[Comprehensive Yingmi] It’s all the face that hurt me

On the top of the Planet Daily Building is a huge globe, which is the landmark building of the entire metropolis.

Chris landed on it, then he put Attar down, and they sat side by side.

Atal's teeth chattered, and he had to admit that Chris was right.

At this altitude, although it is very close to the sky, it is very cold, as if the cold air from the whole city has floated up, bringing a biting cold, which made him wrap his coat tightly and bury his face in it to breathe , Throats are stuffed with cold air.

Atal took a peek at Chris, who didn't show any coldness at all, and moved closer to him.

Chris glanced at him and said nothing.

Atar breathed a sigh of relief, it would be embarrassing if Chris moved away at this moment.

But indeed, leaning against Chris, the tumultuous wind seems to have stopped, and the chill in the air has become lighter.

In the middle of the night, the metropolis still lights up like fireflies, but it’s not as bright as daytime. The lights of thousands of households are like phosphorous fire floating in the forest, or wandering lonely souls——

This is a city that looks promising during the day, but surprisingly cold at night.

Then, a mobile phone was handed to Attar.

He took it for no apparent reason, and realized that it was his cell phone, which Chris had carried for him when he left the living room.

"Text first," he said, "don't worry them."

Atal nodded, holding the mobile phone with both hands, and began typing on the keyboard with his fingers, but he was entangled in deleting, modifying and modifying, and did not send a single one for several minutes.He sighed, not knowing how to explain it, to Connor or to anyone else.

When he fell from the roof, he did think of a mature plan.

First, he will find Superman, and then Superman will take him out of Star City, so that the so-called evil god has no reason to come to Star City, and it will not be difficult for Connor to solve the remaining problems, they will be safe .

But Atar can't stay in the Metropolis for too long, he is not so selfish, because his stay will bring trouble to the Metropolis, so this is a delay.

What Atal is waiting for is someone else——

Constantine.

He is a node in the plan.

Whether Constantine himself realized it or not, he must have had something to do with Atal's awakening.This relationship dates back to his time as an unconscious husk, as he inexplicably woke up after he explored his spirit world.

If his description is correct, then Constantine must have touched one of his locks to cause this situation.

Atal himself had a vague premonition that he didn't wake up as an empty shell, which was actually to protect the world, but he must have obtained some news from Constantine to cause the current situation. situation -

But what is it?He had forgotten all about it.

He really wanted to bring out his past self, whether it was a beating or a scolding, as long as it could alleviate this anger, he was absolutely indifferent to this situation.

... You are so irresponsible, do you think that you can escape from reality?It's too naive.

Such an approach would only benefit those enemies, and it would be sheer cowardice to make things more difficult for oneself.

I really look down on you, Attar thought while holding the phone, no wonder Chris didn't like you before, because you were a piece of trash.

And Connor still trusts you that much, and so does Roy, not to mention Oliver, but you left the mess like this...

You are really, really hopeless.

These words gushed out from the bottom of my heart, but with a hint of grievance for whom I didn't know.

Atar said such words from the bottom of his heart, and then fell silent, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

It slowly spirals up from the bottom of my heart. Although the sense of existence is not strong, it is like a gurgling stream flowing through the dry land, which is completely impossible to ignore...

It almost made Atar feel a burst of sarcasm, and he himself didn't know where he stood to say such a thing.

Bystander?he himself?

However, a sense of emptiness as if falling from a high altitude filled his chest, and in the cold night wind of the metropolis, the sadness born out of thin air penetrated him.

Because he suddenly realized that these words were all for himself, and he was the coward and waste that he said.

but……

No, I don't.

A voice seemed to speak softly to him, as if contradicting his words.

But this is just an illusion, the past him died in this body with his memory.

That's why Atal can sit here now, leaning against Chris, absorbing the thin warmth from the Kryptonian.

His body began to tremble involuntarily.

Because it was the voice of a dead ghost, he was constantly reminded of what might happen to him again, and that inescapable sadness once again filled his heart.

He is confused about what happened to himself in the past, and at the same time, he is also uneasy about his future.

But Chris stretched out his hand suddenly, and he tightly held Atar's hand that was unknowingly hanging by his side, and said, "It's fine if you don't want to send text messages."

