"Oh my God."
Lucius said:
"Have you become the God of AI?"
"of course not."
Chen Tao told him: "It seems that I can control the equipment in front of you so easily now, just because this is the Batcave, and everything here belongs to Batman.
"Firewalls don't exist for me. I have security keys. In fact, my computing power is not that strong -"
He paused, then continued:
"Unless I use nanorobots to physically invade, or combine it with Kryptonian technology-"
…
…
…
"Hey, Clark, why is billionaire Bruce Wayne so sexually interested in you but so dismissive of our sexy, hot Pulitzer Prize-winning female reporter who is courting us?"
Sports reporter Steve Lombard stuck his head out the window and saw the extended version of Lincoln, the famous Gotham City tycoon, once again parked at the gate of the Daily Planet.
"If you have time, Lombard,"
Lois Lane was sorting out the files on his desk with a calm and indifferent look:
"I suggest you go back to your office, eat your donuts, and then lie down on the recliner and take a long nap instead of making noises here and disturbing my work. Bruce Wayne runs to the Daily Planet every day, Haven’t you seen enough excitement?”
"Hahaha, why don't you rush up and try to interview the other party? Let me calculate what you have interviewed these days."
Sports reporter Steve Lombard threw the donut into his mouth with his muscular arms. He picked up a piece of waste paper next to him, pretended to cough, and began to pretend that he was reading the interview transcript:
"Day 1, Q: What does Mr. Bruce Wayne think of Gotham's vigilante Batman? Answer: Batman is great, because I am Batman!"
"On the second day, I asked: Did Mr. Wayne come to Metropolis to cooperate with Lex Technology? Answer: Yes! So he asked: What is the specific content of the cooperation? Answer: I don't know, the idea of cooperating with Lex Technology is I produced it in the last second.”
"Pfft -" the sports reporter covered his mouth, and then continued to read seriously: "Q: Why are you teasing me like this? A: Because I am Batman!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The muscular man made a burst of laughter: "On the third day..."
"enough!"
The smart and capable female reporter grabbed the coffee next to her with trembling hands and poured it all into her mouth
She turned her head and said to Clark Kent next to her: "Clark, don't worry about stupid billionaires. We are leaving for the North Pole tomorrow. We must not let those bastards in the US Northern Command cover up the truth!"
The female reporter said: "This is the meaningful thing, what a journalist should do."
"That huge unknown object found under the ice?"
Without Clark's permission, Lombard took the document in Clark's hand and took a look at it. Then he threw the thing back to the busy farm boy and said, "Is there anything worth discovering in this? It can't be an oversized foreign object." Starship!”
Lewis rolled his eyes and was so angry that he didn’t want to pay attention to the other party.
"Hey Clark!"
Someone called Clark from outside: "Can you help me? They have replaced us with a brand new coffee machine, but this thing is too heavy!"
"Oh, okay." Clark hurriedly walked out of the room.
"As soon as they plug that machine in, give me two cups of coffee," Editor-in-Chief White walked into the room at this moment. He said to Clark, "Put two pieces of candy!"
Next to him was Cat Grant, the column editor in charge of the entertainment gossip section.
The other party was wearing a V-neck and low-cut dress, and said hello to Louis coquettishly.
Editor-in-Chief White turned to Lewis again and said:
"Louis, give me that photo from yesterday! Yes, that's the close-up of Superman standing there with his hands crossed!"
“I’m going to put that one together with Kate’s The Most Powerful Bachelor in Metropolis!”
"Bachelor? Are you serious? Editor-in-chief, you must be crazy——"
"Louis!"
Louis turned her head suddenly and saw the person appearing behind her.
"It seems you received the flowers I sent."
Editor-in-Chief White looked at the two of them left and right, his eyes lingering on each other's epaulettes.
He said:
"I'll see you later, Louis."
Lois Lane was in no mood to talk to Chief Editor White at the moment.
Her expression darkened: "John Cobain. It's you again."
"Why were the flowers thrown in the trash?"
John Cobain was a strong man 1.96 meters tall, wearing a military uniform.
