Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 3 Awakening
"See you tomorrow, Colin, then."

Coming out of the news building of the Daily Bugle, Smith scratched his bushy beard, yawned and greeted Colin.

"See you tomorrow, Smith."

On the side, Ke Lin nodded weakly in the direction of the cameraman, and replied casually.

In the news media industry, time is life. In order to get first-hand news consultation, the two have been asked to prepare their lives since early in the morning. Both the cameraman and Ke Lin himself have become exhausted by the end of the day. The only thought is to go home and lie down on the bed directly, and have a good sleep.

After waving goodbye to his colleagues, Colin stretched out his hand and patted his cheek, forcing himself to cheer up.

Originally, Ke Lin's family was not rich.

In order to be able to successfully complete his studies, he barely graduated with part-time work and high student loans.

However, just like the vast majority of American graduates, Colin is also experiencing a life of debt upon graduation.

In the United States, it is not a new thing to live as long as you can to pay your tuition.Many people feel that if they can find a good job after going to college, they will pay back their capital soon.But the reality is that after graduation, many people often need to repay their student loans until they are middle-aged or even old. Especially under the impact of the financial crisis a few years ago, the impact of the general environment made Ke Lin's employment even more difficult.

About me traveling to the world of superheroes, but still have to think about working and paying off debts.

I don't know how long the "Daily Bugle" can last?
Colin felt even more headache when he thought of the rumors about the takeover that had spread inside the newspaper in recent days.

I don’t know if it was affected by the imminent acquisition of the newspaper, which caused me to be in a bad mood. The boss, J. Jonah Jameson, hasn’t shown up in the office for a long time. As a result, Colin Traveling has never been with himself. Meet the current boss of the company.

In this regard, Colin was quite regretful.

After all, anyway, Jameson is considered a 'celebrity' in the superhero world. Although the 'bug' that should be Jameson's fate has not yet appeared, this does not prevent Colin His attention, especially in the current situation where the other party is still his boss.

Well, at least until the Daily Clarion was bought.

……

With so many thoughts in mind, Colin got off the bus before the next stop, and walked into an alley.

Due to the poor salary of the new reporter, Ke Lin naturally couldn't afford to live in a high-end residence.He currently lives in a fringe apartment on Second Avenue in New York, and the commute to and from get off work takes about an hour a day, which is under the premise that the traffic in the center of New York is good.

However, Ke Lin, who went back to the apartment wholeheartedly, did not notice it.

Accompanied by his hasty footsteps, the two swaying figures at the intersection looked at each other, and then followed the alley with swaying steps.

"Hey man, stop!"

In the alley, before Colin walked out of the alley, blocking his way, one of the black men with messy tattoos all over his body, who didn't know it and thought it was a performance art, raised his gun and threatened with a ferocious tone.

"Get the money out!"

His eyes stayed on the black man's pistol for a few seconds, and Colin handed out his wallet cooperatively.

"no problem."

Just kidding, he just transmigrated into the world of superheroes, but he didn't become a so-called superhero.

In the past week as a reporter, Colin has fully understood the 'freedom' of America, and he has no interest in being the price behind this 'freedom'.

Especially when Colin noticed that the dazed and blurred expressions on the faces of the two guys in front of him from time to time were obviously the result of the pumping.

"Damn it, why is it so small?"

Roughly snatching the wallet from Colin's hand and opening it to see the pitifully few banknotes inside, the expression on the black man's face suddenly became a bit ugly.

"Don't play tricks on me, bastard!"

The accomplice at the side looked at the amount in the wallet that did not exceed thirty dollars, and immediately grabbed Colin by the collar and said.

"Believe it or not, we shot you right away!"

Feeling the suffocation coming from the collar, the expression on Colin's face couldn't help becoming a little uncomfortable. He looked up at the two obviously emotional guys in front of him, and explained with difficulty: "Trust me, Under the circumstances, I have no reason to deceive you..."

Perhaps he was persuaded by the reasons given by Colin, or he had confidence in the pistol in his hand, so he dared not lie to himself.

Seeing this, the man walking with him let go of the arm that was holding Colin's collar with a look of unwillingness, and the latter coughed a few times in discomfort while clutching his neck.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

In the alley, ignoring Ke Lin's reaction, the mugging duo was about to leave.

"Wait a moment……"

The moment he turned around, one of the sharp-eyed black men inadvertently caught a glimpse of the blue lanyard in Colin's pocket.

"What's in your pocket?"

Oops, when? !

Facing the black man's questioning, Colin subconsciously reached out and covered his pocket.

However, his subconscious reaction once again gave the two people in front of him a bad association.

"Damn it, you guy, you actually dare to lie to us!"

"I see you are impatient!"

He rushed to Colin with an ugly face, pulled away his palm covering his pocket, and quickly pulled out the contents together with the lanyard.

"what is this?!"

However, looking at the card attached to one end of the lanyard, the expression on the face of the accomplice man couldn't help but be a bit astonished.

"Colin Luper, The Daily Bugle? Press card!"

Flipping the card on the lanyard and reading out the content printed on it word by word, the expression on the man's face changed immediately.

"Fu** you, you are a reporter!"

"Everything is open to explanation, I'm just a newcomer to work..."

In the alley, seeing the gradually excited expressions of the two people in front of him, Colin quickly raised his hands to explain, but he didn't wait for him to finish speaking.

boom--

All this was interrupted by the sound of harsh gunshots.

"Damn..."

Feeling the severe pain from his chest, Colin clutched his body hit by the bullet, and fell down as if he had been hit hard.

"... Fu**... who told you to shoot?!"

"Didn't you see him, this guy is a reporter, and he also saw the two of us..."

Falling down on the cold concrete floor in the alley, feeling the blood flowing from the wound and his body getting colder and colder, Ke Lin didn't have the slightest fear of death in his heart at this moment.

He listened to the panicked quarrel between the two at the entrance of the alley.

In the next second, Colin's vague consciousness was enveloped by a green light.

　The protagonist is dead, and the book is over. (funny)
