General Lane walked into the observation room quickly, and Dr. Hamilton answered him very quickly: "Comets don't correct their course, General."
"Before some amateur stargazer sees it and causes panic, I want you to take a good look."
"I don't know why, but this ship seems to have sent itself into lunar synchronous orbit."
"Have you tried to get in touch with him?" General Lane asked.
"They haven't responded yet."
"But my personal guess is that whoever is operating the spacecraft must want to make a stunning landing."

……
Early morning.
Clark appeared on the hillside next to his farm, his blue tights reflecting his red cloak.
He raised his head and let the moonlight caress his handsome face, which was as sharp as an ancient Greek demigod.
He unfolded his biological stance, blocking all other people's perceptions. If someone looked from a distance at this moment, they would only see a blurry mosaic, suspended in the air about two feet above the ground like a mist. He floated to a tombstone.
It reads: "To Jonathan Kent, beloved husband and father."
Clark slowly landed on the ground, and then sat cross-legged on the grass like an ordinary Kansas boy.
The evening breeze blew the tall grass around him, creating waves like a tidal wave.
The moon is visible in the breeze, and the ocean tide is silent.
"Hey, Dad."
He smiled reluctantly at the tombstone, and then waved his hand, as if someone was really sitting there responding to him.
The young Superman is talking to the remaining shadow on the dust.
"I just came back from the North Pole, Dad. Our Daily Planet team just returned to the metropolis in the early morning, and I just put down my luggage."
"I'm sorry for coming here so late. You've always been more of an early to bed and early to rise type. But...I...I want to talk to you. I just want you to know."
Superman covered his face.
"I'm sad, Dad. I don't think I can do it."
"I know what you and mom expect, and I also understand your original intention, but I can't do it."
He didn't say what he couldn't do specifically, nor why he couldn't do it. He just repeated "can't do it" over and over again, venting his long-standing fear and pressure into a lonely grave. The god on earth was immersed in negative emotions and did not notice the fine black sand drifting from the hillside behind him.
Only in front of his father's grave, he just wanted to be an ordinary person.
Chen Tao carefully moved his body that was stuck to the ground like a big burrito.
Using satellites to locate Clark Kent, we finally found Superman's hometown in the countryside dotted throughout Kansas and in countless small towns with the same name. If it were discovered at this time, the success would be in vain.
He checked this place just now and found that it was no wonder Alfred had not been found. This was indeed the Kent Farm, but it was almost ten years ago.
With the death of Jonathan Kent, they transferred most of the land on the farm, retaining only a small area around the house.
Although it is still called Kent Farm, in the records of the city hall, the farm has changed to another name and is connected with another larger farm. It is impossible to find this place on the map.<
/p>
Chen Tao guessed that this must be the arrangement Jonathan Kent made for his funeral before his death.
This Kansas farmer hid his family in the vast farm complex of Kansas, and then used some method to make himself and his family’s residential address disappear from the census statistics. p>
More than ten years later, the father's deliberate plan for his son really worked, and Clark Kent was able to resist the first investigation of him by a time traveler named Chen Tao.
This may be a touching feat performed by a farmer who does not even have a college degree.
"...I have been lonely all my life. I have been lonely since I was a child because I don't know how to pretend to fit in with the group. No matter what I do, they can detect that I am different. I have no choice..."
Clark Kent said nonchalantly:
"...But now I have a choice. Now I know how to integrate into society and how to pretend to be an ordinary person. This is what I want and dream of..."
He looked at his tights in confusion, looked down at the S-shaped logo on his chest, and then continued:
"If my identity is exposed, if people see my abilities, I can only escape society forever..."
Behind him, Chen Tao was too careful not to breathe. Fortunately, he now loaded the Bat Monster Cart and synchronized the Broken Bat, so his whole body no longer needed to breathe——
This greatly enhances his sneaking ability, preventing him from being discovered by the Kryptonians with keen hearing at the beginning.
He tried his best to make the sound of his body rolling on the grass sound the same as the sound of fine dust being blown by the wind.
"...What's worse is that I will be forced to choose loneliness. I once had no ability to choose, but now I can. I should choose to be happy and enjoy life. Isn't this what you want? I hope I can be happy?
"But I just don't want you to think I've forgotten everything you taught me."
"I can do more to help people, whether publicly or not, I can treat diseases, expose corruption, and lend a helping hand to ordinary people in times of crisis."
"These things mean as much to me as they did back then. They mean as much to me as they mean to you. I won't let you down, Dad, I swear."
Superman turned to look behind him.
This action almost stopped Chen Tao's heart for half a second.
But he just looked at the glow on the horizon.
"It looks like the weather will be nice today. I wish you could see it too. I wish you were still here."
"I love you, Dad."
He whispered:
"I love you and miss you very much. Mom loves you too."
"Let's talk next time——"
Then the next second, the young Kryptonian heard a voice next to his ear.
"Earth needs your help, Clark."
The sound was very soft, but it sounded behind his ears like thunder.
Clark trembled. Who could approach him so quietly? Who could deceive his super senses?
Ever since he first awakened his ability in elementary school, no one has been able to sneak up behind him!
Superman's eyes glowed red for a moment, and then immediately dissipated under the influence of reason.
He slowly turned around and tried his best to turn the biological stance to the maximum.
"Who are you?"
Then he saw those pointed ears.
"You are Batman."
He asked and answered himself.
The wealthy man from Gotham, Bruce Wayne, left a deep impression on him. Louis always hoped to get some comments from him about Gotham City's vigilante Batman, and even Clark Kent and Clark Kent.
Batman, a superhero he had not paid much attention to before, knew everything about——
Wait.
