American comics: weaving myths, starting from urban legends

The universe where Chu Mu lives.

Earth.

New York

“Tick-tick-tick…tick-tick-tack…tick-tick-tack~tick……”

Rain silently invades every corner of the city -.

A line of rain poured down from the sky, and the entire city seemed to be shrouded in mist and rain. The hazy picture still contained a smell that could only be smelled on rainy days.

The unique smell of earth mixed with city dust

“The rain is really heavy.”People standing under the eaves of houses to take shelter from the rain seem to have to pass through a waterfall to block their view of the sleepy city outside.

“The weather forecast in the morning actually said that it would be sunny today. I really believed the weather bureau’s lies.”People who go out without umbrellas can only hide outside various stores in distress. The rare heavy rain in several years has left people without the courage to become”warriors under the rain curtain.” They can only find shelter and pray for a stop. Rain complained to the Meteorological Bureau.

In just a few dozen minutes, the ground was covered with water. The water was like a mirror, allowing people to see various shops and high-rise buildings reflected in it.

Such a picture is actually It is very special. However, few people are in the mood to appreciate it quietly. Most people taking shelter from the rain are anxiously looking at their watches or scrolling through their mobile phones. The pace of life in big cities is very fast.

Many people are When work progress is delayed due to heavy rain, those with money can still take a taxi to complete the work, while those without money can only hide under the eaves and wait for sunny days to appear.

In New York, the license plate of a taxi can even be as high as One million US dollars, you can imagine how big the profit margin is in this industry. Most people can’t afford taxi services.

When going out, most people’s choice of transportation is either buses, subways, or private cars. That’s fine. In short, no one would choose a taxi unless they have no choice.

And with such a rare heavy rain hitting New York in several years, many knowledgeable people will not choose to risk their lives by taking a taxi in New York.

After all, New

York subway stations have been flooded more than once or twice. Only true warriors dare to take the subway on rainy days. If you are not careful, you may be buried underneath and become one of the”water ghosts”

“It’s already this time, why hasn’t it stopped raining?”

Some office workers working in the company found that when it was time to get off work, the downpour did not even slow down at all.

“Anyway, if I stay in the company, my boss will have to pay me overtime. It doesn’t matter how long I stay… Do you want to play the new card game?”

“I heard that among the orange cards there are people from the motherland.”

Some employees who work at Moyu said they are not worried at all about not being able to go home if it rains.

“People from the motherland? That superhero who was very popular on the Internet before? Are there any card games licensed by that guy?”My colleagues are very curious about the so-called card game.

“The authorization is definitely not authorized, but the people of the motherland have not been out for activities for a long time, and they don’t even have a spokesperson, so naturally no one will be held responsible for the infringement.”

The employee who was playing the card game said with a serious face. The colleague next to him came over to study for a few times and found that this was actually the ultimate pirated game that included all the superheroes on the earth.

“Be careful about computer viruses.”

A kind reminder

“It doesn’t matter, it’s just a company computer.”

In exchange for irrefutable reasons.

The people next to me downloaded the game.

“Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh………”

The rain outside kept falling, and the sound changed from ticking to gurgling. Looking out from the window, I could only see a blur of streets. Compared with the people hiding under the eaves, those who had no way to take shelter from the rain and were soaked in the rain were pitiful.

Just like Old Town in New York.

There are not many developed high-rise buildings, and there are not many places that can be used to take shelter from the rain. In an ancient city alley, heavy rain pours down continuously.

The water stains on the stone pavement reflect the dim light, and the flowing rainwater gathers into rapids in the narrow ditches, constantly passing between the old houses and walls.

Because the people living in the old city are from the bottom of society, many of whom are restless criminals, municipal construction has basically done nothing here.

Gangs are everywhere, and the police don’t like to patrol here.

“Hey, there is a little girl here?”

Some gang members got high by taking those little pills. They thought they were a happy little fish in the rain, wandering around and came to the depths of the alley.

“I deserve to be rich!”

The gang members with dyed yellow hair saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old, wearing an adult’s black robe, standing alone on the street under the rain. The rain kept beating on her body. The adult robes that have been completely dragged to the ground have long been completely soaked by the water on the ground.

“Little sister, can’t you find your family? Come, follow me, and I’ll take you to your family.”The yellow-haired gang member approached with a wicked smile.

