"Now … the citizens of Gotham are safe!" The subtitles said mockingly. "Superman, it looks like you have recognized your own heart."
Superman was clearly moved by the justice in his heart, but when he faced the camera, he made a painful decision … "You are right, I cannot save everyone."
"So, you will choose to run away …" The subtitles said mercilessly. "You know that to protect everyone, you can only rely on power. However, you did not choose power. Then, you will allow some of the evil to happen. Because you cannot make a choice for others, you can only let it happen. Because when you have other things to do … you cannot always save people. "
"At that time, you will turn off your hearing to receive their distress signals. You will choose to run away because you cannot watch them die and do nothing."
"I am glad that I have helped you to recognize your own heart!"
"Running away is shameful, but it is useful … I understand you, really, I understand you, Superman. I am also running away from something … "
The citizens of Gotham shouted angrily at the screen, "You coward, you don't dare to face the superhero, so you use us as hostages. Coward! "
"You are not wrong, Superman!"
"We support you, do not succumb to evil!"
Someone on the streets of Gotham raised his arms and shouted. In an instant, countless people echoed him. Ever since Superman came to this world, he had never received such support. Those who questioned why Superman did not stop the crimes in advance and questioned why Superman attracted those evil crimes were beaten down by the righteous citizens the moment they opened their mouths.
Superman's eyes continued to shoot out lasers. He knew that the person was right. He had made his choice long ago. When he realized that he could not save everyone, he abandoned a portion of them. The other party had simply forced the fact that he had forgotten and ignored to be placed before him.
Superman was saving the world. When he was doing his job, there were still countless crimes happening in the world.
Now, Superman had made the same choice.
As the laser energy continued to be injected, the sonic tunnel was slowly opened. Wonder Woman brought a portion of the heroes that she had saved back from the other end of the tunnel. She returned with a pained expression. Batman had prepared a life support system for the heroes that did not have the ability to survive in space. However, there were still some heroes who unfortunately died … No one could save everyone.
On the screen was the black man whose blood was being drained and who had become weak and shriveled. He was also looking at the screen. On it was the image of Superman and himself. He reached out and gently touched the screen. In a low voice, he said, "Child, you made the right choice!"
"Don't blame anyone!"
Superman raised his head in fear. The black man on the screen was getting weaker. The atomizer was slowly releasing the virus pheromones, and the black lines on everyone's right hands had stopped spreading! While the people on the street were celebrating, the white woman, who was also in the glass jar, suddenly could speak. She scolded, "Are you proud?"
"All of you have committed the crime of killing an innocent person!"
Following her words, the number of red tickets began to rise rapidly, and it was soaring past 75%.
But at this moment, Superman turned around in horror and said, "Louis?"
The white woman, who looked to be at least forty years old, hammered her fists on the glass jar and knelt down powerlessly. At this moment, the image on the glass jar changed. The white woman in her forties slowly dispersed the virtual image. Batman found it very familiar … Wasn't this the virtual image projector that he had developed to deal with Wonder Woman?
After the virtual image of the white woman faded, it revealed the image of Superman's girlfriend, Louis, who was in great pain.
The black man next to her was also turning into another person … His short hair was braided white, and his black skin turned white. Finally, he became an old woman whose blood had been drained from her body.
"Marsha!!!" Superman roared.
Superman tore through all obstacles in an instant. He did not even care that his speed would cause the air to tremble. He flew through space at his fastest speed. The huge tremor tore the sky of Gotham apart. Superman arrived at the top floor of Wayne Building in an instant. He smashed through the high-strength plexiglass and placed his trembling hand on the body of the skinny old woman.
Everyone could see Superman's anger.
The slowly rising number of red tickets stopped instantly. Only then did the number of green tickets representing redemption start to increase slightly.
Superman placed his hand on his adoptive mother's face. Marsha, who had all her blood drained, was as dry as a skeleton. Louis cried her heart out. She hammered the glass jar in great pain. Superman tore the glass jar with one hand and saved her. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground.
At this moment, no one dared to talk about sacrifice or vote yes.
Superman felt their fear. Fear of power … fear of … Superman!
