Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Searchlights streaked across the night sky.

In the past, it seemed as if a huge black creature had spread its wings in the night sky.

He flew across the night sky, dropping black spheres downwards with a series of soft plops, like eggs being laid.

The sphere plummeted to the ground, striking precisely the monsters that were inexplicably running wildly.

boom!

A series of violent explosions followed, covering the entire block and illuminating it like fireworks.

Excellent, this owl-man is incredibly destructive! Lin Yi likes it!

I wonder if such a destructive owl-man can communicate normally.

"Go!" The old man acted decisively, grabbing his cane and nimbly tucking it between his legs before leaping into the air.

It seems they can't wait to meet the owl-men.

Lin Yi numbly followed the old man as he drifted into the night sky.

The dark shadow streaking across the night sky continued to bombard the monsters, and it soon spotted the old man and Lin Yi approaching rapidly.

The bombing operation was immediately halted.

Upon closer inspection, the Owlman was unusually large, his entire body shrouded in a black combat suit that accentuated his muscular physique, making him resemble an enlarged version of a certain bat.

The difference is that he didn't have a mask, but a huge hood that covered his entire head.

"Owlman! We need your help!"

The old man flew to within a few dozen meters of the owl-man and dared not approach any closer, shouting loudly from afar.

Lin Yi remained silent, watching from behind.

The owl-man tilted his head, which was hidden under his hood, as if he were sizing up the two of them.

"Owlman, we're looking for another child, and we need your help!"

Seeing that the owl-man did not respond, the old man repeated himself.

This time, however, children have been added. If the description is correct, the righteous owl-man should not refuse the request for help from human beings.

Lin Yi also noticed that the old man seemed to trust the contents of the panel.

He also noticed what the old man had said earlier.

This panel may sometimes display the information or items you need or desire most, and provide guidance.

This might also be a clue that allows Lin Yi to know how he arrived, and whether it was because he regained his memories or for some other reason.

The owl-man was silent for a moment before giving his reply.

"Coo...coo coo coo!"

……

Lin Yi closed his eyes and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

Dude, there's really no need for that...

This is way too respectful of titles!

"Really? You're willing to help us?" The old man asked with a look of delight.

Lin Yi was completely bewildered.

Did the old man understand those two sentences?

"Coo coo, coo coo coo!"

"What kind? Oh, I have a picture here, you can take a look." The old man swiped the panel again, and after pressing something, he brought up a picture.

Did you understand again?

Lin Yi was really about to lose his temper and wanted to grab the old man and ask him how the hell he understood that?

And this owl-man... damn it, Lin Yi couldn't help but clench his fists.

Seeing the old man take out the picture, the owl-man quickly flew over.

As if wanting to see more clearly, he reached out, lifted his hood, and revealed his true face.

Lin Yi's clenched hands fell limply to his sides.

The Owlman is literally an owl...man.

Beneath the hood, there was a large head, a thick, hooked beak, and the entire head was covered in feathers.

Lin Yi felt relieved; he understood why the owl-man was hooting.

This is a humanoid owl!

He looked at the old man beside him with a complicated expression.

So how exactly did the old man understand?

"You've never seen this before either? Do you have any suggestions?" The old man was still talking to the owl-man.

"Coo coo, coo, coo coo coo."

"You're willing to help? That's wonderful!"

"We don't have much time left. If we don't find her in two and a half days, she will be lost here forever."

"Coo coo!"

"Oh! I understand!"

"Coo coo coo!"

"Okay, okay, we'll prepare the payment!"

Lin Yi was getting tired of listening.

Reward? Well, a righteous owl needs a reward, no problem.

Seemingly having finished their conversation, the owl-man cooed and flew away.

Before flying away, it glanced at Lin Yi one last time.

I thought the owl-man had gone to help find someone, but after flying a short distance, he started blowing up monsters again...

"Let's go, let's stay in that little shabby house for the night." The old man's demeanor was visibly more relaxed than when he arrived.

Lin Yi couldn't contain his endless stream of questions.

"What exactly did you two talk about? How did you understand his 'cooing'?"

Stop spouting that nonsense about automatic language communication in Time City. This is another world, and Lin Yi didn't understand it either!

"You mean this?" The old man explained to Lin Yi as he flew toward the dilapidated little house they had just seen.

"Young man, you should listen carefully. As I said before, the watch face will guide you. I want to find that little girl, and I want to communicate with the owl-man, so the watch face will help me."

Lin Yi felt that this had nothing to do with whether or not she listened to the lecture.

If the dial is so useful, then why do they still want to leave Time City?

"The owl-man has agreed to help us search, but we'll have to wait until he finishes tonight's task," the old man continued, gesturing downwards with his chin.

"He's going to blow up three city blocks of monsters tonight. Then he and his crew will search for the little girl."

"Don't worry, his companions are real owls, numerous in number, and scattered throughout the city. I believe we should have results soon."

"We've arranged a time; he'll come to find me tomorrow morning. He'll be in this little shabby house, so we'll be staying until noon tomorrow!"

The owl-man made a few coos, probably fewer than the old man's single sentence. How were these meanings expressed?

Forget it, let's not dwell on this.

Since the owl-men are willing to help, it saves Lin Yi some trouble.

Back in the dilapidated house, the old man dismantled a few wooden planks to use as a bed and lay down to rest.

Lin Yi didn't sleep. He pulled out a single sofa from his alternate dimension, sat down in front of the door, and leaned back to watch the owl-like figures bombing the streets in the night sky.

He was thinking about a question he had just asked.

The old man has said it more than once: this dial will help you get what you need or desire.

So, can I amplify my desire to leave and search for my memories, so that the panel can help me?

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then swiped to bring up the panel.

Not knowing the exact flow rate of time, he must find a way back as soon as possible.

The panel still showed the same few simple lines of information, with all of Lin Yi's character information marked with question marks, leaving the situation unclear.
