Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Twenty-eight. Awkward Time

After ten minutes of tossing, the black SUV restarted.

Barry’s story is actually somewhat magical. According to him, when he was 11 years old, one night, he was awakened by a strange noise in the house. He walked down the stairs and saw his mother limp on the carpet. Panicked and told him not to come over, beside his mother, he was a helpless father.

Two rays of light, one red and one yellow, are spinning around the room quickly, just like the fairy in a fairy tale. The two rays of light seem to be fighting. After a few minutes, they broke through the window. Then, Barry Seeing his mother had a fruit knife in his heart, and his father looked desperate, the most terrible thing was that there was his fingerprint on the fruit knife.

What the 11-year-old child said could not be evidence, so in the end, his father was charged with intentional homicide. Because he was a famous doctor in Central City and lack of evidence, he was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.

He was adopted by his father’s friend, Sergeant Joe West. After he grew up, in addition to his aspirations to become an excellent forensic appraiser, he also went crazy to track various urban legends, plus his magic Talent, that's why he can guess the identity of Cyber ​​so quickly.

He is like a helpless predecessor, trying to find evidence to prove his father's innocence in the legend of urban magic, but so far, he has found nothing.

It is only today that he has seen the protagonist in the urban legend for the first time. After panicking, Barry became very active, and even the nerd atmosphere disappeared. He simply switched positions with his father and pestered the driver. Cyber ​​kept asking him some weird questions.

He believes that Cyber ​​must know more secrets about the truth of the world.

Most of Cyber ​​didn't answer, and it wasn't until he approached the home of Sheriff Lance that Cyber ​​had revealed some real secrets.

"A few days ago, when I faced Ducard, the leader of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, Barry, I saw what was really unscientific."

Cyber ​​kept the car steady and said to Barry, who was looking eager,

"Can you imagine a person who was almost blown to pieces in the big bang, and only used a small bottle of weird liquid to completely repair his body in a few seconds?"

"How is this possible!"

Barry exclaimed, "The energy generated at the moment of the big bang will annihilate part of the body, and it is impossible to completely restore it! This does not conform to the laws of physics!"

Saibo blinked at him.

"But it just happened, right in front of my eyes... Look, Barry, this is where your distress lies. You are struggling to pursue the truth you want, but you have to use the knowledge you know to explain it, but boy There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science. If you really want to use your own power to save your father, then listen to my advice. At least in these urban legends, don’t use your own thinking. Consider them."

He removed the car key and patted Barry on the shoulder.

"Little Barry, the things you see are not illusions. I can tell you seriously that those things really exist. Although I have never seen them, as long as you are lucky enough, you can find them! Don't give up! "

"Ok!"

Barry clenched his fists and nodded fiercely, "Thank you, Mr. Cyber!"

When Cyber ​​opened the door and got out of the car, there was a silent smile on the corner of his mouth. He didn't know whether what Barry was saying was true or false, but he knew at least that this confused young person needs a little affirmation, otherwise the heavy pressure It will crush him eventually.

In fact, many times, what we ask for others is not the real answer, but the kind of answer we want. There is a saying that Cybertron thinks it makes sense. When you can’t meet the expectations of others, you can do more. It's all failures, which is a key point of interpersonal communication.

This can be seen from Barry's obviously fighting spirit. This young man is satisfied now, and that is enough.

"Ah, doing good deeds is always so happy!"

Cyber ​​triumphantly took out the gift that father brought for Sheriff Lance from the trunk, while pulling the little Catherine girl, while keeping up with the father, Barry walked at the end with Robin on crutches. Sheriff Lance’s house is very large, a two-story structure unique to Star City. There is a small garden in front of it. It can be seen that Mr. Sheriff is a person who pays attention to the quality of life.

But as everyone approached the door, they heard the quarrel coming from the room. Even through the wooden door, they could hear the angry roar of a man and the sharp voice of a girl. Mixed with the sound of crying.

The old man looked back at the same dumbfounded Saibo a little bit. Didn’t he say it’s good to eat, why is there a quarrel in this again?

"Humhhhhhhh"

Dad reached out and knocked on the door three times, and then an angry middle-aged man opened the door. The moment he saw Dad and his group, his face changed from anger to embarrassment, and he patted his head. ,

"Christian! Oh, my goodness, I forgot that we made an appointment for dinner tonight. Come in, come in!"

This is a very handsome middle-aged sergeant, with short brown hair, a thin face, sunken eye sockets, a look of righteousness and a very uncomfortable feeling. His somewhat stubborn stubble did not destroy the temperament of this face. Instead, he pushed his temperament to another level. To be honest, if you meet Quentin Lance on the street, Cyber's first reaction is definitely to turn around and leave.

Such a guy is the most difficult to deal with.

However, thanks to his father's super hard relationship, Chief Lance's attitude was very good, but when everyone walked into the living room, he saw a very embarrassing scene.

Lance's daughter, two similar-looking girls stood face to face behind the sofa, looking at each other with an enemy's eyes. There were still vase fragments on the ground, making the carpet a mess.

Saibo looked at the sisters with great interest. Their appearance was very beautiful, they belonged to the kind that could be called beauties. The taller one should be an older sister with chestnut hair. It seems that they just cried. And the younger sister is slightly shorter, with long blond hair and a cute baby fat on her chin.

