American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 205 Speedrun

After seeing Naomi off, Xiao Xian opened the window, and a wisp of mist drifted in from outside, transforming into Erica who knelt before him.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly come to see me?" Xiao Xian asked. Although Erica was now only a soul, she still craved Xiao Xian's body. Xiao Xian's order to her was not to come to see him unless there was something important, in order to prevent Erica from using the excuse of reporting to come to see him.

Furthermore, Xiao Xian didn't really listen to Erica's prayers, because they were mostly just things like, "Lord Xiao Xian, you're so handsome!", "Lord Xiao Xian! I love you!", "Lord Xiao Xian! I'm your dog!" In short, it was all utterly meaningless and bizarre.

"Nick and Jenny had a big fight," Erica said. "After the fight, Nick secretly took Jenny's research data on Amanette and planned to go to Egypt. He's currently waiting at the airport. Should we stop him?"

"Just let him go. But did the two of them have a fight? What did they fight about?" Xiao Xian asked, puzzled. There was a scene in the movie where Nick stole something and left without saying goodbye, but there didn't seem to be a fight in that scene, at least not before Nick stole the thing.

"For..." Erica looked up at Xiao Xian and said, "For you, Jenny refused to have anything to do with Nick anymore, admitting that it would take you time to forget him, and Jenny keeps calling your name in her dreams, it seems to be that kind of dream again. In short, Nick is very unhappy about this, so..."

"I barely exchanged three words with her in total, is it really that big of a deal?" Xiao Xian sighed and rubbed his forehead helplessly. Super charm really is a double-edged sword. But couldn't Jenny have a stronger will? She's the female lead and second female lead in the movie, and the female lead seems to be the villain, Amanet. They both have quite a lot of screen time.

In short, how could a main character be so easily swayed after just a few words? Bernadette at least initially advised against direct, real combat, suggesting Xiao Xian take an unconventional path, before completely succumbing and willingly inviting him into her trap.

However, Xiao Xian also understood that if Jenny weren't the second female lead in the movie, let alone admitting to Nick that she needed time to forget him, it would be quite a feat for her not to break up with Nick on the spot and then pursue him relentlessly in front of him.

Furthermore, in the movie, Nick and Jenny never officially confirmed their relationship until the very end. In fact, Nick chose to leave to protect Jenny. Therefore, Nick and Jenny's love was far from being destined. Rather, it was destined that they would eventually part ways.

"When is Jenny planning to go to Egypt?" Xiao Xian asked Erica as he put on his clothes.

"Next Monday," Erica replied.

"It seems I need to speed up my efforts to gather the power of evil." Xiao Xian left a mark on Erica's soul, then said solemnly.

"You continue to monitor Jenny. In case of emergency, you are allowed to contact me through prayer. But if I find out that you are contacting me for something as trivial as just to see me or chat with me, then this position is no longer available to you."

"I understand!" Erica saw Xiao Xian's serious expression and realized that he was not joking, so she quickly replied.

"Alright, go ahead."

Xiao Xian waved his hand and said that Jordan had completely fallen. Although the speed at which he generated the power of corruption was not slow, there was not much room for corruption left. There would be no more situations where a large amount of corruption power would be generated due to the corruption of his soul.

Moreover, Jordan has signed a soul contract, which allows him to be transformed into the origin of the world in crucial moments.

The upcoming plot might involve fighting against gods, or in the worst-case scenario, fighting against multiple gods interfering with Set's resurrection. In the best-case scenario, it might involve going toe-to-toe with the mythical creature Anmanet and her mummy army. Xiao Xian felt it was necessary to expand his reserves of world origin.

Fortunately, Xiao Xian has been in this world for some time and has already locked in many plot characters. As long as he gets them to sign a contract and absorbs their corrupt power, Xiao Xian can temporarily gain the power to contend with the gods by sacrificing their souls at crucial moments.

Of course, it would be a waste to sacrifice such a high-value soul, and sacrificing so many characters with destiny would definitely land them on the blacklist of this world. So Xiao Xian would definitely not do it unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, when it came time to make a choice, Xiao Xian would not hesitate. The resurrection ability that could be used in different worlds was simply too powerful. Even at the risk of being blacklisted, Xiao Xian was determined to complete this mission.

However, not everyone in the story deserves to die, so Xiao Xian will only choose those who are guilty to be sacrificed. As for the rest, they will be blacklisted anyway and will definitely be taken back to the dimensional space.

The first light of dawn streamed through the cracks in the window into the solemn and quiet room, the trembling light reflecting on Nuolan's face. Nuolan felt a strange unease as she thought about her boyfriend Zeng Xiaoxian's recent unusual behavior. She had felt the same way when her ex-husband cheated on her.

Just as Nuolan was feeling anxious in her room, the air suddenly distorted slightly, and a portal opened in front of her, revealing the handsome and dashing Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian was tall and slender with a handsome face. His deep eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, radiating an irresistible attraction.

"Sign a contract with me, then work for me from now on, and help me get Zeng Xiaoxian to sign contracts with other people as well."

"Your boyfriend Zeng Xiaoxian cheated on you."

As Xiao Xian spoke, he slapped a stack of ambiguous photos of Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei onto the table, then quietly took out a delicate parchment scroll from his sleeve. The scroll was covered with densely written words and symbols.

"So sign with confidence and don't feel guilty."

Attracted by Xiao Xian's powerful charm and relieved of the psychological pressure of being cheated on, Nuolan accepted the parchment scroll without hesitation and signed her name.

"Very good." Xiao Xian retracted the contract, then said to Nuolan, "You're Zeng Xiaoxian's girlfriend, what do you think is the best way to get Zeng Xiaoxian to sign the contract?"

"Hmm, Zeng Xiaoxian is a coward. I think if you beat him up, he'll obediently sign anything." Nuolan thought for a moment and said. Zeng Xiaoxian is not a tough nut to crack, but Hu Yifei is not easy to deal with.

But with Xiao Xian being so handsome, Nuolan felt that Hu Yifei wouldn't be a problem.

"That would work, but... it wouldn't gather much corrupting power this way."

Xiao Xian stroked his chin and handed a magic book to Nuolan.

"This is a magic book that records my magic. It can collect the power of the color field, amplify people's desires, and even cause people to develop strange fetishes. I'll send you back to your country. You need to find a way to deal with Zeng Xiaoxian, and then invite them to your house at eight o'clock tonight. I'll come to find you then. I've been quite busy lately, rushing around to many events. While I'm away, please give them some extra guidance and help them collect the power of corruption."

After saying that, Xiao Xian opened the portal and left, stepping into Bill's assassin organization. He slapped Bill so hard that he knelt on the ground, his head buzzing.

"Sign this, or I'll feed the pigs medicine and then throw you into the pigpen." With time running out and dealing with a villain, Xiao Xian wasn't going to be so polite. He stomped his right foot on Bill's head, threw the contract down, and said to Bill.

"You're asking for it!" Bill roared in utter humiliation, glancing at the female assassins around him and signaling them to attack, but all he received in return was silence.

"Take him to the pigsty, and remember to wake him up before throwing him in." Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian stomped on Bill until he was unconscious, then said to the female assassin codenamed California Snake, "Also, has Black Mamba Snake woken up yet?"

"Okay, okay." El stared at the handsome Xiao Xian, completely mesmerized, and replied, "Really? Never heard of him."
