three days later.

metropolis.

Superman Clark returned home early with a bouquet of flowers and began to prepare a candlelight dinner for him and Lois.

Today is Western Valentine's Day, February 14th, a day of constant gunfire.

This also made many infatuated men and women lose their focus on work. Louise, who worked at the Daily Planet, was one of them. After drinking afternoon tea, she became absent-minded.

"Ah ah ah..."

While I was busy, the phone on the table suddenly started ringing.

Louise subconsciously picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Louise, I have a big clue that can make you famous, but I want three thousand dollars for this information."

The person who came was one of the informants she had developed.

Both journalists and police develop informants, the former for fame and fortune, the latter for advancement.

Therefore, they usually offer huge rewards to people who are suitable to be informants, so as to collect criminal information and explosive news.

"I need to know the exact information to determine whether it is worth three thousand dollars."

"Last year, after being injured by Batman, the Joker has been hiding in Metropolis to recover. I recently heard that he has gathered a group of people and is preparing to rob the National Bank on Valentine's Day..."

The informant never stopped until his words were shocking, and with just a few words, he was able to control Louise for several seconds.

Her breathing suddenly became rapid. This was big news. If the news was true, it would be worth not only three thousand dollars, but even thirty thousand dollars.

Louise couldn't wait to ask, "Time and place?"

"Louise, I won't tell you unless you have money. Mr. James from the Daily Planet is very willing to pay a high price to collect information. I am willing to sell the information to you at a low price, all because you have the support of a superman behind you. If I encounter any danger in the future, I will have hope."

"I will apply for informant fees immediately and arrange for the finance department to call you."

Louise had dealt with this informant many times and knew his character very well. He would never call her rashly without receiving accurate information.

So, without any doubt, after hanging up the phone, she immediately found the editor-in-chief to apply for informant fees and called the other party.

Due to process constraints.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Louise received a call back from the informant, learning the time and location of the Joker team's bank robbery.

Since the crime was to be committed late in the morning, the Joker team would not take action until after 2 a.m., so Lois chose to go off work normally, planning to go back and spend Valentine's Day with Superman before going back to work.

Bring your boyfriend along, she will be in charge of the camera while Clark fights the criminal gangs.

perfect!

The Joker should go back to Gotham. Metropolis is her man's territory and it is not the turn of outsiders to act recklessly.

eight pm.

After enjoying a candlelight dinner, Superman and Lois kissed each other passionately. As their clothes slipped off one by one, the dining table soon turned into a battlefield.

About three o'clock in the morning.

Superman carried the limp Lois into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub that had been filled with water.

Afterwards, they like to sit in the bathtub and chat, enjoying the brief warmth.

"Clark, come with me around 2 a.m. The Joker is going to rob the National Bank tonight, and we must not let him succeed..." Louise said weakly.

"Yeah~~" Clark nodded.

Afterwards, the two sat in the bathtub in silence, listening to each other's heartbeats.

One of them is a world vigilante, and the other is busy looking for news. They are both very busy at work.

Most of the time, the two of them would travel around the world and didn't meet very often, unlike Long Yi and Harley who lived in Gotham and were almost always together day and night.

Although Cheng Long and Diana have a strong relationship, they would occasionally be apart for a day or two.

Now that Wonder Woman has a man, her attendance has been noticeably lower over the past year.

Only Batman and Superman never forget their original aspirations and always rush to the front line to fight criminals.

……

At 1:50 in the morning, Superman carried his girlfriend Lois in a princess hug and went to the rooftop of the building opposite the Metropolitan National Bank.

After landing.

Louise quickly opened her backpack, took out her night camera, and pointed it in the direction of the bank, monitoring everyone nearby.

"Louise, have you been scammed? It's very quiet around the bank, it doesn't look like it's been targeted by robbers." Superman used his super hearing to listen to the entire area, but all he heard were some unbearable screams.

He was very familiar with this voice; Louise had called it many times.

"The informant said the operation started after 2 a.m., so maybe the Joker team is still on the way."

"Then wait a moment."

Superman only has super hearing, and does not have the abnormal telepathic and mind control abilities of Professor X, so he did not continue to question. It is actually difficult to tell whether criminals are taking action just by listening.

