I haven't been a big brother for many years

The folder feels thick, but when opened, there is only a diary, a yellow smiley medal and a small USB flash drive.

Ryan copied the files in the USB flash drive casually, and began to look through the diary without a name, but he guessed it should be the rumored Rorschach's diary.

He had heard about Watchmen, the group of superheroes that had been brilliant during World War II, composed of more than a dozen heroes, but only Dr. Manhattan had real superpowers.

He also learned about his grandfather Edward, the anti-hero criticized by countless people, from Bender.He's more like a military ruffian, or a supervillain with a US government letter.

His fingers paused for a moment above the light screen given by Jarvis, and Ryan looked at the documents marking the various crimes of the joker, and turned straight over.He didn't have any extra feelings for this grandfather he had never met.

However, as he flipped through the documents, he always felt an inexplicable depression in his chest. The watchmen had concealed many things.

He opened the authority to search for materials during the Soviet-American Cold War period from within S.H.I.E.L.D.This is a major event known to almost everyone in history. The United States and the Soviet Union both held nuclear weapons and shouted, neither of them obeyed the other, but suddenly, the world’s metropolises were devastated, and 500 million people were massacred .After studying the energy composition left at the scene, people found that the culprit was Dr. Manhattan, who was regarded as the strongest weapon by the United States.

So Su Mei gave up the cold war, shook hands and made peace, and turned her finger on Dr. Manhattan.

The final ending of this story is that Dr. Manhattan left the earth, and the world has been peaceful since then.

Now it seems that this kind of history is a bit cruel, but it reveals the feeling of "something is wrong" from all aspects.

He turned his gaze to the diary whose pages had turned yellow. His intuition told him that the answer was in this diary.

"This city scares me, and I've seen its true face."

As soon as he opened the diary, this sentence was reflected on Ryan's retina.Ryan widened his eyes slightly in surprise: Rorschach is different from the comedian, he is indeed a hero.Even if his treatment of crime is sometimes too cruel, he is still a hero worthy of people's praise. People should praise the hero who shouldered the burden of saving the world and sang his death in Dr. Manhattan for peace. A sacrificial feat of the hand, not fear.

What is this real face?Why does Rorschach think that the city is afraid of him, that people are afraid of him?

He continued to look down, even though there was a voice in his heart that kept clamoring for him to stop his movements, throw this absurd diary aside and never open it again.

"Tonight, the Comedian died in New York. To attack him alone is to attack us all."

"There will soon be war. Millions will die of disease and suffering. Why does the death of one of us matter? Because there is good and evil, and evil must be punished. Even if the end of the world is coming. I It will not be tolerated."

"What matters is justice."

Ryan frowned, this superhero seemed to be more extreme than he imagined.

He continued to turn the pages, something was about to change, he told himself in his heart.

"What made the Comedian cry in front of Moro? What did he see?"

Moro... Ryan tapped his finger on the light screen, and found this person who was probably the "Moro" described by Rorschach. He was the common enemy of the watchers.

enemy?

His heart sank.

No one knows at whose hands the laughing craftsman died. This has always been an unsolved case.The Watchmen were also baffled by the sudden death of their colleague, and their enemies spoke of such an event.

The comedian didn't choose to believe in his companions, he would rather believe in his enemies, and even ran to cry with the enemies.

"Edward Blake.

laughing craftsman.

Born in 1918.

buried in the rain.

was murdered.

Is this what will eventually happen to us?Only the enemy leaves roses on our gravestones. "

Ryan's breathing was stagnant, and he only felt that his limbs were cold, and his brain seemed to be in a state of hypoxia; "Once it is discovered that heroes will also fall into wells, stone throwers will be extra brave, and the crowd will be extraordinarily crowded." He heard his own voice coldly Like hard ice, he read out this sentence.

"Blake is very clear about this. Human nature is evil. No matter how you hide it...how you pretend...Blake sees the true face of society."

Superheroes are not as simple as he imagined. One day, when heroes are late, people will target the superheroes who have helped them.

The expression on Ryan's face changed a few times. There is indeed a huge secret hidden in this diary.

The massacre of 500 million people turned out to be the work of the Pharaoh. This gentle and intelligent watcher found another way to blame Dr. Manhattan for the brutal massacre, so that the Soviet Union and the United States feared the existence of Dr. Manhattan and shook hands to make peace.

In order for the US-Soviet Cold War to end, nuclear war must first become an imminent reality.The 500 million lives that were sacrificed thus became the ridiculous price of peace.

What exactly is a hero?

Can heroes really save the world?

Should the burden of saving the world really be carried by a few heroes?

Tens of thousands of dead bodies were buried, and blood flowed like rivers, just to achieve the glory of the so-called hero.But who will pay for those innocent souls?

Superheroes are sad.

Because they are all silent, the only way to quickly end the cold war, end threats, in exchange for false world peace.

Only Luo Xia knew that he would die, but he still cried and wanted to report the pharaoh.

For what he thinks is justice.

"Pharaoh killed the comedian in advance to prevent the comedian from revealing the truth."

"We need justice and everyone will know what you did."

"I never compromise...I dabble in the dark with no complaints or regrets.

