Chapter 102: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Little Universe Chapter 47
Logically speaking, after so many years, the Calvin Cemetery should have been filled to capacity long ago.
In fact, that was indeed the case, but in 1984, the Calvin Cemetery welcomed a turning point.
It was purchased from the New York municipal authorities.
Yes.
The Calvin Cemetery became private, and precisely because of this, the newly privatized Calvin Cemetery began a cleanup; in just three months, the Calvin Cemetery announced it was reopening to the public, and this time, there was plenty of space.
Don't ask why it suddenly became empty.
In any case, after the Calvin Cemetery announced its reopening, there were no protests or objections from anyone.
Moreover, to adapt to the needs of the changing times, the Calvin Cemetery not only specifically set aside a piece of prime land with beautiful scenery and a north-facing orientation for those of Eastern descent, but it also undertook burial projects funded by the government.
By the time Hawk arrived at the Calvin Cemetery, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
After checking the documents Hawk handed over, the cemetery guard just looked curiously at the golf bag Hawk was carrying on his back, but without checking anything else, he let Hawk pass.
The Calvin Cemetery is very large, after all, it spans two districts.
Having been here many times and being very familiar with the place, Hawk walked along the cemetery path for about fifteen minutes before arriving in front of a small tombstone.
A photo was pasted on the tombstone, showing a little girl with a very sweet smile.
Her name was on it.
Hearing Hearing Anya.
1995.5.20-2009.9.10
Hawk took off the golf bag he was carrying on his back, which contained five alien weapons, and placed it casually to one side, then squatted down in front of the tombstone, and then somewhat cautiously placed the takeout bag containing various foods he was holding onto the small platform in front of the tombstone, then looked up at the photo on the tombstone, the one with the very sweet smile.
He didn't speak, just watched quietly, and then looking at the smiling face in the photo, a faint smile slowly appeared on his own face as well.
A smile of happiness that was the same as the one he would only show after seeing that photo on his nightstand the first thing in the morning when he woke up.
After a while.
Hawk took out his phone, which he had turned off because he didn't want to be disturbed today, placed it to one side, then turned his body, leaned against the tombstone behind him, and looked at the scenery before him.
If you were to pull your gaze back a bit, you would find that Hawk's figure seemed to be leaning against the photo on the tombstone, both of their gazes looking in the same direction, as if they were enjoying the scenery before them together.
If you were to pull your gaze back even further.
Midtown High School.
"Gwen, do you know where Hawk went?"
"Uh..."
Gwen, who was just about to put her backpack into her locker and go to class, was slightly stunned after receiving a call from the counselor, Mrs. Snow.
"Didn't he ask for leave from you?"
"I know, but I just received a call from New York University; they are coming to the school today."
"...Coming for Hawk?"
"Yes, but I can't reach Hawk. God, it was one thing when he didn't have a phone and I couldn't reach him, but now he has a phone, and yet his phone is turned off."
Mrs. Snow said on the phone, sounding somewhat speechless; this was even worse than not having a phone.
"I thought he might have told you, so do you know where he went?"
"Uh..."
Gwen hesitated.
She probably knew where Hawk was today, but she wasn't sure if Hawk wanted her to know that she knew.
"The people from New York University are coming today to finalize the list; it would be a real pity if Hawk doesn't come today."
"Alright."
Hearing this, Gwen thought about how Hawk was indeed preparing for New York University, and hearing that Hawk would likely miss this opportunity if he didn't come today, she no longer hesitated and nodded: "Mrs. Snow, I'll go find Hawk now, but I might need to ask for a leave of absence."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Snow breathed a sigh of relief.
"No problem."
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Snow couldn't help but shake her head, and then, seemingly thinking of something, she couldn't help but let out a laugh.
As expected.
It had to be Gwen.
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Gwen put her books back into her locker, took out her backpack, closed the locker door, went to the parking lot, got into her yellow Corolla, and started the car to leave the school.
Gwen headed straight in the direction of the Calvin Cemetery.
When she arrived at the cemetery gate, parked the car, found the administrator at the entrance, and explained her purpose.
The cemetery administrator also cooperated and opened the gate.
Gwen, who also seemed very familiar with this place, followed the path, reached a corner, and after turning the corner, Hawk, who was not far away with one leg stretched out and one knee bent, his left hand hanging over his knee, and his back leaning against the tombstone, came into her view.
Hawk, who was clearing his mind, heard the footsteps gradually approaching from afar, focused his gaze, and turned his head to look at Gwen, who was walking over cautiously from not far away.
Gwen looked at Hawk, who revealed a faint smile after discovering her, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, then walked over.
She didn't immediately state her purpose for coming here to find Hawk, but instead let her gaze fall on the tombstone, on the girl who was identical to the one in the photo she had discovered on Hawk's nightstand, then glanced at Hawk, who was leaning to the side, and said in a soft voice: "Can you introduce her to me?"
Hawk smiled slightly, looked sideways at the photo on the tombstone, his eyes gentle.
"Hearing Hearing Anya."
"My..."
"Little sister!"
"..."
