[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

If time could be turned back, Nero chose to die with the demon just now.

Rejection has never been his forte. He can kick the devil's ass and cut them into seventeen or eighteen pieces, but when it comes to friendly requests... Nero's heart is like a cover-face crying: "I can't do it." Here it is!" the villain.

It was Nicole who saved him from the fire and water.

She was driving the van that they had repaired two months ago. The signboard "Devil May Cry" was hung on the side of the car body, and she stopped at Nero and V in front of.

Nero has never wanted to hug Nicole tightly like this moment, and even the dizzy cigarette smell of Nero that she sprayed as soon as she opened her mouth smelled like a top brand perfume.

"Yo, I know! I know! I'm late, but it's all because I picked up this thing on the road just now—" Nicole raised her hand and gestured behind her, which happened to be in the direction of the carriage, "God see you , turn over and turn around with the map, but can’t find the way.”

At the same time, Jason's suppressed anger voice came from the carriage: "How many times have I said, I'm just comparing the target! Of course, when comparing the target, I will turn the map to confirm the direction. Do you have any?" Haven't seen a map!"

"If you mean looking for the landmarks in the west with the map in the east, I'm sorry, I really don't know how to look at the map in this way." Nicole deliberately shrugged and shook her head exaggeratedly, as if she was afraid that the words she spit out would not be exciting enough. , "Oh, don't be depressed, at least you have the right country on the map!"

"Hey——! I've endured you for a long time, don't push your nose and face, let me tell you!" Jason's roar and the sound of banging things came from the carriage.

Nicole ignored the passenger's anger, put her arm on the rolled down car window, raised her chin at V as a greeting, and then unceremoniously instructed the other party: "Hey, you must be V! Help! Do me a favor, pick it up, that thing at your feet!"

What Nicole was referring to was the wreckage of the demon that had just been defeated. As soon as she started holding the thing that didn't know whether it was claws or teeth, she smiled like an idiot, and made obscene rubbing movements against the material.

Even for Nicole like this, as long as he is not allowed to eat the package of biscuits with an unknown fatality rate, Nero will feel that the girl in front of him is like an angel—of course, if Nicole is an angel, Ji Liye must be a great angel!

Opening the car door, the first thing that catches the eye is Jason sitting with his feet crossed at the rear of the car with an unhappy face. Seeing Nero get into the car, he waved to him, in exchange for a white-haired young man. A nod.Jason originally thought that based on the two-sided relationship between him and Nero (the first meeting was when Jason unilaterally saw Nero lying in a pool of blood), the other party should not want to talk to him very much, so he never thought of getting into it. After scanning the seats in the car, the young man in the car unexpectedly did not choose the vacant seat opposite Jason, but sat down beside Jason swiftly.

The space of a van should be larger than that of an ordinary family car, but this car is not only used as a mobile base for Devil May Cry, but the driver is also a weapon technician. There was only a double sofa, half of which was occupied by Jason, and two single seats across a small square table across from the sofa.

According to Jason's imagination, most people don't want strangers to invade their personal space. It is ideal to choose a single seat with a table partition. If V didn't take out the pack of cheering love cookies, Nero It is also intended to choose so.

But given his choice between cookies and personal space, Nero didn't hesitate to sacrifice the latter.

V, who got on the bus later, looked at the seat allocation in front of him, and was stunned for a while, then slowly slid to the single seat opposite Jason and Nero and sat down. Wings stopped on the shelf next to it, uncharacteristically quiet.

"I have a great design!" Nicole got out of the driver's seat holding the materials, and plunged into her workshop, "You boys, be good, you know!"

Without waiting for anyone to respond to her, the car was filled with the sound of clanging and knocking, as well as the harsh sound of cutting with hand tools.

V silently took out his collection of poems and looked down. When everyone's eyes were not on him, he would look up from the book to glance at Nero, and quickly return to the illusion of concentrating on reading before the other party noticed.Jason and Nero are not very familiar with each other, but they have to sit on the same double sofa, so they can only lean to the left and right in embarrassment, hoping to avoid unnecessary collisions.

The air is very noisy, but the atmosphere is very awkward.

"Uh... so... your friend is a tree." The half-owner of the van, Nero, was the first to break the silence. He has not forgotten that he saw a talking tree appearing in his yard a month ago. At that time, how frightened I was, "It's really rare."

"You met Groot." Jason wasn't worried at all about whether Groot was doing well with Kylie. To put it bluntly, he was only worried that Groot had completely converted under Kylie's holy light. Not wanting to go home, "Is he okay?"

"Very good, Ji Liye no longer has to worry about the lack of clothes drying poles in the orphanage." Nero shook his head, as if to shake Groot, who was full of colorful children's clothes, out of his mind, "I heard Are you two from aliens?"

"It's not an alien, it's a different world." Jason gesticulated and narrated the story of him, Groot and Constantine going to cut down the tree of evil together, "I don't know why, maybe the evil There is telepathy between the trees? All in all, there is a big evil tree in front of me, and I always feel that if I can tear it down, maybe I can find a solution."

