[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Thus, Ruby's life in the Fortress of Solitude began.

She huddled in the body of the little squirrel, sitting on the branch of alien creatures growing in the greenhouse, looking at the strange creatures living in the greenhouse, thinking with a blank face:

It is indeed a lonely fortress, but there are enough lonely ones.

Originally, she thought that Clark would come to accompany her, but the damned Kryptonian actually told her apologetically that he had to go to work!

must go to work!

You, a Kryptonian who is completely invincible on Earth, have to go to work!

Clark Kent was even plausible: "If you don't go to work, how can I get the money to support you?"

Ruby: ...

Well, it makes sense.

As a result, Ruby's daily life has become as follows:

Get up every morning, kick the alien pig that smells on you, pull its ears that are bigger than plantains, and curse: "Next time you come near me when I'm sleeping, I'll kill you!" Make it into a suckling pig!"

Wake up and eat the daily fruit from the alien apple tree, which is one of Ruby's happiest times of the day, because every fruit is super sweet and nutritious!

- Of course, if only this damn alien apple tree wouldn't be waving its tentacles around her trying to beat her up and call her a robber.

Ruby: "Why are you so stingy? If you don't eat your fruit that day, it will rot tomorrow."

The alien apple tree cried miserably, stammering: "Bandit! Robber! Robber! Whoah!"

Ruby: ... As the creature with the highest IQ here, I don't have the same knowledge as you.

After eating the fruit, Ruby sat on the top of another alien tree with a better temper and was in a daze.Why sit at the top?Because that nasty alien pig has been following her all the time, if she sits a little lower, she will be pushed down by it!

Ruby: Damn it, the symbiote Luo Pingyang was bullied by a pig, you all just wait for me!

Only at night, after get off work, Clark would find time to come over to accompany her. Of course, the premise was that he didn't work overtime.

However, being accompanied by Kryptonians is not a happy thing!

So far, Ruby still can't figure out why Clark thinks she is a young baby, a cutie who needs to be educated, a cub who is shaping values, worldview and concept of good and evil!

Therefore, she has to go to class in tears every day under the persecution of this super Kryptonian who works as a part-time jailer and a male mother.

From time to time, Clark would take out the books he left in the study to eat ashes, and read poems or something in front of the small symbionts.

"What can I use to keep you? I'll give you thin streets, desperate sunsets, and moons in the wilderness..." He sat under the warm yellow desk lamp, wearing glasses, and read out the blog in a calm and gentle tone. Famous verse of Jerges.

Ruby the squirrel sitting on his lap ruthlessly interrupted the beautiful scene: "No, as long as you give me something good to eat."

Clark put on a pain mask because of the disobedient child: "..."

He still decided to struggle for a while, and said, "Ruby, you have to know that the meaning of life is not just about eating. Many times we need some artistic things to cultivate our sentiment..."

Then he heard the squirrel yawning.

Clark: ...Stand up, this is the first time he's seen a squirrel yawn!

Clark looked down at the little symbiont lying on his lap, and saw that her beautiful big eyes, which seemed to be the purest jewels, were about to close. She was so sleepy that she closed them with a click. His eyes were closed, and the small tears that oozed out from yawning immediately flowed down.

Clark: ...No, really not.But so cute!

Ruby woke up immediately, she opened her eyes suddenly, and saw Clark with an expressionless face and a field of flowers blooming behind him.

Ruby's clever little brain instantly turned into high-speed operation, and half a second later, she blurted out: "It's so, so artistic! The tears in my eyes are blurred, and I can hardly read the words clearly. Woohoo, what kind of fairy wife is Borges... ..."

Clark closed the collection of poems expressionlessly: "Sleep, good night, Ruby."

Ruby: Woohoo, my tone is very gentle but I still feel scolded.

So, in order to avoid losing Clark's favor and being thrown back to the symbiote planet, Ruby had no choice but to bite the bullet and read the book of poems.

So, when Clark came back from get off work the next day, he was surprised to find that this little alien was surprisingly smart.

She even memorized the entire collection of poems!

Ruby: Thanks system.

A system whose memory is full of useless information: ... you're welcome.

"—the God of Destiny has no mercy, and God's long night has no end." Ruby read the verses in the book and said, "Is it true that God has no mercy?"

Clark rubbed the little symbiote's soft head, and gave her a handful of super-scented peanuts as a reward for Ruby's memorization of the poem: "Of course there are."

Ruby: ...this man talks like fart!

System: This is a dirty word, little squirrels are not allowed to say it!

Ruby: As long as he has any compassion, he won't lock me up in this damn place and won't let me out!

System: But he will come to accompany you whenever he is free, and he will bring you delicious food. If you want to open something, it is better than throwing it back to the symbiote planet.

Ruby: ...that makes sense.

Therefore, the bottom line of the symbiont is lowered a little bit.

……

Sometimes Ruby also chats with Clark about unrelated topics.

