"You said you are weaker than Superman?"
"Yes, what's wrong."
"So, does Superman actually have the ability to destroy the ecosystem on the surface of the planet?"
Lex Luthor suddenly thought of this question.
Wu Ke thought for a while and asked: "How many nuclear weapons are there in this world?"
"Hey, does this have something to do with my problem?"
"It's relevant, because I don't know if Superman has the ability to cause large-scale destruction, but if there are enough nuclear bombs in this world, he can seize that thing and blow it up everywhere.
The range-type destructive power of nuclear weapons probably won't have much impact on Superman, but it will be a fatal blow to other life on the surface of this world. "
Lex Luthor: "..."
Suddenly he felt that provoking Superman might be the most irrational thing he had ever done in his life.
Looking at the private cells around him that imprisoned his personal freedom, Lex Luthor felt a little warm. This place was better than being burned to ashes, then thrown into a coffin, and finally buried in the soil. The airtight environment was better. Too much.
At this moment, Lex Luthor thanked God for making Superman a good person with a bottom line.
"What do you think about joining my Justice League Dark and helping me prevent the destruction of this world?"
It's a pity that there are no Pokémon in this world, otherwise Lex Luthor might ask "Are you Team Rocket" now?
"Why don't you go find Superman to maintain peace and protect the world from destruction? Aren't those superheroes more professional than me, a prison inmate?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't look for you, it's just that you were the first one I found."
Wu Ke replied.
"So, you think I'm more powerful than those superheroes, or even Superman?"
Lex Luthor puffed out his chest.
Wu Ke blinked: "No, I just thought you were a bad guy at first, and you should be easier to convince than the good guys."
Lex Luthor's expression suddenly fell: "What kind of logic do you have? Should bad people be easily persuaded?"
"No, I just want to express that I have commendable persuasion skills and am better at persuading some bad people to help me."
As he spoke, Wu Ke closed his hands and turned the scrap iron in his hands into a flat piece of scrap iron.
Then, in front of Lex Luthor, Wu Ke performed the act of treating flat scrap metal as paper and tearing it into strips bit by bit.
[Damn it, is this a legitimate threat? ! 】
Lex Luthor's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"Then, do you want to refuse an invitation from a messenger of justice to prison inmates who have made some mistakes to correct their mistakes and make up for their mistakes?"
"Let me ask, what will happen if I still refuse now?"
"Normally speaking, for bad guys who don't want to cooperate, I will usually end their sinful and useless life early, but you are an exception. Because of your reputation as a charity king, I will choose to force you to change your appearance."
As he spoke, a smiling mask with black snake patterns formed on Wu Ke's hand.
"I have some skills to manipulate people's spirits and consciousness. Although I am not very good at using them, and those things should be difficult to control those with strong strength and strong will, but I developed it through other characteristics I possess. It has an ability that should be considered interesting."
Wu Ke pointed to the smiling mask in his hand and continued: "I call it the [Mask of Justice]. As long as you wear it, you will experience a different self, your thinking will be changed, and your thoughts will be changed." will be recast.
Of course, since this is a skill I came up with out of the blue, I have never used it on others.
Therefore, I cannot guarantee what will happen to you after you use it. If you have an accident, please don't blame me, because all this can only be regarded as your own bad life..."
【My own life is not good? 】
Lex Luthor had a saying, 'Mom sells batches', which he kept deep in his heart.
"So, what I can actually choose is to 'voluntarily' join, or am I forced to join?"
Wu Ke nodded and agreed with this statement.
"Okay, then I am very 'willing' to join your Justice League Dark!"
The situation is stronger than the person. Lex Luthor experienced it from Wu Ke. What kind of situation would it be when Superman did not follow the rules at all? He gritted his teeth and said.
[The only solution for now is to bow down temporarily and make peace with the other party. After he is released from prison, he can take out the secret weapon originally developed for Superman...]
Lex Luthor is thinking about his biological laboratory, where there are biological weapons specially developed for Superman.
Six years ago, when Superman was killed by Doomsday, Lex Luthor spent a small sum of money to obtain Superman's cells through some special interpersonal channels.
Then, using some relevant equipment and technological information obtained from the Kryptonian spacecraft, he was lucky enough to successfully clone a 'Superman' embryo in the biological laboratory he established.
From what I saw last time when I was released from prison, although the embryonic individual has not yet fully developed, and it will take at least a few more years to fully develop, the physical strength that I saw last time has already reached a very high level. At a high level, if released early, there should be strong combat...
"Okay, then just put it on yourself."
Wu Ke handed the [Mask of Justice] in his hand to Lex Luthor.
Lex Luthor, who had something stuffed in his hand and his thoughts somewhat interrupted, looked confused.
"No, why do you want me to wear this thing when I agreed to join? If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be able to change my personality, control my consciousness, and it also carries unknown risks, right?"
Lex Luthor was a little angry and asked Wu Ke his inner question.
Wu Ke shrugged: "Yes, you did say you wanted to join, but just because you said it, it doesn't mean that I can trust you unconditionally. There must be something to build a bridge of trust between the messengers of justice and the prison inmates." ?”
"You mean this mask?"
Lex Luthor threw the mask on the ground angrily, then jumped out of bed and stepped on the mask. The mask was turned into a pile of black mud, but the black mud squirmed and wrapped itself around it. He grabbed Lex Luthor's feet and got into him without any explanation.
"???"
"Don't worry, this thing is like a remote-controlled bomb. Although I don't know what will happen if it explodes, but I can control whether it explodes or not.
