On the fourth floor of the manor, which is where the guest room where Bruce and Selina live is located, in the dark corridor, Bruce is dragging Benjamin, who has not yet woken up, down the stairs, while Selina is in front of him to give him a break.
As the head of all the agents in the manor, Benjamin disappeared for most of the night, which has aroused the vigilance of all the agents. If it weren't for the fact that Benjamin often performed some secret tasks alone without notifying his subordinates, the other agents were well aware of his
With this style of work, the agents must have started searching the entire manor long ago.
However, this gave Bruce the opportunity to question Benjamin. He and Selina moved Benjamin to a utility room on the third floor. When Bruce dragged him in, Selina stood outside the door, holding the door with one hand.
, said to him: "You'd better hurry up."
As she said that, she looked at the window at the other end of the corridor. There were faint lights flashing there, and it looked like someone was walking by with a flashlight. Selena turned to Bruce and said: "The explosion in the reception room before.
If it's too big, they'll definitely start looking there."
As she said that, she looked down at her watch again and said: "It will take 6 to 7 minutes to get back to our bedroom from the reception room. Even if they need to search, they will delay the time, and they will find this place in 20 minutes at the latest."
Come."
Selina's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she said: "Forget it, I'll go over there and make some noise to help you delay a little time. You'd better get it done quickly."
With that said, she turned around and left. Bruce closed the door of the utility room and began to try to wake Benjamin up.
The two of them didn't have the loving and tender scenes in some movies before the couple split up, because Bruce knew very well that with Selena's skills, even if she couldn't fight, she would definitely be able to escape.
On the other side, Lex had just walked out of Schiller's guest room. The professor made it clear that he just wanted to sleep now, so what else could Lex say? I could only wish him a sweet dream.
At this time, he was walking upstairs, planning to find Clark.
He had noticed Clark's various anomalies before. It was impossible to say that he was not curious. He could see that Bruce also wanted to find out who Clark was. He wanted to solve this problem before Bruce.
To prove that he is stronger.
When there was a knock on the door, Clark was still a little dazed. He only slept for a short while and his mind was still a little unclear. However, the sleepiness soon disappeared, and what followed was a long-lost relaxation.
Because he was in a good mood, Clark didn't care about Lex's interruption. After he opened the door, he let Lex walk in, moved a chair for Lex, and then said: "Hello, I have introduced myself before.
Now it's your turn."
Lex snorted coldly and said, "I don't need to talk to you to know that the two of us will definitely not be able to talk, you silly rural redneck..."
"How can you say that? Fortunately, you are not a student at Metropolitan University. If you were in school, they would have expelled you for the personal attack."
"You are a student at Metropolitan University. What major do you major in?" Lex quickly began to check the household registration...
He felt that Clark had a very strange temperament, which he had never felt in anyone else before, a kind of compassionate deity.
This temperament made him feel very strange, because he felt that he was even the object of compassion.
It's really ridiculous, Laike thought, since when did he need sympathy from others? Not to mention, the person who sympathizes with him is a fool who doesn't understand anything at first glance.
However, this feeling surrounded him, making him feel like a light on his back. A vague anger rose up, making his face look bad.
Clark also noticed Lex's weirdness. He spread his hands and said, "We should be about the same age. Which university are you from? Or are you still in high school?"
This sentence just hit Lex's heart. Bruce had mentioned some of his experiences at Gotham University before, and now Clark came to tell him about Metropolitan University. He co-authored these three
Among individuals, he is the only one who has never gone to college.
Lex felt that he shouldn't have any emotional fluctuations because of this reason, but whenever he thought that Bruce and Clark might get along better, he had a strange feeling.
On the one hand, he felt that Bruce, who was as smart as him, could get along better with this idiot. On the other hand, he felt that it would be embarrassing if he had the upper hand but fell behind.
Already.
Clark can feel people's pulse and heartbeat. He can judge someone's mood through a lot of information he can feel. What makes him feel a little confused is that Lex's mood swings are quite severe. Clark doesn't understand.
why is that.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Did you have a fight with your friend? Is it the guy with black hair from before?"
Lex took a deep breath. He didn't understand why Clark's questions were so to the point. He said to Clark with a sullen face: "Who are you? How did you get here?"
"Didn't I explain everything?" Clark said helplessly.
"Who do you expect to be fooled by your stupid lies? Let me not mention the distance between the Metropolitan University and the mayor's mansion, nor the heavy snowstorm falling outside and the thickness of the snow on the road. Let's ignore that.
The fire truck water tank mysteriously appeared in the flower bed downstairs..."
