Chapter 41 Metropolis

"Clark! Someone is looking for you!"

Hearing this call, a man immediately stood up in the busy office of Planet Daily. When he stood up, a pile of books on his desk was knocked off.

The man wearing glasses hurriedly bent down to pick up the book: "Wait! I'll be ready right here!"

"...Let me help you." The man who told Clark the news came over helplessly and took the opportunity to gossip, "Do you know who came to you? He looks like a model!"

Clark adjusted his glasses: "It should be my mother's friend's child...it's okay, I can just come by myself, and I'll be fine soon..."

A few days ago, Clark Kent received a call from his parents in Kansas, telling him that a child was coming to him in the next few days. The child was unaccompanied and lacked common sense, and he asked him to take care of it.

"He looks a lot like you, Clark," his mother, Martha, said. "I think you two will get along very well."

What exactly does this so-called similarity mean?

Clark couldn't help but think about this these days.

It's definitely not because in the eyes of his mother, he is actually a person who lacks common sense, it should be something else.

Although Clark could hear the sounds in his own home in Kansas to understand the situation whenever he wanted to, but out of respect for personal privacy, he did not listen at all times. Basically, he would only pay attention when the key words were touched.

, and although his mother and father mentioned his name when they were talking in the past few days, because he heard their heartbeats were steady and there seemed to be no danger, he stopped listening to the conversation carefully.

It wasn't until he got a phone call from home that Clark roughly understood that it was probably his name he had mentioned when explaining to the child who was coming to find him.

...Because they know that he is different from ordinary people, the family should theoretically not choose to let him take care of others. So this person may be...somewhat different?

After briefly tidying up, Clark quickly ran downstairs, and then saw the person who came to see him at the door of the Daily Planet building.

It was a tall, thin man. He wore a hat on his head, which was pressed down on his white hair. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans that didn't fit very well, and he casually put on an old-fashioned leather jacket.

Clark recalled that the jacket seemed to belong to his father - he was standing by the street light at the door with his head lowered. When he heard someone coming downstairs, he looked up and looked at Clark.

Clark instantly understood why some people thought he was a model.

It's a bit difficult to judge the age of this person, but judging from his appearance, he is very young, between young and teenage. His appearance is almost sharp and handsome, and his eyes are a very beautiful blue-green color.

When these eyes are sunk in shadow, they will give off an almost cold feeling because of the cold look, which makes people feel that he is actually very mature.

The outstanding appearance coupled with this old-fashioned dress made many people passing by look sideways, but he seemed completely unaffected. He just stood there tall and straight. Clark could see that the other person was in a very relaxed state.

"Hello, I am Clark, Clark Kent." After their eyes met, Clark quickly stepped forward, ready to shake hands, "You are... Karna, right?"

Obviously this person seems to be difficult to get along with, but for some reason, Clark has an unreasonable affection for him, and feels that this person makes him feel very comfortable... If I have to describe it, it's probably like when he is basking in the sun.

That feeling of safety, warmth and comfort.

"Yes, I am Karna." Karna said, and then slowly raised his hand to hold Clark's hand, completing the meeting etiquette.

Clark shook his hand and let go: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were arriving today. I'm going to ask for leave from Perry now -"

"No need to bother, work is important." Karna glanced at the Daily Planet building. The sound coming from the open window was enough to let people know how busy it was inside. "I just fulfilled Martha's wish. She wanted me to come to you.

, in fact, I can completely live on my own.”

Clark was stunned for a moment, but still said: "But my mother asked me to take care of you... No matter what, at least make sure where you live, right?"

The other party was silent for a few seconds and then said: "There will be a place to live."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that this was Clark who was still unaccounted for: "...How much money do you have on you?"

When he asked this question, in order to prevent the other party from being too strong and causing him to make wrong judgments, Clark had already opened a X-ray and looked through the pockets of Karna's clothes and pants... There was indeed some money, which was probably given to him by his parents.

, although I can stay in a cheap hotel for three or four days, but does Karna have to eat or drink?

"That's enough," Karna replied, "I can make money."

Clark recalled Martha's "lack of common sense" comment to him, and was full of doubts about it, but did not dare to show it: "Is...is it?"

"Yes." Karna said seriously.

Clark thought about it but still felt uneasy: "At least let me help you get familiar with Metropolis today, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Martha."

After reaching a consensus, Clark went up to ask for leave and pick up some things. As a result, after a while, when he came down again, there was a stranger beside Karna. The man handed Karna a business card and said:

Said: "...You can check our company! It is definitely not a scam company! Your conditions are very good. If you want to become famous..."

Before Clark could decide whether this person was a talent scout or a liar, he heard Karna say: "Sorry, I don't want to be famous."

"Why? You young people—"

"I'm not a young person either."

"..."

Clark coughed and looked at the man who asked, "Is it necessary to tell such an obvious lie just because you refuse?", and smoothed things over: "I'm sorry, our family doesn't really like this kind of work..."

The man showed a questioning expression: "Are you a family? They don't look alike at all! He doesn't even look like an American - speaking of which country are you from?"

Karna mused: "India."

man:"……"

Clark: "..."

"Family?" the man repeated in a strange tone.

Clark coughed again: "Well... we still have to leave first..."

He took Karna away for more than ten meters before letting go of his hand on his arm. Clark felt a little surprised. Karna looked thin, but in fact he probably just didn't show muscles. He was not as strong as he seemed on the surface.

Very easy to bully.

Clark looked up and looked around the nearby stores: "...You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat something first."

So Clark took Karna to a fast food restaurant and sat down, planning to chat while eating.

He started with a lighter topic, such as Karna's experience of taking a train to the metropolis... However, just as he was about to get to the point, he found out how an Indian met his family and asked his family to give him instructions.

