Schizophrenia

Chapter 63 A Funeral That Hastily Ended

In the black ocean, everyone is dressed in black, like the ghosts of Jiuyou.Jacob clearly remembered the first Western-style funeral he attended, that of the Wayne couple, and then Rosalind's.Not the first, but definitely the last, Jacob said silently to himself.

Rosalind's funeral was very grand. Although she hadn't turned [-] yet, because she was in charge of ST, she had friendship with many important people.What's more, the day she died was a birthday party, and everyone wanted to know what she would do when the real person in charge of ST became an adult.

Now, there was no need to decide, but they still wanted to get in touch with Jacob.

Jacob stood there in a black suit, looking at everyone with a sad expression on their faces, as if they knew Rosalind before they were alive, as if they were Rosalind's best friends.They went up to flowers, said their condolences to him, and then quietly inquired about what they wanted to know.

"If you need, come to me." Dr. McGee stood opposite Jacob, without giving him a hug, "Jack, I have always treated you and Roser as children, so I hope you are doing well. If you really Tired, come to Central City and I will support you." He said very seriously, staring at Jacob.

Jacob gave a smile, which put Dr. McGee in a trance.In fact, she seldom sees the other party's smile, and more often the other party has a sarcastic smile instead of the soft and doting smile: "I know, Christina, thank you." She took a step forward and hugged Live with McGee.

Dr. McGee patted the young man on the back as a sign of comfort: "If you need it, I'm always here."

After Dr. McGee, there are all kinds of people he doesn't know, don't want to know, and are not interested in, but with Sis always pointing out, he can also greet everyone familiarly.He even heard whispers that ST's new chairman was a comfortable man.

"It's just not the time," Jacob heard himself say, "not today."

【You speak out what is in your heart.These two are Bruce Wayne and his butler Pennyworth. ] Sis reminded Jacob that he spoke out what was in his heart, and incidentally informed the person standing in front of him.

"Mr. Wayne," Jacob smiled, "Thank you very much for coming to Rosalind's funeral."

"I'm sorry." Gotham's playboy rarely faded his idle appearance, "If there is anything I can do, please mention it." He stepped forward and hugged the young man, but he didn't see him hugging him into his arms For a moment, the other party's gloomy eyes and the flash of hatred.

"It's okay, Mr. Wayne, you can't do anything." Jacob broke away from Bruce's arms calmly, with a weak and heart-wrenching smile on his pale face, "She has left me, I think what I can do is to make my life a little bit happier."

"I'm sorry," Bruce said again, "I'm really, really sorry."

"You've already said it, Mr. Wayne, I see." Jacob smiled, "Thank you for coming to her funeral." From the beginning to the end, he didn't distract the slightest attention from being by Bruce's side on the housekeeper.

"Call me Bruce." Bruce looked at the young man who was a head shorter than himself, "You can call me Bruce."

[Ann, Mr. Barry is here. 】Sis reminded me friendly.

"Excuse me," Jacob nodded towards Bruce, neither rejecting his offer nor accepting it with a polite smile.At this time, the crowd had almost dispersed, and the Flash probably appeared after watching everyone leave. Jacob knew that he had been watching not far away.

"I'm sorry," Jacob heard Barry say, "although I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but if there's anything I can do, please tell me." It's like another identity of his, In reality, Barry was also very sensitive, "Well, we are friends, I mean Miss Rosalind and I, you may not know."

"I don't blame you," Jacob looked at Barry, "actually, she likes you."

"Well, what?" Barry was really shocked when he didn't expect to get such an answer.His impression of Miss Conway was the robot bee incident and the figure he saw at various press conferences before.His apology was because he hadn't had the pleasure of attending the banquet that day if he hadn't been bothered by Harrison's affairs, or it would have prevented the tragedy.

"I mean, she likes The Flash very much." Jacob's tone was very steady, and he didn't care what kind of bomb was released, "Not only because you rescued her twice, but her fiancé was also rescued by you Yes, but you probably don't remember. She kept saying you were her hero."

"Why..." Barry hadn't recovered from his identity being exposed.

"The two conditions I owe you are still valid, and I didn't show you the headquarters, so I thought you might be interested." Jacob looked sideways at Barry, and unexpectedly found that there was more on his face besides surprise. The thing is to be careful.Beware of what?Did he lose control and throw a tantrum at him?

"What are you thinking?" Jacob dimpled at the corner of his mouth, thinking that Barry was such a caring and kind person, "You have nothing to do with her death, and the invitation letter posted in the newspaper that day was just to hope that you It's her idea to come as a friend. You don't have to feel guilty, it's an invitation and of course you have the right to refuse."

"Why... I just..." Barry hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"You saved her twice, without you her funeral would have been half a year earlier, Barry, can I call you that?" Jacob smiled, "No one is more able to arrive at the disaster scene in time , It’s just a matter of time, there’s nothing to regret, it’s just bad luck.”

"There is a saying in the East called reincarnation." Barry looked at Jacob, "Mr. An, Miss Conway is just starting a new journey. Maybe one day you will meet on the road. Give her a smile then." , let her know that you are doing well, that's fine."

"You can just call me Jack." Jacob's dimples deepened as he bent his eyes, "Thank you, Barry. By the way, are you free today?" At this time, the crowd had almost dispersed, and Ansang looked Barry, who was standing next to him, extended an invitation, "I haven't been able to find you, are you free today?"

"Well, I think the criminals in Central City intended to take a day off today." Barry looked at Jacob, "But I run very fast, really super~super~fast. So if there is anything you need, like take a courier What, maybe I took it back before you went out~" made a super exaggerated dragging sound.

"It has nothing to do with how fast you run," Jacob laughed. Rosalind was right. The Flash really has a calming power.It seems that nothing can knock him down, maybe because he is an optimist who is directly related, his words can always avoid your pain points and lead you in a good direction.

"There is one more afternoon, I hope there is enough time." Glancing at his watch, "I want to be willful for a while, will you accompany me?"

"My time is yours, Chairman, remember to pay me. Well, superhero salary is double, but do you get a roller coaster?" Barry's tone was very cheerful, "My God, I wanted to be so reconciled so long ago." You have a conversation, you don't know that I admire you so much, all your reports I..."

Jacob just looked at Barry with a smile, listening to his tone get faster and faster, barely panting as he didn't interrupt.In the end, there were no sentence breaks, but the processing speed of his brain was able to keep up with Barry's sentences, and even because he focused on Barry's sentences, he put a lot of troublesome things behind him.

"Um, I'm sorry I seemed to speak too fast." Halfway through the speech, Barry realized what he had done after seeing Jacob's expression, "I think you probably didn't hear most of it." Super aggrieved expression.

"I'm listening," Jacob looked at Barry, "You mentioned molecular conversion, my thesis two years ago, but now I have improved it a lot, and the assumptions you said are correct."

"Did you hear that?" Barry's eyes widened. "That's cool, I mean, you're the first one to keep up with me. I don't mean anything other than that sometimes I talk too fast, often It was interrupted at the beginning. I didn't say they were too much, I just couldn't control it."

"Glad I understand," Jacob smiled. "Let's go."

"where to?"

"We spent an afternoon listening to you and visiting my collection."

"Wow, that's pretty cool."

[Steady,] Sis said in his head, [Mr. Allen really works.I suggest that you often communicate with him in the future. I don't feel the slightest malice from him, and he even cares about you. ] paused, 【Which base do you want to take him to? 】

"Headquarters is fine."

"what?"

"I said, take you to the ST headquarters."
