[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Rolling over is nothing to be ashamed of.

Looking at the entire Justice League, if I dare to stand up and call out that I have not overturned my car since the first day of my debut, I am afraid that I have not.

So it's not terrible to overturn the car, what's terrible is that after overturning the car once, you still want to kill it with exactly the same method.This situation is more than a pre-rollover behavior, it is a deliberate suicide.

It is necessary to regroup, especially at this stage when the combat forces are disabled, sick, and confused about whether they are east, west, south, north, or south.Although the current situation is not very optimistic, it has not yet reached the point of despair. The three people who escaped from the evil tree, except for Nero's emotional agitation at the beginning, are still clear-headed and did not waste easily Lose the life that Dante won for them.

Having said that, there is not much time left for them to prepare——

With the awakening of the demon on the throne, the evil tree also began to follow its instinct, collecting nutrients just to bear the fruit with extraordinary power.

The so-called nourishment is human blood.

From the moment it rose from the ground, there has been no change. Human curiosity makes curious onlookers gather around the evil tree all the time, or fanatics who regard it as a religious miracle. Root began to squirm and pierce the nearest human being, draining the blood from his body before it was too late to escape.

The Red Tomb City has finally become a veritable blood-red tomb.

Morrison, who introduced this job to Dante, stared blankly at the bloody and brutal scene in front of him. People pierced by tree roots did not die immediately. They frantically waved their limbs or tried in vain to break free. Or simply because the pain from the wound has nowhere to go.

"We can't let this damn tree suck the whole city dry!" Nero grabbed his weapon and was about to rush forward to rescue the citizens scurrying around like headless chickens. "We have to do something!"

"Don't think about it, there is nothing we can do." V's cane stood in front of Nero, preventing the heroic knight from rushing to the evil tree to save the weak. "We have to go."

It doesn't matter if you don't go, because the evil tree is obviously not satisfied with just poking the humans near the main body, and even in the distance, roots suddenly burst out from the ground and start looking for prey.

Jason was very glad that he didn't obediently put down the gun just because there was an old man who hated guns at home.If it weren't for a powerful long-range weapon in their hands at this moment, they would be able to retreat while opening the way-if he really imitated the model blue silly bird at home with two small short sticks, they might be dead by now. Being strung on the evil tree to review life's marquee.

It has only been ten days since the appearance of the Evil Tree. I don't know whether it has already had enough food for today, or its roots have not yet extended too far. When Jason, V, Nero and Morrison When the four felt that they had roughly entered the safe range, the Evil Tree's body seemed to be about the size of a palm.

Morrison looked ashamed, while Nero wanted to smash everything he could see.Compared with the two in front of them, the calmness of V and Jason seemed too abnormal.

"This tree hasn't fully grown yet, has it?" Jason frowned, recalling the inside of the tree and the actions of the evil tree after they escaped again and again, "You said you would wake up after this demon Get rid of him before we come here, and before we entered the tree body, the tree didn't make any movement, I can reasonably speculate that the tree's actions are related to the demon's awakening?"

The person Jason questioned was V, but Nero hugged his severed right hand before everyone else, and threw down the battle card: "Then we'll kill that son of a bitch!"

"But how?" Morrison looked up to the branches in the sky with despair on his face. "Even Dante... oh my god, what about the people in the city? That tree will suck them all dry." of!"

"We are all overwhelmed and can't help them." V's answer sounded cold and heartless, but no one refuted him, because even a few of them were close to death during the escape, "and Yuri Zeng would never There is no pity for the lives of weak human beings, no one can save them, and the people in the city have to find a way to escape on their own."

It took Jason a few seconds to understand that "Uri Zeng" referred to the demon in the tree, thinking about the other name that V had spoken to Dante before, and the owner of that name and the white-haired man in front of him. With the relationship with the young man, Jason can roughly understand why V would conceal the real name of the demon.

Well, all the son's mind is to kill Lao Tzu, even if he doesn't know who he is going to hack, it is really messy enough, and there is no need to add any elements to make the water more muddy.

What kind of family is this—Jason took off his hood, took a deep breath of fresh air, and tried to calm himself down.Then again, V knows very well about the affairs of Dante's family. Could it be that the legendary swordsman Sparta who saved mankind has been in the human world for a long time and couldn't help but make a mistake that all male animals in the world will commit? wrong?

"Do you have any advice?"

Probably because Jason's gaze was too difficult to ignore, V swung his cane and threw the ball to his side to divert Jason's attention.

"Yeah, who are you?" Nero seemed to have finally noticed that there was someone he had never seen before, "I didn't hear that Dante had a new partner."

"I'm Jason. Strictly speaking, I'm not anyone's partner. I just have something to do, so I'll be with Dante on the way." Jason touched the broken cat ears on the hood with some distress, and only one was broken on one side. There is still a little bulge left at the tip of the ear, and the other ear is almost completely cut off-this is not as good as constant, the cat ear man and the cat man are better than the former.

