"Where are we now? No, maybe I should ask, "what time is it?"
Watching the bell buy two cones at the roadside stand and turn back, Lori squints and walks under the umbrella.
At present, they are in a very common community park. Some old people are basking in the sun on the benches, some young lovers are whispering under the trees, some bear children are chasing pigeons on the grass, but the chubby birds are just cooing and quickly escaping with short legs.
The surrounding buildings seem to have a sense of age, but the cleanliness of the street also shows that it is a community of high grade. Clouds are floating in the blue sky, and it is peaceful everywhere.
It doesn't look like a crisis.
In fact, it's not. It's a common point in time. There's no special light even on the timeline. It represents daily life.
Seven or eight stalls selling all kinds of snacks share a dining area. There are white plastic tables and chairs and white umbrellas, which can make people feel the tranquility of the city in the hot sun.
The bell gave Laurie one of the cones in her hand, and she leaned back in her chair and sighed
"We are now in a period of time when the" infinite earth crisis "is over, and the five surviving new earths, including earth 1, earth 2, earth 4, earth s and earth x, gradually evolve into a parallel world. This earth 12 has just been born. To put it simply, we are from the" reborn "multiverse, It's back to the n52 period when Bruce became Batman's new origin, and then it's up against the current and into today's p52 period. "
"... I don't understand."
Lori's little face wrinkled. She must have been frozen to her teeth.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as you know before the dark night, it doesn't matter." Su Ming waved his hand and looked relaxed: "we just came to have a rest. What would you like to eat? After running with me for so long, I'm probably hungry, right? At the same time in different time line activities, the spirit is easy to fatigue
"Thank you, or shall I treat you?"
Laurie took out her pocket and took out a small black purse. Inside lay a few crumpled small bills, about thirteen dollars, including coins.
She blushed with embarrassment, for she had brought the change for vegetables when she went out.
But with a smile, the knell patted the back of her hand and helped her down the steps: "I'm a standard gentleman. How can I make a lady pay for it? You wait for me here. I'll buy some fast food to come back. There are a lot of people waiting in front of the mobile dining car. It seems that it's delicious. "
He pointed to the other end of the park, where you can see the sign of the snack cart and the crowd waiting in line, but it's not very true because it's covered by the trees in the park.
The embarrassed girl nodded and took back her wallet with a smile: "next time I'll treat you to a drink."
Su Ming nodded and walked to the other end of the park. He didn't show any ability. He just lined up in the crowd and waved to the girl from a distance to show that he was there.
Lori, who was sitting under the umbrella, waved back and waited for the food to come. Meanwhile, her eyes were gradually attracted by the laughing people, and she could not help feeling the peaceful atmosphere.
The procession moved forward. The existence of the death knell was covered by trees. She didn't notice that the man disappeared into the crowd in a flash.
................................
In a house not far from the park, a man was holding a picture frame of himself and his brother, drinking wine in silence.
This is the house left by his father to the brothers after his death. It is full of memories of his family. Now, however, he is the only one left. Whenever the clock rings on the hour, he will remind him again and again how empty the house is.
"Damn it
When a man drinks muggy wine, he drinks more and more. After several cups of brown liquid fall into his stomach, he knocks down the table with his fist angrily.
He was scolding himself, because he blamed his brother's death on his incompetence, because he was too weak, which made Donald die in the outpost war against anti surveillance.
Whenever he thought of this, he would like to commit suicide to pay for his brother's life.
His father was assassinated by the gang for justice, and his brother died for the sake of the multiverse. It seems that as long as he is a good man and a hero, there will be no good end in this world.
Why didn't you die? Mingming has a bad temper and a heavy hand. If you catch a thief, you have to beat him to a high position to paraplegia. Other heroes of Zhenglian have complaints about themselves. It's Mingming who should die.
Thinking of this, he wheezed and gasped, poured a glass of wine again, stunned, and then began to slap himself in the face.
"Maybe I'm the root of my misfortune. No matter who I'm close to, that person will die. Maybe this is my retribution. I won't wear that uniform again. The so-called war hawk is not right!"
Yelling to himself, he got up and went to the bedroom, took out his uniform and prepared to take it to the backyard to burn it.
Donald's death devastated his spirit, and the sympathy of the other superheroes didn't help. Hank is now completely disheartened.
Although a girl named Dorn came to the door these days, saying that she was the new spokesperson selected by the power of order, and asked him to reorganize the combination of War Eagle and white dove, he refused.
That girl is young and beautiful, and full of idealistic justice belief, just like her brother Donald.
But the more like it, the less hank could agree to her request. He didn't want to see good people die in front of him.
However, no matter what he said, he even called the police and arrested the girl on the charge of invading her private house, went to the court to apply for a restraining order, and sent a message to an acquaintance of Zhenglian to refuse, but the girl persisted and came every day.
Or sit outside his house holding a sign, which shows two little people, red and blue, hand in hand, referring to the eagle and dove; Or they keep calling and sending messages, trying to sneak into his house from the dog hole in the backyard, and even using unconventional means such as magic messenger or flying arrow messenger.
It's 2009. Are there any normal people who will write letters and shoot at other people's homes with arrows? Except for the green arrow group
Just a moment ago, I called the police again and asked the girl to leave, so I had the chance to continue drinking.
Holding the uniform back to the dining table, he put it in front of him and watched it quietly, his hazy thoughts drifting away.
"You are right, Hank hall. As the spokesman of the Lord of chaos, you are indeed one of the causes of misfortune. After all, chaos is also a kind of crisis force."
Before Ming Ming, those words were just talking to himself, but they got an unexpected answer. A voice came from behind him, and his hands were on his shoulders.
"Who?"
Although drunk, but as a superhero instinct or let him suddenly awake, the next second to try to break free from the shackles.
However, his hands were as steady as a mountain, but the chair was not damaged.
"Don't get excited. The symbiont has interfered with the nerves of your limbs, so it's useless for you to get excited. Let's talk for a while, and it's time to draw an end to the matter."
The man behind him released his hand, but hank still couldn't move. He could only lift his neck and watch a one eyed man in a casual suit walk around him, sit beside the coffee table and take the bottle from his hand
"Oh? BBR's blue pence rum. I didn't expect you to look like a hairy man. You're quite British in your heart. Ha ha. "
