[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Not boasting, Jason really felt that he was well-informed.

You see, he has wandered on the streets with the worst law and order in the country, and he also has a room in the manor of the top rich man. He even lived in the palace. Although it happened in another universe, the palace is the palace. There are also kings and princesses living in it!The J-bat he raised with his own hands still doesn't know which beam and pillar of the palace is hung on.

He's been a hero's sidekick, heir to an ancient, esoteric order of monks, and he's supposed to be a hero or antihero in his own right—even a supervillain—but somehow, it's as if he's become something. A family dispute mediator and paranormal handler known as the Hood Master.

Oh, and there is also the multiverse traveler, unfortunately, he can’t write his travel experience into a travel book and publish it. On the day the new book is released, he will probably be taken away from the venue where the new book was released by the medical staff and sent directly to the mental hospital.

It's a pity, the experience of blowing up a living planet should be quite inspiring - as long as people are willing to work hard, there is nothing they can't do. Dreams like blowing up schools are too narrow, if you want to blow up, you have to blow up the solar system!What a good bowl of chicken soup for the soul!

Let's not forget that he died before, as a ghost, among the stars and the sea.Just ask whose life can be more turbulent than this. Jason thinks that there is nothing in this world that can frighten him. Although demons and the like are strange in appearance and powerful, they can be killed after all. There is nothing special about them.

Jason thought so until he met Nicole with her Devil May Cry car, and the phone booth in Red Tomb.

That car is absolutely abnormal—not to mention how it drove through the roads that were completely impassable by the evil tree, why can it break out of the ground and find the location of Jason and V accurately?Just a phone call away!And the content of the conversation did not mention any landmarks at all. From the beginning to the end, there were only "Hey, I need help, can you come here?", "Okay, stay where you are." This level of communication, within a few minutes Nicole People and cars will appear in various unimaginable ways, including but not limited to falling from the sky or breaking out of the ground.

In comparison, the Batmobile is simply weak.

In view of this, when V and Jason successfully killed the worm-like Nidhogg (a demon parasitic on the evil tree), defeated the horse that can stop time, Gryon, and by the way I picked up some materials for Nicole, and Nero on the other end also rescued one of Dante's partners, Letty, who is known as the walking arsenal, and killed the giant demon Gilgamesh at the same time, when everyone gathered again to rest , Jason decided to formally ask the question:

Why didn't anyone suggest driving directly to break this tree a month ago?

Everyone stared at Jason with wide eyes, as if he had suddenly grown a second head.

Nicole was the first to come to her senses. She patted the steering wheel and announced proudly: "Do you think so! My mother is not only a weapon, but also a good hand at modifying cars! Let me tell you, this car is all the way It drove over Empsa's corpse, let me tell you, as long as you add some modifications, it's not impossible to drive up a tree and kill that bastard!"

"You have a good idea." Nero clenched the place where his right hand connected to the mechanical arm, "I am the one who will kill Yuri Zeng. If you want to drive over the corpse, I have no problem."

V suddenly held the door of the car and coughed violently, and tremblingly supported himself with a cane: "I...we have to move on, cough cough cough... time is precious, once Yuri Zeng gets the fruit..."

"Okay, okay! We're leaving now, don't get excited." Jason raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Are you sure you don't want to stay in the car?"

"No, I'm fine, I can do it." V stubbornly left the car first, walking slowly but firmly towards the tree of evil.

Nero's lips were tightly pursed into a pale line, as if he was struggling between rushing up to catch V or leaving him alone, the young demon hunter finally caught up with V with a sigh.

After confirming that the two should have been out of hearing range, Jason dared to ask Letty the question he had held back for a long time: "Did you know that Dante has a brother named 'Virgil'?"

"Yes, Dante's twin brother. A lunatic who constantly pursues power." When Virgil was mentioned, Leti's expression immediately became gloomy. From the words she used to evaluate, it can be heard that the two are far from friendly. A long distance, "But he should be dead, why ask him suddenly."

"I'm just curious. Dante has half the blood of demons, but he chooses to hunt demons. This makes me wonder what kind of person his brother will be." Jason shrugged innocently, and even took his own situation as an example, "I There are also brothers in the family, but everyone's personality is very different, some people want to hug others under their wings like an old hen, and some people can't help but fight when they meet."

"I only met Virgil once, and that's when I met Dante." Letty lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised when Dante was mentioned, "The situation at that time was a bit similar to the current situation. Into the world, but the man behind the scenes was none other than Virgil. Dante tried to stop him. I didn’t see the final duel between the two, but in terms of the result, only Dante came back , and...he cried."

"That's why you think Virgil is dead." Jason keenly grasped the point from Letty's words. No one knew the result of the original duel, but judging from the result, Dante should be the winner.

Letty snorted impatiently when she heard the words, but she could see her deep affection for someone from her shining eyes: "Please, this is Dante, if there is any chance of 'saving' Virgil, He won't give up."

Jason nodded thoughtfully, thanked Letty, and then ran after V and Nero, who were almost out of sight.

It would be great if--just "if"--it would be great if V could return to his family at the same time as returning home himself.After a month of observation, that man is extremely lacking in love, caring, and warmth, and Jason has long known that he has no resistance to this type. If he just sits on the sidelines, he will definitely let his guilt wake him up when he dreams back at midnight .

Now it seems that Dante once shed tears for his troublesome twin brother and watched silently for his nephew, so perhaps it is not impossible to add another member to the "family".

***

How would you feel when you woke up from a deep coma and saw a sword not a finger's width away from your head?

Dante said: Ah, another peaceful and beautiful day.

