Chapter 175 Chapter 174 Star-Lord's Surprise, A-Zu's Nightmare
"No, that's not the future, Clark."
Peter patted his shoulder and said to him: "Or rather, that's just a possible future you saw. Destiny is like a woven thread. It will extend to many different futures as you choose. Which one did you see, Clark? You thought you saw the future, but in fact, it was just one of many possibilities."
"But now I've even met Wonder Woman. If I make the wrong choice, Godfather, will you forgive me?"
Clark felt that he had to make a promise.
In case he really strangled Loki to death by accident, although the possibility of this was very small, he had to take precautions in advance and let the Godfather forgive himself in this abnormal state.
"Of course, I will forgive you, Clark, but if you really do something irreparable, such as punching the Joker's heart out with one punch, and then delusionally ruling the world, then I will be very disappointed in you."
Peter teased him seriously.
Clark asked in confusion: "Why do I want to take out the Joker's heart? Who is the Joker? And, Godfather, I have no interest in ruling the world. I would rather be a farmer on the farm, but my father wants me to go to college."
"I also believe that you will not rule the world, Clark,"
Peter said that he was joking just now, and he would believe Clark's choice no matter what.
"Clark, you are a kind person, a kind and upright person, he will not make a choice that is completely contrary to his nature."
Although he said so, Peter fell into deep thought.
In the future, he must protect Lois Lane. Once this woman is gone, this kid may really go to extremes.
Of course, this is something that needs to be considered after the two meet in the future.
I don't know if Peter thought of his future girlfriend at this time, Clark felt a little better.
After a moment, he suddenly remembered something, looked around slyly, and after confirming that Azu and Loki didn't pay attention to this side, he whispered to Peter: "Godfather, I actually think Wonder Woman just now is a good person."
At least in the future he saw, the other party was a woman who adhered to principles.
"Hmm?"
Peter looked at him with a puzzled look.
Isn't Lana the object of this boy's affection now?
He has changed his mind so quickly?
"Well, I was just talking casually."
Clark said unnaturally: "I'm going upstairs to rest. Good night, Godfather."
Peter looked at Clark who fled in panic, frowning slightly.
This boy wouldn't say that to him.
Upstairs, in Star-Lord's room.
Star-Lord, who had been fiddling with the tapes, looked at the messy and somewhat confusing tapes, and put them away helplessly.
"Well, it seems that tapes are indeed outdated. Everyone likes to listen to digital music."
After complaining, Star-Lord stood up and recalled what happened during the day.
He was not interested in the gods of Olympus at all.
This group of so-called gods seemed not as strong as his father and Azu.
But he was quite concerned about the so-called three-piece set of Sandman that Loki gave to his father.
With a bang, he sat down on the chair, leaning back, thinking about what birthday gift to give his father.
What does Dad like?
Star-Lord fell into thinking.
US dollars?
It seems that Dad has no shortage of this. Anyway, his family has never had the trouble of paying off credit cards like the Clark family.
Or give a magical artifact like Loki?
Unfortunately, he doesn't know any gods like the God of Death, so he can borrow from them.
If I had my own spaceship, I could go to the universe and find some treasures to give to my father.
Taking off the headphones on his ears, Star-Lord suddenly thought of something.
He searched through the boxes and took out a music CD from the drawer.
Looking at the female singer dressed up on the CD, Star-Lord suddenly had an idea.
Why not give Dad a special person?
He remembered that his father once mentioned the female singer named "Taylor Swafford" in front of him, who sang well.
Maybe he could invite her to the farm to sing for Dad?
The more Star-Lord thought about it, the more he thought this plan was feasible.
So he sat down and began to study how to create this surprise for Peter.
As for whether the other party was willing to come, it was not within his consideration.
On the other hand, Peter didn't know that Star-Lord was going to learn from Loki and give him a surprise.
He sat at the desk and looked at the three artifacts in front of him.
The symbolic meaning of the Sandman helmet is greater than the practical meaning, there is nothing to study.
Peter focused his eyes on the sandbag and ruby in front of him.
The function of the sandbag is the most incredible. It can not only pull others into dreams, but also reproduce dreams in the real world.
While thinking, he opened the sandbag.
As a vast magic power condensed in his palm, all the dreams nearby were glimpsed by him in an instant.
The sand expanded outward with his thoughts, and the infinite spiritual world was listed by him.
Peter saw the dreams of Azu and Clark, as well as the dreams of Zora next door.
Azu's nightmare, Clark was swimming naked in the lake with Lana, and Zora was in a bar with a handsome man.
Expanding outward, he could see the dreams of the people in the entire town.
They were colorful, with all kinds of strange and bizarre dreams.
