Hercules stood in an alley on a long street in Gotham, feeling that it was so convenient to have super speed. People can take Didi and at least try it.

Superman said: "Okay, then I'll go..."

"Wait a minute." Hercules called him, "'Our salvation is not in heaven, not in the ground, but in everyone's heart.'"

"What?" Superman turned around and understood for a while in confusion, "I like the imagery expressed in this sentence. This is your..." Facebook signature? s copywriting? Autobiography title?

"Oh, no, it's not me, it's someone I know who said it." Hercules shook his head, "I suddenly remembered it after I saw you."

I don't know if there is really a word "suddenly" in the detective's brain.

Superman smiled, kicked off and took off, and stopped suddenly when he flew into the air. He looked at Hercule, who was standing there with his hands in his pockets and his head up, and asked, "Are you a supporter of Lex Luthor?"

Hercule was stunned for a moment: "Why do you think so?"

"Lex said something to me and the media." Superman thought for a moment and repeated, "'We now know more clearly that the devil does not come from the hell under our feet, but from the sky.'"

"The devil refers to you?" Hercule raised his eyebrows in surprise, "He is so mean, what an unfair evaluation. I think Lex Luthor hates you, and his hatred for you will make him go the wrong way at critical moments, because most of the time, you are right."

What a super straight ball! !

And it's not the first time!

Even Superman, who faces the strong love and hate of all Metropolitan people, can't bear it. He stepped back awkwardly and said, "I appreciate it, but with your memory, you can definitely count how many compliments you have given me since we met?"

What about 'the jeans look good', 'you are worthy of admiration', 'the courage to make friends is rare'...On the way here just now, Hercule said, 'awesome superpowers, a gift from God', 'Nietzsche believes that the instinct of self-preservation is the basic instinct of organisms, and I think you have been trying to overcome it', 'most of the time you are right'...

Superman couldn't help but complain: "I wanted to say something else several times, and I forgot what I was going to say in order to come up with another way to say 'thank you', but thank you anyway."

"Ah, I'm really sorry," Hercule said suddenly, pressing his forehead, "I didn't pay attention, Xiao Krypton made me a little nervous."

Xiao Krypton flew 500 meters away from them, whimpered sadly with his tail hanging down.

It was the first time it received such treatment in a human group, and now it felt the same for the pug.

Hercule added, "I don't usually see flying dogs."

But don't you have a cat that can spit out tentacles?

Superman had one more thing to say.

After meeting Hercule, he felt...the detective didn't like him. However, unlike Lex Luthor, Hercule was indeed a person who put "good and evil" before personal feelings. He did not ignore the advantages of Superman, so in order to overcome "dislike", he used more objective kindness and praise to get along with Superman.

Superman had no doubt that Hercule was brainstorming every minute and every second when talking to him on how to make himself look more sincere.

How to say it, Clark Kent grew up in human society. Due to the superpowers that began to flourish in adolescence, he went through a long process of running-in with ordinary people under the guidance of human adoptive parents. No one knows better than him that he is not a coin and cannot be loved by everyone.

——Superman's natural skills to gain the favor of humans may not be as good as those of Krypton, who has the advantage of fluffy fur.

Who can resist a dog that squats on the ground with its tongue hanging out and looks at you wagging its tail?

Oh, Hercule can.

It's normal that he doesn't like Superman, and raising an alien dog is a big minus.

Although the detective doesn't like Superman, if Lex Luthor and others make sophistry in front of him, Hercule might even quote classics to speak for Superman. Compared with the hypocritical love in some people's mouths, he can be called a saint who sticks to fairness and justice.

If only everyone who doesn't like him could be so rational.

Superman thought in a good mood.

Hercule had a stern face.

He counted a few compliments on Superman along the way in an instant, and began to doubt that he was actually a die-hard fan of Superman. After all, it is always difficult for people to see through themselves. Maybe there is really a possibility that he values ​​this alien very much?

In front of Superman, he began to search for the other party's social network account, and then overcame some discomfort - perhaps just because he had never done such a star-chasing thing - and followed them one by one, and quickly noticed a lot of reported activity tracks, and put himself in Luthor's perspective to find 800 unreasonable but powerful angles of attack.

Usually we don't call people who do this kind of behavior fans.

But no one corrected him this time.

Superman kept his mouth shut, thinking that Hercule didn't have to go to such lengths to overcome psychological barriers and show friendship.

The other party sacrificed so much, he should show some expression, Hercule didn't set up an official account, but Superman could buy a bunch of detective peripherals that entered the market soon and keep them at home.

On the other hand, there is give and take -

He stopped taking off for the third time and said sincerely: "What I want to say is that you are completely different from Lex Luthor. You are wiser and more rational than him, and you can look at the people and things around you fairly. The pursuit of justice, and a tolerant, kind and generous heart.

In addition, I really like what you just said. I remember saying this, ‘Our salvation is not in heaven or under the earth, but in everyone’s heart’. I often have similar thoughts, in other words, treat others well and everyone can become a superman, and in my opinion you are such a person. "

Hercule had goosebumps on his arms!

