Chapter 49: Preparations for Re-entry (1)
After returning to the origin space, Lin Ming did not plan to immediately re-enter the world of "Fantastic Four". This time he needed to do some advance preparation, but also for experimentation.
Actor Michael Ceccles is best known for his controversial role as Detective Vic in the drama "The Shield" on FX Cable TV Network. He has also won the Emmy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.
Of course, Lin Ming didn't plan to enter the shield to exchange feelings with the police detective Vic, who had complicated feelings, a messy family, and unscrupulous means to handle the case.
In fact, Lin Ming is thinking that Michael Cecles also plays a character that is very similar to the setting of the stone man, that is, Jim Powell in "Extraordinary Family".
His family each gained a different permanent superpower due to an accident in a plane accident on a trip to South America. Jim Powell was given superpowers of immensity, invulnerability, and incredible bouncing, and he didn't turn into a stone man.
Well, I won't complain about how unscientific the process of obtaining superpowers is here, anyway, many seemingly scientific superpower blockbusters are also full of various bugs.
Lin Ming felt that since both were played by the same actor, perhaps the same means could be used to make the stone man also gain the same superpowers as Jimmy Powell, so he would not need the ability of the stone man.
I have to say that the superpower of the stone man is easy to use, but it is a huge burden for the owner.
Of course, on the other hand, Lin Ming is also very curious about the superpower research in the extraordinary family, and there are a few smart people in it, but he can consider talking to them in the future.
Julie Benz, who played Jim Powell's wife Stephanie, is also a big beauty, but what impressed Lin Ming the most was the ruthless and glamorous vampire Darla she played in "Angel by Night", but unfortunately it could not be saved, and it was a tragedy in the end.
Of course, the role of the married woman in this film, Stephanie is also very attractive. and her cute female assistant with a bit of otaku attributes. Although their daughter's performance in this drama is immature, she also has a little cute feeling, but this little girl can read minds, which is very troublesome.
However, Lin Ming didn't plan to stay in the world of "Extraordinary Family" for a long time this time, maybe after he had an eyebrow, he could consider living in that warm and noble community for a while and becoming neighbors with the family in the play.
The main purpose now is to obtain the special herb that allows people to obtain superpowers. And how to get superpowers is also revealed in the series.
Probably because there are too many loopholes in the plot, or the screenwriter's ability cannot support his brains, the American imperialist audience is also tired of this kind of overflowing superpower dramas. So this family super drama was cut after only one season.
Well, Lin Ming doesn't really want to complain about how unreasonable the plot of this show is, but the superpowers in it are still very cool, and they are all very practical.
However, because there is a huge suspense left behind, such as the villain forces in the play creating an army of superpowered criminals. So the world of this show actually has a foundation for continuation.
Lin Ming thinks that maybe this can also be used as a place for future experiments, such as how to continue the suspense of the plot world that was cut in half.
Of course, for the time being, Lin Ming was only going to get those three-haired grasses that could make people gain superpowers, which were the props he would use to conduct experiments on the stone man next time.
Lin Ming saw that his current existential power had reached level 6, and after 1,059,000 points, he had to sigh that this time he had gained a lot in the world of the Fantastic Four.
"It seems that the way to increase the power of existence is not only to change the plot, but also to increase the power in the story world if you gain it. And it seems easier to do so without causing any unpredictable trouble. ”
Lin Ming recorded the new way of obtaining the power of existence, and he planned to verify the limitations and negative effects of this method of obtaining the power of existence once again after entering the world of the extraordinary family.
Well, Belém, this place mentioned in the movie. Lin Ming looked at this small town in the tropical rainforest region of Brazil, except for a simple and dilapidated small airport, the town was dilapidated and small, and it looked like a frontier area like the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the 80s of China. And the law and order aspect is far from comparable. At least in such a short moment, Lin Ming had already seen several groups of suspected gang members.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Ming looked very tall and strong, he was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a costume that only mercenaries wear. The waist looks bulging, apparently a pistol. He felt that those locals with murder in their eyes might have wanted to kidnap the ticket for a long time.
This is also where Lin Ming felt speechless, before the family gained extraordinary abilities, they all had their own flaws, not to mention, they were just ordinary people.
