When the Super British Ruled the Earth[British and American]

At night, in the quiet room, Xilia tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

For some reason, what she saw and heard today kept lingering in her mind.The mournful expressions of countless people, the speaker's doubts about the harsh hero at the beginning, and the statue...

Celia holds up the Superman doll Michelle gave her.Except for a curly hair on the top of the head, which has a superhuman charm, the other parts of this doll are round, and the originality is not obvious.

Celia sighed.Her current irritability is meaningless at all, Chaoying is so far away from her, isn't it the same whether it was five years ago or now?Perhaps on this night, thousands of people are losing sleep over their favorite superheroes, and she is nothing special.

Thinking of this, Celia finally fell asleep gradually.

The next day, Celia accompanied Michelle to the hero memorial in New York.In New York, the popular superhero culture is different from that in Washington.Except that Superman is still popular, most of them are members of the Avengers, such as the characters of Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and Spiderman.

By the time they got on the plane back, it was clear that Michelle had grown closer to her.

The two returned to normal daily life. Michelle's character was cold and introverted. After returning, she never mentioned Spider-Man or any superheroes, as if this plane trip was a dream of Celia.

However, Celia always felt that there were some changes in her daily life.The road leading to the school is still the same road, the shops on the street have not changed, and the college students who greet her along the way are as enthusiastic as before... What has changed?

"Be careful--!"

While Celia was concentrating on her thoughts, she was suddenly pulled back, and then a car passed by almost three centimeters away from her toes.

Michelle was still in shock, she turned Celia over to check if she was okay, but seeing that Celia was still in a daze, Michelle felt a little helpless.After finally leading this out-of-body guy into the classroom, Xilia still looked absent-minded.

"Xilia, what's the matter with you, you have been absent-minded these two days." Michelle endured it, and finally couldn't help asking.

Celia slowly turned her head to look at Michelle.

"I think it's a bit strange." She murmured, "I have encountered more things in these few months than I have encountered in the past 20 years."

"For example?" Michelle was a little puzzled.

"For example, I was almost hit by a car today, and I nearly sprained my ankle yesterday, and there was a typhoon the day before yesterday, and the tree in front of our apartment was hung upside down..."

"Stop, what you said is nothing but ordinary things except today's more thrilling."

"It started when I met you." Xilia said suddenly.

"what?"

Xilia didn't look at Michelle, she murmured to herself, "My life has never changed since you transferred..."

From the moment she met Michelle, it seemed like a switch was turned on.Celia couldn't describe that feeling.It was as if, she used to live in a glass bottle and was protected... But suddenly, the glass bottle was removed, and the wind and rain began to blow in...

After thinking about this, Celia herself felt a little ridiculous—she acted as if someone was deliberately manipulating everything, but how could it be possible?

"I think you should see a psychiatrist?" Michelle also felt that there was something wrong with her, "Are you... a little stressed recently?"

Celia didn't know what was going on with her either.

All day, Celia could feel Michelle watching her.When class was over, Michelle said directly, "Don't go to the activities, let's go home all the way."

Celia shook her head.

"I have to go to work part-time today."

Despite Michelle's disapproval, Celia went alone to the coffee shop where she worked part-time.

After working all afternoon, it was almost dark when I got off work.

Xilia was cleaning the table, and the number of customers in the store gradually decreased as it approached the end of get off work time.She had to notice the guest sitting at the table by the window.He was wearing a sweater, with a hat covering his head, and was drinking a drink with his back turned to her.

After another half an hour, Xilia and other waiters tidied up the storefront, but the person still hadn't left.Celia had to walk over.

"That, please—"

Cars pass by outside the glass.Headlights illuminate the glass.

Celia saw that under the hood of this man, there was a red headgear similar to Spiderman on the bridge of his nose. His eyes could not be seen, only his mouth and nose were exposed.And the exposed skin of the man is full of bumps and hollows.

Celia just paused for a second, then said, "I'm sorry, sir, we are going to get off work, please..."

"okay."

The man lowered his head, drank the rest of the drink in the cup, got up, and left the coffee shop with his hands in his pockets.

Celia watched his back until the man turned the corner and disappeared.

What a strange man...why cover his face?