His mind was still wandering, but when he saw the delicate little girl who looked like a doll, he was sober after being blinded by wealth. point

“Such goods can be sold for at least 100,000 US dollars on the dark web! No! One hundred and fifty thousand!”He looked at the exquisite little girl in front of him and had uncontrollable evil thoughts in his heart.

Human trafficking.

Underage girls are very valuable and in demand, whether they are used to extract organs or sold to others as slaves. It can allow him to gain a sum of money that can be squandered for a long time.

As for the moral issue… What kind of morality can he talk about when he is already a gang? These underworld gangs in the United States have never been organizations that advocate morality and conscience.

“follow me.”

Thinking about how to spend this windfall, the gangster with yellow hair was about to pick up the little girl. His eyes were full of perverted excitement and greed.

“you are not a good person.”

Suddenly.

Wrapped in a loose black robe, the little girl suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were filled with deep darkness. The gang member with dyed yellow hair felt that his mind was completely absorbed in it.

“Boom~”

Before he knew it, the yellow-haired gang member turned into a withered corpse and fell to the ground. His soul was forever lost in the invisible horizon under the influence of the little girl.

“Who am I and where am I?”

The little girl’s face was childish, but her eyes were full of deep confusion.

She looked at the things around her.

The ancient buildings, the wet stone roads, the windows that were gleaming with rain… all of them Everything seemed extremely strange before her eyes. She wanted to recall something, but found that she couldn’t remember anything. The only thing she could vaguely remember was that she came to this world with a task to complete.

Obviously.

This It is a part of the spiritual essence of death.

Death has not only had its memory tampered with.

In fact, her essence has also become incomplete after being split into two by mysterious influences. An entity with a sound personality and memory is formed on the earth.

Of course.

Because the essence still exists, this little girl still has the power to control death, so that she can easily kill the gangsters who try to sell her as goods.

“Where am I from? Who am I? What do I want to accomplish?”The little girl’s expression was extremely confused. She looked like a fragile ship swaying in the storm.

The cloak was dark, and the rain made strings of water droplets on its surface. There was a damp atmosphere in the alley, Intertwined with the faint fragrance of the cloak, it forms a unique smell. This is a smell that the little girl is familiar with, and it is also the only smell that she can perceive as her own.

“I am……”

There are memories in my mind that seem to be ready to come out.

However.

No matter how the little girl covered her head and thought, the final enlightenment failed to emerge. She could only stand silently in the rain and tried her best to think hard.

“Brian, Brian!”

There was a shouting voice. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It was the companion of the gang member with yellow hair from before

“Brian are you over there?”A group of people who were also in high spirits staggered through the rain curtain, paying no attention to the heavy rain that soaked them and turned them into drowned rats.

Many of them held various modified firearms in their hands. To a normal person, A group of five like this���All six-color tattoo groups will definitely avoid them.

“What are they?”

The little girl was attracted by the shouts of this group of people.[]

She dragged her robe that could be used as a sheet and came closer.

“Do you know who I am?”

The little girl stood at the entrance of the alley.

She tried to ask for help from a group of social scum outside. Naturally, she found the wrong person to ask for help. These people were the same as the gang members with yellow hair.

“What a beautiful little girl, tsk tsk, toys delivered to my door.”

“quick! Get her quickly!”

Facing a little girl who looked like eight or nine years old.

This group of scum.

Many people actually started to take off their pants directly. For the gangsters in the old city, they are the most powerful people in the entire human society. Scum for maggots

“You are not good people either.”

The little girl sensed the evil intentions of these people. She frowned and was about to activate her abilities, but she suddenly felt a dizziness in her brain.

“I……”

The little girl didn’t know what was wrong with her.

Seeing her body swaying and falling to the rain-covered ground, and those drug addicts with perverted looks getting closer and closer, it seemed that something bad was about to happen to her.

“”Da da da~”

Suddenly.

There was a sound of crutches colliding with the ground in the distance. The sound was not loud but it was extremely clear, even suppressing the sound of the pouring rain. The gang who were walking halfway Zole was also involuntarily attracted by the sound. He stopped and turned with his companions to look in the direction of the sound.

