American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The girl in front of me, with her gentle appearance, graceful figure, and elegant demeanor, was actually a very powerful esper.

This girl's surname was Zhang, and her name was Zhang Xiaowu. She was the leader of the group Qi Miao belonged to.

Don't underestimate their small organization. In total, there were only 20-plus people, but they were all espers. Their abilities focused on different aspects, so their combat power varied.

Zhang Xiaowu's ability was especially suited for combat. Multiple forces had been trying to subdue her for years without any success, so the country had unprecedentedly set her bounty at a staggering 37 billion.

You have to know that as the world's leading power, its currency has very strong purchasing power.

You can fill your stomach with just one dollar at a fast-food restaurant. This girl's bounty alone could feed a country for a year. Isn't it terrifying to think about?

The awakening of superpowers is random. Especially since all espers are in their adolescence, hormonal fluctuations can cause significant emotional ups and downs, so they can easily break the law with a little provocation.

Zhang Xiaowu had repeatedly protected espers from persecution by the government, and therefore was targeted by the government.

She had rescued about thirty-seven or eight espers, some of whom left for other reasons, and most of the rest stayed and joined Zhang Xiaowu's own organization.

The organization was called Yellow Springs Witch. Although 2/3 of the members were male, everyone was fine with the name, because Zhang Xiaowu was indeed a witch.

"I'm so bored. Forget it, I'm going home, or my brother will nag again!"

Qi Miao got up, stretched lazily, and stretched her arms and legs with some displeasure.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at her with a smile, "It doesn't sound like you're talking about your brother. I remember before, in your words, your brother was a very introverted person. Although he cared about you, he never said it openly. How has he become a nag now?"

"I don't know either. On the surface, he hasn't changed much, but I always feel that his eyes are much more lively. Every time he looks at me, I inexplicably feel a series of nagging."

Qi Miao rubbed her hair, feeling a little troubled.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled: "It's not your brother's fault. It's your own problem. Since you find it annoying, why not just move out and live with us, or rent an apartment by yourself? Having your own private space would be much more free. Why do you keep suffering yourself, living in the world of ordinary people? It's not good for you or for him!"

"I don't want to think about these issues right now..."

Before Qi Miao could finish speaking, the phone rang.

She was slightly stunned and answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Ms. Qi Miao? This is the funeral home. Your parents' bodies have been delivered. Please come over when you have time to sign the paperwork and complete the cremation and passport procedures!"

Qi Miao was completely stunned. "What did you say? My parents!"

"That's right, Mr. Qi Guoshan and Ms. Zhang Cuihua. From the procedures, it should be your parents and Mr. Qi Shan's parents. I have been trying to contact Mr. Qi Shan, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to find him. Seeing that the deadline is approaching, I can only call you. Please forgive me!"

Qi Miao didn't know how she hung up the phone. Her mind was blank, and she felt her ears ringing.

At the same time, Qi Shan, who had just walked out of the underground gym, also received a strange call.

For two consecutive months, Qi Shan had been maintaining his disguise, subtly changing bit by bit without attracting anyone's attention.

Two months ago, Qi Shan was a very busy biology teacher.

He had participated in human evolution engineering research, so he was relatively well-known at the school. Teachers and students would often come to ask questions and discuss academics. The original owner of the body also liked this kind of knowledge very much and was happy to exchange ideas with colleagues.

Two months later, Qi Shan's previous image had gradually faded. He was now a kind and generous man.

His charm to the opposite sex had increased by a level, but in the academic world, he gradually declined.

Moreover, under Qi Shan's management, he went from having to teach eight classes a week to only needing to teach one class a week.

He spent most of his remaining time in the library, reading all kinds of books, especially those related to superpowers.

After all, it was a near-future era, and paper books had been completely eliminated. They were all electronic versions. To prevent knowledge from leaking out, there was no signal in the library.

He spent most of his time here every day. When he got off work in the evening, everyone else had already left, and the funeral home was also closed, so he hadn't received the call.

If he hadn't suddenly had the whim to go to the newly opened store in front to sit for a while today, he probably would have stayed until he got off work.

After listening to the contents of the phone call, Qi Shan was surprised for a while, and then rushed to the funeral home. When he arrived, his sister Qi Miao was already waiting at the door. She lowered her head slightly, her long hair covering half of her face, seemingly expressing grief.

However, Qi Shan keenly noticed that her body was trembling slightly.

Was this sadness? Fear? Something was wrong. It seemed to be anger. Why anger?

Qi Shan was a little puzzled.

The two met at the door, looked at each other, and walked together into the funeral home without saying a word. The person who had called earlier was already waiting in the office.

That person was a young man in his twenties, wearing a well-fitting suit, with a * * * * * * face. The whole person looked very energetic, but the white flower on his chest was a little uncomfortable.

"I am very sorry to inform you that your parents have been confirmed dead.

The entire process will be sent to your email in electronic form, with pictures and texts, and accompanied by police transcripts and interrogation videos. If you have any questions, you can call the police directly, or go directly to their office."

Qi Shan raised his eyebrows. The police?

Seeing that the two had no reaction, the young man continued, "Then let me briefly explain it to you.

Your parents were on a flight back to the country six days ago when they suddenly encountered a battle on the same flight. They were affected by the superpower battle fluctuations, which led to the plane crash."

At the same time, the remaining 328 people on the plane also died. Due to the superpower battle fluctuations, a considerable number of people were beyond recognition. Your parents were relatively fortunate, but even with the police's efforts, only 1/3 of their bodies were recovered, so... … ”

The young man paused for a moment and sighed: “So, please accept our condolences!”

It was actually affected by the battle between superpowered beings!

