Kryptonian: Man of Steel

"This is just the beginning."

Luther had no intention of making a small scene. Next, he planned to make a big scene to make the people of this world realize that the other world and supernatural forces were coming.

It would be easy to catch all the female characters in the plot at that time.

Because of the attack by the slit-mouthed woman, and the words that Shinichiro Busujima said after his memory was rewritten by Luther, Saeko Busujima had been affected and believed it.

But she couldn't do anything now. Her body couldn't move. Even if she wanted to find Luther, she couldn't.

And Luther's eyes were already on Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

For Kasumigaoka Shiyu, the sudden little storm a few days ago was like a casual dust in life, which was gently blown away by the breeze of time, leaving only a few vague traces now.

Although the incident caused quite a stir at the time, compared with the more urgent predicament at hand, those short-term panic and anxiety have become insignificant.

Her novel "Love Metronome", a work that she has poured countless efforts and emotions into, is facing an unprecedented crisis - sales continue to be sluggish, and the warning from the editorial department is like a cold blade hanging over her head, which may announce its end at any time.

This is difficult for Kasumigaoka Shiyu to accept, because for her, "Love Metronome" is like her child.

In order to make "Love Metronome" look better, she has been racking her brains and under great pressure.

In this case, the accident a few days ago was naturally forgotten.

On this day, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was on her way home. She was used to sitting in a cafe after school and typing, usually typing out tens of thousands of words, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a tentacle monster, and she was accompanied by an equally astonishing scrap rate.

Whenever inspiration ran out, facing those unformed words, she would press the delete key without hesitation, and tens of thousands of words of effort would instantly vanish, leaving only a heart full of fatigue and unwillingness.

"Another day of wasted work."

She sighed softly, packed up her laptop and handbag, and prepared to end this day's futile work.

On the way home, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt extremely heavy, and her mind kept replaying the editor's cold and direct words: "If the sales of the next issue don't improve, we may have to consider cutting "Love Metronome" in half."

This sentence was like an invisible shackle, tightly binding her heart and making her almost breathless.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, a sudden sound of water broke the silence around her. The sound was so loud that it seemed as if a giant was rolling under the water, causing the water to stir violently.

Due to the natural curiosity and alertness of human beings, Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped involuntarily and looked in the direction of the sound.

The river surface was as calm as a mirror, and except for the occasional ripples, there was no abnormality.

However, just as she was about to turn around and continue walking, a pale and slender arm suddenly stretched out from the river, and with incredible speed and strength, firmly grasped her neck.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the air seemed to stop flowing.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu only felt a cold chill invade her body along the arm, making her tremble all over, as if she was frozen in place by an invisible force.

She widened her eyes, full of fear and confusion, and could not understand what was happening in front of her.

"Ah!" She screamed in horror, but her voice was quickly strangled in her throat.

The arm was so powerful that it easily lifted her up, as if she was just a light feather.

Her feet kicked in the air, and her hands tightly grasped the fingers of the arm, her nails almost embedded in the flesh, trying to break free from the bondage of death.

But no matter how hard she tried, the hand seemed to be made of steel and did not move at all.

She was horrified to find that she was being slowly dragged toward the river by this arm, which was at least three or four meters away from the river.

The length of the arm far exceeded the limit of human beings, and it showed an abnormal paleness, as if it had been soaked in water for thousands of years and lost all its blood and vitality.

Its skin was covered with fine wrinkles, revealing a creepy and weird feeling.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's breathing became more and more difficult, and the feeling of suffocation made her eyes black. Her brain began to become fuzzy, and her thoughts were like a kite with a broken string, floating around.

At this critical moment of life and death, she suddenly realized that she still had too many unfinished things and too many unspoken words. More importantly, the story of "Love Metronome" was far from over, and she couldn't give up so easily.

But who can come to save her?

Just as she thought about this, a person suddenly appeared.

The man slowly raised his right hand, his movements were elegant and calm, like a master conducting a symphony orchestra.

He flicked his finger gently, and a golden light instantly shot out from his palm, like a flash of lightning that pierced the night sky, illuminating everything around.

This golden light was dazzling, carrying a power that could not be underestimated, making people feel awe.

The golden light drew a graceful arc in the air, with a clear and smooth trajectory, like the lines carefully drawn by a painter. It hit the pale arm that was tightly holding Kasumigaoka Utaha's throat with an unstoppable force.

Kasumigaoka Utaha witnessed the golden light appearing on the other person's hand. At that moment, she seemed to see an invisible sword that cut off the restraint of that arm at lightning speed.

She only felt a huge force freeing her from the restraint of that arm, as if she was lifted up by an invisible huge wave, and then suddenly lost all support, and her body fell down involuntarily.

Because of the loss of balance, she fell from the air, and a strong fear and helplessness surged in her heart.

Fortunately, her feet were not very high from the ground just now, otherwise she would have broken bones. Even so, when she hit the ground heavily, it hurt so much that she almost burst into tears, and a burning pain came from her buttocks, making her scream.

Her body hit the ground heavily, and the mobile phone in her hand flew out due to inertia. The screen shattered instantly in the close contact with the ground, and the fragments splashed everywhere, just like her broken mood at the moment.

Her pantyhose were torn during the fall, revealing an alluring piece of skin, but at this critical moment of life and death, she no longer cared about that.
