Chapter 490

"The Comedian probably doesn't know either..." Su Quan held Laura's hand back, thought for a moment, and explained: "He isn't as righteous as you think. In that organization, many people could be considered heroes, including your mother, but he is definitely not one of them!"

"So, there would be such a result. I can only say... your mother was not a willing participant!"

Not a willing participant, that means...

Laura's face turned livid, and she cursed angrily: "That bastard!"

The next day, early morning.

A torrential rain fell, with raindrops pouring down on the earth like a basin, falling recklessly on the roof, hitting the windows, and landing on pedestrians' umbrellas, making different sounds, like the cooperation of various musical instruments, novel and wonderful.

It made one yearn, made one intoxicated...

Laura propped herself up on her arms, leaning half-sideways, looking at the man beside her who had just woken up.

Su Quan stretched his waist, pillowing his head with his hands, and said to Laura, who was smiling and posing: "Morning."

"Morning."

Laura smiled sweetly and asked with a grin: "Do you remember what you promised me last night?"

When I was 'comforting' you last night, I promised quite a few things, such as priorities...

Which one are you asking about?

"You promised me that you would bring my mother... the mother from before I existed, out!" Before Su Quan could answer, Laura said it herself.

"That matter..." Su Quan had some impression; Laura had indeed said it, and he had indeed promised.

It's just...

"You still don't have a clear understanding of me. Are you sure you want me to bring your mother over? The her from before you existed?"

"I'm sure!"

Laura said affirmatively: "Looking back now, Mother actually didn't live happily. Every time The Com... The Comedian came, Mother was always forcing a smile. Every time he appeared, every piece of news, would force Mother to remember that incident, making her live in pain forever."

"Although this has become an unchangeable past, the world resets, the past is the future, and everything will repeat itself. I cannot watch her experience that pain again, repeating a miserable life forever!"

Su Quan said noncommittally: "Your world is different from others. Dr. Manhattan is determined to save your world, and in the near future, it will definitely reset again! It's easy for me to bring your mother out, but like you, she will never be able to go back."

"The outside world is more wonderful than her original life. She is my mother; I know her, and I know how she will choose."

"Besides..."

"From childhood to adulthood, my life was arranged by her. She was good to me, and why shouldn't I be to her? Can't I accept the same thing just because the identity has changed?"

How many parents control and arrange their children's lives in the name of love?

Su Quan didn't know how to evaluate Laura's point of view, nor was he prepared to evaluate it.

Do not judge others' suffering if you haven't experienced it; if you have, you might not be as kind as them.

For him, he only needed to know that Laura was now his own person, and that was enough.

"Whoosh—"

The decisive Su Quan sensed the Watchmen universe, found Laura's mother, directly manipulated the spatial dimension, and established an interdimensional portal between the two worlds.

At this moment, on the other side of the door was a room with a sense of the era, looking like a bedroom. Sally Jupiter, wearing her uniform, stood in front of the vanity, looking at this side with an expression of disbelief.

"Mo... Mother!" Looking at the familiar face, Laura's longing could not be suppressed and erupted.

First, another room appeared in her own room, along with a man and a woman who looked like they had just woken up, and then that woman who looked to be about her own age actually called her mother?

Sally Jupiter on the other side was completely stunned!

"This... what is going on? Who are you people, and you... why do you call me mother?" Sally Jupiter asked in confusion.

Laura looked at Su Quan pointedly. Seeing him nod in agreement, she got up, put on her clothes, and walked over.

Sally Jupiter retreated a few steps in defense, feeling extremely vigilant, but soon she was shocked by what Laura said.

She... she is actually my daughter? In the future... so many things happened in the future?

And...

Someone can actually travel through time and space, someone can reset the universe? This is too incredible, too unbelievable!

"That bastard The Comedian actually did this to me? I... I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Sally Jupiter heard that her daughter's father was actually The Comedian, whom she currently admired, and that... that her daughter was conceived in that way. She suddenly felt like her idol had collapsed, followed by boundless anger!

"This world will reset again, and everything will repeat itself. Are you willing to jump out with me, follow the Master, and start a brand new life?"

Laura walked into the portal, turned around, and looked at her young mother.

Sally Jupiter hesitated for only a few seconds before walking over regardless...

No one likes their fate to be predetermined, to be infinitely repeating, infinitely cycling!

Moreover, the fact that she could transition from a waitress and actress to a superhero proves that she has a strong adventurous spirit. Now that she has encountered such a miracle, she is naturally brave enough to take risks and face the unknown!

"Whoosh—"

When Sally Jupiter stepped over, the portal behind her disappeared abruptly.

Facing her future daughter, the mysterious Lord of the Void, and everything unknown, she was both anxious and expectant.

"This outfit of yours..." Su Quan, who had finished washing and dressing, looked at Sally Jupiter's attire and spoke, hesitating to continue.

Sally Jupiter asked nervously: "Is, is there a problem? This is my uniform. I am a member of the Minutemen organization. The Minutemen is a hero group..."

"Mother, the Master knows all of this," Laura reminded her.

Sally Jupiter nodded and did not continue to introduce it in depth.

"Every hero should have a distinctive and eye-catching uniform that represents them; that's no problem! It's just that your uniform, besides looking good, can be said to be useless!"

"Yours is the same!"

Su Quan had brought Laura along too.

"Do your uniforms have defensive capabilities? Can they stop bullets? Can they withstand attacks?"

"No!"

"Besides aesthetics, they only serve to attract the enemy's attention!"

Sally Jupiter admitted that what he said was correct, but she was unconvinced: "Even the latest bulletproof vests currently developed have unsatisfactory results, and they are not suitable for being made into uniforms to fight enemies."

This is the limitation of the era. The era Sally Jupiter lived in was after World War II; the level of technology, social atmosphere, and mindset were very different from now!

Su Quan waved his hand, and a string of brand-new Void Battle Beads appeared out of thin air and landed in his palm.

By the way, this was a small ability, or rather a small trick, that he had developed a while ago at the nursing home based on his ability to manipulate spatial dimensions.

The principle won't be repeated; simply put, it's a portable space!

He had already packed the things he often used around him and in other worlds into it, and the Void Battle Beads were one of them!
