The result of the first meeting was such a mess.Celia blocked him with what Clark had said, making him helpless.Superman walked away in despair.Both Barry and Celia thought he had returned to the North Pole, but in fact, he returned to his rented house in the Metropolis.

All superheroes have some degree of control, and Superman and Tony are two of the more serious ones.Both the Avengers and the Justice League have similar models, with Bruce and Bucky and Black Widow in charge of administrative matters, while Clark and Tony oversee on a larger scale.Oh, yes... Bucky belongs to Hydra, but he and the Avengers are too close, so other organizations always see James and the Avengers as a team.

However, most of Bucky's forces and custody areas are in Europe, and the Black Widow still manages more in the United States.

In short, Superman is very controlling - this is the case before Celia's arrival.He had a very orderly and harmonious fantasy about this world in his heart, and he also turned this fantasy into reality.

He likes everything to be in order, disciplined and regular.

However, Celia is the exact opposite of all this. She is so unpredictable, and this uncontrollable feeling makes Superman feel upset and irritable. Moreover, she blocks her own heartbeat.This feeling of being completely out of control made him very irritable.

Superman's irritability didn't last long, as the Metropolitan's superhuman officials came to report the matter that Superman had asked him to investigate.

In the living room, Superman picked up two cups of tea, and when he turned his head, he saw this superhuman official, who was about his age, sitting upright on the seat, but his trembling expression revealed his nervousness.

oh.right.Superman had almost forgotten how much normal people were afraid of him.

He came to sit opposite him, and the official named Sam immediately straightened his body again.

"What did you find?"

What Clark asked him to check was a sentence that Silia had accidentally said when he was playing a game with a human high school student.The child said that he knew a person who could fake the identity of a superhuman or a human being, and it was an eradication and overwriting method that the system could not find.

According to the superhuman system, Superman is the boss of the boss of the mayor-level official in this metropolis multiplied by several bosses, so you can imagine how horrified he was when he received a call from Superman, especially about this kind of and huge He immediately stopped other things to investigate the accountability related to negligence.

"We started with this high school student, investigated all the way, and finally found that he had contacts with some people with low credit scores in society." Official Tom said, "However, this matter has nothing to do with these low-scoring people. Through the cross-checking of their and several other people's relationship networks, new discoveries were made, and this investigation took us two days..."

He still wanted to report everything in detail, but Superman's thin eyes had already stared at his eyes, and he suddenly stopped breathing.

Why is Superman still so scary in ordinary people's clothes?

"I want to hear the result." Then, he heard Superman say flatly.

It feels like Superman is even scarier! !

"...Okay." Tom said with a deep breath, "In short, after various twists and turns, we finally found the person the high school students said, and it was him."

A holographic projection photo appeared in front of the two of them. This person was about 50 to [-] years old, but he was well-proportioned and had a very ordinary appearance, the kind that could not be found in the crowd.

"We found out that this man was secretly doing the business of changing certificates. He had very high requirements, requiring the other party to have no criminal record, and a credit score of 80 or more, and that the other party had not been annotated by any content within three months," Tom said. , "The first two are easy to achieve, because people who can live in the city basically have no criminal records. But the third requirement... even running a red light, throwing garbage anywhere, and recording things on the Internet must be clean."

These three requirements are relatively easy for law-abiding citizens, but even ninety percent of the citizens will definitely be recorded for some trivial things that they don’t pay attention to. It will be deleted automatically after one month.

However, these three high requirements are also very incredible.What is the driving force for a person who is a good example of a citizen to change his identity?

"Can you find out who he's been dealing with?" Clark asked.

"No way," said Tom.Seeing Superman's expression immediately sank, he hurriedly said, "His threshold is very high just for safety. Our system has relatively loose supervision on citizens with a score of 80 or above, and we haven't found out how he operates it yet." Yes... Sir, there are [-] million people in the United States now, and the information of these people is stored in the super intelligent system that Mr. Wayne and Mr. Stark cooperated. Even so, the [-] million people are recorded in detail every day Down, it's still impossible...so..."

