Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Chapter 54 What Can't Be Done [2 More]

Since we want to create a disagreement, and we can't just talk nonsense about the scandal between Batman and Superman, we can only portray these two people as disagreement due to personal emotional issues.

At times like this, Wonder Woman is needed.

As the only woman in the team, and also a high-ranking god, Diana has strong abilities, a strong and cheerful personality, and an extremely beautiful appearance. She is simply the perfect woman in Vera's mind.

Such a Diana, being secretly in love with teammates is simply too normal—for example, Superman and Batman secretly fell in love with Diana at the same time, and there were various emotional disputes between the three of them.

This kind of pornographic news will not damage Zhenglian Chaoying's image in the hearts of the public, but will bring a sense of worldliness to these high-ranking superheroes and make the public feel curious.

It's just that, for this kind of gossip and gossip, you still need to ask Diana and Trevor for their opinions... Bruce has reservations about this.

Sure enough, after Vera and Bruce found each other and told the plan, Trevor's face turned green.

Not only his face turned green, even the other men who were present at the same time almost didn't spray.

Clark's complexion was almost as ugly as Trevor's. He looked at Vera with a sullen face, holding his breath in his chest, unable to vomit or swallow, his whole body was visibly depressed, his whole face was black of.

The Flash and Cyborg sighed secretly respectively. The two of them worked together in a division of labor. One directly pressed Green Lantern, who was about to laugh wildly, while the other stepped forward to hold Shazam, saving these two winkless guys from being killed by Superman and Special Forces. Leivo and the others bear a grudge.

Of all people, of course Trevor was in the worst mood.

My girlfriend, being borrowed to have an affair with another man, will even be regarded as an official couple by the outside world-Trevor feels stomachache just thinking about it.

However, when he was about to refute sharply, he suddenly heard Vera explaining the speculation about "balance" and the reasons for doing so.

He was speechless.

——As a government liaison officer, Trevor had vaguely heard of a project called "Task Force X" within the government many days ago.

The initiator of this project is Amanda Waller, the backbone of the hardliners. She once raised the threat of the Zhenglian (mainly Superman) to Walker. It is said that in order to resist Superman, she secretly assembled a special force.

Fortunately, at that time, Walker hadn't had a live broadcast with Superman, and the Justice League and the White House were still in the honeymoon period, so Walker's staff put the plan on hold.

Trevor thought it was nothing at the time, but now hearing Vera casually mentioning it...he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Trevor really didn't know whether to admire Senna's eyesight so precise that he had guessed the government's plan in advance, or whether he should be concerned about his vacillating position.

Bruce could clearly see the weird and tangled expression on Trevor's face. He met Vera's eyes calmly, and both of them vaguely understood what was going on.

Diana was ignorant, she listened to Vera's words with a blank face, and she couldn't help showing a look of hesitation as she listened.

"I don't understand what they're thinking."

She frowned, and asked a question that no one had expected in confusion:

"Why does Walker always think we're going to kill him? If I had malicious intentions towards him, I wouldn't have ran to the plane to save him."

During the Battle of Washington, Diana was the first superhero to find Walker and rescue the Walker couple from aliens. She had seen Walker in the most embarrassing appearance, and Walker expressed the most gratitude to Diana.

Therefore, she has never understood why the Walker government has been secretly framing them and using such despicable and shameless methods to discredit them.

Diana, who had never been in contact with human society before, was relatively simple in nature. She couldn't understand the twists and turns in the hearts of politicians like Walker.

But no matter what, she can still understand the so-called "scandal" that Vera and Bruce said, and she also knows that this is not a good word.

"I am Princess Diana of Paradise Island. I came here to save mankind."

Saying that, Diana looked at Vera, a little serious, and asked with a hint of grievance:

"I don't understand, aren't we superheroes?"

"But why should we give in for these inexplicable reasons? Why should we smear ourselves and become the joke at the center of the scandal in order to lower the vigilance of those people?"

