The elevator stopped after reaching the top floor. Brody led Angel out and saw a person standing not far away.

Before he could ask, the man took the initiative to introduce himself.

He is Aiden, an employee of the Lex Group. Because of Lex Luthor's orders, he knows that someone will come to the viewing platform on the top floor, and he will appear here to serve the incoming guests.

Brody nodded, not surprised by this.

Under the leadership of this person, he took Angel to what he said was the most suitable place for stargazing—the very center of the entire top floor space, where there were also sofas and tea tables, champagne on the tea table, and suitable Milk for children.

To a certain extent, it is true that it is impossible to blow any wind here, because it is not open to the air, but is surrounded by walls, but this is also a point that Brody doesn't understand, how they can see the stars.

This is probably why Lex arranged for someone to come over.

Aiden had already walked to the corner of the room at this time, and he pressed his handprint against the wall. From where he touched, the corresponding blue palmprint appeared on the wall, followed by an inorganic reminder:

"Verification has passed, and the permissions are in compliance."

Aiden turned to Brody and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Wayne Jr., and Mr. Angel Jr., it will be set soon."

Brody nodded. He just sent a message to Bruce, so he was not in a hurry. The most important thing was to satisfy the child's wish before the operation. He thought so, looked sideways at Angel, and noticed that the child had been staring at him. looking at Aiden.

"What's wrong, Angel," Brody asked casually, "you've been staring at Aiden."

"I'm just..." The child turned his head and tilted his head, "I think Aiden..." Halfway through the speech, the child's face appeared blank, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Brody didn't urge him, just smiled and waited patiently for Angel.

"... Aiden's voice sounds familiar." Angel said, but when the child said it, his tone was obviously uncertain.

Brody: "Hmm...maybe it sounds like someone you know?"

Angel frowned, and seemed to be trying to remember, but in the end he still couldn't remember. He sighed like a little adult, and Brody was amused by his cute appearance.

"drop--"

A long sound without ups and downs directly attracted the attention of the two people sitting on the sofa. Brody's first reaction was to look at Aiden, and found that he had withdrawn his hand, and also looked at them.

After meeting Brody's gaze, Aiden immediately explained, "This is the prompt sound when the stargazing mode is activated, sir. In addition," this person looks ordinary, but when he was just introduced, he said that he was only 20 years old. The young man who was younger than Didu coughed, and seemed a little embarrassed, "Just now I set up a relaxing air freshener on my own initiative. If the two of you don't like it, I can stop this function."

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples gradually appeared on the original silver wall, and this change immediately attracted the attention of Brody and Angel.The silver color faded in their sight, and then became transparent. Their eyes penetrated the wall, and what they saw was the starry sky that was almost within reach.

And their feet also became transparent. Even though the touch under their feet made Brody clearly know that he was actually stepping on the clean floor, he still had the illusion that he was standing high in the air out of thin air.

He didn't have time to sigh for this effect, and his first thought was to look at Angel, worried that he would suffer from violent emotional fluctuations caused by this high-altitude stimulation, and then develop a disease.

Fortunately, Angel just lowered his head and moved his feet curiously, but immediately looked up to the top of his head. There was only curiosity and wonder in those big blue eyes, but no fear.

"This is the latest projection technology developed by the Lex Group," Aiden said, "Please enjoy it slowly. In order not to disturb the two of you, I will leave first."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Angel quickly, then turned and entered the elevator.

Only Brody and Angel were left on the entire top floor.

……

The banquet is still going on.

Lex seemed to be really enthusiastic, at least his interest in chatting with Bruce and Clark had not diminished, he said in a brisk tone: "Oh, actually about Gotham, the city of Gotham, it's finally Not my place, I'm more interested in Superman, I mean, how to put it—"

"This city seems to have been completely bewitched by Superman. They worship him, brag about him, flatter him, and relish all the news about Superman. They regard Superman as the pride of the metropolis. Some people even make up exaggerated stories about him. Lies about being saved by Superman to get attention."

Although Lex said these words with a smiling expression, people can clearly feel his attitude towards Superman.

A kind of dislike.

"Oh, of course, he did a lot of good things." Lex changed the subject and shrugged. "I probably just don't like people going crazy about it. They don't seem to realize that they don't know anything about Superman. So stay optimistic."

