I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

By this time, the passengers on the plane were nearly driven mad, hugging each other and wailing, some recording their last words, others praying to gods…

The ground control center was in a similar situation, but there was nothing they could do... they could only watch helplessly as the plane 'crashed' at speeds of thousands of kilometers per hour...

Las Vegas, the world's most famous gambling city, is facing an unforgettable day today: a passenger plane fully loaded with passengers is about to crash in the heart of the bustling city center…

By the time the mayor received the message from the ground control center of the international flight, it was too late; he could even hear the whooshing sound from the sky from his home…

Because it was night, the unsuspecting crowd thought it was thunder. It wasn't until the plane got close enough to be seen with the naked eye that they were terrified and hurriedly took cover...

But they had no idea... the plane's speed had suddenly decreased when it was still 5,000 feet above the ground, and by the time it approached the ground, it had slowed down to almost the speed of a movie in slow motion...

Then... when the Las Vegas residents realized there was no explosion or fire, they looked up and saw the man who had lifted the huge plane above his head and was slowly landing it on the open ground...

The massive passenger plane landed on the city center streets, causing a traffic jam, but no one complained. Drivers in cars, pedestrians on the road... all gave the man below the plane the warmest applause and cheers!

Lei Ming was puzzled by this scene, but then he realized that these people probably thought he had 'saved' a plane that was about to crash...

But it didn't matter; he didn't have time for that now. After landing, he flew straight to the cabin door, tore it open like cardboard, and then entered the cabin, searching for his target amidst the passengers' astonished gazes…

Surprisingly, there were no women dressed in gothic Lolita style on the plane.

"Are you changing, Miss Betty Brant?"

Standing in front of the airplane's lavatory, Lei Ming loudly inquired, calling out Heidi's real name. The White Queen had discovered her whereabouts and obtained all her information at the same time.

But there was no movement in the toilet, so it seemed that no one was there.

Impatient, Lei Ming simply pushed through the cardboard-thin toilet door with his bare hands and grabbed the woman who was hiding behind it, holding her breath... but whose heartbeat betrayed her...

"First... answer me a question: do you have the ability to pinpoint the exact location of a person or object from a distance?"

Lei Ming got straight to the point with his very first words.

The woman being held by Lei Ming was none other than Heidi in disguise; she should now be called Betty…

At this moment, her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Lei Ming. She was trembling uncontrollably, and her face was covered in tears. Hearing this, she could only nod frantically, unable to utter a single word...

"very good…"

Lei Ming nodded, the glint in his eyes fading, and continued:

“Miss Betty, whether you know who I am or not, it doesn’t matter, but I need your help. If you’re willing… perhaps I can forgive you for bringing people into my house…”

Ten seconds later, Lei Ming and Betty disappeared into the horizon amidst the enthusiastic cheers and applause of the citizens…

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Girl and the Corpse

Before long, the video of Lei Ming holding up the plane and slowly landing in downtown Las Vegas spread across major online platforms. On a popular emerging short video platform, it garnered nearly 70 million views and nearly 100 million likes in less than half an hour!

It's unclear who started it, but the word 'Superman' suddenly became a viral sensation across the internet! It dominated the headlines of major news outlets! Almost everyone in the world with internet access was discussing it!

Some media outlets have called him a 'savior' or a 'god among men,' while many religious people say he is an angel sent by God to spread love and peace on earth…

Meanwhile, Lei Ming, the protagonist of the video, is watching Betty activate her 'superpower,' something called psychic abilities, in a secluded place.

According to her, ever since she was old enough to understand, she would inexplicably see people or things she had never seen before. If something was lost or disappeared, she would always "see" the lost item in an unexpected "hallucination". Since then, she has never lost anything again.

She only learned when she grew up that this ability was inherited from her mother. Her mother did not tell her the origin of this ability, but only taught her how to use it. When she was eighteen, with the death of her mother, the secret about the ability was buried deep underground.

However, Betty's abilities seem to be malfunctioning. About an hour has passed, and she still hasn't been able to 'see' the girl that Lei Ming asked her to find.

"I'm...I'm sorry...I don't know what happened...This has never happened before..."

Looking at Lei Ming's increasingly cold expression, Betty said in a tearful voice.

There was no way around it… this man was just too terrifying for her. The fear he instilled in her was on a completely different level compared to Buster and that woman named Lyra. She could face ruthless mercenaries without flinching, but with Lei Ming… she couldn’t even look him in the eye…

Suddenly, two streams of blood flowed down her lips. She immediately wiped them away while explaining:

"Sorry... I sometimes overuse my abilities and that happens..."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Lei Ming hesitated to threaten her further. Strictly speaking, she was just doing someone else's work or being used by someone else, and she didn't actually have any deep hatred for him.

After calming himself down, Lei Ming tried to speak to Betty in a gentle tone:

"Actually, I don't mean you any harm, you don't need to be so afraid..."

