[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

Sometimes Selinya blames herself for how poor her language is.

Perhaps it was because during that too long period of time, no one would listen to her, and no one was willing to listen to her; as a result, in many moments, Selinya's emotions rushed to the forefront, but it was difficult for her to accurately Summarize what you are thinking.

Just like the moment she felt her eyes sore in the Avengers Building, Selinya couldn't explain what her emotions came from.

Because in a very broad perception, magical creatures are not worthy of human emotions.

— Just like they don't think ants have feelings.

No elder could explain to Selinya why she had so many different and complicated psychological fluctuations.

Selinya clutched the ribbon in her hair, looked at the people in front of her, and stared blankly for a long time.

"Thank you, thank you?"

Like a cat pawing at a ball of hair, Selinya also struggled to find out her language organization ability. She handed the flower in her hand to Dick in a daze, "Mr. Dick too——Happy birthday."

...Well, it can be seen that she is still confused.

Barbara couldn't help lowering her head and coughing to hide her smile.

Dick wiped the ribbons that floated on his body casually, and stuffed the flower bouquet into his arms with a smile, "It's so beautiful, did you plant it yourself this time?"

"This time—" Selinya stretched her arms back without looking back, and forcibly pulled Jason standing behind her, "I planted it with him!"

Jason: "..."

? ?Who planted it? ?I just watered the fuck a few times! !And aren't these all spawned by you with magic!

But whether it was intentional or not, Dick was completely undisturbed by Jason's silent roar, and still came over and patted Jason on the back, "Thanks, Jay."

Jason fell silent, but didn't move away.

Alfred and Bruce walked in at this time.

In this silent moment, they watched this scene, almost thinking that time had not passed.

It seems that many things are still stuck in a long time ago——

After hearing footsteps, Jason glanced back.

The glance was quick, and the expression didn't seem to change drastically, but the suddenly bulging arm muscles showed that his nerves were tense.

and great patience.

Bruce Wayne suddenly recalled that piece of audio that has been under layers of encryption until now.

"..."

Although Ah Fu left temporarily on the grounds of 'going to get a teacup'.But in fact, under repeated inspections, this kind of missing things will not happen at all.

But lying should not be called the characteristic of an English gentleman.

So Alfred he-

By the way, I brought some other things over.

"Family album?" The moment she heard this keyword, Selina poked her head in an instant.It's Curious Cat.

"Yes." Ah Fu replied, "I'm preparing to put it in the study."

"Well—" Selinya's eyes unconsciously glanced over, looking again and again.

Obviously just curious.

So Dick took the photo album and flipped through it cooperatively, "Oh my God, it turned out to be this photo album——"

He looked specifically at Jason, leaning in his direction, "Do you still remember this photo?"

Jason instantly recognized when it came from: "..."

Damn, are you going to turn over my dark history today! !Don't think I won't beat you up because today is your birthday! !

He subconsciously grabbed Selina backwards, but Barbara had already silently beckoned to the little girl, and pulled the girl over to have a closer look.

The well-preserved photographs vividly capture what Jason was like before.

He looked younger than when Selina saw him for the first time.The body is also thinner.It seems that he has just experienced an intense activity, and he is looking back at the camera impatiently, his eyebrows are furrowed tightly.

Dick lowered his voice and explained to Serenya very softly, "This is after Jason's first training."

Selina nodded, "Well——"

Dick continued to flip backwards, and Selinya saw another side of the extended family.Lively and vivid, everyone is no longer just suppressed in the dark, but squeezed together warmly.

'...' So Selinya couldn't help but think, the photo is really a very great invention.

Time will grow old day by day, and there are too many unexpected future trends, but people's memories, and these photos that retain a memory, will still stay in the moment that no one will forget.

They went through wars and went through life and death, and they also remembered each other's original appearance deep in their hearts.

"This is the first time I entered the Wayne Manor garage and couldn't help but take pictures..."

...Although so many years have passed, Dick can still recall the shock he felt when he saw that garage.

Flying Boy from the circus even blurted out: "Is this a private garage or a car museum?"

He wasn't quite used to being adopted by Bruce at the time—

'I'm not ready to be adopted by you';

'But these cars are amazing, too'.

