The life in Gotham is not too uncomfortable for Garhold. He picked up trash and ate in Gotham when he was very young. Only the residents of Gotham know that Gotham is not a complete hell on earth. Well, not every street has homicides, robberies, things like that happening all the time.

It's just that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the situation on each island of Gotham is different, which makes Gotham's reputation outside the world extremely demonized.

But all Gotham people have a common sense, that is, after the sun goes down and the night comes, this place will be ruled by the real darkness of Gotham.No one can stop the darkness from coming.

When Clark sneaked into Gotham after dinner, he could always use his keen hearing and clairvoyance to see the crimes happening in the darkness of Gotham.This kind of evil is a bit too early for a child who has not yet grown up, and it is difficult for Clark not to look at the uncomfortable sight.

The dejected man in the alley stabbed the needle into his arm while lying on the ground whimpering in pain.Several scantily clad women are wearily showing themselves to passers-by.A few homeless men sprayed blood-red paint on their faces with spray paint, roaring and running crazily on the street.

It was hard for Clark to understand why these people did such a thing. He flew to Garhold's apartment, pulled the window and asked Garhold to open the window for him, sat on the small sofa that his brother had just bought, holding a stuffed toy His hot cocoa threw the question in his heart to Garhold.

Garhold was silent for a rare time. They protected Clark too well, and the worst thing the boy experienced since he was a child was nothing more than school bullying.But Garhold knew that if Clark wanted to grow up, he would naturally need to know the filth and gloom that could not be seen in the darkness.

Garhold made himself a cup of coffee, crazily added sugar and milk to it, and sat next to Clark with a cup in his hand. The boys held their cups and sat together talking to the broken TV that Garhold had just bought.

"Clark, there is something in this world that even your clairvoyant eyes can't see through, and that is the human heart." Garhold touched the boy's sluggish head, "Your superpowers are omnipotent, but you still can't see through them." You can’t have the ability to read people’s minds.”

Clark took a sip of hot cocoa. What he saw just now was like a needle, which made him feel uncomfortable. An inexplicable emotion rushed into his heart. His heart told him that he should help them and save them. .

"Perhaps you may gain this ability in the future, but Clark, I still want to remind you," Garhold's tone sounded unexpectedly serious, "Don't trust anyone easily, even if you have been able to read other people's minds."

"……But……"

"Dad told you to learn to trust others, and Mom told you to treat others kindly. These are not wrong Clark." Garhold looked at the boy who was particularly entangled in human nature in front of him. He was obviously a child of an alien. The brilliance is brighter than anyone else.

"You are very strong, no one can hurt you, but it doesn't mean your heart won't be hurt."

"After a person's heart is injured, he may become decadent, he may lose the will to live, or he may become angry and madly revenge the root cause of his injury."

"I know Clarke, you have a great sense of justice and you like justice, which is a good thing. But the road you choose must be a road of endless suffering, so you may also lose your original intention. I hope you don't end up It will become like those people you see." Garhod said earnestly, he is not a saint, he can't save everyone, so he only hopes that his brother can live in the way that suits him best.

"I don't want to see Clark working as a cowherd in a small roadside shop in the future." Perhaps the topic was too heavy, and Garhold finally jokingly eased the atmosphere. "At that time, don't let your brother and I enter the store to redeem you."

Clark was silent for a while, took another sip of hot cocoa, and finally stretched his head and muttered, "I'm not going to be a cowherd..." But at this moment, he has thought through a lot, and the goal ahead is also very clear.

"Gal, I want to use my ability to help others." He looked at the TV broadcasting the news, and sirens came from the window behind him, and the night in Gotham has never been peaceful. "I felt like it made sense that I was sent to Earth."

"Of course it makes sense, my good brother." Garhold touched his head as he did when he was a child, "I believe you can find the future that suits you best."

"I will help you move towards that future." Garhold said so, and suddenly the landline phone hanging on the wall rang, and Garhold got up to answer, and Martha's somewhat angry voice came from the other end of the phone, "Gar, Did Clark fly to your side?"

Garhold looked back at Clark, who was sitting on the sofa and winked at him desperately, and replied with a forced smile, "Yes, Mom, what's wrong?"

"Gal—" Clark wailed resentfully.

