Chapter 2857 (1/2)
”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
