Chapter 1: Flash Point
Gotham City, a city where crime and justice coexist, also hides unspeakable evil against the backdrop of glamorous high-rise buildings. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The night gives the city the best umbrella, and under this darkness is the perfect enemy of evil. Although, this has nothing to do with Zhou Ran, whether it is a superhero who saves the city or a supervillain who destroys this land, he has never really contacted them, and he still knows more about them from newspapers and magazines and the hero movie of the same name.
Of course, living in a city that could be taken over by villains and rescued by superheroes at any time, Zhou Ran will be affected by it to a greater or lesser extent. Worshipping superheroes and disgusting criminals is probably the feeling of every citizen living in Gotham City, even if Zhou Ran has no performance on the surface, he will keep a poster of Wonder Woman at home.
"Hey, Zhou, we'll see you tomorrow, remember the ...... tomorrow night" said goodbye to Zhou Ran, who was about to leave after changing into the uniform of the fast food restaurant, if anyone saw this scene here at this moment, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat. There was no figure anywhere under the darkness of the night, only the voice that swayed in the air was very strange.
"Well, well, I know, Ryan, I'll go if I have time......" nodded nonchalantly and said perfunctorily, in fact, Zhou Ran didn't pay much attention to tomorrow's so-called party at all, as a Chinese student who came from across the ocean to study, most of his energy was focused on his studies.
"Zhou, didn't I say you, didn't you all say that you all want to work and rest together, I think you should do the same, and participate in these party activities more," the strange voice sounded again, and a big black man walked out from behind, patted Zhou Ran's thin shoulder enthusiastically, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "What's more, Jennifer, who you have always liked, will also participate......"
"You're talking about a combination of work and rest," looking at the black friend next to him who was hiding in the dark with his natural protective color, Zhou Ran reluctantly began his defense again, "Also, Ryan, how many times have I said that Jennifer and I are just ordinary friends, and I don't have any ideas about girls who are taller than me at all." "Zhou Ran, who is 175 standard Asian in height, is completely the figure of a thin bamboo pole in the tall European and American countries that are generally tiger-backed.
"I know, I know," Zhou Ran responded with a hippie smile, but he didn't know if his natural skin color was too rebellious, anyway, Zhou Ran in the night only saw two eyeballs and a mouthful of clean white teeth floating in the air, but from the tone of voice, he could hear that the other party was the same as usual, and he didn't take his explanation to heart at all.
"Forget it, I'll go back first......" Facing this flamboyant but enthusiastic black big man, Zhou Ran had to give up his plan to defend again, waved goodbye to the other party and prepared to leave.
At night, Gotham City is filled with illuminated decorations that dye the city in a different color. It's just that Zhou Ran's temporary residence is a bit remote, and he walked along the deserted road for more than ten minutes before he could see the hut where he lived, which was a suburban place in the big city of Gotham City.
As a part-time international student, although he did not worry about tuition fees because of the reduction and exemption of national policies and the subsidy of his public university, his usual life and rent also forced him to find a part-time waiter job off-campus, and the black big Ryan just now was his alumni and work partner. As for why he didn't live in the dormitory assigned by the school and still had the money to rent a house outside, it was purely because Zhou Ran was a little late when he transferred to another school, and he had no choice but to do it, not to mention that it was really clean and clean, without the noise in the university dormitory, and it was more convenient for him to work outside.
There is actually not too far from the restaurant where he works to the house rented by Zhou Ran, only a road that is not too long, but this road separates the bustling Gotham City from the deserted suburbs, and there is no car shadow on the empty road except for the light projected by the street lamp.
"Well, what is it?" Perhaps because of his usual walking habits, Zhou Ran was already tired of seeing the same scenery on the side of the road, and suddenly found the green light flickering in the grass on the side of the road, which immediately aroused his curiosity, and walked in the direction of the green light in three steps and two steps.
Taking a closer look, Zhou Ran found that the original round luminous body was not emitting the green light he had imagined, but a seemingly irregular colorful light, but he thought it had fallen into the grass, because the reflection of the grass would make people mistakenly think that it was emitting green light.
