People with superpowers are not superheroes [Comprehensive + British and American]

Yes, Superman, who can fly near the speed of light and grasp every bullet fired by a machine gun, is not very agile - and it makes perfect sense.

Just like most of the world's top rich people don't enjoy the extravagant life of the rich, either to be a superhero or a super villain, Superman disguises himself as a clumsy man in order to hide his oversensitive reaction ordinary people...

There is nothing wrong with that.

In fact, Qi Mu, like most readers across the dimension, also complained about the setting of "Superman wears a pair of glasses and the whole world becomes blind", but after seeing himself...

There are only exclamation marks all over the screen.

Superman and Clark Kent, one is always upright, with a gentle and confident smile, his movements are fast and steady, as if he is a god on earth belonging to the sky, and the other is wrapped in an oversized suit, bowing his waist Hunchbacked, shy when moving, ordinary reporters everywhere on the street... In order to distinguish it from Superman's soothing voice, Clark even raised his voice when he spoke.

It's ingenious, if only someone could actually cover half his face with thick bangs, a normal man with blue-to-human eyes hidden behind glasses, clothes that don't fit at all, clumsy hands, and the tiniest bit of an accent If he is connected with Superman, Qi Mu will suspect that he is also a superman.

——In that case, he is not the only person with special abilities in this world, maybe there are other people who have discovered Superman's human identity.

But seeing that he still tried his best to disguise himself in front of others, he probably didn't.

To be honest, Qi Mu felt quite admirable - although he himself also hides his identity as a superpower in his daily life, it is to let him disguise himself as a completely different person, but it is absolutely impossible.

Psychologically it won't work.

……

Qi Mu has been silent all the time, and Clark doesn't take it to heart. The short time with him is enough for him to understand that Qi Mu doesn't like talking very much-of course, he doesn't know the skill of a certain funny manga protagonist in his heart ——But this does not prevent this young man from being a kind and good person.

...So, how did you come to this conclusion?

If Qi Mu could hear Clark's heartbeat, he would definitely not be able to help complaining like this.

Qi Mu gave his hand, and Clark returned the things he knocked away in a "frantic manner". Qi Mu glanced and found that all the things were in the same position as before.

Literally, even the eyesight of a person with superpowers can't see the difference between the two placements.

Which point should I complain about, Superman's obsessive-compulsive disorder or his ability to control?

"Mr. Saiki..."

"Zimu is fine."

"Okay." Clark didn't react, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked inside with Qi Mu, "Where did I just say... By the way, my apartment is opposite this one, the layout of the two houses It should be the same... Uh, let me show you."

Qi Mu nodded: "Thank you."

"Need not."

It is said to take a look at the layout, but in fact there is nothing to see. The door directly opposite is a room door, and the inside is a small bedroom. A single bed and a desk fill the space. , and there is a bathroom next to it that is so small that it can only take a shower.The kitchen is connected to the living room, there is no oven, and there are even traces of rust on the old-fashioned range hood.

Other than that, it's worth the price.

"If you take a shower, this side is hot water, this side is cold water, and the button for the exhaust fan is here... Uh, sorry, please let me go."

Qi Mu watched as Clark introduced the operation method of the shower device, and it seemed that he was struggling to turn around in it... He thought it was okay, but it was hard to imagine how this 1.9-meter-high man could survive in this environment.

So the job of being a superhero really is volunteering, right?Otherwise, how could Superman live in such a place.

Risking your life, being visible, not getting paid - sure enough, it's better to be a normal person.

While thinking wildly, Qi Mu followed Clark and walked around the apartment. Although the place is small, the furniture is quite complete, and there are some boxes and odds and ends, which seem to be left by the previous tenant.

"..."

Qi Mu looked at a box of unsealed condoms in the crevice of the armchair.

"...cough cough." Clark followed his gaze, and immediately showed an embarrassed expression, "The original tenant...Mr. George is in a hurry to leave, and maybe he didn't have time to clean up."

"In a hurry to leave?" Qi Mu repeated.

"Well, it seems that the company was attacked by thugs when I was at work... Although Superman arrived soon, he was still a little frightened. Mr. George said he wanted to change the working environment." Clark said tactfully.

... In your world of superheroes, are the troubles of ordinary people so hard-core?

"..."

Qi Mu was lost in thought.

To be honest, he was a little moved—the original reason for his refusal was that he didn’t want to have anything to do with these superheroes, but he knew it after seeing the “two people” of Superman and Clark, and no one would link these two people together— ——At least in those "scenes" that Qi Mu has seen, no one except the closest people knows Superman's human identity.

In other words, Clark Kent is actually no different from an ordinary person.

——Or an ordinary person whose conduct is more correct than that of most human beings.

At least, even if you know that the neighbor across the wall has the ability of x-sight and super hearing, you don't need to worry about whether your secret will be discovered - trust in superhuman character is one aspect, on the other hand, Superman's control over his own abilities is much stronger than Qi Mu himself.

...It's really enviable. You must know that when I was a child, after Saiki confirmed that his superpowers would probably be with him for a lifetime, his annual New Year's wish changed from "disappearing all superpowers" to "be able to control all superpowers" , and finally became "at least can control mind reading".

—But these wishes have never been fulfilled, he has given up.

Far away, besides this, it is also the point that makes Qi Mu's heart the most... This is a world where superheroes and super villains coexist. Although it is said to stay away from troubles, sometimes troubles cannot be avoided if you want to, Qi Mu Mu is ready to use super powers as a last resort in case of various emergencies.

If Superman is on the opposite side of the house... In case some villain Twitch wants to build an ordinary apartment one day, he doesn't need to take action.

Superman will fix everything.

The more Qi Mu thought about it, the more it made sense.

The only thing is...

"Excuse me, how is the traffic here?"

"transportation?"

"I go to school in New York."

After all, this is a metropolis. Although it is on the edge, it would be troublesome to go to school in New York from here every day.

What, saying that he can teleport over there directly with superpowers?

It has been said that Qi Mu wants to live like an ordinary person when it is not necessary. It is completely impossible to use superpowers in order to sleep an extra hour a day or to be lazy and walk less.

——After all, he has a physical problem. Even if he sleeps less, he won't be sleepy, and he won't be tired no matter how long he walks, so it's completely unnecessary.

Clark, who also doesn’t need sleep and has the ability to move at high speed—but still squeezes the bus to and from get off work every day, shows an understanding expression on the “traffic problem” raised by Qimu: “Where is your school?”

Saiki named a place.

"There, let me think about it..."

Although there is no need, Mr. Superman with a super brain pretended to think for a while, and then said: "I remember that place, if you start from here, you can go directly to it by taking the subway a dozen stops, compared to the place in the center of the metropolis." The Daily Planet—oh, that's where I work, and your school seems to be closer."

Speaking of this, Clark felt a little guilty—the rent here is indeed very cheap, otherwise he wouldn't rent here... At the same time, it also caused him to squeeze in an hour's car to get to and from get off work every day.

Even if he actually leaves the house early every day, Superman's work often makes him almost late-for the perfect attendance bonus, he still occasionally uses his ability to cheat.

"I see."

Qi Mu nodded. Now that the decision has been made, he did not delay, and simply confirmed it: "I want to rent this apartment."

As he said that, he faced Clark and bowed slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Kent, and Mr. Superman too."

"Need not."

Hearing that he still thanked Superman, Clark was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily.The man was obviously over twenty, yet he still smiled shyly like a teenager.

He actually has tiger teeth——
