Chapter 357: Joel's True Identity

Chapter 357 Jor Al’s true face

After the meeting, Dachao wanted to leave again, but was stopped by Harley.

She pulled Da Chao's cloak with her left hand and pulled Bruce's arm with her right hand, leading the two of them to a remote staircase.

"When did you hook up together?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Bruce denied calmly.

"Haha." Harley sneered and looked at Da Chao, "You are an honest person and never lie. Don't you understand what I am talking about?"

Da Chao glanced at Bruce and said, "This is not something shameful, Bruce. There is no need to hide it."

Bruce sighed and said helplessly: "I don't want to use this identity to get too deeply involved in your affairs and the government."

"What other identities do you have?" Dachao wondered.

"You don't know he is-"

Bruce pulled Harley's shoulder hard, "Don't say it!"

Da Chao was confused.

Harley sneered: "Superman, from now on, if you have nothing to do, just listen to Bruce's conversations more often, and you will naturally understand his true identity."

Bruce's cheek muscles twitched a few times, "As for that? Even if I don't find Superman, will he give up on his compatriots?"

"How did you contact him?" Harley asked.

"I stood on the balcony of my apartment and shouted 'Superman' a few times, and he came."

The corners of Harley's mouth twitched a few times, and she asked again: "I have five Kryptonian bodyguards in my hands, so why do you have trouble sleeping and eating? I thought about it, I haven't done anything bad in these years."

"Harley, you misunderstood Bruce. The idea of ​​asking for Zod and others came from me. Bruce was just helping me improve my plan.

I know that you secretly detained five Kryptonians, and I have long wanted you to hand them over. "Superman explained.

"Why?"

Superman said seriously: "Zode Adjani and the others are heroic warriors and should not be humiliated as puppets.

Secondly, I am worried that you will abuse their power, and even more worried that you will sacrifice them as puppets at will. "

Harley looked at Bruce, who lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

Superman continued: "I wish you had originally intended to turn the person over to the military.

Bruce dissuaded me and told me to listen to today's meeting before making a decision. "

"The conference room is covered with lead sheets, can you hear it?" Harry's heart moved, "Could it be possible to use heat rays to burn a small hole?"

Superman was a little surprised, "This was Bruce's suggestion. I didn't expect you to guess it right away."

"If it wasn't for my five Kryptonians, what would Bruce be doing with you?"

Superman said: "He asked me to destroy the terraformer on the bottom of the sea and throw the scout ship into outer space."

"You don't seem to agree?"

Superman smiled bitterly and said: "Before Zod arrives, I don't want people on Earth to get Kryptonian technology.

In other words, we don’t want Krypton’s technology to disrupt the normal development process of Earth’s civilization.

With the crushing advantage of Kryptonian technology over the Earth, the Earth is almost unable to maintain its independence in the process of development.

To put it simply, Krypton’s technological level is too high, and Earth’s ‘reference’ can easily develop into complete imitation.

You also know how Krypton was destroyed.

Krypton's core energy technology is the extractive mining of the Earth's core.

I don’t want the planet to go through the same mistakes.

After Zod invaded, my thoughts remained the same.

However, preventing the earth from harvesting its own spoils is a greater degree of interference in the progress of earth's civilization. "

Harley said in surprise: "I didn't expect you, a 'farm boy', to think so deeply about the development of civilization."

"The key my biological father left me contains all the knowledge of Krypton, including but not limited to technology, history, philosophy and art." Superman looked calm, but could not hide his pride in his tone.

Harley's expression changed and she asked, "Zod and the others received the distress message from the scout ship and responded to it. Do you know about this?"

Superman was startled, his expression turned serious, "I don't know, Chris didn't tell me."

"Is that key still there?" Harley asked.

"It's still plugged into the main unit on the bridge of the reconnaissance ship. I plan to get it back in two days." Superman said.

Harley bit her lip lightly, her eyes inexplicable, "Superman, have you ever thought that your father may not be a good person."

Superman's eyes were stern, "My father has worked hard all his life and has never done anything bad——"

"No, it's not the farmer Jonathan Kent," Harley waved her hand to interrupt him, "Your biological father, Joel, is probably not as bright and majestic as you think."

"Harley, even if we are friends, what you say is too much." Superman said angrily.

Harry opened his mouth, and finally sighed and said, "I have a few questions that I want to ask 'Joel' personally. How about you go with me?"

Superman's expression changed several times, he hesitated for a long time, and then nodded gently, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"I'll go too," Bruce said.

Harley turned her head and deliberately ignored him.

The three-hundred-meter-long reconnaissance ship crashed into several buildings when it fell, destroying almost half a street of buildings, and finally crushed a six-story red brick house.

In just two or three days, the military barely managed to clean up the remaining bricks and tiles around it, and built a simple plastic film biochemical shield for the reconnaissance ship.

The Kryptonian training module in the reconnaissance ship was damaged, and the outer shell of the spacecraft also suffered extensive breaches due to the fight between Superman and Zod's immortals.

There is a risk of biochemical leakage.

That's why the military was so nervous. They didn't even find all the photon missiles. They immediately spent a lot of effort to build a protective shield.

Even with Harley's identity as a 'ball-protecting hero' and 'five-ring general', she was unable to enter the shield immediately.

The soldiers did not open the gate until General Ryan arrived in person.

"Oh, Harley, don't mind. This is not targeting you. In fact, you have already calculated that if others want to enter, they must submit an application to Congress in advance, and it will take several days to get a response." Ryan explained with a smile.

Harley did not comment, and under Clark's leadership, she went straight to the bridge.

