Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

Chapter 167 Clark Kent 23

"Do you believe that virtue, morality, principles, or bottom lines are more important than your own wishes and desires?"

"Yes."

This is what Clark answered when Yin Li asked this question.

But he didn't expect to encounter such a situation today.

Coming to this world inevitably means coming into contact with the Justice League.

After talking with Jason, Batman takes Clark to meet the Justice League.

Faced with the series of problems now caused by Sue's death, Clark offered to help.

There were already more than enough heroes who could help, not to mention that this young Superman was a guest from another world.

So Superman refused Clark's help.

After the heroes went their separate ways to investigate, the Midnight Doctor sent Su's autopsy results.

Her bronchi and lungs were all pink. She did not die of carbon monoxide poisoning. The Alliance was chasing the wrong murderer. It was definitely not Dr. Light who killed Lalfu's wife.

When Superman heard the news, he had no time to care about Clark. He nodded to Clark and went to look for the people who acted on their own.

Even though Superman said he didn't need to help, the kind-hearted Clark couldn't just stand by and watch, so he followed him.

Superman acquiesced to his counterpart.

For Superman, finding someone is not difficult.

Superman fell down, and he keenly noticed that something was wrong with everyone.

Everyone who is hunting down Dr. Light.

Wally the Flash, Zatanna, Carter the Hawkman, Oliver the Green Arrow, Dinah the Black Canary, Ray the Atom, and Kyle the Green Lantern.

They were covered with scars.

Clark listened as Superman talked to them, including Green Arrow and the Flash.

Their conversation was not loud, but Clark heard every word.

"Believe me Wally, this is not a decision we made lightly."

"You may not understand... In some fights, both sides are losers."

"Making them forget our real names is one thing, but changing a person's personality..."

“That touches the bottom line.”

Superman only hears what he wants to hear, and Batman only sees what he wants to see.

Clark stood silently in the shadows. He did not show up, nor did he say goodbye to Superman when he left.

He followed Yin Li's heartbeat back to Gotham.

Jason has turned back into Black Cat, and Yin Li is taking him for a walk in Gotham.

The weather is nice today, cloudy with a few rays of sunshine coming through the clouds.

Because of Sue's death, the atmosphere in Gotham is uneasy.

This atmosphere will continue until the murderer is caught.

Yin Li was standing in front of the hot dog stand.

This is what Jason recommended.

Clark's red cloak was too eye-catching, and Yin Li was not the only one who noticed him.

Yin Li walked towards the alley, and soon Clark fell beside him.

Yin Li held up the hot dog in her hand and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Clark looked at the hot dog in front of him, and his depressed mood was interrupted by Yin Li's sudden action.

Clark was a little helpless, "No, I don't need it."

Yin Li took back the hot dog and asked, "So what happened? Superman, you seem a little unhappy."

Clark didn't answer immediately, but looked at Jason. There are some things that children are better off not listening to.

But Jason pretended not to see it. His blue eyes looked at Clark lightly, and he pretended to be a real kitten, nestling motionlessly in Yin Li's arms.

"Come on, let's change places." Clark held out his hand.

Yin Li took a step forward, Clark put him in his arms, and flew towards the metropolis.

The two of them stopped on the top floor of a building. The sun was shining brightly on the rooftop.

Clark put Yin Li down.

The view here is great, overlooking most of the metropolis.

Yin Li looked down and the street seemed familiar. Not far away should be the Tang Group Building where Yin Li's mother Tang Ying worked.

Clark followed Yin Li's gaze, he guessed what Yin Li was thinking, and remembered that wonderful night.

But now there is no familiar building in the familiar location.

Yin Li withdrew his gaze and found a good spot on the rooftop to sit down.

He looked at Clark, "So what happened?"

Clark stood in front of Yin Li against the light, his red cloak fluttering in the sunlight.

Yin Li couldn't see his face clearly.

Clark walked towards Yin Li and sat down beside him. "If one day you find that the Justice League is not fair and honest, or even just."

If one day, you find that Superman is not as just and truthful as you thought.

Superheroes also have weaknesses, and the identities hidden behind the masks often involve their relatives, lovers, and friends.

Dr. Guang raped Su, so everyone voted to perform a "frontal lobotomy" on him, turning Dr. Guang into an idiot.

To destroy his personality is no different from killing him.

And Superman agreed with everyone's choice.

Superman only hears what he wants to hear.

That's Superman, Clark's alter ego.

He would have made such a choice, I would have done such a thing...

Clark was shocked.

Virtue is more important than inner desires.

He had believed this from the bottom of his heart.

Martha and Jonathan had taught him the same thing; he was used to holding back his strength and restraining himself.

And the doubts and vacillations came so quickly.

Imagine if Yin Li encountered the same thing as Su, Clark would definitely do something even more extreme than them.

Clark was wavering and hesitating. The principles he regarded as his guiding principles and the foothold he had in the past world turned out to be so fragile.

For Clark, greater power brings greater responsibility.

He carried humanity on his shoulders.

But Superman is not a real God. He will be confused and tired. He has a human heart.

Yin Li saw Clark's confusion.

"Superman, I never had any expectations for the Justice League. You are human, and humans make mistakes. Expectations can also crush people."

"Yes, we didn't save humanity, and maybe we did a lot of things wrong, but we are doing what we can, and that's what we are doing right."

“Don’t get caught up in a spiral of overthinking.”

After saying that, Yin Li opened the almost cold hot dog and took a bite slowly.

The spicy sauce mixed with ketchup in the lettuce creates a calorie bomb that explodes in your mouth. Combined with the soft bread, you can feel the filling in one bite.

He swallowed his hot dog and said his last words.

“Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with just following your heart.”

Don't be the right person, be the happy person.

Anyone can tell these truths, but there are some things Clark needs to figure out on his own.

Clark doesn't think he's qualified to judge Superman's actions.

But he saw another side of superheroes. After removing the filters, they were not so glamorous, including Superman. They were just ordinary people, and human weaknesses were difficult to overcome.

But in any case, superheroes have no right to judge others.

Even if the person being tried is a criminal.

It is easy to indulge and degenerate, but happiness can only be achieved by walking through the narrow gate.

Clark has always been good at suppressing himself, and he has been doing so for more than 20 years.

Whether it was suppressing one's own strength as a child and pretending to be an ordinary person, or overcoming human inferiority and moving towards the highest level of morality today.

Yin Li looked at Clark looking down at the metropolis. His light blue eyes were empty and he was in a trance.

No matter what the result of Clark's thinking is, whether to acknowledge his inner self and become a human being, or to suppress his emotions and want to become a saint and a god on earth.

It doesn’t matter, Yin Li will hug him as always.

"Can I hug you?" Clark said.

Yin Li opened his hands, "Of course."

It was rare for Yin Li to be at peace in his embrace.

Clark hugged him and didn't want to think about any problems, just let it go with the wind. Even though those problems would come back to trap him one day, it didn't matter. Just let him get a moment of peace.

Jason licked his paw and looked at the two people hugging each other tightly.
