American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Linda was at a loss, and muttered softly.

"This guy is even dumber than Clark."

Xu Fu said in a low voice, "Perhaps I should talk to him. People like him are a rare species, there's only one in hundreds of thousands of miles around. He doesn't deserve to die like this."

The girl said, puzzled.

"You can be gentle too!"

Xu Fu shook his head: "This is not being soft-hearted, but rather looking at the problem rationally. Of course, if he can control himself."

Do you think he's alright?

"Definitely not."

Joshua's character has an extremely bright side, but Xu Fu does not believe that he can get rid of the influence of the insect image; genes determine many things, and the instincts inherent in one's bloodline cannot be shaken off by willpower alone.

At that moment, a text message from Wang Hu appeared on the screen.

Xu Fu waved his hand and let it pass.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, it's time to go."

Meanwhile, in a warehouse on the outskirts of the metropolis, Clark, dressed in his standard Kryptonian suit, stood in front of a mirror, carefully examining his own silhouette.

The black armor encased his strong body, making Clark appear exceptionally heroic at that moment.

Louise couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't know you had clothes like that."

Clark shook his head: "These aren't clothes, they're combat suits for Kryptonian soldiers, designed to ensure their survival in extremely harsh conditions. There are several sets like these at Lonely Fortress, but I don't like them."

"why?"

"Combat uniforms are for fighting; they're not suitable for me. If I wear them, people will see me as an outsider."

Louise nodded approvingly: "This really doesn't suit you."

"Alright, it's time to go. I hope tonight will have a satisfactory ending."

After saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Clark left the warehouse and disappeared into the night sky.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was 10 p.m.

At the foot of the mountains 70 miles north of the metropolis, a logging settlement once existed, but due to environmental problems, the town began to decline. As many residents left, the former town gradually became a playground for wildlife.

However, there is a subtle change in the city today: it is lit up from the inside out.

In a bar in the city center, Xu Fu, wearing a gray overcoat, leaned against the bar with a wine glass in his hand, looking somewhat bored.

Sitting in the chair diagonally opposite him was a disheveled woman. Her hands and feet were bound, obscuring her face. Only her trembling body revealed the fear that resided within her.

"Don't be afraid, no matter the outcome, you will receive an unwavering promise."

"You'll get a green card and a check for $50. That's enough to keep you alive."

The woman raised her head, revealing a face covered in dust, and opened her mouth, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Alan is a good person, why are you following him? He is..."

Xu Fu raised a hand to stop her from continuing: "You'd better ask your ex-boyfriend about this and let him tell you why we arrested him."

But I want to know now.

"I'm sorry, miss, I don't need to tell you."

After saying that, he left the tavern and walked towards the house, glancing at the two Kryptonians hovering in the air and shaking his head.

"The way you look in your combat suit reminds me of someone."

Linda complained, "Don't give me that guy, he's dead."

I hope so.

Clark looked around the bar and muttered, "Is that girl in the audience Kaname?"

Xu Fu nodded: "Joshua's childhood sweetheart and ex-girlfriend, the most important girl in his life. Love is a magical power. I wonder if it will create a miracle today?"

Clark disapproved of Xu Fu's actions and interference in Linda's relationship from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't say anything. He just secretly made up his mind that if anything unexpected happened, he would never let this girl die on the spot.

At this moment, Linda suddenly spoke up.

"It's coming!"

A gust of wind blew in from the south, accompanied by a suppressed screech, and a humanoid monster with wings on its back and purplish-brown skin descended from the sky.

I haven't seen it for a while, and it looks much thinner.

"Where is Kaname?...Kaname?"

Joshua covered his head, a faint red light emanating from his only remaining eye. His body was curled up, trembling at an extremely high frequency, as if he were in great pain.

Linda sensed something was wrong with him and instinctively walked towards Xu Fu.

Clark stared at him: "You are Joshua Allen, the one who killed at Bloody Christmas and Glencal Town."

"It was me, I did it!"

Joshua, panting heavily, his face contorted with disgust and utterly inhuman, glared at her with a chillingly brutal murderous intent in his eyes: "I...I..." "I'm willing to pay the price, please...please don't hurt Yingmei, let...let go. Let her go."

He seemed to be struggling to speak, pausing several times between sentences, his body trembling more and more violently, almost losing consciousness.

"Xu Fu, something's happened!"

Xu Fu frowned slightly and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Kaname is inside. Should I take her out?"

.... 0 ...

No, no, don't come out!

"You...you release her, and I'll let you do whatever you want, and I won't fight back."

Xu Fu fell silent, while Linda and Clark frowned in disbelief: all three of them could see that the boy was fighting against the parasites inside his body, trying to suppress the parasites' instincts with the power of human will.

Frankly, this approach is admirable.

Humans are inherently fragile, and it is difficult for them to maintain their true nature when faced with the temptation of power. Joshua did, however. Although he was poor, had nothing, and could not see a future, he adhered to his moral standards and did not compromise in the slightest.

"You're a great guy, I'll remember your name."

Xu Fu sighed deeply: "Do it, let him get better as soon as possible."

The girl hesitated for a moment.

"This isn't appropriate."

Xu Fu shook his head.

"He had no choice but to die. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Joshua raised his head, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Please kill me, I...I don't want to live like this, I'm a human, no...not a monster."

"Really, I'm not a monster."

Tears of blood streamed down his face—they were tears of pleading, despair, and endless regret.

Clark took a deep breath and said nothing more, for his eyes blazed with a heat capable of melting metal. The red light pierced Joshua's body, igniting his flesh and burning him piece by piece to ashes.

A suppressed growl echoed in the air, and it took a while for it to subside.

Joshua turned to dust after his death.

For the people of the metropolis, this was a perfect ending: the murderer was executed, and people no longer had to worry about their safety.

But strangely, Clark couldn't feel happy.

His opponent's actions before his death made him doubt his own worth, and he needed to calm down and think things through.

"I'm taking that girl with me; she's innocent!"

"no problem!"

Xu Fu took an envelope out of his pocket. "Give this to her."

Clark opened the envelope, inside was a green card with Kaname's name on it and a check for $50.

"She deserves it."

Clark didn't know what to say; Xu Fu's behavior was blatantly against his morals, but he had to admit that the other party did indeed need those two things.

The incident was over when Clark left with the girl.

"I shouldn't have dressed like this, it's completely useless." (703)

Linda muttered something, a little disappointed, then sighed, unsure of what she was complaining about.
