On the fourth floor of the manor, the floor where Bruce and Selena lived, in the dark hallway, Bruce was dragging Benjamin, who had not yet woken up, to the bottom of the stairs, while Selena was in front of him to let him out.

Benjamin, as the head of all the agents in the manor, disappeared for most of the night, which has aroused the vigilance of all the agents, if it weren't for the fact that Benjamin used to perform some covert tasks alone without informing his subordinates, and the other agents knew his style of doing things, then the agents would have started to search the manor a long time ago.

However, this gave Bruce the opportunity to interrogate Benjamin, and he and Selena moved Benjamin to a utility room on the third floor, and when Bruce dragged him in, Selena stood outside the door, holding it with one hand, and said to him, "You better hurry." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the window at the end of the hallway, where the lights were faintly flickering, and it looked like someone walking by with a flashlight, Selena turned to Bruce and said, "The explosion in the reception room was too loud, and they will definitely start looking for it." ”

As she spoke, she glanced down at her watch again and said, "It will take 6 to 7 minutes to get back to our bedroom from the reception room, and even if they need to search, it will take them 20 minutes to find this place at the latest." ”

Selena's brows furrowed more and more, and she said, "Forget it, I'll go over there and make some noise, help you delay a little time, you'd better hurry up." ”

With that, she turned to leave, and Bruce closed the door to the utility room and began to try to wake Benjamin up.

The two of them don't have the affectionate scenes before the couples in some movies go their separate ways, because Bruce knows very well that with Selena's skills, even if he can't beat it, he will definitely be able to run.

On the other side, Lecks had just walked out of Schiller's room, and the professor made it clear that he just wanted to sleep now, so what else could Lecks say? I can only wish him a good dream.

At this time, he was walking upstairs, and he was going to find Clark.

Before, Clark's various anomalies were seen by him, it was impossible to say that he was not curious, he could see that Bruce also wanted to find out who Clark was, and he wanted to solve this problem before Bruce to prove that he was stronger.

When there was a knock on the door, Clark was still a little confused, he had only slept for a short time, and his mind was still a little unconscious, but soon the sleepiness disappeared, and a long-lost relaxation followed.

Because he was in a good mood, Clark didn't care about Lex's interruption, he opened the door, let Lex in, moved a chair for Lex, and said, "Hello, I've already introduced myself before, now it's your turn." ”

Lex let out a cold snort, and he said, "I don't have to talk to you to know, the two of us will definitely not be able to talk, you smirking rural redneck......"

"How can you say that? It's a good thing you're not a student at Met, and if you're in school, they'll expel you for your personal attacks. ”

"You're a student at Metropolitan University, what are you studying?" Lex soon began to check his account.

He felt that there was a strange air about Clarke, something he had never felt in anyone else, a compassionate divinity.

This temperament made him feel very strange, because he felt that he was even the object of pity.

It's ridiculous, Lyke thought, when did he need sympathy from others? Not to mention, the person who sympathizes with him is still a stupid hat who doesn't understand anything at first glance.

However, this feeling surrounded him, making him feel like a man's back, and a faint anger rose up, making his face not very good.

Clark also noticed Lex's weirdness, he spread his hands and said, "We should be about the same age, which college are you?" Or are you still in high school? ”

This sentence just hit Lex's heart again, before, Bruce mentioned some of his experiences at Gotham University, and now, Clark came to tell him how Met University was, co-authored, of the three, he was the only one who didn't go to college.

Lex felt that he shouldn't have any emotional swings for that reason, but he had a strange feeling whenever he thought that Bruce might have a better conversation with Clark.

On the one hand, he felt that Bruce, whose wisdom was on par with his own, could talk more to this stupid hat, and on the other hand, he felt that if he had seized the opportunity but was lagging behind, it would be a big shame.

Clark can feel a person's pulse and heartbeat, and he can judge someone's emotions by a lot of information that he can feel, and what makes him a little puzzled is that Lex's mood swings are quite strong, and Clark doesn't understand why.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Did you quarrel with your friend?" Is that the black-haired guy from before? ”

Lex took a deep breath, he didn't understand why Clarke's every question was so pointed, he grimaced and said to Clarke, "Who the hell are you?" How did you get here? ”

"Didn't I explain it all?" Clark said helplessly.

"Who do you expect your stupid lies to fool? I won't mention the distance between the Metropolitan University and the mayor's residence, the heavy snowstorm outside and the thickness of the snow on the road, and ignore the fire truck tank that strangely appeared in the flower bed downstairs......"

