Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

The black panther that brought Carl joy seems to have inspired Alexander. He didn't restrict Carl's activities very much, and he also acquiesced to Carl's curious behavior of exploring the surrounding environment. Now, he is completely encouraging Carl wanders the mountains.

He wasn't with Karl, apparently not.

No matter what kind of messages he released from the tiny cameras and cloaking devices, Alexander remained non-participating and non-blocking in all of Carl's decisions.

He let Karl do anything, recorded Karl's mood changes and facial expressions, the energy operation mode in his body and his growth trajectory, and his degree of care and deliberation was by no means inferior to that of researchers treating their most precious experimental subjects.

This analogy seems a little wrong, but it is indeed difficult for Alexander to grasp the thing called "emotion" in his body.He does have feelings, no doubt about it, it's just that those feelings are so rare that most of the time they are indistinguishable from nonexistent.

Alexander is also trying to make himself more like a human being. He only needs to enter enough anthropological data, and his ability to imitate emotions can be perfected. However, all imitations and disguises will not work in front of Karl, and Karl's attitude towards him is very subtle.

Sometimes Karl depends on him like a brother, and sometimes Karl tires of him like an old toy.

The appearance of this black panther made Alexander realize what Karl needed. He needed a playmate "of the same age", a pet, or a friend.

And Alexander couldn't do that.

He was very confused, logic could not explain the partiality of Karl's attitude, there should indeed be some kind of magical factor in it, it was something that he couldn't feel but Karl could feel that separated him from Karl.

Carl took his panther to discover a new nest of wild rabbits, and took out the pine cones and melon seeds hidden by the squirrels from the tree hole.

Occasionally he would go to a more distant place, and then run back thousands of miles; he learned to swim in the nearby lake without a teacher, and drove the otters and ducks that lived by the lake to run around.

The panther was inseparable from Carl.

When Karl is not tired of being around it, it lies on a certain high ground, scanning the surroundings with its cold golden eyes alertly, alerting possible enemies that may appear.

Enemies do appear, but mostly herbivores: antelope, elk, bison.They passed by the forest near the cornfield leisurely, and there was nothing weird except that they were caught and teased by Karl.

The most dangerous enemy is a huge brown bear, wriggling its fat buttocks and walking clumsily towards the lake to drink water.

Carl was chasing a diving duck in the water, and the panther stood up from the branch, staring at the brown bear intently, pacing anxiously, not sure what to do—fortunately, the brown bear left soon , its back disappeared for a long time before Karl emerged from the water.

Not long after, Alexander discovered that the panther, named Kitten, was teaching Cal to hunt.

It will violently jump up and down the branches, pounce on Karl from a high place, or approach Karl quietly from behind with the cover of corn stalks, lower its body, accumulate power, and then launch an explosive ambush.

Carl always fell for it at first, even though the Panther's stealth never worked against him.Soon, however, Carl realizes that this is the kitten and his new game, and that when the kitten jumps at him, he needs to dodge and fight back instead of giggling and opening his arms to it.

And after Karl realizes this, even Alexander will admit that these game-like romps are full of hunting skills and are extremely valuable to watch.

On the day of the accident, Karl was chasing prey with the panther.

It was a strong goat who lived with his herd on a small adjacent grassland.The black panther is the only dangerous creature in the nearby area, and because Carl does not hunt frequently, the goats are very slack in the absence of natural enemies. The kitten has already sneaked to a position less than two meters away from the prey, and the goat is still there. I am leisurely chewing fresh green grass, unaware of danger.

Carl held his breath, excitedly waiting for the kitten's fatal blow.

At this moment, some kind of strange power suddenly erupted from him, and he was caught off guard. It felt like being slapped hard by a thorny vine, causing Karl to cry out in pain.

Time warped around his body, but it was not obvious, the silent change started in the smallest detail and eventually spread to everything, Karl didn't realize what happened.

He only saw the goat startled by his cry, and then found the black panther that was close at hand, and jumped away from the spot with a kick of its hind legs, and before it escaped completely, the black panther stopped hiding and burst into a rage. He chased after him, and escaped from Karl's sight like a whirlwind.

"Kitty!" Carl yelled.

He felt that he was in pain. Such intense pain could not be described by him who was only two years old. His chest was itchy and stuffy, and his footsteps were particularly heavy in the discomfort of his body, but none of these could stop him from walking towards the black panther. Chasing in the same direction, unable to stop him from approaching his friend.

