Chapter 223: Adrian Witt
Antarctica, the secret fortress of the pharaohs.
"I really didn't expect that the broken ship to escape from Mandrak's hands."
The Supreme Superman sat on the precious sofa, tasting the precious red wine treasured by the Pharaoh, and there was no disappointment on his expression, but he seemed to be in a good mood.
"However, the anomalous instability has finally been resolved, so that there will be no other obstacles to our plans...... Right, Werther. ”
Sitting across from Superman Supreme was a blonde man in a golden tight-fitting suit, who gently stroked the back of a mutant bobcat with his hand, and his handsome face looked a little worried.
"But another universe has been destroyed...... How many lives—"
"It's a necessary sacrifice, and you should be able to understand me - know that if you let that guy follow the Dome here, it's your universe that will be destroyed."
Superman Supreme sneered and drank all the red wine in the wine glass, and then said in a deep voice.
"It's all about the greater plan."
Then, Superman Supreme stretched and he got up from the couch.
"That tool man of yours called the laughing craftsman seems to have been attacked by someone, and he also revealed some information about you..... How's that, do you need my help? ”
Hearing the words of the Supreme Superman, the Pharaoh shook his head slightly.
"The information provided by the laughing master is meaningless, it will only make Rorschach waste his time and energy on unnecessary things, he is just an ant who can't interfere with the overall situation."
"Well, then I'll leave that to you - if the Dome or anyone else comes into the world, let me know immediately."
The Supreme Superman didn't care, and when he raised his hands and was about to fly into the air, the Pharaoh suddenly raised his head and shouted to stop him.
"Wait, I have a question I've been wanting to ask you."
The Pharaoh stared at the Supreme Superman with a wise gaze, and said slowly after a moment.
"Why would you want to work with me, I appreciate the trust you have placed in me, even telling me about such a great and important project, but I wonder where this trust comes from?"
The Supreme Superman touched his chin, and he stared meaningfully at the Pharaoh for a moment.
"There are probably three reasons, first of all, this world has a special meaning in my plan, and in that case I need someone to help me control this world - that vampire can't be counted on, and you, as the smartest person in this world, meet my requirements."
"Secondly, as I said earlier, I think we are like-minded, and I have seen your plan that has not yet been implemented, exchanging the lives of tens of millions of people for the peace of billions...... It is clear that you are well aware of the meaning of sacrifice. ”
"As for the third point......
The Supreme Superman looked the Pharaoh up and down, his eyes revealing a hint of nostalgia and some complicated emotions.
"Like, it's really too similar, whether it's the kind of strategizing temperament, or the kind of wisdom that controls everything...... Even the clothes are like the quirky aesthetic of gold, and even the name has the same Alexander. ”
"Seeing you reminds me of my only best friend in life."
"Alexander Luther, Jr."

"Miss Silk Soul, do you have any thoughts on the new superpower hero, Supreme Superman?"
"You used to be Dr. Manhattan's girlfriend, have you ever heard him talk about Superman Supreme?"
"Did Dr. Manhattan deliberately conceal the existence of the Supreme Superman in order to show that he was unique?"
"Now that Dr. Manhattan has been missing for so long, have you considered a new relationship?"
"Once the companion of the strongest superhero, Dr. Manhattan, would you have any special thoughts about the equally powerful Supreme Superman?"
Under the pressure of reporters and media cameras, microphones, long guns and short guns, the second-generation silk soul Jenny Juspek Zeke wished that he really had the superpower to be invisible and through walls and leave here.
"I'm sorry, but I'll always have one thing to say about your question - no comment!"
With the agility and agility of a top acrobat, Jenny finally finds a chance to get out of the various gossip paparazzi and escape quickly.
"Why is the silk soul gone?"
"Go find it, or the next time you see her, you won't know when-"
Silk Soul, who was hiding in the shadow of an alley not far away, sighed, and looked at the broken shopping bag in her hand, her pretty face full of depression.