Nero, who didn't know anything about this tree at all, could only nod thoughtfully, not knowing how to continue the topic for a moment.Fortunately, Jason thoughtfully opened a new topic, "Your mechanical arm is pretty cool."

"Oh! This is made by Nicole. It works well, but the quality control is a bit poor..." Nero was only halfway through, when the noise in the workshop suddenly became extremely harsh, making everyone bear it. I kept covering my ears, "Hey! Hey! What's wrong with you!"

Under Nero's loud protest, Nicole poked her head out of the workshop with a deliberately pretended innocence: "Is it my hallucination? I seem to hear someone complaining about the poor quality of my artistic masterpieces? Hey, for the sake of my client who is no better than Dante in technology, no more coquettish than Dante in walking position, and can only lie on the ground and be beaten by demons screaming, I can only 'strive to enhance' the quality of the work."

——So the brain-piercing sound just now is what you call strengthening!Are you building super sonic weapons!

Nero looked like he wanted to complain, but he seemed to be thinking of some bad memories, he pulled the corner of his mouth and swallowed all the words that had come to his lips: "Whatever you want, just... don't make that again voice."

Nicole shrugged her shoulders and retreated back to the workshop. The background sound was still noisy but at least there was no harsh magic sound. Nero explained with a somewhat apologetic expression: "She is that kind of virtue, but she is still very easy to get along with."

"Listen to what she just said, she admires Dante?" V, who hadn't joined the conversation, suddenly chose to join at this time, making Nero almost jump up from his seat, "Uh, yes! It is said that Dante's double guns are Made by Nicole's grandma, probably heard some crazy story from old folks that has been embellished a hundred times. I mean, I know Dante is the son of Spartan the Spellblade, the legendary Demon Hunter...BlahBlahBlah... ...but despite those legends, he himself is a slovenly uncle."

"So, how do you know Dante?" Jason learned about the relationship between Nero and the Spartans from Dante, but obviously Nero himself didn't know about such a relationship. Ding's tone and words seemed to be describing a bad friend, not a family member, "Forduna is still a long way from DevilMayCry, logically speaking, you should not have any intersection. right."

Out of some uncontrollable thoughts, Jason suddenly asked this question in front of V, who was suspected to be the illegitimate son of Sparta, in order to pry the other party's reaction.Any member of the Bat family or a partner who has performed more than one mission with Jason can definitely say that this idea is called "death".

"Well, it's a shame to say such a thing. You know Dante's father, Sparta, is famous, right? In other places, Sparta is just a famous legend, but in Verduna, where the People worship him as a god." Nero wrinkled his nose, as if recalling something bad, "In short, a few years ago, the Devil Sword Cult—the religion that worships Sparta—for some Messy purpose, opened the door of the devil world. Dante went to deal with the door of the devil, that's how we met, and later I planned to set up a devil hunter agency myself, Dante also made a DevilMayCry signboard, from here From the looks of it, he took good care of me."

When Nero told about the process of getting acquainted with Dante, V's face twitched strangely from time to time, as if he heard or thought of something, subconsciously wanted to make an expression, but was tightly held by his own willpower In the end, only a strange-looking

reaction.

"So that's it, I thought you two were relatives at first!" Jason pointed at his hair, "Look, there are not many people born with silver hair, are you sure he's not your long-lost dad? "

"Oh my god, don't make another one." Nero gasped impatiently, "Why does everyone think that Dante and I are family when they see my hair? How am I like that sloppy pizza maniac?"

V showed a satisfied smile in the corner of Jason's eyes, and nodded slightly.

"Besides, I was an orphan since I was a child. If after so many years, someone suddenly came to me and said something like 'I am your father'..." Nero said, suddenly sneered, stretched out his hand Putting on the hilt of the Scarlet Queen's sword beside her, she made a nasal sound that dropped the air by one degree, "Huh."

From the corner of Jason's eye, V began to indulge in reciting poetry, unable to extricate himself.

...Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this reaction?

Without giving Jason much time to think, Nicole chose to show off her brand-new mechanical arm work at this time, and started another unnutritious bickering with Nero, until V seemed to pack up his emotions, butt After making suggestions for the next course of action, the battle of complaints was suspended: "I think we should be divided into two groups..."

Nero, who had already relaxed a lot during the rest and chatting, suddenly tensed up visible to the naked eye, and quickly took the lead from V: "You are right, this will expand the scope of the search! It is so decided, you and V Jason is in a group, take good care of the outsider and don't let him get lost again, bye bye!"

Like a rocket on the back of his buttocks, the silver-haired boy rushed out of the car and disappeared immediately.

"What do you think happened to him?" Jason looked suspiciously at Nero, who had disappeared in the dust, and deeply suspected that V had done something scary, "Uh, V, are you okay? I think you seem to be... Scum?"

Before Jason's eyes, a lot of fine dust fell from V's body.

"Fuck!" Cursing, Jason stared at V, who had a face full of unrequited love and kept dropping scum, while he reached out and found a plastic bag hand that he didn't know what he had been carrying in the sundries beside him. To the other party, "Considering the law of conservation of mass, do you want to..."