He was almost used to being stabbed with all kinds of messy things. Although the devil's physique made it difficult for him to die, to be honest, he didn't want to try the survival rate of having his head split in half.

So he was grateful that V finally decided to shift the sword a little bit, otherwise he would have to do it.And if you do it... Looking at the man with shards falling from his body, Dante really doesn't want to do it to him, it's too cruel.

It's almost as inhumane as beating a disabled person.

"I know how stubborn you are, Dante. I think this is the only way to wake you up." The man who almost split Dante's head in half with the sword of Sparta said with a sly smile, making people I can't figure out whether he is telling the truth or pure nonsense.

Maybe he can beat the handicapped man before calling an ambulance for him—Dante expresses his desire to beat people by stretching.

V and Nero parted ways not long ago, Nero went directly to Yuri to avenge his broken arm, and V planned to retrieve the sword of Sparta.

Jason had seen that giant sword before, and with V's three-step panting body, even if he found the sword, he would not be able to swing it. Couldn't walk a hundred meters.But V seemed determined to find the sword, no matter how cynically Griffin tried to dissuade V from this idea, he still turned a deaf ear to it.

Facts have proved that it was the right choice to look for the magic sword Sparta, because they also found a Dante wearing dried blood, hanging on a tree trunk not far from the magic sword, but because the magic sword emitted The breath was too strong, both humans and demons subconsciously ignored the unconscious demon hunter.

It can only be said that he is really a lucky guy.

Jason and Griffin supported their heads by themselves, while the other bird grabbed their feet. They managed to move Dante down from the tree, found a few broken water pipes, and poured clean water on each other. They were all cleaned up but people couldn't wake up. This is the scene where V was holding a sword and trying to stab Dante in the head.

Although Dante and V seem to have put this thrilling wake-up alarm incident behind them and are debating whether Nero should be involved in this incident, Jason doesn't think V is just doing it when he holds the sword. Looks—but that murderous intent was not from hatred, but from jealousy.

The tulle covering the puzzle has been lifted layer by layer, leaving only the last layer to make the truth looming, but the escalating quarrel between Dante and V prevents Jason from concentrating on what link is stuck in his mind. reasoning.

"You shouldn't have let Nero take this job from the very beginning!" Dante frowned tightly, folded his arms like an overprotective parent, and babbled at V, "This is the job of an adult, he's a child. What are the children coming to mix with?"

"Believe me, if you could successfully defeat Yuri Zeng a month ago, I would not go to Nero." Even in the quarrel, V seemed to be talking about the weather gracefully, "You were confident when you accepted this job." Man Man, who can be blamed for this result now?"

"This is purely a technical error." Dante explained the reason for his first defeat very seriously, "How did I know that he would actually sit on the throne the whole time! This trick is too despicable, and I was just fooled. "

"Wait, Yuri used to sit and stand... Is there a difference?" Jason found that he suddenly couldn't keep up with the conversation. 'I don't even have to move, I can knock you down with one finger' logic."

Dante shook his head quickly, resolutely denying Jason's statement.

"Smart people don't speak dark words. Everyone here knows that this devil is my bastard old brother Virgil, right? He abandoned his humanity and became like this. Do you have anything to correct about this, dear Your client, Mr. V." Dante made a "please" gesture to V.

"No, that's true. There is nothing to be corrected for what I said when I came to commission." V also seemed curious why Dante thought he had been cheated.

After getting the confirmation from V, Dante clapped his hands triumphantly, and raised his head proudly: "Ha! Let me just say it! Virgil, a despicable bastard, knows that if he stands up and beats him, he will be beaten, so he refuses to move his ass. .As long as he dares to stand up, I can even defeat him with just one move."

"So powerful?" Jason didn't really believe that there would be such a big difference between standing and sitting. He was afraid that Dante was not bragging to save face. "What kind of move, let's hear it? Let's learn it?"

"Have a good look at it." Pulling out the magic sword Sparta, Dante made a movement of raising the sword and rushing out to stab, and shouted, "Yeah!"

V's knuckles holding the cane are faintly white.

After the demonstration, Dante continued with a smug smile: "Not only that, if he dares to stand up with his feet off the ground, if he can still get up after landing, then I will lose... unless so many years have passed , he finally learned the double jump, so it's hard to say."

V sat on a big rock by the side of the road, panting with his head bowed and his face covered, his cane was strangled tightly.

"Okay, I owe you a favor, you can rest here, V." Picking up the magic sword, Dante saluted with two fingers in the direction of V and Jason, "Boy, this guy I leave it to you to take care of."

Dante left in a hurry, leaving behind Jason and V, who looked very bad. Griffin circled around the latter, muttering to him to calm down and take a deep breath.

With an unbelievable power emanating from such a thin body, V stood up with an aura that was completely inconsistent with his past sickly image, raised his stick like a bayonet and pointed at Dante just now. Go in the direction you left.

"No one stop me, I should have stabbed him just now!"

The momentum is majestic, but the reality is cruel.

Before taking the third step, a crisp "click" was heard, and a crack appeared in V's right hand holding the cane.

Seeing the enraged V Jason suddenly flashed the information after the series of conversations just now:

Virgil separated humanity, V was very clear about the affairs of the Spartan family, V suddenly asked about the relationship between father and son, and gave Nero red soul biscuits (this should be a gesture of goodwill), and what Dante just said Talk about Virgil's inability to jump like that, and V's anger...

A terrible idea formed in Jason's mind.

He stopped silently pulling out his belt, and put back the remaining half can of 502.

If you take it out now, your teammates will die on the spot.
