American Comics: From Map Editor to Immortal Gods

Sam wanted to open the door, but he was too afraid to touch it.

This car seems to be sentient; it can drive itself, open and close its doors automatically, and even go up to 200 km/h, and that's right in the city!

God knows how he survived.

Luo Lin patted the car door. "Alright, I'm here. The glasses are with me. You can leave the decorations and go. He's of no help to you at all."

Sam was taken aback. Who was Rowling talking to?

Could it be... a ghost?!

Damn it, I should have thought of that sooner!

But then Sam realized, "You bought my grandfather's glasses?!"

Luo Lin nodded. "It took five days to arrive. I suggest you don't list your items on eBay next time. I hate its logistics."

Sam was quite embarrassed.

The main reason he chose the cheapest logistics company was to save money.

Bumblebee remained silent, but opened the car door on his own initiative.

"Bumblebee, do I have to call you by your name before you'll talk?"

Rowling frowned, quite impatiently. "While you're wasting time, the Decepticons are gathering here. Are you sure you want to waste more time building up your relationship?"

"you know me?"

Bumblebee, who had been silently pretending to be dead, opened the driver's side door and kicked Sam out.

Sam scrambled and hid behind Rowling, looking as if he had been saved.

However, the next second,

"Damn it! It's an alien!"

Sam watched in a panic as Bumblebee transformed from a beat-up Chevrolet into a yellow Autobot about 5 meters tall!

Seeing that "ferocious" body and imposing height, Sam was so frightened that he turned and ran away.

"Run! Aliens have invaded Earth!"

Sam had barely taken two steps when Bumblebee grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

"Calm down, Archibald Witwicky descendant, I am not your enemy."

Sam was like a turtle caught in its shell, constantly swinging his limbs in the air.

Bumblebee was speechless. When he looked at Rowling, he found that the other man had his arms crossed and was looking at his steel body as if he were admiring a work of art.

His calm, joyful, and satisfied demeanor contrasted sharply with Sam's shouting and yelling.

However, his gaze was strange, making Bumblebee feel like he was being seen through.

This left it completely bewildered.

Sam's emotions were too unstable, while Rowling was too calm, so calm that it was somewhat frightening.

Sam looked at the menacing gun barrel on Bumblebee's thick arm, and his courage was extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly falling silent.

"Good, that's it. Be brave like your great-great-grandfather, and don't lose points, buddy!"

Bumblebee put Sam down and looked at Rowling, who had been watching the show the whole time.

"Human, I am Bumblebee."

"I am an intelligent mechanical life form from Cybertron. You can call me an Autobot."

"Autobots?"

The speaker was Sam, an ordinary high school student who had no idea what these words meant.

"Then how come you can speak Earth's language?"

Sam was very curious about this.

"We learned Earth languages ​​from the World Wide Web, which is easy for us, just like you humans...who?"

Bumblebee suddenly looked towards the second floor of another building.

Emma stared wide-eyed at Rowling and Bumblebee, who were downwind.

The menacing cannon barrel, the cold steel frame, and the tall, powerful body all deeply impressed the young girl.

She stared blankly at the scene, as if she had discovered a new world.

"Don't worry about her, she won't tell anyone."

Rowling already knew Emma was spying, but he didn't stop her.

Upon hearing this, Bumblebee stopped paying attention to Emma.

Emma was initially worried that Bumblebee would shoot at her, but to her surprise, the others didn't seem to care about her, which made her feel even more burdened.

He actually sneaked out of the house in the dark to eavesdrop in a closer place.

“Rolling, where are Sam’s glasses? We desperately need them. Just as you said, the Decepticons are on their way, and they’re after the glasses too. You’re in danger right now.”

"If the Decepticons get their hands on the glasses, your world will face war, and may even be destroyed."

As Bumblebee was speaking, Rowling interrupted him, "I know what you want to say. Now you can call the others over. I need to talk to your leader, Optimus Prime."

Bumblebee was even more confused. Wait, how do you know about Optimus Prime?

"How much do you actually know?"

"They know what they should know, and they also know what they shouldn't know, such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, the Fallen, and the AllSpark..."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Bumblebee looked at Rowling strangely, "If the detection system hadn't indicated that you weren't a robot, I would have suspected that you were a humanoid spy robot sent by the Decepticons."

