[Zhongyingmei] Did Dachao confess today?

Most of Joshua's understanding of this earth comes from TV.

He doesn't go out very much, and most of the time he spends most of his time in the living room in a daze of boredom, or listening to the sound of Bruce and Tony hammering on things behind the wooden door, or through the dusty window panes Look at the scenery outside the window.

The house hadn't changed much from the day Joshua and the others rented it, with old sofas and floors, and a clunky big-ass TV in the living room that seemed as old as the last century.

But this does not mean that Tony and Bruce have no money to replace the outdated facilities in this house - although they were indeed penniless when they first came to this world, they were poorer than the tramps on the streets of Gotham, but As long as Xiao Jia is connected to the Internet, countless money can be remitted continuously to a fake account that Xiao Jia made up.

The money was enough for the three of them to buy a high-end villa, but in the end the three of them decided to rent a humble house in this humble border town, and they didn't even replace the old facilities in the house.

When sitting on the creaking sofa in the living room, Mr. Stark, who is used to enjoying the high-end sofa leather seats, didn't even frown, lying on the weather-beaten sofa that was even a little dusty When I went to school, I said leisurely: "Sooner or later, I have to leave this earth, and it is useless to buy a good house."

In fact, Joshua felt that what Tony wanted to express was that the house he bought with money did not want to be wasted.

As the richest man in New York, Mr. Stark is sometimes bold enough to burn money to smell the scent of dollars, and sometimes he is too stingy and reluctant to spend an extra penny.

Of course, Joshua thinks that the bigger reason may be that buying a house on this earth is a very risky thing for the three unknown black households—even though Bruce didn’t know how to get three on the first day. Enough to confuse genuine ID documents.

This is thanks to the fact that the place where they landed is in a border town. Not only is the supervision much lax compared to the first-tier cities, there are even fewer mechanical police patrolling the streets from time to time.

Judging from the news broadcast on that old TV, this Earth has more restrictions on ordinary people than Joshua and his Earth.Not only are mechanical policemen patrolling the streets and alleys, observing the crimes that are about to happen in the dark corners, but also everyone’s social relations and family relatives are listed as data tables and stored in the database of the United Nations Center computer. It is ridiculous to say that a person's long and ordinary life is condensed into a few worthless data streams.

Once someone commits a crime, not only will he log into the database of the central computer and be listed as a surveillance object, but if the crime is serious, he will even undergo a lobotomy and become an idiot who cannot take care of himself. They will all be greatly affected, and the vast majority of people without ID cards will be branded as smugglers and put in prison, either waiting for one day to be deported home, or dying alone in prison.

The reason why these and Joshua's earth are different is because of a small nuclear explosion that occurred in a small town in Kansas two years ago.

The nuclear explosion that made everyone in the world keep secret almost destroyed the whole town. A prosperous and ordinary town full of golden wheat and corn disappeared in an instant, leaving only a stretch of several counties. There are hundreds of miles of dilapidated ruins and bones, as well as the soil that will continue to radiate nuclear radiation on that land for hundreds of years.

Since then, the whole world has been turned upside down, and the Justice League and the Avengers joined hands to control the United Nations. Except that the United Nations has completely changed from an organization without real power to the most powerful world government capable of supervising all countries, Stark The group and Wayne Enterprises have even developed batches of mechanical policemen and put them in various cities to wipe out all the crimes that are happening or still brewing.

Joshua is all too familiar with the humble town that caused all these changes.

That was Smallville.

Joshua didn't want to think about the various reasons. He could even guess something by listening to the bits and pieces of information he obtained. Joshua didn't even know that the blue gemstone in his pocket was actually the Rubik's Cube yesterday. After being in a daze for so long, he sat on the sofa in a daze all afternoon, until Tony, who was hungry and growling, pushed open the door and came out.

Joshua was still holding the remote control in his hand, he turned his head to look at Tony when he heard the sound, and the two looked at each other for a moment under the dim sunset.

Joshua: "So the Joshua of this world is dead?"

Tony's face changed slightly because of Joshua's words, but he still answered Joshua's question calmly: "Yes, but you are still alive, aren't you?"

Joshua didn't answer, he just stood up from the sofa silently, opened the refrigerator in the house to find something for his hungry brother who was growling, but the refrigerator was empty, leaving only half a pizza and Several cans of black coffee.

