Boom!
The baseball ripped apart a white wave visible to the naked eye in the air, and hit Black Noir with a dull sonic boom.
The black-clad killer's feet seemed to be rooted in Lawn, and his hands wearing tactical gloves were firmly clasped in front of his chest.
The huge kinetic energy pushed him to slide back half a meter on the grass, plowing two deep mud marks, but he still caught the ball.
"It's my turn!"
Before Black Noir could throw the ball back, Reggie beside him, who couldn't hold himself back for a long time, shouted.
His entire body instantly turned into a dazzling blue afterimage, leaving only a series of static electricity in the air.
Black Noir As soon as he threw the baseball in his hand, the blue whirlwind flew directly into the tunnel.
Reggie twisted his body incredibly in mid-air, scooped up the baseball with terrifying speed, and then ran in a huge circle on the edge of Backyard.
"Reggie, you are cheating!"
John was suspended in mid-air. Although he shouted cheating, Azure's eyes were full of excited smiles.
He suddenly accelerated in the air and dived towards the blue afterimage like a fighter jet.
"Come and catch me, John! I'm the fastest in the world now!"
Reggie laughed triumphantly, and even had the time to turn around and make a face.
Just when John was about to grab Reggie's collar, the baseball caught in Reggie's hand suddenly broke out of his palm uncontrollably, as if it was pulled high into the sky by an invisible rope.
"Idiot who only knows how to use brute force."
Tommy was leaning against the pillar, his hands still coolly inserted into the pockets of his red baseball uniform.
He chewed bubble gum in his mouth, blew out a big pink bubble, and looked up into the air.
As his eyes moved, the baseball drew a strange fold line in the air that completely went against the common sense of physics, directly bypassing John and flying in the direction of Annie.
"Wow!"
Annie giggled. Although she did not have Super Speed or Telekinesis, the little girl clapped her hands in front of her chest, and a soft but extremely dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the entire Backyard like daylight.
The sudden strong light flashed the eyes of Reggie, who was moving at high speed, and he stumbled. He fell directly on Lawn and slid out for several meters along with the inertia.
Tommy's sight was also obstructed. As soon as Telekinesis let go, the baseball fell straight down.
Black Noir, who had been standing quietly in place, moved.
He is like a cheetah dormant in the dark. Even under strong light, his combat intuition is still frighteningly sharp.
He sprinted silently, leaped high, and prepared to intercept the ball in mid-air.
But John obviously doesn't want to give up this opportunity to shine to others.
The blond boy let out a sonic boom in the air and stretched out his hand before Black Noir could.
In order to ensure that he could win this game, he even burned the ball with Heat Vision, trying to add some heat to the ball.
Finally, after experiencing super strength, Telekinesis pulling and high temperature, this ordinary baseball completely reached the limit of its physical structure.
There was a dull thud.
The baseball exploded directly between the palms of John and Black Noir, turning into a mass of debris that exuded a burnt smell.
The white leather and inner wool were like snowflakes, falling on the devastated Lawn.
Everyone stopped at this moment.
The entire Backyard was quiet for two seconds, and then burst into unbridled laughter.
Reggie was lying on the grass holding his stomach and rolling without any image. Tommy even laughed so much that the bubble gum fell out of his mouth. Annie even bent over with laughter.
Even John, who had been trying to maintain the dignity of his elder brother, fell from the air. Looking at the small piece of blackened leather residue in his hand, he couldn't help laughing.
In this absolute realm where there are only family members, they are not company assets, nor are they Superheroes who will save the world in the future.
They are just a bunch of ordinary kids who will cheat, cheat, and get covered in mud just to get a ball.
Kevin, who had been sitting on the steps in the corner, carefully took away his hands holding the special kettle at this time.
"It's okay Charlie, those crazy people outside broke the ball, we are safe."
Kevin muttered to Goldfish in the kettle, with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Okay, armistice."
Lynn stood on the wooden terrace holding a cup of Black Tea. He looked at the sweaty little monsters and clapped his hands with a smile. "If we keep playing, I will have to go to the hardware store to order some big solid iron balls for you tomorrow. Let's all wash our hands and faces and prepare for dinner."
This sentence is like pressing some kind of pause button.
Lynn With a thought, the trace of power in Bracelet was removed.
The layer of transparent ripples surrounding the entire Manor instantly dissipated in the air.
