Chapter 13 Separation
CHAPTER XIII
Bringing Peter and Diana to the conference building, the little secretary's job is done, and Steve II waits for a long time.
"Diana, Black Superman!" He greeted him warmly, except that he was visibly more fearful and respectful to Peter.
It is worth mentioning that the moment he saw Diana, he was directly stunned in place, and his eyes were straight.
"What's wrong?" Diana asked curiously.
"Oh, no...... It's nothing ......" Steve II quickly looked away, temporarily avoiding Diana's beauty.
He knew that Diana was good-looking, but Diana's dress was biased towards the style of Amazon warriors before, and the feeling was not too strong.
At this time, after changing into these regular clothes, the charm of being a woman can be said to have increased exponentially.
For some reason, he gave Peter a sour look, feeling that he had lost something very important.
Of course, this thought is only absurd in my mind, and there are more important things to do in front of me.
The little secretary also said dissatisfiedly: "Hey! Steve, and me! β
Steve Two came back to his senses, "Oh, I'm sorry ......"
He greeted the little secretary for a while, and sent the little secretary away, there were only three people left on the scene, he took a deep breath, and said:
"Next...... Well, we're going to have an interrogation, of course, to get to know each other, and nothing else......"
He said very tactfully and cautiously.
This made Diana uncomfortable, and she felt that the attitude of the people around her had changed a lot after last night.
The others don't care, even Steve.
Diana fell silent and walked into a conference room with Steve II.
There's nothing to say about the process, after experiencing the Earth Explosion Star, everyone fully felt Peter's kindness, and the atmosphere was extremely rare kindness.
Generals, knights and ministers are surprisingly considerate.
The problem is mainly concentrated in several aspects,
The identity of Peter and Diana, at least on their side.
Diana still didn't have to say that the identity of the Amazon princess was thrown out early, as for Peter,
"I'm just a passing traveler."
Everyone was slightly silent, and it could be seen that they were a little confused about this answer, but because of the huge bat statue standing outside the window, they could only jump to the next question.
"What is the purpose of the two of you?"
"Naturally, it is to defeat Ares, end the war, and save those who have been affected by the war." Diana said without hesitation,
"Of course, Ares was defeated by us yesterday, and you can end the war."
Naturally, this answer caused a stir.
Without him, although everyone present was more or less prepared, what they saw with their own eyes still seemed a little funny.
But everything yesterday was in front of them, reminding them of this funny fact all the time, and they could only accept it.
However, Diana's words also made many people feel certain, and immediately said:
"I'm sorry, we can't stop the war."
Diana was stunned when she heard this, and she was a little anxious, "Why?" Obviously Ares has been defeated. β
In the records of the Amazons, in the past, many gods of war instigated human wars for their own selfish desires, but every time they defeated Ares, the war would quickly stop.
As for the logic in this, or the internal record, it is very pitiful.
She thought that the mission of her trip was completed, but today, it seemed that there was still a problem.
The senators present knew too little about Diana and Peter, and they were a little too naΓ―ve to respond to these words for a while.
Steve II sighed, knowing it was his turn.
Generally speaking, he is a small person, and he is not qualified to be in the same room with so many elders.
"Diana ......," he called, said:
"Although Ares is dead, the war he started has finally happened, and we still need to defeat our enemies and put an end to everything in front of us."
He knew what angle it was best to coax Diana, and he really thought so.
As everyone knows, the upper echelons have been fighting for almost four years of war, and they are almost unable to hold up and prepare for peace talks, even if this peace talks only bring peace for 20 years.
It's just that because of the appearance of Peter and Diana, some of them have an ambition.
Perhaps, it is possible to take advantage of ......
In particular, Ares played Mogen is an important figure of the dove, and as soon as he dies, peace talks are even more slim.
Diana didn't know about these things, but was a little dazed by what was in front of her.
Of course, she was not a fool, and quickly read the meaning of the important people present, and frowned:
"You want me to help you fight?"
β¦β¦
Diana spent almost all day today in confrontations with various politicians.
Frankly, Diana didn't want to get involved in this war...... It's one thing to fight Ares, it's another thing to get involved in the war between humans and humans.
However, if she does not intervene, the war does not know when it will end, and innocent people are hurt and lose their lives every moment.
This made her and in the tangle.
At the end of the day, she felt more tired than she had fought all day, her temples bulging, and her head swelling.
