Chapter 25 The Superhero Fund
Nasino City, Earth Detective Agency, Ke Wen, who had been busy for several days, propped his chin with one hand, and was there to catch up on sleep. Zatanna, who walked in, couldn't help smiling when she saw her boss looking so sleepy. Putting a few files in front of Ke Wen who was dozing off, Ke Wen was woken up by a moderate voice, looking at Zatanna who was smiling at him, felt helpless.
"Are you all this skinny now? You will wake me up even if I take a nap." Looking at the smiling Zatanna, she rubbed her eyes and said there.
"Hee hee, I'm just curious how such a meticulous and vigorous guy like you can take a nap, are you troubled by something?"
Sit directly on the table and show Ke Wen a beautiful thigh curve. For this natural benefit, Ke Wen can only look out the window and ignore it. The revolution has not yet been successful, and he still needs to work hard. He doesn't want to collapse in the middle of starting a business.
"It's so troublesome that I can't say it. It's just that I have browsed too much information. I have consumed my brain cells these days."
Responding to Zatanna's words, Ke Wen also recalled that after fighting the new God Mantis from Central City, he was scolded by the Flash for a while, and then went to Detroit to find Cyborg. For various reasons, Cyborg and Shazam, who were supposed to be the veterans of the Justice League of the New 52 universe, were forcibly withdrawn and became members of the Teen Titans where Ke Wen was. As a Teen Titan, Cyborg does not need to be stationed every day as before. In the watchtower or the branch of the Star Laboratory that cooperates with the official.
The Cyborg, who can switch back and forth between humans and machines, also lived the life of humans in the past. By the way, he also fell in love with Jessica Cruz, another female Earth woman, Green Lantern.
Three days ago, the Detroit Star Laboratory branch, who was cooperating with his father to carry out some project experiments, had an automatic early warning steel-frame electronic eye and looked behind him. A golden portal opened, and Ke Wen's figure walked out of it.
"Ke Wen? Why are you here? What happened!"
As soon as he saw Ke Wen coming over, Cyborg also switched to mechanical mode immediately after being surprised. The flesh and blood body composed of carbon-based life turned into a mechanical body composed of silicon-based life. The red electronic eyes and the completely changed mechanical body reminded Ke Wen of a domestic science fiction film he had seen. The movie, "Robot", even though it was rated poorly back then, but looking at it from the current point of view, it still feels pretty good? !
"Uh, can you stop feeling like something big is going to happen as soon as I come here? I don't have that ability. It's just that something happened recently and I need you to check it out."
Regarding Ke Wen's complaints, the fully armed steel skeleton was also a little embarrassed, a smile appeared on the cold mechanical face, the inflated mechanical body returned to the flesh and blood body, and the height of 2.5 meters also returned to its original appearance, leaving only The next red electronic eye is projected in front of Ke Wen.
"Long story short,
I need you to search all over the world for murders of young women with the surname Blake after Christmas and see if I can find any patterns. "
Um? Although I don't understand why Ke Wen wants to do this by himself, just after Ke Wen finished speaking, the steel frame of the quantum computer also immediately projected the result Ke Wen wanted in front of Ke Wen through his red electronic eye. Starting from the wedding on Christmas Day, the distribution map of the murders of young women with the surname of Blake on the earth was also presented in front of Ke Wen.
It's just that with Ke Wen's barren brain, he can't see anything at first glance, he can only look at the steel bone. The steel skeleton who understood Ke Wen's eyes also scanned these death places for the first time to confirm the rules, and then outlined a shape similar to the Ω symbol in front of Ke Wen.
"This looks like a ritual." Cyborg said uncertainly.
"It's basically okay. You search again. In these distribution locations, is there any reaction after the transmission of the sonic boom channel? You are a brand new steel skeleton born by combining the Apocalypse Mother Box, Earth technology and genetic power. This is not a big deal. question."
"That's the problem. Because of the establishment of the Justice League, Batman has set up sonic channel bases belonging to the Justice League all over the world. Coupled with the big crisis that swept the entire earth and even the universe in the darkest night before, Now the earth is full of space particles transmitted by the sonic channel, if you want to filter out which ones are recently active and which ones are before, it will take a certain amount of time even for me, so what happened, Ke Wen?"
