew something about himself, but judging from the confidence in his ability and Lie's lack of malice at the moment, he didn't mind accompanying Lie on that journey. Thinking of this, he also landed and accompanied Lie into the cabin of the Kun fighter.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Lie asked Gaia to block all communication and listening equipment on the Kunshi. Then he turned to face Superman and said, "So, what is your true identity?" Alien friends. ”

Lie's first sentence made Superman not react at once, because he was sure. Only his adoptive parents know, even when he came out before him as a superhero and found his own spaceship, not many people thought it had anything to do with him, after all, there are mutants and superpowers in this world, and many people put him in this column, rather than directly telling his origin like Lie.

"How do you know?" Superman is a little serious at the moment, he doesn't know what this guy thinks of aliens, and how the world looks at it, once his identity is revealed, whether it will pose a danger to his parents, this is what he has to consider.

"Calm down, big man, I'm not here to stir things up, if I really harbor malice, do you think I'll come alone?" A rhetorical question dispelled Superman's doubts, and his super hearing could tell that Ryoshi wasn't lying.

"And what are you here for?"

"I just want to know why you're here, where you came from, your name, and where is that ship?"

Lie's words made Superman understand that for him, except for not knowing his own background and purpose, everything else was clear. After pondering for a while, Superman thought about it and told the truth.

"I'm from Krypton, my hometown, a planet that has long since been destroyed. My parents only had time to send me out, and I have been living on Earth for twenty-four years. That ship is the research ship that our planet crashed on Earth a long time ago, and it will not cause damage to your planet. ”

Although Superman's big truth did not tell Lie something, it also dispelled some doubts in Lie's heart, but he was still wary of Superman. After thinking about it, he still asked tentatively, "If you can." Don't mind taking me to that ship, I need your spaceship to understand, first of all, it's not about your planet, and it's all under your control, I can also take it by you blindfolded. Jeol also showed his sincerity to Superman.

"Okay, do you want to go over now?"

"In the evening, you still have important business to do, there is a bank robbery going on ten kilometers away."

Lie silently revealed his superpowers, which also made Superman look at Lie more, this world-famous genius is not a simple character.

At night, when everyone falls asleep, Superman arrives at Lie's office as scheduled.

"Ready? Mr. Lie. ”

"Of course, you can take me to appreciate the alien civilization, it's okay to hurry up."

Lie closed his eyes and said that he could let Superman fiddle with him, but Superman didn't say anything, and flew towards his spaceship with Lie. A sonic boom in the sky indicated that they were still here.

Superman was heading towards his secret base at a speed of Mach 10, and although he knew that Lie was not very human, he couldn't help but worry about such a speed. However, seeing Lie's expression as usual, he didn't slow down, and maintained this speed to reach his secret base in almost an hour.

As soon as he landed, Lie's body was covered with ice ballast. Before Superman could make a move, the flames from Lie's body solved the problem.

"Don't look at me like that, it's just a gift, take me to your master's hub." Looking at Superman's eyes looking at him, Lie said in a blink of an eye, Superman didn't say anything after listening to Lie's words, and he led the way to the center of this base in front. In an obvious alien-style command room, Superman floated in front of the big screen and said, "Father, I'm back." ”

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man who looked a little like Superman was projected in front of the display, looking at Superman with kind eyes.

"Carl, did you bring a guest here?"

"Yes, Father, he knows where I came from, and he needs your help."

The middle-aged man looked at Lie behind Superman, and Lie was also looking at the middle-aged man who was nominally Superman's father.

"Soul transfer?"

"I'm glad that someone still understands this, but I'm not, I'm just a piece of data from this consciousness that inherits his memory and knowledge."

"Remarkable, Kryptonian civilization. I'm Lie. Wayne, an earthling. ”

"Earthling, you have an aura that I am familiar with. Forget it, you can call me Joe. Al, please tell me what you mean, Mr. Wayne. ”

"Two questions. 1. I need a copy of the information on what creatures have inhabited the rock formations where the spaceship used to be. 2. Why send your children to Earth. ”

Lie's first question, Superman, didn't feel anything, but the second question blinded Superman for a moment, and then he reacted in a moment. yes, why did you send him to Earth? To say that there is no planet in the universe suitable for life, Superman himself does not believe it, but why send himself to a planet tens of millions of light-years away from his home planet?

