Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Seeing Lola's calm look, Peter was even angrier.

"How could you do this to us!"

"You took us to the sewer and then ran away by yourself, came back after we were caught, and behaved strangely when we first became interested in this place, asking you what's going on and you didn't say anything, And you're still knocking out Red Robin and me while we're doing it together, and then we're back?"

Red Robin gave Peter an approving look and condemned Lola.

"Calm down, friends." Laura said, "Have you achieved your goal? The first group activity has promoted the exchange of emotions between us, and helped us understand our own shortcomings and strengths, and as you can see Yeah, Johnny, they're both -- not very happy with their lives, but happy with the status quo."

"What's with that monster." Red Robin said calmly, "The one that Rose turned into..." He couldn't find the words to describe it for a while.

"You don't know what it is? You haven't seen it in the bat database?" Laura raised her eyebrows.

She turned her back in the posture of picking up the knife, and her eyes inadvertently slid over the mirror-smooth spoon.

The faces of Peter and Red Robin were distorted and deformed on the surface of the bulging iron spoon, coupled with their hoods and masks, the visual effect - Lola couldn't hold back, and when she turned around, there was a smile in the corner of her eyes meaning.

But she suddenly thought of Jason, so the smile slowly faded away.

Red Robin said, "I'm sure there's no such monster in Batman's database. Not at all."

Laura laughed again.

——There has never been a similar image in the real world.

——It seems that Cthulhu is indeed just an avatar that only exists in the game.

"That's a sign that her mutant ability is out of control." Luo La said, "Although based on the current known situation, mutants can't be born without mutants forming a family. It seems that the mutant ability cannot be inherited, but the mutant ability can still be classified. Yes, the side effects caused by mutant abilities can also be classified.”

"Most of the mutants living in the sewers have reasons for not being able to integrate into ordinary people's society, and this side effect is one of them." Laura added, "And her form is not suitable for anyone with a normal mind. In the next period of time, you may have some particularly realistic hallucinations, with symptoms of auditory hallucinations, trance, and inattention, and it will be fine after a while."

"I see." Red Robin memorized it.

Lola lightly beckoned the little spider to come over and look at the fried eggs in the pan, "There are slices of toast and slices of sausage in the oven, I'll leave them to you."

Peter was a little flustered—it wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but he didn’t react for a while after being called by Laura to the kitchen—he took the pot, smelled the aroma that had begun to spread, and responded loudly: “Okay! "

Red Robin looked at Peter who was disturbed by such a small movement and questioned Lola in a speechless manner.

He confirmed once again that Spider-Man has been protected in every possible way.

And Laura walked briskly to the living room, squatted down in front of the TV cabinet, and opened the drawer.

She glanced at the odds and ends that were placed in a completely different position than before, reached out and dug inside, and took out an unopened bag of hard candies.

... Laura couldn't help smiling.

She unwrapped the candy, grabbed a handful and put it in her pocket, then closed the drawer and turned her head into the dressing room.

When I go out, I will definitely have to change clothes. People like Luo La who value their own image can't walk around in uniform.

She approached the dressing room and opened the closet. When she left last time, she was empty-handed and didn't bring anything, so the closet was still full, full of brand-new skirts and brand-new...

Laura stared in surprise at the old dresses that had been worn once.

These skirts are all hers, but Laura doesn't know how to wash clothes at all, and she doesn't bother to learn. Anyway, it's enough to wear the clothes once. After wearing them, they will be stuffed together. If they are full, they can be thrown away.

But these beautiful little skirts, which were crumpled up and stuffed into empty drawers or cabinets by her after being worn once, were taken out, cleaned, ironed neatly, and then hung neatly on her in the closet.

She also deliberately separated it from the clothes she had never worn.

Laura's fingers gently stroked the soft fabrics, and a faint fragrance came out as she flicked the fabrics.

It's a fruit-flavored detergent.

Smells like some kind of fruit candy.

Luo Rahuo turned around, and she walked around the dressing room a few times, then stopped suddenly, and was dazed for a while.

She smiled, then frowned and shook her head, but she stopped after shaking her head a few times, let out a long breath, and thought hard.

She finally came up with an answer that she was satisfied with, and with blushing cheeks, she showed a sweet smile.

The trip had given Lola a great thrill, but all guesses were of little importance.

The Doctor and his blue phone booth, the unmistakable time travel, the weird planet and the weird civilization on this planet...these all make Laura think a lot.

The world is so big and so wonderful.

This kind of thinking made her seem absent-minded at ordinary times, but Laura never concealed her absent-mindedness in class, so no one except Peter who has been paying attention to Laura has not noticed Laura's abnormality.

