Chapter 23 No one can hinder me

Whoops!

In the afternoon, the weather was a bit gloomy, and a cold wind blew low through the streets of the town.

Mother Martha went shopping, and Clark and David followed to help pick up the groceries.

There was a sign that it was going to rain, and pedestrians walked in a hurry in the town.

As soon as he put two large buckets of discounted laundry detergent from the supermarket into the car, Clark's eyes were dazzled. The surrounding scene seemed to have entered the world of a silent film, turning into black and white. The people walking on the street were no longer individual residents, but skeletons. .

A woman carrying a vegetable basket casually passed by, and Clark was helpless and made a evasive gesture.

David knew that his super vision was uncontrollably activated again: "Control your talent with your heart, don't be afraid or resist."

Zod had just arrived on Earth and been exposed to the sun's rays. Within a minute, he had adapted to various abilities that suddenly appeared, although they were related to him being a well-trained elite warrior.

But he is also a Kryptonian, and Zod does not have as many organs or legs as Superman, and his potential is not as good as his.

"Think about it before gym class and why you can keep manipulating it."

Looking at Clark with a distressed face, David suspected that this was related to Clark's mental state.

He resisted his ability to emerge, which made him seem like an alien, constantly reminding him that he was an alien, and his talents sometimes failed.

"I……"

Clark was about to speak when suddenly a strange skeleton appeared in his sight not far away, which attracted his attention.

The other figures were X-rayed, in black and white, but the skeleton actually showed green fluorescence, like...

"Meteorite?"

This reminded Clark of something that had made him suffer many losses.

I don't know why, but those meteorites came to the earth with him, but they are his nemesis, making him feel weak when they get close to them.

"What's wrong, Clark, happened again?"

Martha walked out of the supermarket and saw that her eldest son was not in a good state, so she proposed to go home immediately: "Let's go home."

"No, I'm fine."

Seeing the green skeleton walking into a small shop on the street, Clark shook his head, took a deep breath and tried to control it. After two seconds, he actually turned off his ability.

"David's right, I can do it as long as I don't fight it!"

He was happy, but when he looked at his calm brother, he felt frustrated.

The talent is obviously his, but his younger brother knows the ropes better than he does.

This comes as no surprise to David.

"As we all know, Superman is a somewhat idealistic creature."

Martha was pleased that her eldest son was showing signs of being able to master his new abilities without having to worry about problems.

"Mom, didn't you just say you were going to an antique store?"

Clark just saw the green skeleton walking into the antique shop on the street.

"The lamp in our bedroom is broken. Let your Aunt Catherine help fix it."

After walking a few steps, Martha led her two sons into a shabby antique shop on the street.

jingle.

The door opened and the welcome bell rang.

There is a dazzling array of items on display. Porcelain and corner products are listed in glass cabinets. Oil paintings, antique wall clocks and colorful embroidery pictures are hung on the walls.

There are also some palm-sized statues with strong ancient African tribal styles placed casually in the corners...

Said it was an antique shop.

David looked around and wondered if there were any real antiques inside.

An antique shop that had been reduced to repairing appliances, he couldn't say.

"Mostly stuff from last week."

"Kent girl... I mean Martha, how are you doing?"

Catherine walked out of the back of the store with nimble steps, nervousness flashing in her eyes, and a ritualistic smile on her face.

"How's business?"

Martha did not doubt it, after all, it was the Catherine she was familiar with. Her eyes, nose, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were exactly the same.

"not bad."

"I'll get the lamp." After chatting for a while, Martha smiled and got down to business.

"desk lamp?"

Catherine wondered.

Clark secretly wanted to open up that special perspective again.

I tried my best to control the muscles in the corners of my eyes, but finally succeeded after seven or eight seconds.

Behind the counter in front of you is a flesh and blood skeleton emitting meteorite fluorescence.

"But...why are you so much shorter?"

The skeleton was different from the one he saw just now. She was still a young woman just now, but now she has a stooped figure.

"Could there be two of them?"

I remember that Aunt Catherine's daughter Tina also attended the small town high school, but she was not in the same class as me.

"The mahogany lamp that Jonathan broke."

After Martha’s explanation, ‘Catherine’ seemed to finally remember, and turned around and walked into the house to get it.

"What is the taste."

David sniffed, and a faint smell penetrated his nose.

Clark also smelled it and found nothing.

In addition to super hearing and vision, Kryptonians also have other senses far beyond those of ordinary people. He may not have awakened yet.

As an ordinary person, Martha didn't even notice anything.

"Sorry, Martha, let me check. The lamp hasn't been repaired yet. Can you come back next week?"

‘Catherine’ came out with an apology on her face.

"certainly."

Martha, who was always talkative, chuckled.

She turned around to leave with her two sons, when suddenly a wad of money was exposed under a cabinet near the stairs.

Bend down and pick it up.

"This is?"

"Thank you Martha, I was such a fool."

Seeing the pile of money, Catherine hurriedly put it away, her tone slightly stiff.

"A customer paid cash. I looked for it all day, and it turned out to be here."

"You're welcome, this is not a small amount of money, Catherine, you have to keep it."

Martha's eyes flashed with uneasiness and she smiled.

After admonishing, he took his two sons and left quickly.

After leaving the antique store and walking on the street, Martha whispered.

“That wad of money had a Town Savings and Loan strap on it.”

Just after the small town bank was robbed, a stack of $10,000 from the bank appeared in Catherine's store. This is hard not to make people think of it.

"Catherine said it was paid by customers, but we all know that her antique shop has not been open for a long time..."

"I don't think Aunt Catherine's family is in a position to throw away ten thousand dollars."

When David noticed the pile of money, 'Catherine' had panic on her face.

"The person who robbed the money is probably related to her."

"I saw it too."

Clark said as he looked back at the antique store and saw a surprising sight.

In the antique shop, a hunched figure's frame seemed to be stretched, his chest and back straightened, and he became what he had seen before.

And most importantly, a female body was placed in a standing cabinet in the store.

Aging, rickets, the heart no longer beats, and the blood has coagulated.

"I don't think it's Aunt Catherine we're seeing." He opened his mouth.

"Who is that?" Martha wondered.

"I don't know, but..." Clark revealed his discovery.

Someone she has known for many years may be dead, and the body was just behind her.

Martha was a little frightened and decided to go home first and discuss with her husband Jonathan how to solve the problem.

Even if her eldest son has abilities beyond ordinary people, she doesn't want her son to be easily involved in this matter.

After closing the door, Tina's skin and flesh flowed like plasticine and returned to her original appearance.

Thinking of Martha's unnatural look when she found the money just now, she put up the temporary break sign with an expressionless face, and a cold voice sounded in the store.

"No one can prevent me from being happy!"