"Well, I'm not sure, the symptoms are not too obvious. If this is the case, then please eliminate it 24 hours a day for the past few days, find out early, and solve it early. The Justice League has also noticed some abnormalities. If Batman or the Martian Manhunter are looking for you, you can cooperate with them, but don’t tell me that I’m also looking for Ha, let’s do this first, let’s go.”
Steel Bones, who didn't understand why Ke Wen didn't plan to cooperate with the Justice League, nodded, and didn't discount this aspect. Seeing Ke Wen leaving in a hurry, he felt a little heavy on his face when he saw the pattern projected by his red electronic eyes look. As an alternative mother box, he naturally understands that this so-called Ω symbol may take a long time for others to guess, but for Cyborg, it has only one place, Apocalypse!
"Is Apocalypse planning to do something on Earth?" He said to himself, and Cyborg also understood why Ke Wen didn't let himself tell the Justice League that he was also investigating the reason. Sometimes a group of people is not as good as a single person Yes, but some necessary cover-ups still have to be done, thinking this way, he also opened the communication channel, connecting Batman in Gotham, and Martian Manhunter in the watchtower, "Batman, Martian Manhunter, here It’s a steel bone, please answer when you hear…”
And Ke Wen, who returned to his city, has been opening the regional library 24 hours a day for the past few days, like passing through a sieve every day, going through every corner of his city. Since I met the new God Mantis of Apocalypse in Central City, it means that what happened in my own city before, the guy who blocked his perception and caused a vicious murder may also be a member of the new god of Apocalypse .
Since that is the case, then he is not welcome, and screens every corner of his city 24 hours a day, even if you, the New God of Apocalypse, can block it, you will never think that you, as an opponent, can hang up online 24/7, watching the city. It’s just that after these three days, I didn’t see any traces of the new gods. Instead, Ke Wen knew all kinds of petty thefts that happened in the city. He didn’t want to do it himself, so he could only use himself to connect to the regional library For the convenience, it gave some reminders to the police patrolling near the incident.
Just like a sudden inspiration, or a sixth sense in the dark, as long as these policemen are still stepping on the ground and connecting with Ke Wen in their own city, they can do this. Ke Wen felt as if he was a member of Aite, the administrator of a large chat group.
As a result, in the past few days when Ke Wen continued to open the regional library, the law and order environment in Nasino City has risen to another level. Those thieves who just robbed a ticket, the robbers have not had time to run two streets, He was held down by the police who arrived. The police chief of Nasino City has been commended, and his friend seems to be promoted again, and his other confidante, Kara, has more free time.
It is also because of this uninterrupted opening of the regional library and screening of information, although it will not blow Ke Wen's brain. But just like an administrator who reads 99+ messages in the chat group all day long, no matter how hard he is, he will feel some visual fatigue, which has also caused Ke Wen to be sleepy these days, and has to take a nap from time to time. Ke Wen, who was looking out the window and ignoring the beautiful scenery in front of him, was interrupted by Zatanna to continue his work, but before he could find out the traces of the new God that might be hidden in his city, he sensed a figure in front of him. I'm outside my office.
Get up quickly, ignore Zatanna's beautiful scenery, and walk to the bookshelf, pretending to read the books you want to read. And while Ke Wen was flipping through the book, the door opened and the doorbell rang. Ke Wen, who was pretending to be reading a book, also moved his eyes to the door, and when Zatanna, who was sitting on the table, saw the person coming, she thought that The smiling face that Ke Wen only showed became a little perfunctory, and he got down from the table quietly, and greeted the guy who came in with a fake smile.
"Good morning, Carla."
"Good morning, Xiao Zha, you two are here, hey, Ke Wen, are you free?"
Cara, who came in with a smile on her face, was not unhappy with Zatanna's perfunctory attitude. Instead, she greeted Ke Wen and Zatanna kindly. Zatanna, who felt that she punched the cotton with a punch, was completely confused by Kara's trick. Although she, Lena and Kara can be regarded as good friends, no matter how good friends are, they have to go After a while, I am so embarrassed when you come to the door with such a sunny smile on your face, I can't make use of the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first.
