Chapter 268
Although it is true that Carl would keep silent and not answer Lex's question, making the other party have to rack their brains to think about how to start a new topic, but at this time, Lex himself is full of anger , He didn't need to add another fire.
"You didn't stay in your own home, you didn't go to your own office, but you chose a place where there was no lead blocking my view, and no lethal weapons installed." Superman said, "Isn't this your invitation?" ?Now here I am, Luther, tell me why you want to see me."
"I never 'wanted' to see you, Superman, I just 'needed' to see you." Lex was absolutely unwilling to suffer in terms of words. A kind of sneer, "But you are right, I am here to see you."
"Tell me what happened."
"Oh, just a small, very small error. An experimental error, and if you will allow me to say something about it, it's a great error, so perfectly concealed, Almost fooled my eyes."
"I guess a mistake in the experiment will have serious consequences." There were slight ups and downs in Superman's tone.
His expression also changed, his brows were wrinkled, shallow creases appeared above the bridge of his nose, and even his jaw was tightened by the sudden anger.
Superman clenched his fist slightly, then quickly let go of his tightly clenched fingers.
"What a genius inference, completely hit the point."
Lex admired Superman's angry expression and those small movements that represented his trying to endure his anger, how ridiculous, this person who is trying his best to anger Superman is the most convincing person when advocating the "superman threat theory" .
He always said that Superman's actions were completely out of his own will, and asked what to do if Superman was unwilling to save mankind one day, but wanted to destroy mankind; Good deeds, the recognition of superhuman strength is itself a crime.
But now the angry Superman was right in front of him, and the distance between them was only a few meters away. His muscles and demeanor were still so relaxed, as if he was not at all worried that Superman would kill him in a fit of rage.
Perhaps the person who doubts the loudest is the one who is least able to accept that what he suspects becomes the truth.
This idea suddenly appeared in Carl's mind, took root, germinated, and grew into a towering tree in a very short period of time——
Maybe Lex's suspicion is essentially Lex's trust in Superman, Carl thought, he can't control his divergent thinking at all, maybe Lex's doubt is a kind... a kind of similar to the external world in order to maintain the balance of the self. made resistance.
In all these years, he had never thought about Lex's hatred of Superman in this light.
Maybe it’s the fan of the authorities, his feelings, his experience, the relationship between him and Lex, and the experience between him and Lex are all hindering his thinking ability and his logic, so that he has never tried to think carefully this problem.
He didn't want to think about it himself, because it was too painful, more painful than any pain he had ever suffered.
Maybe Kryptonians are born with strong pain tolerance, Karl rarely feels the corresponding pain after being attacked, even the pain he suffers when crossing the plane is not as deep as the pain that Lex gave him.
Calm down, Karl said to himself, putting aside the sudden flash of thought in his head, resolving to think about it later.
What he needs to do at this moment is to deal with every word of Lex seriously, and look for those things that Lex hides from it.
"It's amazing how quickly you've recovered from the drive, and I can't help but wonder if the superhuman 'kindness' that people in the outside world preach is really true. Superman's 'kindness', no, Superman's 'emotions'— Is this real, or is it something people imagined?"
Lex saw Superman's expression changes and body language one by one, and his playful eyes lingered on the familiar face for a long time.
Staring for a long time made his eyes gradually have subtle emotions, and Superman was sensitively aware of it, but he just looked back at his old enemy calmly, and Lex was of course aware of what he had leaked...
His expression darkened.
However, this look only existed on his face for less than a second, and soon, the social fake smile completely blocked his real emotions.
"This is where the inferiority of human beings lies, Superman. I have never been stingy in admitting our inferiority. Human beings, no matter how hard they try to make themselves think rationally, it is emotions that ultimately make them make decisions. Emotions manipulate us, just It's as easy as manipulating a puppet in your hand."
He continued his last sentence frankly with this sentence: "So I have been doubting you, Superman, what I doubt is not you, what I suspect is a strange thing that fell from the sky, a rough and harsh alien species , a behavior that is incomprehensible to humans... Oh, sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, if you want to say that, it seems to be no different from doubting yourself."
This scene really exceeded Carl's expectations.
He has always known that Lex is his sworn enemy, and he also knows that Lex's hatred for him has always come from the heart, but he really has never been like this moment, with the two "Kal-El" and Superman at the same time. This identity directly faces the maliciousness of the opponent.