"This Clark... Lana came to ask him to borrow books!" Martha sighed, "You tell him to come back quickly, I told the little girl that Clark is taking a bath, and they are still waiting for him."

"Okay mom," Garhold said after answering the phone, facing Clark's resentful eyes, and said gloatingly, "Did you hear that, mom told you to go back quickly."

Then he asked with another gossip, "Hey Clark, how are you and Lana?"

"What's wrong?" Clark looked puzzled.

"You are not in the same class, and people still ask you to borrow books? Come on, you are 16 years old, how can nothing happen?" Garhold showed an expression that I understand, and he patted Clark shoulder, said like a good buddy, "I'm your brother, don't keep it from me."

Clark paused in his mind for a while, and finally realized what Garhold was talking about, his face flushed immediately, he hurriedly explained, and almost spilled the cup in his hand. "I don't have anything okay? Lana and I are just friends, she's my best friend! I'm not going to think about that!"

Garhold laughed out loud when he saw the shy boy, and he poked the boy's chest with his finger, "Then our pure cowboys will always have a love affair? At that time, you have to let your brother check it out ?”

Clark stood up with a blushing face, hesitated for a long time without speaking, opened the window and flew out.Watching the boy disappear into the Gotham night, Garhold smiled helplessly and sighed, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, then put it down with a frown. "so bitter……"

Clark blew a high-speed cold wind in the air for 2 minutes. By the time he landed at the window of his room, his flushed cheeks had faded away. Lana was still downstairs, and Martha was entertaining her with snacks.

Clark tidied up his wind-blown hair and collar, dipped some water in the bathroom, wiped it on his hair, and went downstairs as if he had just taken a shower.

"Hey Mom, Lana, good evening." Clark looked at Martha, who was not very happy, and smiled awkwardly. Lana was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and she greeted Clark when she saw Clark, " Hey Clark, can you lend me your science textbook? My book was accidentally eaten by a cow in the cowshed, and I have to figure out a way to do my homework first."

Clark was so confused by this excuse that he didn't know what to say, but Lana winked at him, indicating that she had something to say to him, so Clark could only lead Lana upstairs under Martha's teasing eyes.

Since Garhold moved to Gotham, Jonathan replaced the bunk beds in Clark's room with a large bed that can sleep two adults. There are still many things about Garhold in the room, and Clark has none of them. Willing to put it away.

This was the first time a girl had entered his and Galhold's room. Clark looked a little cautious. He led Lana to the bookcase, took out his science textbook and handed it over.

Lana returned the textbook, took out a stack of papers from her backpack and said with a smile, "I brought you the homework you skipped yesterday, and Mr. John said that if you didn't finish it tomorrow, you will have to clean the toilet." , I guess you dare not tell Aunt Martha, so I thought of coming to tell you."

Clark scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "Thank you, Lana, I'm lucky to have you."

He took the homework and glanced at Lana standing in front of him while reading the homework. She was wearing a white cotton shirt with a black sweater on the outside, a pair of black jeans and black sneakers underneath.The hair is loosely scattered on both sides, looking youthful and beautiful.

Clark thought of Garhold's words, and unconsciously recalled Garhold's appearance in his heart.

Gal is taller, his hair is hard and tangled, and he always likes to wrap himself tightly in a black suit.Usually he is always the one who speaks the least, but after falling asleep, he always likes to curl up under the quilt and talk in his sleep. He always frowns at school and looks very unhappy.At home, he always smiles, and when he eats something sweet, his eyes will narrow with satisfaction.

"Why am I comparing Gal and Lana?" Clark felt a strange feeling in his heart, his face became hot instantly, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.

"Hey Clark, why are you blushing?" Lana looked up just in time to see Clark with his head down and blushing, and asked suspiciously. She glanced at the books on the table and remembered that he skipped class for no reason yesterday, and asked, " Did you get into trouble again?"

"No, no, no, I didn't cause trouble!" Clark quickly explained, "I just ran to the town yesterday to send a letter to my brother."

"No trouble?" Lana looked suspiciously at Clark's face, and Clark nodded sharply. His expression was too serious, and he didn't seem to be lying at all.

Seeing Clark's appearance, Lana breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Clark would learn badly from those bad boys. After completing her task, Lana told Clark to do his homework and then went back.

