[Comprehensive British and American] Backbones League

Salas didn't go home immediately, he walked around casually, and a certain mysterious person came to the school.

Maybe the soul also has instincts, some things are engraved in his soul, and even the body moves accordingly.

Probably because his arrival disturbed the spider lying in the school, after a while, he heard the sound of the wind being broken.

Spider-Man landed on the ground, he was a little surprised when he saw Salas for a second.

Salas twisted his body. He had only seen Peter in a normal state these days, and Peter didn't know his latest villain's body yet.

So he didn't reveal his identity immediately, but raised his head slightly, showing an evil smile: "This little friend..."

"Magician?" Who knew that Peter didn't show any face at all, and directly revealed his identity.

Salas's face was slightly down, but he was a little happy in his heart.

Lucifer had teased him earlier, saying that Peter was the thread he wanted to grab, but that thread was too thin.

He admitted that part of what Lucifer said was correct, but not completely correct. He would not think about grabbing any spider silk. He knew exactly what kind of person he was. Batman couldn't save him, and neither could Peter Parker. He couldn't do it, he contacted Peter, maybe because Peter was the only person he knew who didn't have a deep connection with the Batman, but belonged to the bright side.

Occasionally, he wants to get in touch with those superheroes normally, without prejudice and selfishness, let alone superfluous emotions, without deliberate pretense and deceit, and can show his true nature normally.

That's the freedom he wanted.

Seeing that Peter recognized him at this moment, his heart calmed down instantly.

Evoking a tiny smile, he raised his brows, still not serious.

"Long time no see, Spider-Man." He raised his hand to greet Peter, "How did you recognize me?"

Peter didn't answer his question, and the first thing he said subconsciously was: "You have changed another body? What about your last body, and it broke again?"

Peter frowned slightly, and there was a trace of disapproval in his eyes, but it is not known whether this disapproval was for the fact that Salas abandoned his body itself, or he always did something dangerous enough to need to abandon his body.

Salas blinked and didn't answer, then Peter came back to his senses, remembering that the person in front of him was a villain, he immediately said, "What do you want to do here?"

"Come here casually." Salas turned his head slightly, "You haven't answered me yet, how did you know it was mine just now?"

"I just... just thought of it all of a sudden." Peter was easily distracted by Salas, and he touched his head with some doubts. In fact, he didn't know how he recognized it, probably because he saw Salas The unscrupulous smile, blessed to the soul, suddenly knew who he was.

Of all the people Peter knew, only Salas could smile at him that way.

He explained this to Salas, and Salas actually thought it made sense. The spider from New York probably hasn't seen so many lunatics in Gotham. After all, New York has more serious villains.

Thinking about it, Salas laughed: "It seems that there are not so many perverts around you."

"This should be a good thing." After pondering for a while, Peter heard the man calling himself a pervert.

He often couldn't understand the villains of Gotham, and they were perverted and triumphant, as if their twisted minds were something to be proud of.

"What are you doing recently?" Salas continued to ask. Of course he knew Peter's recent behavior in school. After all, they were basically together, but Peter didn't appear at night recently.

This is entirely because after Peter was kidnapped once, Tony was very angry and ran over to quarrel with Bruce. After the incident, Bruce asked him to stay with Salas wholeheartedly and stop getting involved in Gotham's affairs.

Of course Peter was not that obedient, but when he thought that Salas might be in danger because of him, he thought it was better to forget it.

He didn't tell Salas about this. Salas was a little absent-minded recently, as if he was troubled by something, but he didn't want to tell him.

What Peter is busy with recently is to find opportunities to make Salas less painful.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell these words to the magician in front of him, after all, he didn't know that Salas was a magician.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Salas didn't continue to ask. After all, it was a complete accident that he came here, and it was just the result of his unstable mentality after meeting Jason tonight.

So he said a few words and was about to leave.

But Peter stopped him: "You don't seem to be very happy?"

Peter asked tentatively.

Salas stopped and waved his hands: "Kids should go to bed early, or else they will doze off in class tomorrow."

"?!" Peter's pupils trembled, his expression a little surprised, "You know..."

"Hush—" Salas stopped him from continuing, "Don't ask."

"Okay." After knowing that Salas had seen through his true identity, Peter actually felt that this was not a strange thing. After all, he felt that the other party already knew his identity last time. Since the other party did not reveal this secret , should not have this plan.

During this period of time spent with the villains of Gotham, Peter has roughly figured out one of the characteristics of the villains of Gotham, that is, they each have their own criminal habits that they will definitely stick to.

The characteristic of the one in front of him is probably arrogance, yes, arrogance, Peter has felt the arrogance spontaneously emanating from him since he got along with the magician.

Coldness and arrogance are his attitude towards life.

This attitude is also very clear when facing Peter. He tolerates Peter as if he is tolerating a novelty toy, so he probably doesn't bother to actively expose Peter's identity.

