Chapter 97: Thinking

Metropolitan University, just across the street from the bar.

The location that Mike chose this time was at least not as "hot" as it was at the beginning of the semester, and there were no hot strippers, which made Jay's heart a little calmer. They ordered some simple omnivores and basically spent the first night of the holiday on champagne and pool tables. Although Mike is a guy who looks unreliable in most aspects, he didn't expect to be a very challenging opponent at the pool table-under the premise that Jay doesn't cheat with superpowers at all.

They fought for three hundred rounds with alcohol and didn't put down their clubs until early in the morning. They sat back at the bar and chatted with champagne. Jay has to admit that Mike is indeed a pretty good guy as a friend. He is warm and sincere and innocent. He can talk to you about his first crush and his first girlfriend, even Willing to tell him the embarrassment of entering the girls' bathroom by mistake in elementary school as a joke.

Jay thinks this must be considered a natural talent for this guy. Jay has never had any friends since he came into this world. No matter how well he hides, he is different after all. It is like throwing a red-crowned crane into a chicken coop. Loneliness is inevitable.

However, there may be exceptions in very occasional situations, such as Mike Marcus. Jay thinks he should be very lucky to meet such a roommate. He doesn't care about Jay's extraordinary excellence in all aspects, many strange behaviors and habits in the eyes of ordinary people. He treats everyone else with enthusiasm. Treat yourself to this "weird" roommate and be willing to be friends with him.

Oh, and he also has a very good way of chatting. Mike blew the cow without interruption for an hour or two while drank a whole bottle of champagne. Jay thought he looked ruddy and almost breathless. He even boasted that he had seen the new Superman with his own eyes, and according to his ecstatic description, it sounded like the other party had solemnly waved to him. Jay struggled to think about it for a long time before remembering that he seemed to have seen him in the crowd when he came out of the emergency after handling an emergency at Pinpin Maori. At that time, he subconsciously glanced over there because he found his roommate. , So Mike described it like this with added vigour.

But after knowing Mike for so long, Jay didn't hear for the first time until today that he actually came from Seaside City. Jay couldn't help asking a little unexpectedly, "Seaside City? Is it the city of Green Lantern?"

"That's over." Mike smiled bitterly. "The Green Lantern has long been history. Unlike the Metropolis, Seaside City no longer has its own superhero."

As he spoke, he drank the wine in the glass again, as if swallowing troubles.

"But you didn't forget him, did you?" Jay also took a sip of champagne. "What do they call Seaside City?"

"'Fearless City'." Mike said that he couldn't help but laughed, with pride on his face, "You are right. The Green Lantern is gone, but we never forgot him. A statue of him was erected in the middle of the city. , We even have a theme park with green lights. Do you know how to pronounce that phrase?"

"Which sentence?"

"The day is bright, and the night is vast. There is nothing to hide. The strangers chaotic the party, fearing my divine light. The green light is always bright, and the eternal light!" Mike recites the green light oath in a breath of air and awe, as religious as reciting " Believers of the Bible.

Jay was surprised: "Will you take the green light oath?"

"Of course, many people in Seaside City know it. It's like an inspiring slogan. The Metropolis doesn't have this, right?" Mike said, feeling a little proud.

He was stopped by Jay when he tried to get the next bottle of champagne again. Jay said, "If this goes on, you really have to drink too much, buddy. There may be no strict alcohol control at Will's Bar for the time being, but I think You still have to take a good sense."

"Don't worry, my father has drank whiskey for me for the first time since I was ten years old. There are not many people who can drink me down." He smiled confidently, "Go to hell with alcohol control... ...Unless you admit that you are afraid, then we can consider going back like this."

"I'm just trying to think about you." Jay shrugged and took a new bottle of champagne from the waiter. "But if you insist... then you'll be looking for it next."

Although the next result was not unexpected, Jay still admired Jay slightly for his drinking. This guy is like a bottomless wine barrel. Every glass of wine that Jay drinks is instantly digested and decomposed by his body's powerful metabolic system. It is basically no different from drinking a few bottles of mineral water, but his mind is simple. 'S roommate actually drank the same amount of liquor. He watched Mike drank Champagne that was exaggerated even for mineral water, and he could hardly bear to continue cheating with his superpowers. He thought that Mike's previous remarks might not be all bragging, at least in the aspect of "there are not many people who can drink him down".

But no matter how much he can drink, he will end up with a Kryptonian in the end of the wine power without a doubt. It will end up with the same result-like a noodle on the table, snoring thunderously in his nose, and heavy wine spitting out of his mouth. gas.

Jay regretted filling his roommate to this point, because it meant he had to carry this guy back to the dorm. He endured the smell of alcohol and took Mike back to the dormitory, pinched his nose and threw him on the bed in the dormitory, then locked the door and left the dormitory.

With such a strong alcohol and roaring snoring, he didn't think there was hope that he could sleep here tonight.

Jay removed his coat, and the badge worn on his chest automatically activated his battle robe and cloak. He flew up into the air gently, soaring gently like a feather, silently ascending into the air of the city. Different from Gotham, even in the metropolis of Shenzhen, the bright lights are still on. The brilliant lights reflect the golden color of the city, and the view from the air is beautiful and fascinating.

He continued to float slightly until he was out of the atmosphere, looking down on the blue planet from the cold and dark universe. The sun is in the other hemisphere at the moment, and this half is like being shrouded in a huge shadow, as if asleep.

However, it still looks so beautiful.

Sleep is not indispensable for Kryptonians, and Jay always likes to float in this quiet vacuum during the night without sleep. He used to see Superman in comics and movies like to float alone and look down on the earth from this angle. He thought it was just because the painter thought this angle was more handsome, but now he seems to understand a little bit.

The reason why you are here is because no one else can come, which reminds yourself that you are different. The reason for coming here is that the absolute silence and loneliness in a vacuum allows you to calm down quickly, and it is easier to sort out your thoughts and think about many things.

At the beginning, he stood up as the new Superman to fill the vacancy of Superman, but now that Superman is back, maybe the world no longer needs him. But what's next? Is he going to drop his cloak and pretend to be an ordinary human again?

Perhaps he had never thought about it carefully in the past, but now that he has experienced so much as a new Superman, he has to face this problem again. He was not an ordinary person from the beginning, even for so long he had pretended to be like others, but he could not deceive himself after all.

He can graduate from university with unprecedented excellent grades, can find the most cutting-edge job in any field, and easily get a huge salary, but what about it? Just like his student career so far, he will always be just a tall figure that is too good for others. He will never be able to integrate into any circle and become a part of this society. Yes, he can make a lot of money, but it is not very attractive to him. If you can easily play with the laws of physics that bind most of the most powerful people on the earth for so many years, people will be eager for it. Money and power are of course less attractive.

Jay closed his eyes lightly and muttered to himself in his heart——
