Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 14 [Spirit]

After confirming that only he could see the bloody text and no one else could detect it at all, Su Ze became very concerned about the existence of this thing.

Although I don’t know where this power comes from, if I want to ensure my own safety in this world, I’m afraid I can only rely on the help of this strange power.

He did not go directly to the location of the ghost fire. That would be too purposeful. Even if the bald female guard next to him could not see the so-called ghost fire, she would definitely become suspicious.

So Su Ze tried his best to make his steps light and moved forward in a way as if he was taking a walk. Although he seemed like a headless fly, he was generally shortening the distance between himself and the ghost fire.

Seeing that the man in front of her not only did not answer her questions, but also walked around and looked around for no apparent reason, the female guard looked a little displeased.

But she didn't say anything explicitly, just followed him quietly.

It's like a piece of sticky candy that can't be thrown away.

On the other side, M'Baku also noticed the situation here.

In other words, when Suze entered this area, Mbaku, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, discovered this uninvited foreigner.

If M'Baku hadn't seen that the leader was the royal guard of Wakanda, he would probably have ordered people to take Suze down.

Unlike other Wakandans, M'Baku was the leader of a powerful tribe before he swore to serve Black Panther. Today, he is known as the second most powerful warrior in Wakanda, second only to Black Panther T'Challa.

However, in the comics this guy is actually an anti-hero. On the surface, he and Black Panther are friends, but privately he has always wanted to overthrow the rule of T'Challa, who is protected by the Panther God, and revive the Ape God Realm.

Looking at Su Ze who entered the battlefield led by the guards, Mbaku frowned slightly. After looking at several of his fellow tribesmen around him, he took a step and walked towards Su Ze.

At this time, Su Ze was pretending to collect some alien debris from the soil under his feet.

It was a black substance with a burning smell. It looked like the result of an explosion.

In the eyes of others, this should be the garbage that is least worth collecting, but Su Ze seems to be very interested in these things. He is digging in the grass, and then digging something in the pile of dirt with a dagger.

At first, the female guard was monitoring Su Ze seriously, but after a while, even she couldn't stand it anymore.

Now she really believed that Su Ze was a member of the action team, because anyone who had written a thesis would not collect samples in this way. It was hard to believe that SHIELD would send such a guy.

Just as the female guard was secretly despising Su Ze in her heart, Mbaku's burly body slowly approached.

He first glanced at Su Ze who was concentrating on "looking for something" not far away, and then asked the female guard curiously.

"Who is this person?"

"The agent sent by SHIELD said he didn't believe our intelligence and insisted on coming here to collect alien samples. The general was too lazy to care about him, so he asked me to bring him here for a look." The female guard replied indifferently.

"Sent by SHIELD?" M'Baku raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Su Ze who had his back facing him, and after being sure that he could beat twenty of them alone, he thought back to the agile woman who was charging to the front line of the battlefield.

There was a pause, and M'Baku looked strange.

"Are you sure, it's just him?"

"We have a special plane to pick us up, and we've also informed the general in advance, so there shouldn't be any accidents. Why, do you think there's something wrong with this guy?" The female guard smiled meaningfully.

"It's not that there's a problem. I'm just curious about how much damage SHIELD has suffered that they would send someone like this." M'Baku withdrew his gaze from Suze's thin arms and legs. He was no longer interested in this foreigner.

"But this is a good thing. It is better to send someone who poses no threat than to send someone who brings a lot of trouble. After all, we are allies with SHIELD now."

“It’s hard to say.”

The female guard had a complicated look on her face and shook her head slightly.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Su Ze digging for a while and then moving to another place. The female guard just glanced at him and didn't take his action too seriously.

Su Ze, who was not far from the two of them, had already arrived next to the will-o'-the-wisp.

He saw M'Baku coming towards him early in the morning, but he did not take the initiative to greet him, but just made himself look "busy".

Sure enough, the big fool did not come to him directly, but started chatting with the female guard next to him. The brief exchange between the two gave Su Ze the opportunity to approach the ghost fire.

Seeing that the ghost fire was condensed together but was not affected by the wind direction at all, and there was no sign of dissipating, Su Ze became more and more certain that this thing was related to the bloody text.

However, even though he was so close, the flame didn't change at all, which made Su Ze a little at a loss.

He raised his hand and stretched it towards the flame. Without any obstruction, Su Ze's hand went straight through, like a virtual image.

Looking at his palm which did not feel strange at all, Su Ze looked up at the flame which had not changed at all, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Could it be that I guessed wrongly, and this thing has nothing to do with the bloody text?"

Touching his chin, Su Ze shook his head slightly.

"Impossible. This thing is just like the bloody text. Only I can see it. It can't be a product of this world. Could it be that I activated it in the wrong way?"

After finally getting close to the will-o'-the-wisp without anyone suspecting him, Su Ze had the opportunity to improve his combat effectiveness, and he didn't want to give up so easily.

Just as Su Ze was frowning and thinking, he suddenly felt a slight burning sensation in his trouser pocket, as if something was heating up.

Su Ze knew without reaching out to touch him that the only thing in his pocket was the small notebook that he had traveled through time with.

During the day, he had counted everything on his body.

He gently took out the notebook that was getting hot in his pocket. Before Su Ze could take the next step, the flames on the opposite side suddenly reacted.

The ghost fire flashed as if attracted by something, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a stream of light, and flew into the pen in Su Ze's hand as quickly as a young swallow returning to its nest.

Then, an inexplicable force suddenly emerged from the pen.

Su Ze almost let go of the pen in his hand, and saw the notebook automatically turn to a new page, and then the pen automatically stuck to it, leading Su Ze's hand to start writing on the notebook.

When the pen tip touched the white paper, the words written were not ink color, but a fluorescent blue color. Moreover, those words were the same as the blood-colored words, and they were not fonts that existed in this world.

Soon, a line of words appeared in Su Ze's sight.
