Chapter 65
There are still 6 years until the restart.
Going against the clock and not hearing the joys and sorrows of the world, it ticks day after day.
In this year, the Rebels lost the Ravens.
Sasha had already informed Batman of Raven's departure;
But she is the only one of the Rebels who is helpless.
Raven, the mage of the Injustice League, was originally the daughter of the super-dimensional demon—San Gong.
As early as 5 years ago, her body had been gradually occupied by her father, and her thoughts gradually moved closer to the devil side.
On the magical side of Batman, Zatanna had died in battle three years ago, and Constantine, who was deceived and abducted, has long since disappeared.
They could only use the magic circuit left by Zatana to control the raven, but they couldn't completely free her.
Sangong, who now has half of her soul in her body, finds that her puppet is in custody, and the world happens to be in turmoil and chaos, and no one is in power at all;
So he planned to release the demon through the raven's body and take the opportunity to rule the world.
Raven's last remaining consciousness, in order to resist the invasion of Sangong, asked the rebels to end their lives as soon as possible before Sangong appeared.
She was originally a quiet person, and she spoke for the first time in several years:
"Please."
Finally he said, "Thank you."
Raven's pure white soul rose from the ashes.
She freely disappeared into the sky.
……
Tick tock.
There are still 5 years until the restart.
Batman and the Queen of the Amazons, completed the transfer of Wonder Woman.
Amazon Island came out to find people, transferred Wonder Woman to Paradise Island, and assured the Rebels that she would never leave the island.
……
Tick tock.
There are still 4 years until the restart.
Steel Gu sat silently in prison for several years, but his attitude towards reform was very good.
So he got permission to mount an X-box on his left shoulder.
Ye Yi always remembered him, and ran over to add a chicken leg to him.
Steel Bone: "...Boss, you know I'm a half-human, half-mechanical cyborg, right?"
Nightwing said immediately, "Oh, I'm sorry. I should have brought you the oil."
Steel Bone politely refused: "I don't eat engine oil either, thank you."
They are about the same age, and they used to form the Teen Titans - a team of teenage superheroes - before Nightwing was Robin and Cyborg joined the Zhenglian.
Most of the time, Dick Grayson will always take on the leading role of the Teen Titans.
Ye Yi sat next to him, chatting with him about the past of the Teen Titans.
At that time, the young Raven was also in this team, with an indifferent face every day, following his partner to release AOE skills.
At that time, they were really a group of teenagers, with rebellious spirit and chicken feathers flying together;
If it's really uncertain, the big patriarchs of the Justice League will wipe their butts.
They had a pretty good chat.
But while chatting, Steel Bones suddenly lowered his head and wiped away some tears from the corners of his eyes.
Ye Yi said, "I thought biochemicals didn't have tears."
Cyborg: "This is motor oil, okay."
Ye Yi: "You also said that you don't eat engine oil."
……
Tick tock.
There are still 3 years until the restart.
This year, Superman died in prison.
With a bang, Batman pushed open the door of the laboratory.
He asked, "Who gave him the kryptonite needle?"
Luther said, "I gave it."
Bat: "As a friend or as an enemy?"
Luther said, "As a friend."
He put down the research plan in his hand, and looked up at the murderous dark knight.
Batman repeated: "As a friend?"
Luther said slowly: "As a friend."
What Luthor put in the Red Sun cell was a small needle with the residue of concentrated kryptonite liquid.
Clark begged him countless times, No. 14 times, and he finally relented.
Clark smiled.
Many years have passed.When he laughed, he finally changed back to that look.
Like a bucket of warm sun, dumped on the ice.
He said, "Thank you, Lex."
Luther: "You're welcome."
Goodbye, he thought, my sworn enemy, my friend.
This is the last thing I can do for you.
Batman goes to clean out the Red Sun Prison.
He found a letter.
It read, To my best friend, Bruce.
"...I can't describe my sin and regret. Please take this sinner's body and give an explanation to the betrayed people.
"I should have made this decision earlier, but I still hate him. Please forgive my selfishness."
"The moment I used to protect the earth with you and everyone, no matter when I was, it was a good time."
"I really hope to see you again in the next life."
Next to Superman's pillow, there is an old-fashioned video camera.
Because it's always been overused, it looks old and has a polished finish where it's held.
Batman picked it up, opened it and looked.
There is nothing in it.File memory is empty.
The Dark Knight walks out of prison with the letter.
He went to retrieve the surveillance video of the prison, enlarged the screen, and adjusted the pixels.
In the palm of the god on earth, something was once held.
It was a beautiful stone, an unbelievably blue color, much like Superman's eyes.
And the camera placed by the pillow originally had a picture.
The blond-haired and fair-skinned little prince was in the picture, blinking his green eyes and smiling at everyone.