What's even more annoying is that
She took the opportunity to break through the crowd and looked at Peter, who was leaning against the pillar.
"How can you do this!"
The hateful Black Superman, halfway through, threw all the problems to her and ran out alone.
Even if someone asked, she was quickly called back, saying that she was responsible.
For the sake of the war, I was fortunate to deal with those mortal guys inside, and Black Superman was good, and he was out alone.
Peter looked at her, the corners of his mouth curled, "Because it's pointless." β
"How can it be pointless?" The fledgling Diana was still very naΓ―ve,
"We're saving millions of lives."
"Fighting them here will only drain your energy and make you physically and mentally exhausted, Diana."
This left Diana in silence.
"Take the liberty of excuse me, both."
A voice sounded from the side, and Diana looked like a man with a decent demeanor.
"My master, I hope to meet the two of you in the future." The man said.
It seems that he is just a broker, or an attendant.
"Who is the master of your house?" Diana asked with a frown.
The attendant smiled slightly, and did not answer Diana's question directly, but said:
"The skills of the two of you are outstanding, and I believe that my master can give you more help."
Diana let out a long breath, and the exhaustion in her eyes was even worse,
"I see."
Obviously she was ending the war, but these people ...... For the first time, Diana was disappointed in humanity.
When the man was gone, Diana looked at Peter and asked:
"What should I do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Should I ...... To the front? β
If the enemy was Ares, Diana would not hesitate, but the enemy was just an ordinary person......
Peter didn't respond to her directly, but said, "Come out for a walk with me." β
Diana blinked, and after a little hesitation, she nodded slightly,
"Hmm."
Walking again in the London joint, at this time it was already sunset,
The golden light penetrates the slightly moist air, and it is surrounded by lively citizens, bustling, and completely exotic buildings, and there is no shadow of war at all.
These were all new to Diana, even if she had already walked through it in the morning.
She followed Peter, a little confused about what she was going to do now and what it had to do with her problem.
However, she found that walking outside, her vision was wide, the air was no longer boring, and her mood was indeed soothed.
Well, anyway, it's right to run away from that annoying place, those guys will only pull your energy, Diana.
Diana said secretly in her heart, and found that there seemed to be more and more people around her, it seemed to be a dock, and she became more and more curious.
She soon saw a strange stall on the side of the road, and the owner of the stall seemed to be eyeing her, so she asked:
"Would you like some ice cream? Lady. β
"Ice cream? What is Ice Cream? Diana looked at Peter.
Peter had to sigh in his heart about Diana's indissoluble bond with ice cream, saying:
"Let's have one."
"Yes, sir, 8pence."
He didn't know where to find the quick money, "No need to look for it." β
Diana looked curiously at the ice cream in her hand, looked at it, and stretched out the pink slugs a little rustily and licked it.
The icy touch and sweet taste buds bloom on the tip of the tongue.
Diana's eyes widened for a moment, and after a quick bite of it, she closed her eyes with a happy face, and said movingly:
"This ...... It's so delicious. β
She looked at Peter,
"Why is there such a delicious thing......"
The mood that had been irritated by those parliamentarians was healed in an instant, and the clouds turned sunny and sunny to the sun.
Well, humanity still seems to be worth saving! Diana thought to herself.
Peter watched the scene with interest.
This is a classic scene of many DC comics or animations, and every time it is restarted, Diana will sigh at the greatness of ice cream.
Diana licked two more bites, and the whole person was deeply immersed in happiness.
But perceiving Peter's gaze, she seemed to have misunderstood something, and after a little hesitation, she still frowned and handed over the ice cream,
"A little bit for you?"
"......" Peter shook his head and continued walking.
Diana breathed a sigh of relief and licked the white gooey juice into her mouth as she happily followed Peter.
Finally, after eating the ice cream whole, Diana felt very satisfied, and her mind was still planning when to go to the stall to buy two more.
At this time, Peter, who was walking in front, stopped, and Diana almost bumped into it, so she had to walk up to him and ask:
"What's wrong?"
"Here we are."
Arrived?
Diana didn't know why, and turned her head to look ahead.
Ahead was a huge steamer, she had never seen such a large ship, much larger than the warship that had been chasing Steve, and many people were coming down from it.
She didn't understand why Superman had brought her here until a large number of soldiers had come down from the ship.
Only then did Diana understand that this was a ship transporting soldiers.
