"...Recently, Lex Luthor presided over the rebuilding of the building. He was also the first person to rush to the scene after the Great War that day and presided over the rescue work. When asked what he thought about Superman, he The following responses were made."
On the big screen, Lex approached the car surrounded by bodyguards, and turned a deaf ear to the reporters' inquiries, but for some reason, he stopped suddenly.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at the space around him, but this tiny movement didn't attract anyone's attention, only Moxi bit his lip if he felt it, and lowered his head hastily.
"I have to admit that I've been jumping to conclusions about him, and while I've never thought my skepticism was at all wrong, Superman's actions in Metropolis have taken a huge toll," he said. Aliens, I always keep that in mind."
"While his existence may have said something, perhaps he had a very noble heart, and his death put an end to all these doubts, and, I have to say, he put me in an embarrassing situation. "
"So Mr. Luthor," an unknown reporter asked loudly, with an aggrieved tone, "you still think that Superman has something wrong with Earth?"
"I never said that." Lex.Luther denied the statement without hesitation.
The person in front of the TV let out a sneer full of sarcasm, raised his head and drank the beer in his hand in one gulp.
He threw the empty can on the ground casually, and the beer can rolled a few times, knocking down the mountain of empty wine cans that was built into a hill on one side.
The beer cans fell to the ground with a clatter, and a clumsy robotic arm panicked. After hesitantly turning around the beer cans a few times, it clumsily collected them one by one.
"I've learned a lot from this tragedy, and I think everyone has," Lex said, looking sadly at the camera. "Everyone is paying attention to what Superman and his friends have done, but very few people have seen it." To ordinary people who are busy. I am not belittling Superman, or denying his efforts, but what I see is that more ordinary people are hidden under his brilliance."
Nobody denies Lex.Luthor's efforts for the city.
It was he who ran on the front line of rescue after the incident, and he used his wealth and contacts to promote the restoration work that should have been initiated through cumbersome documents.
It was he who sympathized with the wounded and stopped all work in the laboratory to devote himself to the development of highly intelligent prosthetics to help the disabled wounded in the disaster regain their confidence.
It is also he who is running around among politicians, trying to ease the stiff relationship between the upper class and superheroes.
"If there's one thing I want people to learn from this disaster that has befallen our world, it's that even with aliens, Amazons and Atlanteans in the world - an ordinary person can still change the world. Police, firefighters Military personnel and soldiers risk their lives every day to save others. They don't have super speed or magic rings to help. I just walk with them in humility.*”
"As for Superman?" he said, "I retrace the steps of Superman, longing to see a symbol. I think I'll see a great man who is unwavering, convinced that he can lead all mankind to the light, but I see The Superman that I got, whoever he really was, was always stumbling around by trial and error.*”
The person in front of the TV listened engrossed, the newly opened beer can was pinched in his hand where it was in contact with his palm, it had even become warm, but he still forgot to drink it.
"I don't share his values, the way he lives his life. I boycott him.*"
"But he was a hero, and the greatest of all time.*"
It can be seen that everyone present was shocked by his speech, but Lex didn't care. As always, after delivering a short speech, he got into the car without looking back, leaving everyone behind. behind his car.
"Jarvis." In front of the TV, Tony finally spoke, "When did this happen?"
"Yesterday at three o'clock, sir," Jarvis replied. "You need to rest, sir. I'm sure your excess alcohol intake is poisoning your brain..."
"Nice figure of speech," Tony said.
He pulled out his phone and dialed Lex's number.
The other party quickly answered, but did not speak, and did not even leak the sound of breathing.
Tony sat in a sunny place, tapping his fingers on the table slowly.
He drank too much alcohol, but the excess alcohol only made him more sober-a person like him probably drinks to pretend to be drunk, to say something sober when he is confused, to cover up, vent or quietly Crashes silently.
But sometimes he is too sober to even pretend.
"I have to admit that he scares me a lot of times, but the fear he gives me is different from the reason most people are afraid of him."
Lex didn't answer.
According to Tony's character, it's time to be sarcastic at this time, and even throw a few sneers, but at this moment he is really in no mood to put on a show or make a joke.
There are countless hungry reporters squatting downstairs in Stark Tower trying to pry out Superman's status quo from him. Everyone in the military department wants to get information from him. Pep tried to talk to him, how considerate, but Tony listened to everything do not go in.
He didn't want to be persuaded or comforted, and he hated being thought to be so sad.
