The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 439 Suspicion in the Metropolis (22)

On the fourth floor of the manor, which is the floor where the guest rooms of Bruce and Selena live, in the dark corridor, Bruce is dragging Benjamin, who has not yet woken up, down the stairs, while Selena is letting him out in front.

Benjamin, as the general manager of all the agents in the manor, disappeared for most of the night, which has aroused the vigilance of all the agents. If it wasn't because Benjamin used to carry out some secret tasks alone without notifying his subordinates, the other agents knew about him. With this style of work, the agents must have started searching the manor long ago.

However, this gave Bruce a chance to question Benjamin. He and Selena moved Benjamin to a utility room on the third floor. When Bruce dragged him in, Selena stood outside the door, holding the door with one hand , and said to him, You'd better hurry up.

As she said that, she looked at the window at the other end of the corridor, where there were faint lights flickering, and it looked like someone was walking by with a flashlight. Selena turned to Bruce and said, What about the explosion in the reception room before? It's too big, and they're definitely going to start looking there.

Then, she looked down at her watch again, and said, It takes 6 to 7 minutes to return to our bedroom from the reception room. Even if they need to search, they will delay the time, and they will find it in 20 minutes at the latest. Come.

Selena's brows became tighter and tighter, and she said, Forget it, I'll go over there and make some noise, and help you delay a little time, you'd better get it done quickly.

With that said, she turned around and left, Bruce closed the door of the utility room and began to try to wake up Benjamin.

The two of them didn't have the affectionate and tender scenes before the couples split up in some movies, because Bruce knew very well that with Selena's skills, even if they couldn't beat them, they would definitely be able to run away.

On the other side, Lex had just walked out of Schiller's guest room, and the professor made it clear that he just wanted to sleep now, so what else could Lex say? I can only wish him good dreams.

At this time, he was walking upstairs, and he planned to find Clark.

Before, he saw all kinds of abnormalities of Clark. It is impossible to say that he was not curious. He could see that Bruce also wanted to find out who Clark was. He wanted to solve this problem before Bruce. To prove that he is stronger.

When the door was knocked, Clark was still a little dazed. He only slept for a short while, and his mind was still a little unclear, but the sleepiness disappeared soon, followed by a long-lost relaxation.

Because he was in a good mood, Clark didn't care about Lex's interruption. After he opened the door, he let Lex walk in, moved a chair for Lex, and said, Well, I have introduced myself before, now It's your turn.

Lex let out a cold snort, and he said: I don't need to talk to you to know, the two of us will definitely not be able to chat, you rural red neck who can only smirk...

How can you say that? It's a good thing you're not a student at the Metropolitan University. If you were there, they would have kicked you out for your personal attacks.

You are a student of the Metropolitan University, what major do you study? Lex quickly began to check the household registration.

He felt that Clark had a very strange temperament, which he had never felt in other people, a kind of compassionate divinity.

This temperament makes him feel very weird, because he feels that he is even the object of pity.

How ridiculous, Lake thought, when did he ever need sympathy? Not to mention, the person who sympathizes with him is still a fool who doesn't understand anything at first glance.

However, this kind of feeling surrounded his body, making him feel like a thorn in his back, and a vague anger rose up, making his complexion not very good.

Clark also noticed Lex's weirdness. He spread his hands and said, We should be about the same age. Which university are you from? Or are you still in high school?

This sentence just hit Lex's heart again. Before, Bruce mentioned some of his experience at Gotham University, and now, Clark came to tell him how Metropolitan University is. Co-authored, these three people Inside, he was the only one who didn't go to college.

Lex felt that he shouldn't have any emotional fluctuations because of this reason, but whenever he thought that Bruce and Clark might get along better, he had another strange feeling.

On the one hand, he felt that Bruce, who was as intelligent as himself, could have a better conversation with this idiot; up.

Clark can feel a person's pulse and heartbeat. He can judge a person's mood through a lot of information he can feel. What makes him feel a little puzzled is that Lex's mood swings are quite severe. Clark doesn't understand this. is why.

He thought for a moment, then asked, Did you argue with your friend? That black-haired guy from before?

Lex took a deep breath. He didn't understand why Clark's every question was so sharp. With a sullen face, he said to Clark, Who the hell are you? How did you come here?

Didn't I explain everything? Clark said helplessly.

Who do you expect to be fooled by your stupid lies? Let me not mention the distance between the Metropolitan University and the mayor's mansion, nor the violent snowstorm that is falling outside and the thickness of the snow on the road, and then ignore the bizarre The water tank of the fire engine that appeared in the flower bed downstairs...

