[Comprehensive British and American] Superhero Manual

Karl's plan to go out failed in less than half an hour.

The reason is simple. After finding out that Carl was missing, the worried Elisa immediately went out to look for it, and soon found Carl who was looking around excitedly by the side of the road.

In fact, Karl is just observing the living conditions of the residents here, hoping to find something different.But when he saw Elisa, he immediately ran to join her.

By the way, I got a gentle little complaint.

Although he didn't stay outside for long, Karl also saw a lot of scenes and experienced a part of their lives.

People in this world have indeed lived a better life, whether it is the rapid development of technology or the relationship between people, they are all better.

What the Lord of Justice said and what Elisa agreed with are all true and effective.

This is a more peaceful, stable and better world.

Even with some blemishes, it's close to perfection.

Carl followed Elisa back to her home contentedly.

Although the body has become smaller, superpowers have disappeared, and even the ability to travel through parallel worlds has become unstable, but even in such a bad situation, there are still things to be thankful for.

Behind the departure of the two figures, one tall and one short, there is something hidden in the dark.Spreading silently.

one year later.

Karl has gradually become accustomed to life in this world.

Even so, he is not without the idea of ​​going home, in fact, every moment, he has an urge to go back to his father immediately.

Reluctantly, his unbalanced mutant ability has not been recovered. Until now, Karl is still in this world, waiting for the opportunity to return home that will appear at an unknown time.

At the beginning, Karl also had the idea of ​​asking the justice lords for help.

What he thought at the time was that after his superpowers came back like he did when he was ten years old, he would go to Superman and Batman, because they would definitely have a way to send him back.

However, with the passage of time, not only did his super power not recover smoothly, but the idea at first gradually faded away.

Karl gradually realized the biggest difference between Justice Lords and Justice League.

He also knew how ridiculous his initial thoughts were.

The so-called better world is completely imaginary, and it is impossible to realize it only with the current social system.

Karl can admit that since he saw the Justice League in a different world for the first time when he was a child, because of his own identity, he has had an indelible longing for Superman.

He regards Superman as his idol, even a guiding light on the road of life, and his biggest dream is to become a superhero like Superman in the future.

So, after coming to this strange parallel world, although it is very different from the world he knows, he still blindly puts on a filter to look at Superman.

What's more, the words promoted by Lord Justice are so exciting - to create a peaceful, stable and beautiful world!

Wouldn't it be nice to live in such a world?

Of course it was good, Karl was convinced of it for a while.

But ah, those things hidden in the dark will one day be exposed to the sun.

— Freedom.

This incomparably precious thing was so easily obliterated.

Because in order to avoid the possibility of crime, people are restricted from traveling, and freedom of speech is gradually disappearing. Who knows that the next sentence you say will not violate the new law?

People really don't get killed by crime anymore, they die in what is called a "safe" place.

Prison, nursing home?Anyone who commits a small crime, they will all be thrown here.

Carl saw with his own eyes that just because of a small dispute, the uncle of the neighbor's family was taken away by the roaring police car and sent to prison.

How did that happen?

At that time, he unknowingly uttered the question in his heart, but Eliza, who was on the side and heard his question, couldn't answer it.

It was only later that Karl discovered that the Hitchens family's stuff about the Lord of Justice was slowly dwindling.

In the end, no trace was left.

Awe turned into fear. Facing the righteous lords, the crowd who originally admired them from the bottom of their hearts ended up with nothing but fear in their hearts.

In awe, only "awe" remains.

Carl was deeply touched by this.

When he first met Eliza, the latter was still a person who fanatically worshiped the Lord of Justice, but now, a year later, there is no trace of fanaticism in her body anymore.

Many times, Carl could only see her sad profile.She looked out the window, seeming to be thinking about something.

Under heavy pressure, there are indeed people who dare to resist, and such an incident was broadcast on a certain news.

An enthusiastic crowd of college students waved homemade banners in protest, and the police tried to subdue them, but with little success.

However, when two members of the Lord of Justice flew here, before they landed, they immediately spotted the figure of the former.After that, the students either fled in panic, or hid in place trembling.

The newscaster commented in a contemptuous tone that all those who try to resist the existing rule are beyond their limits.

Karl couldn't stand the rest of the content.

He couldn't help but wonder, is the concept preached by the Lord of Justice correct?

After all, everyone would look forward to living in a peaceful and beautiful world.

But why would it cause the current situation instead?

Later, Carl finally figured it out.

Even if the idea is right, they are going in the wrong direction to begin with.

Although Superman is called the god of the world, he is not a god after all, and he also has the side of ordinary people.

Also, even God is not entirely right.

When he realized this, the faint altar in Carl's heart collapsed, and the phantom that belonged to Superman enshrined on it gradually disappeared.

Superman is not a god, Carl has never been more aware of this.

Even though he was hit hard, Karl was still helpless.

For unknown reasons, his Kryptonian abilities have not been recovered. Until now, he is still an ordinary young man.

Carl's heart was full of guilt for the Hitchens family.