Letting the sand flow out from his fingers, Peter thought for a while, closed his eyes, and instantly entered Azu's dream world.
Azu's dream world was dark and empty at first, and then a little light lit up the whole world.
In the dream world, Azu replayed the nightmare in the laboratory again.
He was locked up in a laboratory, and researchers used flames to test the strength of his body.
As the temperature of the flame gradually increased, Azu gradually felt severe pain in his body.
He screamed and slapped the window hard with his hands.
But the people outside the laboratory turned a deaf ear and were still taking notes on the experiments with expressionless faces.
Peter couldn't bear to see Azu's nightmare.
He didn't expect that most of Azu's dreams about himself in another world would be filled with such scenes of pain and torture.
Azu, who has always lacked love and security, is actually constantly affected by dreams.
He thought he had given Azu enough affection, but with the arrival of Star-Lord and Loki, his feelings were dispersed, and his anxiety and fear did not disappear, but rather increased.
Shaking his head, Peter let out a little sand between his fingers.
As the sand flew out, Azu's dream suddenly changed.
The laboratories and incinerators disappeared, replaced by a farm covered with crops.
Azu, who was originally trapped in the incineration room, looked at the change of scene with extremely shocked eyes.
Everything familiar in the farm appeared in his sight.
Azu looked blankly at the farm in the dream and saw his father, Star-Lord, Clark and Loki walking towards him.
There is no fear anymore, instead there is expectation and joy.
The nightmare disappeared and warm dreams filled in.
Peter, who had changed Azu's dream, drew an arc at the corner of his mouth and exited the dream world.
Looking at the sandbag in his hand, he shook his head.
All he could do was to let Azu have a good sleep tonight.
But dreams are ultimately illusory.
Dreams do not need language. They are gardens deep in the soul. They can even make people forget the pain and unbearability of reality. However, falsehood can never replace reality, nor is it a future that can be pursued.
Although the sandbag has magical powers and can even make people immortal, if ordinary people get hold of it, they will probably be on the verge of death and indulge in endless dreams.
Because it...is truly the painful antidote to reality.
The next day, early morning.
Peter had dinner with some naughty kids.
Azu has a good appetite. He is usually a little dissatisfied with Peter's cooking skills, but today he has a huge appetite.
A news item on television caught his attention.
"The outbreak in Pennsylvania began yesterday. Some experts believe that this 'narcolepsy' is a type of epidemic encephalitis, in which patients fall into a deep sleep and cannot wake up. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also believes that this is a type of epidemic encephalitis. Infectious diseases, there are currently more than 20 patients.”
Watching the news on TV, Peter fell into deep thought.
Loki was a little restless.
He knew it must be because Sandman was imprisoned.
But this is not imprisoned by him, and it has nothing to do with him.
"dad?"
Star-Lord put down the knife and asked Peter: "Is this narcolepsy related to Sandman?"
"I don't know, but it's probably related."
Peter said calmly: "As long as the Sandman escapes, there is a high probability that those people will wake up."
He could actually rescue the Sandman.
But he doesn't do business at a loss.
The escaped Sandman will definitely come to him and ask for the artifact. Will he give it to him or not?
Not only does this guy have five brothers and sisters, I heard that they are all concept gods, and each one of them is a ruthless character.
If you give it to me, wouldn’t you be very embarrassed?
"Loki, do you know where the Sandman is imprisoned?"
Peter looked at him thoughtfully.
Last night, Loki only talked about the three artifacts he had stolen from an ancient castle, but did not say that he was involved in imprisoning the Sandman.
That was done by the wizard Ronan. What does it have to do with me, Loki?
"No, I don't know, Dad."
Loki said guiltily.
He felt as if his father could read his mind.
"I think"
Azu suddenly spoke: "Before the Sandman arrives, Dad, we can keep it safe for him."
Peter nodded to him and asked, "What if he comes?"
"Then he might be fake."
Azu said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Star-Lord:.
It seems that I am too naive?
Azu also has considerable interest in the three artifacts.
I heard Peter say before that Sandman's sandbag can even allow people to travel through space.
If there really is another world, maybe I can use this prop to go to another parallel world where I am.
There are a lot of good things there that I want to get.
Thank you all for your votes.
I recommend a book called Seedlings, for book lovers, and everyone who is interested can read it.
"American Comics: Work overtime, and then start fighting Superman"
“The thing about finance is that Lex Luthor only has to deal with Superman, and as Lex Finance I have a lot to think about.
For example, how much does it cost to develop Luthor’s suit;
The money spent on cultivating Superboy;
Daily battle losses and expenses of the Legion of Destruction;
Rumors about Stark Industries’ stock market;
And how to kill the Wayne Group’s money tree with boiling water. ”