"So as long as he successfully operates, there will be no trace at all." Superman said in a deep voice, "So we don't even know how many people have changed their identities through this, do we?"

"Yes, unless they show themselves, or..."

"what?"

"Now the identity information of humans and superhumans are certificates and fingerprints, unless blood DNA information is added later." Tom said, "But this is a big project, and if the other party finds out, it may be a warning to make them do it earlier. Get ready. After all, this person, or this team, must be extremely smart to be able to pass the inspection of the detectors and robot police.”

Superman narrowed his eyes slowly.

"So, there was a bug in our system that we didn't know about until now."

"……Yes, sir."

"Go and monitor this person, who he met every day while monitoring him." Superman said in a deep voice, "Also, check the entire metropolis, from children to the elderly, everyone's information must be checked!"

"Yes, I have estimated that it will take at least half a month to check all the citizens of the metropolis." Tom said, "In order to prevent the system from making mistakes, it must be manually reviewed..."

"Seven days," said Superman. "Any questions?"

--Yes, I have!Yes, I have!The problem is so big!Seven days without eating or sleeping may not be able to complete the review.Tom groaned inwardly.

But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "No problem."

Clark nodded, indicating that he could go.

Tom got up, and after he said good-bye, he walked toward the gate, took two steps, and stopped again.He turned around and was silent for a while.

In the end, he couldn't help but said, "Sir, there is no perfect machine in this world. With all due respect, even AI Jarvis cannot be omnipotent..."

"What do you want to say?" Clark asked quietly.

"It's nothing, I will try my best to investigate." Tom hesitated to speak, and finally said helplessly.

As long as it is a machine, there will be problems. If this problem is blocked, there will be endless problems in the future.Therefore, he had a premonition in his heart that this matter would not end like this.

But his authority is limited, and the rest is beyond his concern.

After the officials left, Superman called Bruce again, and this time Bruce answered quickly.

"I know everything." He said, "This matter is not serious enough for you and me to take action."

"how do you want to do it?"

"If you're really worried, you can ask Jarvis to investigate." Bruce said, "But I think, since the credit scores of these people who have changed their identities are all above [-], maybe there is no need to be so nervous."

"Bruce, you mean—" Clark frowned.

"Now all the hidden crisis personnel are in our hands." Bruce said, "Those who buy and sell identities also know that people with low reputation will be targeted, and people with low reputation are already on the list, so it is impossible Raising the score without authorization. So people who switch identities can be sure that at least most of them are good people. I just think...we can not treat criminals for a while."

"No, people with forged identities must not be allowed to mix in circles that do not belong to him." Superman refused.

Bruce hesitated to speak.

"But, do you remember, Clark. Fifteen years ago, in order to separate everyone, we forced some residents to move." Bruce's tone eased, and he comforted, "Look, maybe Are those people who changed their identities just homesick? Even you can't help but go back to your hometown after so many years, let alone an ordinary person?"

After a moment of silence, Superman said in a low voice, "Okay. Then this matter..."

"As before, leave it to me." Bruce sighed.

After hanging up the phone, the moon outside the window had already risen.

Clark sat by the window, and the moonlight gradually shone into the room, enveloping him.Superman was silent, also troubled.

Over the past few years, a new order has been built on top of old wars.He and all the allied superheroes build a huge new ant nest like ants.Those small policies are gradually superimposed from the subtleties. After several years of chaos and several years of stability, they have reached the point where they are now so perfect.

Superman always thought that the operating system of the world state they built together would become more and more stable, just like in the past few years.But unexpectedly, after only a few years of stability and peace, many new problems have begun to appear now.

...It seems that everything started when Thanos invaded the earth and broke the silence that had been maintained for several years, and troubles, big and small, gradually surfaced.

A dozen or so people are at the top, and even if a whole root diagram of superhuman rights is spread out from top to bottom, it is too laborious to maintain a whole planet.

Even so, Superman still never thought of returning part of the power to the US government and the World Federation-15 years ago, when these human authorities decided to detain all superhuman relatives and friends in a delusional attempt to control all superheroes, It has pushed them to a situation that can never be reconciled.