Rorschach. "

The diary in Ryan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he watched his pale and sickly hands trembling constantly.

He knew that Natasha handed these to him in the hope that he would join the justice team.Apparently S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't approve of Pharaoh's actions.Watchers, what they are trying to maintain is just an imaginary beautiful world. As the joker said, everything is actually a joke.

There is no false peace, and the world needs a new alliance of superheroes after so many years of silence to save this wonderful world hanging precariously on the edge of a cliff.

The Avengers.

But that's not what Lane saw.

He knew what he had to do, not to be a superhero, but to be a villain.

Light and darkness need to complement each other.

Just like there is no sun without shadows.

He smiled slowly.

The existence of superheroes is inherently absurd, and they are the saddest group of people in society.In the beginning, maybe it was just to help within one's ability, and then I was forced by everyone to be unable to stand by and bet my life to help others.It seems that the lives of superheroes are not worth mentioning, as if their helping hand has become a responsibility.

They are forced to make choices that ordinary people will never be exposed to. They have to lick their scars alone when faced with accusations, and they don't hesitate to lend a helping hand again when others call for help again.

Then, gradually, the voices against the existence of superheroes will gradually become louder.

People forget superhero acts of kindness and take them for granted.In their eyes, only the damage that superheroes have caused to the world will remain. The losses caused by battles to innocent civilians are huge, and civilians often don’t care whether the world will be destroyed. Human nature, people often He only cares about his own interests and his own life.

Voices of opposition gradually sounded.

Even the buildings destroyed by superheroes can become business opportunities for some businessmen who only care about their own interests. They can communicate with some criminals in advance and add one or two real estates of business opponents on their way to avoid the capture of superheroes.Even if it is obvious that someone did it on purpose, these crimes can be forcibly pushed onto the superheroes.

And who can blame the hero?After all, he saved everyone's life.

Then, the taxation on the public will become heavier and heavier, and the anger of the people will grow larger and larger.

Until the end, people asked heroes to withdraw from the stage of history, and they were no longer regarded as heroes, but as moths of society.

The end of each generation of superheroes seems to be so sad, but no one can escape the cycle of fate.

But at this time, only criminals can help the hero.

Become a criminal, he can control the circulation of weapons and genetic weapons at all times, and avoid the accidental death of superheroes caused by the excessive gap between the two sides.He can appear when people are getting tired of superheroes and make people re-aware of the necessity of superheroes.

And the so-called necessary sacrifices for peace that Pharaoh thought up, he can do it.He can be a villain, push people into the water, he can be the sharp knife of the government and superheroes.

He can negotiate with the government and become a career criminal.

Secretly regulate the power of gangsters, obliterating all possible threats in the cradle.

He was willing to be such a dirty weapon.

For what he has now.

For that Bruce may be the possibility of bat.

Now he has to make a choice.

The world has always been cruel to him, and he is only allowed to choose between loneliness and despicableness.

Choosing the former, he returns to darkness alone, but he can protect everyone he wants to protect.

Choosing the latter, he can enjoy the belated light, but he can only watch everyone he cares about fall into a damned cycle, and the belated hero finally withdraws from the stage of history and dies a tragic death.

People living in hell will gradually forget about heaven, but when they return to heaven after living in hell for too long, they will also nervously fear that the false heaven in front of them will eventually degenerate into boundless darkness one day.

Slender fingers caressed the admission notice from Massachusetts that he placed in the most conspicuous place on the table, Ryan smiled gently, and held the edge of the paper slightly with his fingers.

【

"Do you want to consider Massachusetts?" Tony's voice sounded in his ear: "I graduated from there."

"It's all right."

"Then I'll mail your gizmo." Tony tapped his head.

"what ever."

"You bad boy, you obviously like these gadgets, why don't you say it? You're too shy, boy, if you go on like this, you will definitely not be able to catch up with girls."

"How did you know that I like it?" Ryan put down the design drawing and looked back at Tony Stark, who looked like a fly in his eyes.

"Of course I know." Tony sounded helpless. He sat down beside Ryan and pulled his manuscript: "You don't even know that your eyes are shining with stars when you are drawing."

Ryan was silent, and Tony was a little too exaggerated when he was in his eyes.

"Go and eat, you have already missed your lunch, creation doesn't care about this time."

】

The thin acceptance letter became shattered in his hands.

It fell like a snowflake.

It's like the winter in Gotham, burying all that winter.

The author has something to say:

I don't know if I have written the feeling I want.

Superheroes must need criminals, and one person must return to the darkness to avoid the ending that superheroes must face.

So he has to go.

In order to protect everyone, from other criminals, from innocent people.

so...um

I know that everyone should have never watched Watchmen, so there are a lot of explanations.

Indeed, it should not be superheroes who save the world, but everyone in the world.

What Lane wants to avoid is people getting so attached to superheroes that they end up blaming them all.

Like the Pale Knight's lord, even Gordon thinks he's responsible for turning Gotham into a crime capital, making him a super villain.But in fact, the master just stubbornly believes that the clown has not changed his ways and wants to send him to Arkham.But the people no longer trust him.
