Chapter 324 The Legend of the Mysterious Man

"Has that guy appeared in Smallville before?"

Lex Luthor looked at the road ahead with an inexplicable strangeness in his eyes and asked casually.

He also saw what happened before, but he only saw the second half. He was not aware of Jerome's attack on the students, but this did not prevent him from being smart enough to guess what happened, and his focus was not on the development of the incident, but on the outcome of it all.

Jerome, who burst out with such terrifying electrical energy, was caught in one hand by the mysterious man whose face could not be seen.

In Lex Luthor's opinion, that guy was even stronger than Clark, who had survived the impact of his high-speed car without any injury.

This aroused his great interest!

"No! Before this, I have never heard of him, or even seen him. I guess the whole town of Smallville will be excited about this tomorrow..."

Clark's eyes were a little complicated. He didn't know what the beginning of such a thing meant, but he had a vague feeling that the peaceful times would never come back.

"Ha! I didn't expect to see so many interesting things when I returned to Smallville this time. Maybe we can follow these things closely. What do you think, Clark?"

Lex Luthor chuckled, offering Clark an olive branch.

"I just want to live a peaceful life..."

Clark shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, but if you have any clues, please let me know."

Looking at Clark's determined expression, Lex Luthor did not force him. His relationship with Clark was not yet at that level.

As the sports car drove to the farm outside Clark's home, Lex Luthor parked the car on the ridge outside Clark's corn and rice fields.

"Clark, I won't take you back on the road. You know, your father seems to have some special prejudice against me!"

Lex Luthor spread out his palms and said innocently.

"Okay, thank you! Luther!"

Clark thanked him sincerely, and after getting off the car, he walked straight to his home without stopping.

Too many things happened tonight, which made him feel uneasy, and he wanted to go home quickly.

He first looked at Clark's departing figure, then glanced around. Everything was quiet. Thoughts came one after another in his mind, and Lex Luthor looked up at the starry sky.

"who are you……"

The murmuring sound echoed on the ridges of the fields.

……

Three thousand meters above the sky.

Lin Jue's body was suspended in mid-air, with a smile on his lips, feeling the new and strange power in his body.

Azure arcs of electricity flowed through his body and floated to the surface along with his thoughts. One hand lay limp in front of him, and a large group of blue arcs quickly entangled together.

Artificially creating ball lightning!
With a gentle toss, the ball of lightning jumped above Lin Jue's palm.

"Haha, this ability is really great. It's a huge boost for Jerome. After being combined with my Apocalypse ability, he seems to be far more flexible and powerful than Jerome showed in the series!"

Catching the ball lightning in his hand, the numbing feeling caused by the electric shock disappeared, and Lin Jue only felt as if he was holding a spherical object emitting high temperature.

With a clench of his palms, the spherical lightning compressed rapidly and finally disappeared at his fingertips.

Feeling the power in his body that had expanded slightly compared to the previous day, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Jue's eyes.

He did not deliberately act to strengthen the influence of his concept, but after dealing with Jerome, he found that the ability he exposed, that is, the ability related to the God of Mutants, had been slightly improved!
In his memory, Clark's dejected face flashed by.

Is it because of Dachao? Just saving him in disguise has brought me such a significant improvement?
Lin Jue's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly had some other ideas.

……

The early morning sunshine spread out gently like a canvas, sprinkling on the vast corn and rice fields. Every leaf seemed to be emitting golden light and floating in the breeze. The beauty of life seemed to be no more than this.

However, today, the residents of the small town of Smallville are not in as good a mood as usual.

A man carrying "weapons of mass destruction" almost hurt their children last night. A mysterious man fell from the sky and subdued him. He finally left in a hurry under the hail of bullets from the police officers.

Anyone would be shocked by this, as if they were listening to some magical story.

But when these residents who did not believe what happened last night came to the bulletin board in the town of Smallville and saw the warning words printed with the police station seal, everyone was completely stunned.

"So, there really was a guy who could shoot lightning and attacked the town's high school gymnasium last night? Oh my God, was that guy Thor? It's too outrageous to control lightning?" An old man wearing a plaid shirt and with a scruffy beard screamed.

