Chapter 129: Superman and Wonderful
Chen Tao sat in the seat of the extended Lincoln, he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking out the window.
The breeze is warm, the sky is cloudless, and only countless white doves soar into the sky.
The car news channel was playing Louis Lane's gentle female voice.
"Historians of the Metropolitan divide the history of the city into two periods, the period before the arrival of Superman...... and after the arrival. β
"Metropolis News Online" is the latest radio channel born in Metropolis, controlled by Bruce Wayne, with Louis Lane as the founder and main partner, focusing on the news and information of the car channel, and the development prospect is very impressive.
"It's hard to remember what life was like before that, [Superman Era], it seems that every aspect of urban life has changed overnight."
"Police patrols, school classes, fashion politics...... It seems that even the weather has changed. β
Chen Tao looked out the window, and countless demonstrators held signs and confronted heavily armed anti-explosive police, and the time was quiet and "not" good β but the world has always been like this, and therefore, the world can probably be considered beautiful.
"In the months leading up to that, the Met had its fair share of ups and downs, you know, like every city in human history."
Louis's voice speaks:
"Violent crime rates are slowly rising, and corruption cases have shaken people's confidence in leaders."
The stretched Lincoln is parked behind the traffic jam, with grumpy drivers in front of it, and the constant honking of horns, but thanks to the excellent sound insulation of luxury cars, it does not look noisy.
"The wind, still driven by air pressure and temperature, is the same as elsewhere."
Chen Tao heard the news channel, and Louis seemed to chuckle.
"It may seem strange to pay attention to this detail, but somehow, one day, the direction of the wind is no longer driven by the forces of nature......"
Violence escalated over the demonstrations ahead, with someone throwing a homemade Molotov cocktail at the police ranks.
The police shouted loudly, and Chen Tao clearly saw that the demonstrator, who had just escalated into a mob, pulled out a gun.
ββ¦β¦ Rather, it is driven by the crisis. β
"A gust of wind blew across East Street, and a pedestrian was dragged back from the speeding driveway."
A red and blue wind blew, and the mob's guns fell to the ground and were then melted into molten iron by the heat sight.
Louis's voice was still ringing:
"A strong wind passed through the underground tunnels of the Morrison Express, and a child who had fallen into the track returned to his parents' arms."
In the procession of demonstrations, people screamed loudly:
"Look, that's Superman!"
"Hey! Superman! β
"Superman, look here!" People held up their cameras and mobile phones, and flashes kept flashing.
In the car channel, Louis's pre-recorded voice is still ringing, and it looks slightly high-spirited:
"As the clear weather of a hurricane hits, an existential threat is swept back into space."
"Before we could fully understand what was going on, the rules were changed."
"The age of miracles began without warning!"
Chen Tao rolled down the window and saw Louis Lane in the crowd, and Jimmy Olsen carried a camera for her: "Hurry up, Jimmy, we have a chance to interview the organizers of this anti-government demonstration!" β
Chen Tao saw her struggling through the crowd and heard her voice ringing in the car stereo:
"Chat with any local in the metropolis and you can hear the stories of this era......"
People cheered, and everyone was shouting Superman. The sound was a tsunami, and Clark Kent carried a few mobs and hung them from a nearby tree.
"But as in all the legends of Hero's Journey, the enemies of the city are still on the move, harder to fight and even harder to detect than before."
In the depths of the universe, Brainiac sits high on the throne at the apex of the Metropolis, Lex Luthor is operating something on his workbench, and the parasite roars loudly in the energy suppression prison.
"But we just have to look up and see that red and blue figure, and we'll know:"
"We can still have hope."
Louis Lane finally squeezed in front of a blonde woman: "Hello - I'm a reporter for the Louis Lane Daily Planet, and I'm the organizer of this demonstration, right?" How many members are there this time? β
"About thirty or forty thousand."
The camera shows the blonde's face, and she tugs Jimmy Olsen's camera again to completely put herself in the same frame as Superman, who is pacifying the people. And Louis's question rang out again:
"I heard that your march was to protest against the government's lax enforcement of the law, so much so that Superman was needed to replace the police?"
Louis asked, "Are you here to protest against Superman?" β
"No, no, no!"