Dr. Manhattan, who was once worshipped as a god by the whole world, has been missing for so long, and the Silk Soul, who is his girlfriend and cohabitant, has of course become the focus of everyone's attention.
But this will only be a problem for Silk Soul, she has not been out for almost a month, but no matter what, the materials needed for life still need to be procured and stocked.
What Silk Soul never expected was that he had just finished purchasing supplies from the supermarket, and those reporters and media were ambushing at the door as if they had already gotten the news.
"Why are these guys so idle, do they have nothing to do after world peace?"
Silk Soul looked depressedly at the paparazzi who were still scattered outside looking for her, and wondered how she could get out of here without knowing it-
"Looks like you need some help?"
Suddenly, Silk Soul felt a wide palm on her shoulder, and she almost reflexively turned around and raised her leg to fight back.
However, her attack was easily defused by the opponent, and a young man with white skyrocketing hair grabbed her calf with one hand.
"So you female superheroes, how do you like to meet and raise your legs."
Red looked at the silk soul in front of him with a smile, and put his other hand to his mouth to make a silent gesture.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Jenny, I'm here to help you."
——
"Hey, I think I see a trace of Rorschach over there."
"Who?! That Rorschach from The Watchmen? ”
"Yes, that's him! I saw his mask, and no one else could disguise it! ”
"Catch up, Silk Soul may leave with him."
Taking advantage of Eve's rhythm in the midst of the reporters, and the figure that Rorschach deliberately left for the reporters, the attention of the crowd was immediately shifted to the other side of the street.
And Red also seized this opportunity, took the hand of the second generation of silk souls and left quickly in the other direction.
"Thank you...... I don't know what to call you? And I'm really sorry just now, I accidentally ......"
Silk Soul, who had finally escaped from the reporters and the media, looked at Red with a slight look of gratitude and apology.
"It's okay, it's right to be careful in this situation."
Red, however, never seemed to have any intention of letting go of the Silk Soul's palm, and he quickly walked through the streets with the Silk Soul like a couple in love, which was also an effective way to disguise himself.
"My name is Red Douglas...... Of course, if you're all used to being called by nicknames, you can also call me Berserker. ”
"Well, thank you, Mr. Douglas, and I'll thank you personally if I have the opportunity in the future—but for now......"
Seeing that he was about to approach his home, Silk Soul tried to break free from Red's grasp, but although the latter's hand was not strong, it still did not move like an iron tong.
"Are you sure you want to go home now? I don't think it's a good choice. ”
Hearing Red's words, the second-generation silk soul looked up and immediately found that there were already many paparazzi with cameras set up near his house.
"How can you even be here...... Tsk, then-"
"Your mother, the home of a generation of silk souls is probably not much better, especially when the laughing master was found to have been beaten and seriously injured in his own house a few hours ago, you must know that he and your mother have had an affair before."
At this time, the eyes of the second generation of silk souls looking at Red began to be a little more vigilant, as a senior superhero, she already felt that there was something unnatural in it.
"You...... Who the hell are you? What are your intentions in looking for me? ”
"I've already said it, I just want to help you."
Red almost forcibly dragged the silk soul in the direction of the safe house, and the latter could only grit his teeth and follow him in order not to cause too much movement to attract the attention of passers-by.
"If I say I'm a friend of Rorschach...... Can you trust me? ”
——
"Rorschach's friend - next time you want to gain my trust, you'd better do it differently. First of all, I don't have a good relationship with Rorschach in the first place, and I don't really like the way he does things......"
After entering the safe house, Red finally let go of Silk Soul's hand, which moved his slightly red and swollen wrist, looking a little unpleasant.
"Secondly, I don't think that guy's personality makes friends."
Red shrugged, sat down on the couch, and made a gesture of please to the seat opposite.
"But anyway, you still believe me, and you come here with me, don't you?"
"Because I don't have any other choice."