It was humans that first caused WW[-], it was humans that pushed them and all mutants, mutants, etc. superhumans into the hostile camp.It was the human beings who began to use the media to guide the public opinion offensive and attack all superhuman beings in the middle and late stages of the uncontrollable war.

Man has inescapable responsibility for the cause of his parents' death.

Superman has been disheartened since then, he will still protect human beings, and will never trust human beings again, never.

In deep thought, he couldn't help but think of Celia again.This alien girl who thinks outside the box.What would she say if she were there?Will she comfort him?

No, she won't.

Superman knows why she can't have feelings for the homeland, because she takes the universe as her home, and the world in her eyes is not a certain planet, but the entire galaxy.

She won't care about the battle between humans and superhumans, nor will she criticize or support his behavior, because these are irrelevant to Silia.In the entire universe, the civilization of a planet is really insignificant, isn't it?

Today's developed planets in the solar system, those civilizations that began to trade and communicate in space, have entered the cosmic culture from a single world.Perhaps for her, human beings are a strange combination of backward and advanced.

Perhaps when the earth also enters the cosmic culture, the policies on the earth will move towards a future that no one can predict.However, the development will definitely bring in external risks, which is why the earth has not opened the defense line of the solar system for a long time.

Clark thought a lot, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't accurately understand how human beings should develop next.

For three whole days, including now, he has been in a mixed mood.

At this moment, he realized a fact that he had never realized before - he had been changed by Xilia.

It's not just that Celia feels safe near him, but Superman is also used to having an extraterrestrial young girl by his side before he knows it.The sense of security of mutual understanding was not given to Xilia unilaterally by him. In fact, they have always been two-way to each other.

...So, what was he resisting in the first place?

What he resists is his own change, the future that he cannot fully grasp again.Just like his expectations for this world, he hopes that the peace on earth will never change. Perhaps, this is also a bit difficult.

It just occurred to him that since Xilia is still angry and blatantly scolds him, doesn't that also mean that she treats him differently?After thinking about this, Superman had the urge to find Helia again.

But no, it's too late today.

Clark closed his eyes, he still didn't hear the familiar heartbeat.

Just take a look.Just look, he said to himself, and see what she's doing—

……

In the evening, after learning how to play board games with Barry and losing five times, Celia and Barry came to the kitchen. The two had just played a game related to food, and now they were about to cook with great interest.Barry claimed to teach Celia to make cakes. Celia looked at the white flour, why did she always have an inexplicable urge to sprinkle it?

While Celia was struggling with herself, Barry rubbed a little flour on her face without paying attention——Celia couldn't catch anyone if she wanted to, and Barry ran all over the kitchen with afterimages.

Celia couldn't help laughing.She can perceive a person's most subtle mood and magnetic field, and she can feel that this big boy is really lively and kind, sincere, like a little sun.He never hides his thoughts, and he is always happy to have someone to play with.

Barry is so honest.

——It's not the same as a fickle big guy who doesn't cook well and is always depressed and irritable!Celia hummed softly in her heart.Her hands didn't stop, and when Barry was still sprinting, she was distracted, and subconsciously overturned the whole bag of flour with both hands, and swung it accurately on Barry's head.

Barry stopped and ran quickly, his hair and face turned white instantly, and when he opened his mouth, flour was sprayed from his nose and mouth.

"...Remember to remind me, next time I will never play with you magicians again." He sprayed white flour, "You sprinkled all the flour, what shall we have for dinner tonight?"

"Eat takeaway?" Celia suggested.She couldn't help but raised her hand to wipe Barry's face, and Barry showed a weak smile under the cover of flour.

"Okay," Barry said, still in good spirits, "but wait, I'm going to take a shower."

Barry leaves.Seeing that there was still a small pile of flour left on the ground, Celia squatted down, humming, and happily grabbed the flour to play.

She just missed the distorted angle of the next-door neighbor's camera beyond the kitchen window.