Clark breathed a sigh of relief when he was the only one left in the room.He closed the door and window, and then lay down on the bed.Martha opened the door and came in, her tone was a little angry, "Clark, you sneaked to Gal's place."

Clark lay on the bed and wrapped himself up, only showing a small head and said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry Mom, I just went to see Cal, you know, I only need a few minutes to run there."

Martha sighed, "Okay, I understand, you can go and see Gal, but you must, don't be seen by others."

"I know, that's what Gal said!" Clark nodded heavily, and Martha shook her head when she saw this, "Oh, by the way, remember to bring Gal's favorite bagel with you when you go to see Gal tomorrow night , I don’t know if Gotham has sold it.”

"Yes! I see!" Clark responded obediently, and Martha nodded and turned to leave. When she was about to leave the house, she still asked worriedly, "Be sure not to be discovered by others, and remember to wear a hat. "

When Martha walked away, Clark turned over and lay down on the bed. He buried his face in the pillow, when he heard rustling sounds from outside the window.

Clark turned over abruptly and got up, pulled the curtain up, and then tiptoed towards the window sill. He stretched out his right hand and opened the curtain to look out the window, and a large piece of snow-white fur rushed in.

This is a white shepherd dog with its tail curling around Clark's arm. When it saw Clark's face, it immediately licked Clark with its tongue frantically. Its tail shook like a small helicopter. Clark was surprised. What exactly is this puppy? How did you jump in from the window on the second floor.

Soon Clark knew the reason. The puppy flew up. Clark rubbed his eyes in shock to confirm that he was not mistaken. The puppy showed an extremely humane expression, and he made a backlash towards Clark in the air. somersault.

The puppy put one paw on the window, raised its other paw, motioned for Clark to follow, and then flew out.

Unbelievable that a dog could do such human-like movements, Clark pinched his thigh, realized he wasn't dreaming, and stepped off the ledge and flew out.

The collie circled around Clark. He was so excited that he barked in a low voice, and then looked into the distance. Clark felt as if he understood his words, and the dog pulled him over the small Clarke felt as if he had flown out of the United States until he reached a small hill.

At this moment the barking of the shepherd dog stopped suddenly, and he flew to the top of the hill, and took a branch in his beak.

"Where are you taking me?" Clark asked curiously. The shepherd shook its nostrils vigorously, as if answering Clark's words, then it put the branch down and tore off a piece of fabric. It's a red cape.

Clark landed beside him, watching the dog pick up the dirt bag, he was full of doubts, but the dog brought too many doubts to him, he leaned down to help pick up the pile of dirt on the ground, probably digging down About ten meters, just when Clark wondered if the dog was playing with him.His fingers touched something other than dirt.

Clark looked at the metal-textured plane under his fingers, and he was a little surprised to scrape away the surrounding soil clods.He dug very fast, and the small mound quickly became what he originally looked like... a round spaceship exactly like his farm.

Clark was both pleasantly surprised and nervous. The shepherd on the side rested his paws on the most conspicuous "S" logo on the spaceship. The glare shone under his paws. Afterwards, the shell of the spaceship slowly opened, and the inside was empty. There was only one space left to sit in.

Clark was a little disappointed, but the dog on the side was even more excited. He kept barking loudly at Clark's feet and tugged at the hem of Clark's clothes. The collar is on the seat.

"Is this yours?" Clark picked up the collar and shook it, and the shepherd immediately wagged its tail excitedly, "Is this spaceship yours too?"

Gouzi nodded, he stretched his neck to signal Clark to put it on himself, and Clark put the collar on Gouzi's neck, he was still very puzzled, "Your spaceship is like the one in my house... Where did you come from? here?"

The dog couldn't speak, he could only whine and shake his head, which had just been put on a collar.

Clark looked at the dog's collar, then at the spaceship, and asked the question he wanted to know the most, "Are you and I... from the same place?"

Gouzi looked like you finally asked, and nodded happily.

Clark was suddenly excited. He hugged the dog and circled under the pit.This is a creature from the same planet as him. Although he still doesn't know where he came from, the appearance of this dog has brought him more hope.

After much thought, Clark decided to take the spaceship and the dog home.
