Chapter 282: Young Pi's First Encounter (Part 1)
Sinestro has been unhappy recently.
There are many reasons for his unhappiness, but the most important one is that the Parallax Monster of their Yellow Lantern Corps has disappeared.
The Lanterns of the Lantern Corps are very important to the Lantern Corps, not only because they hold part of the power of the emotional spectrum, but also because they are the representatives of this color Lantern Corps. The disappearance of the Lanterns is like the disappearance of the shop sign. Sinestro will certainly be very depressed.
But he is more depressed than this. Unlike other Lantern Corps that use Lanterns as signs and mascots, Sinestro actually wants to control the Parallax Monster of the Yellow Lantern Corps for his own use.
Lanterns can choose Lanterns to possess, but when possessed, it is basically the will of the Lantern that is dominant, and the will of the Lantern is only auxiliary. Lanterns cannot resist the powerful power of the Lanterns in their bodies.
Sinestro is unwilling to become a Lantern controlled by Lanterns, but he is greedy for the powerful power of Lanterns, so he has been looking for a way to let the Lanterns possess him, but he can control his body himself.
Originally, his research had made some breakthroughs. With the help of the yellow lantern furnace, he could use the power of the yellow lantern ring as a medium to merge himself with the parallax monster. This was different from simple possession. In this deep fusion, he could fully master the powerful power of this lantern beast without being disturbed by his thoughts.
But just when he was about to try this method, the lantern beast that had been staying in the lantern furnace honestly suddenly disappeared.
The yellow lantern lantern beast time difference monster was born very early. The parallax monster came first, and then the yellow lantern army. As introduced before, the parallax monster is an ancient chaotic creature. The brain of a chaotic creature is basically a ball of pulp lake, and the life on the order side can hardly understand it.
But chaotic creatures also have instincts. This chaotic creature is born to like to stay in an environment with the same power as they control. Simply put, the parallax monster likes to be surrounded by the power of fear.
Sinestro, once the greatest Green Lantern, betrayed the Green Lantern Corps and created the Yellow Lantern Corps. He did a good job as the leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps, but this still did not meet the requirements of Parallax Monster. The instinct of this ancient chaotic creature told him that if he followed the Yellow Lantern, he would be hungry for nine meals in three days.
So, when a terrifying black tide closer to the origin of the universe came, the brain of the Parallax Monster suddenly became excited. If he had to summarize his thoughts at that time into human words, it would be nothing more than one word "food!"
Feeling the incomparable and powerful fear coming to him, the Parallax Monster didn't even look at Sinestro, and ran into Batman's arms without looking back.
Sinestro, who came back from an errand, was dumbfounded. Where is such a big Parallax Monster? ! It was here just now? ? ?
It's no small matter that the lantern beast is lost. Sinestro must find it. Fortunately, when he was studying the method of fusing lantern beasts, he modified the lamp furnace of the Yellow Lantern. The lamp furnace will guide him to the location of the Yellow Lantern beast, that is, the earth.
At this time, on Earth, in the attic of an old apartment building in the East District of Gotham City, Maggie looked at the little girl in Selina's arms and opened her mouth in surprise.
"Oh my God! Selina! What have you done? You actually! Actually..."
Selina stared at her best friend's face and said, "What? You don't think that a child was born in the three weeks since I and you were separated?"
"But...but..." Maggie, who was sitting in a wheelchair, blushed. She pointed at the little girl's face and said, "But she looks exactly like your boyfriend Wayne!"
"That's right, because this is indeed his daughter, but not mine."
Maggie's eyes almost popped out, and she said in disbelief, "You mean, this is Wayne's illegitimate daughter?? God! Selina! When did you become so generous?! You actually raised an illegitimate daughter for Bruce who was not worthy of respect???"
"This matter is very complicated. Aisha has no mother, or she actually..."
"Oh, I see, her mother 'died', right?"
Selina shrugged and said, "Okay, that's it."
Maggie covered her mouth with her fingers He held her forehead and said, "You didn't really believe that man's lies, did you? Died? I hope she really died, otherwise, one day you may also be 'died' like this..."
Maggie frowned and gradually became serious. She said to Selena, "Selena, I have nothing to say about your love life, but I must remind you this time that this is not a wise decision..."
"Today you can accept an illegitimate daughter, will you have to accept a lot of illegitimate children tomorrow? You are not even his wife, but you have to raise children for him first?"
"Okay, Maggie, I know you care about me, but this matter is really complicated. Anyway, you know that I will not suffer any loss."
"Everyone thinks so." Maggie turned her wheelchair to the bedside, and she said in a low voice: "Do you still remember the beautiful Catherine on Pickerel Street in the East District?"
"Catherine? Oh, I remember, her blonde hair is really enviable, what happened to her?"
"She thinks the same as you..."