While caring for the other party, his super hearing allowed him to hear many people shouting for help - there was a car accident on the elevated highway, a car had smashed the railing and was hanging on the edge, and he would fall if he didn't get over.

So Clark stood up immediately: "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom!"

On the TV in the fast food restaurant, the news happened to be on the line. Amid the exclamations of everyone, a red figure flew over quickly, then stopped next to the vehicle, and easily lifted the bus with dozens of passengers on it.

car and put it back on the viaduct smoothly.

"It's Superman! Superman is here to save them!" The footage from the scene captured Superman's appearance extremely clearly.

People in the fast food restaurant who were paying attention to the accident also cheered, and then some people began to discuss Superman in twos and threes with excitement.

Superman calmed the frightened people with a few words and then flew away from the scene. After Superman left the camera, Qiye also took his eyes away from the TV and returned it to the French fries in front of him.

He had better use the Karna card to the end this time and not switch anything else...otherwise he always feels that Superman will see through it.

Thinking of this, Qiye couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart.

In the past, he would choose the heroic spirit card to use after arriving in the new world according to the situation, but this time he chose Karna's card, which was really not what he expected. It can only be said to be a helpless move out of desperation.

Why this happened, we have to start talking about it when he first arrived in this world. In the past, every new world he went to, the Jinjiang system would put him in an unmonitored corner, but this time I don’t know what happened.

What's wrong...

The system actually dropped him in mid-air!!!

When he came back to his senses, he was already falling crazily. The wind was so strong that he almost couldn't breathe. He could only quickly find someone with strong defense or simply the ability to fly in the Heroic Spirit Card he owned to transform. Because

Seeing the ground getting closer and closer, Qiye didn't have time to make a careful choice, so he thought of Karna and used it directly.

 

In that situation, Karna was really a very good choice. First of all, Karna can fly, and secondly, the golden armor on Karna can weaken the power of physical attacks, curses and other hostile interference to ten

First, Qiye believes that even if his synchronization rate does not rise to the level where he can control flight, this armor can definitely protect him from being thrown to death!

Then, as expected, the time was too short and he had no time to increase the synchronization rate, so he directly fell into a pit on the ground.

Qiye stood up while hoping that there would be no one here, but found that her shocking appearance in strange clothes seemed to be completely noticed by a couple not far away.

What surprised Qiye was that the couple seemed to be very receptive. After a few simple exchanges, they confirmed that he had no ill intentions, and then directly invited him to their home for tea.

Qiye couldn't help but warn: "...Thank you very much, but I think you need to be more vigilant."

"People who can say such things don't need to be wary."

The hospitality was hard to refuse, so Qi Ye went as a guest as usual. At the dinner table, he saw a photo of a couple and a young man. The woman introduced: "That's our son, Clark."

Seven nights:"………………"

He finally knew why they were so calm when they saw him falling from the sky...it turned out that their son was Superman!!!

To be honest, Qiye felt a little sore. He wasn't sure if there was a Batman in this world, and even if there was, whether this world was the one he just said goodbye to... But if it was... didn't he just say goodbye to them?

Just fell into the same world again?

It's too dense, and there are some other problems. I always feel that Batman will be suspicious. He should not use heroic spirits as an excuse this time... Fortunately, there are no heroic spirits in this world that he needs to recover, as long as he finds the Holy Grail fragments.

Yes, this gives him a lot more room for maneuver.

But when it comes to changing the Heroic Spirit Card... The Kents have already planned to introduce him to Superman, and it feels like it's too late to change it now... And if you think about it carefully, Karna, the son of the sun, should have a good compatibility with Superman, and their fighting ability is very good.

It’s also high, and there’s really no need to change cards.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the actor Qiye made up a new excuse for himself, waiting to throw out the new reason if anyone asked.

But before that, he must make all preparations, such as finding a place to secretly change back to his original appearance, and then drink some of the age-enhancing medicine he got from Paracelsus before, so that the age of Qiye's body will be generated.

The change will also affect his apparent age after transformation. After that, he will look like Karna. Even Batman will not be suspicious of Robin Hood because of his age.

Since Qiye took the medicine little by little, the Kents only thought that he had grown taller and had no other ideas. When he felt that there was no problem, he set off to find Superman - he felt that there was no news about the Holy Grail fragment anyway.

It's better to stay near Superman and wait and see. After all, the probability of Superman encountering an incident is too high. If the Holy Grail fragment causes something, the possibility of it happening near Superman may also be quite high.

You see, less than an hour after he met Clark, Superman encountered an incident. Qiye was really convinced.

Qiye was eating French fries and started counting from the news that Superman had left. Before he could count to 20, Clark appeared in a hurry.

"Sorry for the long wait." Clark habitually pretended to be clumsy and pulled up the chair, "I..."

"It doesn't matter." Qiye nodded, "Saving people is important."

Clark was in a daze for a moment. He always felt that this tone sounded familiar, as if he had just said "work is important"...wait, what about saving people?!

The super brain started to operate. Clark pretended to be a little confused and asked with a smile: "What did you say?"

"I just saw you on TV."

Clark looked at the other person's expression carefully and made sure that the other person really thought so and was not testing him for anything. He couldn't help but asked in disbelief: "How did you see that? Did my parents tell you?"

This is of course impossible, Clark knew very well that his parents were even more nervous about protecting his identity than he was himself, but other than this reason, he couldn't think of any reason why the person he met for the first time could know his identity.

Qiye glanced at him: "Why can't you see it? You just took off your glasses and changed your clothes."

Clark Kent: "………………"

Clark Kent: "Wait a minute, I think I need to call my family."

——Mom! Who did you introduce to me!!!
