Watching Dr. Lizard and Dr. Octopus die together, Xi Nian and Spider-Man were silent.
Who could have imagined such an ending?
"Dr. Kurt, he's still out of control and has completely turned into a beastly monster."
Gwen took off her spider hood, sighed, and said with some sadness, "Dr. Otto must have been the same. The intelligent systems of those mechanical claws behind him have stimulated his brain nerves. He has long been controlled by the machines."
Xi Nian nodded.
Obtaining something extraordinary beyond one's control leads to a loss of control, a loss of humanity and bottom line...
He could empathize with this.
The current Doctor Lizard and Doctor Octopus are just like the three-in-one Xi Nian. The only difference is that Xi Nian stopped before it was too late and took control of the extraordinary power in time, while the two doctors could not stop and continued to lose themselves in the abyss of the extraordinary.
At present, the back of the world is exposed to the sun, and extraordinary events are emerging one after another.
The two doctors are just a microcosm and representative.
later.
Like the two doctors, there may be more people who long to explore the extraordinary but end up lost in it...
"Let's go back." Xi Nian said.
"Leave them here?" Gwen hesitated.
"Leaving the glory of their lives in the outside world, and burying the darkness in their hearts and possessions underground, this should be the ending they want." Xi Nian thought for a while, squatted forward, and placed his left hand on the ground near the two doctors.
The five fingers of his left hand suddenly grabbed and pressed down!
Snap—
The pit, which was already full of cracks, suddenly broke and collapsed. The entangled bodies of Dr. Lizard and Dr. Octopus fell down and were buried by rubble and darkness in the underground where there was no sunlight.
…
weekend.
Xi Nian was lying on the sofa at home, petting the baby Metamorphosis beast Xiao Huang. He was bored and watched the TV playing a program commemorating two doctors who made outstanding contributions to biology and physics respectively - Kurt Connors and Otto Gunther Octavius.
"So, Auntie. And finally, Auntie Leopard... um, what happened to Ms. Barbara?"
Xi Nian turned over on the sofa and looked up at the owner of the slender and sleek legs that were resting on the back of his head.
Diana reached out and ruffled his hair, then said calmly, "Nothing serious. But she probably won't dare come to this city again in the next few years."
Xi Nian shrank his neck inexplicably. He could imagine that the Leopard Girl must have been terribly abused at that time.
After all, when he rushed back to school, he could only see the back of the Leopard Girl running away in panic.
"Okay, you stay home by yourself. I have to go to work." Diana said as she gently lifted the back of Xi Nian's head and stuffed a pillow into his body instead of her legs.
Xi Nian frowned uncomfortably.
The pillow was actually quite comfortable, but compared to the one wrapped in the high-quality white gauze skirt, it was clearly far inferior in terms of softness, smoothness, and pleasant satisfaction...
After Aunt Diana left home, the house suddenly became deserted, and only Xinian and Xiaohuang were left to guard the house.
Even little Wanda, who was usually busy at home, was gone. According to the arrangement made last week, she was picked up by a special car sent by the Wayne Group and taken to Gotham City for further studies.
That's right.
Today is the seventh day that Superman is away.
Xi Nian could recall with his eyes closed that a few days ago, the streets of the metropolis were deserted, countless people took to the streets with flowers in their hands to bid farewell, and the US military even deployed fighter jets in a large-scale manner, as if holding an unprecedented funeral of a scale not even for a president.
Sadly, Superman didn't lie in that luxurious, flag-draped casket.
While the whole world was undergoing a grand funeral, Superman, in his human identity as Clark Joseph Kent, lay in an ordinary wooden coffin and held a small farewell funeral in front of a suburban house far away from the city.
Therefore, at a large funeral, the empty coffin should contain the justice and truth of this country.
There were only a dozen or so people at the small funeral, including Superman's family, fiancée, colleagues, and members of the Justice League that was being formed.
This is what Diana told Xi Nian after she came back from the small funeral.
Xi Nian knew.
This also means that my aunt has decided to inherit Superman's legacy and officially join the Justice League as Wonder Woman, joining forces with other superheroes to fight against possible extraordinary events in the future!
This will also be the second extraordinary team composed of superheroes after the Avengers!
…
Xi Nian shook his head, but had no intention of joining any alliance.
After all, both the Avengers and the Justice League have Iron Man and Batman as the core leaders respectively. He is really not the kind of person who can act and fight according to other people's ideas.
If there is a chance in the future, I might as well create my own alliance.
If we don't talk about other members, at least Gwen counts as one, right?
Xi Nian quickly put this immature idea behind him, picked up the little Yuan Devourer King in his arms, stood up from the sofa and muttered with some boredom: "Why don't I take you to see Barry Allen? He's been taking care of you for a while, and he even specially invited me last time."
"Meow!" The little emperor blinked and raised a cat paw with pink pads.
"Five cans of small fish? Deal." Xi Nian said generously.
So, very quickly.
Xi Nian changed into clothes suitable for going out and went out carrying an ordinary schoolbag. A small orange head popped out of the opening of the schoolbag.
The sun was shining outside, people were coming and going on the streets, some street walls were graffitied with patterns commemorating Superman, and billboards on the streets and alleys flashed Superman's figure from time to time.
It's as if Superman is still alive and there are Supermen everywhere.
Xi Nian carried the little emperor in his schoolbag and walked along the pedestrian street to the address Barry Allen mentioned.
But, we're only halfway there.
When crossing the sidewalk with zebra crossing, Xi Nian was slightly stunned. Among the oncoming crowd, a figure in a yellow robe was very conspicuous.
It was a bald woman wearing a strange and clean yellow robe, with her hands behind her back, standing straight and motionless in the middle of the sidewalk at the intersection.
Whether it was her strange dress similar to a monk's robe or her action of standing in the middle of the road, she stood out from the crowd and was different from ordinary people.
But.
The many passers-by walking past the woman, and even the people on the entire street, seemed to have completely ignored her.
Xi Nian paused.
His first thought was, could it be that he encountered something so-called indescribable?
Can't you see the fear that I see?
After dismissing the funny thoughts in his mind, Xi Nian hesitated for a moment, moved the backpack he was carrying to his chest, and continued walking forward pretending not to see it.
Just as Xi Nian, like other passers-by, was about to walk past the woman.
The woman smiled faintly, looked at him, and said, "My name is Gu Yi."
