After more than ten minutes, the black SUV started up again.
Barry's story was somewhat magical. According to him, when he was 11 years old, he was woken up by a strange noise in the house. He walked down the stairs and saw his mother lying on the carpet. She panicked and asked him not to come over. Beside her was his helpless father.
Two rays of light, one red and one yellow, were circling around the room quickly. They were like fairies in fairy tales. The two rays of light seemed to be fighting. After a few minutes, they broke through the window. Then, Barry saw a fruit knife in his mother's chest. His father's face was filled with despair. The worst thing was, his fingerprints were on the fruit knife.
An 11-year-old's words could not be used as evidence. So, in the end, his father was charged with intentional homicide. Because he was a famous doctor in Central City, and because there was insufficient evidence, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
He was adopted by his father's good friend, Sheriff Joe West. After he grew up, he was determined to be an outstanding forensic technician. He also followed all kinds of urban legends like a madman. Coupled with his magical talent, that was why he could guess Saber's identity so quickly.
He was like a helpless bystander, trying to find evidence to prove his father's innocence in the urban legends. But until now, he had found nothing.
Until today, he finally saw the protagonist of urban legends for the first time. After the panic, Barry became very active. Even his nerdy attitude was gone. He switched seats with his father and pestered Saber who was driving. He kept asking him some strange questions.
He thought that Saber must know more about the truth of the world.
Saber did not answer most of the questions. Until they were close to Sheriff Lance's house, Saber finally revealed some of the real secrets.
"A few days ago, when I was facing Ducard, the leader of the League of Shadow Warriors, Barry, I saw something that was really unscientific."
Saber steadied the car and said to Barry, who was full of desire.
"Can you imagine a person who was almost blown to pieces in a big explosion, but with a small bottle of strange liquid, his body was completely restored in a few seconds?"
"How is this possible?!"
Barry exclaimed, "The energy produced by the explosion will destroy a part of the body. It's impossible to fully recover! This is against the laws of physics! "
Saber blinked at him.
"But it happened, right in front of me... Look, Barry, this is the problem that troubles you. You are pursuing the truth that you want, but you have to use your knowledge to explain it. However, son, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science. If you really want to use your own strength to save your father, then listen to my advice. At least, don't use your own thinking to consider these urban legends."
He pulled out the car key and patted Barry on the shoulder.
"Little Barry, the things you saw weren't illusions. I can tell you seriously that those things really exist. Although I haven't seen them before, as long as you're lucky enough, you can find them! Don't give up! "
"Yes!"
Barry clenched his fist and nodded fiercely, "Thank you, Mr. Saber!"
When Saber opened the door and got off the car, there was a silent smile at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know whether what Barry said was true or not, but at least he knew that this confused young man needed some affirmation. Otherwise, that heavy pressure would eventually crush him.
In fact, most of the time, what we asked others for was not the real answer, but the kind of answer that we wanted. Saber felt that there was a saying that was very reasonable. When you couldn't meet other people's expectations, no matter how much you did, it would be a failure. This was an important point in interpersonal communication, and Saber was very familiar with it.
This point could be seen from Barry's obviously high-spirited state of mind. This young man was very satisfied, and that was enough.
"Ah, doing good things always makes people happy!"
Saber proudly took out the gift that his dad bought for Sheriff Lance from the trunk. He pulled Catherine and followed his dad's footsteps. Barry supported Robin who was walking with a crutch and walked at the back. Sheriff Lance's house was very big. It was a two-story structure unique to Star City. There was even a small garden in front of it. It could be seen that Mr. Sheriff was a person who paid attention to the quality of life.
However, when everyone approached the door, they heard the sound of quarreling coming from the room. Even though they were separated by a wooden door, they could hear a man's angry roar and a girl's sharp voice. There seemed to be some crying sounds mixed in.
His dad was a little confused as he turned around and looked at Saber who was also confused. Didn't they say that they were going to eat? Why was there a quarrel inside?
"Deng Deng Deng"
His dad reached out and knocked on the door three times. Then, an angry middle-aged man opened the door. The moment he saw his dad and the others, his face changed from anger to embarrassment. He patted his head.
"Christian! Ah, God, I forgot that we were going to have dinner together tonight. Come in, come in! "
This was a very handsome middle-aged sheriff. He had short brown hair, a thin face, and deep set eyes. He had a very righteous face and gave off a feeling that he was not easy to get along with. His stubble did not ruin the temperament of his face. Instead, it pushed his temperament to another level. To be honest, if Saber met Quentin Lance on the street, his first reaction would definitely be to turn around and leave.
This kind of guy was the most difficult to deal with.
However, thanks to his dad's super strong relationship, Sheriff Lance's attitude was very good. However, when everyone walked into the living room, they saw a very awkward scene.
Lance's daughters, two very similar looking girls, stood face to face behind the sofa, looking at each other as if they were enemies. There were also pieces of vase on the floor, making a mess of the carpet.
Saber looked at the sisters with interest. They were very beautiful and could be called beauties. The taller one should be the elder sister. She had chestnut-colored hair and looked like she had just cried. The shorter one was the younger sister. She had long blonde hair and cute baby fat on her chin.
