A Future Arranged for You
Ba Di gently stroked the little girl's face with his finger; her skin was tender, soft, and comfortable.
The girl was a restless sleeper; her legs had kicked off the blanket, her mouth was slightly open with saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth, and she was lying in a crooked position, like a starfish.
"Is her name Louis Lane?"
Ba Di asked softly, his voice carrying through the quiet space without waking the little girl.
If it really is Louis Lane, then Ba Di will consider her future.
Design all sorts of futures for her, and put them in your own hands.
In most stories, the woman with the name Louis Lane is Superman's girlfriend, wife, or even the mother of his son.
The Al Family, the El Family Superman, are his enemies, and he will never let go of the wives of his enemies, no matter what.
This relentless pursuit isn't necessarily death, but in Ba Di's hands, it will definitely drastically alter their original future.
Since Superman hasn't landed on Earth yet, we don't know what preparations Joe El has made, whether he will land in Kansas as originally planned, or whether his presence has caused a strange detour, like the butterfly effect, making Superman hide.
If Superman cannot be found, then perhaps Louis Lane can be controlled to force or create a predestined connection between them, making them meet.
By that time.
He wanted the people of the El Family to suffer a fate worse than death! After considering many possible futures, Ba Di instantly decided that Louis Lane needed to be under his control.
A figure arrived at the door. The hallway light made Sam Lane appear very tall, blocking the light from outside the hallway. His human-shaped silhouette was cast on the ground.
"Ba Miu Luo Di!"
Sam Lane growled, his face grim. Only after learning the alien's true identity did he understand what he wanted to do.
I was so foolish to only realize his identity at this moment, and that there was no way to control him.
At the same time, he deeply resented General Vick, who, with his own Desire, dragged the entire country, and even humanity, into the abyss, which infuriated him.
The tall, white figure stood beside his daughter, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine.
Ba Di turned around, his eyes like black abysses, staring at Sam Lane's body. Sam Lane felt as if his pores were being pricked by needles, his hair standing on end. Ba Di's gaze seemed to have immense power, pricking his pores, and he was even more terrified.
Ba Di arrived late, or rather, he didn't actually arrive late.
However, from the very beginning, Death Knell had no intention of letting Ba Di go, but rather of killing Ba Di.
If you listen to what Death Knell says, let him go, and intercept the film, then Death Knell will simply walk away and escape with his life, regardless of what happens to the film.
Even if Ba Di had a way to restrain him and force him to retrieve the film, he would do so under pressure. However, the photos had already been seen, and simply returning the film to Ba Di would be useless, as Sam Lane still knew everything. But Ba Di didn't know that Death Knell had kept his promise, which offered a glimmer of hope at that point.
Regardless of whether Ba Di lets him find the film or restricts his search, and whether he can leave Ba Di's hands, the outcome will be that Sam Lane sees the photos.
Ba Di will also become a thorn in the side of the American Military, and will be captured like a stray dog.
Death Knell is determined to destroy Ba Di completely, both militarily and strategically, by leveraging the power of the entire American Military leadership.
Whether Death Knell lives or dies, he will have to deal with the future American Military leadership targeting Ba Di.
In the end, however, he suffered a crushing defeat. With just a few words, Ba Di deduced Sam Lane's identity. This kind of calculation ability and wisdom chilled him to the bone. It was as if he had godlike insight into the world.
He did indeed lose.
If he hadn't already died once and still wanted to survive, then he might have caused some trouble for Ba Di.
But that's impossible now. Death Knell in the future will live according to Ba Di's ideas without even realizing it.
Sam Lane held his breath, his body stiffening slightly.
The feeling of being Ba Di is terrifying, like facing a towering mountain, with a giant looking down on you. This difference in the nature of the creature is like an ordinary person facing a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex, making you unconsciously hold your breath and your heart tremble and pound.
He suppressed his racing heartbeat, glanced at his daughter, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"
He didn't pretend not to know Ba Di, because that would be foolish.
Ba Di looked at Sam Lane's left hand, which was holding a file bag, his fingers pressing it so tightly that the bag was wrinkled.
Sam Lane narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that Ba Di's gaze was fixed on the file folder.
"You're looking for this? What's inside?"
Sam Lane said, his heart pounding a little faster, his face solemn and his eyes looking at the file bag in his hand with suspicion and doubt.
His acting, channeling Oscar- winning actor, was so convincing that it was as if he had never actually seen the film.
Film and photographs are meaningless.
Once Sam Lane has seen it and knows about it, then it doesn't matter at all.
If Sam Lane survives Ba Di's clutches, Ba Di will inevitably be targeted by the American Military, as he wields considerable power within the American Military, knows a great deal, and can enable them to eliminate Ba Di.
Ba Di chuckled. When he arrived nearby, he had already seen Sam Lane see the photos in the third-floor study using X-ray vision and Telescopic Vision. Now, having the film and photos was meaningless.
"It's alright, I know everything, I've made plans for your future."
Ba Di smiled faintly and calmly walked towards Sam Lane.
As Ba Di emerged from the shadows, he seemed to spew forth Devil God abyss, each step treading on Sam Lane's heartbeat, causing him immense discomfort.
Sam Lane looked grim. He blamed himself for finding out too late, for being too stupid, and for General Vick's ambition. The things he had concealed would bring disaster to the entire United States.
"I can give you this document, and I can let you do whatever you want with me. My daughter is still very young and is not in any danger. I beg you to let her go."
Sam Lane lowered his head slightly; as a tough general, he bowed to Ba Di for his daughter's sake.
He knew that when Ba Di's power was unleashed, he, as an ordinary person, had no way to dodge or block it. Bullets couldn't even penetrate his skin, and he was completely unable to fight. He could only plead with him to spare his daughter.
"I've also made plans for your daughter's future."
Ba Di said calmly, already close to Sam Lane.
Sam Lane's expression changed drastically. He glared angrily at Ba Di and suddenly stepped back, trying to draw the pistol from his waist.
The instant Sam Lane stepped back, a large hand, like a dragon emerging from its lair, reached out from the doorway and, following his movement, grabbed his neck, easily lifting him up.
Without any struggle, he was pinned to the side by Ba Di's thumb, his head tilted, and his angry face remained unchanged before Ba Di choked him unconscious.