Clark, has anyone ever told you how obvious the changing expression is when you feel my mood swings?

Clark's movements froze for a moment. He instinctively stretched out his hand and touched his cheek. He wanted to explain, but he really couldn't think of any good reason. After a long time, he sighed and said:

It's so strange that everyone I meet today can see that I'm abnormal, more than I have met in previous years.

Lex snorted, and then said: Do you think they can't see it? If you don't believe me, you can talk to them about this issue in a serious tone, and I'm sure they will be embarrassed to death.

Clark scratched his head, as if he didn't want to imagine such a scene, he shrugged and said, So what? Our relationship is pretty good.

But believe it or not, if you really fly in front of them, or lift the car up suddenly, their first reaction must be to be afraid, and they may even attack you,

Lex got up from his chair and started pacing the room. Clark put his hands on his hips and said, No way, my friends and family won't be afraid of me just because I'm different from everyone else.

Besides, even strangers are the same. I use this ability to help others. How can they be afraid of me?

Lex stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Clark. There was a coldness in his eyes that Clark couldn't understand. He said, We can make a bet that once you publicly show your abilities far beyond ordinary people, you will become the world's most powerful person. public enemy.

I won't. Clark denied very firmly. He said, Although I don't want to be a savior, I never want to rule the world.

From the time I started to awaken my ability until now, I have never used this ability to do any bad things, nor have I subjectively used this ability to benefit myself. On the contrary, I have helped many people...

Lex shook his head, and said in a cold tone: Unsupervised superpowers are poison to human society, and it is also to you. You will be poisoned to death sooner or later.

Clark didn't agree with his thoughts at all, he also shook his head, and then said: It seems that you are a pessimist, but I am just the opposite of you.

My parents always told me that while being defensive may make you safer sometimes, if you don't open up to the world, the world will never accept you.

Lex looked at Clark's face, he just wanted to laugh at his innocence, but seeing the very serious and determined expression on Clark's face, he was suddenly speechless again.

Clark's eyes have always been very clear. From his eyes all the way to the end, he can't even find a little impurity. Looking into his eyes, it is very clear what he is thinking.

Lex had never seen such a person. During the two years of recovering his mind, all the human beings he had seen had their secrets and desires in their eyes.

Two years ago, Lex came to his senses, but in order to wait for an opportunity to kill Lionel, he has not been exposed. During these two years, he has seen him and seen too much, and smiled at him. With his head, he said some sympathetic words, but he couldn't hide the gloating emotion in his eyes.

Behind Lex's arrogance about his own wisdom, there is indeed a pessimism about human nature. In other words, for people like him and Bruce, wisdom is their gift, and it is also a curse. Skepticism will accompany their lives. all stages.

But now, Lex suddenly discovered that he was not completely ridiculed and contemptuous of Clark, a seemingly naive and hopeless fool.

He thought that he could really play around with Clark, let him tell all his information easily, and then use his IQ advantage to show his superiority, but now, he has fallen into a serious relationship with Clark. There was an argument, and intelligence didn't give him the upper hand in that regard.

What on earth are you here for? Clark looked at Lexner's constantly changing expression, feeling very puzzled. He felt that Lexner seemed to have no purpose at all. After he came in and asked him a few words, he sat there silently. .

I just, forget it... I just wanted to confirm whether you are in any danger to the Metropolis. This is my territory. You'd better not give it to me, and don't make trouble for yourself...

Just after saying this, Lex fell silent again, because he realized that he was really like the kind of ignorant gangster in junior high school who threatened children younger than him not to cause trouble.

He put his elbows on the table and covered his forehead. He found that since entering this room, he had become a little abnormal. Clark couldn't understand the details of his thoughts, but Clark could feel his He was speechless about those emotions.

It seems that you are not a student of the Metropolitan University. Clark looked at Lex. Now Lex is still relatively thin, and his face is relatively immature. He looks younger than Clark. Clark thinks that he may still be in school. high school, so he asked:

You should be going to university soon, right? Which university are you going to go to?

Before Lex could answer, Clark said to himself: Actually, I think the Metropolitan University is very good. Although it is not ranked as high as other universities on the east coast, the campus facilities and community atmosphere are good.

Lex made a soft cut, as if he wanted to discuss the higher-ranked schools, but just when they were about to chat, several gunshots of bang, bang, bang came from downstairs , followed by the boom explosion.

Lex was almost knocked off his chair, but Clark had already come to the door. He pushed open the door, walked to the stairs, looked down, and saw Selena running up in a hurry, followed by a series of agents .