After the last battle, he had a new inspiration to upgrade his mecha. After accepting the gift from Superman, Jarvis experienced various abnormalities. There are still so many experiments waiting for him to do. There are so many here waiting for him to overthrow, and so many awards waiting for him to win...
What is the value of pain and sorrow?What's the point?Pain and sorrow are useless and utterly boring.
But nothing seemed to explain his current mood except pain and sadness.
"We all know he likes movies," Tony said. "He's always had a lot of weird ideas, some made into films, some miscarried, and some movies in between. He's already had Complete conception and design, with the help of some technological means, the finished film was made, but the film was not released."
"I've never heard you mention that," Lex said.
He sat behind his desk, put his mobile phone on the table with the speaker turned on, and fixed his eyes on the place near the window.
"It's as if our relationship is good enough to talk about this kind of topic." Tony sneered, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you. He will send me those unreleased films, very rarely. We After knowing each other for so many years, he only sent me a movie."
Lex knew the important point was coming, and glanced at the window again.
"It's actually not that good of a movie." Tony said after thinking, "I probably told such a story. It said that one day, a small town suddenly had a heavy fog, and there were many things that could not be seen clearly in the fog. Monster, anyone who dares to enter will never return. People in the small town are trapped in a supermarket and dare not go out. Trapped black lawyers, blue-collar workers, a crazy woman, some background characters, and men The protagonist and his son."
"The people in the supermarket are divided into two factions, one is the scientific faction headed by the male protagonist, and the other is the religious faction dominated by the crazy woman-this religion was developed during the few days of being trapped. They believe that Fog and monsters are God's punishment for them. As time goes by and the food in the supermarket dwindles, members of Scientology become fewer and members of Religion grow. People act more and more crazy, they He obeyed the crazy woman, and even drove a soldier out of the house as a 'sacrifice'."
"They chose the male protagonist's son as the next sacrifice."
"Of course the male protagonist couldn't agree, so a fight broke out between the two factions. The crazy woman was killed. In the chaos, the male protagonist drove four people including his son and left the supermarket to find a way out."
"They saw countless looming monsters in the dense fog along the way, and kept moving until the fuel was exhausted... What should they do next?"
“Classic movie about individual heroism with a hero and his companions on their way,” says Lex. “It’s not like a story you’d like.”
"I don't like the way you talk to me, Luther, stop talking to me like that."
"That's not for you."
"Whatever you want," Tony said, "but that's not how the movie ends. The movie ends with the five people in the car deciding to give up their lives and kill themselves to avoid the possible human tragedy of starvation."
"The male protagonist only had four bullets, and he used these four bullets to kill four other people, and then got out of the car to meet the monster, and at this moment, the fog cleared, and tanks and military vehicles drove by in front of him. Those background characters who won't leave the supermarket."
"...interesting," Lex said.
"This movie is not bad, but compared with other movies, it has obvious flaws. Even I can name a few casually. The transformation of the characters is insufficient, and too many issues such as class and religion are discussed, which leads to rhythm. There was a lot of rush and logical errors," Tony said, "but when I told him my assessment, guess what he said?"
"'Don't think of them as a movie,' he said, 'think of them as a real thing, a social news'."
When talking about this, Tony laughed uncontrollably, leaned forward and backward, and even laughed out tears:
"Funny, isn't it? A superhero makes a movie that mocks individual heroism, and laughs at it so heartily. You've never seen him like that before, have you?"
A silent chill rose from an unknown place, causing Lex to shiver slowly.
"You look cold, love." In the sunlight in front of the window, Superman said softly, "I hope you're not mad at me for hiding it from you."
Lex stared at him, saying nothing.
"I just want to tell you." Tony stopped laughing abruptly, and said coldly, "Your smug face on TV is so ugly that it makes me want to throw up. Don't think you are the one who knows him best, Luther, You think you know him so well that you don't know him at all."
"He's a hero, and he's not a hero. The part about him that isn't a hero is as important as the part that is a hero," Tony continued, "and all you see is..."
"This is too much." The Superman whispered again, his face was clean and beautiful in the sun, "Nini is just provoking you. He is good at this, don't fall into his trap."
"Stop preaching. You're nothing," Lex said coldly. "You're just an illusion, a shadow."
"...you're crazy, Luther." Tony hung up the phone.
He raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, and said loudly: "Jarvis, when will the public conference established by the Avengers start?"