Oh, it should be said that Jim Powell is adventurous and romantic, but he was a soft egg before he got the ability, and he was looked down upon by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
This magical trip was planned by him, so he died, and he also gained superpowers, should it be said that it is worthy of the protagonist's aura?
Just as Lin Ming expected, sure enough, he saw the Powell family in this chaotic Latin American town. They were coming to town on what looked like a modified bus.
A bald old family man who looks like he is 50 years old and a woman who clearly looks young and sexy, but is still a high-income successful woman in her 30s. There are also two problem children around them, the younger son has autism, and the daughter is ordinary and unconfident.
The combination of this family looks really weird, especially the typical kind of family where the wife is strong and the husband is weak. And this time it was a rare time for Jim Powell, who almost buried his whole family in the South American rainforest.
Now, when I went, I was excited, I felt that it was a rare trip, and now I know by looking at the faces of this family that the huge gap between the ideal and the reality makes them have a sense of being pitted.
Of course, as the initiator of the tour, Jim Powell was still very interested, silly and greeted the locals who seemed to be looking at fat sheep.
Lin Ming immediately greeted him and said hello, "Hey, hello." Lin Ming, a native of China. ”
Jim and Lin Ming shook hands amicably and said, "Jim Powell, this is my wife Stephanie, daughter Dafanie and son Jamie. ”
Lin Ming secretly said in his heart, he is really a good person. He threw a huge good guy card on the middle-aged fat man, and then praised: "Your wife is so beautiful, and you have a pair of lovely children." Are you here for a tourist? ”
"yes, we've heard the scenery is nice."
"Yes, that's not all I know. I've heard that a group of unidentified armed men have recently come to the woods, and they seem to be looking for something. ”
Lin Ming's words immediately made the good old man Jim a little worried, and it was really as described in the TV series. Before Jim gained superpowers, he was indecisive, timid, and a housewife in every way. On the contrary, his wife is strong and confident.
Stephanie patted Jim on the shoulder and asked, "Is everything you said true?" Before I traveled, I asked Katie to help me check the news and some information here in Belen. I don't think any militants will take a fancy to this place. ”
"Hey, why didn't you tell me before, and you asked Katie to check the details here. In that case, there is no point in exploring. Jim felt like he couldn't afford to lose face in front of an outsider.
"Please, we're here for a vacation, not to be Dr. Jones, and this isn't a lost world. Why are you always so naïve? ”
"As I said, why did you always suggest that we come to Belém?"
Lin Ming coughed, he couldn't help but feel that this family was really superb, he said in a low voice: "Now the situation is different, haven't you noticed, there seem to be a lot of unknown people in this town." ”
Stephanie frowned, she felt that the most dangerous and unknown guy in the town was the mercenary in front of her who claimed to be Chinese. She was not as honest as her husband, and she could see at a glance that Lin Ming had a weapon hidden on her. So she didn't want to have too much contact with Lin Ming, and even wanted to leave here quickly with her family.
On the contrary, Jim seemed to be really cautious, looked around, and the honest man felt that his neck was a little cold, and said in a low voice: "Then we will immediately find a restaurant with a large family and go to eat first." Then think about the things about this trip. Of course, travel is a must. And thank you, my friend. ”
Lin Ming saw the helpless expressions on his family's faces behind Jim, it seemed that they had encountered such things many times, of course, Jim was lucky to meet Lin Ming.
When eating at the largest restaurant in the town, Jim warmly invited Lin Ming to eat with them. Lin Ming was not polite, and did it with a smile.
"Lin, are you really a mercenary?"
"Yes, I'm an independent mercenary, and of course I don't have much work right now, so I'll rest in this town first."
"Wow, what are you mercenaries usually doing?"
Lin Ming smiled, "I don't think you want to know, in fact, it's not about doing anything particularly dangerous." You've always thought of mercenaries as too mysterious. For us, the best work is to be safe and make money. And often those jobs that sound tempting are often accompanied by fatal crises. Being a mercenary is definitely not to die for the sake of death. ”
Lin Ming's words seemed to make Jim feel a little incredible, he thought that the mercenaries were just shooting and bullets every day, and then doing some earth-shattering things at every turn.
Lin Ming told him that the mercenary was not 007, nor was he an American soldier. They are the ones who eat in these chaotic places. It may be true that it is more dangerous than the lives of ordinary people, but they also have professional skills that ordinary people do not have.
