American comic book red Superman

Luo Wei felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that the Green Snake meant well, and he also reminded her that it would be best to train her control over her own energy first.

After spending time with the snake several times, he discovered that the green snake had not yet fully mastered the energy within its body, and it would often become chaotic or unable to condense.

"I'm serious, I really can teach you."

Before Green Snake could say anything more, Luo Wei, who was in front of her, had already gotten up and gone into the bathroom. Sitting on the sofa, she belatedly realized, "Wait a minute, how did Xiao Wei know about my physical condition? Am I already that obvious?"

[PS: Just one chapter today, I'll make up for it with 12,000 words tomorrow. I need to organize my thoughts on the American plot first, because it involves a lot of original stories and characters, mainly the characters, and how they should appear.]

Chapter 65, Section 064: Superman's American Journey (Part Two)

Since the incident involving the Chi Soul of Dongying, life has returned to normal. However, the Superhero Alliance of the Self-Strengthening Ministry has provided citizens with more topics to talk about after meals, especially when it comes to Superman and the Superhero Alliance. Many people believe that the government should invite Superman to join. After so many events, many people regard Superman as the top combat force of Chinese superheroes, and Superman has gradually become an inseparable part of many people's hearts.

Someone even started an online poll asking whether Superman should join the Superhero League. The result was obvious: the support rate reached over 80%, a completely one-sided situation.

The Self-Strengthening Ministry has also discussed this matter. Naturally, they hope more than anyone else that Superman will join the Superhero Alliance. On the one hand, Superman's powerful strength has not only been demonstrated in China, but also deeply shocked the Japanese in the Chi Hun incident. However, unfortunately, apart from internal personnel, no one in Japan knows that Superman has been to Japan.

Therefore, outsiders only know that the Self-Strengthening Department assisted the Japanese in resolving the Chi Soul, and that the Japanese sacrificed four top superheroes for this, at a terrible cost, which almost caused the fledgling Superhero Association to fall apart.

On the other hand, the Self-Strengthening Department knows that after Superman seized the door knocker, he also took the underworld token from Chi Hun. They currently do not know what Superman intends to do with these two items, which makes them wary of him.

Judging from the actions of both Chi Hun and the Japanese, the token is undoubtedly a very important and extremely tempting item; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be so eager to obtain it.

The top brass of the Self-Improvement Ministry hopes that Superman can explain things clearly.

"Doctor, still not resting?"

In the laboratory of the research institute at the headquarters of the Self-Strengthening Department, Hua Xin walked in and saw that the lights were still on, and Dr. Ou Men was standing in front of the computer with a serious frown on his brow.

"Not sleepy yet."

Dr. Eumen glanced at her and shook his head.

"Are you researching Superman?"

Hua Xin saw that the photos on the screen were all related to Superman. Some of them were photos of the Jing Si Taoist Temple and "Chiyo Blade" taken from airport surveillance footage, which was exactly what Superman looked like in disguise.

"Ah."

Omen nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Hua, you've had contact with Superman. What kind of person is he?"

"I think he's still quite young, unruly, arrogant, and always acts on his own. He always has an extreme way of upholding justice."

Without even thinking, Hua Xin blurted out that she was probably more familiar with Superman than anyone else, since she was the only one who had the most contact with him and had previously been in charge of investigating his identity.

"That was not what I meant."

Omen shook his head. His short, milky-gray hair looked vibrant under the light, and his handsome, sculpted face revealed a hint of worry.

"Doctor, are you worried that Superman will go out of control?"

Hua Xin saw through her thoughts and said.

"Well, we still don't even know Superman's identity. His existence is like a time bomb; we have no idea when he'll explode."

"I might be being a bit hypocritical," Omen said worriedly. "I really hope that China can become strong."

While acknowledging the potential of superheroes, there was also some concern that overly powerful superheroes might be uncontrollable and could lead to a difficult situation.

