Chapter 21: Filial piety deteriorates
After Sherry got into the car, Clark became a lot more restrained this time, a little nervous, and kept touching the top of the hourglass with his thumb.
"Give me back that thing, Clark, what you borrowed from me earlier."
As soon as Shirley got into the car, he reached out and begged for an hourglass.
Clark suddenly became nervous, and to be honest, he didn't want to pay it back.
Death, God, the god of time......
He used various titles to guess Shirley's identity, and he was afraid that if the hourglass was taken back by Shirley, Jonathan would die again.
"You two know each other, Clark, and it's not a good habit to borrow things." Martha looked at Clark a little angry.
After turning back the clock, Shirley didn't have an hourglass in his hand, and Jonathan didn't hear the phrase "it's your time" this time, he also looked at Clark.
Clark couldn't say that the hourglass was his father's time, and he didn't want to return it.
"What you want has changed, the rest is to do what you have to do, Clark."
Shirley just looked at him.
Clark took a deep breath and returned the hourglass.
His reluctance was not motivated by a desire for the power of time, but by the fear that he might lose his father again.
Shirley caught the hourglass and got out of the car, and he headed to the right side of the road.
Jonathan sensed something strange about the kid, and just as he was about to get out of the car to retrieve him, the wind raged.
A tornado that should have been more than an hour later appeared in the eyes of the family, and it rushed into the field, in front of the child.
Then, they watched as the cute and beautiful child stepped into the tornado without looking back, and Martha covered her mouth in fear, not knowing what to say.
This time, they both noticed that Clark, who had always advocated using his power to save others, did not make any moves.
"Clark, have you changed ......?"
Even if Clark was honest and obedient this time and didn't save anyone, Jonathan opened his mouth to ask something, he was afraid that Clark would change his original intention.
Martha also seeks this answer, and every change in Clark makes them feel close to it.
Clark watched as the tornado vanished.
He looked at his parents and said very seriously.
"He didn't die, He stepped on a tornado and left, He wasn't hurt in the slightest, He was...... I think He should be God! ”
When his own child, who has all kinds of god-like superpowers, says that another child is a god, Jonathan does not contradict it like a normal parent and asks the child not to lie.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was calm, and he remembered the tearful reaction that Clark had just had when he hugged him.
"I've already died once, haven't I?" Jonathan was a very intelligent man, and his philosopher-thinker was partly higher than his status as a peasant.
Martha looked at the father and son, and only wondered if there was something wrong with this world.
"Yes, he stopped the car the second time, and the first time, he gave me that hourglass ......"
Clark then explained all the process to his parents, and he would not hide it from them.
"Oh God!"
Immediately after hearing all this, Martha prayed that she had already believed, because the hourglass, which she had never seen with Clark, seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"God went away with the calamity that killed me, for what? Do you pay the fare? This time he wasn't in the car. ”
Jonathan looked at the wallet, and in Clarke's narrative, the five hundred and twenty dollars that the first sherry paid was gone.
But the cat can was left in the place where Shirley had just sat down.
"Pretty good deal, isn't it?" Martha's forehead pressed against Jonathan's forehead and pulled Clark over, and Hank leaned his head against it, which was their moment of gratitude.
Subsequently, the family was immersed in the laughter and laughter of the rest of their lives.
And at the moment, Wyoming is a small playground.
Shirley really didn't take the five hundred and twenty dollars, it was Fiora who took them.
"Humanity is always suffering from gains and losses." After commenting on this sentence, he was held in Fiora's arms and put on a roller coaster.
This small playground that is about to go out of business, three hundred dollars can be covered, and the female boss is wearing cargo pants, saying that she has taught herself a lot of things to save the rest of the maintenance costs, and now she is repairing this thing until she is about to vomit.
In fact, the playground is very neat and clean, it can be seen that she was a little girl with a dream, and she wanted to open a playground when she grew up, and she did it, but unfortunately it was not well managed, and now it is facing closure.
She sat alone smoking, her eyes misty, and watched the beautiful child sit very reluctantly in the arms of his equally beautiful mother.
Three brand-new $100 bills would make her expenses less strained, and at least she would be able to eat a good meal and pack up what she was going to take with her with her stamina.
"I never thought a child would be so good-looking." She sighed.
When she was a child, she wanted to open an amusement park for children, and when she grew up, she found that children were very annoying, but this one was too well-behaved and very beautiful.
But in fact, Shirley was hugged tightly by Fiora, and she whispered to his ear: "Say, how can you make up for my lack of fatherly love for more than 120 years." ”
For one hundred and twenty years, what she took from the female commander of Krypton made her filial piety deteriorate uncontrollably.
Fiora realizes one thing, that is, Shirley is not her biological father in the strict sense of the word, and they are not related by blood, so she can be aggressive to possess Shirley!
The identity of her daughter can make her close to the water and the moon first, no one has an advantage over her, and only she and Shirley are the same kind.
The same genes, the same Krypton's new god, even if it doesn't work now, there is still a lot of time, and Shirley will one day become her alone!
Sitting in Fiora's arms, Shirley experienced all that the little playground had to offer.
Fiora also pretended to be scared, screaming from time to time to hold him tighter, almost melting him in her arms.
Fiora also often sticks to him, and there is only cunning in her eyes when her face is facing each other.
Before leaving the amusement park, Fiora patted the female boss on the shoulder: "I had a great time, thank you!" ”
The young landlady smoked a cigarette, and she didn't know what to say.
Are you sure you're playing in the old lady's amusement park? I always feel like it's the loveless child in your arms!
"So I'll give you a little reward! Think of it as the fulfillment of your childhood dreams. ”
Fio stretched out her finger and tapped the center of the boss's eyebrows, then she turned and picked up Shirley and disappeared.
The young female boss was in good spirits, and she felt that her body was really good, and it had never been as good as it is now.
She looked up at the sky, always felt that the sun was particularly gratifying, and the next moment, she held her head in pain, countless noises broke into her ears, and the interference of various magnetic fields made her even more miserable.
"You are now a Kryptonite, your people, and fifteen years later, I need you to protect a couple living in Kansas and not let me down!"
Fiora's voice rang cold in her head.
Then, the Kryptonian's various abilities and characteristics are instilled into the female boss's mind, and she gains an additional golden Kryptonian ability that normal Kryptonians should not have.
That's instant adaptation.
"Good, my goddess, I wish you a great time playing with the Lord God...... No, your people are loyal to you! Got up from the ground and wiped the mud from her forehead, and the landlady rubbed her head.
"Awesome, I can save a lot of money without eating, just a small problem, how do I get my little cuties to Kansas?"
Glancing at the four hundred and twelve dollars in her pocket, and a few ten-cent coins, the landlady fell into deep thought.
