“Tell me, you didn’t rob a bank yesterday,” Catherine said to her daughter, clinging to a last shred of hope, incredulously.

"Of course I didn't."

With a high nose bridge and fairly pretty features, Tina, with her long reddish-brown hair, smiled.

Before Catherine could catch her breath, she put down the towel, and a chilling and bizarre scene unfolded.

Kaka!

Tina's flesh flowed like putty, her appearance suddenly changed, her body grew taller, her frame widened, and she turned into a bald Luther with a sneer on her face.

"It was Lex Luthor who did it."

Chapter 22 Black

……

"It was Lex Luthor who did it."

Tina spoke in a rough, masculine voice, her tone flippant.

After saying that, she returned to her original state, playing with her hair with a hint of regret.

"It's a pity that the flaw was discovered in the signature, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to snatch it yesterday."

"You told me you wouldn't use this ability anymore!"

"My daughter really robbed the bank," Catherine said, her lips trembling with anger and heartbreak.

“I’m doing this for our own good. After my father passed away, we relied on this deserted antique shop on the street, and gradually we even had trouble finding food and clothing.”

Tina tried to persuade her mother; her pupils dilated with excitement, and her face flushed.

“Look at this money, this is just the beginning, soon I will be able to live the same life as Lana.”

Both are shops, but Lana's aunt's flower shop makes much more money than this dilapidated antique shop, something Lana, who grew up in a poor family, deeply admired.

"Enough! I don't want to see you get hurt!"

"Injuried?"

She reacted as if she'd heard a joke.

"That bank security guard shot me twice in the back, but it only ruined one of my suits."

“Tina, no one’s life is perfect,” Catherine said, trying to soften her tone.

"Lana's!"

Tina's expression turned cold, and she interrupted him directly.

She had heard these words countless times since she was a child.

Lana was like a swan, from a wealthy family, beautiful and charming, loved by everyone since childhood, and the center of attention wherever she went, while Lana was just a dusty, ugly duckling by the roadside.

"This money was stolen."

Not wanting to argue with her daughter any further, Catherine looked upset and angrily walked downstairs.

“I will return it to them and say that I found it next to the garbage truck.”

"Don't do this, Mother, why can't we be happy?"

Tina impatiently rushed forward and grabbed the schoolbag, trying to snatch it away.

Boom boom boom!

During the struggle, she used too much force, and Catherine lost her grip on the bag, fell backward down the stairs, her old body rolled several times, and her head finally hit the wall hard, causing her to lose consciousness and her life hanging in the balance.

"mom!"

Tina's eyes widened, and she hurriedly ran downstairs, throwing down her schoolbag. She wanted to make an emergency call, but as soon as she picked up the phone, she suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, her face gradually turning cold, and then put it down.

……

Before physical education class.

Everyone was changing into their sportswear in the locker room.

"what!"

Clark suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. He rubbed them hard and opened them again, startled, and let out a scream.

The room was filled with skeletons covered in blood and flesh, with even the blue and purple blood vessels clearly visible within the flesh, like a scene from a horror movie.

"Clark?"

Pete, standing nearby, wondered why he had screamed.

But to Clark, it was a fleshy skeleton that turned its head, and he was so frightened that he stepped back.

"My eyes! My eyes..."

"what happened?"

Another muscular, ancient Greek-sculpted skeleton turned its head, frowning.

Seeing Clark suddenly scream in surprise, David, who had just changed his shirt, asked.

"I……"

As Clark retreated in a panic, his eyes suddenly pierced through the wall and saw the women's changing room next door.

One by one, girls wearing underwear were changing clothes, and among them was a familiar figure—Lana.

Black……

The future Superman's eyes gradually widened, as if he were seeing a beautiful and pleasing landscape, and a smile with his white teeth unconsciously appeared on his lips.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

Pete asked again, "What's wrong with Clark?" After his initial surprise, Clark stared blankly at the wall, grinning foolishly.

"nothing."

Clark snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and quickly dealt with Pete.

After Pete left, he continued changing his clothes slowly, gazing longingly at the wall.

David glanced at the wall over there, which led to the women's changing room, and then at Clark's eyes, which were practically glued to the wall. He immediately guessed what was going on.

"Your nose is bleeding, Clark."

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Distracted, Clark frantically touched his nose, but found nothing in his hand.

"Wait a minute, how could I have a nosebleed by myself?"

Looking up, he saw David with his arms crossed, looking at him with a playful gaze that seemed to see right through him.

Under that gaze, Clark felt as uncomfortable as a thief caught in the act, and inexplicably looked away, his eyes filled with guilt.

Why did you suddenly say that?

Did David discover the strange new thing about him?

……

"You mean you've developed a new ability, the ability to see through people and things?"

Martha looked uneasy as she watched Clark sitting on the sofa at home.

Jonathan gently patted his wife's back to reassure her and listened quietly beside her.

David leaned against the dining table with his arms crossed, a slight smile on his lips. Clark didn't dare to look up and meet his gaze.

[Clark's guilty conscience +11, shame +12...]

"Sometimes it can see through things, like an X-ray."

Sitting on the sofa, Clark lowered his head and pretended to be depressed, his mouth sounding muffled as if he had a towel in it.

"Uncontrollable?"

Sensing his wife's worry, Jonathan frowned.

Unlike before, Clark's new abilities have been appearing far too frequently lately.

A floating object appeared just two days ago, though it hasn't reappeared since.

The series of changes seemed to suddenly shatter the silence, causing an instinctive unease in people's hearts.

"I don't know how to control it."

Clark looked up and glanced at David.

"really?"

David sneered.

"Before PE class, you kept staring at the wall and seeing through things, but you didn't see your new ability fail."

He said meaningfully, "Some things just depend on whether you want to or not."

The future Superman awakens super vision and immediately uses it to spy on the women's changing room. He's truly a god of noble character, yet he still has the nerve to try to lecture him.
