American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 265 Investigation

Smallville town.

"Mr. Gino, I did not mean to interrupt your conversation with Mr. Lex."

A virtual image of the singer popped up on the phone; a humanoid figure made of blue particles flickered and stared blankly at the boy.

"What's wrong, singer?"

Gino hung up the phone with Lex, who had just called to say he had discovered a peculiar crystal.

Gino's attitude toward this is one of cautious observation.

"According to the latest news from Mr. Bart inside the Justice League Hall."

"Ms. Diana, who was supposed to be on duty at the Justice League Hall on Monday, did not show up."

Because of the Justice League's unique nature, the members usually take turns guarding the Justice League headquarters.

Batman is never late.

Clark will play video games with Bart.

As for Diana

As Amazons who value force and order.

Even if Batman is late, she won't be late.

"I have a feeling."

The boy hung up the phone and looked up at Clark, who was eating a steak with gusto on the other side of the table: "Things aren't looking good."

Hearing Gino's words, Clark's hand holding the fork trembled slightly. He reluctantly swallowed the steak in his mouth and rolled his eyes at Gino: "Honestly, you should have waited until I finished eating before you said that."

Clark sighed and said, "Look, now that I know the news, even the steak in my mouth doesn't taste good anymore."

Well, after spending so much time with Gino, Clark's tastes have improved quite a bit.

I know what you mean.

Gino sighed: "But that's just how our universe is."

"We are constantly facing major events because stories are the key to the survival of this universe."

"Without stories, it will perish."

Gino stood up and patted Clark on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go check on Diana."

"OK."

The young man grabbed the remaining steak on the table, disregarding any pretense of English gentlemanly conduct, and devoured the steak in no time.

Clark followed Gino into the spatial passage opened by the singer.

After entering a scene that resembled a dreamlike, shimmering landscape, accompanied by flashes of light, Gino and Clark stepped out of the space tunnel and found themselves standing in a clean and tidy room.

From the arrangement of tables, chairs, and benches to the placement of cutlery, one can easily deduce the homeowner's desire for order.

"I didn't expect Diana's room to be so tidy."

Clark walked over to the bench, his eyes catching sight of the photo album on the table.

Inside the black and white photo album, Gino and the woman are all smiles.

"etc?"

Clark stopped in his tracks, staring at the photos on the table in shock.

He glanced at Gino, then at the young man in the photo, and tilted his head: "Your grandfather met Diana?"

That's me.

Gino ignored Clark and opened his arms to connect with the magic of Heaven.

Golden magic covered the entire room like a silken spider web.

The surge of magical energy rewinds back to everything that happened before.

"Snapped!"

But it's like a broken thread, or a kite that's snapped.

The past should have appeared in the present, but there is nothing there.

"What happened?"

Clark stared wide-eyed as the magic threads in Gino's hand exploded into fragments and vanished into thin air.

He had never seen Gino fail.

The boy's face was grave. He glanced at Clark and said:

"A powerful energy blocked and erased what happened here."

"The fact that the opponent can erase my power proves that their strength is not weak."

As the two were discussing the clues at the scene, Clark's cell phone rang.

The young man took out his phone and answered the call.

"Hmm? I'm Clark."

"you say."

"What?! Lana has disappeared?"

Clark stared blankly at Gino, holding his phone in a daze.

After hanging up the phone, an indelible sorrow appeared on his thick eyebrows and large eyes.

"Gino, it's Lana's boyfriend on the phone. He says Lana is missing."

Do you know the address?

Gino sighed, and the familiar feeling returned to his heart, like an invisible net sweeping over him like a conspiracy.

Clark nodded and said:

"I know, it's in Lane 16, East Street."

Lane 16, East Street, is not far from Diana's apartment.

"Let's go take a look."

Gino pushed open the door and led Clark out of the apartment.

Walking the streets of London, I didn't see any of the so-called local customs and traditions, but there were quite a few criminals of non-white skin color.

Robberies and thefts were rampant.

However, the moment these petty thieves saw Gino appear, they all transformed into law-abiding citizens.

Many people immediately took out their phones to take photos with the two.

"I think I understand now."

Clark pushed through the crowd with difficulty and followed Gino. The bio-force field that rose from the boy kept all citizens who wanted to approach the two of them outside the barrier.

"Alright, let's run there."

Gino strode across the road like a bolt of lightning, with Clark close behind.

In just a moment, the two stopped and found themselves standing in front of an apartment building.

Looking at the apartment number "401" written on the sign, Clark swallowed hard and reached out to knock on the door.

"Da da da~"

There was a knock on the door.

"Click".

The door opened, and a brown-haired young man stood inside, rubbing his hair.

"Who are you?"

His gaze shifted from Clark's face to Gino's, and a look of delight immediately appeared on his face: "Gino Luther!"

The young man let out a high-pitched scream, immediately turned around, grabbed a marker from the table, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm your fan!"

"Oh." Gino shrugged, wrote his name on the man's white shirt with a marker, and patted Clark on the shoulder, saying, "This is Clark, also Lana's friend."

"Could you tell us the details of what happened?"

"Of course!" The man nodded and stepped aside. "Please follow me."

The apartment was neatly furnished, but the messy underwear scattered on the sofa made Clark's face turn pale.

Although she said she didn't care, her ideal woman was living with someone else.

This fact still stirred up Clark's jealousy.

Gino had no mood to comfort Clark.

He listened as Lana's boyfriend recounted what had happened.

"So you're saying she went into the bathroom to take a shower and then disappeared?"

The man nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, that's how it is."

"I see."

In the spacious living room, Gino looked down at the shimmering magical energy in his hand.

Just like in Diana's room before, the rewind magic doesn't work in this room.

"Gino".

Clark moved over to the boy's side. He had just been thinking and decided to ask his friend:

"What do we do next?"
