Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 40 Super Listening
[Ability - Super Hearing (Black Iron)]

[Ability description: At first, Superman could only hear the sounds near him. With the development of the comics, he has the ability to hear the sounds of anything and anywhere within ten kilometers. 】

In the next few days, Ke Lin adjusted to his new life in the base.

On the one hand, through the comics serialized in the world, another superman's ability was unlocked.

【Super Hearing】

The reason for choosing this ability as the unlocking object.

It's not that Colin doesn't trust Howard and others who saved him from Ultron's pursuit, but because of his anxiety about the anti-world [distorted time node].

As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

The existence of [Super Hearing] can help Colin avoid some dangers well. Even if he can't prevent them before they happen, it can also allow him to respond to dangers in advance. After all, the one that happened at high altitude before Chasing, he has not forgotten.

Thinking of Colin, he looked away from the text in front of him.

Thinking silently in his heart, he unfolded the ability of [Super Hearing].

"...You should rest, Howard, you have been in front of the console all day..."

"Sorry, Adeline...I should have been there...in fact, Jacques has always wanted to be able to tell you that he has always loved you and is proud of you..."

"...Metropolitan General Hospital, a patient named Johnson suffered a serious medical accident, the well-known surgeon Stephen Strange will be responsible for this accident..."

"It is reported that this is not the first time Stephen Strange has caused a medical accident. Not long ago, he fainted in the emergency room and almost caused the patient on the operating table..."

"...According to the latest news from Bloomberg, The New York Times and other media, in the evening local time, after the initial vote count lagged significantly...the female candidate for mayor of the Democratic Party announced her defeat..."

"However, the exact results of the New York City mayoral election will have to wait for a while before the winner of this election will emerge... and according to the current vote situation, Wilson Fisk, a businessman, is likely to become the The new mayor of New York City..."

"Stop buddy, take out all your things..."

"Don't move, don't move at all!"

"Report, report, there is a shooting incident near Fifth Avenue, if you hear the police car, please go to..."

It's the same as Superman who first awakened his abilities.

Colin, who used [Super Hearing] for the first time, also couldn't perfectly control the range of listening objects.

A lot of noisy and chaotic voices poured into Colin's ears, making his brain go blank.

Among these sounds, there are purely meaningless noises, or the roar of cars, or the growing and moving steps of animals and plants. The scope of [Super Hearing]'s ability is not limited to conversations, but includes everything.The content formed by the gathering of countless voices spread out at the same time.

Colin only felt that his blood vessels were constantly beating, and there was a constant buzzing in his mind, which made him unable to concentrate.

"Calm down, focus, ignore these voices..."

In the base room, Colin covered his ears and kept forcing himself to calm down.

With the shouting in his heart, Colin's broken thoughts gradually condensed, and he concentrated his energy on the words in front of him.

"……Finish!"

Turn off [Super Hearing].

"..."

The original noisy voice immediately dissipated. Sitting in the temporary residence, Colin took a deep breath.

Feeling this hard-won 'calm' time.

In this way, after more than ten minutes of silence, Ke Lin, who gradually came to his senses, returned his gaze to the [Black Iron Mark] on the back of his hand.

Although, the experience of using [Super Hearing] for the first time was terrible.

However, Ke Lin didn't stop there. He still understood the reason why he gave up eating because of choking.

[Super Hearing] As a standard ability of Superman, it naturally has its advantages. The reason why the scene just happened was only because he was not familiar with this ability.

"Concentrate on listening to one sound at a time."

Silently admonishing himself, Ke Lin looked at the note [Super Hearing] in the imprint.

Taking a deep breath, I carefully unfolded this ability again
"Buzzing..." "Why, why you..." "Boom, boom—" "Honey, do you know... Gay marriage is legal..." "Tick, tick..." "Husband, I With..." "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Turn on [Super Hearing] again, and various noisy and harsh sounds come as expected.

However, this time, Colin, who was mentally prepared, did not shrink back.

In the temporary residence, he clenched his fists, shook his head, and gritted his teeth to endure all this.

Close your eyes and focus everything on your hearing. As your vision darkens, the sound in your ears seems to be amplified a bit, and it begins to penetrate into Colin's cochlea from all directions.

"... Has the investigation been clear?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem..."

Gradually, the noisy voices began to become simpler, and the various chaotic voices that were originally mixed together were gradually eliminated, leaving only the part that Colin wanted to hear the most.

At the same time, a streak of bright red blood flowed from his nose, but he didn't notice it.

"... Colin Luper, a reporter for the "Daily Horn", has been working for the newspaper since graduation... Not long ago, he was hospitalized due to an accidental robbery... Before that, he didn't show any special features... …Until not long ago, when I was flying, I was discovered by the barrier..."

"In other words, he didn't have any abnormalities before this? Since he has the ability to fly, why was he injured in the robbery before..."

"His ability should have just been acquired not long ago..."

"What about Thunderbolt?"

"So far, there haven't been any obvious internal actions. It seems that there is no connection between the two... The only thing that can be said to be in contact is the robbery incident of the other party. Ke Cage rescued him, and then he had brief contact with several other members of the secret service team during the interview... As for the others, na..."

buzz, buzz—

The buzzing sound in the ear once again covered up the conversation.

This is already the limit of what Colin can hear, and his ears are obviously almost unable to hold on.

Thinking of this, Ke Lin decisively ended the use of [Super Hearing].

While rubbing his throbbing and aching ears, he reached out to wipe off the blood under his nose.