Sasha: "Are you ready? Show me~"
The man said outside the camera: "Smile again~"
The little golden retriever grinned foolishly at the camera again.
Those two soft dimples can make people faint.
Sasha: "Are you ready?"
Clark: "Wait a minute..."
Sasha lost his temper and went to throw a pillow at Clark.They fought and fought, and finally the little prince took his petal-like lips and kissed the camera.
Clark keeps this camera next to his pillow.
In this way, no matter when, even if he woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, he would find Sasha looking at him with a smile.
In this year, Batman finally found out.
Sasha has a key piece of information that he hasn't told him.
The traces of Sasha's existence in this world are being erased bit by bit.
The erasure started with the base refugees who had the least contact with Sasha.
Until later, more rebel soldiers began to forget the existence of Sasha.
The ward where Sasha lived was covered with dust, and the little flowers on the bedside table withered.
After Sasha's death, the heroes he had contacted rarely contacted the rebel base.
They parted ways and traveled all over the world, as if they wanted to avoid recalling something.
In the base camp of the rebel army, only Luther remained behind.
Batman goes to him.
He took off his gloves, revealing his strong, scarred forearm.
There is a name engraved on it.
He asked Luthor directly: "Do you remember him?"
Luther looked at the newly engraved bloody letter, which was five letters of the English alphabet and read "Sasha".
He was visibly dazed for a moment.
Showing a certain expression of forcefully pulling out a rope in his mind.
Then he replied: "Of course I remember, isn't it the blond idiot who is especially good at acting."
Luther looked at the line of blood, and his teeth ached:
"...No need. I know that guy Sasha... well, damn it, I admit that Sasha is a great hero. But wouldn't it be better on a stone tablet?"
Batman didn't speak.
He wiped away the bloodstain with the other palm, and after a few tens of seconds, he wiped it again.
And with an interval of less than 1 minute, the name has already begun to fade to the naked eye. It is obviously not the healing speed of an ordinary human - especially on this ordinary human arm, there are old wounds of various sizes.
Luther's mind turned quickly, and a blank piece of paper was pulled from the side.
Batman: "I've tried it. The information recorded by the computer will disappear completely within 1 day. For all carriers such as paper, slate, and wood, the information disappears within 3 days. The healing speed of the surface tissue of the human body is obviously more affected by the laws of nature. Constraints, so the disappearance time is 6-7 days. "
Luther fell silent.
He just slowly clenched his back molars, and turned back to his research on the hidden world.
"...you remember to come and talk to me about him every day."
Before Batman left, I heard him say.
……
Tick tock.
There are still 2 years until the restart.
According to Superman's last wish, the rebels showed his body to the people.
But he was not wrapped in a straw mat, but placed in a black coffin.
A flag with a huge "S" on it was placed over the coffin.
The rebels initially thought that the enraged people would spit and throw filth on the coffins, as they had always claimed to do.
The leader of the rebel army sent more manpower, including a group of heroes who came on their own initiative, to firmly guard the surroundings of the coffin.
But that didn't happen.
The crowd who were once filled with righteous indignation still held the flags and weapons used in the parade in their hands, but their expressions looked dazed.
It rained a lot that day.
The greatest sinner identified by human beings, and the greatest patron saint of the earth, is sleeping forever in the silent silence of tens of billions of people.
……
Tick tock.
The last half year before the restart.
It was indeed something unprecedented in human history.
Everyone sat down, waiting for the moment when the pointer returned to zero.People looked up at the huge clock on the horizon, as if they were waiting for an unknown trial.
They say goodbye to everyone.
Even if there are strangers around, they hug like brothers and sisters.
People agree that no matter if the pointer returns to zero, whether it is life or death, or the destruction of the universe; as long as there is still possibility, they will go to meet each other.
Only the Dark Knight stood silently.
He stood in the crowd, staring down at everyone's back.
Like a statue of a knight standing here forever.
The counterclockwise sounded the last tick.
At this moment, the whole world fell into dead silence.
Even the wind and birdsong stopped.
The high rolling waves freeze in the air.
——Then, the hands on the clock began to spin crazily.
The day's drizzle stopped.
The streets are filled with the damp atmosphere after the rain, and the flowers and plants have soaked up the rainwater, lazily stretching their branches and leaves.
The setting sun is like orange smoke, enveloped gently.
Everyone's shadow is stretched long.
A bus pulls into the platform.
The social animals who finished their day's work got out of the car tiredly.
Someone is jogging and listening to the news on headphones.
"...the site of the Great War in New York, which ended a month ago, still has a large number of alien wreckage and weapons...the wreckage may carry alien viruses. Before the cleaning work is completed, citizens are requested not to approach the blocked area of Manhattan... "
The jogger turns the corner newsstand and soon disappears.