"Clark, don't go to work, okay? It's a waste of time." Ruby jumped because of Clark's overtime.

"How can this be called a waste of time?" Clark disagreed.

"If it's just for making money..." Ruby's little brain suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, "You can build a Kryptonian temple, and you only need to collect incense money every day, and then help the people on Earth to solve their problems. Wouldn’t it be okay if the incident didn’t happen?”

Clark: "..."

A picture suddenly flashed in Clark's mind. He was sitting on the lotus throne, with a smoking airplane in his hand, looking into the distance with pity. Line up to give him incense money...

Then there was a loudspeaker beside him, and a squirrel sitting beside the loudspeaker shouted from time to time: "Thank you, boss Bruce Wayne, for the supercar, the boss is magnificent! Boss, please take a seat! If you have any needs, please write in the merit list book!"

Occasionally, a certain bald man would rush over anxiously and annoyed, shouting at the crowd with a loudspeaker bigger than him: "Don't believe in false gods! Don't believe in false gods! Please leave this ruin established by false gods!" Temple, I’m going to blow up here, repeat, I’m going to blow up here, it won’t work when Jesus comes! Thank you for your cooperation!”

Clark, who broke out in a cold sweat from his own imagination: ...It's kind of scary.

So, Clark said: "I'll continue to work as a reporter..."

Ruby was angry: "It's a waste of time to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, it's meaningless!"

Clark said helplessly: "It's not meaningless. I also have to live. Besides, being a reporter allows me to get first-hand information as quickly as possible. Even if I waste a little time, there is no loss for me." .”

He felt that it was time for the alien class again, and he had to instill the correct values ​​in this child.Born as an alien symbiote with powerful power, she has to be upright enough to ensure that her possible future hosts will not be crooked.

Ruby was particularly surprised and said: "It's not a loss? How much time have you been forced to waste? If you save this time, you can do more things."

Clark: "Like what?"

Ruby said: "For example, go to eat something delicious, watch a TV series, travel around the world, or... have a relationship or something?"

Clark smiled and said: "There will be opportunities for these in the future, anyway, the days are still long."

—Anyway, the days are still long.

Ruby was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that as aliens, she and Clark had a much, much longer lifespan than ordinary Earthlings.

And these short moments, even if they are wasted, are to them nothing more than an insignificant part of a long time.

At this moment, for some reason, Constantine's handsome but sickly pale face suddenly appeared in Ruby's mind.

It had been more than a week since she had met Konstantin.

Yes, both she and Clark have an endless lifespan, and their future is still very long. They have enough time to do what they want to do, to be who they want to be, and even their long lifespan will Give them nearly endless opportunities to make mistakes.

As for Constantine, it may not be long before he will lose his future forever.

Ruby felt the magic rune in her body and found that it was still working. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little melancholy again.

But life is like this, it goes round and round, endlessly, and there will be a day of extinction.

Although he showed a nonchalant appearance, who could be so free and easy when death came?Perhaps, at this moment, every minute and every second of his life is precious to him.

But what about her?

But she's going to spend a lot of time in this place fighting wits with alien pigs and other strange creatures!

Thinking of this, Ruby became even angrier.

"No." She said to the system, "I have to find a way to escape."

System: "Constantine's contract is waiting for you."

This is the only possible way.

Ruby thought about it again, and was immediately a little discouraged: "...No, I still can't do it. I really hate him a little bit, and I always feel like he's digging a hole for me."

System: "Then you can continue to stay here, anyway, the Kryptonians are right, our time is still long."

One month, you can wait until the contract magic on her expires.

Three months, until Constantine's last coffin nail was nailed to the planks.

In 80 years, you can wait until a high school student enters his twilight years.

Not to mention the vicissitudes of life, countless long hours will completely transform the world into a strange appearance, like a slow poison.

By the time Clark thought she had grown into an adult symbiote and was willing to let her out, was this world still the one she knew?

Ruby was silent for a long time.

She still hadn't made up her mind.

But there is one thing to say, if the fatal flaw of too slow energy growth is not counted, the quality of life in the Fortress of Solitude is quite good.

If you are sleepy, you can sleep, if you are hungry, you can eat delicious food, and you can change your body to eat at any time, so you are not afraid of gaining weight or your stomach is not big enough!

There is even a monster whose stomach is connected to the independent universe in the Fortress of Solitude. No matter how much it eats, it won't get fat or get full. It's simply the best choice for Ruby's possession!

But that monster was so fierce, and after Ruby was scratched by its claws for the Nth time, Clark Kent reluctantly separated them.

Ruby: "I'm fine, my body won't hurt! Damn it, I'm going to let that fat cat taste what it's like to be possessed by me, I'm going to bang its head against the wall!"

System: ... Is this the legendary injury to the enemy by one thousand and self-injury to eight hundred?

Clark said softly, "I brought you cookies, do you want to try them?"

Ruby forgot the annoyance just now: "Okay, where are you?"
