Chapter 998 Metropolis, Clark Kent
Chapter 998 Metropolis, Clark Kent
Li Chengfeng has always had some doubts about bats.
This is not directed at him personally, but at all the unreasonable phenomena surrounding bats.
If it were the original DC universe, this unreasonable phenomenon would be understandable.
But in this vast omnipotent universe, most beings who should have the aura of a protagonist do not have it...
In other words, all of them were overshadowed by Li Chengfeng, the only protagonist.
...but this does not include Batman Bruce Wayne.
Originally, Li Chengfeng would only occasionally complain in his heart and then forget about it...
But ever since the bat was able to transform the supreme multiple authority into reality so that John Lee could, he used himself as the strongest shield to protect John Lee.
This is also why, after Li Chengfeng and Lucifer were hit by "reality", Li Chengfeng was left with only his true self, while Lucifer was basically no different from the weak Lucifer in the drama version.
But John Lee endured all the damage when authority was transformed into "reality"...
In the end, he was unharmed.
Needless to say, this is all thanks to that guy Bat.
So after meeting Jiang Mo, Li Chengfeng agreed to his conditions without hesitation.
That is to say, he and Lucifer have come to the real DC universe in their current state.
According to Jiang Mo, the existence of bats is special even in the infinite narrative layers.
And his bat is the best among all bats, on par with the original bat.
This is also the reason why the upper class did not intervene after the Crimson Demon appeared...
Shangcengjiang knew that Li Chengfeng would never give up the bat.
So, the Crimson Demon easily took away the two most important people in the entire Great Almighty Universe.
"So, how are we supposed to find Bruce Wayne?" Lucifer stood in front of a 24-hour convenience store on the side of the road, lighting a Marlboro with his newly purchased lighter. "If we were still in peak condition, there wouldn't be any problem... But now, how are two disabled people supposed to find a buddy who's been taken from his soul?"
"Let's not talk about how to find Bruce for now... where the hell did you get the money?!" Li Chengfeng glanced at Lucifer. "You have money, but why don't you buy me something to eat? Do you know that I'm already suffering from hunger again?"
"Money is easy to talk about. When you were looking for a place to hide that FBI agent, a charming lady who looked very wealthy and had a good time slipped a card into my hand... I played some games with her that were forbidden for viewers under 18 years old." Lucifer raised an eyebrow and took out a card and handed it to Li Chengfeng. "This beautiful lady was very generous. There are 20,000 US dollars in this card... Of course, she also took away some small gifts."
As he spoke, he adjusted his somewhat slim-fitting suit pants slightly uncomfortably.
Li Chengfeng could tell at a glance...this grandson was in a vacant position.
So he stretched out two fingers and pinched the outermost corner of the card with extreme disgust.
"When I think about using the money from selling your body to fill my stomach, an inexplicable pain rushes from the soles of my feet to my brain..." Li Chengfeng shuddered all over. "Will I get syphilis or some other STD disease from this?"
"What kind of virus can exist in Satan's body?"
"Tsk, it's hard to get over this mental barrier."
But although Li Chengfeng said he was disgusted, the hunger that had not appeared for a long time made this body, which was the embodiment of his true self, tremble.
...It had been so long that he had forgotten how horrible the pain of hunger was.
But for $20,000... I definitely can't eat at convenience stores.
So Li Chengfeng and Lucifer found a pizza restaurant that looked good. The fact that it was almost full at midnight showed its quality.
And through the conversations of the people around him, Li Chengfeng also learned about the city they were in...
metropolis.
This is not surprising at all.
In the DC Universe, places like Metropolis and Midtown are more like the promised land fabricated by the public intellectuals...
Especially the metropolis.
Who made the guardian here named Clark Kent?
When nothing major happens, Clark Kent is the most powerful person.
When big events happen, Clark Kent is still the most powerful one in most cases.
Of course, this is also a contrast to peers...
Let’s take a look at Gotham across the river, folks.
"Wow, there's something really special about the pizza here..."
"At least it tastes better than the bread in the convenience store."
The two of them devoured the food in no time and ate up thirty twelve-inch pizzas in this restaurant.
They even ate so much that the boss and the staff applauded them when they paid the bill.
but……
Even in Metropolis, this is America.
After the two men left the pizza shop after eating and drinking, a somewhat wretched man followed them, then caught up with them at the next corner and took out a somewhat worn-out pistol from his pocket.
"Hey, you two guys eat a lot, how about lending me some money?"
"Um, you mean, you want to rob two strong men who just finished eating thirty pizzas?" Lucifer was smoking a cigarette, his eyes full of excitement...
Li Chengfeng has seen it many times.
That is the look Satan has when he is able to punish sinners.
"Stop talking nonsense! This thing in my hand is called a gun! If you don't want to die, hurry up and take out all your valuables...Ah!"
Before he could finish his words, the robber was grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
But it wasn't Lucifer or Li Chengfeng who did it...
Instead, he was a muscular handsome guy with double doors wearing a blue tights and a red cape, with a small tuft of curly hair hanging on his forehead.
Li Chengfeng could tell the man's name with his eyes closed.
"Superman" Clark Kent.
The battle suit does not look traditional, but is very similar to Lang Chao's. The original red underwear worn outside has been simplified into a red belt.
"You two, are you okay?"
"Uh, well, it's okay." Li Chengfeng bent down and picked up the pistol on the ground, then crushed it into pieces in front of Superman. "As you can see, he couldn't do anything to us even if you didn't show up... But thank you anyway."
"You're also... a person with super powers?" Clark Kent suddenly became interested. "After I send him to the police station... you might want to talk to me."
After saying this, Clark Kent took off instantly and flew towards the Metropolitan Police Department.
Li Chengfeng looked at Clark Kent's receding back, and then suddenly noticed a hint of imperceptible...malice in his peripheral vision.
"Let me use the lighter."
Li Chengfeng reached out and took the lighter that had just been filled with fuel from Lucifer.
Then he swung it suddenly to the upper right, and a micro drone that was almost completely invisible in the night was shot down.
The "Luther Group" logo is printed under the oval fuselage.
