Chapter 32: The Man Who Can't See the Future
"What's wrong with me?"
David looked at the two surprised people in the room and asked Clark puzzled.
"What do you see?"
Kassandra may understandably not have seen his abilities.
But Clark looked shocked and frightened.
"You ......"
Clark stopped talking, his face struggling.
Do you want to tell your brother?
What David's reaction would be when he learned of this future, and he was wary that he must not become the future, so he simply indulged himself and slid all the way into the darkness.
"Did you see that too, kid?"
Hearing Clark's voice, the blind Cassandra turned her head to Clarke, who was startled.
"I ...... Shouldn't I see it? β
Clark hesitated.
"No one has ever seen it before." Kassandra shook her head.
She uses her ability to predict the future of others, and only she can see the future for herself.
"It's like Mr. Ross, who lost his car keys earlier, and he had to tell me what I had predicted."
But this time is different.
"For ...... Why? β
"We all know that you are different from everyone else."
"I ......" was so shocked by the previous events that his brain almost went blank, and Clark finally remembered in a panic that his ability had been exposed, and his younger brother had been found to be different from others.
"Don't be afraid, Clark."
Seeing Clark's face from a bystander perspective in Future Sight, Cassandra said with a gentle voice and a smile.
"I just found out that I've actually seen you a long time ago."
"Madam has seen me before?" Clark wondered.
When the old woman was blind, Clarke, who was still a baby, arrived on Earth with a meteor shower.
David's expression changed slightly, and he vaguely guessed where the other party was referring to where he had seen it.
Kassandra paused, smiled mysteriously, and turned to say.
"Kid, go close the door."
Confused, Clark walked to the door.
Pressed against the wall of the doorway, a dark-haired figure heard the sound of the room and quickly left.
Turning to close the door that Pete had left with him, Clark returned to the bed, but did not sit down next to his brother.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Clark?"
Looking at Clark's complicated eyes, David wondered what he saw in the future, and pretended not to care and chuckled.
[Worry +32, Panic +30, Fear +25......]
He wasn't particularly interested in the future.
He didn't need much to be told what his fate would be.
But after seeing Clark's reaction, he couldn't help but be curious.
"Clarke's mood now, that's ...... Like the super-enhanced version of the previous worry that I was on the path of depravity? β
David's eyes flickered, and he keenly guessed what Clark might have seen.
But he still wonders, how can he be like Clark fears in the future?
The black-haired girl appeared from around the corner, looked at the house with the door closed, frowned slightly, and was about to whisper back again.
"Kayla?"
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded from behind him.
"It's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Lana pushes the cart by with a surprised expression, not expecting to meet her friend at the party yesterday.
"You're here to volunteer?"
Kayla turned, an unnatural smile on her face, "Yes...... Yes. β
"Some things, even if I'm new to the school, like 30 hours of community service in a semester."
Lana pulled Kayla and talked.
But then she was a little puzzled, and for some reason, Kayla was still very talkative yesterday.
The two had a good conversation, and Kayla asked her a lot about the town's high school, and asked her to introduce the celebrities in each school to get a general impression.
And now Kayla seems to be a little absent-minded now, her eyes drifting to the side from time to time.
β¦β¦
"You're going to be an amazing person in the future."
In the room, Cassandra laughed.
"In someone else's future, there will be pain and despair, but when you appear, hope comes, and all disasters disappear."
Hearing Cassandra's words, David's eyes flashed with surprise.
It sounds like this old woman really got a glimpse of the future Clark, that is, Superman, in the future of others?
She seems to have underestimated the old man in this small town nursing home, and if she can see the future superman, maybe she is not as good as her own understanding of the future of this world.
But perhaps we can also grasp some of the sporadic context of the future world.
"Me? Terrific? β
Clark pointed at himself in confusion.
Although he knew that he was talented, he never thought that he could afford this kind of evaluation!
"You seem to have been born for this, child.
Help everyone to be freed from fear and darkness. β
Facing Clarke, who was flustered because of his doubts about the future, Kassandro pointed to it and said softly.
"Helping people predict the future so many times, I have summed up a rule, do you know what it is?"
"Ma'am, what is it?" Clarke's expression was respectful.
Seeing such a scene, she can return to normal after a short period of surprise, as if nothing in the world can make her lose her temper again.
"βThe future can be changed!"
A mysterious smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"Even, the future has changed from now on."
"It's like Pete."
David spoke slowly.
When people know their future, they will no longer let themselves or things develop in the kind of future they don't like.
"Yes, kid."
In the face of David, the old woman's tone remained kind, even though she saw him in Future Sight who might be hostile to Clark.
She has seen so many lives in the future.
Human beings are complex creatures, and it is not easy to define a person and a person's future.
Maybe an inconspicuous kid growing up on a small-town farm will become the brightest and most beloved person on the planet in the future, or maybe a respectable prosecutor with a bright future will be transformed into a fearsome gangster after a bad day.
Maybe the mercenary who is usually money-oriented, cold-blooded and cruel, will do his best to save the world, regardless of pay......
"Now, it's your turn, kid."
Kassandra gently opened her hand to David.
David hesitated, then stretched out his hand.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
A long time passed, and nothing happened.
Just when David thought that he was not as special as the Children of Tomorrow to see his future together.
"Special Brother Kent."
Kassandra, with her eyes closed, opened her white eyes and sighed.
"Child, I can't see your future."
This is also something that has not happened before.
"It seems that I can't give you any guidance in your life."
She shook her head.
"Your future is up to you to grasp and create."
Two brothers, one who can see the future she sees, and the other who she can't see the future.
"Can't see it?"
Hearing this answer, David wondered.
Thanos' physique has great resistance to psychic abilities, could it be that predicting the future is also a psychic ability?
That's why you can't see it?
Clark, who was originally nervous and worried, wanted to see if things had turned around from his brother's future, and he was a little stunned.
He gritted his teeth, and after he was firm in his heart that no matter what happened, he would never let his brother go down the wrong path.
Clark opened his eyes, his voice slightly apprehensive.
"Ma'am, can you give me another look at my future?"
Kassandra was blind but not blind, guessing what he wanted to do, and shook her head helplessly.
"Kid, I'm not a radio, I can answer at any time, I can tune the channel at will, and I can see which future you want to read."
