Chapter 346: Curfew
"Maika?"
The woman standing next to the young man turned her head and looked at her boyfriend worriedly.
Although the mechanical superman guarantees that he can gain great power and will not hurt Maika, the woman just feels uneasy, after all, this world has always been saved by superhuman power, why does the power of ordinary people suddenly need now?
There are not a few people who have similar thoughts to her, but many more are willing to believe in mechanical superman.
In the past, Lex Luthor made a clone of Superman, and then there was a mechanical Superman who fell from the sky, and they already knew who to choose, and now they are waiting, they just want to see what will happen to Maika.
She also wanted to persuade: "Now that Mecha Superman and Superboy are here, the new metropolis is more prosperous than before, Maika, you don't have to ......"
"Needless to say"
Maika interrupted his girlfriend's dissuasion, took off his cap, and trotted up to the podium.
Standing in front of the microphone stand and looking down, it made Maika feel the so-called "condescension" at that moment, no, this feeling is not condescending when the strong bully the weak, Maika believes that he has the same perspective as the mechanical Superman at this moment, he will have superhuman strength, and at the same time understand the "responsibility" better.
"Maika......" The woman looked at him worriedly in the crowd, her fingers clenched unconsciously, and her nails pierced the flesh of her palm.
The mechanical superman walked up to Maika, the terrifying half of the mechanical body, but with a powerful and righteous aura that could not be questioned, he asked, "What is your name?" ”
"Maika!" Maika replied, trying to keep her tense at bay.
"I'll give you the power to protect others now, Maika," Mecha Superman pulled out a small transparent ball in the shape of a light bulb and gently placed it on Maika's eyebrows.
When the "little bulb" touched the center of Maika's eyebrows, it unexpectedly blended into it, the tail sank in, and the head was exposed, and at the same time, the "little bulb" lit up like electricity, the brightness was not too high, but it was magical.
Everyone in the audience looked at Maika worriedly, after all, this was an "evolutionary transformation" in front of everyone, not only about the reputation of the mechanical superman, but also about people's dispensable compassion.
Even if this is a completely "beneficial" evolution, if the scene is too bloody, it will still be labeled "cruel".
The small light bulb began to split into a green light, and the light enveloped Maika's whole body, and in an instant, Maika changed into a new suit, and a young man with a somewhat weak body turned into a superhero in a strange uniform in an instant.
That's right, superheroes!
At the end of the "transformation", Maika took off into the air, and he flew lightly to the car in the distance, bent down, grabbed the chassis of the car with both hands, and lifted it violently.
A car weighing several tons was lifted by Maika, who had just undergone a "transformation".
"Boom!"
Maika let go of her hand, and the car slammed into the ground, bouncing up and down.
"Oh my God, he actually lifted a car!"
"What did Mecha Superman do, just bring a really cute little toy to his head? And then he had this power? ”
The crowd was a sensation, and in their opinion, the cost of becoming a superhero was simply too low.
Of course, there are also journalists who need to maintain their own work.
A female reporter approached the mechanical superman, raised the microphone and asked loudly, "Superman, why are you taking out this power?" ”
But this reporter's interview is really problematic, and it is simply a mechanical superman into the ditch.
And she asked Superman why he took out this power to give it to everyone, more like interrogating what mechanical Superman had calculated, and chose to take out this powerful power at this time.
"This is the technology that the earth can adapt to the best technology given to me by the kind race I have met" The mechanical superman did not retort emotionally, he spoke his thoughts steadily, not in a hurry or impatiently, and his voice was always smooth: "As I said before, after the last time, I found that only human beings themselves can really save the earth and save mankind." ”
Someone was applauding: "That's right! ”
"I also want to be extraordinary, to protect the new metropolis, to protect the planet!" Some people saw that there was nothing wrong with Maika, so they volunteered to raise their hands.
In the scene, only Maika's girlfriend was a little stunned, and since just now, Maika has been floating in the air, not looking at her from beginning to end.
She bent down to pick up Maika's cap and put it on her head.