"I don't have room to put it on my desk. And I'm telling you, don't give me any more flowers. I told you 4 times."
John Cobain looked at her steadily, and then suddenly smiled.
Louis walked around him and walked to his own table to get something.
"Okay, okay, let's not worry about the flowers. We haven't seen each other for so long and you don't hug me to say hello? Louis, I know we have broken up, but -"
"Enough!" Lewis turned his head sharply and stretched out a finger.
"It wasn't really a breakup, John. We only dated once, once! We were just acquaintances, no more than my relationship with my father."
"But your father is right. We are a perfect match together, Louis. Start a family and have some kids. Maybe that will clear your mind of all those crazy thoughts, or at least alleviate your ridiculous rhetoric about spreading the truth - —One reporter can’t change the world.”
Chen Tao silently observed the quarrel between the two in secret.
He quietly took out a small book, opened it, and took a look at it.
John Cobain. The future Metal Man, a villain with a metal body and a kryptonite heart, is one of Superman's main opponents.
"I'm busy, John—"
"Don't give me a hard time."
Their brawl card seems to have escalated a bit.
"John, you pinched me--"
Chen Tao shook his head, stuffed the small notebook back into his pocket, and stepped forward: "I hope I didn't disturb you."
John Cobain turned to look at the person in front of him. He looked up and down at Chen Tao's exaggerated outfit.
"Who did you fuck?"
He then looked at Alfred, who was standing silently behind Chen Tao: "What is this?"
Chen Tao stretched out his hand:
"Bruce Wayne. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cobain."
People stopped what they were doing and whispered to each other. This was the first time that they saw Mr. Bruce Wayne not using money to clear the way.
John Cobain noticed the whispers around him.
Bruce Wayne. He felt that the name was familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard it.
In fact, for the past six months, he has spent almost entirely at the military base, rarely using a cell phone or other device to communicate with the outside world.
"It's Sergeant Cobain." He suppressed the displeasure in his heart, then reached out and pinched the other person's palm, exerting a slight force——
He thought that soon he would be able to see the other person screaming in pain.
But there was no reaction. He only felt that he had pinched a piece of the car's rubber tire.
"Sergeant Cobain, right?"
Then he heard the other person say: "That's what I call you. Let's get right to the point -"
"If you dare to make me uncomfortable again, I will make it impossible for you to feel comfortable for the rest of your life."
John Cobain froze. Before he wanted to get angry, he heard the other person say faster: "I am Bruce Wayne."
The other person added a little emphasis to the last name "Wayne," and then John Cobain finally realized what he was dealing with.
"You..." He took two steps back, his lips moved twice, but in the end he said nothing.
coward.
Chen Tao thought silently.
He only dares to be arrogant to those who are weaker than himself. When faced with a more powerful person, he immediately becomes intimidated and does not even dare to say a harsh word.
Such obvious character weaknesses have always been the hallmark of DC villains.
He saw the other party slowly retreating and said to Lois Lane: "I will say hello to your father on your behalf." Then he turned his head and saw Clark Kent standing behind him.
"Hello, Mr. Cobain." Clark Kent stretched out his hand and squeezed John Cobain's palm before he could react: "Nice to meet..."
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a crunching sound, and John let out a cry of pain, then covered his hands and tried to leave Chen Tao's sight without saying a word.
"Don't be so anxious, Mr. Cobain." Chen Tao stopped the other party: "Are you going to attend the small gathering of Mr. Luther and General Lane?"
Chen Tao got a positive answer.
So soon, John Cobain disappeared at the door of Daily Planet, and Chen Tao himself disappeared with him. Lewis and Clark looked at each other.
"He didn't rush up to you today to persuade you to continue your career. How about becoming a movie star and playing Man of Steel?" Lewis said.
"This is not a good thing." Clark scratched his head and said, "Can I treat you to lunch at noon, Louis?"
"Okay." Louis took his arm: "Accept the invitation, farm boy."
…
…
…
In a military base on the outskirts of the metropolis.
