Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Chapter 25 The Mirror Image

Starlight never imagined that one day she would be strangled to death by her own reflection in the mirror.

However, the person in the mirror was clearly not himself, but a white-haired woman he didn't recognize at all.

The other person was covered in a white, scale-patterned bodysuit, with even their lips and hair being a dull white. They were as pale as a long-dead zombie, and their bloodshot, murderous eyes were fixed on the starlight.

Starlight, whose throat was being choked, hurriedly activated his ability to try to fight back, but at this moment he found that the power in the entire house had been cut off, and he could not draw any power from the vicinity!

With her last bit of strength left, Xingguang kicked the sink, the force of which pushed her back a few steps, pulling half of the other person's body out of the mirror.

But it was too late. This outburst did not throw the opponent off balance. Instead, it left Xingguang completely exhausted and unable to break free.

Starlight could feel the other person's hands tightening, the long nails digging into her skin, and the pressure on her carotid arteries making her dizzy and almost lose consciousness...

boom!

Just as Starlight was despairingly awaiting the end of her life, a bullet shot in from the window at an extremely tricky angle, shattering the mirror in front of her.

As the mirror shattered, the half of the person's body that had been protruding from the mirror was severed in half as if by magic. Before they could even scream, blood splattered everywhere, and they fell into the sink.

In a panic, Xingguang slapped and hit her repeatedly, finally managing to free the other person's hands from her neck. By then, the water tank in front of her was a mixture of red, green, and yellow.

Starlight stared blankly at her blood-covered reflection in the shattered mirror, bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

Having endured the blows and the current pressure, the water tank finally collapsed to the ground with a splash, the half-corpse and various contents inside directly covering Xingguang's body from the thighs down.

Ugh~

Starlight is now only grateful that her busy schedule these past two days has prevented her from eating or drinking properly, otherwise she would be feeling more than just dry heaving right now.

How Starlight should deal with her bathroom, which resembled a murder and dismemberment crime scene, was no longer a concern for the gunman who fired the shot from the rooftop in the distance.

After reporting the mission results to the command center, the elite sniper from Honghe Security quickly removed the suppressor from the barrel, disassembled his rifle, packed it into a box, put it in his bag, and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tap his phone screen to let his family know he was safe, just like when he sniped Superman before.

Dealing with superhumans, especially with firearms, is never a safe thing. Luckily, the superhuman last time wasn't too narrow-minded, otherwise I would have died several times over.

Although the Wilson family is a family of mercenaries, and their family motto has always been to prioritize money over life, it's best to earn money while also being able to spend it.

However, this target is not difficult to deal with. Just as the intelligence mentioned, it is Mirror Girl from G-Men. As her name suggests, her ability is to walk through mirrors.

This superpower is very cool, but he looks like he has albinism, and he is rarely exposed to light, so he has very low profile in the G-Men group.

Following the solution provided by the Equipment Department, he destroyed the passage as she passed through the mirror, which indeed split her in two, allowing him to easily take away this superhuman.

After letting his wife and daughter know he was safe, Todd Wilson turned off his phone while thinking about how to distribute the reward.

Then Todd Wilson felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment—

Because what he saw on the turned-off phone screen wasn't his own face, but another pale face, belonging to a dead person who should have been cut in half just moments ago!

Before Wilson could react, a hand reached out from the phone screen and pierced his chest with a speed that ordinary humans could not react to.

With a slight exertion of that hand, Wilson's heart burst open and stopped beating completely.

The unfortunate mercenary's blood was splattered all over the rooftop. As the morning sun slanted down, it intertwined with the large pool of blood. As the blood pool gradually calmed down, the surface of the blood congealed, forming a thin, mirror-like surface.

The mirror of blood reflected a distorted, blood-red world. A pure white figure crawled out of this distorted world, its muscular physique outlined in a white bodysuit, its scarlet eyes fixed on the hiding place of the starlight.

Just as a person will have many shadows when there is enough light, how can there only be one person in the mirror when there are enough mirrors?

Even though she lost consciousness quickly enough, the pain of being severed at the waist still came through in an instant. At this moment, she still felt a faint, numb, and heart-palpitating tingling pain in her lower abdomen.

But such pain is nothing to Mirror Girl. If she fails to complete the mission and eliminate the threat of this G-Men, Professor G will once again show her what true pain is.

However, the target information was clearly wrong this time. The data obtained from the police system clearly showed that the person investigating them was an ordinary woman, while the other party was obviously a superhuman.

Laurie has disappeared.

To be precise, while old Arthur was drunk and unconscious, she left a note and ran away from home.

Her telekinesis had grown stronger over the past few days, and she was no longer content to stay on the Kansas farm and be a country bumpkin.

Old Arthur knew exactly how these so-called superpowers came about and how dangerous they were, so naturally he wouldn't support his daughter's idea.

At this moment, she saw someone resembling Joey on TV who had become a member of the Seven. It's easy to imagine what choice she would make.

Laurie's father was an extremely unfit father in many ways, but in this case, Joey really couldn't find a good angle to criticize him for his stance.

He had spent the last two days going through all the unencrypted data on the Water Tower's internal network. He could say that apart from the people on the 82nd floor of the Water Tower, no one knew Water Corporation better than him.

Superpowers can be used to fight crime, but at Vought International, they're only used for monkey shows.

Moreover, the first thing Laurie did after gaining superpowers, upon closer examination, wasn't exactly a good thing.

"You haven't contacted her?"

Joey asked old Arthur this question.

To my shame, although Laurie always occupied the seat behind him on the school bus over the past few years, Joey never saved her number.

It might be because she often secretly pinched her hair in the back seat while she was catching up on sleep, and even tried to pull out a single strand several times.

"It's not about answering the phone now!"

Old Arthur reluctantly came to see Joey, the superhuman whose powers could burn hundreds of acres to the ground when they went out of control, not just because his daughter had gone through her rebellious phase, run away from home, and wasn't answering her phone.

He unlocked his phone and handed it to Joey. The 'My Darling Daughter' section of the messaging app contained countless sent messages, but only one reply, sent last night:

"save......"