They saw a thin old man in a black suit, holding a dark umbrella and walking slowly. Get closer. When he walked, the water on the ground was actually spreading and flowing to the side.

0 Asking for flowers. Every time the old man took a step, the water on the ground in front of him must”dodge” to the side first, allowing him to step on it. On the dry ground, his shoes and pants were not stained by any water droplets. Such a strange sight made a group of gang members feel very surprised. However, because they all drank enough washing powder, more than a dozen No one realizes the seriousness of the problem

“Are you doing magic? Old man?”

Some people actually ridiculed

“Go away with your magic tricks and don’t disturb the good things of the gentlemen!”Some people who couldn’t wait to enjoy the”little pudding” sneered loudly and rudely,”Or do you, a guy like you who has probably lost your status as a man, also want to join our queue?”

As the sneer fell, the surrounding gang members also laughed wildly. Everyone looked at the approaching old man with joking eyes.

They all held firearms in their hands, and no one thought that the old man was a threat. And The old man in a suit, who was like an old gentleman, was completely indifferent to the humiliation of this group of dangerous people.

His eyes were not focused on these gangsters from beginning to end – just like humans looking at ants and earthworms.

With the same attitude, the old man in a suit had no intention of talking to this group of people.

He walked straight through a group of gangsters and walked towards the little girl in a black robe in a hurry. From the beginning, the old man in a suit had only reflections in his eyes. silhouette of little girl

“Old man! If you don’t get out of here! Be careful my toys catch fire!!”The gangster who had untied his belt and approached the little girl before looked at the old man in a suit walking past him with an annoyed look.

Seeing that the old man in a suit ignored him at all, the gangster was stimulated by the hallucinogenic substances in his brain and said nothing. He just shot the old man in the suit.

“boom!”

Deafening gunshots rang out in the rain. However, no one fell to the ground amid the gunfire. The bullets were suspended five or six meters away from the old man in the suit.

Of course.

Such a small scene is too much. The gangster who was selling the washing powder was definitely invisible. He showed a very puzzled expression, and his companions not far away laughed at him.

“Harrison, your marksmanship is too bad, right? You can’t even hit an old man at such a close range?”Most of the gangsters here are politically correct and dark-skinned.

They don’t know what it means to abide by the law, and they have no respect for other people’s lives. Anyone who dares to attack a little girl is naturally a criminal.

“Damn it! Who says I can’t hit!”

The gangster known as Harson became angry. Under the stimulation of the words of his friends and accomplices, he planned to imitate the police’s usual method of emptying the magazine of the pistol.

However, he did not know that it was because of their concern for life. The lack of awe, or perhaps their behavior was regarded as blasphemy to the old man, the old man in suit who had been ignoring this group of gangsters finally turned around – he just glanced at this group of people gently, and then He turned his head back to look at the little girl in front of him.

Just as the old man in the suit continued to move, behind him, all the laughing sounds suddenly stopped, and a group of gangsters fell to the ground in pain, clutching their hearts..

Just for a moment.

These people were silent – they could continue to enjoy the pain for a few seconds before death, which was a gift from the old man in the suit to these provocateurs.

“What did you do to them?”

The little girl looked curiously at the man in the suit walking towards her. The instinct from the depths of her soul made her blurt out a shout to the man in the suit in front of her.

“My knight.”

After the words fell, the little girl couldn’t help but be stunned. The title she called out instinctively still made her unable to think of anything.

“It seems that you have encountered some changes, dear sister.”It looks really weird for an old man to call a little girl sister.”

“younger sister? are you my brother?”

The little girl looked at the old man in front of her in shock, but she didn’t question why such an old guy had a younger sister like her.

“Regarding my identity, didn’t you just say that I am your knight?”

The old man in the suit smiled gently. He moved the black umbrella in his hand to where the little girl was standing, blocking the little girl from the rain from the sky.

“Of course, in your current state, you can indeed continue to call me brother.”The gentleman-like old man in a suit paused for a moment.

He continued to murmur an intriguing sentence,”At least, in our background story, we are set as twins conceived in the shadows.”

The Death Knight’s words were full of meaning.

The little girl who lost her memory showed a puzzled expression.

“Set as twins?”

Although she still couldn’t remember who she was, when she heard the words of the man in the suit, she still realized that she seemed to have found her mission and purpose in coming to this place.
