American comic book red Superman

boom! ! !

"Luo Wei, Jin Wenzhai is in trouble!"

There was a rapid knocking at the door, followed by Hua Xin's shouts.

[PS: I need to sort out my thoughts. I feel like the more I write, the more chaotic it gets. I originally planned to write original plot, but it's becoming increasingly strange. After all, American comics incorporate cultivation elements, which gives it a fantasy feel. Also, the original story's plot is being set up, so I have to write that too. This makes it very difficult to distinguish between the main and secondary plot points while I'm laying out the original story and creating my own.]

Chapter 137: Truth and Illusion, Contrary to Expectations

Lowe!

"Jin Wenzhai has been released?"

Luo Wei looked at Hua Xin standing outside the door and heard the news from her.

“We had no intention of letting him go; we only wanted to lure out the real culprit who caused the accident. But we didn’t expect that he would disappear into thin air so soon after leaving the Self-Strengthening Department.”

Hua Xin explained anxiously.

Luo Wei also figured out the reason for the incident. Since the investigation into Jin Wenzhai had not made any progress, the higher-ups of the Self-Strengthening Department planned to lure the snake out of its hole. After letting Jin Wenzhai go, they secretly sent people to follow him, hoping to find out the real culprit who caused the accident.

Unexpectedly, not long after Jin Wenzhai left the Self-Strengthening Department, he vanished into thin air on the wide main road on his way to the outskirts. The special task force that had been tracking him searched the entire road thoroughly but could not find any clues. It was as if Jin Wenzhai had disappeared into thin air.

“I have already sent Green Snake and his men to search the surrounding area. If it was man-made, Jin Wenzhai is probably still nearby; he couldn’t have gone far.”

Hua Xin quickly spoke up, saying that they were already searching for Jin Wenzhai.

"I'm going to see the scene."

Luo Wei always felt that the murals held a hidden meaning, but even Yama, the King of Hell, couldn't see the problem.

Only by finding the real culprit can we learn the purpose of the murals. In addition, Luo Wei is also worried that these things are related to some evil, just like Pandora, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. If so, the matter will be more troublesome than for anyone else.

What he hates most is dealing with magicians. Pandora used to appear in China one minute and then run off to America the next, which was enough to give him a headache.

"Jin Wenzhai disappeared in the southern suburbs."

Meanwhile, in the southern suburbs, the special task force of the Self-Strengthening Department was conducting a thorough search of the entire area, leaving no stone unturned, even a patch of trees or a pile of rocks unchecked. They were equipped with sophisticated detection instruments to scan and detect the surrounding area, and the equipment would detect any supernatural phenomena or strange magnetic fields immediately.

However, after a thorough search, they were unable to find any clues or even a single suspicious spot.

There were no signs of a struggle in the area near Jin Wenzhai, and even his vehicle did not leave any brake marks. He and his car simply vanished into thin air on the main road. The drivers of the vehicles in front and behind him said that they only felt a violent shaking in front of them, and Jin Wenzhai's car seemed to disappear from their sight as if it had become invisible.

"Could he have been teleported away?"

Zhang Fengshan, the white-masked man who was following the special task force in their search, frowned and voiced his doubts.

"You think they're space-age superhumans?"

Crocodile-Man Zhang Si scratched his head. "When I was in Sichuan and Chongqing, I heard that some people could teleport remotely, but the distance was not far, about tens of meters."

"No, if it were teleportation, we could detect residual dark matter in the space, but nothing was left at the scene."

The task force leader denied this idea. The Self-Reliant Department possessed extremely deep knowledge of superhumans; it had many superhumans within its ranks and dealt with them daily, thus understanding various types...

Other people with superpowers.

There are also corresponding devices used to investigate different types of superhumans. It is these devices that enable the Self-Improvement Task Force, composed of ordinary people, to find the weaknesses of superhumans, analyze them, and devise solutions to defeat superhuman targets.

Currently, a large portion of the captures in the superhuman prisons are carried out using this method, and the Self-Strengthening Department has scientific capture plans in this regard.

“If it weren’t for superhumans, things would be much more complicated. I would rather face superhumans than anything else.”

Zhang Fengshan, wearing a white mask, was somewhat worried.

The others understood what he meant. Compared to an unknown enemy, they preferred to face an enemy they knew, such as a superhuman. After all, the unknown itself was a source of fear, and human fear often stemmed from the unknown.

"But we had no choice."

The task force members shook their heads and continued walking deeper into the woods.

The other members also fell silent, becoming extremely alert and vigilant, their eyes scanning their surroundings without missing a single spot.

No matter what situation they faced, they had no choice, but this did not cause them any psychological burden.

Because in the very beginning, when facing the first batch of superhumans.

