As Superman’s Younger Brother, I Became a Native of the Motherland

Eric interrupted Clark, "I killed him, not you."

"Do you know the trolley problem?"

He suddenly asked Clark.

"what?"

"A tram came rushing, and at this time, 10 people were tied to the rails. Changing the track could save them, but one person would be killed. If it were you, what would you choose?"

"I?"

Hearing this strange question from Eric, Clark was stunned.

He didn't expect that Eric would suddenly ask such a question.

"I...I don't know."

Clark said in confusion.

He had an answer in his heart, but he didn't know if it was something he could be sure of.

Eric was silent for a moment, and said: "Some people choose to pull the lever, choose to sacrifice a few, and save the majority; some choose to play the role of a tram at the end; some people see that the driving force of this tram is human nature, and human beings are in the self. Destroyed to the end, but he couldn't stop the tram, he could only paralyze himself with absurdity; and some people, who were tied to the rails, were short-sighted and numb."

"And I, Clark, I'm the one who's never sure how it's going to work, because I'm not measuring the life of one person or ten people on the train tracks."

Eric looked into Clark's eyes, "I know what choice you will make, Clark, you will choose to save ten people, but you will not give up that one person, right?"

Eric knows Clark's temper and character well.

Clark has experienced a scene in the future, he needs to make a choice in the whole universe.

Exchange the death of a little girl for the peace of a universe.

This is more of an upgraded version of the "trolley problem".

An ugly, seriously ill little alien girl, lying in bed awaiting death, is a Superman fan and is genuinely happy to see Superman as an icon.

And she told Clark that she would be very happy if she died at Clark's hands.

This seems to be a good multiple choice question, with a dying little **** one side and the entire universe on the other, it seems that everyone knows how to choose.

But Clark didn't say a word, sat beside the little girl's hospital bed, and stayed with her quietly for a day and a night.

It's a simple multiple choice question, but he still can't make that decision.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because he is superman.

Although he is not very interested in Clark's spirit, it does not mean that Eric will forcibly reverse the trajectory of Clark's life.

"Dakes died not because of you, but because of me, and the only problem you have with it is choosing to trust me, Clark."

After a moment of silence, Eric said to Clark: "If trust can make you feel guilty or uneasy, then..."

Turning to leave, "You can choose to follow your inner voice."

Looking at the back of Eric leaving, Clark was stunned.

He didn't expect Eric to say that to himself.

Under the dim moonlight, Clark's eyes became brighter as he watched Eric's back disappear into the barn.

"Yes, instead of having unreasonable trust that leads to a path that the two may gradually diverge in the future, then... if it is something that feels wrong to you, even if you trust Eric, you have to propose it yourself. Instead of suppressing your own opinions, let yourself face the emotions that are suppressed in your heart.”

Clark, who figured everything out in an instant, felt that the haze in his heart was dispelled a lot at once.

With some joy in his heart, he stepped forward and followed Eric's footsteps.

On the other side, in the barn across the wall from Eric and Clark, Courtney, who was resting on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

She heard all the conversation between the two just now.

"Will you kill the host of Sky Devour's parasitic host without hesitation?"

Courtney, who had a complicated look in her eyes, thought of the Justice Society's treatment of its first host, Bruce Gordon.

I always thought it was wrong before, superheroes have a bottom line that cannot be crossed.

This bottom line is a clear standard used to distinguish between good and evil, between good and bad.

But now after listening to the conversation between the two, she has a dazed state of mind.

In my heart, I suddenly thought of the argument I had with Pat before.

He insists that "Shadow" (a member of the Injustice Society) is a villain, but Pat disagrees that "Shadow" is a total villain, saying that Shadow is "bad" but not "evil".

Although in her view, both are fully defined.

But now, she had some doubts.

Are "bad" and "evil" really not the same attribute?

She couldn't fall asleep because she was thinking about these rotten questions over and over in her mind.

Finally sat up all of a sudden.

He glanced at his stepfather next to him and found that he was sleeping sweetly, so he got out of bed and put on his boots, ready to go for a walk outside.

Leaving the warm bed, gently pushed the door open, and walked out without making any noise.

The whole night was completely covered by the dark sky, and Courtney, who could hardly see a trace of moonlight, took two steps forward along the street lights of the farm.

Suddenly, there was a noise near the bullpen.

"?"

At this time, is there a thief who steals cattle?

Courtney, who thought it was a thief, immediately became alert in her heart.

He picked up a stick from the side and walked towards the bullpen with his hands pinching his feet.

There aren't many cows in the stall, probably because of the rebuilding process, resulting in a sparse number of livestock on the farm, with only two cows in it.

Courtney tiptoed towards a dark shadow beside the cow.

It turns out that it was Eric, who was milking the cow with gloves on!