Did the evil of humans need to be restrained by power? Was true peace something that could only be forged with power?
No … no, it was his choice. He chose to give up those who could not be saved. He chose to not be able to save everyone. He gave up making a choice for others.
Was it escape?
Or freedom?
Superman wanted to blast the clown behind the scenes into pieces, but he already understood what the clown wanted to do … He wanted to destroy what Superman believed in, destroy justice, or carry out justice in another way.
Diana came to his side and looked at everything in a daze. She knew that after killing Arthur, Shazan, Eagle Man, and Eagle Girl, and imprisoning the Flash, their enemy finally started to … destroy Superman!
"He just wants you to deny yourself!" Batman said to Superman through the communicator. "Don't be defeated by him …"
"But I really want to cry!" The Kryptonian, who had never been injured and never cried, cried. The video was still live, and the whole of Gotham was silent. Even the villains were smart enough not to make a sound.
"Will you make a choice for others?" the subtitle continued.
Pa! Batman crushed the electronic eye of the live broadcast, but a screen appeared before him. It was the inside of his armor. Someone had hacked into his armor system. Fortunately, the Batman suit was not a weapon controlled by artificial intelligence like the Iron Man suit. Batman only trusted himself.
At this time, a line of words that did not appear in the live broadcast appeared on the screen before Batman.
"Batman … I want to play a game with you!"
Superman hugged Martha Kent's body and slowly turned to look at the screen in front of him. The words on the screen continued. "I have recorded all the crimes that have chosen 'yes' and published the list on the internet. Miss Louise, it's your turn to choose! "
"Do you think that those who chose 'yes' are murderers? Did they commit crimes? "
"The vaccine made from your blood is enough to supply the whole of Gotham, but the price is that you will also lose your life. If you only save some people, you will only lose some blood. I want to remind you that only the blood made from your hematopoietic cells can be used to extract the serum. If someone tries to rely on a blood transfusion to replace the blood in your body, you, who have lost the serum immunity, will also be infected. "
"So, if you want to save everyone, you must be sacrificed!"
"But saving some is not a problem, and saving those who chose 'no' is more than enough. You can save at least half of the people, children, and the innocent."
"But will you sacrifice yourself to save those who have committed crimes in your eyes? What about those who kill out of selfishness? Take a look at their ugly faces! " The faces of those who chose 'yes' flashed across the screen. Some were indifferent, some were excited, and some showed no signs of regret.
Louise looked at the screen in front of her with hatred. She suppressed her anger and looked hatefully at the mastermind.
But she was also cold and ruthless. "No, I do not plan to forgive them! I will not sacrifice myself to save them. I will only save those who have not committed crimes. Are you satisfied? Mr. Blackhand? "
The whole of Gotham was in an uproar. The words on the screen paused as if they had become more excited. They sped up and said, "Of course you have the right, Miss Louise. You have the right not to forgive! "
The whole of Gotham was in an uproar.
Someone could not help but curse, "B * tch! What are you doing? "
"Crazy woman, you promised to save us!"
"Why didn't Superman stop her?"
"Superman, you promised to save us!"
The words on the screen changed. "What about you? Mr. Superman? Do you think they are guilty? "
"You are guilty!" Superman suppressed his anger and hugged his mother.
"Oh! I know … if you were to judge me for my crimes, I would not think I am innocent. But what I want to ask is, Mr. Superman, do you think these people … "The list of people who chose 'yes' appeared on the screen. It was densely packed, and it scrolled for a long time.
"Do you think these people are guilty?"
"I need to remind you that according to the hundred authoritative judges and lawyers in America, most of them think they did not break the law! Mr. Superman, you've always practiced the justice of the law. Now, I just want to ask you about your own justice. Do you think they're guilty? "
Superman punched through the screen in front of him. He did not answer, but the subtitles understood his answer.
"You think they are guilty! Ignorant, selfish, stupid, but you have your own way of judging. Will you forgive them? "
Superman looked down at the whole of Gotham. Now he had to make a choice. Would he choose to sacrifice half of the guilty people of Gotham for an innocent person? He would think of a way to save these people, but he would not sacrifice any innocent person, even if he was not Louise. Although this seemed like an old question, Superman still gave an answer.
