――――
Standing on top of a tall building, Dave crouched on the edge, overlooking New York at night.
The colorful light that fills the city makes it look like some mysterious treasure that no one can hide its brilliance. And Dave was convinced that he had made this treasure even better.
Perhaps it was the first night in many years, and there was no more vicious language, no more screams, no more helpless cries for help in New York City. Dressed in silver-white clothing, the army of Faceless Beings patrolled the city, keeping an eye on everyone, arresting those who clashed, arresting those who spoke ill of each other, killing those who stole and looted on the spot, and hanging them in the air with their tentacles.
The corpse and the crime, although the most primitive combination and demonstration, are enough to ensure that no one dares to continue to violate the "law" set by Dave, and even if there is, it will be a dead body.
It was the sixth day after the proclamation, and the Watchmen League had brought a new revolution to the world, and under Dave's thunder, all opposition had vanished in death, and true peace had come to the world.
Endless armies of Faceless Ones multiply through the bodies of Cthun rooted in various cities, they are emotionless, they are forbidden, they are powerful and cruel, and because of their presence, Dave has been able to announce to the world the outcome of their alliance discussions, which are the strict Watcher Orders.
First, those who quarrel with each other are imprisoned.
Second, those who fight each other are imprisoned.
Thirdly, the thief and robber die.
Fourth, the murderer dies.
Fifth, the terrorist attacker died.
Sixth, the rapist dies.
Seventh, drug traffickers die.
……
Article 120: The one who is evil shall die.
As if a basin of cold water was used to extinguish the flames, in the face of the death threat of one hundred and eighteen, everyone was silent, and the tall tentacles erected everywhere warned everyone with the corpses hanging on them, so that they could live obediently.
But that's not enough!
"My lord, what are you worried about?" Cthun's body was still small, and she asked, floating beside Dave.
"I'm thinking, if it's just a threat, only a superficial problem is solved, there are still many fundamental problems in human society, if they don't solve it, then they will one day cause conflicts again, the most important thing now is the energy problem, human society can't support itself while supporting the army of the Faceless, we need new ......" Dave's words were not finished, but he had already turned his head under Cthun's reminder.
At the entrance to the rooftop, there stood a man dressed in black with a black cloth covering his face.
"Daredevil is here." Dave said hello.
Daredevils walked over to Dave's side and stepped on the edge of the rooftop, the wind blowing his thin clothes, but the man was not the slightest fear.
"It's a nice view, Watchman." Daredevil spoke.
"yes, it's a pity you can't see it."
"Well, although I'm blind, I'm not going down the wrong path."
"Are you here to rejoin us today, or are you here to persuade me?" Dave tilted his head, the recent success had put him in a good mood.
"You know I can't do the work of persuasion, but, I want to say, Watchman, you can't impose your will on everyone, you can't help them choose their path."
"So you just watch them go astray and end up destroying themselves?" Dave asked rhetorically, "If that's the case, I might as well let them die at my hands first." Daredevil may be because you can't see them, so you can 'watch' them fall into the abyss without thinking about taking the slightest precaution. ”
"It may not be a wrong path, but a free path, and even if it is full of thorns, he ......"
"You know in your heart, Daredevil Man, look at the world, how beautiful it has become? Did you hear any cries for help tonight? Abusive? People say hello to each other and have a great time! Is this world bad? ”
"That's because you've held yourself too high, Watcher, and you can't see their lives at all, and will you be happy if you lose all your abilities and live in your utopia of no freedom and fear?"
"Oh man, not yet, my world isn't free yet, and I don't care about their feelings, I just want to ask you, does my method work? Is there still a crime in this world now? Is there still a war? And the injuries and killings that happen because of the so-called chivalry, the so-called heroic deeds? ”
"Absolutely! Watchman, are you still not clear? What you have committed is the greatest crime, what you have created is a new war, and the world is being harmed by your childish heroic thoughts and chivalrous deeds! Daredevil shouted, "Wake up! The world is not your toy! ”
"You know what? I'm serious, I know it's a great cause, I know it in my heart, and I know that all innovation requires sacrifices, and when these sacrifices go away, people will gradually get used to their lives, and then they will forget the stupid freedom and the fear of boredom, and they will only feel good and stable, happy and peaceful. ”
"The sheep think so, shepherd! Are the flocks happy? Daredevil laughed angrily, and he asked rhetorically.
"How do you know they're unhappy? Hey, listen, I don't want to argue with you about this boring philosophical question, I'm just curious right now, who is that guy flying out of the sky? ”
"Superman, of course!"
When the syllable "human" fell, a burly man was already standing out of thin air in front of the two, wearing a blue tights, a big S printed on his chest, and a red cloak dancing behind his back. He has a resolute and upright face that makes people can't help but trust and get close to him when they see him, that is, the beloved Superman.
"Are you here to dissuade me, too?" Dave stood up, his gaze level with Superman, and he looked at the good old man calmly through the lenses of his armor.
Superman smiled kindly, "Actually, I'm here to try to persuade you!" Of course, when you can't do it, I'll stop you. ”
"You can't convince me, because I didn't do anything wrong."
"Watchmen, everyone will have times like this, we will have setbacks, we will feel that what we hold on to is meaningless, we will grieve for what is precious, but we must not forget what we went on the road for in the first place, we must not forget the vows we made!"
"I remember, I'm doing it!" Dave said firmly.
"But I think, my friend, that you may have taken the wrong path, we understand you, and we want you to come back, to us!" Superman spreads his arms.
"So, why didn't you come to me, Superman!" Dave also opened his arms to Superman, "I'm actually quite curious, do you also support Batman's idea?" Hey, Captain America is a murderer, Iron Man is a murderer, even you've killed people, why doesn't Batman kill? ”
"This question is stupid, never ask a person why they should have an insistence."
"Then let me put it another way, why can't I kill someone?"
