In Manhattan, New York, the so-called capital of economics and finance, the ubiquitous specialty is towering skyscrapers, among which Vought Tower is the most prominent, because it is covered with superhero billboards.
Inside the employee building on the left side of the tower, in room 4027, a young man with an Asian face was staring at himself in the mirror with a look of shock.
"Sh*t, there really is such a ghostly thing as time-traveling." The man in the mirror looked extremely similar to him, one could even say they were carved from the same mold.
But the extra memory in his mind clearly told Xia Shang that he had indeed traveled through time, and into the body of this brother who looked the same and had the same name as him.
But how exactly did he die?
Xia Shang's gaze inadvertently fell on the broken glass on the ground, and a fragment of the original owner's last moments flashed through his mind, because he drank water too quickly, causing a large amount of liquid to pour into his trachea, causing difficulty breathing, and finally blacking out in a fit of violent coughing.
Choking to death while drinking water, this kind of death that only exists in curses, actually exists.
While Xia Shang was in awe, he began to sort out the memories in his mind. The original owner was named Xia Shang. He came to the United States with his aunt and uncle thirteen years ago, lived in Queens, attended an ordinary high school, and was a big fan of superheroes who upheld justice.
So after graduating from university, he came to Vought International to apply for a security guard position, and today was his first day on the job.
"Vought International... Why does it sound so familiar?" Xia Shang frowned. Just as he was trying to think, a sharp pain suddenly struck, directly interrupting Xia Shang's thoughts. He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, suspecting that the time travel had brought some hidden dangers.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Xia, are you okay? I heard something break in the hallway just now."
The familiar voice made a slightly simple and honest white face quickly appear in Xia Shang's mind. The person outside the door was called Blitz, who was also a new employee who joined today. He was a natural optimist, always smiling at everyone. Although they had only been together for a short time, it could be seen that he was a good person.
"It's okay, I just accidentally broke a glass.", Xia Shang replied loudly.
"Do you need me to call the cleaning staff?"
"Buddy, it's just a broken glass."
Xia Shang cleaned up the broken glass and water stains on the ground, and then pushed the door open and walked out.
"Xia, you look like you're in a good mood.", Blitz was a few centimeters shorter than Xia Shang, and he was visibly strong.
Xia Shang naturally wouldn't tell him that as a patient who had been paralyzed for three years, he had now regained his health, and this surprise was beyond words.
He observed the white corridor and said, "Being able to join Vought International and work with those superheroes is my dream in this life. Now that it's come true, of course I'm happy."
Don't underestimate the job of a security guard. In his memory, the monthly salary for this job is a full five thousand, not yuan, but dollars.
Walking side by side, Blitz laughed heartily, "Buddy, that's what I think too."
"By the way, who is your favorite superhero? Is it A-Train, whose speed is comparable to a train, or Homelander, who has been in the limelight recently? Of course, I still like Queen Maeve, that look is so sexy, I used to jerk off to her in high school…"
Xia Shang immediately interrupted Blitz's incessant chatter. The names Blitz said flashed through his memory like lightning. Although he had been paralyzed in bed for three years, his eyeballs could move, so the nurse who took care of him often played some TV series or animations for him.
And the names Blitz mentioned were obviously characters from The Boys.
Thinking of the scenes of those superheroes disregarding human life, Xia Shang suddenly felt a headache. Time-traveling to this world was not safe, especially since he was a security guard at Vought International, which made the danger level even higher.
"Tell me, is it too late for me to resign now?" Xia Shang said with a headache.
Blitz glanced at him, "Buddy, that joke isn't funny at all."
As he said that, he took out his phone and waved it in front of Xia Shang, "Our mission for today has already been issued, to be responsible for the security work of the set. We have to get there in 20 minutes."
"Don't worry, our job is very easy, just to stop some crazy fans."
"OK, I'll wash my face and leave.", The work contract was signed yesterday, and resigning now requires paying a penalty for breach of contract, and Xia Shang doesn't have that kind of money in his pocket right now.
After gathering with the others, the group took a car to the set.
The set had already been cordoned off with yellow police tape.
A large number of fans could be seen holding light boards and anxiously waiting for the arrival of the superheroes. The atmosphere at the scene was quite lively, which made Xia Shang, who had just gotten off the car, couldn't help but think of those crazy fan scenes on TV.
"Sh*t, could you guys be any later? Just now, some guy actually sneaked into the theater... If something goes wrong, you will be fully responsible."
The woman in charge of security was a white woman from Vought International, who looked mean and sarcastic, and the spittle in her mouth almost sprayed on Xia Shang's face.
"Asia, they are just newcomers, I will take them to handle these things.", A strong man walked over not far away. He was the captain of Xia Shang's team, Ol.
Although Ol's position was not lower than Asia's, the two seemed to have some grievances.
"Then please take care of your group of rookies.", After saying that, Asia flicked her hair and twisted her tight buttocks wrapped in a short skirt, and walked towards the theater.
After she disappeared from everyone's sight, Ol spat on the ground and cursed, "Damn b*tch, always pointing fingers at me all day long."
After venting his anger, Ol arranged work for Xia Shang and others with a stern face.
Xia Shang's job was to be responsible for the security of the set exit. He wore a security uniform and stood in front of the crowd.
I have to say, this job was indeed easy. It wasn't until noon that Queen Maeve, wearing a steel hoop and a leather skirt, slowly walked out of the red supercar surrounded by fans.
She enthusiastically took photos with the fans while posing in sexy poses, facing the flashing lights of countless media outlets.
Xia Shang was not responsible for escorting the superheroes.
Queen Maeve also completely ignored the inconspicuous Xia Shang beside her, but when she passed by Xia Shang.
A burning, stinging pain flooded into Xia Shang's eyes.
What followed was countless colored lines of varying thicknesses, and then the lines converged into a panel.
