Cthulhu America, I can see the kill line.

Does Kong Jiu like superheroes?

To be honest, he liked it quite a bit in his past life.

He likes Batman.

Detective games, a no-kill principle, and high-level intellectual battles—it sounds like a pretty cool theme.

Most importantly, Kong Jiu always fantasized about how wonderful it would be if he were as rich as Batman.

However, he later discovered that Batman, having lost his parents, was living a rather awkward life despite having endless money.

Perhaps this is what they mean by "with great power comes great responsibility"?

So, he gradually stopped fantasizing about becoming a superhero.

His biggest dream was simply to finish his studies, find a job with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, and honestly settle down to get married and have children.

Of course, being of mixed Shandong and Shanxi descent, dedicating his life to serving the people like an ox could be considered one of his ultimate life goals...

Unfortunately, he never imagined that he would crash, time-travel, and end up in this unfamiliar place, taking the lives of others one after another.

"If everything goes smoothly, we might not even have to have a conflict."

Kong Jiu explained to the pairs of eyes staring at him in the most gentle and friendly tone possible.

He has done his best.

But all the glances that came from that direction conveyed the same question:

Are you the mastermind behind this?

"It seems you're not very welcoming of me? Perhaps I've come at the wrong time?"

Kong Jiu took the initiative to show weakness, waving his hand and revealing an awkward, bitter smile on his face.

Captain hope raised his head, his eyes flashing with a chilling killing intent, which pierced straight at Kong Jiu.

"How much force would it take to kick open that reinforced blast door?"

He asked the people around him in a low voice, while bending down to pick up the still-wet alloy shield from the ground.

"Normally, Captain, you could open it with your bare hands, but perhaps the enemy who attacked today destroyed half of it when they stormed in, and that yellow monkey just happened to..."

A hero standing nearby, clearly portrayed as a strategist due to his focus on economic speed, chimed in with a reply.

But before he could finish speaking, Captain Hitchcock, shield in hand, strode up to Kong Jiu.

"Wow, aren't you the famous Captain Hills?"

Facing Captain Hills, a standard blond, blue-eyed, star-like white man with an aggressive gaze, Kong Jiu braced himself and extended his hand in greeting.

"Please, please, have some mercy, I don't want to kill anyone!"

Contrary to his outward calm, Kong Jiu was practically screaming inside.

Captain Hitch glanced at his outstretched hand, showing no intention of shaking it.

Those deep blue pupils slowly moved upwards, fixing their gaze on Kong Jiu's face, then raised their sharply defined chins towards the corpses of the lower city's army on the ground.

"Are you in cahoots with these people?"

Kong Jiu glanced at the corpses, first nodding, then shaking his head.

"Although I hate to admit it, I did come here with the same purpose as these people..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sharp edge of the alloy shield had already struck his shoulder blade squarely.

Kong Jiu's pupils widened slightly as he looked at Captain Hills, who had suddenly attacked him.

"You ambushed me?"

[Strength 19, Agility 12, Intelligence 1, Drug-resistant mutant.]

This is the opponent's panel that Kong Jiu detected.

How should I describe it?

I feel like this person wouldn't even survive a single encounter with Mina.

Kong Jiu's intelligence has now reached over forty points. With the blessing of "From Mind to Matter", his strength and agility are already on a completely different level from these mortals.

Therefore, Kong Jiu was completely unsuspecting. Even though Captain hope's movement of raising his shield to strike him was so slow that Kong Jiu could see it clearly, he never expected that the other party would actually bring it down.

After all, the other party is a great and righteous hero, they wouldn't resort to sneak attacks, would they?

Surely... no way?

It wasn't until the alloy shield chafed his skin, leaving a bloody gash, that Kong Jiu realized:

Perhaps these superheroes are not as gentle and refined as he imagined.

Kong Jiu instinctively raised his hand and grabbed Captain hope, who was trying to push the shield toward his neck.

"What's with all this seriousness?"

Kong Jiu winced in pain, muttering angrily as he grabbed the captain by the neck and lifted him off the ground like a chick.

The wound on the shoulder blade had stopped bleeding, and it was estimated that the wound had already healed beneath the bloodstains.

He genuinely didn't want to be enemies with these children's heroes and make himself look like a villain.

"I told you, if everything goes smoothly, we might not have to fight. Are you deaf?"

Captain hope's face turned purple from being choked, but this also calmed him down, and he was no longer as emotionally out of control as before.

Just then, from a few steps away in the Hills Alliance crowd, someone shouted, "Save the captain!"

Psychic bullets, gravity gun beams, ice shards...

Countless bizarre, long-range attack energy entities roared towards us.

Sigh, I'm tired.

Kong Jiu gazed at the rain of bullets, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

He really didn't want to use violence against these people.

In his eyes, the bullets were moving so slowly they were almost motionless.

Unfortunately, my reaction time wasn't fast enough to dodge them all.

However, there's no need to hide.

Judging from the information obtained through [Spiritual Vision], the kinetic energy and spiritual power carried by these attacks were so great that they could hardly even break through his defenses.

Killing Captain Hills, who was in his hands, would be more than enough.

Are these people really here to rescue him?

"Don't these superheroes ever think of using their brains to solve problems?"

Kong Jiu sighed softly and casually flicked his finger.

Besides leaving Kong Jiu the [Time Control] which can accelerate the flow of time, Farah also left him a lot of telekinetic magic.

Having only recently acquired it, Kong Jiu had not yet had a chance to use it.

Perfect timing! I saw that the Fara missile interceptor worked well, so I thought I'd give it a try.

He clenched his fist, and spiritual energy surged through the circuit, transforming into invisible mental power that grasped all the incoming projectiles.

Within the invisible vortexes, the energy gradually dissipated, and the bullets lost power, clattering to the ground.

"A psionic missile fired by a near-D-level psionicist with an intelligence of less than 15, an electromagnetic pulse rifle that costs $800 apiece on the market, a block of ice thrown manually using pure physical means..."

Kong Jiu shook his head, looking at the attacks he had neutralized with a single move, and placed Captain hope, whose eyes were trembling and whose breathing was rapid, back on the ground.

"You think you can just scratch me with something that could drown your captain?"

The faint blue in his eyes gradually faded, and Kong Jiu looked helplessly at the group of superheroes who were still eyeing him menacingly.

"If you really don't want to talk to me, then I'll just have to incapacitate you and go in to get what I want."

Taking advantage of the pause in Kong Jiu's speech, Captain Hills scrambled and staggered back into the Hills Alliance crowd.

Even the shield was left at Kongjiu's feet.

"He's a psionicist! He's a psionicist!"

Captain Hitchcock's voice trembled, almost screaming, "Quickly, go and fetch Ms. Red Leaf! Only she can confront a psychic!"