"You are the one," he said firmly, "who can prove that what is powerful is not the release of power, but the restraint of oneself..."

A voice came from the gargoyle overhead, interrupting their commercial exchange.

Batman stepped on the ferocious head of the statue with one foot, holding the hook in his hand, lowered his head like the god of death and asked gloomily: "I have been waiting for a long time, when will you end this conversation?"

"..."

**

After Superman left, Batman led Hercule through the twists and turns of the streets, avoiding most places where people passed by.

Hercule looked around and said with emotion: "Revisiting my old place, compared to the sunny Hawaii, I found that I still prefer the look of Gotham, where it looks moldy in the swamp without waking up in the morning."

Batman's tone was flat: "And Gotham prefers you to reword it in a way that praises Superman."

How do you know what Gotham thinks? You're not Gotham, so you might as well say you want to hear it.

Hercule made no reply.

Batman continued: "You should at least let the Kryptonian know the truth instead of letting him lose himself in the praise."

Hercule asked unhappily: "What truth are you referring to? The human supremacy that I have been put on my head, which is just a label?"

Batman asked, "Don't you know better than me whether it's a label or not?"

"I don't want to argue with you," Hercule said. "From the first day I met Batman, I realized that you are quite opinionated. I admit that I am more suspicious of non-human beings I have never met. Rather than trust, Hibida and Superman have proven themselves."

Hibida heard the name in the coat pocket:?

It looked around confusedly, looking at the unfamiliar city.

Hercule patted his pocket: "You did very well when you faced the Kryptonian dog in New York just now."

Xibida understood his tone, his beard trembled, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised.

"..."

"Whatever you say." Batman compromised. It's not a big deal anyway. If Superman and Cat are lost, let them be lost. "But my warning is here: sooner or later, someone will notice your differential treatment." , then Superman’s enemies who tend to think too much will come to his door.”

Hercule said in his heart, you don't know, I have already relied on the batarang medals awarded by the system to attract your opponents.

He asked knowingly: "Why?"

"To find an alliance with you."

"By the way." Speaking of allies, Hercule remembered something, "Speaking of which, when I return to Gotham this time, in addition to meeting Harvey and Commissioner Gordon, I also want to take a look at the Riddler. He Is it convenient?”

The inconvenience of Arkham's prisoners generally depends on the attitude of the police and Batman.

Ordinary people don't even think about setting foot in the prison area, and Hercule Hugo was not an ordinary person after all.

He can be classified as a related household.

So that afternoon, the heavy iron door in Arkham slowly opened, and the heavily armed guards stepped back to make room. Scanners sponsored by Wayne Technology swarmed down, targeting Hercule and the people around him. Batman swipes around.

As a result, they turned on the green light for Hercule who put the equipment in the cat's stomach bag from another dimension, and turned on the red light for Batman, who was covered in props, and sounded the warning sound of "didi, beep, beep, beep, beep."

Batman completely ignored it and walked ahead to lead the way for Hercule.

Two guards followed them with guns raised just in case.

Arkham has begun to look gloomy at this time. There are yellow spots on the white walls, the lights are bright, and the surroundings are so quiet that only footsteps can be heard. There are two rows of cells on the left and right sides. Most of the criminals inside the glass doors are sitting against the wall, looking at the passers-by with cold eyes. . They are surrounded by things that soothe and symbolize their spirit without being dangerous: briefings from years ago, special colors of paint, numerical symbols, and so on.

When traveling to the central area, Hercule found that a certain cell was particularly clean. The sheets are white and the walls are white. Next to the bed is a standing cabinet. There is a desk lamp on the cabinet. There is a piece of white paper on the lamp holder. There is a marker pen on the paper. There is no one in the room and there is no nameplate. .

The sharp weapons have not been put away yet, probably because the people who live there are not known for their fighting prowess.

He only took one look and asked Batman clearly: "Does this room belong to me?"

Batman looked over and answered in the affirmative: "Yes."

The guard behind him didn't expect this answer and suddenly became a little restless.

There were unfriendly whispers in my ears. Batman added: "You asked me to prepare it."

"It looks pretty good." Hercule ignored others and commented with interest, "How do prisoners meet their physiological needs?"

"You'll know when necessary...I hope I don't see that day."

"It seems that you assume that I live here because of obsessive-compulsive disorder." Hercule said, and they passed the empty cell and continued to move forward. "The number of things in the room should be uniform, but not completely absent. 'One' is of course the simplest... But suppose," he glanced back at the guard, "two prison guards stood together in front of my cell door, and there was only a glass in front of me, what would happen?"

A guard shuddered and quietly opened the gun safety.

Batman: "If I were you, I wouldn't make such an assumption." He slowed down and separated Hercule from the guard. "If you think too much, your worries and fears will become reality."

They walked for nearly half an hour, passing many checkpoints, and finally stopped in front of a cell full of green question mark notes.

"Good afternoon, Edward." Hercule looked at the brown-haired young man in the room whose eyes suddenly lit up, and spoke first, "I heard that you have a new interest besides riddles recently. I am happy for you and I can't help but feel curious."