It was like a bolt of lightning struck Clark Kent in the head.
"...I'm from Gotham, what, you ask Batman..."
"...One minute, Clark Kent was stumbling with milk marks on his mouth..."
"...Batman is awesome! Because I am..."
"...You are the spokesperson of contradiction, Clark..."
"Mr. Wayne? Why are you here?"
"...I came here to see the alien spacecraft..."
"Because I am Batman!"
Boom!
It was like some kind of electric current rushed from the soles of his feet to his brain, making Clark Kent's hair stand on end for a moment!
The expressions Bruce Wayne had shown that he ignored, or noticed but didn't care about, repeatedly appeared in his mind. He immediately used his clairvoyance eyes, but still couldn't see through the other person's mask.
"I guess you must be using clairvoyance now." He heard the man opposite who called himself Batman say as if there was a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his mouth: "Give up, I have studied you, your clairvoyance cannot penetrate
The inside of my mask is lined with a lot of lead."
Then Chen Tao continued: "Don't think about seeing through other places. The armor I'm wearing now is all blocked by lead. Although my butler sewed my name on the underwear, your clairvoyance eyes can't
See it."
"Okay, Mr. Bruce Wayne." Clark said, "What exactly do you want from me?"
Clark said: "Do you hesitate to expose your true identity for this?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Chen Tao slowly took off his helmet: "Really, since it's just a guess, don't be so sure, Clark."
Under the illumination of the morning light, he raised his face, and Clark Kent saw that familiar face.
His voice softened.
No matter who it is, if they give you more than $500,000 in a week, you will never be able to stand up to them in any situation.
Although he had made some guesses before, when the other party confirmed the guesses with his own hands, it was still hard for Clark to accept.
Chen Tao said: "It's okay if you guess right like this time, but if you guess wrong, wouldn't it be very shameful?"
"So, Clark Kent, as the basis of our mutual trust, should you also stop the veil of mystery on you?"
Clark stopped the biological stance on his face.
He heard the rich man in Gotham say to him: "Yes, that's right, my extraordinary friend. I hope you can help save the earth, Clark. Of course, I also thank you for the contributions you have made."
"What contributions have I made?" Clark felt that his mind was still a little confused, and he said, "What are you talking about?"
"I have entered your fortress in the North Pole before." Chen Tao told him: "As I told you and Louis before, I stole a lot of technology from alien planets."
Clark looked at this guy who was not shy about talking about stealing and said matter-of-factly:
"This is all necessary. Everything is for human beings. By the way, I can't understand some of the stolen things. Do you have an instruction manual for me to read?"
"It turns out that the reason why the projection on the spacecraft told me that there were so many parts missing was because of you... forget it." Clark opened his mouth and said a few words, and then quickly fell into speechlessness: "Just pretend I didn't say this. What you said -
—"
"I know. Are you asking me about saving the Earth? Oh, Clark, you don't think you are the last Son of Krypton, do you?"
Batman's words made him forget about being stolen for a moment, and his heart started beating loudly.
"Let me tell you a name, General Zod. You can ask your father... I'm talking about your biological father, the projection on the spaceship-"
……
More than 10 minutes later, Chen Tao was walking on the path leaving Kent Farm.
He stood still in front of a certain little bumpkin.
"Basso Carlo! Mudface? Get up quickly, stop being a little mound."
Chen Tao said: "Superman's biological mother has been found, as well as so many ordinary people in the towns around him. Superman may be very busy next and may not have time to pay attention to what is happening in his hometown."
"So it's time to get to work, it's time to repeat the old plan!"
The clay-faced man stood up from the ground with a grunt.
After sending away the clay-faced man who was wandering around like a pile of slime, Chen Tao called Poison Ivy: "Ivy, I want you to help me practice."
"About how to control metal creations like plants."
……
……
……
With a bang, Bain fell to the ground.
Ms. Siwa stepped on him and symbolically pulled out the tube inserted in his back.
"I, Bain... am nothing..."
"Stepping stone!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Before Bain finished speaking, a lot of foam came out of his mouth, his eyes rolled, and he lost consciousness: "Roar!"
But just halfway through his roar, Ms. Siwa stepped on his neck, causing him to stop breathing.
Siwa jumped off the opponent's body lightly and deftly: "Little Jason, I'm so disappointed. I originally thought I would face a fighting master who is proficient in martial arts, but you made me face a man with muscles all over his body.
A beast. It’s no challenge.”
Jason wiped the sweat from the top of his head. Although he was wearing a red hood at the moment, even if he stretched out his hand, he could only touch the smooth forehead of the hood.
"Bane abused venom too much. After being defeated by Batman, the pain on his body and the sequelae of venom greatly damaged his brain."
He explained:
"Even though we used water from the Lazarus Pool to heal his spine, we didn't eliminate the withdrawal reaction caused by the venom at all.
This withdrawal reaction combined with the bloodthirsty side effects of Lazarus Pool has completely destroyed Bain's brain. If we want to cure him, we have to——"
"In short, Bain is disabled now." But before Jason could finish his words, he saw Ms. Siwa raise her foot without hesitation, and then kicked the already unconscious Bain in the back of the neck, and followed by
With a crisp click, Bain fell softly to the ground and became motionless.
Jason felt his heart tremble.
Is he dead?
He wasn't sure and didn't want to confirm.
He is no longer the Robin who abides by the rule of not killing, but he is still not a killer like Siwa who kills people at every turn.
"You said Batman is in Metropolis? Jason? This is probably your last chance, let's go to Metropolis." He heard Ms. Siwa say without a doubt: "I've had enough of playing house for so long.