When he came to this strange world, he had nothing and even lost his ability. He should have encountered embarrassment, but he was taken in by kind people. Karl was very grateful to Elisa.

But it is really because of the limitations of his current body that Karl cannot make an effective return for such selfless dedication.

Because of this mentality, Karl often tries to lighten Eliza's burden.

He will also take care of little Roy in many ways.

Although in Karl's heart, the desire to go home deepened day by day.

He couldn't think about how worried and worried his family would be when he suddenly disappeared for a year.

This kind of thing, as long as you think about it for a while, is an indescribable pain.

So Karl has been avoiding thinking about this kind of thing. He believes that he will definitely return to his own world.

—Only this, he never doubted.

※※※※※※※※※

All unexpected things are called accidents.

Since coming to this world, Carl has often been accompanied by "accidents".

He thought that after the past year, this word would no longer appear around him, but many things were unpredictable.

And most accidents are often associated with unfortunate things.

If it is a lucky thing, then it is not called "accident" but "surprise".

It should have been a normal day.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the high-rise buildings in the city, bringing a slight temperature, as if those giant steel beasts that were row upon row became gentle because of this.

Everything at dusk seems to become lovely.

Carl followed Elisa to pick up Roy. The boy was organizing a spring outing in class today, and it was time to go home.

The boys and girls who came out of the school bus merged into a stream of people and walked in a file to where the parents stood.

After some less cumbersome procedures, Eliza took Roy's hand and walked home.Carl was right next to them.

The little boy was carrying a schoolbag that was much lighter than in the morning, and happily described to Eliza the scene of their spring outing.

The latter listened with a gentle smile on his face, nodding his head from time to time.

It was rare for Karl to have a childlike innocence. He secretly stepped on the shadow that followed him on the ground, having a great time playing.

Calm down to a sharp gunshot.

The man who was chased by the police car and ran away in a panic ran here. He was holding a small pistol. The gun was obviously equipped by the police.

He was wearing half a handcuff, and he flicked it as he ran. It is very likely that he broke free from the police and escaped when he was arrested.

The man obviously couldn't escape.

But he kept shooting back, as if it would give him a sense of security and escape prison.

The guns equipped by the police have extremely strong penetrating power, and the number of bullets that a gun can hold is also amazing. Naturally, the consequences are also very bad.

Pedestrians on the street have dispersed one after another, not to hinder the police from enforcing the law.

Elisa pushed Carl to the side of the street first, then picked up Roy and ran to the crowded place.

This is what most people do subconsciously. Hiding in the crowd makes them feel more secure.

The accident happened at this time.

A bullet fired randomly by the man being hunted pierced the air and flew straight towards the crowd with the sound of howling wind, about to sink into someone's back.

Elisa, who was the last one, was completely unaware of the coming danger. Until a hideous blood flower bloomed on her back, she still hugged her child tightly, with a worried expression on her face.

This change even stunned the shooter, and the surrounding crowd quickly fled here after a short period of stagnation.

When the police car stopped and surrounded the fugitives, the pedestrians had already dodged far away, and the mother and child lying on the ground, as well as the teenager standing aside were very conspicuous.

When he saw Elisa's fallen figure, there was a huge roar in Carl's ears, and everything around him seemed to be a silent pantomime, only the blood that was still warm and glaring red .

He hesitated to approach the person lying on the ground, as if he could tell himself that all of this was false.

This is the first time Karl has faced such a death. It is not an alien he has dealt with, nor a criminal who died for other reasons, but a pair of kind mother and son who have been with him day and night for a year.

But in the past few seconds, Karl felt that he had gone through several reincarnations in pain.

He finally moved his feet, but stepped on something hard under his feet.

Carl lowered his head dully, his eyes focused.

—It was the bullet.

The bullet that had penetrated the Hitchens mother and child, and was still stained with bright blood.

Karl's hands trembled, something that had been suppressed deep in his body suddenly exploded under this intense emotional collision!

It was a strange fluctuation of power, which penetrated everything and passed to someone who was about to leave this world.

In the next second, he rushed here at high speed!

And here, Carl's field of vision in front of his eyes was occupied by a large area of ​​bright red. He subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but he was unsuccessful. fall.

Carl's mind was clear, and the voice in his ear suddenly expanded, as if it had spread to the whole world.There was a cold breath lingering in his chest, and his body, which was a little weak before, gradually became stronger.

His Kryptonian powers are back.Carl knew it well.

But at this time, this long-awaited event did not make Karl happy. His eyelids trembled, and two lines of tears fell down suddenly.

Why couldn't he restore his strength earlier and save them?Karl had never hated himself so much for a moment.

He tried to grope for it, but realized in the next second that the current self, even the hardest underground, would press a hole.

However, Karl, who closed his eyes and heard endless noises in his ears, did not see that the policemen who had successfully captured the fugitive were surrounding him, watching the big pit in front of him vigilantly.

At the same time, a white figure slowly fell from the sky. He was wearing a uniform similar to Superman's, but the color was extremely white, and he looked very imposing.

The policemen immediately made way for him with extremely respectful expressions.

That is their white god.