"Are you free? What is the peace in the city recently? I have too much free time. Where should I go?"
"Don't go anywhere, let's talk here, Xiao Zha, come and listen too, maybe you will need your help at that time."
Sitting on the sofa, Kara, who was like a hostess, also pulled Ke Wen to sit down. Zatanna, who was confused by Kara's harmless smile, nodded and sat on the other side of Kara. .
"Remember when you asked me what I would do if I got paid for the rights to the Supergirl comic?"
"Yeah, I remember you said that you want to try to change the world in another way, not just fighting crime, why? Have you thought about it?"
Seeing Kara's excited face at this time, Ke Wen was also a little curious. Up to now, the life trajectory of every superhero he knows in the DC world has basically changed a lot. Even Ke Wen himself can't guess the future where it will happen, so he is also very interested in the way Kara's words change the world at this time.
"I want to start a foundation, a foundation for superheroes!"
ah? ! Ke Wen and Zatanna also cooperated very well and showed puzzled looks, because he really didn't know the meaning of Kara's operation. Kara was also a little proud of Ke Wen and Zatanna's shocked appearance, and also talked about the role of her so-called superhero foundation.
"Yeah, it's a superhero foundation. I've been thinking for a while now, what would my life be like if I was just Kara Danvers, or maybe just Kara Zo-El? Maybe just a An earth girl who is studying, maybe just the daughter of a scientist on Krypton, it is impossible to become a superhero, because I have too many concerns, I will do good things, but I can't stand up and fight crime."
When Kara said something like this, Ke Wen also nodded there, because Kara was right. Sometimes, it is not that simple to do good deeds and be a good person. You want to do good deeds, and you want to draw your sword to help when you see injustice, but in reality, there are too many factors that haunt you. You save others, but you also disturb the good deeds of evil people. Revenge is upon you.
You want to help, but you may be bitten by the person you saved. In this impetuous society, there should not be too many examples of farmers and snakes. But once you have power and want to use this power to do something good, everything becomes different. Evil people are afraid of you, because they can’t guarantee what you will do once you touch your bottom line The rescued are grateful to you, because they know that it is not worth it to anger a strong person who saves them.
And Kara continued to talk there: "But I am Kara Danvers, and I am also Kara Zor El, a Kryptonian living on Earth. There is you, the knight who has been protecting. But not everyone in the society is as lucky as me. They may have superpowers, but they are not strong enough, and they have not received professional training. They want to do good things, but sometimes , will do bad things, and will also implicate myself.
Unlike us, they are powerful and have a group of elders who protect us. They want to do good things, but they are also a husband/wife, a father/mother, and a child. If something goes wrong, the family that depends on them may be ruined. I don’t want to see this happen, so I was thinking, why can't a foundation like this be established specifically for this kind of superhuman population with low abilities, and they are the majority of the superhuman population.
While helping them improve their own abilities, it also provides directions where these abilities can be applied, which can not only ensure their maximum personal safety, but also allow their social value to be reflected. How about it? What do you think of my idea? "
Kara, who had finished talking about her thoughts in detail, also looked at Ke Wen with an expression that was about to praise me. And Ke Wen just looked at Kara, fell silent, and asked after a while.
"You really think so?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Then you have to know that once you set up this foundation, you basically have to invest whatever you earn. It's definitely a bottomless pit."
"I know, but money is a good thing only when its value is exerted. For me, I already have the capital to survive in society, so why don't I use the extra money to do something good. As for In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, I can eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and I don’t care about everyday meals. In terms of clothes, to be honest, there is really little difference between Uniqlo and Versace in my eyes. If it is possible, I can fly myself, so why don’t I do it? something meaningful."
Breaking her fingers, talking about the four most important elements in the eyes of ordinary people, Kara analyzed them seriously, and then asked Ke Wen.
"If that's the case, let's do it," Ke Wen was a little dumbfounded when he saw Kara asking himself back. The supergirl Kara Danvers, who has always said that she admires herself, has really grown into a superhero who is not inferior to Superman. Hero.