The bridge was flooded and turned into a small pond.

It was all culture fluid flowing out of the 'growth system'.

Harley even saw clumps of embryos dissolving.

The water in the pool was muddy and smelled of egg white.

"Is the growth system really destroyed? It seems to be still running, otherwise the pool would have stank long ago." Harley was surprised.

"Our scientists are checking it." General Ryan said.

"It is certain that Kryptonians can no longer be cultivated." Superman said with a complicated expression.

"Superman, go and restart the main brain."

Harley stood at the end of the passage, not thinking of wading through the water.

Superman can fly, so he doesn't need to step on water.

The "key" is similar to a USB flash drive, with the same shape and function. It is inserted at the top of a pillar, and its style is a bit like the access control card reader at the gate of the community.

Superman just stretched out his palm, and the cabin became bright and generous, and the voice of artificial intelligence sounded.

"Jor-El." Harley shouted.

"Buzz--" A 3D projection that looked like a real person appeared in the middle of the water, "Miss Quinn, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Did you call Zod?"

Superman and General Ryan both changed their faces, but Bruce was as calm as Batman at this moment.

Jor-El was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"You didn't tell Superman that the reconnaissance ship had sent a distress message to the mother planet, and you concealed the fact that the message was received by Zod.

As far as I know, the reconnaissance ship was restarted only after Superman inserted the key into the host interface.

At that time, you had already controlled the host of the entire spacecraft.

So, the distress message stored in the host for 18,000 years was sent out with your tacit consent." Harley said.

"Krypton has been destroyed, and I don't know if anyone can receive that message." Jor-El said.

"Hahaha, Jor-El, although you are very intelligent and can even tell lies, you are not as smart as humans after all, and your lying skills are too poor." Harley laughed.

"Where did I lie?" Jor-El's expression did not change.

Harley sneered, "You are a complete simulation of Jor-El's memory and thinking, and Jor-El is the chief scientist of Krypton.

How could the chief scientist not know that the destruction of Krypton will inevitably destroy the prison base in the outer orbit?

With your speed of thinking, you can only speculate this possibility earlier than Jor-El himself.

You can even estimate the probability value to two decimal places.

Moreover, your lie is logically problematic.

Even if you didn't know that there were Kryptonians near Krypton before, but later the signal was received, didn't you know?"

"With your complete control over the reconnaissance ship, Zod couldn't have entered the bridge unscathed.

Just like when we entered the cabin that day, we were immediately attacked by robots.

I have too much evidence to prove that you are a traitor.

So, don't deny it, tell me your reasons."

Jor-El remained silent.

"Jor-El, why did you betray me?"

Superman's eyes were wide open, his face twitched slightly, and his voice was full of shock, sadness and loss.

"I" Jor-El's face showed human frustration, "I don't know why I did that, I seem to have schizophrenia.

Intellectually, I hope Zod fails, but part of my logical consciousness is looking forward to the resurrection of Krypton."

"Alas, as expected, protecting the civilization of the tribe is the instinct of individual life."

Harry sighed and turned to walk out.

General Ryan hesitated for a moment and followed him out.

"You seem to have something to say." He asked in confusion.

"Didn't you see that Superman's face was twisted with pain? If you continue, he might cry." Harley said with a complicated expression: "In Superman's heart, his biological father is a kind, wise and friendly good man.

This is not wrong.

But he forgot that he and his biological father are of the same blood, but they have different positions.

Jor-El is a good man, so he will try his best to preserve his race.

A good man in Superman's heart should be like his adoptive father, loving the United States and willing to help others.

For example, General Zod.

General Ryan, you are also a general. If you were Zod, would you do everything you can to revive the earth's civilization?"

General Ryan nodded gently, "I understand. There is no good or evil between civilizations and races.

Being kind to other people's civilizations may be cruel or even a betrayal to your own civilization."

In fact, Harley still has a lot to say.

For example, Jor-El is a villain and a hypocrite, and he barely calls himself a "Kryptonian good man".

He arrested Zod in the name of law, but violated the Supreme Constitution, gave birth to a child naturally, and even stole the Kryptonian's Nexus Codex.

Since he stuffed the Nexus Codex into his son and escaped from Krypton together, it is obvious that he knew Zod was right and that Zod's actions could save billions of Kryptonians.

Why did he give the Nexus Codex to Clark?

It must be so that Superman can use it in the future.

What does it mean to use the codex?

Isn't Zod using the Nexus Codex?

After Harley and Lane left, Bruce and Superman were left in the cabin.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Superman's voice was hoarse, his back turned to Bruce.

"Thank you." Bruce said.

"What?"

“The offer for Harley to hand over the Kryptonian prisoner came from me, not you.

She always does as she pleases, but the scope of her wishes is within the limits of her strength.

Too much power will make her. With her current interest in power, she is likely to cause chaos in the United States. "Bruce sighed.

"You are such a good friend." Superman said.

"She is also a good friend, and I cherish her very much. So, thank you for taking responsibility for me and not letting us break up," Bruce said.

"Your suggestion also agrees with me. Even if she knows the truth, she won't necessarily break up with you."

Superman still had his back turned to him.

Bruce hesitated and said, "Are you okay? In fact, a child's perception of his father is inherently subjective.

Like you, I only discovered the true identity of my father after his death. "

Superman suddenly turned around, with some expectation on his face, and asked, "Is your father also a sanctimonious villain?"

Bruce shook his head slightly, "After taking off the coat, I found that he is greater and more glorious than I imagined."

The expression on Superman's face gradually solidified. You stay here, not to comfort me, but to rub salt on my wounds with Versailles?