Soldiers who were wounded, disabled, unable to fight on the battlefield were brought back.
She was now right in front of the road, watching these soldiers from the battlefield coming towards her,
They were all gray-faced, their eyes were empty, and they were completely lifeless, as if they were just walking corpses.
Many of the soldiers with severed limbs were on crutches, either supported or wailing out of pain.
She froze in place, watching the soldiers walk up to her and pass past her.
Steady stream.
The cruelty of war was so abruptly displayed in front of her.
She is a warrior who has been trained by her teacher since she was a child, and she understands that war kills people, many people die, and it is cruel.
So when she heard that millions of people on Earth were drawn into the war because of Ares' instigation, she rushed out without hesitation.
But after all, seeing is believing, and only at this moment witnessing the tragic situation of these soldiers coming down from the battlefield can she truly realize the cruelty of war.
Not to mention that there are many more who won't even come back.
Even on the other side of the road, more recruited soldiers were marching in the opposite direction, like a swarm of ants, towards the ship.
That's the people who are going to war.
Diana was shaken all over her body, and the joy she had just felt because of the ice cream was gone.
"No, the war can't go on like this."
β¦β¦
Going out in a dull mood, and with an even heavier heart, Diana returned to the hotel.
But compared with her previous hesitation, her heart was now full of firmness again.
Among the equipment brought from Paradise Island, the cuirass, the belt, and the Lasso of Truth were nothing, but the shield and the sword of the god were all destroyed in the battle with Ares.
She wiped the half-broken god-killing sword in her ship's battle suit, and she had already made up her mind to go to the battlefield.
She had to end the war as soon as possible, or thousands of people would die every moment.
Before that, though, she had one more thing to do.
Diana walked to the next room of Black Superman, knocked on the door, and got permission to enter.
Black Superman seemed to have expected her to come back and had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the man in front of her, although the two have known each other for a short time, they have experienced a lot, and at the same time, the other party has also helped her a lot, all of which she remembers in her heart.
So the mood is a little low at the moment.
"Thank you for your help these two days, Black Superman." Diana thanked her very formally.
"It's nothing, I promised your mother to take care of it."
Diana frowned slightly, as if Black Superman was her elder...... But her thoughts only flickered, and she took a deep breath and said:
"I have decided, I will go to the front line and end this war as soon as possible."
"And then?" Peter looked at her and said.
Diana pursed her lips, "Although we may have to separate next, I won't forget you, and you can always come to me if you need to!" β
"I'll always be your friend!"
There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and since the decision has been made, it also represents the arrival of separation.
She never forgot that Black Superman's goal was to "go home" and return to the universe that belonged to him.
Ares has come to an end, and she really shouldn't be dragging others down anymore, can't she let him take care of herself all the time, right?
There was a little reluctance in her heart, after all, in this human world, the only person she knew and trusted seemed to be Black Superman (Steve: ?). Diana squeezed out a smile and said:
"Maybe when I'm done with this fight, I can go over and help you again."
"It doesn't have to be." Peter rejected her, which made Diana stunned, and the smile on her face was even more reluctant,
"Okay...... So, leave it at that? β
She turned around a little disappointed, ready to leave the room.
Well, you seem to be a little self-conscious, Diana. She thought with a sigh in her heart.
It wasn't until she walked to the door frame that a sentence came from behind her,
"Who said I was leaving?"
She was stunned, and quickly came back to her senses,
"But, but, you're not going home? Looking for a way back to your universe? β
Peter nodded, "I'll go with you, and that's the way home." β
If it is said that how to earn points the fastest in this world now, it must undoubtedly solve the problems on the battlefield.
Perception brushed over, and it was a yellow exclamation mark full of screens.
For the layout after that, he finally had some patience to accompany Diana to play for the past two days, and now you tell him to cross the river and tear down the bridge and go alone?
What kind of jokes, cutting off people's financial routes, it's like killing parents, hey!
If it goes well, the 100w points of Marvel anchor will be saved soon, and there will be a lot left.
Of course, some people will say that if the war can be used to earn points, then as long as you start a few more wars, the points will not be captured.
Theoretically, yes, but by then, the anti-hero stance will definitely have already skewed to the villain, or even more chaotic.
And then again,
Although I don't know what Black Superman's "coming home" is about the war, Diana's eyes still lit up in an instant,
"In other words, we'll be together next?"
β¦β¦