Hua Xin listened in silence. The problem the doctor mentioned was difficult for anyone to solve, especially since it was Superman back then.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ou Men didn't continue the previous topic. Instead, he said, "Xiao Hua, there's something they need you to do. Find Superman and find out about the door knocker and the token."

"Ah."

Hua Xin wasn't surprised to hear about the task. It would have been surprising if the higher-ups hadn't mentioned it before, since the door knocker and the token were threats in themselves. Even if they couldn't get them, the higher-ups would still want an explanation.

After receiving a new mission, Hua Xin didn't stay any longer and prepared to return to her dormitory before heading to Green Vine City, a city where Superman frequently appeared.

"Ugh"

Eumen sighed to himself and continued reading the report about Superman.

In Green Vine City, more than half a month has passed since the Chi Soul incident. During this time, Luo Wei has been visiting other cities as usual, but he hasn't encountered any major cases, only minor ones. Even the major cases are already being followed up by official organizations, and he hasn't rashly joined in, as doing so might do more harm than good and could lead to some unnecessary sacrifices.

As for the Green Snake, the little girl spent most of her time at home in the past few days. She didn't have to go to school, so she stayed at home and supplemented her knowledge of the modern world by reading books. She has been awake for some time now, and she knows some basic common sense about modern life. She can also recognize most of the characters, so she can at least live a normal life.

Not long ago, Green Snake also started leaving early and returning late, and she always came back looking sickly, or rather, exhausted. It seemed that she was participating in training arranged by the Self-Improvement Department.

It makes sense, after all, the Self-Strengthening Department has established the Super Hero Alliance, and in the future, it will definitely be a team operation. Therefore, team tactical coordination is needed, as well as the improvement of individual abilities. Especially for members like Green Snake, who are not proficient in controlling their own abilities, it is necessary to carry out systematic professional training.

The Green Snake probably knows now that social security and housing fund benefits are hard to obtain, and those large sums of money every month are even harder to get. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

However, she still has time to rest on weekends. She doesn't have to train on Sundays, so on Sundays, she spends the whole day lying on the chair on the balcony and sleeps from morning to afternoon.

When Luo Wei arrived at the balcony, the Green Snake was still fast asleep. Her fair face was slightly flushed in the sunlight, and she was as beautiful as a moon and as delicate as a flower, serene and exquisite. However, the glistening moisture at the corner of her mouth marred her beauty.

"Hey, wake up."

Luo Wei patted her cheek. Sometimes he really wondered if the Green Snake was going to hibernate. Autumn in the south is usually not cold, but the temperature was really low today. People outside were wearing coats and long shirts.

"Is it afternoon already?"

Green Snake rubbed her bright, watery eyes and asked sleepily.

"It's past four in the afternoon, you've been sleeping all day."

Luo Wei held out his watch to her and asked, "Xiao Qing, are you going to hibernate?"

"Nonsense, I'm a human, how could I hibernate?"

As Green Snake spoke, he slapped his forehead and immediately jumped off the chair.

Stepping down, barefoot on the cold floor, I said, "I almost forgot about the important matter. Sister Xiaohua, you're still waiting for me."

"Hey, are you going to training this weekend too?"

Luo Wei was still thinking of finding a few opportunities to subtly teach Xiao Qing how to control her power, but he didn't expect the little girl to jump off the chair, put on her slippers, and run out the door.

"No, it's something else."

Before long, the green snake had run out the door, and the echo of her voice could be heard in the corridor.

"never mind."

Seeing her leave, Luo Wei decided to deal with the teaching later. He then changed into his battle uniform and went out. He figured it was boring to stay home alone, so he might as well go out for a stroll and maybe catch a few unlucky guys.

Sure enough, Luo Wei was lucky. He encountered several battery thieves as soon as he went out. It wasn't just one gang, but three groups of people. He caught three of them at once.

"Superman, isn't today Sunday? Don't you get a day off on Sunday?"

High in the sky, Luo Wei was holding two people in each hand. One of them looked down and felt dizzy. He looked up and shouted.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Wei was puzzled.

