The Death Knell

Su Ming greeted the slightly important guests himself, while the bionic people were responsible for receiving and guiding the less powerful and less familiar guests.

Although there are many guests today, the adjutant has prepared more people, so everything is in order.

"I noticed that you prepared a lot of wreaths today, but I don't think Wade is a flower lover." Bobo sat on Death Knell's shoulder, holding a small cake in his hand and eating it. The banquet has not started yet. Time, he was a little hungry.

In the dynasty where Su Ming lived, wreaths were often given to the deceased, but in the West, the usage was obviously different.

The birthplace of wreaths is said to be in Greece. In ancient Greece, wreaths were called "skiphonos". They were sacred objects that decorated statues of gods or altars, and were decorations offered to gods.

Later, the priests in the church also wore wreaths, but they were reduced in size and hung around their necks. Later, they found it inconvenient to hang them around their necks. After all, the ancient Greeks wore sheets and hung too many on their shoulders. The thing was too heavy, so I shrunk the wreath a few sizes and turned it into a wreath for my head.

For example, a wreath woven from laurel branches is called a laurel wreath, and is awarded as a prize to victorious warriors and winners on the sports field.

It is because the European wreath culture has gradually differentiated, and people gradually like to use different flowers to express different meanings. For example, red flowers are used for festive festivals, laurels are used for triumphal days, white flowers and evergreen plants such as honeysuckle are woven. Wreaths are often used to commemorate the deceased.

The usage scenario is quite complicated, and Su Ming doesn’t quite understand it.

Anyway, things like wreaths are not passed down from the ancestors of the Celestial Dynasty. It was probably in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, or earlier or later, that wreath funerals appeared as an imported custom in coastal areas. After all, it was good-looking and good-looking, and gradually formed The trend.

Su Ming still remembered that he seemed to have watched some online series about the Tang Dynasty before time travel. In one of them, someone carried a wreath during the funeral, something that should have appeared in the Celestial Dynasty more than a thousand years later. He was so shocked on the spot that he was extremely shocked. .

This is an exaggeration. In fact, after seeing the thunder hidden in the crotch and the eight-hundred-mile sniper, his lightning resistance was maxed out.

It was probably for this reason that Su Ming didn't die when he was hit by the Flash. Maybe, probably, it was possible.

"The wreaths and firecrackers are just for the sake of appearance. My TVA headquarters is located in a prime location at the beginning of time. The interior decoration is the design of French famous designers copied by the adjutant. Each of the rooms upstairs is comparable to the presidential suite of the Burj Al Arab Hotel. It is safe. The surveillance is directly connected to the home, and the guest room space can still be expanded infinitely.”

Deathstroke didn't know why he suddenly spoke Chinese with an imperial accent. He waved to the adjutant who was walking towards him and told the orangutan:

"Each guest room has a multiverse Internet, a jacuzzi and a kitchen, as well as a small garden and a study room. There is a bionic butler standing at the door, who is modeled after a handsome man and a beautiful woman. All service programs are loaded. As soon as the guest enters the door, he Say 'May I help you sir'? He has an alien-like Cockney accent, Beier has face."

"...We shouldn't have let Harley go upstairs first, right?" Bobo felt that Deathstroke's condition had worsened again. He sighed and rolled his eyes: "I was just chatting. We talked about flowers, but you ended up telling me about cross talk?"

"Huh? Do you know what cross talk is?" Su Ming touched the monkey's head in surprise, looking like he was about to be impressed after three days of separation: "I don't have a certain level of Chinese, but I can't understand that."

With a crooked smile, Bobo took a puff of cigarette, crossed his legs, and said softly:

"It was a prophecy given to me by the cockroach Ezekiel, saying that it would follow you everywhere. It would be beneficial to learn more Chinese, so I spent some time memorizing the entire modern Chinese dictionary. I have to say that you gave me that beetle. The best gift, at least much better than a female gorilla.”

"Sometimes I really don't know if he is a liar or if he is really capable." Su Ming smiled and pointed out the weaknesses of the prophet profession, because human words are the hardest thing for others to believe: "But if you like it Okay, keep it and raise it, cockroaches can’t eat much anyway.”

Keeping cockroaches as pets always gives people a particularly downtrodden feeling.

As she spoke, the adjutant had already approached. Although she relied on teleportation or levitation to move around Sepurk most of the time, it was rare for her to move down to earth today.

Wearing a newly made gorgeous gothic dress, she walked over gracefully. There was not much expression on the doll's face, but her big eyes moved around flexibly.

"Seeing it through your own eyes is completely different from 'seeing' it through all the surveillance equipment." She came to the police chief with a smile, folded her hands on her belly, and stood there calmly: "Next step What’s the plan, Sheriff?”

"Just keep an eye on the three diversified things in the subsidiary dimension and DC. It's nothing important. Let's just go upstairs and wait for the wedding to start." Su Ming changed his face again, this time becoming a certain city warrior. appearance.

.....................

There was nothing to say during the waiting time. Su Ming entered one of the venues on the top floor and wandered around the crowd with a fake face on, chatting with this one and that one, that was basically it.

Seeing that the ceremony was about to begin, he chose to sit at a table with the guests from the DC Universe, a large round table on the level of King Arthur.

Although Luther curiously asked about death, he was still fooled by Deathstroke. He could only play with a small handheld computer in boredom.

After all, not everyone knows Sarah and Sharp. They didn't notify too many people in the first place. Now there are more than 20,000 guests in the venue, which is overwhelming. Most of them are giving face to Deathstroke and coming to watch the excitement. of.

The venue is an endless expanse of grassland, and there is even a river. There are tables and chairs covered with white cloth on the lawn, and it is also dotted with various decorations tied with rainbow ribbons.

A red carpet hundreds of meters long stretches from the gate to the altar. Arches made of flowers cover the red carpet passage layer by layer. Colorful balloons float in the wind. At the end of the carpet near the altar, from a certain battlefield The tall monks transferred from the regiment were already in place.

"It feels good, Slade." Barry, who was sitting next to Deathstroke and being hooked by the neck, said: "I want to say that White Canary is so lucky to have a friend like you."

He had spent a little time visiting all the towers before, and now he was holding two chocolate frogs to replenish energy.

Deathstroke had a different face, but as soon as he put his arm around his neck, Xiao Flash knew it was the right person.

"I know what you are implying, Barry. My answer is yes." Su Ming smiled and patted Xiao Shan on the shoulder. After all, he is the closest mount to him: "When you get married, you can also come here to do it. , I paid all the expenses.”

"You're so funny, hehe." Barry scratched his head a little embarrassed, but he was relatively poor in Zhenglian. The salary at Xingchen Laboratory was only that much, and the forensic staff only got another dead salary, so they could save money. Then save.

As one of the cities with the best security on Earth 0 in the DC Universe, housing prices in Star City are not cheap.

"But have you decided who you want to marry, or have you married them all?" Su Ming put Bobo on the table with a half-smile, and looked into Barry's eyes: "How about you change your nationality to Saudi Arabia? I can make it happen. The adjutant will help you with the operation. By the way, the Iris you know doesn’t ask you to talk to her every day, does she?”

"That's not true. Why do you ask?" Xiao Shen didn't know why.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little disgusted with black girls who always want to 'talk' to others." Deathstroke rubbed Xiaofeng's head as if he was cleaning a car.