He did not know what happened that made the two sisters look like enemies. However, based on Saber's experience, it could be nothing more than feelings or love … It should be the latter.
"Dana! Sarah! We have guests. Can you put aside the troublesome conflicts between you two for a while? My daughters! "
Sheriff Lance looked at his daughters with a headache. He did not participate in the quarrel. The roar that everyone heard outside the door was him trying to stop the conflict between his daughters, but it did not seem to be effective.
His dad was not embarrassed. When he entered the house, the two girls turned around at the same time and greeted him.
"Hello, Uncle Christian."
"Uncle Christian, why are you all here?"
Obviously, they had a good relationship with their dad. Saber sat on the chair next to them and started to watch the show. He had a feeling that there would be a good show tonight.
The two girls did not greet the others, but walked into the kitchen one after the other. Obviously, they were polite and knew what was most important now. Sheriff Lance asked everyone to sit down. After knowing that his father was going to leave, the sheriff was a little reluctant. He walked quickly to the bedroom, and when he came out, he had already taken out a bottle of precious whiskey.
How could a friendship between men be short of alcohol?
"Come, Quentin, let me introduce you!"
Their dad drank a glass of whiskey and said excitedly to the sheriff, "This is Saber, my buddy, my good friend. He is completely different from Robin. I even suspect that I was crazy when I took him in."
Their dad's introduction was terrible. Saber was a little embarrassed, but he still greeted the sheriff with a straight face. The latter looked at Saber strangely. In Lance's perception, the yellow-skinned young man in front of him had the same temperament as those dangerous people. However, he could not interfere too much with their dad's way of making friends. He raised his glass to Saber as a gesture of goodwill.
"This is Robin's good friend, Barry Allen. He has been interning at your police station recently. He admires you very much, so I brought him here today. You're still so bad-tempered, Lance. You'll scare the people around you."
Their dad then introduced Barry. The latter could not drink, but he still raised his glass and clinked it with the sheriff. When they were not on official business, Lance was indeed a very cheerful middle-aged man, just like their dad said. The two of them soon chatted happily. From time to time, there were sounds of quarreling in the kitchen, but soon, the aroma of food wafted out. Apparently, both of the sheriff's daughters were good at cooking.
However, Seiber was bored by the conversation. He put down his wine glass, and his anticipation for a good show was gone. He picked up an apple and a fruit knife and began peeling it. While the adults were talking, the little girl, Catherine, sneaked to Seiber's side and whispered to him, "Don't worry about it.
"Saber, Saber, you're going to New York, right?"
Saber put down the fruit knife in his hand, reached out and patted the little girl's smooth hair, and put the peeled apple in her hand.
"Yes, I'm going to New York to meet some famous people."
"I want to go too! Can you take me with you? "
Catherine took a bite of the apple in her hand. She was a ten-year-old girl, and she spoke with a childish voice. Saber felt that it was very funny, but he did not immediately agree. Taking a child like Catherine on a trip was the most troublesome thing, and their dad would not agree. He was the nominal guardian of Catherine. Without his permission, the little girl could not go anywhere.
"Why are you going to New York? You're going back to Gotham with dad. You should go back to school after the New Year. "
The little girl pouted and pretended to be pitiful, but she knew that it was useless on Saber. After Saber saved her from Fatty Jon, the little girl and Saber had a special relationship. She thought about it and decided to tell Saber the reason.
"I want to go to New York to find my parents …"
Catherine lowered her head and put the apple aside. She crossed her fingers and twirled her thumbs, as if she was afraid to see Saber's eyes.
"I remember that before we went to Gotham, we lived in Brooklyn, New York. I want to find them …"
Saber's fingers stopped moving on the table. He looked at Catherine, who was standing in front of him. He felt a little suffocated in his chest, but he still used his strong emotional control to calm himself down. He asked in a very serious tone.
"Catherine, what will happen after you find them? Have you decided to give up on dad? "
"No! I won't give up on you and dad! And Robin! "
Catherine raised her head and hugged Saber's hand. She whispered, "I just want to ask them why they didn't look for me when I went missing … Am I really that annoying?"
This answer made Saber happy immediately. He was such a simple person. He smiled and patted Catherine's head.
"I can take you there, but you have to get dad's permission first. Otherwise …"
"Sarah! Sarah! Come out! "
A voice from outside the house interrupted Saber and Catherine's conversation. It also interrupted the others' conversation. There was a clanking sound from the kitchen. Sarah Lance rushed out of the kitchen. It seemed like she wanted to rush out of the house, but she was scolded by Sheriff Lance.
"Don't go out!"
Sarah stopped in her tracks. Sheriff Lance was like an enraged beast. He stood up and walked around in circles. Finally, he picked up an empty bottle and walked out of the house.
"That bastard is here again! I swear! I'm going to kill him! "
"Hey! Hey, buddy, what's going on? Who is that? "
Saber stopped the irritable Sheriff Lance under his father's signal. Sarah, who was scared out of her wits, hugged her father's waist from the other side. After a few minutes, Sheriff Lance calmed down. He glared at his younger daughter and told her the terrible story of his family.
