American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 31 Rebirth

Without rushing to choose the flesh and blood to be reborn, Xiao Xian discovered that, in a sense, every piece of his own flesh and blood in this space was his own surveillance.

Xiao Xian could see all the flesh and blood that had been separated from his body, even the piece of flesh that he had initially thrown into the drifting bottle.

At this moment, the piece of flesh lay in the drifting bottle, drifting with the current. The scenery was quite nice, with a blue sea and sky, but Xiao Xian had no idea where it had drifted to.

In addition, there were some cells and tissues that Xiao Xian himself hadn't even noticed, such as hair cut off at the barbershop. In short, seeing so many light screens, Xiao Xian felt that it would indeed be quite difficult for physical methods to kill him.

Of all these light screens, the largest one was naturally Xiao Xian's body, which he had been moving around, but the surrounding area was pitch black.

Through Peter's mouth, Xiao Xian could tell that Peter Parker was putting Xiao Xian's body in a large bag and stuffing it into the trunk of Peter's Chevrolet. He didn't know if Peter intended to dump the body at sea or bury it somewhere.

"They can't be planning to pour cement, can they? I haven't even unlocked Tomie's cell recombination ability yet."

Watching Peter struggle to squeeze himself into the trunk, Xiao Xian thought that choosing to regenerate his original body now would most likely result in being killed by Peter again. He could either wait for Peter to relax and take the opportunity to escape, or he could choose to regenerate another piece of flesh.

"Forget it, let's choose another piece. We can use that one as evidence of Peter's intentional homicide." Looking at the numerous light screens, Xiao Xian began to consider which piece of flesh regeneration would be more suitable.

First, of course, is to exclude family members. Tomie is still at home at this time. Xiao Xian doesn't know how Tomie will react when she sees her similar being reborn. However, Xiao Xian knows the reaction between Tomie in the manga, which is that they will kill each other.

Furthermore, excluding those from other people's bodies, Xiao Xian was unsure of the consequences of growing directly inside someone else's body. Of course, this did not refer to the consequences for others, but rather to the consequences for Xiao Xian himself.

Xiao Xian's concern is that he might be influenced by others, such as absorbing their cells, DNA, or even memories. In the manga, after Tomie was reborn by someone else, her personality seemed to be influenced by her original body, and she did not harm the person her original body deeply loved.

For example, if Xiao Xian is reborn with Peter's help right now, and it succeeds, will Xiao Xian be influenced by Peter and fall deeply in love with Tomie? That's no joke. Don't be fooled by Tomie's current obedience to Xiao Xian and her seemingly virtuous nature. She'll even help pour his foot bath water and stay away from Peter obediently. But that's all an act.

Once Xiao Xianzhen falls in love with Tomie, he has a good idea of ​​what Tomie will become after her true nature is revealed. Even disregarding her terrible attitude, the green on her head is more extensive than the Hulunbuir Grassland.

Looking at the array of light screens, Xiao Xian couldn't find a particularly suitable one, so he simply chose a piece of flesh and blood that he had prepared in advance from the New York regeneration site.

The regeneration points were resurrection points that Xiao Xian set up for himself after getting a large sum of money from Fu Jiang. They not only contained the nutrients needed for regeneration, but also essential items such as clothes, mobile phones, and computers that had been prepared in advance. Some regeneration points were even equipped with guns.

Xiao Xian even spent money to have a recycling point built for him elsewhere. It was basically just renting a house, putting some glucose biscuits, mobile phones, computers, and so on, and finally sending someone to put a package containing his own flesh and blood inside.

Previously, Xiao Xian had received intelligence that regeneration sites had already been built in Midtown and Gotham.

As it turned out, Xiao Xian looked around and found that the one in Midtown was alright, but the one in Gotham had been completely robbed. The cell phone, computer, cookies, and glucose were all taken. Even the package containing Xiao Xian's flesh and blood had been opened and found to be a blood-stained bandage, which was then thrown on the ground.