"Clark, has anyone ever told you how obviously your expression changes when you feel my mood swings?"
Clark's movements stiffened. He instinctively reached out and touched his cheek. He wanted to explain, but he really couldn't think of a good reason. After a long time, he sighed and said:
"It's really strange. Everyone I meet today can see my abnormality, more than I have met in the past few years."
Lex snorted, and then said: "Do you think they can't see it? If you don't believe it, you can talk to them about this issue in a serious tone, and I'm sure they will be terribly embarrassed."
Clark scratched his head, as if he didn't want to imagine this scenario. He shrugged and said, "So what? Our relationship is pretty good."...
"But believe it or not, if you really fly in front of them, or suddenly lift your car, their first reaction will be to be afraid, and they may even attack you."
Lex stood up from his chair and began to pace around the room. Clark put his hands on his hips and said, "No way, my friends and family won't be afraid of me just because I'm different from others.
"
"Besides, it's the same even for strangers. If I use this ability to help others, how can they be afraid of me?"
Lex stopped and turned his head to look at Clark. There was a coldness in his eyes that Clark couldn't understand. He said: "We can make a bet. Once you publicly reveal your abilities that are far beyond ordinary people, you will become
The enemy of the world."
"I won't." Clark denied it very firmly. He said, "Although I don't want to be a savior, I have never wanted to rule the world."
"From the time I started to awaken my ability, until now, I have never used this ability to do any bad things, nor have I subjectively used this ability to benefit myself. On the contrary, I have helped many people..."
Lex shook his head and said in a cold tone: "Unsupervised superpowers are poison to human society, and it is also poison to you. You will be poisoned to death sooner or later."
Clark completely disagreed with his idea. He shook his head and said, "It seems that you are a pessimist, but you and I are just the opposite."
"My parents often tell me that although sometimes being defensive about people may make you safer, if you don't open your mind to accept the world, then the world will never accept you."
Lex looked at Clark's face. He was about to laugh at his naivety, but when he saw the serious and determined expression on Clark's face, he was suddenly speechless.
Clark's eyes have always been very clear. From his eyes all the way to the end, you can't even find any impurities. Looking into his eyes, you can clearly see what he is thinking.
Lex had never seen such a person before. In the two years since he regained his consciousness, all the humans he had seen had chaotic secrets and desires in their eyes.
Two years ago, Rex woke up, but in order to wait for a chance to kill Lionel, he has not been exposed. In the past two years, he has seen him see too much, and he smiled at him.
He was holding his head and saying some sympathetic words, but the gloating emotion in his eyes could not be hidden.
Behind Lex's arrogance about his own wisdom, there is indeed a pessimism about human nature. In other words, for people like him and Bruce, wisdom is their gift and also a curse. Skepticism will accompany them in life.
all stages of.
But now, Lex suddenly discovered that he was not completely ridiculing and despising Clark, a seemingly naive and hopeless fool.
He originally thought that he could really trick Clark into telling him all the information about him, and then use his IQ advantage to show his superiority. But now, he is trapped in a serious relationship with Clark.
During the debate, wisdom did not give him an advantage in this regard.…
"What are you here for?" Clark looked at Rexner's changing expressions and felt very confused. He felt that Rexner seemed to have no purpose at all. After he came in and asked him a few words, he sat in silence.
Over there.
"I just, forget it... I just wanted to confirm whether you are any danger to Metropolis. This is my territory. You'd better not cause trouble to me or yourself..."
Just after saying this, Lex fell silent again, because he realized that he was really like the kind of unlearned gangster in junior high school who threatened children younger than himself not to cause trouble.
He put his elbows on the table and covered his forehead. He found that since entering this room, he had become a little abnormal. Clark couldn't understand the details he was thinking about, but Clark could feel his emotions.
He had no words to respond to those emotions.
"It seems that you are not a student at Metropolitan University." Clark looked at Lex. Now Lex is still relatively thin and has a childish face. He looks younger than Clark. Clark thinks he may still be older.
When he was in high school, he asked:
"You should be going to college soon, right? Which university do you plan to go to?"
Before Lex could answer, Clark said to himself: "Actually, I think Metropolitan University is very good. Although it is not ranked as high as other universities on the east coast, the campus facilities and community atmosphere are good."
Lex made a soft "cut" sound, as if he wanted to discuss the higher-ranked schools, but just when they were about to chat, several gunshots "bang, bang, bang" came from downstairs.
Come on, followed by a "boom" explosion.
Lex was almost knocked off his chair, but Clark was already at the door. He opened the door, walked to the stairs, looked down, and saw Selena running up in a hurry, followed by a series of people.