That coffee was still what Bruce used to pick himself up at night.

Joshua wanted to go for a walk, and the empty refrigerator was the best excuse.

He closed the refrigerator door, pulled on his coat, and zipped it all the way to the top of the collar.

"I'm going out to buy some food," Joshua said to Tony, not forgetting to grab his wallet when he walked to the door.

Relaxation is one aspect, and food still needs to be bought.

However, Tony stopped Joshua, found out the cosmetics that the previous tenant had not taken away, and made a simple disguise for Joshua.

Joshua is okay, but Tony and Bruce are different. They always need to use some cosmetics to cover their real appearance when they go out, otherwise they will be spotted by the patrolling mechanical police when they go out on the street. How similar are the faces in the central computer database that are classified as top-secret files.

"Be careful to avoid those robots." Finally, after bringing a pair of sunglasses to Joshua's face, Tony rubbed Joshua's blond hair, only to reveal that he was a teenager who was more than ten years older than Joshua. Brother's appearance: "Don't let them take pictures of your face."

Joshua pushed the frame, which was too big for him, with his fingers, then nodded silently.

"Click-"

The opened door was closed, and Joshua walked out of the room wearing a gray-blue coat.

Tony rubbed his eyebrows, and rarely wanted to sigh less than Stark.

There was another sound of the door opening, and Bruce leaned against the doorframe of his own room, with thick dark circles under his steel-blue eyes.

"You let him out like this?"

Tony sneered, "What else? Bats?"

"He didn't let him out this time, and there will be a next time. Sooner or later, he will know what happened in this world, unless we make a teleporter to leave this earth now."

The TV that hadn't been turned off was loudly playing old TV dramas, and then the channel changed and the news came on.

"Stark Enterprises launched a new type of guard robot today. This new type of robot is not only equipped with a firepower device comparable to a small arsenal, but can also subdue a strong adult man in a few seconds. Bone scans to find out some fugitives trying to hide in society through plastic surgery and so on..."

In the news, the well-dressed "Tony Stark" answered questions one after another with ease in the face of the swarming reporters. He even laughed out loud when he talked about interesting things.

But Tony didn't smile.

He looked at the other self on TV and let out a sneer of disgust from his nasal cavity.

Outside the house was dry air with a dusty smell, and the dim yellow sunset sprinkled on the road full of yellow sand, making this small town on the border look extraordinarily desolate and peaceful.

Joshua covered half of his face with a raised collar. Tony not only painted his fair face with dark liquid foundation, but also drew two thick and thick eyebrows with a black eyebrow pencil. His appearance can't be kept the same under such a mess of inferior cosmetics, and in an instant, a delicate and beautiful blond youth becomes an ordinary person who looks ordinary and even a little ugly.

But Joshua didn't care. When he walked to the supermarket in this small town, he bought some vegetables, canned meat, and instant pizza. When he passed the counter full of beer, Joshua stared at the goods. Rows of beer on the shelf, still reached for two cans of beer.

He knows that he can't drink enough, but sometimes alcohol can really solve a thousand worries when drunk.

Walking aimlessly on the street with a bag full of things, Joshua stopped and stopped, and finally sat on a bench by the side of the road.

The steaming beer was opened by Joshua, put it in his mouth, and took several sips. The cold and slightly bitter wine flowed down his throat into Joshua's stomach, which made his tense nerves a little bit Relax.

Even a darker liquid foundation can't completely cover up the pink that appears under Joshua's cheeks.

He leaned on the bench and shook his legs like a child, remembering what he saw on the news about the nuclear explosion in Smallville two years ago.

This world is strange yet familiar. When Joshua looked at those mechanical policemen and thought of the admiration and awe in the eyes of the people around when they discussed Superman, he finally remembered a dream he had just had not long ago about this world.

In the dream, Clark's body is getting stronger and stronger, but his eyes are getting old.

He couldn't help thinking, if Clark and the others hadn't rushed to the scene in time to save himself and Martha, if the clown hadn't tied TNT to himself, but had dropped a nuclear bomb on Smallville, would his own earth be Will it be like the earth in this world, surrounded by countless mechanical police two years later, the Justice League and the Avengers joined forces to control the entire world?