"Ha, that's actually nothing. I just came back from the hospital. That guy is now locked up in the hospital. After examination, it seems that his body can no longer generate electricity. I doubt whether those people are hiding something."

"It's unclear what they're hiding, but my son told me last night that a man knocked that guy down, and then flew away directly through the hole above the gymnasium!"

"My God, what are you talking about? Am I listening to a magic story?"

As more and more people gathered at the notification board, some people who didn't know the truth even suspected that there was another developer similar to the Luther Family who wanted to develop a project in their town and spread false information to intimidate them into handing over their fields!

"Clark, are you feeling better now?"

Pete suddenly jumped up from behind Clark and slapped his friend hard, waking Clark who was in a daze.

"Ah, Pete... I'm fine. I remember you seemed to have received a severe electric shock last night. How are you?"

"Ah... How can it be okay? I still feel a tingling sensation in my body, and the hand that touched you last night still hurts a little!"

Pete's eyes widened, and he looked up and down at Clark in surprise, as if he was curious whether the guy in front of him was the big fool he used to know?
"Alright! Pete, it's okay as long as you're alright. We should now pay more attention to that guy from last night!"

Chloe ran quickly to the two of them and said excitedly. She seemed to have thought of something and rummaged through her backpack. Soon, she took out pieces of paper with portraits printed on them.

"Last night I specifically checked the information I had collected before. Ever since the meteorite fell from the sky in our town, some people seem to have shown some peculiarities. I focused on comparing them. What did you find out?"

"what happened?"

Pete and Clark said almost in unison, with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

"It turns out those guys are completely different in size from the guy last night!"

"..."

Pete touched his forehead, which looked dark and shiny because of the sunlight, and said helplessly: "Chloe, so you still haven't found anything!"

"That's the theory... No! It's not like I didn't find any clues!"

Chloe quickly added: "It also rules out the identities of those people. At least the guy we suspect right now is not the one from last night!"

"You're crazy! Chloe, maybe he's hiding himself on purpose and doesn't want you to know his identity. If you investigate him like this, be careful that he might murder you!"

Pete pulled the corner of his mouth with his little finger and hooked his eyelid with his thumb, making a face and threatening.

"Tsk! Didn't you see it last night? That mysterious man is not even on the same level as Jerome. If he really wanted to hurt us, he would have done it long ago! You know, those stupid police officers shot him directly!"

Chloe curled her lips and disagreed with Pete's idea.

As for Clark on the other side, he didn't have much feeling in his heart while listening to the discussion between his friends. Compared with exploring the identity of the mysterious man, he felt that as long as everyone was safe and sound, it would be fine.

Thinking this in his mind, Clark kept walking and strode towards the school.

Pete and Chloe on the side also quickly stopped the quarrel and rushed over.

"Although that guy wrapped himself up very tightly last night, I still found some of his secrets!"

Chloe said excitedly, but at this time, Pete and Clark were obviously not interested in the "Duanrui" she might find.

Tsk, how can you people who are fat and don't pay attention to your body shape understand?

Chloe's eyes sparkled, the scene of last night was still vivid in her mind. Although the mysterious man wrapped herself tightly, it was precisely because he was wrapped too tightly that Chloe could not forget his tall figure with a wide upper body and a narrow lower body.

Soon, they arrived at the school, and as expected, the students in the school were discussing the identity of the mysterious man last night.

The outgoing Pete quickly greeted a few new friends. Chloe glanced around casually. She wanted to hear the opinions of the students around her, but she didn't feel comfortable fitting in and discussing with them.

Buzz buzz buzz——

The loudest roar was heard on the lawn outside the school campus, attracting the attention of some students. When they saw Lin Jue getting off the plane, they were secretly surprised.

Under normal circumstances, Chloe might not be able to help but run over to say hello to Lin Jue, but right now most of her thoughts are still on what happened last night.

He just casually glanced at Lin Jue who walked out of the helicopter, and continued thinking about his own things.

However, two seconds after her gaze passed by, Chloe's pupils contracted sharply, and she turned her head abruptly, staring straight at Lin Jue's approaching figure.

The tall and straight figure, and the aura that made her heart beat faster...