"So...Dante is trapped in that tree with this Urizen, which means you're leaving?" Nero asked.

Shaking his head, Jason raised his thumb and pointed to the back of his shoulder, signaling to the evil tree behind them: "No. Because what I want to do has something to do with it. Nero, right? arm, I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, there is a wronged person and a debtor. I will settle the debt with him properly." Nero pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a sinister smile.

Jason could only wish him a smooth debt collection with full of embarrassment.

"Speaking of suggestions, I think we all need to slow down, calm our heads, and prepare for a counterattack." Jason patted his upper right arm, probably because his expression didn't have any hint of teasing, Nero Apart from squinting his eyes slightly in displeasure, he didn't hint at any drastic actions to Jason, "It's okay to assume that the enemy is as strong as possible, the real question is how much time we have to prepare, it's up to you commission, V, what do you think?"

"I'll say...one month, no more." Flipping out the poetry collection from his pocket, V even found a good place for himself to lean against the wall.

Morrison looked at them as if he was looking at a group of suicidal lunatics: "One month! What can I do! I can find some helpers, but for a month... I don't know if the other party is willing to come , hell, it might take half a month to convince them!"

"Don't bother, if everyone present can't deal with Yurizeng, then there is no better person who can defeat him." V turned the page of the poetry collection without raising his head, "Go home, Nero. Settle down your relatives and friends, and get used to your current... state as soon as possible."

Nero opened his mouth as if he wanted to argue something like: "I'm fine!" or "I can stay and help!", but was blocked by V like a prophet: "In your current state, even an ordinary subordinate Even the demons can't deal with it. You have to adjust yourself before you have a chance to walk in front of Yuri Zeng."

***

Jason waited until Morrison and Nero were out of hearing range, and then imitated V's posture and leaned against the wall, with the damaged hood moving left and right between his palms: "You seem to know Dante's family very well. Urizen (Urizen) ); your reason (Yourreason), great pun, or are you trying to say you're just a fan of William Blake?"

"To each other. As a hitchhiking passenger, you know a lot." V didn't refute or justify. If the evil tree wasn't looming in the sky, it would have been a harmonious evening chat. "Live at last. I suggest you make a rational choice, the tree of evil is just an empty shell of instinct, but Yuri was different, he didn't have sympathy, benevolent emotions, from the time he woke up For a moment, all the living creatures in this city are only his confinement and slavery, for the nourishment of the evil tree to bear fruit."

"Confinement? Slavery?" Jason sneered noncommittally, put the hood under his armpits, raised his head and closed his eyes, "The mockingbirds in cages have driven the entire kingdom of heaven into a frenzy, and the crowds of pigeons The loft trembles in every corner of hell."

V remained silent, his eyes were still firmly locked on the poetry collection, but he didn't turn the page for a long time.

"Whether it's a god or a demon, it's the same." Jason kicked the small rocks under his feet casually, his voice was so soft that it almost disappeared in the night wind, "There have always been only human beings—false heaven or hell. Name—to enslave human beings, that is an evil deed that even demons would be shocked by.”

"You're right. It's the demons who saved the human race from the crisis of extinction, and it's the human beings who have plunged the world into this kind of crisis countless times." V closed his poetry collection, looking at his own book in a daze. Hands, "Only man makes terrible, unforgivable mistakes and wakes up too late."

"It's not too late, aren't you working hard to take care of your family's mess?" Jason blurted out seemingly casually, and turned a blind eye to V's sudden tense appearance, "There is a saying that my family knows their own affairs, Hurry up and get it done before it turns into a global crisis! I'm exhausted today, I'm going to find a place to hide for the night, do you want to come together? If you don't come, you can figure out your own way."

Rationality and emotion battled for a while, but in the end, reason, not to act alone, prevailed, allowing V to follow Jason's footsteps, and at the same time summoned the leopard-shaped familiar "Shadow" to follow him just in case.He didn't know how much this person knew about the Spartan family, and what Dante had said to him, but it was safer to keep all variables under control in the immediate situation.

"But speaking of it, it's not easy for Dante, and he has a big brother who is particularly good at trouble." Jason, who was walking in front, sighed, "You say what's wrong with his brother, let's forget about domestic violence, brother. This kind of creature really deserves a beating sometimes, but the son of domestic violence is too scumbag, and he even wringed off his hands, what kind of hatred is this?"

There was a thumping sound from behind, and the sickly looking V fell straight on the ground, and the familiar also disappeared.

After hesitating for three seconds, Jason silently carried the man on his shoulders, put the hood on his cane and hung it up, and wobbled around to find a safe place to spend the night—let’s just say today was a very tiring day.