As long as you sincerely assist me, then you don't have to worry about what harm will be caused to you by what enters your body.
I am a messenger of justice who will never harm my good friends. Regarding this, Lex Luthor, you can trust me! "
Wu Ke's eyes were full of sincerity, as if the second personality mask that could theoretically shape others to be controlled by him and cover others' selves was not created by him.
Lex Luthor: "..."
"By the way, didn't you just say that this thing can't handle people with strong wills?"
Luther thought of something and asked immediately.
"I just said that casually. If you are very confident in your own will, you can give it a try. However, I cannot guarantee whether your life will be guaranteed in this process... If you truly love life, stay away from taking risks. my new friend!"
Lex Luthor: (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻
[How can anyone play with this? ! 】
. . . .
Having achieved his goal, Wu Ke left the private prison, and two days passed quickly.
Recently, Lex Luthor, who has been in a bad mood, finally came to the end of his detention investigation.
Simply put, it’s the day you get out of jail.
. . . .
One day ago, the headquarters of the New York Daily Planet, which had been relocated from Metropolis, was in the office of the boss of the Daily Planet.
"Clark, I have an urgent reporter here to hold an interview meeting, but in the branch closer to the interview site, other people have their own work on their hands, but the supervisor at the branch wants to start from the headquarters. At the same time, send a capable errand reporter to help temporarily.
I wonder if you, who has the title of Fastest Reporter, would like to work overtime on this shift? Well, during this period, you will receive double wages. You will still receive the salary from the headquarters, and the branch will also need to give you a regular salary for helping in the past. . "
"Okay, I'm willing to work overtime, but can I know in advance what type of reporter will hold the interview?"
"Of course, that was a press conference held by one person, Lex Luthor. I think you are not unfamiliar with this name."
This name was not only unfamiliar to Clark, it was simply too familiar.
Clark even reported a lot of dirty stuff about the other party and received some considerable news bonuses.
"I know him, but what happened to that man?"
"He's getting out of jail again."
"You're out of jail, why are you holding a press conference again?"
Clark frowned.
"If I remember correctly, in the second year after Lex Luthor was always caught by Superman, the guy behaved very low-key every time he was released from prison, as if he was afraid of being discovered by outsiders. It's like provoking Superman again..."
"Yes, but who can understand the thoughts of a rich man? Maybe he thinks he is good again."
The boss of the Daily Planet shrugged his shoulders.
. . . .
"After half a year, I am free again."
Lex Luthor said with some sigh as he stood in front of reporters holding various long guns and short cannon lenses.
"Mr. Lex, I don't know why you are holding a press conference with great fanfare. Aren't you afraid that Superman will find out that you are released from prison and bring out some evidence of your crime to send you back to prison after you have just been released from prison? ?”
On the day of the press conference, a reporter in front asked Clark a question he wanted to know.
Superman, who had disguised his identity, stood in the middle of a group of reporters.
Wearing black-rimmed glasses, he looks like an ordinary ordinary person, but he is no different from the real ordinary reporters around him.
“I am not afraid. Facts have proven that people who are wronged can always get a fair trial under the law. No matter how many times I am detained, investigated, or collected evidence, the outcome is always the same.
Because I am innocent and was wrongly accused by Superman for no reason. I don’t know why Superman did this, but there is no doubt that what he did was extremely immoral..."
Listening to Lex Luthor talking freely and criticizing Superman above, Clark below felt a little magical. Could it be that he really followed the words of his newspaper boss, because he hasn't paid much attention to Luthor in the past two years. In the end, the other party really drifted away. This time he was released from prison again, so he felt that he was okay again?
[If this is the case, it seems that new evidence must be thrown out...]
Clark thought that after being resurrected, when he was preparing to take revenge on Luther, he collected a lot of dark evidence about the other party.
But Clark did not directly release all Luthor's black materials, because he knew that in this country, for a rich man, unless he uses his own superhuman strength to forcefully oppress the other party, otherwise those black materials will be It's just to fine the other party and suffer some losses.
Therefore, Clark chose to let go a little bit, each time to stir up public opinion, and then use public opinion to put the other party in jail.
Although the other party has made a lot of amends, it does not prevent him from continuing to settle old scores. With the reputation of the Justice League and the reputation of his other identity, Superman, it is not the case that he wants to keep Luthor in jail. A difficult thing to do.
After torturing each other for several years, Clark was ready to forgive him, even if Lex Luthor almost killed him when he released the Doomsday on the spaceship.
Well, if he hadn't gone to the prison to interview this guy once as a reporter, Clark would have known that Superman (himself) who fought Zod also almost killed him.
Take Lex Luthor, who almost caused his mother to lose her son, and almost caused Lois to lose her good husband. This matter is not so easy to uncover.
And even if you have understood Lex Luthor's reasons for targeting him, but things have reached this point, the other party has also hurt you, and now you want to apologize to him, it is no longer possible, you can only... Just pull it and it's clear.
Originally, Clark thought and decided this way on his own, but Lex Luthor seemed to be distracted again. He actually held a press conference openly and challenged his other identity?
"Sure enough, this guy is his enemy, so we can't give him a chance to jump too much!"
Clark muttered, and decided to throw out some old black materials of the other company, and continue to send the other party to jail based on old scores.
Soon, it was the Daily Planet reporter's turn to ask questions at the press conference. Clark stood up as the invited reporter on behalf of the Daily Planet.
He was asking questions one after another about some issues regarding Luthor's counter-suing Superman for falsely accusing him.
"Is this the real world... SM?"