"This is Tibbo who nearly fell down the stairs after staying up all night—"

"Hey! Grayson!" came the protest immediately.Tim stared at Dick to keep him from talking, and handed two glasses of juice to Selene and Barbara.

Bruce reconfirmed that what Afu brought was the photo album belonging to the children.

"Okay, okay, let's change another one," Dick flipped back while shaking his shoulders, and he found another photo of Jason, "This is..."

After recalling the day this photo was taken, Dick's expression froze instantly, and even his voice stopped.

"..."

Selina looked over.

Compared to the first photo, Jason is clearly more relaxed and happier in this one.He was wearing a Robin uniform, and not even a domino mask could completely hide his proud expression.

"..." That was before Jason's first official night watch as Robin.

He declared with particular pride 'this is my happiest day ever. '

"This is the best day of my life."

But after that day, not too long later, Jason...

Dick closed the album subconsciously, as if he was staying away from the ending, he looked at Serenia and asked, "ummm——we have prepared a BBQ, I don't know if you will like it."

"..." Celinya felt that the atmosphere was not right, but she hesitated and didn't ask, just nodded.But his eyes quickly fell on Jason.

Jason didn't speak, and looked at Selinya indifferently, biting the ice cubes poured into his mouth from the cup and making crackling noises.

The reason for choosing barbecue is simple——

After all, you don't even need to guess, Serenia must have eaten a lot of cakes in Fulian Building.

Then it must be changed to a more suitable party theme.

BBQ is a great idea that usually can't go wrong. ——Of course they didn't forget to prepare desserts such as small cakes to match the atmosphere.

For Serinya, [outdoor barbecue] is a particularly unfamiliar concept.

She expanded her associations, and felt... It sounds like it should be similar to the fires and barbecues built by those brave men who went out, right?

"Is it out on the lawn?"

On the way to Wayne Manor, Selinya had already seen the outdoor fountain and the huge and well-groomed lawn.

——Before this, Selinya had seen the most luxurious manor, which came from the nobles who raised her.

The little girl who grew up in a small room was led out to see the manor outside for the first time when she was five years old.How shocking she would be at that time... It is simply conceivable.

The only window in the room could not see the environment in the manor, so Selinya couldn't imagine that the outside world just separated by a wall in that room was such a luxurious world made of gold and silver.

But if there is a comparison of "where is the money?", Serenia feels that Wayne Manor definitely wins.

"Ah no," Dick shook his head. "It's not there. The lawn is considered an ornamental area. Let's go to other places."

Selina was startled, with a confused expression on her face.

"Well—" Tim explained slowly, "because, after all, we have a bigger back garden?"

"?" At this moment, Selinya didn't have a clear understanding of the 'back garden' that Tim said.

But when she saw the back garden that could almost be called 'a mountain', Selinya took a deep breath: "...Okay."

Okay, so rich.

I know rich people are happy.

But I didn't expect that rich people are so happy...

For Jason, joining an [outdoor barbecue] was more difficult than having him attend a normal birthday party.

After all, if it's the latter, then he can tuck himself into a corner to reduce interaction; while the former—

"Jason," Dick called out loudly, "pass me the black pepper!"

... As for the former, he couldn't pretend he didn't hear it.

At most it was throwing the black pepper bottle in Dick's face.

Ah.

Jason flipped through the roast chicken in his hand expressionlessly. It didn't look like he was roasting meat - it was quite credible to say that the red hood roasted people on the street.

He glanced back and saw Serinya was brushing the sauce. The little girl was shaking the brush with a serious expression, as if trying to ensure that every stroke would be accurate to the gram.

In fact, Selinya is more rigorous than she shows.

'system! ' She kept calling out to the system, trying to use his detection function to ensure that she didn't make a mistake, "Is this okay? Is there too little seasoning..."

"Yes." The system replied helplessly.

A little aggrieved.After all, when the host was on a mission, he never asked for his opinion so frequently.

——So his position is actually a nanny!

"It's great!" Barbara, who was sitting on the side, also emphasized to Selinya.

Apart from the news that she had heard during the mission, this was actually the first time Selina met Barbara.

