[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

The so-called "evil tree" doesn't look evil at all, even a little weak and helpless.

Jason looked at the plant that was less than his waist. The roots were still inserted in the tattered clay flower pot. There was not even a single leaf on the branches. It was so bare that it looked like it might be caught as firewood at any time. Poor thing, if Constantine hadn't sworn that this was an evil tree that would destroy the world when it grew up, Jason might have to water it.

It's a pity that his task today is to cut down this tree.

When he took out the blade of the great caste, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Jason always felt that the tree seemed to shake.

The accident happened the moment the blade touched the bark—it screamed—the sound didn't echo in the air, but appeared directly in Jason's mind.He didn't know what kind of feeling it was like. Physiologically, he knew very clearly that there were no other people or animals around. Constantine had isolated the tree a long time ago, but that shrill scream was Reality exists in his mind.

— cut it!Cut it off and there will be no such trouble!

Thinking of this, Jason gritted his teeth and followed the gestures to continue sending the blade into the tree trunk.

"I'm Groot!" Although he went out with him, the tree man who was holding his beloved little flowerpot from beginning to end and bowed his head to play the game console suddenly shouted in horror. Jason only felt his waist tighten. The branches of Root's hands wrapped around his waist like vines, seemingly trying to pull him back.

It didn't take long for Jason to understand why Groot did what he did.

At the same time that the damn tree was broken in half, some kind of force sucked his whole body in.If he is already familiar with this feeling... Isn't it a bit sad?

"Ah, damn it, don't do it again." Jason rolled his eyes, tried his best and resisted the suction, turned around and shouted to Constantine who was completely stunned: "Hey, man, send a message to my dad, just say ...Uh, don't say anything, remember to pick up Groot's precious little flower pot! That's it, thank you!"

When Konstantin came back to his senses, there was nothing left on the ground except a small crooked flowerpot with its mouth cracked, and the cigarette he had been holding in his mouth before was still on and off. Not left.Jason and Groot were nowhere to be seen, except for a handful of ash blown by the wind to signify that the Tree of Evil had been destroyed.

"What the hell?" Picking up the flower pot, Constantine suddenly felt that he had been dealing with fake supernatural phenomena for so many years. Why did this little batman seem to be familiar with this situation?Could it be that the bat family has silently controlled even the supernatural society?

Awesome, really worthy of being the boss of the Justice League.

***

Jason has already made all the mental preparations. No matter where he is going, he must work hard when he lands. God blocks and kills gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas—after all, it is an evil tree, although it looks weak and pitiful. Helpless, but this counterattack before dying must not be underestimated.

I didn't expect anything, there were no monsters or ghosts when it landed, only the smell of motor oil mixed with blood suddenly poured into the nose.

Groot was fainted by the whole tree, and it seemed that he would not wake up for a while. Jason could only assess the situation by himself, and had to carry the tree and run when necessary.

The smell of engine oil is easy to explain. The place where Jason landed is a garage, the hood of the van next to him is still open, and various tools are scattered on the ground beside him.

As for the smell of blood, it obviously came from the person who was lying next to the scattered debris and fell in a pool of blood.

"What the hell?" Jason had countless question marks flashing through his mind—is this a trap?where is thisWho is this guy?Why is he hurt?is he still alive

There are too many uncertainties, Jason decided to take a compromise approach, that is, to maintain the state of the big caste blade in hand, go to find out the situation of the fallen person, if it is a trap, at least there are weapons to resist for a while.

"Hey, sir?" Jason gently touched the man lying in the pool of blood with his unarmed hand. The blood came from the severed right hand. There was nothing below the elbow. The incision looked very neat at first glance, and it could be cut off together with muscles and bones. The murder weapon was definitely not an ordinary sharp weapon.

If this is really a trap, Jason will admit it.He couldn't help watching a large living person bleed to death in front of his eyes.

Just as he was about to find some tools to stop the blood first, he heard two female voices, accompanied by the sound of footsteps descending the stairs, appearing at the small door leading up from the garage to the inner room.

"Nero!"

"I just left for 2 minutes! What have you done to yourself!"

Among the two women who appeared, one was wearing plain home clothes, her reddish-brown hair was neatly combed and tied into a ponytail, and she looked like a girl next door; Hai pulled back, and there was still a lock of hair that was particularly stubborn and did not want to be restrained. The sleeveless jacket and tattoos on her arms made her look like a wild woman.