The sound of traffic on the highway in the distance and the rustling of leaves in the wind flooded into everyone's ears again.
The feeling of suddenly returning from absolute silence to the noisy reality made several children couldn't help but rub their ears, but the joy that radiated from the inside out on everyone's face could not be concealed at all costs.
"Lynn, I'm hungry! I feel like there's a black hole in my stomach right now, I could swallow a whole cow!"
Reggie jumped up from the grass and wailed loudly.
"No whole cow, just a double beef cheeseburger and thick cut fries, that's enough."
Lynn turned around and walked back into the house, "Go and wash yourself off. If anyone brings mud to the table, we will only have vegetable salad to eat tonight."
Soon there were sounds of fighting over faucets and soap in the bathroom.
Lynn walked into the kitchen and took out the semi-finished products that had been prepared long ago.
The oven exudes the aroma of wheat bread baked, and there are several burgers larger than an adult's face piled on the counter.
The thick, sizzling beef patties, melted cheddar cheese, crisp lettuce leaves and juicy tomato slices are stacked on top of each other in a rough and realistic way by Lynn.
For this group of children whose metabolism is much higher than that of ordinary people, this high-calorie carbohydrate and red meat bomb is always the perfect choice to replenish their physical strength.
When the children ran to the dining table covered with water vapor, their eyes all lit up.
Reggie didn't even bother to pull out the chair, grabbed a burger and stuffed it into his mouth, eating salad dressing all over his face.
Although Tommy still maintains the coolness of putting his hands in his pockets, he uses Telekinesis to scoop French fries onto his plate no slower than others.
John sat next to Lynn, biting into a burger, his cheeks bulging like a hamster.
He ran the fastest today, laughed the loudest, and now his food tastes particularly delicious.
Black Noir still didn't serve the table today, but he was carrying the huge tray full of food. He didn't huddle in the darkest corner as usual, but sat on a single sofa less than two meters away from the dining table.
This is already a huge step for a killer who is used to hiding in the dark.
"Eat slowly, there's still more in the pot."
Lynn was holding a glass of ice water, watching Reggie almost choke on the fries, and shook his head helplessly.
He did not prepare dinner for himself, but sat quietly at the main table.
Seeing that these children, who were usually closely monitored as dangerous assets at the Vought International headquarters, were now like a few Pigwidgeons scrambling for food, leaving sauce all over the table, Lynn's eyes flashed with a hint of gentleness.
No matter how many disgusting plutocratic conspiracies there are out there, no matter how many shady and bloody schemes there are, they have nothing to do with this restaurant filled with the aroma of food.
As long as he is around, these children don't need to face those dirty things.
Manor seemed particularly quiet after dinner.
The children who have consumed a lot of energy are no longer even interested in watching cartoons.
Annie was hugging her little bear on the sofa and yawning. Reggie was rubbing her round belly and could hardly open her eyes.
"Go take a shower and then go back to the room to sleep." Lynn issued an eviction order.
After a period of chaos, the living room finally became completely quiet.
The night is getting darker, and Long Island's early summer night reveals a rare coolness.
Lynn turned off the big light in the living room, leaving only a warm yellow floor lamp, and then slowly cleaned up the mess on the dining table with a rag.
There was a sound of very light footsteps at the top of the stairs.
John was wearing the pajamas with cartoon bear patterns on them, standing barefoot on the wooden floor.
He was holding a children's toothbrush in his hand, with a little white toothpaste on his mouth.
"Why don't you go to sleep?" Lynn stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at him.
The boy pulled on his slippers and walked up to Lynn. Azure's eyes looked very clear under the warm yellow light.
"Lynn, I just want to confirm."
John raised his head and said in a very soft voice, "Tomorrow, can we go to Backyard to play that game? The kind where everyone is together and you don't have to control your strength."
He was really happy today.
The feeling of being able to run and laugh unscrupulously with your companions is ten thousand times better than the worship of ordinary people outside.
"Of course."
Lynn took out a tissue and wiped off the toothpaste from the corner of the boy's mouth, "As long as you close your eyes and sleep, Backyard will still be open to you at any time tomorrow."
John raised the corners of his mouth a little, revealing an extremely satisfied smile.
He nodded solemnly, turned around and trotted upstairs.
Lynn looked at the boy's back disappearing around the corner of the stairs and threw the rag into the sink.
He turned off the kitchen light, listened to the chirping of insects in the grass outside the window, and turned and walked to his room.