There's no maladaptive strangeness—

Dick felt that it was only a short time when he looked back a little, and the girls were already familiar with chatting together in a low voice.

...It was not a surprise.

After all, the girls adore her—even Hela, the goddess of death, and Poison Ivy.

But the premise of all this is that Selina also likes them very much.

Selinya feels that Barbara and Jessica are somewhat similar. They are both souls who have been bound but will not admit defeat because of it.

"This biscuit is very delicious." Seeing the cautious expression on the little girl's face when she was brushing the sauce, Barbara held back and dragged her to the dessert area, "Would you like to try it?"

Desserts are like cats to Serinya.

While sharing biscuits with Barbara, she looked curiously at another plate beside her, "What is that? Is it sweet porridge?"

"...It's waffles," Barbara silently pulled Selinya away, and at the same time issued a warning, "It's best not to try it."

...Alfred's Cookies are a treasure trove of recognition and admiration.

But in the meantime, his waffles—

#Don't come near#

#Really not delicious#

That wasn't even technically a biscuit, but more like some sort of sticky, solid-liquid... batter?

One of the most vivid examples:

...Anyway, more than [-] years ago, when the young master Tony, who came to visit, tasted Alfred waffles for the first time, he immediately blacked out British cuisine for several years.

"??" This comment made Celinya couldn't help but look back at the waffles a few more times.

——Many times, Selinya always has some strange curiosity and desire to explore.

Fortunately, Barbara stopped in time, and Tim's silently pushing the cake interrupted his train of thought.

This [Outdoor BBQ] left an unforgettable impression on Serinya.

The corn wrapped in honey juice is roasted sweet, the biscuits stuffed in the hand are very delicious, and most importantly——

——The heat of the flames rushed over everyone's hair, wrapped in fragrance, and the ordinary smell of fireworks rubbed into their hair.

It seemed that they were all wrapped in this heat and became warm.

The darkness or coldness that I had experienced before turned into the cold wind blowing past my ears, curled around the hem of my clothes, and disappeared in an instant.

"..." Jason tried to push the cup in his hand to Selinya, refusing to accept his fate of being made into juice.

Acting like he was a kid.

And Selinya, as always, firmly does not think that 'cool guys can't eat sweets'.Fighting Jason very persistently.

Until Bruce's voice sounded, "Jason."

"..." Jason's body stiffened visibly.

"..." Bruce Wayne thought for a long time how to word it.

He slowly sat down next to Jason, just as he had done the first time - Batman sat next to the Crime Alley boys.

Looking at Jason, Bruce wanted to talk about the red hood, the inner confession he blurted out when he was emotional, and even asked how the two children survived in Gotham, or told each other, Jason Tao Germany has always been his pride...

Although there was a lot to say, Bruce was silent for a long time.

Jason didn't look up, maintaining a very deliberate posture not to look at him.

Instead, Selina has been staring at them silently.

In the end, Bruce lightly touched the rim of Jason's cup with the cup in his hand, and said only one sentence, "You've grown up."

The kid who would be proud to wear Robin's uniform while they're away, has grown up.

"..." Jason gripped the cup tightly in his hand until his knuckles protruded.

There was a light 'da' sound of glass hitting, and it was Selina who also touched Jason with the glass in her hand.

His fingers loosened subconsciously.

"Oh! Are you clinking glasses to celebrate!" Dick's voice came from afar, "We can't leave us alone!"

So many things really happened this year, all kinds of lucky or bad.

But everything has been sealed in the past with a sound of crisp impact.

Spring has begun.

A new future has also begun.

"Mr. Dick—" Before the BBQ was almost over, Selina found a chance to give her present, "This is for you."

In the palm of Dick's hand was a small blue animal made of paper.

Dick accepted it in surprise, "Did you fold it yourself? Great progress."

I don't think it's crude or childish at all.

... Not enough. In fact, he is a little guilty. Although he enlightened Celinya's origami career, in fact, Dick himself can only fold simple origami cranes...

"Yes," Sailinya said, reaching out and flicking the little animal's head lightly, "it can—"

Following Selinya's movement, there was a 'bang', and the origami bounced off Dick's hands.

Moving slowly as if alive, he raised his head.

