She was drawn back to her body by the scent of flowers.

Weier sniffled and smelled a light and faint fragrance. Something was pressing on the top of her head. She reached out to touch it and fished it out.

is a flower.

White unknown florets are clustered around an orange flower, and the green leaves and flower stems become the beams that hold them together.

It was dawn when she looked up, and she didn't see the old man in white, nor the elder sister in black, nor the black paw.

She touched the garland, put it back in place, put it on her head, and looked around to find Jason.

Then I saw Jason and another stranger working on something weird.

Jason saw her too, and greeted her with his hand, holding a donut-like thing in his hand.

"Jason!" She slipped off the fluffy bed in amazement and swayed over: "I've become a puppy!"

"What?" Jason only had a dream when she was asleep, and asked casually, "What kind of puppy?"

"White, it's a small one." She squatted down, stretched out her hand flat, and drew a stroke in the air, making a gesture that was no more than her knee height: "It's so small! There will be ice, and an adult! A sister! She tried to think about it: "There are also black claws!"

She turned her back to the stranger, so she didn't see the stranger's expression change instantly, but the strange expression quickly subsided.

Jason glanced at Melvis and didn't ask any more questions, but he became interested in the "dream" Weier said: "What about the appearance?"

"A man, curly, black hair, white clothes, blue eyes. He is very good." She said, still thinking about the man's palm, generous and warm, showing a little dissatisfaction.

A little child doesn't know right or wrong, and hasn't suffered a lot yet. If someone gives her a candy, she can just follow along in a daze, and if she reaches out and touches her head, she can generously give her a little dependence.

Such a little siren is a very philanthropic little siren.

Only Jason knew who it was, and for a moment his heart was beating like a drum, watching the little girl wake up with a full beard and tail, sitting here with a hand-made garland slanted on her head, happily following him After reporting her dream, her heartbeat gradually calmed down, but she remained silent.

"What else?" Jason said, and wiped the oil stains from the tinkering machine on his body.

Weier had already squatted down, and simply sat on the ground into a small lump, helped the garland that was about to fall, hugged her knees, and began to snap her fingers.

One finger went down, then another.

"The second sister is dressed in black, with black hair and a red flower on her head."

"Charlie." Melvis mouthed subconsciously. Jason had been paying attention to him and caught the unspoken name.

"Charlie," Jason said.

Melvis looked at him, and Jason looked back sharply.

"Right?" Jason said, already in a questioning tone.

The atmosphere stiffened.

"There's actually no need to hide this." After a while, Melvis sighed.

"I didn't mean to involve you, it's just, it's my fault."

"Which part?" Jason asked.

"Every part," Melvis said.He looked at the position of the sun in the sky, and there was still some time before dusk, so he simply sat on the ground.

Only Weier, who didn't know what happened, was stuffed with a bowl of semi-frozen liquid with the color of sunflowers.

She shook the small bowl with the inside peeled off, sniffed it, smelled the sweet smell, and thought of the toffee Barry had given her.

It was time for Jason to discuss serious matters with Melvis, and he couldn't stand the longing look in Will's eyes, remembering that the child was taught by him not to hold food with dirty hands, but he was very obedient and didn't touch it with his hands. He touched a washed carrot next to him and handed it to her.

With the tools, she happily stirred the small bowl of honey with carrots. The liquid with a wonderful texture made her play with it so much that she couldn’t put it down. The sweet smell in the stirring entangled her little by little, making the child dazed and dazed. In a daze, I kept swallowing, and I haven't played enough, the glutton was hooked, so I opened my mouth and woo.

She couldn't control her strength for a while, biting off the tip of the carrot, she didn't even notice it, she chewed it happily, and tasted a bit of the sweetness of the vegetable that didn't fit in, and it was also a small snack as a bonus.

Waiting for her to eat the shallow layer of honey at the bottom of the bowl with the last little green leaves, the leaves are a bit bitter compared to the red carrots, she sticks out her tongue, licks her mouth, and tastes a little bit of residue of sweetness.

Over there, Jason had already had a general chat with Melvis, and he figured out that the two of them were like food reserves.

According to what Melvis said, he was a magician before, and he and his assistant Charlie were struggling with food and clothing, but came to this world by accident.

There is a shadow-like energy in this world that gives him the ability to manipulate shadows, and Charlie also has this ability.

And just as they panicked, he discovered that they could use their shadows to consume undecayed human corpses to enhance their abilities.

They used this ability to stand at the top of the food chain and build their own palaces at the bottom of the world.