He just subconsciously felt that the area near the bank was too quiet.

I held the camera and waited quietly for a long time.

Suddenly—

A black shadow flashed beside Louise, grabbed her waist with lightning speed and flew high into the sky. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away Louise's night camera.

boom!
The black shadow holding Louise hostage was flying at an extremely fast speed. Just in the process of taking off, it broke the speed of sound and caused a sonic boom.

In the blink of an eye, Lois disappeared from under Superman's nose.

"Clark~~"

Hearing Louise's terrified cry, Superman frowned, and suddenly flew into the air, chasing the man in black who abducted Louise at a speed of four to five hundred meters per second.

One chasing and one running.

A series of sonic booms soon appeared in the sky above the United States.

The man in black in front seemed to be testing Superman intentionally. His speed kept increasing, supersonic, twice the speed of sound, four times the speed of sound, eight times, sixteen times... until the speed reached more than 8800 meters per second, 26 times the speed of sound, and Superman's speed could no longer be increased.

And 26 times the speed of sound is the Flash's normal speed.

In the Easter egg of the movie Justice League, Superman and Barry the Flash competed in speed. They seemed to be almost the same speed, but in fact, Superman was a little bit behind Barry.

When Superman came back from the dead, Barry could have avoided Superman's attack, but because he was panicked, he was hit by Superman's iron mountain. When the speed is similar, the mentality is unstable and the inner panic is very likely to be caught by others.

Lois was kidnapped right under Superman's nose, which also made Clark's mentality about to collapse. Looking at the man in black getting farther and farther away, Clark's eyes turned red with excitement.

Hot rays of light could shoot out of his eye sockets at any time.

Just at this moment, the man in black who kidnapped Louise suddenly landed in a deserted jungle.

"Louise, I'm sorry for offending you unintentionally!" Cheng Long's second soul, Youming, apologized to Louise in his arms as soon as he landed, "This is your camera, I hope it's not broken."

boom!
Just as Youming returned the camera to Louise, Superman fell from the sky and hit Youming heavily like a burning meteor.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be smashed into pieces by Superman, just like the locomotive in the American TV series "The Boys", which ran too fast and couldn't control its direction, and smashed the protagonist Huey's girlfriend into pieces.

But such an impact on the second soul was no different from tickling.

The second soul, like Cheng Long, is an immortal in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal Realm and has practiced the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. It is Cheng Long's trump card to transfer consciousness and be reborn when his main body is destroyed by the attack.

Normally, Youming would only stay in the Soul-Nourishing Jade to practice and feed back Cheng Long's cultivation. This time, the second soul was arranged to take action mainly because Cheng Long was unable to get away and his mother-in-law Hippolyta's surveillance of him was so strict that it was outrageous.

As long as Cheng Long left Diana and the room assigned to him, the ubiquitous Amazon warriors would report the news to the Queen immediately.

In order to prevent Hippolyta from discovering the problem, he had no choice but to arrange for Netherworld to take action.

The clone Long Yi lacks strength and cannot defeat Superman in a short period of time, and he has no means of restraining him.

"Clark, your strength is much weaker than I thought!"

Youming stood still like a pine tree. While speaking frivolously, he brushed off his clothes with his hands, as if he had been hit by Superman and became very dirty.

It's a small action, not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

"Why...why did you kidnap Louise?"

Superman is extremely kind by nature. Although he is extremely angry at the moment, when he swooped down and hit Youming, the anger in his heart disappeared almost completely.

Of course, the main thing was that Louise was intact.

It doesn't look like she's thinking about Louise, but rather seems to be targeting him.

Superman could even forgive Batman who once wanted to kill him, so naturally he wouldn't be very angry towards a strange man in black who targeted him.

"I just want to lure you out..." Youming gave Louise an apologetic look again. He was a little hasty when he abducted the person just now, resulting in him holding the other person's cafeteria and flying all the way.

However, when it comes to robbery, bumps and bruises are inevitable, so there is no need to worry about them.

"What do you want to do to Clark?"

Louise didn't care about the little thing about being caught. When she heard that the purpose of the underworld kidnapping her was to attract Clark, her heart instantly rose to her throat.

