The Death Knell

Perhaps alcohol and magical leaves finally gave Starman the courage. Although he was unsteady and shook a few times when he stood up from the chair, he still stood up.

In the darkness, a starlight flashed, and the golden star staff fell into his hand again.

"Old man, maybe this is our last adventure..."

Cheap Batman also said that the plan has only a 10% success rate. No matter how much Star Man expands, he cannot give a more optimistic figure.

While saying sad words, Star Man's hand caressed the weapon that had accompanied him for countless days and moons, and slowly moved the long staff from top to bottom, as if caressing his lover's skin.

In fact, this is a process of praying to the stars. Since he was a child, he often looked up and stared at the night sky, imagining going to the stars or flying on a five-pointed star.

Now that I think about it, my memories of childhood are all vague, and I was obviously too naive.

Is there really a place for stars in such a dark world? If there is, I'm afraid it will only be around Superman.

Star Man showed a wry smile. As an alien, he is not as strong as Superman, and he cannot even compare with the brilliance of humanity. If he is Starlight, that man is like the sun.

However, most of the starlight seen when looking up are distant stars, which are essentially the same as the nearest sun. What Star Man has to do now is to shorten the distance of the light.

"Hiss...fu."

He suddenly smoked out the hand-rolled cigarette in his hand, exhaled a breath of foul smell, threw it on the ground and stamped it out, his eyes immediately became firm.

Then start planning. Although it sounds very unreliable, there is still a glimmer of hope in that plan. Not only does the S on Superman's chest represent hope, but also the white five-pointed star on Star Man's chest!

....................................................

Holding a star staff and flying aimlessly in the universe is a boring task that seems to be seeking death.

The cold space, the loneliness of no one, and the confusion about the future all surround Star Man.

But he gritted his teeth, tried hard to control the fear in his heart, listened carefully to Starlight's response, and tried to find the location of Luther and the Legion of Destruction.

However, his luck was obviously not very good, or it could be said that he was very lucky. He wandered around for several hours and could not find the Legion of Destruction, nor did the other party find him.

His journey continues.

On the other side, Su Ming has finished assembling the temple and is just waiting for the sculpture of Diana's mother to be completed before moving in.

Squatting on the steps in front of the temple, smoking a cigarette, with his arms folded in his arms, he seemed to be doing nothing. Bobo and Deadpool both left and really went to Sepurk. Now he and Diana were the only ones left here.

"Dodo doo... stare... dodo... stare."

Diana, who was carving a large piece of white marble, couldn't concentrate on her work at all. After carving a few times with a chisel and hammer, she would always look back to see what Su Ming was doing.

As a result, every time he turned around, he was looking at her.

She jumped down from the ladder with a blush, flipped her long hair, and returned to him to drink water: "Why are you always staring behind me? Are you planning to attack me with a pan again?"

"No, I just saw that you were serious and very heroic. I admired you for a while. This should be a compliment in Amazon dialect, right?"

Su Ming smiled and patted the place beside him, asking her to sit down and take a rest.

The heroine rolled her eyes and sat down directly: "Paradise Island uses ancient Greek, how can there be any Amazon dialect? But I understand what you mean. In my hometown, the words strong, brave, tall, and good at fighting are all Used to compliment women.”

"The requirements are really low... Then if I said, 'Dai, you are so fierce,' would you be happy?" Su Ming smoked a cigarette and leaned side by side with her.

Diana punched him, and her expression turned helpless again: "You're talking nonsense again, I'll just carve a stone statue, how violent is that?"

Well, she didn't reject it because she thought the word was inappropriate, it was just because she felt that "there is no reward for no merit," and artistic creation and bravery did not go together.

Su Ming grabbed her fist and squeezed it in his hand: "By the way, there are no words to praise people's resourcefulness on Paradise Island? How will people like me be evaluated on Paradise Island?"

Wonder Woman held the soda bottle and let him hold the other hand. She looked at the statue of her mother, as if she was missing something.

Then she shook her head and licked the taste of soda on her lips with her little tongue: "Paradise Island advocates strength and likes to defeat opponents in an upright manner. If a person relies too much on strategy, he may be labeled as cunning, insidious, and despicable. I know this is completely different from the values ​​outside, but just treat it as a special custom and don’t worry about it.”

The mercenary shrugged. He guessed that was the case. The Amazons were trapped on Paradise Island in the past. Their opponents only had wild beasts and monsters, so there was no need for their brains at all.

"If two Amazon warriors have a dispute, will they still resolve it by fighting?" Su Ming was waiting for the monitor's signal. It would be good to chat and relax during this time.

Diana nodded. She had no intention of leaning on him at all. Instead, as if she wanted to provide him with support, she stretched her white shoulders over and replied:

"Normally, there won't be any big disputes. At most, it will be something like two people killing a prey at the same time with their arrows. Then they will have some competitions, usually a small game with a best-of-five game. Yudao Notarize it by a reputable warrior."

"Compare to what?" He pressed a kiss on her shoulder, but made no intention of leaning his head against it. That was too weird.

"Chariot racing, archery, horseback riding, spear throwing, throwing knives... flower arrangement, poetry recitation, opera choreography, etc." She retracted her shoulders, maybe because her beard was a bit prickly: "These projects Choose from any of them...Don't use that look. Although Paradise Island advocates martial arts, they are not barbarians. Our cultural life is very high. I even wrote several stage plays when I was a child."

Su Ming smiled and nodded in agreement. At the same time, he stood up, and the shirt and jeans on his body squirmed and turned into armor: "I received the signal, it's time to go."

Diana also stood up, she was a little hesitant: "Are you sure you don't need the rest of us to go with you?"

"No need, I just need people who can't die and have performance experience. If the plan goes well, I will be back soon."

"Well, you must pay attention to safety. Although I didn't like this feeling of hiding behind others before, it's okay to come here once in a while. See? I can be reasonable, don't hit me with pots all the time. "

"learn."

Su Ming squeezed her arm, turned around and left, leaving only the sound of breaking through the air and the afterimage.