Diana's voice was hoarse.

Sitting there, she slightly raised her head to look at Vera, those pure blue eyes were filled with pure puzzlement.

Diana was a warrior with a strong mind and a strong will.

Since she came to human society, she has been boycotted and insulted by many people because of her attire and behavior. She also repelled the enemy and saved the Walker couple in the Washington War regardless of her life.

After the establishment of the Justice League, she spent most of her time running for world peace. She represented Paradise Island to establish diplomatic relations with human society, and she would directly take action when ordinary people were in danger.

Diana thought that she was strong and rational enough, but when Vera really brought up these things and analyzed the feasibility of these plans to her, she still wavered.

"I am a hero, the duty of a hero... Shouldn't it be to save the world?"

It doesn't matter who the gossip is, she just simply doesn't like such a plan.

She doesn't like to deceive others, and she doesn't like to be deceived. In her eyes, the human world is very strange.

Superman really won the trust of the people not because he once saved the world, but because of his face.

In order to conceal his identity and better save Gotham, Batman did not hesitate to pour dirty water on himself, shaping himself into a ghost in the dark night, making everyone fearful.

Is the human world always this ridiculous?

... She doesn't like this kind of world, nor does she understand it.

……

The whole house was dead silent.

The smiles that Green Lantern and Shazam were holding back just now disappeared without a trace.

Bruce and Clark clenched their fists at the same time, and they all stared at Diana in the center of the room with complicated and unpredictable eyes.

And Trevor froze directly. He looked at Diana in disbelief. His whole body seemed to be dead, showing a kind of blue-gray. His whole heart seemed to be held by someone, which was irresistible. aches.

No one spoke, and everyone tightened their mouths, not knowing how to explain it to Diana.

In the end, it was Vera who broke the silence.

Facing Diana who stubbornly pursued her for an answer, she sighed softly in her heart, and simply pulled the bewildered female soldier to the top floor of the Zhenglian base.

It was night, under the excellent camouflage of the Zhenglian base, no outsider could see the fragility flashing across Diana's face at this moment.

In Xiwei's starlight, standing in front of Vera, the decisive Valkyrie looked like a lost child after shedding all her hostility and weapons.

On the terrace on the top floor, Vera handed to Zhenglian the ice point she had hidden in the freezer in Zhenglian's office.

Facing the sky full of stars and the full moon, she sat quietly beside Diana, watching her eat the whole ice cream bit by bit.

Maybe desserts always have a healing effect?

The ice cream is strawberry milk flavored, exuding the sweet aroma of strawberries, mixed with the thick milky flavor of milk, after eating a sweet and greasy ice cream, Diana's expression finally eased a little.

Vera waited for another moment until Diana's whole body relaxed slightly before asking softly:

"are you angry with me?"

"Why should I be mad at you?"

Diana shook her head, "I know you're helping us, you're a good person - I just don't get it, why are we sacrificing our reputations to do these things?"

As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at Vera, obviously still wanting an explanation.

Vera snorted.

She raised the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but her expression was extremely cold. Instead of answering directly, she said amusedly:

"...but I'm not a good person."

"I'm not a good person. What I do is essentially no different from those of Walker and Obadiah. I am also misleading public opinion, and I am also using the public-just like that, you still think Am I a good person?"

Diana stared blankly at Vera, half understanding.

Vera narrowed her eyes and looked down the tall building with ease, she said slowly:

"But, apart from us bastards, what have they done wrong in terms of the public?"

"The media reported that Batman killed people, and they protested with righteous indignation because they sympathized with the victims, and couldn't bear to see the perpetrator gain fame; the media reported that Superman used his ability to wreak havoc, and they resisted unbearably because they knew how to do so. It’s not right, even if the other party is a superman, they can’t just destroy public property—is their original intention wrong?”

Having said that, Vera moved closer, stretched out her index finger, first pointed at the bustling crowd downstairs, then pointed at herself, and said calmly:

“There is nothing wrong with the public resisting protests because of justice, we who use justice and all the emotions of people — we are the ones who are wrong, we are the biggest villains.”