Although Peter noticed Laura's abnormality, he didn't take it seriously for the time being.

During this period of time, Laura went to class and dismissed school on time every day, never skipped school or disappeared, and even participated in several clubs—although it sounded like a nonsense club, Laura seemed quite serious.

Taking advantage of get out of class time, Peter quietly approached Laura.

He bumped her with his shoulder: "Hey."

Laura replied lazily: "Huh?"

"What's the matter with you recently?"

"There's nothing to do, so I went to class well." Laura said.

She kind of understood why Lo wanted her to come to school, and although she didn't quite understand it yet, she thought she understood a little bit.

She had had the opportunity to see the beginning and the end of time, the opportunity to understand the universe.

There were countless mysteries representing the truth that were unfolded in front of her, and even if she was not interested in those truths, the doctor and his blue box could bring her the most interesting journey.

For example, that strange planet... Hmph, she didn't believe that it was the doctor's mistake that the Tardis landed here, let alone that the doctor appeared in front of her in the blue box because of a mistake.

But she rejected them.

Be it time, the universe, or some remote truth.

She even turned down the chance to go on the trip with the Doctor.

To say why...

"I don't believe it." Peter pouted, "You lied to me again, right?"

"Not this time."

"Why do you like to lie so much? What good does it do you? Why don't you always speak well?" Peter asked several questions in one breath, his face full of confusion, "There are so many things that you can't tell." Lying doesn't affect anything at all."

"If I lie or avoid the important things, it has no effect on the facts. Why don't I lie or avoid the important things." Laura replied, "If I lie only for the benefit, then I am too ordinary and too boring."

No!Peter roared loudly in his heart, how weird and distorted your ideas are!

Laura didn't even need to look back at Peter to know what he was thinking at the moment. The breeze was blowing on her face. Not far away, the school's football team was practicing and the cheerleaders were dancing. She watched what was happening on the ground for a while, and finally He glanced back at Peter.

"Remember that topic I told you? The one about sweet, bitter, hot and salty?"

"Remember." Peter responded quickly.

"Have you figured out what's going on?"

"...No." Peter frowned in confusion. "I asked Karen, but Karen said that she is good at logical answers, not literary questions."

"I said at the time, suppose there are five flavors of 'sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty', but people can only vote for 'sweet and sour'," Luo La said, "The voting results obtained at this time are largely the same as those of 'sour and sour'. ', 'sweet' itself has nothing to do, because there is no taste they like anyway, people will start to use other things to judge whether to choose 'sour' or 'sweet'."

"Yes." Peter nodded.

"But why use whether you like it or not as the criterion for selection? Shouldn't you first look at the purpose of this vote, and then vote based on the abilities of these five parties?"

Peter was stunned: "But you used the 'sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty' metaphor first!"

"They will also try their best to pretend to be 'sour, sweet, bitter, hot and salty' to induce you to vote!" Laura opened her eyes wide. "Do you believe what people say?"

Peter: "..."

He was in a complicated mood: "Whatever you say is what you say."

Laura was quiet for a few minutes, then suddenly said: "Actually, there is a more important explanation."

"What is it?" Peter was a little expectant and a little wary.

"Only when the lie is not good enough," Laura said seriously, "the truth behind the lie matters."

"...The truth is always more important than lies." Peter said distressedly.

Laura laughed: "If the truth is the most important thing, why didn't you tell Mary Jane and Aunt May your second identity?"

"I just can't tell you, right? You're all talking nonsense to tease me, aren't you?" Peter retorted, "What you said and what I said are not the same thing!"

"It's really not the same thing." Laura admitted casually.

——As for whether it is the same thing or not.

——That's not important.

She stared into the distance, with a pleasant smile on her lips, which made Peter suspect that he was the one who sent it to Lola himself to tease her.

The thought made him a little angry with himself.

Not mad at Lola.Well, he was still a little angry with Laura, but it wasn't the first day he knew Laura's tone, so Peter was still more angry with himself.

As for Laura, she looked into the distance, thinking of the truth, mystery and travel she had given up, which should have attracted her very much, and she would never refuse the doctor's invitation.

But she refused.

why?

Probably because... because the things the Doctor had shown her were so readily available, while other, more mundane things were far away from her.

Wild geese fly south, salmon have always had the habit of swimming backwards, the moon revolves around the earth, sweetness makes people feel happy.

Little girls want to be with daddies.

And Jason.

Geez, Laura thought, poor Jason—he was like that too.
