The Death Knell

"In July 1959, Jenny and I were colleagues. We traveled to New Jersey together. I was visiting some friends, and she was visiting her mother."

"After arriving by train, she called home, but no one answered, so we went to the amusement park near the station to pass the time while her mother came home.

"There was a photographer in the amusement park. He regarded us as a couple, and he shouted loudly to take a group photo with us for only 25 cents. I said we were not in that kind of relationship, but Jenny said she wanted to take a photo. I understood what she meant."

"We took a good photo, she had a beautiful smile, I may be shy, so I didn't know what to do."

"11 minutes and 57 seconds after the photo was taken, Jenny's watch strap broke. Before I could pick it up, a big fat man accidentally stepped on it. In order to make her not too sad, I said I can Help her fix her watch."

The colorful cosmic light shone warmly on everyone, and the death knell sitting on the pony had already taken out melon seeds and beer, and began to eat and drink with the black asphalt-like creature.

The ladies had given up on rescuing Superman, Kara was staring at the death knell with red eyes, but Diana and Harley were listening with pricked ears, listening to what Dr. Manhattan said in the past, which happened in the Watcher universe, his home planet Earth. Secret.

"So that's how it is. 11 minutes and 57 seconds came from here, tons..." Hearing a secret, Su Ming, who celebrated for it, spun a bottle of beer silently, wiped his mouth with his backhand, and took another small piece of paper that had been stripped by strangulation. Guaziren: "Understood, please continue, Doctor.

11 minutes and 57 seconds, converted to 717 seconds, don't blame Su Ming for being too sensitive to this number, because there are really 7 everywhere, and he just noticed it subconsciously.

"In 1945, when the atomic bomb was put into actual combat, my father gave up the business of repairing watches. He told me that time is no longer important, but fortunately, I can also repair watches."

"July 1959, with Jenny's breath in my ear and her broken watch on the nightstand in the hotel, we were together.

"The cause of the incident was that I left the repaired watch in the pocket of the white coat after a month, and stupidly left the clothes in the experimental cabin. When I entered the experimental cabin, I wanted to get the watch back for her to see. At that time, the door of the experimental cabin was closed."

"It was a security method unique to that era. It was like locking bank thieves and gold in a vacuum vault. The hatch couldn't be opened again in a short period of time. Jenny and my friends tried a lot. Tried to open the door from the outside, but it didn't work, after 11 minutes and 57 seconds, the powerful nuclear radiation turned me into light under the automatic operation of the computer."

"It was August of 1959, and the light nearly shattered me, but only nearly."

"Everything is over, I became the representative of quantum, a non-human life, a person who mastered the secrets of the world and the universe, so the universe pointed the finger at me, it regarded me as a virus that invaded the body, and arranged itself Antibodies appear, that is, to restart the world through human nuclear war.”

At this point, Dr. Manhattan paused for a while, because everyone has 717 seconds, and there is still one left. He doesn't need to worry, and he can go to see if the ladies understand what he said.

Su Ming didn't know how much they understood, but he raised his hand while eating sunflower seeds:

"So these 11 minutes and 57 seconds can also be regarded as the curse of the Overwatch universe on you, targeting across time and space. Whenever this time period comes, your life will undergo drastic changes."

This is a question sentence, but Su Ming sometimes imitates Batman and expresses questions in a declarative tone.

"Time, space, have lost their meaning to me since then." Dr. Manhattan did not directly answer the death knell, but continued the previous narration: "I can see more, hear more, think more, I Started to become...everywhere."

"I saw Jacqueline in the convertible holding JFK's head, her eyelashes stained with tears, November 22, 1963."

"I saw Dr. Manhattan drop a picture of Jonathan and Jenny's amusement park on Mars, and he seemed

Almost forgot everything, it was October 1985.

"I saw Superman lift a car, it was April 18, 1938, and then I realized that there was no such car in my world in 1938, I was seeing a scene from another multiverse.

"There were two solutions to the problem before my eyes, but I couldn't see through the black wall, I could only see Superman, and I saw darkness.

The death knell, who was drinking, eating melon seeds and smoking, raised his hand again. He thought he remembered a joke that fit the occasion, so he said it

"If you saw the black president Superman, wouldn't you be able to kill two birds with one stone? Haha!"

Obviously, this joke is too cold, not to mention that Manhattan, an emotionless guy, didn’t laugh, even Harley, who loves to laugh, didn’t laugh. She even bared her teeth at Su Ming to express her dissatisfaction, because she was listening to Guo Nan Fascinated by the story, UU reads www.uukanshu. com Nothing else, she just likes to hear other people's last words.

Although she also knows that the little bee keeps interjecting to break everyone's sense of immersion and prevent them from being trapped in the story, so as to feel sympathy for Dr. Manhattan...

Dr. Manhattan doesn't have any feelings, if he treats him the way he treats human beings or thinks, or has any feelings for him, then it must be the beginning of tragedy.

It's like when you see a beggar on the street and feel that the other person has no food or drink, it's too pitiful, so you take out money to help him. As a result, the ruthless beggar found that he could live a better life by robbing you, so out of a rational judgment of profit, he stabbed you to death, destroyed your body, and pretended to be your identity...

This is a typical example of being killed because of good intentions. When some people first came to Gotham, they did not prepare a travel guide and did not know the gold content of street beggars. Such things happen from time to time.

But even so, Harley still wanted to hear a story in its entirety, not a few bits and pieces of jokes.

Ignoring Deathstroke's gag, the tall blue giant continued his speech, as if dissecting his own weaknesses, or saying goodbye to the past:

"I am one of the driving forces behind the chaos. My relentless thirst for knowledge has destroyed many things that are beautiful to ordinary people. I want to see everything and dig deep until there are no more questions in front of me. Only a piece of the simplest The blank space...Death knell, do you think I should continue to exist if I am burdened with sin?」