The blonde hurriedly shook her head: "What we're protesting about is why can't the police hand over all the work they can't do to Superman?" β
"Forehead ......"
Louis was stunned, but out of the professional instinct of a reporter, she still deliberately contradicted her: "But many people say that Superman has made the police and fire brigade lose the meaning of existence, and he is an illegal ruler!" β
"That's right, Superman is a ruler!"
She heard the other party admit it directly, and Louis immediately thought that he was going to get a big news.
However, in the next second, she heard the other party's voice full of confusion: "So, why hasn't Superman come to rule us yet?" β
Ah......h
Then Louis saw the other party take off his shirt and suddenly change from a female demonstrator to a female bodhisattva. She stumbled towards Superman, leading to a burst of men's screams, "Superman! Come and rule us! β
The young female reporter slapped her on the head. She shouted at Jimmy:
"What are you still doing? Cut out this paragraph quickly!! β
Chen Tao chuckled and rolled up the window.
A few hours later, his car stopped in front of a building.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Mr. Bruce Wayne to our Masquerade Charity Auction Banquet!"
Pushing open the door, most of the people in the staggered hall were dressed up in all sorts of ways, some dressed as Superman, some as Batman, but more often as Wonder Woman, or some other female villains-
The woman in the bunny girl costume insists that she is just playing the supervillain [White Rabbit], but Chen Tao thinks she just wants to sell meat.
"What kind of villain is this?" Chen Tao heard someone ask another woman:
"Hey, there's a female villain in Las Vegas recently called Live Wire, don't you know?" The female guest dressed as a live wire made a gesture to generate electricity: "Woohoo! β
Chen Tao put on his Batman coat.
In the sound of melodious music, he walked to the stage: "Ahem, I want to say a few words." β
Then he lowered his voice and said:
"I'm Batman!"
"I'm Batman!"
"Bruce Wayne is Batman!"
"Thanks, I'm done."
There was thunderous applause below. I don't know what to clap for, but I just follow the beat.
Then Chen Tao continued to sing:
β I am blueοΌ (I'm depressed)"
βI am blueβββ
Alfred stood below with a smile on his face. The years were quiet and beautiful, and he had dreamed of such a scene in countless dreams.
His Bruce puts on a Batman costume, but only to sing a song at the masquerade, not to save the city.
Chen Tao came down from the podium, and Clark Kent, dressed in Superman's uniform, was waiting for him.
"It's not easy to find you, busy man."
Chen Tao quipped: "How many lives have been saved?" β
"Don't mention it." Superman looked sluggish: "Do you know about the suicide ghetto? β
Chen Tao nodded.
The Suicide Slum is one of the worst social neighborhoods in the southern part of the metropolis, and some of the money raised from today's charity gala will be used in addition to helping Gotham.
"Now there's an angel out of the suicide slum β forget it, I'll take you to see the situation."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
International Gang.
The most entrenched gangs in the metropolis are engaged in goods trading, gambling, and numerous illegal projects.
But today, an uninvited guest broke into their trading scene.
"Oh my God, in the name of the Virgin Mary, in the name of God, you are doing this with utter blasphemy!"
The gangster gunman looked at the old woman who appeared in front of him with a bewildered expression. The other party was a black man, dressed in simple floral clothes, with gray hair and a reverent face.
Facing the muzzle of the gun he raised, the woman was not only not afraid, but deliberately slammed into the muzzle.
"The great God will forgive you for your sins and send angels to overcome you!"
The gangster gunman was stunned by this crazy look. He turned to look at his companion:
"Is this old woman sick in the head?"
"I'm not sick in my head, I'm mentally normal. I have come to preach the gospel of God. To save you, lost lambs. β
"I've heard of her." Another gangster whispered to the gunman with the gun, "God, Bob, you should really watch the news instead of wasting your time on women or getting drunk every day." This woman's name was Saphna Williams, nicknamed Angel, and she had become famous in our neighborhoods by the time. β
Seeing the other party clasp his hands together and approach with a reverent face, the gunman's heart was also a little drumming.
"What's the matter with this man? Tell me more about it. β
"Almighty and Almighty Father, my Almighty Lordβ"
"Hiss......"
The gunman grimaced.