Lie's question makes this Joe. El's intelligence fell silent all of a sudden? Although he inherited the knowledge and memory of the original owner, he did not have his own view of right and wrong, which was related to the future of Krypton, and he did not dare to speak casually. At this time, Superman also said to him in a deep voice: "Tell me the reason!" Father. ”

Superman's words make Joe. El sighed humanly, everything in his program was based on Superman, and he couldn't disobey Superman's orders.

"I sent you here because here, your abilities can be maximized, you have the genetic code of Kryptonians in you, but you are no longer bound by the route prescribed by Kryptonian to grow. Moreover, the human beings on the earth are still in the stage of planetary civilization, and their confusion, selfishness, and kindness can make you a god here. You can lead them and reinvent a Kryptonian full of futures. ”

Joe. Al's words had a big impact on Lie and Superman, and Lie suddenly understood the meaning of Superman's coming to Earth. As the pioneer of a new planetary civilization, he wants to make Earth a new Krypton. And Superman only then understood what his definition was, an extension of a race and not an interstellar refugee.

"Heh, there's really no love for no reason, but I can accept this reason, and I promise that only the three of us here know these secrets. Now tell me what I want, Joe. Mr. Ayr. ”

"As you wish." Joe. Al sent the tens of millions of years of survey data of the spacecraft to Lie's data terminal. After getting the information he wanted, Yeol also turned and left, but before leaving, he faced Joe. Al said.

"I can accept that Superman lives on Earth, and I can also accept the reason why you let Superman come to Earth, because this is the assimilation and integration between civilizations, the evolution of species, and it is not possible to talk about who is right and who is wrong. But what I can tell you is, don't try to make Superman a god, humans here are really cowardly and selfish. But believe me, if Superman really wants to become a god, then it will be the time when he will perish, although he is very powerful, but on this earth, there are still people who are stronger than him, don't underestimate this planet. ”

Lie's words made Joe. Al rethought there, and after he woke up and began to understand the civilization of this planet after he had been asleep for many years, he realized that there were many irrational things in this planet that had not even crossed the solar system. The mutant with variable abilities is one, as well as the giants and wonder women who appeared in Brooklyn some time ago, as well as the lightbringer. Perhaps, God is not necessary, Joe. Al thought.

And Superman didn't say a word when he left with Lie, and he still can't let go of his father's words just now. Lie, who returned to his own branch, looked at Superman who was still there without saying a word, Lie was a little speechless, he didn't have anything to worry about as an earthling, what is the matter with you an alien putting on a victim face.

"Hey, I said. It seems that you are not a victim no matter how you look at it, right? ”

"You don't look worried at all."

"What is there to worry about, you are you, your father is your father. And in all fairness, he wasn't wrong in his decision. What do you have to mind about? ”

"You know, it's aggression!!" Superman suddenly became excited, and no one thought that he would turn from a hero into an aggressor.

"That's right, but isn't the development of civilization an invasion? Isn't the assimilation of a higher civilization to a lower civilization also an invasion? This is the trend of civilization development, and there is nothing wrong with it. And for you, it will take millions of years for you to become like your home planet, you have to find a partner to marry and have children, and then continue to reproduce to form a Kryptonian race, which is enough for the development of planetary civilization. You should be glad that your father didn't let you directly conquer violently in the first place, otherwise you wouldn't be talking to me here now, although you are the leader, God and that kind of. ”

Lie's words smoothed out the turn that Superman couldn't turn, no matter what, he was alone, and he didn't need to do it in a drastic way if he wanted to be like his father. As long as you have offspring, with the development of offspring, you will slowly assimilate with the earthlings and form a new Kryptonian race, which is not wrong.

"Turned?"

"Well, as an earthling, the way you think surprises me."

"I don't have any paranoia about victimization."

"I think we can be friends."

"Isn't that now? Go, you still have work to do, this city needs you, and the world needs you. ”

Looking at Superman's departing figure, Lie thought on the rooftop, mutants, aliens, ancient civilizations, and those forces that have not yet jumped out. I'm really looking forward to what the world will become.
