Diana was never surprised by how quickly humans forget.

Perhaps it is because human life is too short, and there are too many things that they need to pay attention to and understand in their life compared to their short life, human beings can always easily forget what happened to them in the past matter.

The embers of World War II are still burning on countless lands. Many soldiers and officers who participated in the war are still alive. The war that ravaged the entire world still affects the pattern of the world until now.

How many people have the slightest memory of the cataclysm—no matter what it did to their lives?

And now less than a hundred years have passed since World War II.

So Diana was not surprised by this at all: In the next month after Superman's funeral, there was no pedestrian wearing a black veil with the Superman logo on the street.

The once overwhelming Superman-related leaflets were covered by rumors and gossip in Hollywood, and people's sadness and remembrance were replaced by some irrelevant joy. The news headlines in the metropolis were still full of vitality after losing Superman, without any decline .

Diana clicked on the e-newsletter sent to her mailbox by the "Daily Planet". In the place where the full body photo of Superman was once published, she saw Lex.Luther.

"Superman's contribution to this city is indelible," he said to the outside world through the Planet Daily the day after the funeral, "I believe that each of us will miss him, We all know there will never be someone as special as him in the world."

"I'm going to fund a museum at the Met—the Museum of Superman, as I call it."

"In this museum, you'll find everything that's been reported about Superman from around the world since he came into existence, and statements from everyone who has come forward to thank him for his help. You'll find all of our stories here. Knowing all his actions, every act of generosity and ungrateful humility, and I swear, dear Metropolitans, I swear, as long as you look at the material that is still being enriched, you can intuitively understand how great he really is."

Luther did not deceive the citizens of Metropolis.

On the day he made the news public, the construction team under Lex Group was already in place on the construction site, and the government gave the green light to the declarations of the Superman Museum, although at this juncture, there will be no indifferent people deliberately looking for trouble , but Luthor's strength in it still cannot be ignored.

Today, a month later, the magnificent building has begun to take shape.

But Lex.This is not the only thing that attracted Luther's attention. During this month, he expressed his grief and mourning for Superman's death in a high-profile way in various ways. Every day, his Facebook will update and News about Superman.

Diana read every line without end.

Sometimes Luthor will update a few pictures that have never appeared in public. The protagonists of the pictures are all Superman, and the scenes in the pictures are all Superman's smile.

Superman hovered in the air with his chest folded, his flying red cloak wrapped most of his body, he stared at his feet with gentle and focused eyes.

Wording: "forest fire."

Superman lifts up the fragments of the collapsed building, looks down at the off-camera slabs, and smiles wider than his usual, and obviously, more reassuring.

Wording: "Earthquake."

Superman is leaning against a large tree with a motley kitten in his hand.He put his hand on the kitten's back and gently stroked it. He looked at the kitten and smiled, and the slanted arc of his lips seemed to have some intimacy and helplessness.

Caption: "The kitten is stuck in a tree."

Superman stood on the top of the tall building, with his toes protruding from the edge of the roof, his body leaning forward slightly, his eyes widened, as if he was surprised by what he saw, but at the same time he couldn't hide his smile The meaning also leaked from the corners of his pursed lips—he looked so young, and every detail on his face was as bright as a child.

Wording: "Someone on the other side threw a bouquet at him."

Sometimes Luthor would send pure texts to miss Superman, but the number of times was very rare, and compared to those pictures, his texts seemed too polite and official.

But anyway, this is still not Lex.Most shocking thing Luthor did after Superman's funeral.

Yes, this is far from the most surprising thing for someone, the most incredible thing is that after Superman left, Lex.Luthor has taken on what Superman has done for this city!

This is a very realistic and unavoidable problem: over the years, the abnormally beautiful city style of the metropolis has been maintained by Superman.

It is Superman who falls from the sky when people encounter various difficulties, it is Superman who arrests superhuman criminals and hands them over to police officers, it is Superman who maintains the order of the entire city, and it is Superman who becomes people's spiritual pillar and source of happiness, and With Superman dead, this beautiful city will undoubtedly become a lamb in the eyes of many wicked people.