It was... a blue dragon about the size of an adult's fist.Light and airy, it doesn't seem to have any weight.

Standing blankly in the palm of Dick's hand, he was poked on the head by the other party in a daze, and fell down pitifully.

"This is—a dragon?" Dick was so confused that he couldn't find his voice, "Dragon?"

"Actually, I'm still origami, and I don't have the ability to think independently," Selinya explained, "I'm also afraid of fire and water..."

This is the role of Spiritual Words. When Selinya wants a dragon, even if she only has a piece of paper, she can still get what she wants.

Something like Doctor Strange's butterfly?It's just a more tangible and convenient version.

"I'm not very proficient yet—" Serenya added shyly, "so I can only do it to this extent."

Celinya squeezed Xiaolong's back, looked at Dick and continued, "But it's fine for viewing..."

Dick: "Only?"

No, no, this is not "only" at all, okay? !

Looking at the blue dragon running joyfully up his arm, Dick said, "Oh my God——"

This is not "only" at all! !That's pretty cool too! !

Jason: "..."

He subconsciously thought about his own birthday.August [-]th - so damn far away.

Tim looked at Jason understandingly, 'Then I'm still in September! '

Celinya: "If you want to restore it to its original state, you can just flatten it."

Dick: "...um."

Then I think, although my house is quite small, I can still support it.

After leaving Wayne Manor, Selina spent a very, very long time unwrapping the gifts she received.

Although there are barriers between the nine realms of God's Domain, they also have ways to communicate——

And Doctor Strange is definitely a very good courier in God's Domain.

Perhaps he had notified Asgard of those places in advance, so Selinya also saw the gift from God's Domain in his package.

Saul sent a few books - which surprised Serenia, after all, it didn't look like Thor's style at all.

However, Selinya quickly found the note written by Saul in the book, explaining that it was a suggestion from the Queen of God in rough but familiar fonts.Thor searched through all the libraries in Asgard before finding these almost lonely books.

It records the past deeds of many gods, as well as the distant history of the domain of God, and even the wider field.

——This is really very useful for Xiaoyan spiritual masters.

Selinya couldn't even bear to put it down, and unwrapped other gifts while flipping through them.

Unbelievably, there is also a package from the evil god Loki.

After opening it, a dusty stone rolled out of the package.With edges and corners, the surface is also uneven and rough.

"...The story of Voldemort tells us, don't touch the strange-looking magic stone casually." Seeing that the host wanted to study the stone, the system immediately emphasized.

But the moment Selinya's fingertips touched the gray stone, the data in the system was stuck.

And Selina was also stunned.

Because at the moment of touching, the gray stone suddenly erupted with a faint soft light, enveloping the entire room.

As far away as the night, the light is a bit cold.But when it shines, it keeps burning itself for a moment.

"This is—" Selinya murmured incredulously, "a star?"

System: "... After analyzing the collected data, yes."

Grass.That's great.

Under the stars, Selinya looked up at the gifts crowded around her.

There is a bear doll from Bucky, a painting from Steve, and a portable weapon from Natasha——

There are too many presents.So many that she had to temporarily coax the snow wolves outside to prevent them from accidentally stepping on something.

And what she got... got...

Got too much love too.

It seems that it will overflow in the next second.

Apart from the window in the room, Selinya also had access to the outside world through occasional banquets.

...wouldn't be a nice touch.

What human would want to make friends with a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?

But occasionally—occasionally, Selina would hear the conversations of other noble children.

Once she heard them discussing a house party.

It's a high-ranking comparison, showing off what the elders in the family have given to themselves, probably mentioning 'gem' or 'magic wand' two or three times in each sentence... In short, the more items that can show status, the number of occurrences more and more.

Only children can belittle others and elevate themselves so confidently.Adults use words and metaphors.

But through their descriptions, Selinya has a little more basis for her imagination about the vague concept of "home".Carefully bury a secret in my heart like a hidden treasure.

——After so many years, Selina finally has the precious opportunity that other people take for granted.

She had the opportunity...to feel what "home" is.

Selinya carefully put away every gift, and before she had finished this long work, she heard two light knocks on the glass.