"Clark, has anyone ever told you how pronounced the change in expression is when you feel my mood swings?"

Clark's movements stiffened, he instinctively reached out and touched his cheek, he still wanted to explain, but he really couldn't think of any good reasons, after a long time he sighed, and said:

"It's strange that everyone I've met today can see my anomaly more than I've encountered in previous years."

Lex snorted, then said, "Do you think they can't see it?" If you don't believe me, you can talk to them about it in a serious tone and make sure they will be embarrassed. ”

Clark scratched his head, as if he didn't quite want to imagine such a scenario, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what? We all have a good relationship. ”

"But believe it or not, if you really fly in front of them, or suddenly lift the car, their first reaction must be to be afraid, and they may even attack you,"

Lex got up from his chair and began pacing around the room, and Clark crossed his hands on his hips and said, "No, my friends and family don't fear me because I'm different from others." ”

"Moreover, even if it is a stranger, how can they be afraid of me if I use this ability to help others?"

"Walking on the Stars"

Lex stopped and turned his head to look at Clark, there was a coldness in his eyes that Clark couldn't understand, and he said, "We can make a bet that once you openly show your abilities far beyond ordinary people, you will become the enemy of the world." ”

"I won't." Clark was very adamantly denied, saying, "I didn't want to be a savior, but I never wanted to rule the world. ”

"From the beginning of my awakening ability, until now, I have never done anything bad with this ability, nor have I subjectively used this ability to profit for myself, on the contrary, I have helped many people......"

Lex shook his head, and he said in a cold tone: "Unsupervised superpowers are poison for human society, and for you too, you will be poisoned sooner or later." ”

Clark didn't agree with him at all, he shook his head, and said, "It seems that you are a pessimist, but I am the opposite of you." ”

"My parents used to tell me that while sometimes being defensive may make you safer, if you don't open your heart to the world, the world will never accept you."

Lecks looked at Clark's face, he just wanted to laugh at his innocence, but when he saw the very serious and determined expression on Clark's face, he suddenly couldn't speak again.

Clark's eyes have always been very clear, from his eyes all the way to the end, there is not even a single impurity, looking into his eyes, you can see very clearly what he is thinking.

Lex had never seen anyone like this, and in the two years since he regained consciousness, all the humans he had ever met had chaotic secrets and desires in their eyes.

Two years ago, Lex had come to his senses, but in order to wait for an opportunity to kill Leonel, he had not been exposed, and in the past two years, he had seen him too much, smiled at him and touched his head, and said some sympathetic words, but the schadenfreude in his eyes could not hide the person.

Behind Lex's arrogance about his own wisdom is a pessimism about human nature, or rather, for people like him and Bruce, intelligence is both a gift and a curse, and skepticism accompanies them at all stages of life.

But now, Lex suddenly discovers that he is not completely ridiculed and disdainful of Clarke, a seemingly innocent and hopeless fool.

He thought that he could really play Clark around, easily let him tell all his information, and then use his IQ advantage to show his superiority, but now, he was caught in a serious argument with Clark, and wisdom did not give him an advantage in this regard.

"What the hell are you here for?" Clark looked at Lexner's changing expression, puzzled, he felt as if Lexna had no purpose at all, and after coming in and asking him a few words, he sat there in silence.

"I'm just, forget it...... I just wanted to make sure you were not dangerous to the Met, this is my territory, you better not give it to me, and don't trouble yourself......"

As soon as he said this, Lex fell silent again, because he realized that he really looked like the kind of junior high school gangster who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, threatening children younger than himself not to cause trouble.

He rested his elbows on the table and covered his forehead, and he found that since entering the room, he had become a little abnormal, and the details of his thoughts, Clark could not understand at all, but the emotions that Clark could feel, he was speechless.

"It looks like you're not a student at Metropolitan University." Clark looked at Lykes, who was still thinner and had a more immature face, and looked younger than Clark, who thought he might still be in high school, so he asked:

"You're about to go to college, right? Which university are you going to attend? ”

Before Lex could answer, Clark said to himself: "Actually, I think Metropolitan University is very good, although it is not as ranked as high as other universities on the East Coast, but the campus facilities and community atmosphere are good." ”

Lex made a soft "cut", as if he wanted to discuss the top schools, but just as they were about to chat, several gunshots came from downstairs, followed by a "boom" explosion.

Lex was almost knocked out of his chair, but Clark had already reached the door, he pushed the door open, walked to the staircase, and looked down to see Selena hurrying up, followed by a barrage of agents.