Sam looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Why does Rowling know everything?

He is clearly the main character in this incident.

As it turned out, he was the only one who was completely bewildered.

Emma, ​​who was hiding nearby, had a gleam in her eyes when she heard the words "war" and "destruction".

That looks exciting!

Sam felt increasingly uneasy. Looking at Rowling's face, he thought of something impossible yet possible.

He exclaimed in surprise, "No way, are you the New York Thor?"

Rowling glanced at Sam briefly before continuing to look at Bumblebee.

Bumblebee was slightly startled. He was one of the first Autobots to arrive on Earth and knew some things about the planet.

Is Rolin a human deity? No wonder he knows so much about Cybertron.

"May I ask you, what do you want to do?"

Luo Lin bluntly stated, "Actually, I am a collector, and I love collecting all kinds of rare and precious treasures."

"The AllSpark is also my target. Since you don't want it to fall into the Decepticons' hands, how about entrusting it to me for safekeeping?"

"Don't worry, it's in my hands, the Decepticons can't take it away."

Robots die too, and you can't take things from the dead.

If it weren't for the worry that the AllSpark wouldn't be at Hoover Dam due to the global integration, Rowling would have wanted to go and get it by himself.

"I cannot make this decision; I need to ask the chief."

Bumblebee was surprised by Rowling's audacity and hesitated, saying, "You'd better think this through. The Decepticons aren't just some random dog on the street; they're military robots with technology far surpassing that of Earth."

"I understand, which is why I need the Spark even more!"

Rolin was eager to see what attribute bonuses the Spark Source would bring him.

Logically speaking, the AllSpark is a treasure of Cybertron, and should be considered a divine artifact on par with the Casket of Ice, right?

Seeing this, Bumblebee said nothing more and sent some kind of encrypted signal into the sky, calling for the Autobots to assemble.

After a while, Bumblebee nodded, immediately transformed back into a Chevrolet, and proactively opened the car door.

"Please come in."

Without any hesitation, Luo Lin got into the car.

Sam hesitated at this point.

"Sam, get in the car, we're leaving soon," Bumblebee flashed its headlights to warn.

Luo Lin shook his head to stop him, saying, "He doesn't need to come. What's going to happen next is not suitable for the pendant to get involved in."

"Unless... he's already prepared to die!"

Upon hearing this, Sam's initial resentment vanished the moment the word "death" was uttered.

Such a terrifyingly large creature is bound to die!

Sam envied Rowling; she was just like the protagonist in a movie—calm, strong, and exceptionally reliable.

Upon hearing this, Bumblebee was about to close the car door.

Emma ran out quickly.

"Can I get on the bus too?"

"you?!"

Bumblebee almost laughed. Are human kids these days so overconfident?

Sam was also embarrassed; if he couldn't go, why should the younger Emma go?

"Little girl, this could kill you. You'd better stay home and behave yourself."

Emma showed no fear on her face and said crisply, "Are dead people scary? They're just blood and flesh. If you're worried about my life, please rest assured, I'm prepared to die."

"..."

Sam was starting to lose his composure.

Do you understand death?

Do you know how impactful it is to see someone die in front of you?

Go back to your father!

Rowling glanced at Emma and casually said, "Emma, ​​go home and be a good girl. Your dad is waiting for you at home."

Emma frowned and said, "Is it because of my father that I can't go?"

Seeing Emma's serious expression, Rowling's heart skipped a beat.

You're not thinking about how to legitimately get David offline, are you?

"No, it's simply because you're too weak, it has nothing to do with David."

Rowling quickly changed Emma's mind; he had no doubt that Emma's knife was fast enough.

A fearless and ruthless character like Emma would probably have to kneel down and teach even the Joker Pennywise a lesson!

Neither Sam nor Bumblebee understood why Rowling seemed to value Emma more than Sam.

Isn't it just a mere ten-year-old human child?

Sam was indignant. He admitted that he was scared. Did Emma have more courage and boldness than him?

What a joke!

Chapter 45 The Morbid Emma, ​​Michaela's First Night

finally,

Emma's wish was not fulfilled in the end; with a wave of her hand, Rowling sent her back to her room on the second floor.

However, Emma was not discouraged; she glared at Rowling with a huff.

"I absolutely must have you!"

Once Pandora's box is opened, it can never be closed again.
