My girlfriend is a Kryptonian

Future Chronicle Headquarters, top floor office.

With a clang.

Xi Nian, wearing steel armor, fell from the sky back to the open-air balcony on one side. The French window door on the top floor opened, and a green-haired girl in a men's suit quickly came out to greet him.

In an instant, Xi Nian realized that there should be a change in the situation on the side of target No. 1.

After all, with the boss's proud temperament, he would never specially welcome his younger brother.

Sure enough.

Lorna said calmly: "Pietro is missing."

"Missing?" Xi Nian's face sank, and he walked into the office that was better than a luxury suite.

"Master, this is the surveillance video of target No. 1's home five minutes ago." Alice quickly reported while calling up the virtual projection.

It can be seen that the surveillance camera is the perspective of Pietro's room.

Five minutes ago.

Pietro was wearing pajamas, sitting cross-legged on his bed playing video games. His hands were clacking and operating, and the speed of his ten fingers turned into a blurred afterimage, so that the game characters in the video game could not keep up with his operation feedback.

At this moment.

Pietro looked down at the electronic watch on his left wrist, as if he remembered something, his face changed slightly, and he threw the damaged handle in his hand to the side-

Then.

The handle has not yet landed.

In the next frame of the surveillance video, Pietro disappeared directly on the bed, and the whole person seemed to evaporate!

If someone else saw this scene in the surveillance video, I'm afraid they would be scared to death.

However, Xi Nian was obviously accustomed to the extraordinary.

"Where did this kid go in the middle of the night?" Xi Nian muttered to himself.

He and Luna knew very well that Pietro did not disappear. It was that the other party's speed was too fast, exceeding the frame rate that the surveillance camera could capture.

Since Pietro's figure did not appear in the house.

This means that the other party has gone out...

"Boss, don't worry, I will find him." Xi Nian looked at Lu Na standing aside, stretched out his hand to hold the other party's clenched right hand, and comforted him confidently.

He knew that although Lu Na was domineering, she seemed to not care about anything.

In fact, just like three years ago, she was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and she cared about her family very much.

Therefore, when dealing with current things, she will slightly lose her previous calmness and composure.

But it doesn't matter.

Xi Nian smiled.

If you can't do it, let me help you achieve it. This is my duty!

...

Lorna didn't shake off Xi Nian's hand as usual, and let the boy hold it gently.

While Xi Nian was watching the virtual projection.

Luna glanced at the boy's handsome face, looking at the boy who took this matter seriously as his own business.

She didn't expect that she, who had always been independent and believed that she could accomplish anything by herself, would have a day so dependent on others.

Every time she was around, Luna found that she would become weak.

The hard shell of self-disguise from childhood to adulthood will always be inadvertently uncovered by the other party to reveal the inner softness.

Because he is a younger brother, it doesn't matter.

Every time, Luna would use this as a voice to comfort herself, and then step by step, she would think of this most special younger brother at the first time when encountering something, and instinctively want to rely on him.

Luna found that when Xi Nian was around, she would be more like a woman.

"So, is this the case..." Luna whispered to herself, her light green eyes were clear and bright, and at this moment she seemed to understand something.

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

Xi Nian glanced at her blankly, and did not forget to issue an order to Alice: "Use all satellites in the future era to scan the global monitoring network and find out Pietro's location as soon as possible."

"Nothing." Luna shook her head gently, and the corners of her mouth rose quietly.

Her right hand, which was originally clenched into a fist, relaxed and let Xi Nian's big hand wrap it.

...

Sokoviya.

This is a small country with no resources in the inland of Eastern Europe, which is mountainous, poor and turbulent.

It's called a country, but it's actually the size of a city.

At this time, Sokovia, in the city.

Wearing peaked caps and masks, a man and a woman walked hand in hand on the street, like travelers from foreign countries, revealing a pair of light green and light blue eyes respectively.

"Is Pietro really here?" The girlfriend looked around and asked curiously.

"Alice tracked the location of his mobile phone, it's here." The too young male companion shrugged and replied with a little surprise.

The current location is nearly thirteen time differences from New York, more than a hemisphere away.

So, it's still night in New York.

It's already a new day in Sokovia. The sun is rising from the dome of the snow-capped mountains in the east. Brilliant golden light falls on the city, and the cold white mist in the early morning melts in the air.

Only Pietro, in less than five minutes, suddenly ran so far away...

"Brother, I feel something is wrong. This place gives me a very uncomfortable feeling." Lorna moved closer to Xi Nian and whispered.

"I feel the same way."

Xi Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his spider sense swept outward. He could see many ragged locals behind the two of them, looking at them with empty and weird eyes.

The streets here are narrow and dilapidated, and the buildings seem to have been left over from World War II, with a smell of gunpowder. Only scattered local residents can be seen, and the word "prosperous" is even more unrelated.

Adding to the continuous snow-capped mountains surrounding the city, it is not like a so-called paradise, but more like a large city prison!

Just at this moment.

At the corner of a street in front, a cheerful voice suddenly came, dispersing the coldness and depression of the city.

Xi Nian and Lu Na looked at each other and quickened their pace at the same time.

It can be seen that the street corner not far away.

A dozen local children with ragged clothes surrounded a silver-haired boy wearing goggles, and their gray faces were full of expectation, waving their arms forward.

"Don't worry, everyone has a share, everyone has a share!"

Pietro grabbed handfuls of candy from his windbreaker pocket and stuffed them into the hands of local children.

Watching this scene by the wall, Xi Nian and Lu Na looked at each other.

It turned out that this was the reason why the other party was anxious to go out.

I thought I had encountered some crisis.

Xi Nian was a little amused, but soon, the smile on his face disappeared.

Under the Eye of Death

The black mist on Pietro's body condensed more and more, and it completely lingered around his whole body!

Not only that.

Xi Nian looked at the side of Pietro, and there were more than a dozen children, also lingering with black mist!

"No way."

A guess flashed through Xi Nian's mind, so he used the Eye of Death to observe other residents in the city at the moment.

In all likelihood, they were all lingering with the black mist symbolizing the concept of death, some more and some less!

"Little brother, what did you see?" Luna noticed that Xi Nian's expression was not right.

Xi Nian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This city... is the root!"
