Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1367 Deception
Alice Nakiri was extremely confused at the moment, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. The man's unfinished words were like a huge rock, weighing heavily on her heart.

But right now, the situation was urgent and she couldn't afford to think too much.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and quickly took out her cell phone to call the emergency number.

Fortunately, someone had called the police and emergency number beforehand, so the police cars, ambulances and fire trucks arrived very quickly.

The sirens and the roar of ambulances.

After a tense and busy rescue operation, the body of the truck monster was recovered by America and official personnel from the island country who rushed over.

However, to everyone's surprise, as soon as the official personnel touched the monster's corpse, the corpse turned into ashes in an instant as if it had been cast under a spell.

The ashes drifted away in the breeze, as if this horrible monster had never existed in the world.

Everyone looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.

Could it be that this monster is dead beyond death, and has only been relying on some mysterious power to maintain a terrifying appearance?

Alice Nakiri stood beside the bed with a serious expression, quietly looking at Kurokiba Ryo who was lying on the bed.

His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead, revealing the pain he had suffered previously.

The doctor just informed us that Kurokiba Ryo's injuries are extremely serious. Not only does he need immediate first aid, but he also needs a long period of rest before he can slowly recover.

Fortunately, after the doctors' intensive and orderly rescue, his condition has temporarily stabilized.

Alice Nakiri breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

After confirming that Kurokiba Ryo was not in immediate danger of life, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to daytime.

The words that the mysterious man said to her were like a fog, always lingering in her mind and could not be shaken off.

"What else is there that hasn't been said?"

Alice Nakiri thought about it over and over again in her heart. A strong intuition told her that the unspoken content was crucial and might very well change the direction of many things.

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the ward out of the corner of her eye.

Alice Nakiri turned her head suddenly, her heart beating violently, and her eyes widened, full of shock and vigilance.

The mysterious man from the daytime was now standing quietly in the corner of the ward, as if he was supposed to be there. He appeared quietly at some point without making a sound, like an illusory ghost.

"It's you!"

Alice Nakiri immediately recognized Luther in front of her, and there was a slight tremor in her voice, with both fear of the sudden appearance of a mysterious figure and a hint of curiosity caused by unresolved doubts.

Luther raised his head slightly, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took two steps forward slowly.

He took the initiative to come to Alice Nakiri this time with a clear and far-reaching plan in mind, which was to vigorously promote the development of supernatural powers. In his opinion, Alice Nakiri's identity was simply the right one. Alice's father, Soe Nakiri, as the legitimate heir of the Nakiri family and the founder of Nakiri International, was quite prestigious in the entire food industry, and even in the top chef training school such as Totsuki Academy, he also had a huge influence.

Luther secretly calculated in his heart that if he wanted to change Totsuki Academy from an academy focused on training chefs to a special academy that could slay demons and monsters according to his own unique bad taste, then the power of Nakiri Soe was absolutely indispensable.

As for why he didn't look for Erina Nakiri, who was currently in the limelight at Totsuki Academy, Luther had his own considerations in mind.

Not to mention that Erina Nakiri has a strong character and is extremely persistent in her beliefs, it is still unknown whether she will easily agree to his seemingly absurd proposal.

Luther is more optimistic about Alice Nakiri. In his eyes, Alice has a simple mind and has always been competitive with her cousin Erina Nakiri. With a little guidance, she can be easily used for his own purposes.

"This world is on the eve of a major change that has not happened in a thousand years."

Luther said.

"Have you noticed that some strange things have been happening recently? Some phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense and science are quietly emerging."

He paused slightly, as if giving Alice Nakiri time to think and recall.

"In fact, that's because there are more and more demons and monsters in this world."

Luther went on to say, "They have always existed in our world, but they were previously sealed and suppressed by a powerful force. However, now that the power of the seal is gradually weakening, these demons and monsters are beginning to stir, and are emerging from dark corners one after another."

When Alice Nakiri heard this, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. She subconsciously took a step back, "You...are you telling the truth? How is this possible..."

But deep in her heart, she felt that Luther's words were not groundless, and those bizarre rumors that she occasionally heard flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

Seeing this, Luther knew that his words had aroused Alice's interest and a little hesitation, so he continued: "Totsuki Academy, as an institution that trains many outstanding talents, will surely gain an advantage in this great change if it can follow this trend and transform into an academy that can teach the art of slaying demons. And you, Nakiri Alice, with your family's influence, can definitely promote this change. Just think about it, when you and your father successfully transform Totsuki Academy, you will become heroes who save the world and be admired by the world."

His words were full of persuasion, painting a grand and tempting picture.

Alice Nakiri's eyes began to flicker, and a fierce struggle was going on in her heart.

On the one hand, Luther's words sounded too absurd and bizarre, and very different from the world she had known before; but on the other hand, the temptation to become a hero and change the world was too hard for her to resist.

"Now that you have personally experienced something beyond your imagination, do you still intend to continue to be a Muggle who knows nothing about the truth of the world?"

Luther changed the subject and threw out a new concept, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Muggle? What does that mean?"

Alice Nakiri was full of doubts and asked subconsciously. This unfamiliar word was like a mystery that aroused her curiosity.

"The so-called Muggles refer to ordinary people living in the surface world. They are like blindfolded travelers, and know nothing about the truth hidden beneath the surface of this world. They live their lives step by step every day, unaware that a storm that can subvert the world is about to come."

Luther said.