As expected of Gotham, a city known for its honest and simple people, Xiao Xian even specifically chose to rent a house in a neighborhood with good security.

In an unassuming little house in Queens, New York, a blood-soaked bandage suddenly began to writhe. The blood on it multiplied rapidly at a visible speed, from soaking a part of the bandage to the entire bandage bleeding, and then a large amount of flesh and blood appeared on the bandage.

The flesh that appeared on the bandage quickly grew into tendrils like plant roots, reaching into the glucose syrup that had been prepared all around. Then, a human head grew out from the middle of the roots.

Opening his eyes, the man looked at the surrounding scenery and blurted out...

"Holy crap! What the hell is that?!"

"You scared me! I almost forgot this was myself."

Perhaps because Peter's hatred had dissipated considerably after killing Xiao Xian, Xiao Xian felt that his regeneration speed was not as fast as when he was in Osborn. If it weren't for the nutrient solution, it would be questionable whether he could even grow this head at this point.

Then Xiao Xian's hands, feet, and torso began to appear, but they were all miniature versions. Nourished by the nutrient solution and hatred, his body began to grow rapidly. To say rapidly was relative to the growth rate of a normal person. Xiao Xian estimated that it would take at least half an hour to an hour for him to finish growing.

Using his consciousness to control his regenerative abilities, Xiao Xian first grew one of his hands to the size of an eight-year-old child's arm. Then, he picked up the phone that had been prepared beforehand and was connected to a charging cable.

First, call the police and say that you saw Peter Parker, who is actually Spider-Man, commit murder and hide the body. Give the license plate number and explain that the victim was a multi-millionaire and a newly signed superhero by Osborn. Then, you will call the reporter.

Then Xiao Xian repeated the same thing to the reporter: the bigger the commotion, the better. The police will naturally do their best to catch Spider-Man under pressure from public opinion. As for what to do if this identity is killed by Spider-Man on the surface?

Then he can regenerate back into his original body and say that he survived thanks to super regeneration. It's common for superheroes to be thought to be dead but actually survived, especially for someone like him with regenerative abilities. He can also promote himself and then call it a day.

Then Xiao Xian logged onto Weibo and went straight to the homepage of a top idol. He silently apologized in his heart, and then started to curse the idol with the Zuan style of insults, and exchanged insults with the fans who were provoked.

One account would be reported and banned, and then another would be created. Thanks to Xiao Xian's efforts, several fans with poor mentality were directly driven to the brink of collapse by the abuse, and Xiao Xian's regeneration speed also increased rapidly.

"I...I..." Enraged, a female fan gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face as she stared at Xiao Xian's message on the screen. She racked her brains for a string of insults to retaliate, but all she received in return was mockery.

"That's it? That's it? Your swearing skills are so bad they're almost as bad as your idol's acting. But don't be sad, it's not that you're not bad enough, it's that your idol is so bad it makes people feel physically uncomfortable."

Meanwhile, Peter, who was driving to the beach to dispose of the body, was humming a song while listening to the traffic news on the radio when suddenly an emergency news report was interrupted.

"Breaking news! Osborn's newly signed superhero, Xiao Xian, was reportedly killed this afternoon by the notorious supervillain Spider-Man, who has a history of burglary and assault. Spider-Man is still at large. In addition, according to reliable sources, Spider-Man's real identity is Peter Parker, who had a history of fighting and skipping classes during his school years. Although he had good grades, he was a typical problem student."

"According to reliable sources, the body of the victim, Xiao Xian, was hidden in the trunk of Spider-Man's car. The police have located Spider-Man's vehicle and are currently making an arrest. We will continue to bring you the latest news."

"WTF???!!!" Peter exclaimed, covering his head in shock. He was seen killing someone? Impossible! He had checked repeatedly; there was no one there and no surveillance.

Just then, Peter, who had heard the noise, turned around and saw several police cars with sirens blaring, chasing after him.
