"Are you OK?"

Taking his eyes back from the text, Colin looked at Scott who was motionless on the cabin board and expressed concern.

"give me sometime……"

Scott raised his hand and gestured to Colin, panting heavily and said.

"I need to take a good breather. The bump just now made me a little confused."

After a while, after recovering a little, Scott stood up holding on to the wall of the cabin and opened his helmet to reveal his pale face.

"Your body is really tough."

His eyes lingered on Colin's chest for a moment, and Scott pulled the corner of his mouth with a pale smile and said with a reluctant expression.

"It's just a little special ability."

Hearing this, Colin showed a warm smile on his face, pointed at Scott's Ant-Man suit and said, "Just like the suit you are wearing."

I don't think so.

Holding his aching chest, Scott silently replied in his heart.

In the cabin, attracted by the sounds in the corridor, the members of the resistance approached the two people's location.

"You know, buddy, I was just practicing infiltration for our next action."

Hearing the footsteps of Nick Fury and others, Scott quickly asked Colin in front of him.

He didn't want Nick Fury and others to know the process of his fight with Colin, let alone his tragic defeat.

"certainly."

Faced with a [time fragment] like Scott who could automatically deliver it to his door, Colin's attitude was naturally much kinder.

"Thanks, man."

Hearing that Colin was willing to cover for him, Scott breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he listened to the footsteps of Nick Fury and others getting closer and closer. He closed the helmet on his face and shrank his whole body to the size of an ant again.

remind.

"Anthony!"

He looked away from the black spot of Scott's incarnation.

"What happened?"

Hearing Nick Fury's question behind him, Colin pushed up the glasses on his face, then shook his head and replied.

"nothing."

The little episode caused by Scott did not have much impact on everyone's journey.

The next week.

Everyone, including Colin, must spend time inside the Narwhal.

On the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, submarines continue to sail according to their scheduled itineraries.

Colin, on the other hand, paid more attention to the positive world.

…

"Extra number, extra number!"

"The latest issue of "Superman" is out!"

The real world, the streets of New York.

Newsboys waved the latest issue of the Courier and shouted as they walked through the streets of New York.

"Give me a newspaper..."

Inside the double-decker bus, the newsboy's voice was heard.

A passenger quickly took out a two-cent coin, handed it out the window, and bought a copy of the Courier. There were not a few passengers like this in the entire car.

After receiving the newspaper delivered by the newsboy, the double-decker bus parked on the roadside also started to move.

The passenger squeezed into the crowd and opened the Courier in his hand. At the same time, behind him, some guys who were reluctant to ask for money stuck their heads out and looked at the unfolded newspaper.

The latest issue of Superman comics shows the results of previous interactions between readers of The Courier.

The villain Parasite appears. The Parasite was originally a member of the lower class of society. He became a homeless man because he was fired from his job by the bank. In an accident, he found a mysterious storage container in the garbage dump, but unexpectedly the container contained...

Some kind of space parasite (this storage container fell to the earth from outer space). Because the container was opened, the homeless man was infected by the alien parasite and became a terrible parasitic monster.

The homeless man who became a parasitic demon became a terrible monster. Its appearance became very ugly, and its entire face became distorted and deformed. Only its eyes and spitting mouth were left, and it needed to continuously absorb the power of living creatures to maintain itself.

Once you stop absorbing your own life force, you will become extremely painful and weak.

In order to maintain his own vitality, the tramp began to wreak havoc in the metropolis. He first found the bank boss who made him unemployed and absorbed his energy. After absorbing his boss's vitality, the parasitic demon became more powerful.

It began to absorb the vitality of various living creatures crazily.

For a time, the entire metropolis fell into huge chaos.

At the critical moment, Clark appears as Superman.

However, at the beginning, because he did not understand the horror of the parasitic demon, even Superman was absorbed by the opponent's part of his ability and fell into a short-term weakness. Because he obtained part of Superman's power, the parasitic demon became

More dangerous and scary.

At a critical moment, Superman discovered that the parasitic demon would not approach the burning car, and discovered its weakness of fear of heat sources.

The next moment, flames shot out from Superman's eyes, burning the parasite, and successfully saved the metropolis in crisis.

…

The villain, Parasite, has strong characteristics of the Great Depression era.

This is also the reason why Colin chose him as the villain. Even in the serialized comics, Colin deliberately used one frame to depict the environment where the parasitic demon lives. Many readers recognized this place at a glance, as everyone knows

'Hooverville'.

Of course, even if you throw away the background of the parasitic demon.

Looking at his abilities alone, he is indeed a very scary villain.

Especially when they saw it absorbing part of Superman's power and becoming more powerful, many passengers in the double-decker bus also felt excited.

"Superman won't be defeated by the parasitic demon, right?"

In the bus, some passengers who saw this scene expressed worry.

"Impossible, Superman is the protagonist, how could he be defeated so easily."

"That's right, even a powerful magician from the five-dimensional space like Mr. Mxyzptlk (Mr. Troublemaker) is no match for Superman. It's impossible for a guy like Parasite to defeat Superman!"

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you see that the Parasitic Demon, like Superman, is an entity from outer space? Perhaps this means that the Parasitic Demon has the power to defeat Superman."

As the Courier was flipping through the pages in front of them, the discussions among the passengers gradually became louder.

At the same time, even some passengers who were originally standing a little behind couldn't help but debate whether Superman was the opponent of the Parasite Demon.

"Shh, be quiet!"

As he watched, the discussion behind him became louder and louder, affecting his normal reading.

The passenger holding the newspaper couldn't help but frown and turned around and said something.

Seeing the main character open his mouth, the passengers who were reading the comics immediately shut their mouths, fearing that the other party would be unhappy and stop flipping through the newspapers in their hands.