Faced with the fact that he could not stop all crimes, he would give up and let some people be victims.
But if it was someone he loved and cared about, he would not. Because he had a greater responsibility.
When he intervened, he would not choose to save more people and give up protecting the innocent.
The famous train paradox: When a train was about to enter a culvert, there was a group of children playing in the culvert. They were about to be hit by the train, but Superman could choose to change the train's track to another abandoned track.
And on that abandoned track, there was an innocent child reading a book.
Under normal circumstances, Superman would stop the train. He had the power to save everyone, but there were times when he was powerless, just like now … a group of children who had made a mistake, an innocent child.
He could only save one side … Superman would not choose to kill the innocent to save more people.
He would choose to let the train run over the children and protect the innocent.
Now, if someone wanted to change the train's track, and because his child was among the children, he chose to kill the innocent, would Superman stop him?
In the past, he did not, and then he found out that the innocent child was his child.
Now … he had changed his choice!
He wanted to protect Louise … and he believed that he needed to protect the innocent from being killed … Fu Manzhou smiled with satisfaction. He had started to change Superman's mind! The most important thing was that he had tested it out. When the justice that he insisted on clashed with freedom, Superman would choose justice.
He would choose power for justice. In the past, he did not think there was a need to choose.
Now, when faced with a real game, Superman chose justice. He finally believed that he had to choose on behalf of humanity. Fu Manzhou smiled happily. He wanted to use Superman's fear of his weakness to change Superman's will, and he was about to succeed! Batman's expression changed. He finally understood the enemy's method to deal with Superman.
They would interrogate Superman's justice again and again, and then determine the vague justice. They would determine the vague justice in difficult choices again and again, and make Superman's justice extreme.
Because clear justice was extreme justice.
Superman would start killing. When he realized that killing was in line with his sense of justice, he would need to use another principle to destroy a person's principle. Only when a person's perseverance was constantly tested and met with another kind of perseverance, would he know what would last longer.
However, Superman was still Superman. He firmly carried out his justice, no longer vague, no longer compromising with reality.
Batman knew that the real weakness of the Justice League was not whether they could carry out justice, but whose justice they carried out. In the past, their justice was relatively consistent, but only when faced with a real test would they know whether they were on the same side.
Time passed bit by bit, and the subtitles had long stopped speaking!
Or rather, it was waiting for the final moment.
Superman and the Justice League were frantically looking for them, but these people were too well hidden. Or perhaps it was Chen Ang who took action. Louis was admitted to Wayne Hospital and began to draw blood to make a vaccine. Batman stopped them from sending the vaccine to the innocent immediately, because it would aggravate the situation.
But Batman was ready to make the largest amount of vaccine without endangering Louis's life.
The Justice League tried everything they could, but they could not find a way to cure the biochemical virus.
In the last hour, the citizens of Gotham went crazy. They started to attack Wayne Hospital to steal the vaccine, and the more timid ones started to protest. It seemed like everyone was scolding the Justice League. Diana was scolded badly, and the evil of humanity was revealed. They wanted to sacrifice Louis, claiming that the Justice League was harming them.
They brought their children with them to gain sympathy.
All in all, these people only had one goal, and that was for Louis to draw blood to save them!
This time, Diana doubted the nature of humans. She had never felt so disgusted with them. It was like returning to the battlefield of World War I. She saw humans killing each other, saw their stupidity, greed, and evil. Someone had once taught her that humans had a kind side, that humans were complicated, but the ugly state of Gotham made her doubt it.
This was Diana's weakness … she did not have a human view of good and evil. Her strength was that she did not have many rotten ideas, such as not killing people. But her weakness was that she did not have these fixed morals, so she was easily swayed.
In the end, Fu Manzhou's last resort was activated!
The cursor on the screen moved again, and it said to the thugs, "The serum is only enough for half of you. Now, some of you are destined not to get it … why not help them choose? Let nature choose, let you choose … as long as you kill half of them? Will the Justice League stop you from using the vaccine? "
Gotham … instantly fell into hell!
