Chapter 19: The Pied Piper and Leonard
In the parking lot opposite the "Scoundrel" bar, Yuri parked his old broken car inside.
The name of the bar was taken by Yuri, as none of the signs in the bar had the name on it.
"I knew there must be a problem here, the bar doesn't close during the day?"
Staring at the bar opposite, Yuri knew he had come to the right place.
Yuri couldn't wait to take out the toy binoculars he had bought from the supermarket for three dollars and five dollars, and kept looking at the window of the bar opposite.
The "Villain" bar is small, only one side by the window can sit people, and the other side is the bartender's bar, so you can basically tell how many people are in it by staring at the window.
I saw a man lying on a table, with white hair and a blue sleeveless jacket, which should be the drunkard Yuri saw the last time he came here.
No other drinkers were seen other than this man.
It's a bit of a remote place, with very few pedestrians on the road, and not even a single one walking into a bar.
I stared at it for a long time, but I didn't wait for the person Yuri wanted to see.
Now what? Why don't you just go in and ask the bartender if you know where the "network" is?
Just when Yuri was waiting impatiently and was about to force his way, a turning point appeared.
A suspicious man walked into the bar.
How suspicious is it? He didn't take the road, but had to climb down from the roof next door to the bar.
Even if he climbed down, he was still wearing a black tights, green boots, a green cloak, and a green hood in broad daylight.
He also has a green flute pinned to his waist.
Except for the black underneath, the whole body is green.
It's strange to look at, but there aren't many people in the Twin Cities who don't know what that dress means.
"This guy seems to be- the Pied Piper?"
Yuri was immediately interested, the Pied Piper is a big celebrity, he used to be in the scoundrel gang, and then he didn't know why he changed his ways, and now he is an anonymous street hero, and he has teamed up with The Flash many times.
When he first reformed, it was an exclusive report written by Linda Parker, the fiancée of the Lightning Kid.
What does it mean that the former villain, now the hero, sneaks up to a suspected criminal bar?
It must be impossible to guess, so Yuri decides to go and see for himself.
Start the small broken table.
"Transform—Ghost!"
Inside the bar.
The Pied Piper didn't seem to be here for a drink, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he went straight to the only table where there were guests.
"What did you tell me to do, Leonard? You should know that we can't meet right now. ”
Leonard, the white-haired man, got up from the table, rubbed his eyes tiredly, and the smell of alcohol came to his nose.
"The Magic Flute? You're here, don't you sit down and have a couple of drinks? I'm in for a treat. ”
"No," said the Pied Piper, who walked over to the seat across from Leonard, and said with a blank face, "what do you want from me?" ”
"Why are you so hostile to me? I am also a good citizen now. ”
Leonard clasped his hands to his chest and hooked the corners of his mouth.
"I haven't seen my old friend for a long time, and you're going to put on such a stinky face all the time?"
Hearing this, the Pied Piper fell silent.
After a while, the Pied Piper sighed, his expression softened considerably, and asked, "Is Lisa okay?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Leonard's smile disappeared instantly, and his face became gloomy, "Her brain tumor is getting bigger and bigger, and the doctor said that she has almost no hope of cure......"
"Do you know what I thought at the time?"
Leonard raised his head and stared at the Pied Piper's eyes, and said with a hideous expression, "I wanted to freeze the head of that quack doctor who couldn't cure my sister into ice, and then shatter it into ice slag!" No, I'm going to freeze the whole hospital! ”
"I spent all my savings, even the company I built with Lisa was sold, just so that she could get the best treatment, but all I got was 'she may never be cured'!"
"But I can't do anything in the end, because I need them to keep Lisa alive."
"Why did God take away my only relative, and why did this to me?"
Leonard muttered to himself.
The Pied Piper waited quietly for Leonard to finish his emotions before speaking, and his expression that had tended to be soft was gone, "That's why everyone likes Lisa and doesn't like you, Leonard, you always choose to forget your mistakes. ”
I saw the Pied Piper pointing at Leonard with a cold face and said, "If it weren't for your self-righteousness, Lisa wouldn't have become what she is now, and Mark, Sam, and Mick were all miserable by you!" ”
"Don't look like a pitiful person to me, I feel sorry for what happened to Lisa, but I won't sympathize with you, and I won't forgive you for what you did to the Rogue Gang."
"Won't forgive me for what I did to the Rogues? And what about what you did to the scoundrels! ”
Being blamed by the Pied Piper makes Leonard furious.
"You have betrayed us! When you lost yourself in the thrill of crime, it was the Rogue Gang who took you in, and it was I who helped you find yourself, even when we later found out that you were a gay, and still accepted you! ”
"But what did you do to us? You even went on a date with a strip, and even quit the scoundrel gang to be some kind of bullshit vigilante against us, you betrayed us! ”
The Pied Piper's anger also came up, "I didn't betray the Rogue Gang!" ”
"I never told David about the Rogue Gang, and he never forced me to say this, and the reason I stopped you from committing the crime is because I don't want you to be a wanted man forever!"
"Yes, you want us to be the lackeys of those politicians, who shout that black lives matter, but who practice white supremacy, and you call it salvation."
Leonard sneered, "Old James and Mick believed your nonsense and really went to join the FBI, but I never will." ”
"They're not going to be anyone's lackeys, they're doing what they want."
The Pied Piper's face gradually calmed down, and he didn't know why he was angry with Leonard, or even why he had come here.
Leonard...... No, Lenny, I appreciate everything you've helped me in the first place, but you need to know what's right. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Pied Piper rose from his seat and walked straight out the door.
"The Internet has done a lot of big things lately."
At that moment, Leonard's voice came from behind the Pied Piper.
"The blacksmith sent a little ghost to steal old James's equipment, and now he claims to be a second-generation magician, and he went to the FBI branch last night to make a big fuss, I guess the FBI didn't tell you about these things."
The Pied Piper paused, frowned, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"The blacksmith is making a move on the Flash's allies, I don't know how many people have been tricked, but sooner or later it will be your turn."
Leonard said quietly, "You are an old member of the Rogue Gang, I don't want you to be planted in the hands of nobodies and tarnish the reputation of the Rogue Gang......"
With that, Leonard lay down on the table and fell asleep.
"Thank you."
The Pied Piper's eyes were complicated, and after thanking him, he pushed open the door and walked out.
No one noticed, and something invisible floated out after him......