Concentrating on the milk-producing part of the cow, he frowned and squeezed out the milk again and again.

Under Eric's technique, the fresh white milk spurted out "zizily".

Eric didn't seem to notice that someone was peeping at him, and after squeezing it very carefully, he stood up with an iron bucket.

Looking at the fresh milk just squeezed out of the bucket with a frown, he sniffed close to his nose, revealing a somewhat complicated expression.

After taking his attention away from the cow, Eric looked at Courtney, who was stunned beside him.

"Courtney, what are you doing here?"

Although he was a little flustered about Courtney seeing her milking the cow, Eric immediately adjusted his mood and put on a poker face.

"Forehead......"

Courtney pointed to the iron bucket in Eric's hand, "Are you preparing... tomorrow's breakfast?"

"Do not."

Eric shook his head and made a serious expression, "This cow is a little uncomfortable. I will express some milk for it to make it feel better."

Chapter 189 Eric is arrested

Eric said in a natural tone.

He walked out of the cow pen with an iron bucket filled with fresh milk in his hand.

"In this weather, it's best not to go out."

Warned Courtney before leaving.

"You met Sky Devourer at school, didn't you?"

Courtney asked Eric as he brushed past her.

Eric stopped, "Yes, the information you and Pat provided were wrong, in fact... Sky Devourer was not released from the Heart of Darkness."

"how come?"

Courtney looked surprised. "Shadow told me."

"It seems that one of the two of you lied. But it doesn't matter now. Sky Devour has now been released from the 'Heart of Darkness'. In a sense, you are indeed right, it's just a time difference. A bit far."

"and also......"

Eric paused and said, "The host of Sky Devour - Cindy Boman has gone to hell."

"Go to hell?"

Courtney immediately took a step closer to Eric nervously, her tone a little flustered, "What do you mean? You mean... Cindy is dead?"

She and Cindy had a good relationship before, and even though the two became rivals after she became Stargirl, she couldn't help but care about each other's situation.

"Yes, literally."

Eric glanced at the milk in the bucket and said, "Sky Devour has dragged her to hell, or what is the 'land of shadows', no matter where it is, it is completely dead, right?"

"Is this... so?"

Courtney lowered her head a little uncomfortable, "Did Sky Eater kill Cindy?"

"I......"

After being silent for a moment, Courtney's eyes filled with tears, "First Tyler, then Beth, everyone left me, Sky Eater let them see the darkness in their hearts, I don't know how to deal with it, I tried Convince everyone, and it turns out that there is no turning back. Maybe... Eric, the enemy we faced was never the Sky Devourer, but ourselves."

"You can think so, it shows that the brainless Courtney has grown up a bit."

Eric continues to develop a "venomous tongue" against Courtney.

"Go back and rest, this is not something you can figure out in a short time."

As he said that, he carried the iron bucket and walked into the barn.

After walking a few steps, Eric turned his back to Courtney and said, "Don't go back to Blue Valley for the time being, and... don't tell anyone about the two of us tonight."

Courtney nodded, looked away and was about to respond when she found that Eric had disappeared.

Under the gloomy and dark sky, there was only a light beam of darkness that barely penetrated a few strands of night, illuminating the street lamp to the place where Eric was standing, but now it was empty.

Courtney looked at the place where Eric disappeared, let out a breath, covered her lips with some cold hands, and trotted to the bed.

She suddenly felt that maybe... Eric was not as nasty as she thought.

......

The next morning.

Courtney had just opened the door to find a group of police standing outside the door.

The chubby police officer at the head showed the stunned Courtney his police ID and arrest warrant. After introducing himself, he asked her, "Is this Eric Kent's house?"

The fat police officer with a red nose but a nervous look asked Courtney.

Courtney recovered from her daze, glanced at the fat police officer, then glanced at the two police cars outside, and said hesitantly, "Yes, this is Kent Farm, but you... ..who are you looking for?"

Courtney was talking to the fat police officer when two more bulging police officers came over, standing on either side of the fat police officer.

"Aren't Mr and Mrs Kent at home?"

Seeing two colleagues coming over, the fat police officer's inner tension eased a little, and asked her with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"They're not there."

When Courtney was about to say something else, Eric and Clark came over.

The two were also a little surprised to see so many policemen coming to the door.

After seeing Eric come out, the fat police officer immediately stepped forward and said to him: "Eric Kent, we now suspect that you are involved in a murder case, and hope you can go to the police station with us for investigation."

"Murder?"

Eric's brows rose, "I don't think you can arrest me without clear evidence."

He has destroyed all the key evidence about Dax last night, and has made plans for all situations, so he is not particularly worried about the police coming to the door.

"This is the arrest warrant, which guarantees our investigation power against you for at least 24 hours."

The fat police officer said to Eric seriously.