I don't know how these two people with completely different temperaments are in the same frame.

But this is not what Jason is most concerned about now. He is more troubled because he is a stranger who obviously appeared in someone's garage, holding a knife in his hand, and there are injuries suspected to be the owner or the owner's relatives and friends at his feet. The victim had his arm cut off and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Who are you bastard! What did you do to Nero!" The black-haired woman was the first to attack, she immediately took out a screwdriver from the tool bag tied to her belt and pointed at Jason, "Give me Nero Get out of the way next to Lu! Ji Liye, call an ambulance!"

"Let's go!" The girl next door - Ji Liye - turned around and rushed back into the house with a look of shock on her face, leaving only the confrontation between Jason and the screwdriver woman in the garage.

After working as a vigilante for most of his life, Jason certainly knows what to do in this situation: "Ma'am, I know the situation in front of me looks bad, but it really has nothing to do with me." Slowly raise your hands above your head, hoping that this gesture of weakness can also be used here.

"I don't mean any harm, I just want to help." After saying this, Jason even canceled the summoning of the blade of the big caste, showing his innocence with empty hands, "If I cause trouble for you and your friends , I can go right away."

"I'm going! Where did your knife go? Are you a demon?" The question of the screwdriver woman completely deviated from Jason's expectations, "The jujube devil!".

—What demon?Where is this singing again?What is the jujube devil!

Before Jason could answer, the other party continued to talk to himself: "It must be, if it wasn't for the devil, how could it be so easy to deal with Nero, wait... But if it was a devil, it should have rushed to kill people by now... Forget it It's gone! Never mind him!"

As if secretly deciding something, the female screwdriver grabbed a handful of granules of unknown size from the workbench at hand, "Hey!" She yelled and threw it in Jason's direction.

Her aim was actually not very good. Jason dodged the strange thing very easily. Under the dark light of the garage, it would reflect a bright light, a bit like snowflakes.

One after another, until she spilled all of the little pile of stocks on the workbench, and none of them got on Jason.

But his intuition told Jason that this thing is definitely not as simple as a sparkle, as if to respond to his thoughts, the temperature in the garage began to drop at a perceivable speed, but in the blink of an eye, Jason's breath turned into white mist , looked down and saw that the shiny thing on the ground was quickly forming a ball of ice crystals, and this ice crystal was quite evil, as if it could judge the direction, it went straight towards Jason, even if he climbed on the roof, he still couldn't Chasing after him.

Helpless, no matter how much Jason didn't want to be violent in other people's houses, he could only draw his gun and try to break it up, but no matter how many times the thing was bombed, it would gather again and continue to chase after Jason's heels.

What's even more frightening is that when Jason was running all over the garage trying to get rid of that ghostly thing, the female man pulled out a large bag of similar things from nowhere, and the whole bag was held in his hands with a strong face of determination." Inventory" all scattered all over the ground with their eyes closed.

So Jason lived up to expectations, his feet were frozen, and he was fixed in place in a running posture.Although it looked like ice crystals, it didn't feel cold when it was actually on the legs. At least compared with the very "frozen" villains that Jason knew well, this ice crystal was really very gentle.

But that didn't reverse his predicament at the moment.

The female man happily waved her fist, shouting some incomprehensible words such as "I knew this thing would come in handy!", "Get more raw materials back", "Improved efficiency will be better"...etc.At the same time, she dug up a wrench from nowhere, rushed towards Jason with an unstoppable momentum after victory, and raised the wrench to hit him.

"Listen to someone's explanation, okay?" Jason couldn't move his feet, but his hands could move freely, and he easily caught the wrench that was waving towards him, "I'm really not a murderer! I'm not a devil either!"

"You can say whatever you want when your mouth is on you. In my eyes, you are extremely suspicious." The expression on the female man's face is "liar" in bold and underlined, "In short, I can't let you run away. What if it was really you who did it? If it was really not you, can I apologize after I figure it out? "

There was no room for negotiation at all, the female man bent her knees was a ruthless move, and took advantage of the darkness in front of Jason's eyes, and smashed his hood with a wrench.

Even wearing a full-face helmet and falling into a car will pass out, not to mention someone hitting your head hard with a blunt object as hard as you can. Before your head buzzed and fainted, Jason had only one thought—— At least this time it won't be broken.

Oh, yes, and hopefully Groot won't be caught and chopped up for firewood by her.