For the Self-Strengthening Corps, it was also an unknown enemy, but the difficulties were eventually resolved. They firmly believed that any unknown fear would eventually be unveiled.

rustling

Suddenly, a commotion came from a relatively dense grove of trees ahead of the group. Something seemed to be moving in the trees, and the leaves were rustling and making noise.

"There is a situation."

The captain raised his hand, signaling everyone to slow down. He raised his gun, aimed at the woods ahead, and slowly moved forward.

He looked at the white-masked man beside him and asked, "What did you sense?"

"Nothing."

Zhang Fengshan shook his head. Through his control of the wind, he could not sense any living beings ahead, only a force causing the forest to sway continuously.

"strangeness."

Zhang Si, the crocodile-man, frowned and gripped his specially made large gun tightly. "I think I smell someone else's scent."

The scent was fleeting, seemingly his imagination.

"you sure?"

Zhang Fengshan looked at the crocodile man and asked.

"No, the smell has disappeared again."

Zhang Si shook his head.

boom! ! !

However, at that moment, a burst of gunfire came from the distance behind the column. The rapid gunfire echoed throughout the area, and the shooter seemed to be provoked, continuously pulling the trigger.

"Oh no, it's a green snake!"

"Her communication device is down, I'll go check on it."

Zhang Fengshan, wearing a white mask, changed his expression and pressed the communicator, but the Green Snake did not respond. He then lifted himself up and flew towards the direction of the gunshot.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing this, Zhang Si quickly followed, and at the same time, he turned back and shouted to the special task force, "You guys stay here, we'll go check out the situation over there!"

"All on alert."

Seeing this, the captain had no choice but to order his team members to remain on guard.

At this moment, the surrounding woods returned to calm, as if the previous commotion had never happened. The wind was calm and there was no sound at all.

The atmosphere was somewhat eerie, deathly quiet.

"Green Snake?"

Zhang Fengshan followed the sound of gunfire and arrived at an open area.

They quickly noticed the guns and some backpacks lying on the ground.

"Where are they?"

Crocodile Man Zhang Si strode over, panting heavily, and found no one around, only a few spent shell casings scattered on the ground, still emitting wisps of heat in the air.

"They seem to have disappeared too."

Zhang Fengshan picked up the backpack from the ground and glanced at the footprints. "Look, the footprints on the ground only show where people came from; no one left."

"You mean, like Jin Wenzhai, they vanished into thin air?"

Zhang Si also noticed this. There was a series of footprints on the left, which was obviously the path that Qing She and the others had taken, but it ended here.

There were no other footprints, nor any footprints indicating that Green Snake and the others had left.

The only possibility now is that Green Snake and his group have also vanished into thin air!

They most likely encountered the same thing as Jin Wenzhai.

"This is something that superhumans can't do. Anyway, I've never seen a superhuman take away a group of living people out of thin air."

Zhang Fengshan carefully examined the footprints on the ground and said, "Their only resistance was firing those few shots."

As he thought about it, a chill ran down his spine.

The enemy they were facing this time was more powerful than they had imagined, and it had never shown its face from beginning to end; no one had ever seen the true face of the mastermind behind it all.

rustling sounds!!

Suddenly, there was movement in the woods on the right. It seemed that a figure was rushing towards them from a distance, accompanied by a strong wind.

"Who?"

Zhang Fengshan and Zhang Si felt a chill run down their spines and looked over there warily, while their hands reached for the weapons at their waists.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

The next second, a familiar figure in a red cloak appeared instantly. It was Luo Wei who had rushed over. His appearance relieved the two of them.

"Superman, Xiaoqing might be in trouble."

Zhang Fengshan relaxed somewhat when he saw Luo Wei arrive.

“I have heard what you have to say.”

When Luo Wei arrived, he had already been paying attention to this place and had heard everything the two had said.

"I'm wondering if they might be sorcerers? Although there has been a break in this area in China, there are still many people in the common people who study from incomplete ancient books."

Zhang Si, the crocodile man standing next to him, said that when he followed the imposter Master Pei, he didn't learn much about metaphysics, but he did hear many folk tales.

Most of them are related to sorcerers. Legend has it that in ancient China, sorcerers, like magicians in Europe and America today, had many churches and associations and established many sects. Their power was no less than that of magicians. However, a gap appeared later, and they gradually disappeared from people's sight. Until today, sorcerers have become charlatans in people's mouths.

"It should be quite easy for a warlock to move a large number of living people away. It just sounds too illogical."

As a staunch materialist who had been influenced by modern civilization, Zhang Fengshan inevitably found it difficult to accept the idea of ​​sorcerers.

But now it seems too mystical.

He looked at the silent Lowe and asked, "What do you think, Superman?"