Qi Shan narrowed his eyes and glanced at his younger sister.

The initial expression of anger had already been suppressed, but her hands were clenched white, obviously knowing more than he did. Could there be some inside story?

“Thank you for informing me. What is the next procedure?”

Qi Shan was silent for a while before asking.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to complete this troublesome task.

-------

Three days later, the funeral was held at the funeral home. Not many people came, and Qi Shan only recognized a small portion of them.

Throughout the entire process, Qi Miao remained silent, sitting sadly to the side, holding a photo of her parents.

Qi Shan had been watching the changes over these three days. The initial expression was undoubtedly anger, followed by blankness, until finally sadness gradually emerged.

Although their parents were busy with work and their emotions were relatively weak, they were, after all, their parents, and they had never treated them badly.

Especially the fact that they died in a battle between superpowered beings made Qi Miao very angry.

Qi Shan also felt a little emotional. In addition to handling the funeral affairs during these three days, he also found a lawyer and inherited the property of his two cheap parents.

Although the amount wasn't too much, it was wealthier compared to the average middle class, which showed that the two of them were indeed very hardworking.

Guests came and went, occasionally coming over to ask a few questions, either to offer condolences or something else, all of which were turned away by the master of ceremonies specially hired by Qi Shan.

The funeral did not last long. They dressed up and attended in the morning, and by the afternoon, everyone had dispersed.

The follow-up trivial matters were handled by specialists from the law firm.

When only Qi Shan and Qi Miao were left in the entire hall, Qi Shan pondered for a moment and slowly said: “I have already asked someone to inquire about the police who investigated the case at that time. Detailed information will be passed on later. If necessary, we can hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit against the airline!”

Qi Miao nodded: “Brother, you can handle these matters! I... … ”

Qi Miao was just about to say that she wanted to be alone for a while, but Qi Shan interrupted her.

“Alright, let's talk about serious matters after we finish the formalities. I think there are problems with the police investigation into our parents' deaths. If it has been determined that it was affected by the battle of superpowered beings, then why can't it be locked down to an individual?

I have asked some friends and asked a lot of questions, and found that there are still some opportunities. Since the police cannot give us justice, then I plan to investigate it myself!”

Qi Miao was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: “No, do you know how dangerous superpowered beings are? I absolutely don't agree!”

“Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life. I have my resources and channels, don't worry!”

Qi Miao looked at Qi Shan's confident appearance, wanting to say something but unable to say it. She really wanted to tell her elder brother that her parents' death was not just an accident, but because they were involved in a struggle between superpowered beings and were deliberately murdered.

But thinking of Zhang Xiaowu's instructions, she swallowed back what she wanted to say. Ordinary people are completely unable to understand the world of superpowered beings.

For Qi Shan, who is an ordinary person, even if he knows the truth, what can he do? Apart from anger and powerlessness, I'm afraid he won't get anything useful!

Qi Miao had already decided to take action herself. She would not only investigate the whole matter thoroughly, but if necessary, she would also ask Zhang Xiaowu to mobilize the entire Underworld Demon Women for help.

Only superpowered beings can deal with superpowered beings.

But how should she tell her brother these words?

Qi Miao didn't know how to start. She really wanted to act like before, occasionally showing her unreasonable and willful personality, but she couldn't make such a gesture in front of her parents' graves.

Qi Shan smiled and said: “Don't worry, brother will take care of everything. Also, the same goes for you. Now that there are only the two of us left in this world, don't keep anything to yourself, brother will help you solve it!”

Qi Miao felt the long-lost warmth, nodded hard, her eyes slightly moist, and her nose sore.

After hesitating for a while, Qi Miao said: “Brother, I want to be alone for a while. Don't worry, I won't go far. I'll be in Anxin Yuan near the school. The environment there is good, and there are my favorite cherry blossoms, and my best friend lives there. I want to stay with her for a while.”

Qi Shan nodded and got up and left slowly.

“No problem, call me if anything happens!”

“I know, you can go to work with peace of mind!”

Looking at Qi Shan's back gradually disappearing into the church, Qi Miao, who had been clenching her small hand, finally couldn't help but burst out with veins.

Purple electric current spread from her heels to her head, and the light bulbs above her head burst one after another. The previously dark pupils had turned into colors like a brilliant starry sky.

Faint light flickered and jumped, rotating like the Milky Way above her head.

“No matter who you are, I will definitely find you and kill you.”

Qi Miao moved suddenly, the ground exploded with a bang, and the whole person streaked across a golden light and shadow like a flame, smashed the ceiling of the church, broke the sound barrier like a missile, and quickly disappeared.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaowu was lying on the sofa in a charming posture. Outside the beaded curtain, the lights were shining and the music was deafening. It was a nightclub where demons danced wildly.

She held a tall wine glass in her hand, and the light red wine was like blood. Her slender fingers were constantly playing with a sharp small curved knife.

This small knife has a simple style and is not too long. The tip of the knife is lightly raised backward, like smoke winding around.

Such a dangerous and irregularly shaped knife was held in Zhang Xiaowu's hand, but it was like a toy, and from time to time, a piece of silver light would flash.

Looking at the dance floor outside where the lights were changing, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly showed a smile: “Not bad, the first shot eliminated two of the three fetters!”

Obviously there was only Zhang Xiaowu in the entire private room, but a low voice came out from behind her.

“Qi Miao is your best sister, is it necessary to go to this extent?”

Zhang Xiaowu played with the dagger and said softly: “You don't understand, weakness is the most basic thing. For us, weakness means death!”

Chop!

The dagger disappeared and instantly penetrated the goblet. The red wine slowly flowed out like blood from a wound, staining the table red.