Regarding the surge of supernatural crimes and ordinary people's crimes after Superman left, the mayor of the metropolis was troubled, and the police officers were also very embarrassed.

Ordinary people's crimes are okay, as long as the police force is strengthened, supernatural crimes are not easily solved by ordinary people.Even if the army is dispatched, superhumans of average strength are still no match for large quantities of arms, but the army can only be the trump card at critical moments, and cannot be used for routine patrols.

At this moment, a robot wearing the Lex Group logo on his chest appeared in the metropolis.

They do everything Superman can and will do, help people in trouble, stop crimes and send criminals to police officers, help elderly people with limited mobility... They play Lex.Luther's voice:

"Please rest assured, ma'am, please leave this to Lex Luthor."

"Lex Luthor will protect you."

"The city still has a reliable guardian."

"Lex Luthor is at your service."

These not-quite-human-looking robots haven't gained everyone's trust, and Metropolis just lost Superman, and they can't accept another human claiming the city so quickly.

Lex.Luthor's move was not widely praised, in fact, more people began to criticize him for "too quick success".

"We all know that he is trying hard to win votes, he needs the favor of the people, but in any case, he has gone too far. People are not willing to accept his hypocritical kindness. If Lex and Luthor try to use such behavior to gain favor, So I have to say, he was dead wrong."

"After that long period of hostility and blatant dislike, I'm more willing to believe that his actions now are that he can't wait to remove Superman from the city. Something completely impossible."

Louise made an extremely pungent evaluation, but at the end of that article, she did not leave room for Luthor to explain:

"But I have to admit, his speech at the funeral was very moving. I have to admit that I believe he had mixed feelings about Superman, maybe he once regarded Superman as his lifelong enemy, but Superman's departure changed everything. "

"Lex Luthor is putting himself in a dangerous situation. After Superman left, each of us is deeply saddened. It is a difficult task to get rid of this emotion. The more you know Superman, the harder it is to break free. I dare not say I have made great progress in this work, but Luther, I can be sure, he has completely indulged himself in it-for remembrance, or atonement..."

"...maybe we shouldn't hate someone too much. Because sometimes the difference between love and hate is that there is no difference. It makes people lose everything."

And for all the criticism and scolding, Lex.Luther remained silent throughout.

With his nostalgia for Superman steadfast in his personal media, and his robots relentlessly patrolling Metropolis, there seems to be something noble about his silence.

Diana doesn't believe that Luthor's actions are meaningless, but she is also not sure that Luthor's actions are for an evil conspiracy-Superman is gone, who is his conspiracy against?

As for the campaign... Even Diana, who knows nothing about politics, knows about Lex.What an advantage Luther, a truly smart person, has over those idiots.

There is no need for Luthor, and he will never use such an open, almost "imitation of Superman" method to win votes for himself.

Even if he wants to increase the goodwill of the people, he will use more "human" methods: speeches, participation in public welfare, and lobbying of major parties.

So Diana has other plans when she leans towards Luthor. The only question is what Luthor is planning secretly.

She stuffed the tablet in her windbreaker and walked towards the flower shop with big strides. When she came out, she already had a bunch of small white baby's breath in her hand.

Superman's tombstone is full of flowers and gifts. Is someone maintaining and tidying it up regularly?Everything is neatly arranged, and the petals of each flower are so delicate and beautiful, as if they have just been placed there.

Diana approached, and she was stopped by a robot.

"Good afternoon, ma'am, if you want to present flowers to Superman, please place them where we have planned. The gifts you bring can be placed next to each other. Every day we will collect the bouquets and gifts that are sent. All gifts, The letters will be housed in the Superman Museum."

It's Lex.Luther's voice.

Diana raised her eyebrows: "I see."

The robot didn't budge.

"Ms. Prince?" it said, the lights on its eyes flickered, "I'm sorry to talk to you in such a way, if I knew you would come here, I would definitely entertain you in advance..."

"Oh come on Luther," Diana interrupted him, "I didn't hide anything when I came, the camera caught it all."

"Given our relationship, I thought it might make you less hostile to say so."

"That didn't work."

"I understand." Lex sat behind the desk, with his hands clasped against his chin, "but I still hope to have a good chat with you... What do you think?"