The other party shouted compassion at the muzzle of the gun and sang the gospel of God, which the gang gunman had never seen before.
"You know, we've always ...... in this few neighborhoods. It's not too peaceful, and she deliberately goes to dangerous places every time. β
"Remember the last robbery at that neighborhood bank? A bunch of out-of-town gangsters, who don't follow our rules at all, but the firepower is super fierce, I heard that they are from Gotham, and the gangsters on their side have been silent for almost three months, and they don't know why they are not allowed to commit crimes, so they crossed the line and crossed the line. β
"I know that, and then what?"
Then the woman rushed straight up and reprimanded the robbers.
"Huh?"
"Yes, everyone thought this old woman was crazy, but in the end, ......"
"Damn it!"
The gangster gunman's face suddenly darkened, he raised his gun and pointed it at the old woman, he knew what the follow-up of that incident was, those robbers who had crossed the line were all beaten by Superman all over the ground looking for teeth, he had to quickly collapse this old woman who would call Superman-
Boom!
The bullet landed on the red and blue S logo, and the gunman cursed: "Hell! β
Then the gun in his hand was melted into molten iron by the heat sight.
The old woman, Sephna, hid behind Superman, jumped and jumped: "Oh, praise God Almighty, praise Jesus Almighty!" You have saved me once again by sending an angel to me! β
Chen Tao stood next to him: "Okay, I think I've figured out what's going on." β
Superman floated up to Saphna, an old woman with a devout faith, and sighed, "Saphna, I can't come to save you every time. You can't go on like this any longer. β
He scratched his head: "Although I don't mind rushing to stop the crime. But you should be aware of how dangerous it is to rush directly into the scene of the * goods trade to stop them. β
"No, it's not you who came, it's God Almighty who sent you to me."
But it is clear that Superman's words did little for the other side: "God heard the prayer of the Lamb and therefore sent you, the angel, to me to help me from evil!" β
She turned to Chen Tao, who was standing next to Clark: "Holy God, thank God! This time a new angel appeared in front of me! β
The old woman rushed up to shake Batman's hand, her eyes sparkling and full of adoration: "Angel who fights evil, your lamb sends you the most sincere greetings!" β
ββ¦β¦β
The two were speechless for a moment.
With a bang, Chen Tao was shot in the head. Together with Clark, he turned his head to look at the International gang gunmen.
Immediately afterward, the screams of the gang gunmen rang out in the warehouse where the transaction was conducted.
"Whew!"
"Ahh
"My leg is broken, my leg is broken!"
On the battlefield where bullets were flying, the old woman Safna began to sing to herself:
"Holy, Jehovah! Holy, angels! β
She sings the melodious voice of a church choir by herself, and Superman quickly blocks all the bullets that come at her for her, and then takes down the gangsters with a few punches.
A few minutes later, the police hurried to seize the beaten and swollen international gangsters, and the old woman Saphna was still there to preach the glory of God and her own set of supreme good theories to the policemen.
It is difficult for Chen Tao to evaluate the other party.
"In life, you will always meet one or two strange things." He comforted Clark.
"This is the third time this week that she has stormed the gang's trade scene."
Clark complained, "Someday I won't have time to save her." β
Chen Tao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk about this, Clark, are you ready to be Batman from tonight?" β
"Of course." Clark nodded, then said with some hesitation, "Are you really going to retire?" β
"Of course." Chen Tao said without hesitation: "Put on the bat uniform first, I have long wanted you to cure the problem of the Gotham gang!" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Bang.
Ms. Siwa and Bane staggered.
"What's going on?"
Jason asked in a low voice, "Teacher Siva?" β
He looked at Bane, "This guy has gotten stronger?" β
"It's not that I've become stronger, it's that your teacher has become weaker." Then he heard the voice of the behemoth: "You are still the number one martial artist in the world, but you are no longer indisputable." β
It was undoubtedly a great insult, but Ms. Siwa did not answer.
A cold sweat ran down Jason's forehead. Mr. Siva is not in good shape, an enemy like Bane......
"Frankly, the problem between us is not serious, especially when we have Batman as a common enemy."
Bane said, "But I still chose to knock you down before talking." β
"After settling our grievances, we might be able to team up against Batman together," he said. β
"This time, I'm going to break Batman's back!"