……
Lex Building,
Luther's expression was a little gloomy, and the appearance of the mechanical superman completely disrupted his plans.
"Will he be Superman? Scold! Lex Luthor sneered, others may believe the nonsense of the mechanical superman, but Luthor will never believe the other party, this is the confidence of being a superhuman enemy.
No one knows Superman better than he does!
Superboy Connor is streaming live on his phone, and it looks like he's in love with the job, and while not as powerful and intimidating as Superman, there's no doubt he's going crazy with fans.
"Forget it......" Lex looked at the superboy who was playing with the toys he got from the toy man, and had a few words to say, but finally kept his mouth shut.
"Boom!"
The wall exploded suddenly, and the heat wave smashed into Lex Luthor with the blasted wall rubble.
The figure of the superboy who was broadcasting on the side flashed, and he quickly left the office on the verge of collapse with Luther.
Downstairs, Lex Luthor also recognized who had suddenly attacked him.
A guy who almost looks exactly like Superman Clark Kent, he has never attacked the Lex Mansion once, and the last time he was defeated.
"This time, it's definitely the same!"
Super boy Connor has already waved his fist and rushed towards "Superman", although the fist made by the small hand looks slender and weak, but the momentum is not small, the sound wave explodes, and a faint white circle bursts out from around Connor's fist!
"Snap" grabbed Connor's fist with ease, and his body didn't move.
Connor's face changed dramatically.
Then Connor felt his body shake uncontrollably, the wind whistling in his ears, and then his fist was released, but his body was thrown uncontrollably.
He couldn't feel his bearings, his head was groggy, and his back smashed through several walls, and Connor finally smashed a large pit into the ground.
"Phew!" Connor crawled out of the pit, shaking his head vigorously.
In the sky, Superman's target does not seem to be Connor, and after losing Connor, Superman continues to attack the Lex Tower.
Under the intense energy bombardment, the Lex Mansion was about to turn into ruins.
"He's looking for something?" Luthor is not stupid,
"Superman" persistently attacked the Lex Mansion one after another, and there must be something in the building that the other party has been looking for.
Soon, Superman stopped his attack, swooped into the already battered Lex Building, and brought out something, something that Luthor was also very surprised by, a strange wrist computer.
"Smack!" The computer on his wrist was pinched and blown up by Superman, and with a strong sense of disdain, he soared into the sky and left the Lex Building.
Luthor quickly rushed to the computer on his wrist and flipped over to his ruined Lex Mansion.
"This ...... It's a locator, so it is! ”
As soon as he got his hands on the computer, Luthor discovered its purpose: "Someone deliberately lured Superman to me. ”
"And who will it be?"
Lex Luthor squinted, his head spinning rapidly, but soon the call came, and the number of mechanical superman's men was increasing, and it was already a little out of control.
"It seems that I can only know who is behind this machine if I fix this machine first."
……
……
The night of the new metropolis,
Not far from the ruined Lex Building, a hotel high-rise.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows take in the lights under your feet.
At the beginning of the night, the car lights on the road and the street lights on the road are combined into a bright world, and the yellow warm lights and white lights are handed over, which is a charming scenery unique to the bustling city.
A light suddenly flickered from afar and flew out of Li Zu's window.
After stopping, I found out that it was a member of the "Superman Army" under the mechanical superman.
After the other party glanced at Li Zu, he immediately turned around and flew elsewhere.
"What is this?"
A human-like, flyable superhero? But Li Zu's excellent eyesight could find that there was a dense number outside, like locusts entering the country.
The shadow appeared at the right time: "Mecha Superman is forming his own "Superman Army". ”
"These things...... Also belonging to the Legion? ”
"That's right"
Seeing Li Zu turn his head to look at him, the shadow said, "The mechanical superman is passing through the "Superman Army" and imposing a curfew. ”
"Purpose?" Li Zu asked.
Since the mechanical superman has made such a big move, it must have a purpose.