"Kitty!" He called again, feeling a strange taste in his mouth and feeling a little tired.

He didn't notice that everything around him was trembling and twisting, but it wasn't from space, it was from time.

Red afterimages and yellow flashes surrounded him at some point, making Karl unable to see the way ahead. He turned his head angrily, opened his eyes wide, and caught a young man's face in the mixed lines of red and yellow. figure.

"Damn it!" the young man scolded, "Why did you make a mistake again! It's not this world line!"

"Who are you?" Carl asked.

He tried to open his eyes to see more clearly, because his teeth were not fully formed yet, and he spoke with an indistinct milky voice.He also noticed it himself, and couldn't help pursing his mouth in annoyance, making up his mind not to say more.

"My God!" The young man also noticed Carl, who looked terrified. "Who are you... oh! Look at those eyes... I know who you are. Hello, young Clark .”

Who is Clark?Carl thought, I'm not Clark.

But he kept in mind that he could no longer expose his empty gums, so he just pursed his mouth and said nothing.

"I'm Barry, Barry Allen, one of your best friends in the future, your most reliable partner." The man who called himself Barry said, smiling at Carl in a friendly manner, his face hard to hide his tiredness, "Okay Now, I have to go, there are still tasks to be completed, see you in the future..."

The red and golden light became more intense and merged, gradually turning into a soft pearly white.

Barry disappeared in front of the young Karl with this burst of white light. What happened just now was like a hallucination. Before Karl had time to wonder, he caught a deep black in the corner of his eyes.

black!

As soon as he regained his energy, he immediately forgot about Barry and concentrated on searching for traces of the kitten.

The afterimages and lightning that blocked his sight all left with Barry, but what Karl saw in his eyes were still large areas of fuzzy color blocks, and the labyrinth-like undulating walls and shadows formed a surreal picture, pain The feeling became stronger and clearer, and Karl couldn't help showing a painful expression.

He coughed a few times and swallowed the extra salty-sweet liquid in his mouth.

Where did the kitten go?Obviously the kitten was still a few steps away last second, and obviously they were still catching goats together not long ago.

Things had come to this point, even though Karl was only two years old, it was clear that something was wrong.

He darted left and right among the colorful blocks in a daze, for a while he was attracted by a large ocean-like blue, and for a while he was distracted by the crimson magma; Changed into different forms above his head; all kinds of people walked by his side, changed from babies to old people, and rose from coffins...

The grotesque scenery alternated endlessly and came back again and again. Carl gradually became a little scared, and gradually changed from being only a little scared to being very scared.

"Brother!" he yelled, "Brother!"

He turned around in a circle and looked around, but Alexander, who was always responsive in the past, did not appear this time.

"...Brother?" He hesitated and called out again, before trotting nervously.He opened his eyes wide, looking for those transparent little bugs that would never leave him in mid-air, he knew that Alexander could see him through those bugs, as long as the little bugs were by his side, it proved that his brother was also around him.

But this time he didn't find those transparent bugs.

"Mom!" he yelled.

"Daddy!" he yelled again.

No one answered his call, and no one answered.

The flow of people kept coming towards Karl, drowning him, and passing through him to the distant place, leaving him standing alone.

Carl gradually couldn't walk anymore, his sore limbs made him unable to walk, but what made him unable to walk the most was not the pain, but the scarlet liquid that kept gushing out of his mouth.He had seen the liquid on kitten prey, and knew how the goats, hares, and fawns slowly died of life when the red liquid was gone, and they became the kitten's food.

Am I going to be kitten food too?He thought, his mind was a little muddled, and he only vaguely remembered walking towards the place where he thought the kitten was.

The chaos surrounding Karl began to subside, and the order of time was being rebuilt. Alexander's figure chased after Karl, but Karl, who was walking staggeringly, did not see it.

His bright blue eyes became lifeless, his ruddy face became pale, blood stains remained at the corners of his lips, and a large piece of blood soaked his chest.

Even so, Karl's footsteps still did not stop.

He walked forward tenaciously, got up when he fell, and rested on his knees when he was too tired to continue.As he travels through time, Alexander flashes from all sides of him, calling his name, but Karl never hears him.

A black shadow passed over his head, and Karl raised his head abruptly in shock.

He vaguely saw a pair of pointed ears.

"Kitty!" he yelled, rushing up.
