Chapter 17: The Ambition of Delos (Part 2)
In the castle of Lex. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Honestly, Delos, I didn't expect you to intercede for this woman." Like Lex sitting on the throne, he raised his glass of red wine in his ornate office chair and looked at Delos in the center of the hall with a blank expression. At the same time, drink the red wine elegantly. This posture not only appears calm, but also appears to have the majestic temperament of a superior person.
But in Delos's opinion, the goods were purely pretending. Force.
Delos rolled his eyes and explained, "There is more value in keeping her. ”
Lex: "Are you sure you're not tempted by the fact that he's a beautiful girl?" ”
Facing Lex's playful gaze, Delos couldn't help but cover his forehead and said, "I admit that the woman is indeed beautiful, but it is impossible to say something tempting. ”
Delos wasn't a sickly man with a head full of women, not to mention that he didn't like that type, but the look of the girl who wanted to kill him after she was caught was enough to keep him at arm's length.
"Oh?" Lex had a look of disbelief.
Seeing this, Delos helplessly raised three fingers: "First, I am very sure that this woman is not a mutant. I can't accept the fact that the other party is a superpower and throws the black cauldron to a mutant. Unless it's a last resort, I generally prefer to be realistic. ”
Without waiting for Lex to speak, Delos continued: "Second, I'm very interested in her abilities, you know, I'm No.1 in Smallville High School's biology class, and I've been thinking about studying the blood of this kind of superpower. ”
Hearing this, Lex looked like I understood, and then said with some curiosity: "What about the third?" ”
"Third?" Delos smiled helplessly: "This town is chaotic enough, because the whole town is panicked because of the previous incident. And as far as I can speculate, because of these three things, there are already a lot of big people staring here, right? The reason is that there are other superpowers here. ”
Speaking of this, Delos suddenly stared at Lex's eyes and said, "Lex, can I trust you?" ”
At the same time, Delos also let go of his abilities and perceived Lex. Although this behavior is very rude, the current relationship with Lex is not so good for him.
Deloth's abrupt transformation made Lex a little stunned, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, you can say it. As long as it does not violate humanity, I will support it. And what you said today will not be known to a third person. ”
No lying
Through perception, Delos confirmed Lex's answer.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then stepped forward and said, "Naturally, there are only these three people with superpowers in this town, because I know a few other people. ”
Lex's eyes froze slightly, only to revert to their original state in an instant from their long-standing habits, and at the same time motioned for Delos to continue.
The latter took out a few newspapers, which were all reports on the three previous superpower crimes in the town: "Also, according to the strange incidents I collected and the recent superpower crimes, it is surmised that the superpowers in this town basically got superpowers because of the meteorite twelve years ago, not because they are mutants." ”
"So according to my guess, the number of superpowers in the town should be more than twenty, and if you add those who arrived in other cities after leaving the town, I think it will be even more."
Without waiting for Lex to say anything, Delos continued, "And as far as I know, there are still a considerable number of superpowers who want to live their lives. Compared to those bastards who use superpowers to wantonly hurt people, these people are already much better. Otherwise, the town would have been in chaos for a long time, wouldn't it? ”
Hearing this, Lex's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to have guessed what Delos was trying to say.
"Yes, Lex, your guess is right." Delos smiled, "I don't want those forces to come to the town in the name of righteousness to hunt down superpowers. Many of them are innocent and do not deserve this sin. If this superpower crime is exposed, those forces will definitely have enough reasons to search for the superpowers in this town. ”
"And they will also use illegal means, and when the time comes, just say that they are mutants, and mutants are dangerous monsters. The fools who have been deceived by the propaganda will rightfully support the other side to step over the law and do something inhumane. This kind of thing is terrible, isn't it? ”
"Yes." After hearing Delos's reasoning, Lex also quite agreed with his words: "It's terrible, but what do you want?" At the end, Lex suddenly asked
"I can do some help to protect innocent people just because of something like this, but is that really what you're trying to do?"
When Lex asked Delos this, his eyes were fierce, and the pressure of a high-ranking person in his body couldn't help but spread out to Delos.
But will Delos back down because of this pressure? Apparently not, he grinned and said:
"Naturally, my purpose is not to be alone. These things are just one of them. What I want is not only this, I want to get my own power, not only money, but also materials and equipment, and network power. In the end, he evolved from an ant in the eyes of those corrupt and powerful to a demon dragon who dares to roar at the world! ”
Lex's eyes widened, his breath stagnant, and he tried to open his mouth a few times to say something, but he inhaled excitedly as if he was deprived of oxygen. It finally came down to two sentences
"How can you do that? And why do you think you can get my support? ”
Hearing this, Delos did not answer the question directly, but sat down and spoke as if he were chatting about family life
"I love the town, Lex, really, really much. This is my home, and I would love to live a stable life all the time, marry a wife, have children, and live a carefree life. So I've been telling myself not to meddle in my own affairs, and to let others do everything. But I found myself wrong, and from the moment I lived here, my family and I were already swept into the maelstrom of this town. Unless I'm willing to cut ties with this town once and for all and become a coward. But obviously, I can't. ”
Delos was telling the truth, although he had wanted to sit back and relax and live a good life. But he didn't feel good when he saw some tragedies, and he said that he would let Clark solve these things, but in fact, he still had some hope that he could help others. So sometimes I can't control my hands and just do it.
In addition, during this period of superpower crimes, Chloe almost died because she was involved. Because of this incident, Delos completely woke up.
There was a saying in a previous life, it's not that if you don't want to get into trouble, trouble won't come you.
This world is a very dangerous, very dark world, and if you hide from it, won't it look for you? Instead of hiding aside and gambling with a gambling mentality to bet that you will be safe, it is better to take the initiative to face these things and find a way to deal with them.
Delos didn't think there was anything wrong with helping others as much as he could. But he wasn't a virgin. There is revenge, there is resentment, there is complaint, and there is kindness to repay kindness. Kill those who should be killed, save those who should be saved, and fight those who should be beaten. That's how he acts.
But no matter what, there must be enough strength.
"Light has thoughts, but no power, and is called YY. Light has power, but there is no thought, and it is called violence. Delos looked at the slightly excited pale on Lex's face and continued:
"Lex, I really love and hate this world. This world has allowed me to enjoy the beauty of life and the beauty of my family. So I want to let the people I care about live a good life in peace, but this dark world won't allow me to do that. I want to make this corrupt world less cold-blooded, so that there is more warmth in the world, and there is not so much injustice. But the world won't allow me to do that. ”
"Because I'm so small, and my thoughts have touched the mines of the world. So either I will live in obscurity and decay, or I will be obliterated by the world because of my weak strength. I don't want either result, so, I need help! ”
"Lex, please help me!"
Delos stared at Lex's eyes: "Help me, I'll prove to you that your decision is the right one!" ”
