Chapter 167 Hope of Resurrection
The first to announce the death of Superman was the "Daily Planet", and then, the official website of the Justice League also announced the news of Superman's death with a black and white front page banner.
When Kate saw this emergency notification, she sat leisurely on the toilet to solve the problem of excretion before going to bed. Suddenly, the door of the bathroom was slammed, "Kate, Kate!" Outside the door was her The niece called anxiously, and her niece was anxious and flustered: "My God, this is a prank!"
Listening to her niece's anxious voice, Kate hastily arranged her clothes, opened the door, and hurriedly asked, "Meg, what's the matter?"
"Superman..." Meg gasped, she grabbed Kate's wrist, her eyes widened, and she said, "Superman is dead!"
"What are you talking about?" Kate's tone soared, and Meg pointed to the TV in the living room. She said, "The Daily Planet is rebroadcasting the news. Superman... meringue is dead!"
Kate squeezed past Meg's side, and the rebroadcast of the Daily Planet news was playing on TV. Kate's body was stiff on the edge of the sofa, and she unconsciously grasped the back of the sofa. There was a close-up shot on the TV, with a The grass is blurred, and in the center of the picture, Superman's head is resting on Batman's lap, his hands are hanging on the ground, Superman is motionless, while Batman is staring blankly at the person in his arms with his head down.
And the banner below the news clearly read: After verification by the Justice League, Superman died in battle.
The camera swept away, and the close-up shot fell on Batman's hand. The black-gloved hand of the Gotham superhero gently rubbed Superman's hand hanging by his side, while Batman's lips, which were not covered by the mask, opened and closed. The eye-catching banners on the news make people feel that Batman is trying to wake up Superman.
Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Cyborg knelt beside Superman on one knee. The camera panned across the faces of Wonder Woman and The Flash. The faces of the two superheroes were clearly stained with tears.
At this time, Batman raised his head, his eyes covered with white film met the angle of the camera, he pursed his thin lips, raised his right hand, and tapped on the arm armor of his left hand, the picture captured by the camera was It stopped abruptly in an instant.
When the camera was turned, the Daily Planet video cut to the moment when the Justice League was officially announced. Superman’s last speech: "...Anyone who dares to invade the earth's enemies, whoever makes trouble on the earth, must first step over our corpses .Holding the sword of justice, with a brave heart, I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect this blue and beautiful planet."
Kate couldn't help but raised her hand to cover her heart. She froze for a long time, then hurriedly took out the phone from her pocket, opened the phone's address book with trembling hands, and found the "Clark Kent" contact with her fingertips. On the next day, Kate held the phone to her ear, and heard "beep...beep...beep..."
Kate held her breath, wishing with all her heart that she'd hear a familiar voice tell her briskly that it was a joke.
The phone was connected, and Kate recognized the voice coming from there—it was Alfred, Kate took a breath and stagnated in the throat tube, and the butler of the Wayne family spoke: "Ms Callaghan...is it true? Yes." Kate spit out the stagnant air in her throat and let out a big gasp, at this moment, she felt her vision was blurred.
"Since you're calling," Alfred stood beside Bruce. He took a deep look at Bruce who was lying on the sofa and curled up. Batman's suit was thrown on the ground casually. He said, " Master Bruce wants you to hand over a letter of leave from Mr. Kent, Master Bruce..."
Alfred paused and organized his language before continuing: "Master Bruce has a plan that sounds incredible."
Kate suppressed her doubts: "What plan?"
Alfred sighed softly: "Master Bruce plans to revive Mr. Kent," Alfred's hand was held by Bruce's raised hand, and Alfred felt the sweat oozing from Bruce's palm, Alfred De tilted his head slightly, seeing the moisture in Bruce's steel-blue eyes, Alfred continued: "Then, please, Ms. Callahan, I will send the note myself, thank you."
Resurrecting a person, Kate stared at the screen of the phone that turned on again, a little bit of joy welled up in her painful heart. Reviving a person sounds incredible, and it can even be said to be absolutely impossible.However, the person who said this is Bruce Wayne, Batman, a superhero who can perform miracles.
Five hours ago.
In the Batcave, Bruce took off his battle suit, and threw the accessories of the battle suit on the ground in a sluggish movement. He didn't have the courage to go upstairs to the master bedroom to sleep.In that room, the room where the master and his lover slept together, there were traces of Clark's presence in every corner. Bruce glanced at the black coffin in the corner of the Batcave—not so much a coffin, but a black coffin. Big box, Clark was lying in the coffin.