Diana's pupils contracted suddenly, and her eyes gradually became brighter.

"So, rather than you sacrificing your reputation to do these things, I'm asking you to sacrifice your reputation to do these things for me—I need you to help me fight another bunch of assholes."

Vera turned her head away, looked up at the bright moon above the night sky, shrugged her shoulders, and lazily said:

"So, you can blame me directly."

"My methods are dirty, my plans are odious, my plan is deceiving everyone, and it is I who let you fall into this ridiculous circle, which has nothing to do with this world."

...Obviously speaking such vicious words, and clearly telling such a rogue and shameless truth, Vera's emotions did not fluctuate at all.

She calmly took all the responsibility on her own head.

But, this originally... shouldn't be borne by her alone!

Looking at the green-eyed girl in front of her, Diana suddenly didn't know what to say.

She only felt that her whole heart seemed to be soaked in sulfuric acid, which was both sore and painful, and accompanied by bursts of sharp depression. In this unspeakable sadness and anger, she reluctantly held back her temper and asked in a low voice. road:

"...No, is there any other way?"

"Yes."

Facing Diana's eyes that suddenly lit up, Vera couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it, she said gently:

"In the beginning, my first choice plan, was to make the Justice League [disappear] for a year."

Diana:? ?

"Remember? There was a time when all the media, at the beck and call of someone behind the scenes, were bashing superheroes, thinking superheroes broke the law, that vigilantes were guilty of everything they did—you're all another level of criminal."

Vera took out her mobile phone, found out the news at that time and passed it to Diana. After she finished reading it, before she had time to show her anger, she threw out such a shocking thunder as if nothing had happened:

"So... At that time, I thought about letting all seven of you go to Paradise Island for vacation, and completely abandon the earth. You must completely disappear and leave."

Diana:! !

"Once there is no superhero's help, once there is no superman in charge, the situation will no longer be controllable. When those supervillains and aliens attack the earth again, they will immediately change their faces, crying and shouting for superheroes— ——At that time, I will naturally have a way to manage public opinion for you, and kill those bastards who have framed you and slandered you."

Seemingly thinking of something very fun, Vera's lips curled slightly.

Isn't that saying superheroes are illegal?Well, then they will not volunteer to help.

Wouldn't it be okay without superheroes?Well, then they give up fighting those aliens and super villains.

If this plan is really implemented, within a year, Chaoying and the others don't have to do anything, and she can clean up all the filth, filth, and discord by herself, so that they don't have to suffer the slightest grievance.

"I really conceived the plan,"

Looking at the stunned Diana, Vera's eyes softened, revealing a hint of helplessness.

"But... are you willing?"

"Are you willing to just disappear? Can you do nothing? When the earth is in danger, will you pretend to be invisible and hide in the dark, watching human beings suffer?"

"I--"

Diana felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes widened, her lips mumbled for a long time without saying a word.

In those blue eyes, countless emotions flickered in an instant: pity, compassion, courage, fighting spirit, unyielding, anger... In the end, these mixed emotions became clear.

"……I can not do it."

Diana said dryly.

She can't.

She couldn't just watch the earth die, she couldn't watch innocent people die.

Not only her, but everyone in the Justice League, couldn't do it.

"I know."

The corners of Vera's eyes were curved, she suddenly reached out and gave Diana a gentle hug.

I know that you are omnipotent, but this is the only thing you can't do.

"...So, it's more convenient for you to blame me."

What you can't do, those dirty, filthy things, just let me do it.

On the terrace, Vera stretched out her hand very hard, hugging Diana, who was much taller than herself, into her arms, comforting her as if comforting Jason.

Under the balcony, a few men who were too worried and secretly came to listen to the corner, clenched their fists, resisted the astringency rising in their hearts, and left quietly.

...Is there something that can't be done?