What the hell is this? Looking at the sphere that had been changing colors, Zhou Ran carefully observed it, and made sure that there was no problem, and this time he slowly reached out to touch it with a cautious attitude. He couldn't help but be cautious, after all, who knows what it is, if it's just an ordinary glowing toy, it's fine, if it's really something amazing, it's really not easy, and it may turn into something dangerous.
You know, you must be cautious when encountering anything unfamiliar, many superheroes and supervillains have touched unfamiliar things (what radioactivity, radiation, rings, spiders...... It's like this, if it's good, it's okay, but if it's because of something weird, it's not human, it's not a ghost, then Zhou Ran is willing to be an ordinary person by himself.
Hard, icy cold. This was Zhou Ran's first feeling when he touched this luminous sphere, and there was no expected warm feeling, although it exuded a changing colorful light, but there was no heat at all. However, although the touch in his hand was as hard as metal, Zhou Ran, who held it in his hand, unexpectedly found that the luminous body was very light, and the sphere that he barely held in the palm of one hand was not as heavy as a pebble, and the strange feel surprised Zhou Ran.
Is it rare that the inside is hollow? Somewhat strangely, he shook the ball in his hand and thought about it carefully, but Zhou Ran didn't see any obvious seams, and the whole ball seemed to be formed as a whole.
It can't be some new toy that I don't know about, right? After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find anything strange about the luminous body, so Zhou Ran, who was still looking forward to the adventure, had to let go of the vague expectation in his heart, but he still put the ball of light in his pocket under the inexplicable thought of the ghost.
On the suburban road covered by night, a middle-aged truck driver with a stubble face on an old truck full of heavy loads is yawning and sleepy-eyed holding the steering wheel mechanically driving forward, and it will not be long before you can reach the raw material processing plant in Gotham City.
"Ahh
"Oh, My......" Death hides in your casual moment, just as the moment the truck driver's expression relaxes, the blurred figure under the dazzling headlights suddenly makes him wake up from his heavy fatigue, and hurriedly stretches out his hand to turn the steering wheel to try to move the truck away, but it is obviously too late......
Zhou Ran only felt a dazzling light hit his defenseless fragile eyes, and then he felt as if his body had been hit by a hard cement and soared into the air, but just as this great gravitational force was about to exert its powerful rules to pull Zhou Ran who was floating in mid-air, everything around him stopped like a mosquito frozen in amber.
Time stopped at this second, whether it was Zhou Ran, who was hit into the air by the truck, or the middle-aged truck driver with a frightened face in the driver's seat, even if it was a small pebble rolling at will, the wind blowing in the air stopped as strangely as the black and white shot of a movie that was pressed the pause button.
However, during this pause, a red beam of light ran at a speed beyond human imagination, at first it was just a faint red shadow, and then immediately turned into a red beam, and disappeared in an instant as it crossed the empty road.
It turned out that it was not that time was suspended, but that in this world of red beams, time had lost its meaning at all, and everything was still in the world he walked through. However, perhaps because he was too accustomed to running in this still time, the beam did not notice that the moment he ran past the truck, the Asian man who was still in the air also burst into a bright red light, and then disappeared into this space.
“fuck!!” Only to hear the sound of Dez, the huge rubber tires of the truck on the solid cement road scratched a black trace, the air was filled with the smell of burning rubber, but the middle-aged truck driver was in no mood to pay attention to this matter, and climbed down from the driver's seat with a panicked face, and then the original panicked expression immediately turned into a living ghost, which looked very funny.
On this empty road, where can I see any other figures, "It's rare to see the hell?!" Looking at the empty road all around, there seemed to be some terrible creatures hidden on both sides of the dark road at night, and even the wind blowing in his ears seemed to be shouting something, and the driver, who was already a little weak in the face of this situation, couldn't stay any longer, hurriedly climbed back into the driver's seat of the truck, hurriedly started the car and fled.
Ps: It's still not as interesting as it was to write, and it's not as interesting as it was to restart, so let's use the reversal to continue writing.