"Controlled, but I'd rather guess that the curfew was imposed by the mechanical superman in order to avoid accidents and rebellions, and he seems to be afraid of something."
"You have a lot to do with the world's number one detective, why do you still use guessing to solve the case now?" Li Zu asked rhetorically.
The shadow didn't care: "Reason boldly, be careful to verify." ”
Of course, the two didn't plan to talk about it for too long.
"What are you going to do?" The shadow asked Li Zu.
"Me?"
Li Zu walked back to the bedside, leaned over on the bed, and said, "Of course I obey the order and implement a curfew, as long as I don't go out, there will be no trouble to come to the door, right?" ”
……
In the evening of the new metropolis, Shanna walks down the street.
A few days have passed, and the mechanical superman is really not lying, he has turned many ordinary people into superheroes, they can go to heaven and earth, they can ignore bullets, and they can realize the dream of justice in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Shanna remembered her boyfriend.
The other party is also hot-blooded, not angry that the villains in the world can do whatever they want, but ordinary people can only survive in the cracks, so after listening to the speech of the mechanical superman, they chose to join without hesitation.
"My cat is in a tree, in a tree!" A little girl was crying anxiously under a tree.
The next moment, a green light flashed, but the kitten had already been handed back to the girl.
"Thank you, thank you......" The girl Rika raised her face and smiled at the Superman Army, but the other party did not react.
He just said very mechanically: "It is my duty to serve the citizens, it is my responsibility......"
"Maika?!"
Shanna was pleasantly surprised to recognize the identity of the other party, even if 90% of her body was wrapped in a uniform and she could only see her face, it was enough for her to recognize the person floating in the sky in the distance as her boyfriend.
But what happened next was a little chilling.
Maika, who has been a member of the "Superman Army" for a short time, completely ignores Shanna, as if Shanna is just a stranger in his eyes.
"Maika?" Shanna felt that something was not quite right, but she still said, "You have not been in touch during the time you joined the Superman Army, we don't even know how you are doing, thank goodness you look very good now......"
"It's 7:30 p.m.," Maika said mechanically, looking at Shanna, "Curfew is about to begin!" Thank you for your cooperation! ”
Shanna wondered, "Curfew?" ”
Maika didn't have the slightest mood swing in his language, and he said: "Madam, it's curfew time, please obey the rules of the Incredibles Legion, traveling during the curfew time, it has been a serious violation of the system, please go to the curfew punishment." ”
"It's the twenty-first century, and you still want a curfew?"
In the distance, a man cursed and rushed towards a Superman Legionnaire, but the other man was faster than him, subduing him in an instant.
"Please observe the curfew." Maika grimaced and looked down at Shanna, as if she were looking at a stranger.
"Maika......?"
Shanna's face was already pale, he didn't know what happened to his boyfriend, what kind of power would turn his boyfriend into a stranger without self-consciousness, could it be...... Mechanical Superman?
Thinking of this, Shanna's heart beat wildly twice, and she almost fainted.
They think that they are superheroes, but in fact, they use brainwashing and other methods to completely control everyone and make them lose themselves.
Before Shanna faints, she must follow Maika to receive punishment, and of course she wants to run, but she can't fly on two legs.
Now, it's time for her to pray that someone can save her boyfriend from the mechanical superman.
……
Second week of curfew.
In the evening, half past six.
Huge banners were torn and people shouting slogans were preparing for today's protest parade.
"The Incredibles get out of the new metropolis!"
"Get out of the New Metropolis!"
"Get out of the New Metropolis!"
The shouts shook the sky.
"We don't want a curfew, we want a night party! Nightlife is a must! ”
"Nightlife!"
"Nightlife!"
The whole thing seems very funny, and the reasons are strange, but the momentum is so strong that it cannot be ignored.
Li Zu stood in the hotel, looking at the parade procession, and was relieved.
"Lex Luthor looking for you" shadow appears.
"What's the matter?" Li Zu half-turned his head and looked at the shadow.
"He said there was something wrong with the mechanical superman."