"Nothing, I just want him to disappear for a day, so that the alien forces that are spying on the earth will show up on their own initiative, and then I will catch them all in one fell swoop." Youming said bluntly.

"..."

Clark and Lois looked at each other, obviously confused.

"It's a bit difficult to explain in detail. To put it simply, Clark is regarded as the guardian of the earth by alien forces. As long as he is alive, aliens will not invade the earth, so I need to create the illusion of Clark's death to attract aliens to invade the earth..." Youming explained patiently.

Louise frowned and asked in confusion, "Since the Earth can be free from alien invasion as long as Clark is alive, why do you have to go to such lengths to attract them? Do you know that many people will die?"

"Because I want to solve the problem from the root, not passively defend myself. You are all smart people, and you should know that if you put your hopes on one person, problems will arise sooner or later..."

"Besides, I will leave the Earth in a few years. When aliens invade, the Earth will have to rely on Superman. However, Superman has an extremely obvious weakness."

Youming stopped at the point and did not bring up the embarrassing topic that Clark was almost killed by Batman.

Louise understood what weakness he was talking about.

Once this weakness is known to aliens, Superman will undoubtedly die. The Earth will be without a guardian, and it is obvious that Wonder Woman, Batman and others alone cannot turn the tide.

"I don't even know who you are now, how can I be sure whether what you said is true or false?" Clark was a little skeptical of Youming's statement. It was really hard for him to trust someone who suddenly appeared and kidnapped Louise.

"The fact that I knew your weakness but didn't take Batman's kryptonite spear, nor did I use Lois to threaten you, is enough to prove that I have no ill will towards you."

Youming is Cheng Long's second soul, with a kind nature. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to use force against Clark, or use women as a threat to make the other party fall into a pre-prepared trap.

Superman was speechless.

The weakness is so obvious, if the other party really has bad intentions, it would be easy for him to kill me.

"Clark, I think what this gentleman said is true. He means no harm to us." Lois pulled Superman's arm, her eyes full of worry.

Although Youming is not as friendly as Cheng Long, his strength has won Louise's respect. A person who can fly so fast that even Superman can't catch up, and can even be hit by Superman without any harm, if he has any ill intentions towards them, they are most likely dead.

"Sir, alien invasion is not a trivial matter. I think we should notify the leaders of various countries so that they can be prepared before it's too late to take action." Clark said anxiously. The devastating damage caused by General Zod's invasion of the earth nine years ago is still vivid in people's minds.

These are just eight exiled Kryptonians who are invading. If it is an alien army from another planet, there will definitely be more than just eight Kryptonians.

"It's not advisable to let too many people know about the alien invasion of the earth. Telling it to others will only backfire." Youming shook his head and rejected Clark's request. Some things are indeed not convenient for everyone to know, as that would cause great panic.

"So how are you going to make Clark disappear?" Louise asked.

"I will take him to a place where all his scent can be isolated."

After hearing Youming's explanation, Clark was silent for a long time, and finally chose to accept it. He and Louise could both tell whether a person had malicious intentions.

With awareness of personal weaknesses.

Youming thought to himself that there was no need to go through so much trouble for them.

After a long time.

Clark gave Lois a kiss, put on a heroic face and said to Youming: "Sir, I'm ready, let's do it!"

"Give me your hand."

Youming grabbed Superman's hand and turned into a stream of light, disappearing without a trace.

The moment Superman's breath disappeared, the originally quiet Mother Box in Cyborg's home was instantly activated, releasing circles of invisible sound waves to communicate with the other two Mother Boxes.

Waves of sound spread out in circles like ripples on the water. The sudden change made countless people on the earth pay attention to this incredible scene.

"Sir, what are these sound waves?"

Looking at Youming who suddenly flashed back, Louise asked with a worried look on her face.

"A signal to notify aliens. As long as the biggest threat to the Earth dies or there is news, the alien equipment left on Earth will excitedly send out a signal to help the aliens locate us."

Youming's explanation made Louise sweat profusely. It turned out that the earth had really been targeted by aliens for a long time!

This efficiency is a bit too fast! (End of this chapter)