Maggie continued to turn the wheelchair closer to Selina and said, "A few months ago, a rich man came to Barracuda Street. It is said that he came from Imperial City and had a lot of money. He once spent a lot of money in the largest casino in Imperial City, and caused a sensation in the entire gambling city overnight..."
"The nightclub where Catherine works always does this kind of thing. They deliberately spilled wine on Catherine and asked her to go to the bathroom to clean it up, and then let the rich man pretend to meet by chance, and they met like this..."
"Catherine is pretty enough and smart, but the rich man's sweet words and large sums of money confused her mind and she believed that "During this period, this man's mistresses in other parts of Gotham came to her house and almost scratched Catherine's face. In this regard, she was not at an advantage because she was just a poor girl in the East District, while many of that man's other mistresses were socialites in the West District and the South District." "This made her feel unfair and resentful, and all kinds of negative emotions devoured her reason..." "In order to consolidate her position, Catherine came up with a stupid idea. She heard that the rich man had more than a dozen children, and heard that the mothers of these children used these children to get "She got a lot of child support, and some of them even let her live in his mansion..."
"So she found a way to get pregnant, but..."
Seeing Maggie's depressed face, Selina had guessed the ending, but she still asked, "How did she end up?"
"Of course the rich man didn't want the child. He said it was a bastard that Catherine got pregnant with while having an affair. In fact, we all know that he just didn't like Catherine's background..."
"He coaxed her to have an abortion, but the abortion doctor he found for her was completely unprofessional. It almost cost her life. If Catherine hadn't been in good health, she would have survived. If she goes over, she will really die. "
"But this caused serious damage to Catherine, leaving a lot of sequelae, making her body weaker than me, and she can hardly do any work, but..." Maggie shook her head again and said: "She is not like me, with a good friend like you, running around every day, and taking care of me. Now she should be doing some flesh trade in the back street of the barracuda, under the control of the most vicious fat mother..."
When this name was mentioned, even Selena shuddered. She was one of the most vicious madams in the East District. Most of the girls under her control did not survive for more than a year.
"Katherine won't live long." Maggie looked into Selina's eyes and said, "You can't imagine how vicious those rich people are. They look at us like garbage on the roadside..."
"Selina, I know you are having a hot relationship with your boyfriend, the rich Wayne. Yes, he is different from most rich men. He is handsome, rich, and even willing to travel with you, but this is only temporary..."
"Maybe he will be attracted by your beauty for a while, but it won't last forever. The rich man who hurt Katherine also promised her all kinds of beautiful futures, deceiving this originally smart girl. I'm really afraid that you will be like this..."
"In the East District, there are countless similar stories. Many girls here have beautiful faces, but they don't have the ability to protect themselves. Katherine's father was once a whaler and had good martial arts. Therefore, no one dared to touch her before this incident, but there are many girls who are worse off than her... …”
“Selena, I really don’t want to hit you when you are pursuing happiness, but in most cases, love with such a huge class gap will not have a future…”
Selena lowered her eyes, she hugged Aisha and sat on the bed. Aisha was mumbling in her mouth. Selena stroked her hair and said, “I know you are doing this for my own good, but everyone is like this. When listening to other people’s stories, you always feel that you have understood everything, but when it comes to yourself, it’s another way.”
Before Maggie could continue to persuade her, Selena stood up and stuffed Aisha into Maggie’s arms. Maggie looked at the cute little girl in her arms staring at her with big blue eyes, and she exclaimed, “Oh! My God, she is so cute…”
It’s not that Maggie is bluffing. As long as Aisha doesn’t show her fangs, she looks very beautiful and cute. If she debuts as a child star in Hollywood, she can take on all the cute little girl roles in the next few years. After all, Bruce’s appearance genes are impeccable.
Selina spread her hands and said, "See, that's it. You didn't have this attitude at the beginning..."
Maggie kissed Aisha's face. Selina looked at Aisha who was still quiet and felt relieved.
"You really came at a good time. If it was the first day, we would both be crazy now."
Thinking of her bad experience, Selina sighed and said, "These days, I understand one thing, that is, I really love Bruce. If I love him less, I can't hold on for so many days..."
"What? Are you saying she is naughty?" Maggie touched Aisha's face. Just as Selina was about to complain to her, Aisha screamed and jumped out of Maggie's arms. She rushed to the window at a speed that ordinary people could not see clearly, and then jumped out.
"Oh! No!" Maggie exclaimed.
She turned her wheelchair hard and came to the window. Selina followed her. Maggie watched Aisha's small figure jump down from the awning on the second floor. She covered her mouth and said, "What's going on? How can she be so fast?"
Then, her expression turned into panic, and she said anxiously, "Catch up with her! Selina! This is the East District. It will be dangerous if we are targeted by the nearby gangs!"
Selina looked at Maggie's sincere and anxious eyes, and still silently suppressed the words in her heart, "It may not be Aisha who is in danger."