I don't know what happened that made the two sisters look like their enemies, but from the experience of Cyber, it is nothing more than feelings or love...it should be the latter.

"Dinah! Sarah! A guest is here, can you put aside those headaches between you? My daughters!"

Sheriff Lance looked at his daughter with a headache. He was not involved in the quarrel. The roar everyone heard outside the door was that he was trying to stop the conflict between his daughters, but the effect did not seem to be good.

The old man was not embarrassed. When he entered the house, the two girls turned their heads at the same time and greeted him.

"Hello, Uncle Christian."

"Uncle Christian, why are you all here?"

Obviously, the relationship between them and the old man is good, and Saibo sat in the chair next to him very familiarly, and started the theater mode. He had a hunch that he might have a good show tonight.

The two girls did not say hello to the others, but walked into the kitchen one after the other. Obviously, they were quite courteous and knew what was most important now. Sheriff Lance greeted everyone to sit down, knowing the old man. After the news that he was about to leave, Mr. Sheriff was a little bit reluctant. He walked quickly into the bedroom. When he walked out, he had already taken out a bottle of whiskey.

How can a man's friendship be without wine?

"Come on, Quentin, let me introduce you!"

The old man drank a glass of wine and said enthusiastically to the sheriff, "This is the Cyber ​​I told you, my buddy, my good friend, he is completely different from Robin, I even suspect that I was I went crazy when I took him in."

Dad’s introduction was terrible, and Saibo was a little embarrassed, but he still greeted the sheriff with a straight face. The latter looked at Saibo with weird eyes. In Lance’s perception, this one had yellow in front of him. The temperament of the skin-skinned young man is almost exactly the same as those of the dangerous elements, but he can't interfere too much with the way the old man makes friends. He raises the wine glass toward Cyber, which is a gesture of kindness.

"This is Robin's good friend, Barry Allen. I recently intern at your police station. He admires you very much. So I brought him here today. You still have that bad temper, Lance. This will scare you. People around you."

The old man introduced Barry again. The latter didn’t know how to drink, but he raised his glass and met with the sheriff. When he removed his official duties, Lance was indeed a middle-aged man with a very cheerful personality, as his father said. Personally, they talked quickly and happily. From time to time there was a little quarrel in the kitchen, but soon there was a smell. Obviously, the two daughters of the sheriff are good at cooking.

However, the scene of such a happy conversation made Cyber ​​feel bored. He put down his wine glass, and his original mood of expecting a good show was gone. He weakly held an apple and a fruit knife, peeling apples to play, and the little girl Catherine took advantage of it. With the opportunity for the adults to talk, he sneaked up to Saibo and said to him,

"Syber Seber, are you going to New York, right?"

Saibo put down the fruit knife in her hand, reached out and patted the smooth hair of the little girl, and put the sharpened apple in her hand.

"Yes, I'm going to New York to meet some famous people."

"I want to go too! Will you take me with you?"

Catherine took a bite of the apple in her hand. It was a 10-year-old girl who was so milky and so milky that Cyber ​​felt very funny, but he did not immediately agree. Traveling with a child like Catherine was the most troublesome thing. And the old man probably wouldn't agree, he was Catherine's nominal guardian, without him nodding, the little girl could not go anywhere.

"What are you going to do in New York? You want to go back to Gotham with your dad. You should go to school after the new year."

The little girl pouted and pretended to be pitiful, but she knew very well that this set was useless for Cyber. After Cyber ​​rescued her from Fat Jon, the little girl had a special kind of closeness with Cyber. After thinking about it, I decided to tell Syber the reason.

"I want to go to New York to find my parents..."

Catherine lowered her head, she put the apple aside, her fingers crossed, and her thumbs turned around. She seemed afraid to see Cyber's eyes.

"I remember that before our trip to Gotham, we lived in Brooklyn, New York, and I wanted to find them..."

Saber’s beating fingers on the table stopped suddenly. He looked at Catherine standing in front of him. He felt a bit blocked in his chest, but he still relied on his powerful emotional manipulation ability to calm himself down. He used a Asked in a serious tone,

"Then Catherine, what about after you find them? Have you decided to give up Dad?"

"No! I won't abandon you and Dad! And Robin!"

Catherine suddenly raised her head, she reached out and hugged Saber's hand, and she whispered, "I just want to ask them why I am missing and they don't come to me... Am I really that hateful?"

This answer made Saibo's mood immediately happy. He was such a simple person. He smiled and stroked Catherine's head.

"I can take you there, but you have to get the old man's approval first, or else..."

"Sarah! Sarah! Come out!"

A voice from outside the house interrupted Cyber ​​and Catherine's words, and also interrupted the other people's communication. There was a jingling sound in the kitchen, and Sarah Lance rushed out of the kitchen. , Seemed to want to rush out of the house, but was yelled at by Sergeant Lance.

"No going out!"

Sarah’s footsteps stopped immediately, and Sheriff Lance was like an enraged beast. He stood up, turned around, and finally lifted an empty wine bottle from his hand and moved towards the door of the room. Walk outside,

"That bastard is here again! I swear! I'm going to kill him!"

"Hey! Hey, man, what's the matter? Who is that?"

Saibo stopped the irritable Sheriff Lance at his father’s gesture, and Sarah, who was terrified, hugged her father’s waist from the other side. After a few minutes of such a fuss, he was asked by the father. The quiet sergeant glared at his little daughter, and then told the bad story of his family.