Subconsciously looking up, she saw Mr. Superman floating outside the window.

"!"

How should I put it, in fact, this scene is quite surprising and also quite... horrifying.

At ten o'clock at night, I opened the curtains and saw a man hanging in the air outside - the system data flow slipped, and I almost wanted to match this scene with a bgm from a horror movie.

Selina hurriedly opened the window.

"Happy birthday." Standing outside the window, Clark stretched out his hand to Selinya, "Do you want to watch the sunrise together?"

Celinya was taken aback, "But now—"

A night without the sun.

"Yeah," Superman nodded with a smile, "so we're going somewhere a-- a little farther away."

"Interested?" he asked.

Just like the little prince can watch 612 sunsets in one day on planet B44.

Then of course Superman can find a planet where he can see 44 sunrises in one day.

From the moment it approaches the sun, [Card Helios] automatically turns on the protection mode.

Let Selinya not be affected by high temperature and cosmic environment.

"..." After longing for Icarus for so long, Selinya certainly imagined what the sun would look like.

Many times.

She has also seen in detail the vast amount of research this world has done on the sun.

But those words and those imaginations are nothing compared to witnessing this moment.

The sun looked like magic—no, the most high-end magic that Selinya had ever seen shocked her even more.

It is the irresistible, irresistible light that can illuminate all.

It is completely sweeping cognition, unstoppably filling all Selinya's imagination and all yearning.

The high-saturation color is so rich that it seems that it will flow in the next second, enveloping them.

Then Celinya thought, she really likes the sun.

She has experienced many times of training in the Colosseum, and she has survived until now, but it does not mean that she can retreat unscathed every time.

There are many times—

She almost died there too.

Luckily for her, she'd be dragged into a weapons cache to fend for herself.

Although it has been defined as a weapon of "investment failure", it has been cultivated and invested by a large number of precious books after all.The nobles certainly didn't want her to die too easily.

A large amount of blood loss will bring dizziness after another, and it also makes Selinya feel her body is getting colder and colder.

She was lying on the cold ground, looking at the sun through the slit in the window.The sun is still far away and warm.

So she stubbornly hid a little flame symbolizing freedom and the sun in her heart, making the whole world and herself less cold.

—she wants to live.

And she also succeeded in relying on that little bit of light to be able to encounter this world.

"..." Super vision allowed Clark to see Selinya's hands shaking.

Superman could also see that there was a flash of light hidden in her eyes, and she worked hard to suppress and control her expression.

"The surface temperature of the sun is about 5500°C," Clark said suddenly. He didn't look down at Selinya again, but just looked at the cosmic stars and continued, "It can evaporate liquid instantly."

so.won't be discovered.

"..." Selinya wanted to restrain herself, but her eyelashes were instantly dazzled by the uncontrollable tears, but they were immediately evaporated by the high temperature.

Does crying help?

No.Any emotional outburst is useless when no one will respond.

Crying can also accelerate physical loss and increase the possibility of death.

So then don't cry.

—Nobody taught Selina this.

But she has figured out this matter by herself as death approached again and again.

But now, once in a while, a little indulgence, it doesn't matter.

She has her own teammates now, she is safe.

The sun has come for her.

So is freedom.

So is the family.

Everything she ever wanted—has come to her this way.

"..." Clark patted Selina's hair silently.

They stayed in the universe for a long time, and in Selinya's memory, she couldn't count exactly how many times she had seen the sunrise.

But after sending Selina home, Clark remembered comforting the girl, "In high temperature, the liquid evaporates really fast."

So he didn't see anything, don't worry.

"...Well." Selina answered him sullenly.

"Host." After watching Superman leave, the system endured for a whole day, and finally seized this rare and precious opportunity to say, "You haven't received my gift yet."

In the background of the system, the data symbolizing the gift box is automatically transmitted, "Happy birthday to you."

"Congratulations, you are an adult today."

The girl who regards herself as the savior has finally found a world where she can relax.

Very complicated data is constantly surging, and Serenya heard frequent 'upgrade reminders', 'backpack expansion reminders', 'point increase reminders' and the last sentence——

【Ding--】

[Special mission, 'The World of Hades' has been triggered]