"You seem very upset." Peter asked again, with a little test, but it was not to test him to ask questions, but to test Salas's attitude.

"Maybe." Salas said vaguely, "Are there many happy things in this world?"

He turned around again and looked at Peter with a half-smile, his eyes were frivolous, as if mocking the ridiculous question Peter asked.

Peter thought about it. He felt that there are many happy things in this world. Putting together a Lego, touching the cat in the shop on his way to school, is something that makes people very happy. matter.

It's just that the people in front of him don't think so.

Thinking about it, Peter felt a little pitiful for this man, because he didn't even know how to make himself happy.

"Don't show that face to the bad guy," Salas said suddenly.

"What kind of expression?" Peter was taken aback, and asked without thinking.

"It's that kind of expression of 'this person is too pitiful'." Salas's face turned cold, not very obvious, but while maintaining a smile, his eyes were cold, "Your parents didn't tell you, never treat Does the villain have sympathy? This will annoy the villain, because the villain will not appreciate your pity, he will only think that this person is very happy, so he will give mercy from above, he hates pity, and even more hates the happiness of others. He can't help but think, I'm going to pull this person down from heaven, and when the darkness infiltrates his body, he won't have mercy on me."

He spoke softly, but what he said was completely distorted.

The darkness in Salas' words was shocking. This was the first time Peter heard someone tell him what a villain thought, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

And the person opposite him seemed to let go, and continued: "Do you understand? The bad guy is such a terrifying existence, he doesn't like to be pitied, especially the mercy given by those who are in the light, because he can't Get better. It is best for everyone in the world to sink like him, that is his greatest wish."

He thought so, and maybe the Joker thought so too.

But he is different from the clown, the clown thinks that everything in this world is dark, he wants to prove that human nature itself is distorted, and everyone will fall into hell, so that it can be taken for granted why they become villains-yes Because this world is not good enough, it hurts them.

He doesn’t think so, he admits the beauty of this world, admits that there are good people and good qualities in this world—it’s because he doesn’t like it, he can’t do it, so he becomes like this—he doesn’t like beauty— —No one asks everyone in this world to like good things, especially when those good things do not belong to them.

Yes, he has so many good things, which come from the love of his relatives, but he still feels that it does not belong to him.

He has no beauty of his own.

Salas sometimes wonders himself. Those villains have their own reasons for being villains. Jason chose this path because he had the experience of being resurrected after death. Penguin is because of his deformed body. There is "had a bad day".

As if only he, only he twisted in normal love.

Oh yes, he had crippled legs, but to be honest, Salas never cared much about those legs.

He's not even extreme, he can think normally...

But he just wanted to do those things.

Could there be another person like him in this world?None, including Jason, who aroused his emotions the most, they were all similar but different.

He is so unique even as a villain.

Peter was so overwhelmed by the darkness in his eyes that he even felt that this person was more frightening than the last time he saw it, as if something pulled him further into the depths of hell.

The last time I saw him, his tone of voice and actions seemed to be not too different from now, but last time, Peter could really feel the kind of wanton joy from him, and now...

It seems that something has been pressed on him, preventing him from gaining the freedom of the past even as a villain.

And loneliness.

He was not so lonely before, it seemed that at this moment, he suddenly realized that he was the only one.

"Magician..." Peter subconsciously called Salas's name.

That's probably why Tony and Bruce told him not to get too involved with the villain of Gotham, he felt the sadness of the villain in front of him.

Peter's emotions were also aroused by him, and he was a little at a loss. He knew that he shouldn't listen to what Salas said, but he had already listened.

Salas looked at him, saw the sadness aroused by him in Peter's eyes, understood that his words had infected Peter, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Sometimes he feels that those superheroes are always so ridiculous, and they can still radiate sympathy for a villain, as if kindness is their instinct.

Salas especially disdained this instinct.

"I just said it casually." He said to Peter, and then restrained his breath.

The Count of Monte Cristo, the avenger, naturally has the aura of returning from hell, and that aura can not only infect him, but also those around him.

Salas felt that he had chosen the right body, but also the wrong one. The revenge attribute of this body was so strong that it could affect his mentality, but he could clearly feel that this body was the most suitable for him. he.

"I'm just talking about it." He said to Peter again, he raised his head slightly, and smiled at Peter, as if to say, 'you can listen to what I'm talking about'.

But Peter felt stuffy in his heart, not knowing what to say or what to say.

Salas smiled at him, talking casually, as if it was really just casual talking.

Peter opened his mouth, wanting to reply him a word, but hesitated and hesitated, still didn't know what to say.

Unfortunately, he is not like Salas, and he will never fully understand Salas.

Salas waved his hand: "I'm leaving, go back to sleep."

Seeing the back of Salas about to leave, Peter blurted out something that should not have been said: "If you are too lonely, find someone like you."

"If you don't find it, keep looking," Peter said. "There's always someone who feels for you..."

sad.