Don't even think about it, Constantine will give him the answer.

The latter came back to his senses, he smiled at Chris, took a deep breath and opened Bruce's missed call, and there was a line of notes below——

The day after tomorrow, are you still coming?

This relieved Attar, he didn't want them to continue to ask this topic, but Bruce didn't, so he could answer this question.

He looked at Chris and asked for his approval with his eyes. Chris nodded at him: "Yes, it's okay, I can go with you."

Chris is Damian's partner, so he can totally go with Attar, it's not a problem.

During the two days when Superman stayed in Star City, Chris was Atal's temporary guardian, so his nod meant the plan was approved.

After getting Chris's answer, Atal thought about his words, replied the text message, and told Bruce that everything was business as usual.

I'm here with Superman.he wrote.But, no problem.

He was about to turn off the phone, but the next moment, the phone screen lit up, and Bruce actually replied to his text message at this point.

Atar felt a burst of surprise, isn't he still asleep...

He clicked on the text message, and the other party replied "Yes" and noted Dick.

So, it was still Dick who came to pick him up...

Atal thought for a while, and replied, "Go to bed early, good night." Bruce didn't reply this time, and I don't know if he listened to his words.

As for other people's text messages... Atal has not yet decided how to reply, because Connor's words are bound to explain his thoughts, but Atar is not ready to open his heart for the time being, at least not yet. .

The bottom of his heart is like a breeding ground for parasites, and those dark thoughts are constantly trying to occupy his atrium, so Atar doesn't intend to tell Connor his guesses, he is afraid that the other party will think about it because of his hidden attitude. Because of his face, he was disgusted with him, even repulsed.

Atal hated such irresponsible behavior of his previous self.

He threw all the mess to him, and then walked away by himself, why are there such people in the world?Won't he fight for something?

If he can't even do this, then what is the meaning of his existence?

"...Since you don't have anything to say to them," Chris's voice came, intermittently like a flickering candlelight in the cold wind, "then, let me tell you the news I got."

Atal nodded, then Chris turned his head to look at him, those dark blue eyes were extraordinarily clear under the starry sky, like a calm sea, he even vaguely saw himself in his eyes, This made him stand still, quietly listening to Chris' narration.

That was half a year ago.

The night at Quinn Manor was actually not the first time Chris met Attar, it was half a year ago, and this was the opportunity that pushed Chris to come to Attar now.

At that time, Chris was sitting alone on the globe of the Planetary Daily on such a cold night in a daze.

It's his secret base, his sanctuary, where he immediately relaxes and just does "Chris."

His relationship with Superman is not as close as half a year later, he maintains his "flawless" image, partly he can do it, partly...

He didn't want Superman to think he was hopeless and give him up.

Since Zod's blood flows in his body, Chris must do better and work harder than others to be eligible to stand beside Superman.

At this time, Atal called out his name in the distant Star City.At first, Chris thought it was just a coincidence, but the Green Arrow's little assistant, Arrow, even said his last name, and even called him by his original name once, "Loel Zod ", which made it impossible for Chris to ignore the voice.

So he came to Quinn Manor and had a conversation with Atal at the time, which made Chris curious about him and agreed to his request.

In the past six months, he has quietly observed Atar, trying to see when it would be the signal for the action he said.

It wasn't until he and the Green Arrow were trapped in Gotham that Chris finally realized that it was his time to play, and he had to fulfill the promise he made half a year ago.

So he snatched the things from the Assassin's League, and came with the blood-suppressing reagent as promised.

"What request?" Atar asked, he felt a trembling inexplicably, as if some secret was about to be revealed.

"……what did I do?"

"Do you know about memory capsules?" Chris smiled softly, which was a rare smile, especially for a teenager like Chris who sometimes seemed a little cold.

"But obviously, you can't bury something in the ground, so I'm the one storing your memories for you."

"What...?" Atal was stunned.

Why would Chris agree to do this kind of thing?

It doesn't make sense, he and Atar are not familiar at all, so they can't do this to this extent.

In fact, the reason why Chris agreed is very simple, because this is the most thorough time he has been trusted as a "guilty Zod", and he was touched by this unreserved emotion.