Celia thought about it again, it is still Superhero Memorial Month, maybe this man is a fan of which hero?

After another 10 minutes, Celia packed her things, said goodbye to the other waiters in the store, and then left the coffee shop.

Although even she herself felt that the "life has changed" she thought was a bit too unimaginable, but for the sake of safety, Xi Liya chose the relatively far but safest main road as the route home.

Although in the past 20 years, no matter how dark she was going home from the path, nothing happened to her.

An hour later, Celia began to reflect on which step she did wrong today.

After get off work, she took the road.Did not run through traffic lights, nor in a daze.Then, she was stuffed into a car and taken away in public.

When she was kidnapped, she did not anger the kidnappers, was willing to give them money, and was positive without being loud.

However, the kidnappers only searched her mobile phone, threw the money on the ground, covered her head and stuffed her into the back row. Only then did Xilia realize that she had compatriots.Another kidnapped man was also covered, and she heard him shivering and whimpering.

In the darkness, the car swayed left and right, like a boat on the sea rising and falling.In the darkness, Celia heard a muffled rumble in the sky outside the closed window.

It sounds like it's going to rain soon.

After an unknown amount of time, the car finally stopped, and Celia felt someone lift the cloth on her face, and then pushed her out.

They were located in an abandoned factory in the suburbs. When Xilia walked in, she found that there were already more than a dozen people squatting there shivering.Before she had time to take a closer look at the situation, Xilia was pushed over and squatted beside those people with another kidnapped young man.

Great, not only did she encounter all kinds of small accidents, but now she has even experienced this kind of big accident.

It was getting late, and except for a light at the gate of the factory that slightly illuminated them, the entire empty factory was plunged into darkness.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled up.

Among the kidnappers who kidnapped them, four were watching the hostages with guns, and the others gathered together and stood at the gate of the factory, seeming to be arguing in low voices.At this moment, the sound of a cell phone rang from one of the hostages, and the kidnapper immediately walked over, lifted the man out, and knocked him to the ground with the butt of his gun.

With the muffled sound of being beaten, the squatting hostages all sobbed tremblingly.

"God bless, God bless..." Some people murmured.

"...No matter who it is, please, come and save me." Another person sniffled and whispered, "My friend was kidnapped a few years ago, and it was the black widow who saved him..."

The hostages raised a glimmer of hope, and the next second, they remembered that the Chaoying had all disappeared five years ago.This time, someone started crying.

"Shut up, shut up!!" the kidnapper yelled.

The crowd fell silent.

Xilia heard a young man next to him talking to himself naturally, "Do they want money? I can sell the house and give them money, as long as I can go back alive..."

"I don't think they wanted money for the kidnapping." Shelia analyzed, "They didn't want anything except the mobile phone. Do you know what that means?"

"What does it represent?" the young man asked in a daze.

"It means that this is a premeditated terrorist/terrorist/attack/attack. We hostages should be used for deterrence. In other words, it's more ominous than ominous." Xilia sighed.

It's strange that she's not scared at all.

As soon as Celia said that, the young man choked up with even more fear.Just as the kidnappers were about to reprimand something, at this moment, there was a loud bang in the sky, and the rain began to patter down.With the muffled thunder, the light bulb at the factory gate crackled and finally went out.

All fell into darkness.

The kidnappers yelled angrily, and it seemed that some kidnappers took out a flashlight.But as soon as it was turned on, the flashlight suddenly flew out, followed by the man's painful groan...

"Who is it, who is it—??" the kidnapper roared angrily.

The scene fell into chaos, the kidnappers started shooting blindly, and there were sounds of fighting.The hostages screamed and started running, with Celia running the fastest.

She ran towards the outside of the factory, and at this moment, boom—a huge thunderbolt split across the sky, illuminating the world.Xilia stopped in her footsteps—so that she could not die, and in front of her was a kidnapper with a gun.

In that moment of daylight, Celia saw angry veins popping out of the opponent's neck, and he raised his gun—the world returned to darkness.

Celia took a breath and heard the gunshots...

There was another thunder, and the world was illuminated again. As if in slow motion, Celia saw the kidnapper's body slowly fall, and behind him stood another man.

She raised her head in panic, but unexpectedly bumped into a pair of blue eyes.