“There are many rumors circulating in the underworld that you usually don’t come out on Sundays. You weren’t there when we were stealing batteries last Sunday.”

The thief responded with a shout, his tone tinged with pride.

"Damn it, you idiot, shut up!"

His accomplice kicked him, his eyes wide with shock. Someone had actually confessed, bringing up the crimes he committed last week.

"You're quite honest. When you get to the station, remember to repeat what you just said."

Lowe smiled to himself, thinking that these guys were quite shrewd, having specifically figured out Superman's activity schedule and choosing to act when he wasn't around.

He rarely goes out on Sunday afternoons, spending most of his time at home resting and spending time with his family. Even Superman is still human, and he has his free time. He can't be out fighting crime every day; otherwise, what's the difference between him and a machine?

But after hearing what this guy said, he decided to take some time to go out for a stroll on Sunday afternoons from now on.

"We've arrived at the place where you'll have food and lodging."

As Lowe pondered, he flew over the police station, carrying a few lifeless guys, and landed in the backyard. It was afternoon and there was no one in the yard, but even if there were, they wouldn't mind Superman landing there, especially since he brought four prisoners with him.

"You four, stay put, I'm listening."

Lowe left the four people behind and was about to leave when one of them breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him leave. But then he saw Superman stop, and the others' hearts jumped again.

However, Luo Wei wasn't targeting them. Instead, he turned to a corner and said, "Miss Hua, do you really enjoy hiding like this?"

The four were puzzled and looked towards the corner. Two figures walked out one after the other. The woman in front was tall with long, shapely legs. She said with embarrassment, "Sorry, you wouldn't have shown up if I hadn't been hiding."

"Sister Xiaohua, did you bring me here to find Superman?"

Green Snake yawned, looked at Superman and thought to himself that he should sleep a little longer. Besides, at this hour, his cousin—no, Little Wei—should already be cooking, and his aunt and uncle would be back soon.

"Xiaoqing, be serious."

Hua Xin offered her blessings, then looked at Superman again and said:

I have something very important to ask you. If you don't mind, we can talk upstairs.

"Row."

Luo Wei guessed that it must have been a high-ranking official from the Self-Strengthening Department who sent Hua Xin to find him, because this woman, like Liang Zhongping, had an extremely fast heart rate when facing him.

Don't overthink it; it's not just being moved, it's trembling in your heart.

The office on the second floor was the same one they had visited before. When the three of them entered, a pot of tea had already been brewed, and the whole office was filled with the aroma of tea.

"You came to see me about the door knocker and the token?"

Luo Wei sat down on the sofa opposite Hua Xin and, without beating around the bush, directly stated the purpose of her seeking him out.

"Yes, the higher-ups take door knockers and tokens very seriously."

Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Superman's initiative in bringing it up meant that he was willing to discuss the topic, and only if he was willing to discuss it could today's conversation continue.

She continued, "I don't know if you're familiar with the legends of the underworld. Some time ago, our archaeologists discovered stories about the underworld in the ruins. According to the records, one can enter the underworld through a door knocker, and it's mentioned that one can gain great power from it. That token is the same."

"Stop, stop, I know all that you're saying."

Luo Wei interrupted, too lazy to listen to nonsense, "You came to me to get them back, right?"

"Yes, because the door knocker and token cannot fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives. After what happened at Jing Si Taoist Temple and in Sichuan and Chongqing, you and I both know that the Japanese and the White Triads want them. And these two organizations are only a small part; there are many others who are eyeing them."

Hua Xin was afraid of angering him, so she told him all the drawbacks in one go.

"If possible, I would also like to give you the door knocker and token, since they are of no use to me."

Luo Wei took a sip of tea and patiently explained that he did this simply to avoid being bothered by the Self-Strengthening Department, as that would be very troublesome.

He continued, "Also, your intelligence is wrong. Entering the underworld will not grant you any power, and ordinary people who go in may never come out."