Lex's attitude didn't change in any way.
It's as if he doesn't know Superman's true identity at all, as if those sweet words and unlimited indulgences he said to Carl never came from his mouth and hands.
"Since you already know that you made a small mistake in your experiment, you must now know the consequences of your mistake in the experiment." Superman directly ignored Lex's series of slander, "Tell me what the consequences of the mistake in the experiment will be. "
"The original function of the test product is to suppress the ability riots caused by mutants due to intense emotions. The final result can effectively reduce the probability of ability riots, at least before I hand over the results to that respectable Professor Hank. .That's the perfect reagent."
Lex said it was perfect, but there was a nasty smile on his face.
This smile can only be described as hateful, it is so cold and evil, without any human content at all.
The devil couldn't show a more chilling smile than this one. Carl even felt that those missionaries needed to take a good look at Lex's expression at the moment, to see how he was sitting in the back of the office, wearing a three-piece suit There is no magma or black hole behind them, but it can create a hellish atmosphere—those missionaries had better be able to draw this moment into a picture scroll, and when they preach, they will show that picture to unbelievers.
Anyone would surrender to the Lord out of fear of the evil revealed in that smile.
If he had said that, Lex would have sneered and added, "Whoever it is?" Laughing at people, Carl thought, Lex's point of view had always been that, and he had assumed that ordinary people were terrified. drive, and do anything irrational about it.
Don't you hate me because of fear?
You just never admit that you fear me.
You never admit your fear of being controlled, your fear of someone stronger than you, above you, not of status or power, because there are so many people on earth who are stronger than you in status and power, you don't fear any of them anyone.
You fear me, Superman thought, because you genuinely think you are inferior to me.
Superman's expression became more and more calm and perfect, he had hidden all his emotions, even when Lex spoke in a triumphant tone, his face did not change at all.
This subtle change was quickly accepted by another person in the office.
Lex gave up on continuing to piss off Superman, announcing the results, "There's just one small...problem. This reagent is actually the result of a transformation of a previous failed product that had a perfectly hidden Fatal flaw: it can indeed completely prevent mutants from rioting, but all mutants injected with the reagent will gradually lose their rationality, in other words, their final result is to become powerful animals."
Carl thought of Professor Hank's face when he proudly announced that he had solved the mutant riot, such pure and bright pride.
Without thinking too much, Carl can figure out the logic of the whole thing.
Lex handed over the improved results of the failed work to Hank, and Hank, who was dissatisfied that the reagent could only "effectively reduce the chance of ability riots", tentatively improved the potion.
In order to achieve his desired goal, Lex must have made some guidance in the reagent, so that Hank's improvement will eventually lead to the so-called failed product made by him.
Several clusters of uncontrollable anger jumped into Superman's brain.
He must have leaked his hot gaze uncontrollably, maybe Lex saw him with red eyes, otherwise it couldn't explain Lex's complacent expression.
Or maybe there was some sadness and pain in his rage, otherwise Lex couldn't have smiled so triumphantly.
For a moment, Carl didn't want to continue playing like this with Lex at all. It wasn't between him and Lex.
Although in reality the rivalry between Lex and Superman is entirely personal.
Ke Rex always like this, the chessboard is too heavy, too involved.
He slammed Lex into a dive.
Lex only felt a jolt like a mountain shaking, and then a suffocation came from his throat.
Superman strangled his neck so hard that Lex felt he would die in less than a minute, the blood vessels that were pinched so hard made his mind dizzy, and the strangled throat made him nauseous.
However, all these pains were indifferent, because those pupils that faintly showed a dark red light were right in front of him.
The enraged Superman stared at him, the anger in his eyes was enough to melt steel and wipe out the human being he was holding in his hands.
That sun-god-like bright face is covered with haze, ha, the sun god, the sun god of light, who knew he also controls plague and chaos?People are always like this, fanatically worshiping gods or god-like powers, but never thinking about why gods care about people.
Superman, he will give light, and he will send plague.
As Lex has tried to prove all these years.
Just like his longing for years.
Superman's expression finally lost the fake perfection, revealing his essence: cold, ruthless, and inhuman.
Ecstasy surged from the bottom of Lex's heart, but the pain of suffocation was too strong, so this joy became not as charming as he imagined.
