American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 30 Immortality is a Curse

“You don’t know what others have been through, and you will never be able to empathize with them. How others change from white to gray, and then to black, there are countless ways to wither, but we can only see the final withering.”

Peter patted Clark on the shoulder, "So, we can never empathize with others, nor can we make others empathize with us."

Clark and A-Zu both listened attentively.

After thinking for a while, Clark asked, "A hundred thousand whys," "Then what should we do?"

He is a little confused now.

"So we have to lick some pains ourselves. In addition, although we cannot empathize with others, accompanying them is also a way."

He felt that he had to convey some positive things to the two of them, otherwise what if these two guys started killing and setting fires without restraint in the future?
This is the world of American comics. Even though these two naughty kids are at the top of the food chain, there's no guarantee that an alien creature will pop out one day and beat them up.

Even among the positive energy that was instilled in him, he himself did not believe in most of it.

"I'll always be with you, Dad."

Clark thought for a long time and uttered these words.

Seeing such a good opportunity to show loyalty, A-Zu, who was standing next to him, immediately said, "Me too, Dad. I will always be with you."

"I will accompany you too."

Peter patted their hair, "Well, it's getting late, time to go to bed."

A Zu didn't leave immediately. He waited until Clark went upstairs before he said a little embarrassedly, "Dad, you haven't told me the bedtime story you promised to tell me last time!"

He was still thinking about the bedtime story from last time.

"Which one do you want to hear?"

In A-Zu's bedroom, Peter picked up a fairy tale book and said to him, "Let me tell you in advance, it can't be about zombies or horror stories."

When Zu heard that he couldn’t listen to zombies or horror stories, he felt a little dejected.

"Okay, Dad."

In fact, he was not very interested in the story, he just wanted Peter to accompany him.

He thought Peter would scold him for pushing Fatty Dahl down the slide.

When the other party's mother came to question him, he thought he would definitely get a spanking.

But in the end, not only did his father not scold him, but he made Mrs. York speechless and even praised his actions.

This made A-Zu feel affirmed and valued.

Since my father said that the best way to understand others is to accompany them, then I will accompany him.

The above thoughts flashed through Zu's mind. Holding the milk bottle in his hand, he looked at Peter, wanting to know what story his father would tell him.

Peter flipped through the book, "Okay, this is it. The Legend of the Mermaid."

"Legend has it that there is a kind of fish in the world. If you eat it, you can gain the ability of immortality."

Peter slowly read the story from the book:
"There is a village where all the elders are immortal and they serve a 15-year-old girl. One day, a young man passed by and the elders thought he was trying to find the secret of their immortality, so they killed him."

Peter told A Zu the story of "The Legend of the Mermaid".

"The Mermaid Legend", adapted by cartoonist Rumiko Takahashi, tells the story of the protagonist coming to an unknown village where only women live, and by chance, he meets Manami, a girl with her feet shackled.

After listening to this, A Zu asked curiously, "Dad, does immortality really make people so crazy?"

"Yes, we will all grow old, get sick and die, so there will be people who want to stay young forever."

Peter touched his face when he said this.

Because of the watch, his appearance remains almost unchanged.

It seems that I will have to cover up my appearance in the future, such as growing a beard or dyeing my hair white.

Otherwise, the secret of your eternal youth will definitely be discovered.

By then, who knows, someone might become like the old man in the mermaid story and secretly attack you in order to avoid death.

Although his current physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary people, and with Clark and A-Zu as his thugs, any scoundrel can be no problem to him.

But being discovered would always be a problem.

For example, recently, Martha has been asking him about the secret of skin care. He closed the book and looked out the window.

In the dark night, the moonlight shining on the crops is like a silver glow, and the whole farm is filled with a quiet atmosphere.

"Wow!"

On the Smallwell River, it seemed that something heavy had fallen into the river.

Next came the speeding police car.

Several police cars rushed here at the fastest speed with red lights flashing.

Officer Ryan, gun in hand, jumped out of the car before it came to a complete stop.

He chased towards the river with a pistol in hand.

The remaining police officers also rushed to the river with weapons in hand.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the calm river surface, Ryan gritted his teeth and cursed.

He and his men finally tracked down the serial robber near the jewelry store.

I didn't expect this guy's ability to be so abnormal. Not only can he withstand the impact of bullets, he can even lift a motorcycle on the side of the road with ease.

Several policemen who were unable to dodge were directly injured by the impact.

Fortunately, he brought heavy firepower weapons and used a "bullet storm" to deal with this guy.

The robbers, unable to withstand the heavy firepower, did not stay at the scene for long. They threw several motorcycles at the police car, set it on fire, and then fled the scene.

Ryan led the police to the scene and watched the other party jump into the river and disappear.

"Damn it! Who of you can swim?"

Ryan asked the surrounding police officers.

He was very unwilling to see the wanted criminal escape in front of him.

The policemen looked at each other and shook their heads.

Being a police officer is just a job, they won't work so hard.

Not only is the river fast-flowing, but robbers may be lying in wait in the water.

If he goes down, he might die in the line of duty if he is not careful.

"Where is the lower reaches of the river?"

Seeing that his men were silent, he asked with a frown.

His men replied, "It's Smallwell Elementary School."

At this time, the river surface near Smallwell Elementary School.
