Belleaf Prison, the world's most secure prison, is designed for the most dangerous and vicious criminals.

The heavy door slowly rises, and Superman and Wonder Woman walk out side by side. The soldiers standing guard on either side saluted them.

"It's impregnable." Superman said, "They've got a special cell for the elementals, and he won't cause any more trouble." ”

Wonder Woman frowned, "Maybe, but we also know the abilities of the elementals, and he may not be able to escape." If this does happen, what do we do? ”

Superman didn't hesitate: "Then we'll catch him again." ”

Wonder Woman sighed, "You know what, there's a reason I don't have a long list of villains like Bruce, Barry, or even you. When it was time to clean them up, I went to clean them up. ”

Superman frowned: "I believe that when you use the word 'tidy', it does not mean private execution. Some people may be damned, but it shouldn't be up to us either. We need a trial process ......"

Wonder Woman interrupted him, "Sometimes we have to do it. ”

The two of them had already flown out of the prison as they spoke.

"Remember that time in Saudi Arabia?" Superman groaned briefly, then said, "We found out that innocent people were wrongly convicted of terrorists and put on death row. ”

Wonder Woman was expressionless: "So, that's what you're worried about?" As long as you have the mantra, it won't. ”

They landed on a rocky hill and looked down at the brightly lit city below. Speechless for a moment.

After getting along for such a long time, the two have long been teammates who can deliver each other's backs. But despite this, there is sometimes a subtle tension between them.

They are allies and friends, but when it comes to moral issues, they often disagree. They have very different views on how to treat criminals. Superman insists on justice and fairness as he believes, while Wonder Woman is more direct and decisive.

They stood on a rocky hill overlooking the city below. The city shimmers with a warm glow at night, but in the eyes of these two men, these bright spots also hide darkness and chaos.

Wonder Woman turned her head and looked at him, "Sometimes, our world isn't fair. We can only do our best. ”

"I know." Superman nodded slightly, "It's just that there are times when we need to remember what makes us different from criminals. ”

"Of course we're different from criminals, maybe we should change the subject." Diana waved her hand.

Superman doesn't talk anymore.

The two were silent for a few seconds. Then Diana turned around abruptly.

"Who!?"

It was a silver-haired girl in a bright red robe, holding a golden skull-shaped object in her hand. This object seems to attract all the life force around it, making people feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Diana immediately became alert, she quickly and skillfully drew the sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at the girl who suddenly appeared: "Pandora? ”

Superman turned around curiously and looked at the girl: "Pandora? Are you that Pandora from Greek mythology? ”

At this time, Diana's eyes were already full of vigilance and hostility: "What are you doing here?" What is the purpose? ”

Pandora's voice was flat, as if everything was expected by her: "You don't need to be nervous, God-King Diana. I'm not here to trouble you. I was caught up in this mess, and I believe that one of you was involved in the first place. ”

Superman looked at her and frowned, "We don't think it's a good idea, Pandora. You'd better get out of here. ”

Pandora smiled softly, her laughter as melodious as a silver bell, "You're right, Superman. Indeed, I am cursed. Because of my existence, human beings have the ability to do evil. But perhaps, I can work with you to restore the world to what it should be. ”

Diana frowned, "We all know what myths are like, Pandora. You opened the box that no one should have opened. ”

Pandora shook her head: "That's because I was deceived. It was one of the Greek gods of yesteryear who made me open the box, and I was freed from the seven deadly sins out of curiosity, and I paid the price for that curiosity. ”

Superman took a deep breath: "This is ridiculous. Human beings can be evil for many reasons, but it can never be because of a magic box."

Pandora looked at him with tears in her eyes: "I know I'm wrong, Superman." I'm just a cursed girl, and I don't want to harm the world. I was just deceived and forced on a terrible mission. ”

Superman looked at her, and a complicated emotion surged up in his heart inexplicably. He tried to keep himself calm, but the sadness and helplessness of the silver-haired girl made him feel a deep sympathy.

No, maybe it's magic. He shook his head.

Diana also looked at Pandora, her eyes still full of vigilance: "I can't fully believe your words, Pandora. What do you want to do? ”

Pandora didn't speak, she just looked at them with a sad look.

She shoved the golden skull box into Superman's hand.

At that moment, the box seemed to be given life.

A dazzling red light, an unsettling brilliance. Superman felt his body begin to tremble uncontrollably. Fear and uneasiness, and countless voices whispering in his ears, as if the box had touched his soul in that instant.

"You have to help me, Superman." Pandora's voice seemed to come from far away, "Only you can open this box, only you can seal all the evil in the world. No, it must be. ”

Superman's body began to tremble. His eyes turned blood-red, and a hoarse growl came out of his mouth. It was as if his body had become some kind of carrier, and red lightning began to overflow.

"Superman!" Diana shouted, "Are you alright? ”

No response.

But a third eye opened on his forehead.

"Drink!"

With a roar, Superman suddenly turned around and punched. Diana, who had been on guard, dodged backwards and deftly dodged her fist.

"Carl, you need to be calm!"

But Superman didn't stop, he continued to rush forward, seemingly completely out of control.

"What's going on?" Pandora asked, horrified, "This shouldn't have happened!" He's Superman! There is not the slightest evil in his heart! ”

"What did that box do to him, Pandora!?" Diana shouted, "Take the box out of his hand!" ”

Diana leaped to her feet and landed a side kick that accurately hit Superman in the abdomen. Superman is kicked out and a wall collapses behind him. He slipped down, his head hitting the ground hard, and the golden box rolled out of his hand to the side.

The red magic chain immediately enveloped the box. Before Superman could reach out and grab it, the box had been dragged back into Pandora's hand through the air.

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Pandora muttered, hugging the box and backing away.

"Superman is closer to humanity than I thought."

The third eye on Superman's forehead seemed to struggle unwillingly for a while, and finally slowly closed. He breathed heavily, tried to get up, but failed, and staggered to the ground.

Diana hurriedly flashed in front of him and grabbed him.

"Are you alright?"

Superman shook his head, trying to break free from his chaotic thoughts. He looked at Diana with a glint of doubt in his eyes: "Where did Pandora go?" ”

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, only to see that the girl with the golden skull box had disappeared into the night, silent, like fine sand in the breeze.

"She's gone."

Superman struggled to get his feet, and he felt like he was in a giant whirlpool, gravity making it impossible for him to stand on his feet.

It was only when he said that he realized how weak his voice sounded. The world in front of me was also a little blurry, as if it was shrouded in a thick layer of fog.

"Are you okay?" Diana frowned.

"I'm not sure, Diana."

Superman looked at his hands suspiciously.

"I felt something was wrong."
