American Comics: The Force Awakens

48. Carl’s Kryptonite Class

When Harry got up, he happened to see Karl scattering a bunch of things from a big box on the table, a bunch of shiny things.

The bright light from the pile made her rub her eyes.

"I thought Victor had given up on himself?" Harley asked, "Which jewelry store did he rob again?"

On the table was a pile of colorful stones, of different sizes, but all very bright.

"No, I actually bought this." Carl replied, "Remember the banknotes in our dear Mr. Falconi's warehouse?"

He made a fired-up gesture.

"They are now transformed into these things by me."

"What? I thought they had been burned by the clown." Harley asked. "Alberto has been feeling distressed about this for several days."

"You're committing a crime!" she imitated the exasperated Italian accent, laughing at her success.

"The fire dragon burned the warehouse." Carl shrugged. "I had exchanged the money long before that, and the clown just helped me destroy the evidence. Although the money has not been laundered, it is still okay to do some black market transactions. .”

"I used the money to pretend to be a rich man who was interested in meteorites online - everyone in this world has them anyway - and only paid in cash, and the sellers all thought I was taken advantage of. So it was easy for me to collect these things. "

"What, do you want to snap your fingers with these things?" She picked up a yellow crystal and closed her eyes. "I wish to become a big golden fluffy cat, meow."

"This is not 1984." Karl said helplessly, "And you are not Barbara Minerva. After all, whose bad taste is that strange wishing crystal?"

"Who knows, Patty Jenkins?" She opened her eyes and looked at herself. It seemed that nothing had changed, and she threw the crystal aside in disappointment.

"Wait, are you looking for kryptonite?" She suddenly reacted, "Who is that in front of me, Lex Luthor who just grew hair?"

"Actually, I have to remind you that Lex Luthor had hair for a long time," Carl replied. "The reason why he became bald in the first place is as bullshit as the reason why Superman first became afraid of kryptonite."

"Going back to our previous topic, other special crystals are also available, but after thinking about it carefully, the choices seem to be quite limited." Karl scratched his head. "I have been looking for a replacement for the Kyber crystal recently."

Kryptonite seems to be the easiest to find. After all, after Superman appears in the future, criminals in Metropolis will not dare to say that they are villains without bringing one with them.

Although this is also due to Luther's wholesale of artificial kryptonite, God knows how many irradiated stones fell into the earth from the bombed Krypton.

So after Carl got the money, he has been trying to buy those "meteorites of unknown origin" and "shiny stones that may contain radiation" on the black market.

Fortunately, no one knows the true efficacy of kryptonite yet. Currently, these stones are only sold as valuable meteorites and toys for the rich.

But that will be different in a few years. Even if it is useless by then, you can still sell it to Luther and make another sum. Well, it should be a big sum.

"Ah, I like your colorful flashlights." Harley said she understood. "When you get it done, remember to pick one with a different color for me."

"Who do you think you are, Director of SHIELD?"

In fact, it was because of Master Windu that Carl thought of finding a replacement. The color of his lightsaber was a rare purple. That was because the crystal of his lightsaber was not Kyber crystal, but From a planet called Helican.There lives a race whose bodies are made of rock and purple crystal.As a young man, Mace Windu once went on a mission there.A local man fell off a cliff and broke into pieces.Mace used the Force to piece him back together and revive him.In return for saving his life, the locals gave Mace a bunch of purple crystals, and he also got a sultry purple lightsaber.

Definitely not because he's Samuel L. Jackson.

"Yeah, whatever." Harley picked up a green stone casually. "Speaking of which, how did you know this thing is kryptonite? Did you sneak away to travel to the countryside of Kansas at some point that I didn't know about?"

Resurrection through the Force allows Carl to literally see the past of these stones, and what he has to do now is to find the stones that fell to Earth along with a space baby capsule when a high-tech planet exploded.

It's better to have different colors.

"Ah no, what you are holding is native to the earth." Karl looked at the irregular crystal in her hand and shook his head. "After all, it is inevitable to buy fakes."

"What about this?" She picked up another orange crystal.

"Let me take a look, it seems to be Yiwu?" Karl frowned.

"Ha, remember to ask for an appraisal certificate from an authoritative organization next time you buy something."

"And this one is the real kryptonite." He rummaged through the pile of stones for a while and threw out another green stone. "Finally, there is still something gained."

"And this one." He hesitated and threw out another red crystal.

Compared to the well-known effects of green kryptonite, red kryptonite is a little different.Red Kryptonite is produced by passing Green Kryptonite through a red cosmic cloud, and its effect is...very unstable.

In some stories, its function is to cause Superman to hallucinate, while in other stories, it causes Superman to lose his own moral code - although not as perverted as the people of the motherland.And some stories are even more outrageous - it will make Superman's skin transparent - who the devil came up with the effect of preventing Superman from basking in the sun?

As for other types of kryptonite - there are about 30 types, including different kryptonites from parallel universes, the earth is really not a very friendly place for Superman.

Especially since there are Batman and Luther, two young men on earth who collect kryptonite.

"So what are you going to do with him? Make a ring and wear it on your finger?"

"It's not good for your health."

Kryptonite is radioactive, at least to ordinary people.Lex Luthor made a kryptonite ring and wore it all the time - hoping to ward off Superman, but he got cancer and had to replace his body.The ring was given to Batman by Superman.

What a sad story.

Karl took out the lead box he had prepared in advance and put the stone in it.

"You can play with the rest."

In an inconspicuous corner next to the stones scattered on the table, a pink crystal shimmered slightly.
