When the Super British Ruled the Earth[British and American]

After getting off the plane and entering the urban area, Celia strongly felt the huge difference between the metropolis and the ordinary state.

First of all, it is more prosperous than imagined, and there are many luxury cars on the street and fashionable passersby wearing famous brands on the road.Xilia lived in an ordinary town for a long time, and suddenly came to such a big city, she just felt that her ears and eyes were filled with novel things.

And most notably, the streets of Washington DC are covered in superhero elements.If there are three superhero-related stores in the entire city where she lives, then almost every street here will have superhero-related stores.There are Chaoying graffiti on the street, and passers-by also have a lot of Chaoying elements on their bodies.

There is a feeling...it really is a superhero base.

However, judging from the road, the three most popular heroes in Washington should be Captain America, Iron Man, and Superman.

But it also makes sense, these three heroes are the most famous, and it is normal for them to be popular.

Celia looked around in amazement, and Michelle thought her appearance was much cuter than the attitude she had in school, so she let her wait on the street alone, and went into a store by herself.Not long after, she came out and stuffed something to Xilia.

"It's for you."

Celia looked down, and Michelle stuffed her with a superman doll, soft.

"Congratulations on coming to the big city." Michelle said.

However, the gift could not stop her curiosity. It was not until Michelle reluctantly pulled her to the hotel that Celia finally restrained her excitement like a countryman entering the city.

"Why didn't I see that you are such a lively person before?" Michelle said helplessly, "You have locked yourself in a small place for too long, you should save your energy, New York is more prosperous than Washington, enough for you Excited."

The two rested for a while in the hotel.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a ceremony to commemorate the Justice League will be held in the square.The two girls lived a little far away—because the hotel near the square was already booked out.So they start changing at noon.All those who voluntarily participate in the memorial service will wear dark clothes to show their grandeur, and they are not surprised.

Celia changed her denim shorts and put on a black long-sleeved top and trousers.

After Michelle also changed, the two left the hotel.Surprisingly, Xilia's eyes were almost filled with black.

From twelve o'clock, traffic was stopped in several blocks near the Stele Square - because there were too many people.More and more people wearing dark clothes gathered from all directions, as if the tide was endless.

Xi Liya looked up, and there was a sea of ​​people in the whole street, almost all of them walked forward slowly and solemnly, and there was no one who was going against the road.

The two girls looked at each other, they walked into the crowd, and walked slowly towards the square with everyone.

Once again, Celia strongly felt the difference between the two cities.The sadness and heaviness of the citizens of Washington is even more oppressive. They are the people who have actually seen superheroes and shared the city with them.The 'television star' heroes who for backcountry could only see on the news, to the people of Washington, were real in their lives.

Although Xilia didn't understand much, she was infected by this atmosphere, and she also lowered her head and walked forward quietly.

Gradually, the pace of the person in front became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely.

Celia raised her head, and her breath was stagnant because of the spectacular scene in front of her eyes—the entire huge square, the adjacent streets, and even the buildings on both sides that could go up to the top floor were densely packed with people.Looking around, the entire area is filled with black, like dark clouds.

In this sea of ​​black, only the stone tablet at the end of the square in the distance is gray. This cool color seems to make the weather look gloomy.

Celia vaguely saw that on both sides of the stele were carved statues of the heroes of the Justice League. They stood majestically on both sides, as if they were still guarding the names of them and the people who lost their lives engraved on the stele.

As for Xilia and Michelle, they didn't even touch the edge of the square, so they could only look at each other from a distance on the road.

It was only 10:[-] when the two arrived here.Tens of thousands of people stood in silence like this, and no one spoke for a full five or ten minutes, until the memorial service at two o'clock began.

People silently and orderly lit the candles in their hands, watching the mayor of Washington step up to the podium in front of the stele.

"Today, everyone is gathered here for the same purpose - to commemorate the superheroes who died five years ago." The mayor of Washington said solemnly, "We are not just commemorating a certain person, but all the famous superheroes." There are unsung, unsung heroes... Some of them are talented, some are unknown, but they are all guarding the world in their own way."

"We used to have superheroes, and we used to share the city with them, watch their backs, and be saved by them. Now, superheroes are gone, but their beliefs and the power they gave us will never disappear."

The mayor wanted to continue to say something, but he stared at the manuscript, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.It seems that I don't want to miss it anymore.

He took a deep breath and closed the manuscript on the podium.He raised his head and looked directly at the thousands of citizens.

“When superheroes are around, we blame them for all the misfortunes we encounter. Security issues, political issues, philosophical issues—humans have always been very critical of heroes. But when superheroes disappear, the world becomes a lot more Okay?" He said, "No. The problems that should exist are still there. Because what needs to change is our entire country, all of us, not superheroes!"

After a pause, he said wearily, "The loss of Chaoying is a tragedy for the entire human society."

"However, beyond self-examination. I think the heroes want everyone to remember the strength we once got from them: to be better people, always have confidence in this world."

"A hero never refers to a particular person. It refers to a belief that anyone who has helped others and the society is a hero."

"May all superheroes rest in peace, amen."

Celia heard Michelle murmuring in a low voice, "When mankind completely lost superheroes, people began to realize that they had fallen in love with them. ... But, it was a bit too late."

Celia held a candle, and she watched some families of heroes give speeches, but she began to feel confused in her heart.An indescribable emotion was slowly spreading to her heart.

She seems to have been less capable of empathy than others since birth.She saw Michelle bowed her head, suppressing a sad expression.She knew that Michelle was sad not only for the Spider-Man she had a crush on, but also for all the superheroes who had left.

There are tens of thousands of people in the square and streets, with different professions, ages and skin colors, but their sorrow is the same.The common memory of Chaoying connects everyone.

Without the sense of participation, Celia seemed to be separated from them by a thin layer of cloth.She couldn't help thinking confusedly—is it her regret that she grew up in a peaceful town and missed all the superheroes?

To be loved by so many people, those people must be very attractive.

Celia raised her head to look at the statues erected beside the stele.

In the middle of the statue, Superman's deep and solemn eyes stared straight into her eyes from a long distance across the black ocean.