"So, didn't you say it was two pieces of kryptonite before?"
Lex Luthor said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Watch your attitude, Lex," General Sam Lane said.
Then his tone became slightly duller: "I don't know who bought the other small piece."
"Bought it?" Luther almost laughed angrily at this excuse: "Who else can actually bribe you?"
"No, he bribed the agent responsible for acquiring kryptonite."
"He was gone before we found out he was being bribed," General Lane said.
Luther sighed heavily in front of General Lane, as if he was really distressed.
If this incident was not caused by him.
That's right, no matter where the stolen kryptonite is, Luthor firmly believes that it will eventually find its way to Batman.
Ever since his men in Gotham helped him find out "Batman left Gotham to go to Metropolis to do business, and now Gotham is protected by the Arkham Alliance." After this incident, he planned a counterattack in his mind. Batman’s plan to exploit——”
"Luthor, Luther! Are you listening to me?"
Luther said, "I'm here."
"Can you stop Superman?" General Lane then heard Luthor say: "More than just stop, General Lane, I believe I can kill him - if necessary."
"Each of our series of reports indicate that it not only possesses a range of superhuman abilities, but is also invulnerable."
General Lane said: "How can you be sure that this energy source - this stone can do what you said?"
"Not a super human, but a super alien, General."
Luther corrected him, then said, "I have experimented with kryptonite during the time when you were not allowed to enter the United States."
"I tried to get a little kryptonite sample, and then used some fine kryptonite powder to place it next to Superman. When he passed by, he was illuminated by the radiation, and the isotopes in his body..." Then Luther Suddenly realizing that no one present could understand what he was saying, he stopped talking.
"In short, according to the absolute authority in the field of science, which is what I judge, his superpowers come from our world and can be suppressed or even turned against him if he is affected by these radiations."
He looked at a set of exoskeleton armor being assembled on the high platform in front of him:
"This is the largest piece of kryptonite we have ever discovered. It is enough to become a dangerous enough kryptonite reactor, making this armor a deadly killer."
"We're going to be able to use it to kill Superman! Of course, we're going to have to find someone to manipulate him," Luthor said.
"Sir General Lane, it will be my honor to pilot Metal Man."
As soon as Luthor finished speaking, John Cobain immediately said: "I will use it to remove Superman's head."
"There is no one more worthy of my trust than you, child." General Lane said:
"But we prioritize capture."
"Don't kill Superman unless you have to. Judging from the current situation, Superman is still on our side."
"From the current situation? Man, come on." Luther said, "Let's tell a little story."
"Once upon a time there was a little boy named Superman who found an ant nest called the Earth at his door."
"The little boy liked this nest of ants very much, so he took good care of him with all his heart."
"But if one day, the little boy suddenly feels bored..."
Luther said:
"We have to plan ahead."
"Yes, I do have to plan ahead."
"Indeed, we want-"
Then Luther suddenly realized that the voice was not his or anyone present.
"Who are you?"
With a look from General Lane, the soldiers immediately protected them in the middle.
"How did you sneak into this military base?"
"How did you sneak into the military base? Let me tell you a story - no, it should be said to be a joke."
Then they heard the voice say: "Once upon a time there was a sheepfold called Earth, filled with lambs and guarded only by a sheepdog."
"Suddenly one day, a group of jackals came outside the sheepfold. They were all ready to feast. The sheep in the sheepfold were still debating whether to kill the only sheepdog."
"Do you think this is funny?"
No one could laugh.
"Where are you? A hidden guy?"
General Lane was protected in the center by a large number of American soldiers. He roared in a low voice: "Come out if you can! Who are you?"
While he was pretending to be excited and yelling, inducing the other party to talk to him, he quickly made a few tactical gestures and tried to leave the room under the heavy protection of the soldiers.
Then he felt someone blowing on the back of his neck.
"Who am I, you ask?"
"I am a mortal, just like you, an ordinary human being, a pure lamb."
"But I wouldn't be stupid enough to try and murder a sheepdog."
"I'm Batman, and I'm here to stop your stupid behavior."