"So," Bruce raised his eyebrows, "you know well?"

Lex smiled. "I'm trying to get to know him."

Clark pushed his glasses. When he heard Lex's words, he didn't feel angry or anything. His expression was calm, and his tone was gentle and authentic: "Maybe Superman isn't complicated. What he did was just because he Love the earth."

"Perhaps," Lex said disapprovingly, "maybe when I really get to know him, my thoughts may change. Although you don't seem to agree with me, everyone has the freedom of his own thoughts. ’ He made a no-question gesture, ‘though I’m sorry.’

Bruce took a sip of his drink and said casually, "Just like you care more about Metropolis, I care more about Gotham, and, after all, he saved Brody."

This sentence shows his attitude.

In fact, Bruce's impression of Superman is not particularly bad. In the process of exploring Superman's true identity, he has read the information about Superman since its appearance to the present, and even personally contacted Superman. To a certain extent, Superman gives people It feels pretty reliable.

As long as Superman understands that Gotham doesn't belong to him, and don't wander around Gotham—not to mention the behavior of running to Wayne Manor—Bruce doesn't care about Metropolis' worship of Superman.

This has nothing to do with him.

Lex nodded and said with a smile: "You're right, I feel that Superman is like Brody's patron saint, always showing up, always saving him, this is..."

Those words lingered and chewed on the lips, and finally spit out with deep meaning, "...It is really enviable and touching."

Bruce and Clark frowned almost simultaneously.

Before they could observe the change of Lex's expression with probing eyes, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

"Oh my God……"

"what happened?"

"What happened, why is the light dimmed!"

Various exclamations sounded, and after the lights were lost in the banquet, it was almost impossible to see the appearance of people, which caused panic to spread in the crowd, but this did not include a certain person.

Through the lens, he could clearly see everything in the banquet, including Lex's surprised face, including Bruce's first call out of the phone - Superman saw Brody's note displayed on the screen - At the same time, he pushed away the crowd and strode towards the stairs.

Clark understood why he did it.

No matter what caused this kind of emergency, it would make people worry about their own safety, and Brody, who was not by Bruce's side at this time, would naturally arouse Bruce's worries.

Clark listened intently, while looking at the top of his head, the x-rays penetrated the barriers, layer by layer, and finally saw Brody on the top floor. He was sitting on the sofa with a child, and the sound of his heartbeat could be heard Nothing too much of a problem.

After confirming that his friend was still safe, Clark's expression did not become very relaxed, because there were some unusual voices outside the closed door of the banquet hall.

Such as screams, such as gunshots.

Those voices were still some distance away from the banquet, but they were obvious enough for Clark.

If he wanted to do anything after that, he had to find a place to hide.

……

On the top floor, Brody was pulling Angel and walking slowly while telling him stories about the stars.

There was a faint fragrance in the air. When one smelled it, it could indeed relax one's nerves. At least Brody didn't hate this smell and the relaxation it brought.

He raised his finger and pointed to one of the stars, and when he was about to continue speaking, his phone rang.

"Bru..."

"boom--"

Before he could finish his words, he was drowned by the sudden explosion, and the bottom of his feet suddenly shook violently, making it impossible for people to support his body to balance. Brody subconsciously raised his hand to find the nearest support point, That is, walls.

The dreamy sea of ​​stars dissipated in front of him, and the wall, which was as transparent as if it didn't exist, also returned to silver. Brody held Angel in his arms and felt the sound of the wind.

wind……?

He looked forward, his eyes suddenly widened.

The silver wall seemed to be blasted by something, revealing a hole, and the completely darkened sky outside could be seen directly.

How is this going?

And Bruce and the others——!

Brody looked at the phone, the phone is still connected, he can...

Can……

The mobile phone slipped from his powerless hands, and the young man fell directly to the ground, moaning while covering his head, while the child in his arms was already unconscious.

click... click...

There was a sound, and a gap appeared in the wall.

If you look at the building from the outside, you can see that there is a section of the top floor that protrudes and is in a suspended state. At this moment, it is emitting billowing black smoke. The explosion seems to have damaged the connection, making it crumbling.