Bruce knew that he still had things to do. He needed to tell the Kents about their son's death, he needed to deal with the follow-up to Clark's daily work, he needed to prepare a decent funeral for his lover, let his family, they Friends can get together to remember Clark, he needs...
Bruce couldn't help but glanced at the black "coffin" again. His eyes seemed to be stung, and he shrank back suddenly. Now, as if someone had taken away the strength from Bruce, he even raised I didn't even have the strength to make a phone call to the Kents.
Death fell on Clark too suddenly. Even at the moment of victory in the battle, Bruce could recall in his mind the movement of the monster's claws piercing Clark's heart, as if playing frame by frame. The muffled sound of his claws piercing into the flesh seemed to play repeatedly in his mind.
Bruce hated his own memory a little bit. These clear memories of every moment of detail are like a rusty saw cutting back and forth in his heart, every time it hurts to the marrow, every time Even the nerves from his forehead to his toes twitched in agony.
Clark died too quickly, and the means of causing his death were too simple, and even gave people a strong sense of unreality.
Bruce remembered very clearly that before his lover died, he still insisted so stubbornly on him to live well, as if there was a hand twisting and pinching Bruce's heart, how could he live well?
At this time, Clark was lying in the black "coffin", and Bruce was sent back to the manor by his comrades. His memory of returning to the manor and walking into the Batcave was vague. When Bruce woke up——
There is no one in the huge manor, and the children are not at home. They were picked up by the superheroes who came after hearing the news, and Alfred was not at home. Bruce glanced at the monitor on the bat computer from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help covering his face with his hands, and leaned back on the boss chair in front of the bat computer.
The back of the boss chair is soft and ergonomic, and damn it, this boss chair is bought by Clark!At this moment, he could recall that Clark was sitting on this chair, connected to the bat communication, and commanded slowly and clearly.
There was a "ding" sound from the elevator in the Batcave, the elevator door opened, and Alfred walked out. He didn't have anything, and walked to Bruce empty-handed.
"Master Bruce." Alfred called out, but Bruce didn't give any response.
Alfred said with a little nasal voice: "The children in the family have been picked up, Mr. Stark picked up Miss Wayne, Captain Rogers picked up Mr. Grayson, Mr. Allen, Prine Ms. Quinn and Ms. Quinn picked up the other children, and these gentlemen and ladies will ensure that the children will not know the truth for a while."
Bruce let go of his hand covering his face, staring straight at Alfred, his sluggish brain was only instinctive, and he was sure that Alfred had discovered something he hadn't noticed.
Just as Bruce expected, Alfred said: "When you came back from the parallel world before, when you were sorting out the alliance action materials written by Batman in another world, I discovered something," at this moment , Alfred watched Bruce's eyes light up, and Alfred said: "You should have found out too, it's just that you haven't recalled it yet."
Bruce's eyes lit up, like the first spark of a fire that burned across the entire prairie, his brain turned quickly, and Bruce could not remember clearly, the situation of the alliance's actions organized by Batman in the parallel world In the nearly two-year action plan from July 2018, 7 to February 18, 2020, there was no record of any tasks related to Superman.
At first they speculated that it was the secret measure of the Batman in the parallel world, but now they understand that during this period of time, their Kal-El should have died, and the information Batman handed over to them concealed the relationship between Superman's death and The whole process of resurrection.
Kryptonians are absolutely different from people on Earth. Batman found out when he held Superman in his arms. Although Kryptonian is dead, his skin and cells are still absorbing the energy of the yellow sun. He was killed by the monster's claws. The puncture wound also healed after a while, and the Kryptonian was not so much dead as he was in a dormant state from which he could not be awakened.
Clark needs a powerful energy similar to that of the yellow sun, which can be injected into his body in an instant, so that Clark can be awakened and Superman can be revived.
Bruce sat up, he shook the screen, he was going to re-read the action data of Batman in the parallel world.
However, Alfred said, he said a very realistic fact, he said: "Master Bruce, this is just our guess, everyone knows your relationship with Mr. Kent," Alfred said: "Seven months a year is not a short period of time."
Bruce stared at Alfred, and Alfred said, "Even if you directly asked that Batman for the answer, it's not easy to come back from the dead." Alfred touched the corner of his eye with his knuckles, He said: "I need to remind you that Mr Kent needs a decent funeral for the children I have raised."
