American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

"That's why I hate this so-called tipping system..."

Seeing Nick Fury put the $5 that should have been his own into his arms, Colin silently complained in his heart.

[Contact the twisted time node and collect a small amount of time fragments × 2]

【Black Iron Mark(11/10)】

【Faith(272/1000)】

Then he glanced at the content displayed on the text, especially the number of [Time Fragments] displayed on the [Black Iron Seal], and then he felt a little comfort in his aching heart.

Thinking about it from another perspective, at least the person who took him on this bus was the "re-employed" Nick Fury and not someone else. Otherwise, he would have only lost forty dollars and had no other gains.

After silently comforting himself in his heart, Colin reached out and pulled the door handle of the rear seat and got out of the taxi.

"By the way, guest."

Watching Colin get out of the car, Nick Fury rolled down the window and handed a note from inside.

"Next time if you have something urgent and want to take a taxi, you can call this number and I can give you a preferential price."

After taking the note from Nick Fury, Colin lowered his head and glanced at the numbers on it, feeling a little subtle in his heart.

Especially when thinking about Nick Fury's identity, this subtle feeling becomes more obvious.

The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has now been reduced to the point where he needs to leave his number to solicit customers.

Of course, this kind of pity only existed in Colin's heart for a few seconds before it was immediately extinguished. After all, this 'poor' former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had just taken away his $35 fare and $5.

The tip, especially the $5 tip, made Colin feel a little painful in his heart when he thought about it.

"Then, be careful on the road, my guest. Goodbye."

After sending out the note with the number on it, Nick Fury rolled up the window, nodded to Colin outside the car, stepped on the clutch and drove the taxi forward.

If possible, I hope this is the last time we meet. After all, my wallet can't bear such damage.

Watching the taxi leave, Colin wanted to curse in his heart, but the next second the expression on his face suddenly froze.

As Nick Fury opened the car window, Colin saw that quietly placed on his passenger seat was a large windbreaker, the shape of which was similar to the one he had seen in the thick fog before.

same.

So, Nick Fury once appeared at the explosion site!

He was not what he said, he was just driving a taxi past the explosion site...

But he came out of the explosion site!

But why did Nick Fury appear at the explosion site? Was he the culprit behind the explosion?

Songbird did mention that the criminal who caused the explosion fled the scene. Unfortunately, Colin didn't have much thought at all in the interview at the time, nor did he write much about this issue.

Of course, the more important thing is that judging from the attitude shown by several members of the Thunder Agents, even if Colin asked about the details of the explosion, they would most likely be vague or simply refuse to answer.

Looking down at the piece of paper with the number written on it in his hand, Colin's heart suddenly became extremely complicated.

The water in the counter-world is much deeper than he originally thought.

…

【Black Iron Mark(11/10)】

"Finally the collection is completed."

Hold on to your inner emotions and return home.

Colin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the [Time Fragments] marked Nick Fury in the text.

To be honest, even Colin himself did not expect that the last two [Time Fragments] would be obtained in this way. In fact, he had already planned to run news about Thunder Agents for a long time, or simply go to "

The former boss of the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson, plans to obtain the last piece of [Time Shard].

Looking away from Nick Fury's two broken [Time Shards], Colin could vaguely see Nick Fury wearing a black windbreaker and fighting with a gun on the flashing surface of the fragments.

The look on the taxi just now is more in line with Colin's inner impression of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Next, it’s the last step.

Shaking his head and sweeping away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Colin looked at the text (11/10) and took a silent breath.

As his thoughts floated, the words in his eyes began to flicker.

During this period of time, the [Time Fragments] collected by Colin began to emit a faint metallic luster, wrapped in countless green lights.

As the metallic luster emerged, the back of Colin's hand suddenly felt hot, as if someone was holding a red soldering iron and severely branding the back of his hand.

"ah!"

The sudden scorching heat made Colin couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

However, before the pain spread, a cool feeling enveloped the back of his hand in the next second.

Under the contrast between hot and cold, the original scream in Colin's mouth turned into some kind of comfortable moan.

"So, this is the function of [Time Shards]?"

In the room, looking at the black metallic luster and ever-changing marks on the back of his hand, the look in Colin's eyes flashed slightly.

By trying the [Black Iron Mark] on his opponent's back, Colin has basically understood the function of the mark.

To be precise, the mark that Colin currently has is not complete.

At the moment, he has only completed the first half of the step, which is the finalization of the mark. He synthesized the outline of the mark by contacting the 10 [Time Fragments] collected from the [Distorted Time Nodes]. And if he wants to fully exert the power of the mark

To gain the ability, you also need to invest the will of [faith] into the blank [Black Iron Seal] in front of you, so as to condense the pattern representing power.

This process reminded Colin of the original birth form of primitive religion, which originated from all things in nature.

Primitive people turned all things in nature into totems and believed in them to protect themselves.

However, today is not a primitive society after all, and the [beliefs] I have collected so far are not as pure as they were in the past.

His eyes fell on the text, the number representing [Faith (272/1000)], and the brows on Colin's face couldn't help but frown.

Before, when he didn't understand the specific situation of the mark, he just regarded [Faith] as a simple number and didn't think too much about it. Now looking back, the 272 points of [Faith] represented in the text are obviously

It's not something to be happy about.

The vast majority of these 272 [beliefs] come from newspaper sales in the real world, and the newspaper content published by the Courier in the past few weeks has either been criticizing Hoover, or is criticizing Hoover again.

.

It's hard for Colin to imagine what the pattern will look like after he collects enough [Faith] numbers and puts them into the mark.
