The Death Knell

"I didn't do anything, hehe." Harley moved a few times on the flying carpet, came to Kara and hugged her shoulders: "I just helped Kara figure out some things, and now she has woken up on her own, right? ?Sisters.”

"Well, fu~~~" The cigarette in Supergirl's hand was smoked to the butt in one sip, and then she exhaled a long breath of cold breath toward the sky: "I have woken up from my dream, this cruel world moment Facing a crisis, I feel a lot of pressure, but I also have a lot of responsibility."

"Well, you're right." Diana also felt hairy all over. She was an introverted girl just now. How could she turn into a social person after Harry and her chatted for a few minutes?

"It's just like a different person." Su Ming answered Xiao Dai's words. If Kara hadn't been sitting behind him all the time and the tachyon generator was functioning normally, he would have suspected that Blank had made another move.

However, Harley waved her hands with a smile and explained:

"Don't worry, Kara is fine, she just grew up. People will grow, and what I do is basically fertilize the flowers and plants to help her grow. She is still her. Just like you, my dear, you and You were different when you were a kid, right?"

People's personalities are not always the same. Some people were very naughty when they were young, but when they grow up, they become boring gourds and are affected by the external environment. This is very common.

For example, high work pressure, disharmonious sex life, sudden wealth or poverty, changes in social status, etc., from a psychological point of view, may be the trigger for personality changes.

The original Kara was wandering on the edge of depression every day, so Harley simply jumped out of the worldview that Zeiss had instilled in the little girl and gave her a new one.

To put it simply, she told Kara that everything she experienced before was just a dream, and now she can wake up and return to a darker and crueler reality.

Yes, if 'reality' is described too beautifully, Kara may notice a serious psychological gap at any time and suffer a mental breakdown.

So Harley did the opposite and told the girl that the so-called 'reality' in the outside world was even trashier than the dream of working at the DEO. In this way, Kara would definitely be able to withstand it with the spirit of hope of the Al family, and at the same time, because expectations are inherently high. If it is very low, everything she sees in the future will be a good thing.

This is the psychological expectation. When people see a piece of shit, they will imagine that it smells bad. But when they find out that it is actually dried cow dung and has no smell, they will feel much happier.

‘It’s not as bad as imagined’, human happiness can be that simple.

"Yes, Deathstroke, Wonder Woman, thank you for your concern, but I'm sure I can." Supergirl put out the cigarette with the palm of her hand, and crushed the cigarette butt into fine powder: "To be precise, I have never It's so easy, since I arrived on Earth, I have been in that simple dream, and now, it's time for me to grow up."

Not only did she develop some bad habits of smoking and drinking, but she also gained some benefits. At least now she can express her thoughts normally and dare to speak.

Of course, the tone sounds a bit negative, but that doesn't matter.

Harley's treatment is like this. She will only help people move in one direction, but will not limit what kind of person the patient should become. Everything is chaotic and disorderly, and at the same time it is very interesting.

"Uh, okay." Diana looked at Kara carefully, and after making sure that she was not talking in her sleep, she accepted the statement, and then she looked at Deathstroke: "Continue the mission, where is Ellsworth Memorial Hospital? I’m not familiar with the Mets.”

"At the suicide cave in the south of the city, it needs to be closer to the sea." Su Ming gave the answer, and at the same time lowered the height and speed of the cloak so that everyone could see the scenery along the way.

Metropolis is undoubtedly one of the places with the best security on Earth 0, but as the old saying goes, no one is perfect without gold, and this is also true in cities.

The suicide den is the sore spot of the metropolis. It is the place where the poorest and most densely populated areas in the city are filled with all kinds of illegal immigrants, gray industry workers, drug addicts and drunkards, people who are seriously ill and have returned to poverty, unemployed and bankrupt people, and so on.

Superman is not a god, he cannot solve this problem.

Taking the simplest illegal immigrant as an example, should he send the person to the Immigration Bureau and lock him up, or should he deport the person back to his or her country of origin and cut off the hope of life that others desire?

Yes, without money, life will be quite dark wherever you go, but you have to give the poor some hope, right?

So what Clark could do in the past was to patrol here a few more times every day to ensure that no one would be harmed.

The result was counterproductive. Many people here died of suicide because Superman did not allow them to do illegal things to earn income, and they did not have the necessary skills and perseverance to engage in legal work, so they ended up in hunger and cold. They can only choose to end their lives in order to find relief. Over time, everyone is more willing to go to Gotham.

There used to be no name here, just called the slums, but after there was Superman in Metropolis, it gradually turned into a suicide den.

On the contrary, Luther has a better reputation here, because as a public figure and an entrepreneur, Baldhead has the need to promote corporate culture to the outside world, so from time to time he has to launch some charity projects to show off in the news.

He said it was just a show, but the money and supplies he provided were real, and many people here have been helped by him.

"This is like the kind of place where ghosts often appear in horror movies." Diana frowned. Other areas of the metropolis were brightly lit and still looked bustling at night, but the area under her eyelids was pitch black. No light at all: “I didn’t know something like this existed in the Met.”

Based on her hearing and eyesight, she didn't notice that there were many residential activities nearby. People seemed to be lying in shacks made of various cardboard boxes or scrap iron sheets as if they couldn't wake up.

"Haha, Xiao Dai, human society is originally a pyramid structure. How can there be no poor people at the bottom? Unless it is an ideal utopia." Harley hugged the heroine from behind, took a deep breath of the scent of her hair, and closed her eyes Eyes smiled.

"Want to go down and take a look?" Deathstroke made a hoarse and ghastly voice, and there seemed to be a cold red flame burning in the one-eyed goggles: "If you are lucky, you can still see it."

"Bang!" A gunshot sounded from below.

Su Ming, who was interrupted, stretched his neck and looked down. Then his tone became a little playful. He sighed and continued:

"You can still see people committing suicide. Well, the elixir is really damn effective, but it just doesn't work in the right place!"