The plump lips of the silk soul pursed slightly, obviously a mature and plump beauty, but with a little bit of innocence and cuteness that only a little girl has, she sat on the seat opposite Red, and raised Erlang's legs.
"Okay, now it's time for you to tell me what you're looking for me, right?"
Red didn't answer Silk Soul's question immediately, but looked the woman in front of him up and down thoughtfully.
I have to say that the second generation of Silk Soul is an absolutely first-class beauty even as an actor, although she did not wear a combat uniform, she still has an awe-inspiring and sassy temperament, pure and mature, coquettish and cute, and a variety of attributes are perfectly combined.
No wonder even Dr. Manhattan, a demigod who has transcended the mundane world, is obsessed with this woman.
As if sensing Red's fierce gaze that seemed to see through her body, Silk Soul felt hairy all over her body, and instinctively shrank slightly into the chair.
"You...... What the hell do you want to do, tell me clearly, or I'll be leaving. ”
Red suddenly stood up and walked towards the Silk Soul.
"Briefly, I'm trying to know a few things about Dr. Manhattan, what the hell he left for, where he is now, how to find him."
Hearing Red's words, Silk Soul breathed a sigh of relief, but an impatient expression immediately appeared on her face, and it looked like she had already answered these questions many times.
"Sure enough, you're no different from those journalists...... My answer is the same, I don't know! To be honest, it was quite sudden for me, and although my relationship with him may have cooled down a little during this time, I haven't seen him disappear without saying a word - hey, what do you want to do, it's too close! ”
However, Red didn't seem to be listening to Silk Soul seriously, but walked directly to Silk Soul, and then stretched out his hand towards Silk Soul's beautiful face......
Straight into her blonde hair.
Click.
At that moment, Silk Soul felt a slight sting in her hair, and then when Red's hand pulled out of her hair, there was already a mung bean-sized object between her fingers.
"It's ...... What?! When—"
"Just when you were surrounded by reporters and media, and in fact, I was just ...... Or the person behind it. ”
The route information that Silk Soul came out to procure was actually deliberately revealed to media reporters by Red and Rorschach.
Before, Red asked Rorschach to go to the Laughing Maker, but in fact, getting information from the Laughing Maker was secondary, and his real purpose was just the opposite.
He was deliberately leaking some of his own information.
If the Pharaoh was as clever as the rumors suggested, he must have quickly deduced that Rorschach's next target was the other members of the Watchmen.
And things turned out as Red expected, when the Silk Soul was surrounded by reporters and media, there must be Pharaoh's people among them—no, maybe there was Pharaoh among them.
After all, I can get here so soon, I'm afraid that the Pharaoh was not far away just now.
Red looked in the direction of the door, only to see a tall, thin young man push open the door and walk in, as if this was his house, and quickly took off his sunglasses and wig.
After seeing his true face, Silk Soul's eyes widened in surprise, and at the same time, she couldn't close her mouth for a while.
"Adrian? Why would you .......?"
However, the Pharaoh ignored the existence of this old teammate, and his bright and wise eyes remained firmly fixed on Red.
"I didn't expect anyone to survive from Mandrak...... If I tell the Supreme Superman that you've come into this world—"
"Then this world will be ruined, if I and the Supreme Superman, and even Mandrak use this place as a battlefield to fight with all our might, not to mention who wins and who loses, but how many people do you think will survive on this planet - and even this universe?"
I have to admit that this time Red has an element of gambling, and it is very likely that the Pharaoh has reached a cooperative relationship with the Supreme Superman, and now he is equivalent to taking the initiative to leak the information that he came to this world in advance.
But there is also value in gambling, and with his own knowledge of Superman Supreme, Red believes that with his character, it is impossible to truly trust others...... It's impossible to make people really trust him.
And now it seems that Red's bet has been successful.
"While he won't be using super hearing all the time, we can't venture to talk here either."
Finally, Adrian Witt turned his head and made a gesture to follow him.
"If you want to believe me, come with me."
"I can't let this world be ruined by monsters."
