Ultraman, this word swept the city overnight and became a hot topic in Gotham.

Well it’s not that it wasn’t popular before. The red and silver giant caused an uproar when he first appeared, and once sparked a popular theory in Gotham City about "God destroys the world to punish evil".

However, as we all know, the memory of the Internet is short-lived, and its popularity is gradually declining as time goes by. After all, although the alien story is shocking, it has little relevance to ordinary people.

But this time it was different.

Almost everyone in the entire city fell asleep at the same time, falling into the most terrifying nightmare they had ever seen in their lives. And then everyone dreamed of the same giant of light at the same time, tearing apart the darkness to bring light, turning fear into hope, and turning this most terrifying nightmare in history into a legend of light.

The culprit, Dr. Destiny, was captured by Batman, but the news was quickly controlled by relevant departments.

After all, Dr. Destiny obtained his abilities through Arkham's perception enhancement device. Whether it was this controversial experiment or the poor management of the lunatic asylum, the superiors did not want the public to know about it.

Secondly, DC at this stage is still in a delicate period similar to the end of the law and the boundary between spiritual energy recovery. The real explosion of superpowers should be after a certain underwear-wearing boy scout in Metropolis officially announced his debut. After that, superheroes and supervillains sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, just like a DC version of spiritual revival. Same.

But it's different now. In the current "pre-Superman Era", at least for ordinary people, superpowers and aliens are still very far away. The relevant departments headed by the Sky Eye Society still adhere to the principle of blocking them when they can. Large-scale vicious incidents like Doctor Destiny must be covered up.

So the explanation given by experts after this incident was that there was some extremely rare group hallucination in Gotham.

Shen You's first reaction when he saw this explanation was that this expert was really useless.

His professional level is like studying a dead man who was shot seven times in the back for a long time. After detailed investigation and careful reasoning, he came to the conclusion that the cliff was a suicide.

But then I thought about it again.

No, this is indeed Gotham.

He's an expert on Gotham. That's right. That's right.

Of course, the people will definitely not buy it. Anyway, it is normal practice for experts to talk nonsense or to cover up the situation. The well-informed citizens of Gotham have long been used to it. They believe whatever the superiors say does not hinder them.

"It's true!" A child said excitedly to the camera, "I really saw Ultraman!"

"My child firmly believes that the nightmare was real, and the Ultraman we saw is also real."

An office worker on his way home from work said in an interview with Gotham Daily.

"So what do you think?" the reporter asked.

The man pondered for a moment.

It took more than ten seconds before he slowly spoke.

"I grew up in Gotham and have been here for forty years. If Gotham has taught me anything, the first and most important thing is not to believe easily."

"The last time I believed in a hero was GCPD Officer Elliot. That pot-bellied guy had a conscience and saved a child who fell into the water during patrol. Now that I think about it, that was probably the only good thing he ever did in his life. As a result, He was written up by every newspaper and media outlet in Gotham, portraying him as some kind of shining hero."

"But just a month later, my aunt was robbed in a convenience store. The 'heroic' detective was in the store, just across the aisle. But he turned a blind eye."

"I know you're probably going to cut this off, but that's what I'm saying. Gotham is a place where every time you think you see a torch, even a spark, or the smallest thing that can be called... If you have hope, this city will swallow it up immediately, throwing you into deeper darkness and showing you the coldness of reality.”

The reporter thought for a while: "So, you mean, you don't believe it, right?"

".No."

The man shook his head and said.

"He showed up there and took us out of that nightmare and taught us that we don't have to be afraid. I know what I saw and it wasn't a hallucination."

"Only this time, I want to believe it."

"Your overall energy increase has reached more than 10%. Congratulations, sir."

Underground laboratory, artificial intelligence Pal said.

At this time, Shen You was sitting in a game cabin-like device he had built himself, with lines all over his body. The monitor in front of him showed the physical examination data of his own body.

This is a device built by Shen You himself, and it may be similar to a physical examination for Ultraman. It can scan and evaluate the intensity and level of light energy in Shen You's body, and provide a rough feedback on changes in his strength.

What he pretended to be in front of the whole city in his nightmare was his biggest harvest since landing. Even he himself could faintly feel the slight improvement in the basic panel.

Originally, he had located Dr. Destiny's true identity, had assembled his armor, and was about to fly out to take it down personally, but he didn't expect to be beaten to the punch by Batman.

Shen You couldn't help but admire him.

Sure enough, even if you are a newbie, I am still your master. An ordinary person can resist Dr. Destiny's nightmare at close range, and his willpower is truly amazing.

But this also saves Shen You the trouble of doing it himself. Anyway, his experience has been harvested in the dream, and he is in a good mood.

When I came up from the laboratory, I was humming a little tune and felt a lot more relaxed.

When Shen You passed by, he noticed that Kara looked at him a little differently than before. His big eyes were filled with admiration and a bit of awe.

"What's wrong?"

"without"

The little girl pondered for a while.

"It's you, you are so powerful." She said from the bottom of her heart, "I didn't know you were so powerful before."

Shen was amused and touched her little golden head: "You should study hard and practice hard, and master the skills I teach you as soon as possible. I guarantee that you will be better than this in the future."

"Really?" Kara looked suspicious.

After all, Shen You's performance in the dream was so invincible, he was almost like a god. Looking back at myself, I see my white and tender little hands, skin that can be broken by blows.

Can he really be that powerful?

She didn't believe it.

"Believe me, it's absolutely true." Shen You said seriously.

"Okay." Kara nodded weakly.

Shen You is not just bragging without any basis. After all, he is just a scientist and does not have the power of the Space Guard. If he didn't work hard, Calado would catch up in a matter of minutes by sunbathing.

Tom came to the store again early in the morning, looking very excited today.

As soon as he saw Shen You, he couldn't help but said: "Boss Shen! I have a new idea, this book will definitely be a hit!"

Shen You glanced at him, already not surprised.

"Don't you win if you don't stand the plane upside down?"

Tom blushed and shook his head: "That vest is unlucky, I have thrown it away. This is not the point! This time the idea is different, it will definitely work!"

As he spoke, he showed a mysterious and proud expression.

"This time I'm going to write an Ultraman book!"

"ah?"

Shen You, who was originally uninterested and didn't want to listen, stopped and raised his eyebrows.

Write about me? Did you pay royalties?

"Hahaha, that's right! This time it's a story about love and hope. It's about a giant from outside the sky who has god-like power to redeem this sinful world. It's a story about a distant monk who chants sutras!"

Sounds weird

Forget it, he is just a loser anyway, and no one will read what he writes, so just let him do whatever he wants.

Shen You shrugged, "As I said before, you will win if you don't enter the palace."

"It doesn't exist. This time I swear on my character." Tom took out his notebook from his bag and said, "No one can disturb me. I just said it and put it down. Today I will write the beginning here. I can't write it." Come out and don’t go back!”

"Well, then come on."

"."

After one hour.

Tom didn't know when he had sat down next to a beautiful girl at the next table, and the beginning of the seven words he had just written had already been thrown aside.

"Hi, beauty." He chatted up with a smile, "Want to know my secret identity?"

The girl glanced at him: "What? Are you Batman?"

"Ha, of course not." Tom held his head high, "I am a well-known writer on the Internet."

The girl looked him up and down and smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Ah."
