The Time Controller of American Comics

Chapter 5 I just want to plant some land



"Ethan, tell me what's going on."

"this and that"

The curly-haired white boy was a little timid when faced with the three-chamber trial. After all, tutoring in any country in this era was very strict. And they also knew that the farm owner's child fainted was particularly important in the eyes of these adults. After all, it was related to work issues.

In fact, strictly speaking, these workers are not farm workers. The so-called busy season of the year for farms is spring planting and autumn harvesting. Faced with the threat of cold winter in the fall, the harvest must be handled before frost. Nebraska is a remote state. In the northern region, there is a long winter and only one harvest a year.

Therefore, these workers usually receive high wages during the busy farming season and go to the town to do some chores in summer and winter.

"Tell the truth, don't hesitate."

"The strong wind overturned the wooden planks on the roof, and Green was hit by the wooden planks. But when we opened the planks and tried to rescue Green, we found that there was no Green inside. He actually appeared very far away at that moment. Under the tree"

"Nonsense, what the hell are you talking about, Hans?"

The white kid said hesitantly, which made these adults feel that they were lying to avoid responsibility. After all, Green who should have appeared under the wooden board suddenly appeared hundreds of meters away. This was obviously made up. What nonsense, how can these adults with social experience believe it?

In all likelihood, it was these children who pushed Jonathan down and caused him to fall into a coma. At least this is what the adults who looked at the hesitant appearance of these little brats thought at this time.

An old man in his fifties who looked like a half-leader of the workers held a cigarette in his mouth and pointed at the relatively honest little fat man, trying to get some useful information out of him.

"That's right, Green was pressed under the board. He should have almost been pressed under the board. Then the next second Green suddenly appeared under the big tree very far away. We were all scared at the time. "

"Yes, yes, Green is so amazing. He can actually reach such a long distance all at once."

One or two said this, and all these children said this, which had to make these adults suspicious. The myths and stories of the older generation were still vivid in their minds, and the alien legends of the past were also swirling in their ears. This world was originally A world full of disasters and capable people.

In this world framework, these adults were obviously murmuring because of their unanimous confessions. Jonathan has not cried since the day he was born. He has been reading world famous books and studying high school and college knowledge since he was five years old. They asked who in the world could do this. In their minds, Jonathan might be a freak.

What's more, that big wooden board was indeed blown down by the wind.

But people who have never seen ghosts can never be convinced that there are ghosts in this world. They just have the slightest suspicion that there is something fishy about it. It is almost impossible for them to believe the nonsense of a few children.

"Jonathan, why did you faint?"

At this moment, Jonathan, who had fainted, woke up leisurely, with his head in pain. Before he could speak, he heard Ms. Emma's concerned questioning.

"Maybe it's because my body has been lacking nutrients recently."

"I ask you, why do they all say that you were obviously going to be pressed under that piece of wood, but you suddenly appeared under a tree hundreds of meters away?"

Faced with Ms. Emma's questioning, and looking at the relieved expressions of the few kiddies, it was obvious that they had told the truth about everything that had happened, and were waiting for Jonathan to wake up and give them proof.

But at this moment, Jonathan's answer caused them to be chased for several streets by their respective mothers holding the soles of their shoes.

"No, there is no such thing."

After a heavy rain, there were still a few drops of dew on the yellowing lawn behind the farm. Jonathan was holding a thermos bottle and sitting on the rocking chair on the platform behind the farm, rocking back and forth. The little black dog beside him lay lazily on the wooden board. Mat, dozing off, Jonathan looked at the sky far away, the little spoon made up of seven shining dots, thinking about everything that happened that day.

A sweater was put on the shoulders, and Ms. Emma said softly: "Jonathan, I know that everything those children said today may be true. They may not believe the bizarre things said by these children, but I They are much more receptive to these things than they are.”

"why"

"Because thousands of years ago, mutant races appeared in this world. These people have absolute superpowers that are far beyond ordinary people. Our ancestors were once mutants, but they were passed down from generation to generation, and their abilities have gradually weakened. At this point, the only ability our generation has left is longevity.”

On this night, Ms. Emma told a supernatural story that many people did not understand. She expected to see the surprised expression on Jonathan's face when her mother told her these things, but she was disappointed.

Apart from some surprise, there was not much reaction in Jonathan's eyes.

She also had no idea that Jonathan had experienced too many extraordinary things. He had traveled across the universe, he had experienced the entire world's time stopping, gods and monsters, and he was already numb.

"Then I have a question. Since we can live longer, then when others are old and we are still young, how do we keep others from suspecting us?" Jonathan's voice was still very young, but the question he raised was exceptionally mature. , he can often think of clues about things that ordinary adults would not think of. Of course, as a reborn person, if the social experience is not as good as that of a child, then what is the point of being reborn.

"Of course, people who are familiar with it can't hide it, and they don't have to. Branches that generally don't want to be discovered can only avoid attracting attention by moving back and forth. However, although we live a long life, we are not immune to disease. In addition to longevity, we It’s just the body of an ordinary person. Many of our ancestors passed away after decades or hundreds of years due to bad living habits.”

"Alas" Jonathan couldn't help but sigh. The mutants have come out. Are there superheroes like Thor, X Academy, and Iron Man? As a Marvel fan in his previous life, Jonathan obviously heard something between the lines. This The world is not simple, it's really a piece of shit. Of course, as time passed, Jonathan discovered that he was not a complete mutant. It could also be said that he was not just a mutant.

But I just want to plant some land in a down-to-earth manner, why is it so difficult?

Just like the protagonist mentioned here is not a complete mutant, his abilities depend on the ability of the magic fantasy system, similar to the chaotic magic abilities of the Scarlet Witch, the Ancient One Mage, etc., which will be explained in detail later.