Atal handed his secrets to Chris, and he firmly believed that Chris would do it. This kind of trust was so special and strange, even strange.

Just as Chris couldn't figure out why Atal would still be so close to him after amnesia, so all he could do was agree, and then curiously pry into the details, trying to dig out the truth.

They were obviously not familiar with each other, and it was even the first time they met, but Atar still gave him the memory.

...It's amazing, Chris thought, but why?

He stretched out his hand and touched Atar's hair tentatively. The latter didn't avoid it, but still looked at him with those confused eyes, which made his heart soften.

"So, do you like me?" Chris asked suddenly, he stared at Atal, and said a little distressed, "Is that so?"

He was actually considering whether to accept it.

... W-what?

Atar was choked by his words, he quickly waved his hands: "——No!"

Absolutely not! ! !

"Oh..." Chris nodded slowly, thought for a while and said, "It really is, then, I guessed wrong."

Alta breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, his heart lifted, because Chris still had that unconvinced expression.

"However, I still don't quite understand why." Chris threw a straight ball again. Obviously, this question has puzzled him for some time, "Why do you trust me?"

Atar: "..." I don't know either.

But at this moment, Chris obviously wants to get an explanation, even if it is nonsense, Atal has to give an answer.

"...Maybe, it's, it's because," Atar said with difficulty, organizing his words, "...Because you look good."

After speaking, there was a silence between them.

Atar buried his face in his hands, not daring to look at Chris's expression, feeling like he was about to explode in embarrassment, like a small steam train, with red cheeks and white smoke coming out of his head.

Then, he heard a chuckle from beside him, and Atal raised his head, and saw Chris put his hand on his cheek, looking sideways at him, with a smile that hadn't passed away on his lips, which made him slightly stunned .

"Okay, let's pass the test." Chris said softly, stretching out his hand and patted the top of his head, "... Now, let's talk about some serious topics, for example, what exactly do you want me to tell you? .”

……

……

What Chris told him was roughly the same as what Atal had guessed.

...But, he got something wrong.

The League of Assassins put a lock on him, as long as he heard the order, he would fall into a situation of being dominated by others. At that time, the League of Assassins wanted him to play any role among the heretics, and he could easily do it.

He might even hurt the Green Arrows and bring disaster to the whole world, so Atal made a deliberate decision.

He got the information of James Barnes, a soldier who had experienced the same experience as him and was forced to brainwash. This former friend of Captain America was used by Hydra as a humanoid weapon.

James' information is like the parameters of a cold weapon. It is impersonal and detailed, which facilitates Atar's plan in a sense.

He learned from the sources that Hydra hid the instructions on James Barnes' part.

The meaning of this sentence is obvious. As a qualified experimental subject, James has split into two personalities through various tortures and brainwashing. One is Admiral Barnes, who used to be an American soldier in World War II, and the other is Nine Snake's weapon.

Occasionally, the weapon leaks out its soft interior, which is the part nicknamed "Bucky" by Captain America, and the weapon's personality clings to it like a dodder.

The brainwashing instruction is like a card, with two personalities written on the front and back of the card, as long as the syllable is spoken, the card will be turned over.

You cannot get rid of the instructions, because the instructions have become a part of the personality, and no personality can get rid of it.

Therefore, the easiest way is to tear off this card, shred it together with all the personalities, and then throw it into the trash can. This is the most straightforward and clean way.

In this case, no matter what method Hydra uses, it is impossible for him to be controlled. This is the best way Atal can think of.

But the tearing of the personality needs a suitable time, so that the Assassin Alliance thinks that the lock is still there, which is the best solution, so that they will lose a defense, which is conducive to subsequent actions.

So Atal chose to do it when Talia asked him to be hunted down with Arrow and they were injured...

Only at this point in time, Talia would not think so much, because she would temporarily keep Atal out of her sight, lest the Green Arrow catch a loophole, and Atal could make things perfect.

...So, this is the truth about his amnesia.

Perhaps for others, shredding memories doesn't matter much, but for Atar, he chose to die quietly once in order to protect his precious things.

He is not a coward, a coward, or a waste. It is because of his bravery that he made this decision.

"I'm not done yet," Chris said.