That's very possible.

So Joshua was a little thankful that at least his own Clark hadn't really lost him.

Even though he knew that the Clark in this world was not his Clark, Joshua still felt a bit of unspeakable sadness from the bottom of his heart.

But like the Superman he saw on Halloween, Joshua felt sorry for them, but he didn't want to see the Clark of this world, and he didn't want to give them hope.

Because having it and losing it hurts more than never having it at all.

Gudu Gudu drank the last drop of wine in the jar, Joshua looked at the sun gradually sinking below the horizon, hesitated for a long time and still did not open the second jar.

After all, he still has two "kids" who can't cook and need to take care of them, and he can't do anything after drinking too much.

At this time, Joshua, who had been drinking, was exceptionally sober.

Just when Joshua put the can of beer in the bag and was about to walk to the rented house with the shopping bag in hand, a black figure rushed out of the grocery store on the street within two steps. , followed by the hoarse shout of the owner of the grocery store: "It's a robbery——!"

Joshua paused, looked at the empty beer can in his hand that was about to be thrown into the trash can, and at the figure of the person not far away from him, he hesitated for a moment, then waved his arms fiercely Throwing an empty wine can over the head of the fleeing man.

The man who was hit by the beer can staggered, and in the next second, four or five mechanical police officers who were patrolling came from all directions.

They all caught the hoarse cry of the shopkeeper.

Seeing the oncoming robots, the fleeing people sped up their speed even more, trying to hide in a remote alley to escape, but how could the speed of a human compare to a specially developed machine?

In less than 2 minutes, the mechanical policeman, who flashed red light to warn the robber to stop, stretched out his tentacles to subdue the robber after the warning failed. Several robots surrounded him, unable to even struggle.

Joshua could see clearly, he tightly held the shopping bag tightly, and quietly took two steps back.

He still remembered that when he was going out, Tony told him not to be photographed by those mechanical policemen, so after taking two steps back and not realizing that the mechanical policemen had the intention of pointing the camera at him, he turned his head and wanted to leave quietly and quickly.

Hearing the noise, more and more pedestrians ran out on the street. Joshua pulled up his collar and lowered his head to walk through the crowd. Then, he heard shouts of surprise from around him.

"It's Superman—"

"Why is Superman here?"

Joshua's heartbeat stopped for half a beat involuntarily. He restrained his accelerated heartbeat and looked at it with a look of surprise like the people around him. He didn't dare to show his uniqueness, because he knew that the superman on this earth relied on With my superb eyesight, I will definitely spot a pedestrian walking against the current in the crowd.

For some reason, the Superman who came here slowly landed from mid-air, and then stopped beside the people surrounded by mechanical police.

"Take it to the nearest police station and the officers there will know what to do."

The voice of Superman in the white uniform was cold, and the white cloak behind him was not stained with dust.

Compared with the title of Son of Light, he is more like a cold stone statue.

After saying this, Superman was about to leave. Two years ago, he rarely stayed in one place for more than 2 minutes. Just before he left, Carl turned and glanced at the passers-by who were not far or near him. Shuya was a little guilty, silently lowered his head and backed away in a panic like the people around him. He prayed that he would not be discovered by the superman of this world.

However, reality did not develop as he expected.

Carl, who just glanced at the crowd at random, suddenly froze when he glanced at a person in a gray-blue coat in the crowd. He thought he had made a mistake, but when he looked again, it was still the same picture he had when he dreamed back at midnight. That face that came to mind repeatedly.

He held his breath involuntarily, almost thinking that the enemy had created an extremely clumsy joke for him.

Almost instantly, Carl stood on tiptoe and flew through the crowd to Joshua's side in an instant. He grabbed Joshua's arm and pulled off his hat and sunglasses.

The cheap and rough cosmetics were easily seen by Karl. He stretched out his hand and carefully wiped off the things on Joshua's face, revealing the original face hidden under the cosmetics.

Cal couldn't help murmuring as he wiped off the last bit of dark foundation.

"Joshua..."

Joshua let go of his hand, and the things in his arms fell to the ground. Another can of beer that hit the ground cracked a small opening, and a light yellow bubble liquid gurgled out from the small opening, exuding a little fragrance of wheat.