The newsstand owner was leaning against the booth, chatting up a pretty girl, "It's really popular to form an alliance these days—do you think they will have an Avengers Hall?"
The girl ignored him.
He took the Daily Planet and stuffed it into the small purse.
Half of the newspaper was exposed, and the upper left corner was marked "Published on June 2012, 6";
Today's headline is "The Hall of Justice Is Listed in the Top [-] Sacred Places for Checking in on INS, Spokesman Bob Says: Please Do Not Eat, Drink, and Lazard in the Hall of Justice."
The newspaper was only half-stuffed when the girl saw a man opposite, smashing the window of the jewelry store with a mallet.
With a sweep of his arm on the booth, he flung his legs away and ran away.
The girl froze.
Girl: "...is he serious?"
The boss remained calm and took out his mobile phone to call the police: "Damn, a foreigner."
The robber ran all the way and shouted: "Get out of the way! I have a gun!"
Before he could utter a second sentence, he was tripped over by a passerby stretching out his leg, and rolled out of the way.
Robber: "...wnm... I told you I have a gun...!"
The robber had no chance to draw his gun, and was knocked down by the plainclothes police on the spot.
The plainclothes policeman handcuffed him, and said with emotion: "Is it a foreigner? I haven't seen such a simple way of robbery for a long time."
The robber twisted and twisted: "%@#!"
Plainclothes policeman: "Believe me, you are lucky if I catch you. At least for the rest of your life, you won't be afraid of heights, and you won't be ashamed of peeing your pants in the sky."
After the small episode, the street was busy and calm again.
A teenager on a skateboard, his bones rolling, slid past the girl who was buying newspapers.
When he got to the traffic light, he flipped up the skateboard and looked at his watch.
5:28 p.m.
After the calf, I'm going to be late for the appointment.
The skateboard boy looked around, there was no car, and he was about to run a red light.
...I saw a red and blue figure in the tall buildings that went straight into the sky, hitting the ground like a falling meteor!
At this time, it was the rush hour, and the piercing braking and steering sounds suddenly resounded through the sky.
The crowd was chaotic but skillfully evacuated to both sides of the road.
"Evacuate! Evacuate! Dachao is pulling monsters again!"
With a little coaxing, the dense crowd just now ran away.
Superman has clearly exhausted all his strength to control the direction.
Instead of smashing into the crowd, he fell straight into the gap in the middle of the road.
"boom--"
Smoke and dust billowed all the way, forming a long and deep gully.
But people waited and waited, but they didn't see any monsters chasing them from the sky.
When the dust and smoke on the road cleared, they saw that at the end of the waist-deep ravine, Superman seemed to be trying to claw the edge, trying to get up.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with him?"
Everyone is asking.
Those who are brave enough to run out to look around, make sure there is no danger in the sky, then use both hands and feet to climb into the gully that fell out.
With the leader, the crowd slowly gathered around.
"...are you alright, Superman?"
Numerous pairs of arms carefully stretched out from the edge of the pit, trying to support their patron saint.
"What happened?"
"What's in the sky? Is it a difficult enemy?"
"Are you hurt?"
Everyone asked chirping.
But they found that Superman's expression seemed to be more perplexed than them.
Those incredibly blue eyes looked at every face extremely slowly.
Then slowly look at the arms stretched out to him.
Finally, look at the towering high-rise buildings with a strong sense of cold technology on both sides.
"——"
His lips were moving.
The circle closest to him heard it.
He was murmuring a word—
"Metropolis".
He clutched at the edge of the ravine, trying to get up again.
Repeated again urgently, "—Metropolis."
But he was only halfway up.
Everyone saw that Superman grabbed his heart tightly, and the pain was so painful that his whole body began to convulse.
A waterfall of sweat dripped down the perfect chin of the god on earth.
As everyone in the Metropolis knows, Superman doesn't sweat.
But they don't know.
In the last second when he came here, he had injected a tube full of kryptonite concentrate directly into his heart.
Generally speaking, a small amount of kryptonite radiation will cause ten-level pain to a Kryptonian equivalent to human beings and eliminate his superpowers.
The severe pain before the tragic death was almost firmly imprinted into the Kryptonian's soul and every cell that had been killed in the body.
"Supes, are you hurt?"
Detective Renault, who had a good relationship with Superman, jumped down without saying a word, and helped him up with all his strength.
"Come on, I'll drive you to the Hall of Justice."
"……Do not."
Superman finally managed to stand upright.
Standing upright, his sculptural physique immediately distinguished him from the crowd around him.
"I have..." He closed his eyes tightly, his forehead was still dripping with sweat, but his voice returned to the warmth and calm familiar to the people of the metropolis, "...a place that must be visited."