During this period, he insisted on only eating the bodies of people who died in this world due to various accidents, but Charlie was different from him. After accepting the shadow, her temperament changed drastically, becoming violent and greedy. She used the shadow to attack the living at night. People, speeding up their death rate, and at the same time no longer content to eat human beings who accidentally fell into this world.

Then one day, Charlie found a loophole, a coordinate point that could lead from this world to that world, an inactive portal, but she didn't know anything about it and couldn't open that portal.

So she let a scientist go, and quietly separated a part of the shadow to attach to that lucky guy. When he passed through the portal, he brought a part of his shadow to the world over there to be used to transfer Future food is teleported to this side of the world.

The only pity for her is that the portal can only be opened once, and the offspring she attached tentatively were not given too much energy in order to stop the loss, which is why the victims of every missing case over there There is only one, and each sown offspring cannot afford the transmission of more people.

Because of this, Melvis had the biggest disagreement and dispute with her, but Charlie, who had no bottom line, had devoured too many corpses and was much stronger than him. In the end, he was defeated and was monitored by Charlie with the ability of shadow. Banned on the throne, and will work for her from now on.Until Charles came back from plunder and a more powerful man was used to replace him and imprisoned on the throne.

Maybe because of their former friendship, Charlie didn't kill him, but banished him to the outermost world.

—or maybe it's just a slight.

"Wait a minute." Jason frowned, thinking of the shadowy claws that surrounded him at night and showed him the firelight.

"You mean the Shadow Claw is your and Charlie's ability... Will anyone else have this ability?" Jason asked.

"I don't know." It's exhausting to pour out all the faults, but there's also a sense of relief.The face of the middle-aged man finally stretched a little: "All I know is me, Charlie, and maybe the man who was used to replace me."

—Superman from another world, Kal-El.

Kal-El protects him at night.

This conclusion is too absurd, they are enemies.

Jason shook his head, and saw that Val had obediently finished eating a bowl of honey, and even the carrots he gave him for dipping in the honey had been crunched until there was not even a single leaf left, so she ran over with the bowl, He licked his lips again and said, "I like it."

Little kids always have a sweet tooth.

He knelt down to make a wreath for the little girl, and pulled off a small petal with dry and curled edges, and the little girl stretched out her hand to pick it up.

Jason obediently put the little white petal in her hand, worried that she would turn into a puppy again next time she fell asleep, and when he saw that dangerous Superman, he said: "Next time I see that blue-eyed man My lord, stay away from him, okay?"

Thinking about it, he added: "He is dangerous."

The little girl looked at him ignorantly, remembering the man's smile, and asked Jason, "Why?"

She recalled, remembering the temperature of his palm, and said: "He is very warm."

"Just promise me, okay?" Jason didn't know how to explain to her, no matter what the Superman stood or did, it didn't seem to be explainable to children, so he just said: " He takes lives and lives from other people."

Val's eyes widened, which was the last thing she liked.

Some people are too hungry to start a war and take their lives, the little girl knows.But the man didn't look hungry, which touched her blind spot of knowledge, she was puzzled: "Why?"

Because he crossed the line, he was overwhelmed with anger, he was so overwhelmed by emotion that he couldn't control it, and he was too powerful to control himself...

Jason didn't speak, his throat was dry, his Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't say anything.

Because at this moment, he suddenly realized how similar that Superman was to him in a certain sense and at a certain moment.

Is that why the old man wanted to stop him at that time?

"Because of him..." Jason's voice was hoarse, he swallowed hard, and said, "...because of his fear."

The superman lost his wife and unborn child, his friends, his descendants, his colleagues, and the entire city he guarded in the instant that light shone on the world.

He was left behind by that time-framed world.

"...he was terrified of experiencing more loss."

It's not something he can say to anyone, and it's not something he wants to use to evaluate and judge anyone.

It's just……

Just himself, or maybe not just himself.

The little girl nodded with a vague understanding.

She still doesn't understand why some people will take away other people's lives and lives out of fear, and when they get the answers, they hide them in the children's treasure house. Alice said that many things can be hidden after they get the answers, and they will always take them out later. when.

The child's attention shifted quickly. After getting the answer, she looked down at the withered petal that Jason had just picked off and placed in her palm, and felt a little regretful: "Where should I put it?"

Distraught, Jason replied casually: "Just throw it on the ground, it withers."

Reluctant to give up, the little girl held it in the palm of her hand and took a closer look. After it was folded off, it was losing moisture every second, and the edges of the petals were dry and wrinkled, like a small animal curled up and embracing itself.

"But it used to be so pretty."

she says.
