American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 115: Low physical damage, high mental damage

"Xiao Xian just publicly supported Superman when Superman cheated on his female teacher. Superman also publicly stated that he and Xiao Xian are good brothers and he is very grateful for Xiao Xian's support."

Nick Fury said sinisterly in his iconic trench coat
"As long as we spread the news that Xiao Xian was killed by a strange person and hype it up online, Superman will definitely come to help in order to protect his fans and public image."

Nick Fury got inspiration from Osborn's previous operations. Osborn's operations might be able to deceive the eyes of others, but they could not deceive Nick Fury.

However, Nick Fury did not choose to tell Stark about this. The reason was very simple, that is, he hated Stark. This guy called Nick Fury a one-eyed man and a blind man to his face more than once. If Stark was not a major shareholder of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury would have sent someone to kill Tony long ago.

"I think I can give it a try."

A female congressman thought for a moment and said that as a congressman, she understood best how many unwilling things people could do for the sake of their public image. Basically, more than half of her work tasks were to maintain her work image, and the biggest crisis was also a public image crisis.

If it weren't for her public image, she would have divorced her husband and gone their separate ways long ago. Of course, they are still going their separate ways now, but she still has to go home every night to face that face that disgusts her.

"Then let's do this, but what if Xiao Xian is not dead?"

The male congressman nodded in agreement, but he had doubts about Xiao Xian's death. When Spider-Man Peter Parker was first arrested, Xiao Xian seemed to have demonstrated the ability to transfer his body after death. This was information obtained from Peter Parker's brain when he was conducting human experiments on Spider-Man later.

Therefore, the targeted measures that the bureau had planned for Xiao Xian were changed to anesthesia and imprisonment, rather than killing him and burying him.

Of course, only a few companies in New York and SHIELD knew about this. After all, Xiao Xian was also a contracted artist of SHIELD in a sense. This kind of information would not be told to Gotham, Midtown and other forces.

"If we lock him up before Superman comes and wait until the storm has died down, but if he comes after Superman comes, is he going to watch Pennywise endanger New York? We can just broadcast the whole thing live and see if Superman still wants his hundreds of millions of fans." Nick Fury said confidently, playing a game of moral kidnapping.

"What?" In Metropolis, Superman looked at the obituaries issued by Oscorp and SHIELD, with a confused look on his face. Did Xiao Xian die together with the weird clown for the sake of the people of New York?
Is this something Xiao Xian could do? And doesn't he have super regeneration?
"It seems to be true. Xiao Xian led the clown into the magic circle, and then activated the magic circle to try to die with the clown. In the end, the clown survived, but Xiao Xian was completely destroyed. It is said that everything in the magic circle will be destroyed, not even a single cell will be left. So this time Xiao Xian may really not be able to super regenerate."

The female assistant explained that her source of information was Wayne Company, and that SHIELD and Osborn had also made relevant evidence public.

"Also, weirdness could be the cause of Xiao Xian's death. After all, weirdness is something very strange."

"This guy wanted to gain fame, but he didn't expect the magic circle would destroy every cell in his body. Even super regeneration can't save him. He's in trouble, right? Haha~ Is he kidding me?"

Upon hearing this, Superman immediately guessed that if it were Superman himself, he would do all kinds of things for fame. He watched the videotape for the sake of fame. He regretted it afterwards, very much. Ghosts would appear on TV in the middle of the night every day, keeping Superman awake, and even took away several of Superman's female companions.

Smashing the TV is useless, and the phone and computer screen can also be climbed. Reading fan messages and interacting with fans is a must-do for Superman every night before going to bed. This is really impossible to quit. Superman also tried to crush his phone before going to bed after reading it, but Sadako still appeared that night, and it seemed that she crawled out of the bed. Superman thought it would be better to let her crawl on the TV, at least in this way he would not wake up in the middle of the night and find himself sleeping with a cold person.

Although the guy who crawled out could not cause any substantial harm to Superman, the physical damage was not high, but the mental damage was great. Who could bear to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and see Sadako in their bed?

The key point is that Superman was happily checking fans' messages on his phone, but under Sadako's influence, the screen of his phone became distorted and then played the content of the original videotape.

With his own previous experience, Superman felt that Xiao Xian must have dealt with the weirdness for the sake of reputation. He said that he didn't care about the ranking, but he secretly dealt with the weirdness. Now he has failed.

These days, thanks to Xiao Xian's call and whitewashing, Superman returned to second place in the most popular rankings. Originally, there was still a big gap between him and Xiao Xian. Superman was worrying about how to catch up, but Xiao Xian suddenly failed and he once again became the first in the most popular superhero rankings.

Of course, the living No. 1s are strong opponents and teammates who can fight and cooperate with each other. The dead No. 1s are purely for show. Superman is very greedy for Xiao Xian's fan base.

"Immediately ask the best shooter to help me draft a long and heartfelt article in memory of Xiao Xian. Don't use a template. Make it appear sincere. Also, ask them to cut off half of the cape of my new battle robe and say it's a memorial to Xiao Xian. He has a family and stuff. Prepare generous gifts and reporters for me. I want to visit him as soon as possible!"

Superman couldn't wait to tell his assistant that this was a great opportunity to show off. Xiao Xian had so many fans, and if he could attract 10% of them, he would make a fortune. If the murderer who caused Xiao Xian's death was not weird, Superman would have to rush to take revenge.

Although he is confident that he is invincible and that monsters cannot break his defense, Superman is still very wary of strange existences like monsters.

"The shooter for Changwen is on his way. I will go cut the cape later. The family members don't seem to have heard about it, but there are rallies mourning Xiao Xian everywhere. Many girls are crying their hearts out. Hundreds of people have been rushed to the hospital." The female assistant replied.

"Great, which gathering has the most people?" Superman became excited when he heard this. This was a great opportunity to win people's hearts.

"Of course it's New York, where Xiao Xian is most active. My boss asked me to write a set of scripts for you. If fans ask you to take revenge, you just say it according to this and put the blame on SHIELD." The female assistant said as she handed a note to Superman.

Superman looked at the note

"Of course Xiao Xian and I are good friends, and I also want to avenge him, but SHIELD's secret base is SHIELD's top secret. Unless SHIELD requests it, I don't know the location and I don't have the authority to go there."

"And I believe that with the strength of SHIELD, they will be able to properly handle this incident. They are a professional agency that handles bizarre events, spending hundreds of billions of dollars on military expenditures every year. With superhero teams like the Avengers, they will definitely be able to defeat the bizarre events."

"Unless SHIELD is completely shameless and doesn't want next year's military funding, they will definitely not openly ask you for help." The female assistant said, "Besides, the headquarters of the Avengers is in New York. If this incident is not handled well, what qualifications does the Avengers have to be on par with your Justice League?"