The reason I forced the plane to land was because the person I wanted you to find... might be the only 'kindred spirit' I have in this world..."

Upon hearing this, Betty suddenly looked up with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding what he meant by 'kindred spirits'.

"She and I... don't belong to this planet..."

Lei Ming spoke slowly, then looked up at the starry sky.

"We come from a planet very similar to this one... but it's already destroyed. We accidentally ended up here while traveling in our spaceship to another star system..."

"Fortunately, I was not discovered by any force and lived peacefully on Earth for four years until a few days ago..."

But she… has been imprisoned by a force I still can't find, and that force is subjecting her to extremely cruel experiments! I don't even know if she's still alive…”

As he spoke, Lei Ming handed the complete video recording to Betty for her to watch, and then continued.

"If she were still alive, she would only be seventeen years old now... Three years ago she was just a little girl..."

She did nothing wrong...and shouldn't be treated like this..."

Betty, who was watching the video, gradually became unbearable... and finally even covered her mouth and turned her head away, unable to watch any longer...

She had never seen anyone tortured like that before; just watching it was unbearable for her. One can only imagine the immense suffering the girl in the video endured…

"Now...can you understand how I feel?"

Betty's eyes were already slightly red. After handing the phone back to Lei Ming, she said firmly:

"I'm so sorry for everything he's suffered. Please let me try again! I'm sure I can find her!"

After receiving Lei Ming's signal, Betty closed her eyes again and began to cast a summoning spell, but this time her face no longer showed fear and unease... but determination...

'Women are indeed emotional creatures…'

Lei Ming thought to himself.

In other circumstances, he wouldn't have explained so much to people so calmly...

Ten minutes later, Betty's body suddenly swayed as if she would collapse at any moment, and the nosebleed that had stopped started flowing again, but she still did not give up and continued to close her eyes and clench her teeth.

Just when Lei Ming thought she was about to faint, she suddenly opened her eyes and said:

"I found her..."

She then fainted in Lei Ming's arms...

……

...

Located at the intersection of the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres, a backward town has gathered a large number of armed men who call themselves an insurgent against the tyranny of the Russian Federation. Their leader, Andrei, was originally just an ordinary high school teacher.

It is said that his wife was accidentally killed by riot police during an armed crackdown during a protest, after which he quit his job and gathered a group of people to begin resisting the federal government…

At first, it was just a small-scale attack, and the federal government didn't take it seriously at all. But as time went on, more and more people joined Andrei's camp, and the scale of the attacks grew larger and larger. Some people even provided them with funds to buy weapons and resources. Many people in the civilian population also helped them fight openly and secretly.

In just a few years, Andrei's forces grew to a point where even the Federal government could not ignore them. Although most of them were ragtag troops who had come from nowhere and their weapons and equipment were of varying quality, the rebels, who had the advantage of geographical location and manpower, made it difficult for the Federal government to take them down.

Due to concerns about international relations and various wartime treaties, the federal government could not use weapons of mass destruction. But Andrei disregarded all of that, launching bomb attacks one day and kidnapping important officials the next, causing the federal government considerable headaches…

Today, Andrei was drinking strong liquor with a group of followers at the table, loudly singing familiar folk songs. Women were serving them food and drinks, and children were dancing to the songs. It was quite a lively scene; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a family gathering.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the sky outside the window. Andrei squinted, and before he could see it clearly, the shadow grew larger and larger in his vision…

boom…

A figure crashed through the window and slammed hard onto the table in front of everyone, remaining motionless like a dead person... no, he was definitely a dead person!

The sudden scene left everyone at the table dumbfounded.

what happened?

"This...isn't this Ivan?"

Someone recognized the deceased as Ivan, one of the resistance fighters who was on guard duty outside.

"There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"

There was no time to think about why he had "flew" over from so far away. Realizing what was happening, Andrei immediately shouted loudly, and the people around him grabbed their weapons and got up to rush out...

But just as they reached the doorway, another dark shadow appeared in the sky and hurtled towards them…

Another aerial acrobat!

"Quickly open!"

After shouting, Andrei immediately hid behind the wall. After all, the force of an adult being thrown from that distance shouldn't be underestimated...

Boom! The figure crashed into the wall behind it, leaving a pool of blood before rolling to the ground motionless. It was unclear whether it had died from the impact with the wall or from being airborne...

"It's Anton!"

Someone else recognized the corpse; it was one of Andrei's rebel soldiers on guard duty!

Immediately afterwards, people kept flying down from the sky, crashing into the house like dumplings being dumpled!

In an instant, the house was filled with corpses, both inside and out! Even the women and children inside, who were used to seeing dead people, were terrified and cried their hearts out. The scene was too gruesome.

"Andrei! What happened? Did the federal government do this?"
