Chapter 212 Heading to Washington
"Why is it suddenly a little cold?"
In front of the computer, Dana, who was in contact with Skye, suddenly felt a chill.
But soon, seeing the reply on the screen, she put this matter behind her, got up and walked towards the living room.
"You are...what's the matter?"
Feeling the solemn atmosphere in the living room, and the two men whose faces were darker than the other, Dana asked cautiously.
Obviously when she just looked over, it wasn't like this.
"Something small."
Feeling embarrassed to say that he might have been tricked, he looked at Dana and asked, "How did your friend answer?"
"She promised to come here, and she can help you with things, but you have to promise her one condition."
Hearing what Ke Lin said, Dana didn't care about her previous feelings anymore, and said quite seriously.
"Help me with things...conditions..." Colin smiled and said, "Well, for your sake, I can promise her a less excessive condition."
To be honest, he didn't think that Dana's hacker friend would be of any help to him in the future, but it was considered to have served him to a certain extent before, and he didn't mind helping out with some minor things that were not so troublesome. .
Dana heard Colin's contempt for Skye, and she was dissatisfied immediately: "Skye is very powerful, she is willing to help you with things, and in exchange for you, it is more than enough!"
Ke Lin listened with a smile and didn't say a word. As his status became higher and stronger in the future, the value of a condition he agreed to could be described as immeasurable.
But Dana praised his friend so much, he didn't need to refute it, it seemed that he was too fussy.
It's just that the name Skye is somewhat familiar, and he is also a hacker, so it can't be such a coincidence...
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Ke Lin didn't show any expression on his face, and calmly said, "What's your friend's address?"
Dana pursed her lips, and read it according to the address sent from the computer earlier.
Colin listened, nodded and said: "Washington... It just so happens that I have something to deal with there..."
After muttering something, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Alex, "I forgot to ask, you went to see Elizabeth, how is her strength? Why do you want to trouble me?"
He does remember the plot in the game, but now that Blackwatch has become Hydra's people, the plot has long been shifted somewhere, and he really doesn't know much about Elizabeth's strength and purpose.
"Very strong, even if I enter the outbreak mode, she can suppress me, and the degree of control and evolution of the virus is even higher than mine.
And according to my feeling, even so, she only used part of her strength to deal with me, and she didn't have much killing intent towards me.
As for the purpose... She said it was a test, but she didn't say what she wanted to test me. "
Alex said cautiously. After returning, the more he thought about it, the more he felt the gap between the two.
He dared to break into Elizabeth's lair relying on the outbreak mode he had developed. Thinking about it now, he was a bit reckless.
"The burst mode you mentioned...how much can it increase your strength?"
Colin thought about it and asked.
Relying on the continuous experiments he conducted when developing the virus vaccine, he had a rough estimate of Alex's strength.
"The overall improvement has more than doubled." Alex replied.
When Colin heard this, his expression became a little serious.
With Alex's special physique, his physical fitness has been doubled again. Even for him, he is still an opponent who needs to be serious before he can deal with it, and if he takes into account the possible hidden combat power, even if he wants to deal with it, he will have to deal with it. Not as easy as imagined before.
"It's a bit stronger than I imagined..." I felt a little bit emotional, but I didn't pay too much attention to it.
Not to mention that they are not the ones who want to deal with Elizabeth the most. Even if they really fight, with all kinds of equipment and props to assist, he definitely does not think that his side will lose.
Left and right are just a question of whether to play easier or harder.
"Since Elizabeth is more powerful than expected, as long as she doesn't continue to provoke us, then I suggest that we let it go temporarily and let the US military continue to gnaw on this hard bone..."
With that said, Colin stood up from the stool, opened the teleportation door and said, "As for me, in order to avoid any further problems, I will go to Washington right now and take that Miss Hacker away..."
"Lupine, Alex, you need to contact me." Colin turned to look at the crowd and said.
"OK!" Lupine waved his hand in greeting.
After Colin disappeared into the room, he looked at Alex and said, "That guy is gone again, what are you going to do next?"
"Stay here." Alex said with a glance at Lupine.
There was nothing to investigate now. Before the decisive battle, all he had to do was to protect Dana and Karen.
"Really? I've been busy investigating this and that recently, and I'm not used to being idle all of a sudden." Lupine rubbed his chin and muttered.
Alex glanced at him and ignored him, turned to Goemon and said, "If possible, I would like to ask you about swordsmanship."
Staying in a safe house doesn't mean you have nothing to do.
One of his goals is to develop his own body so that he can fully exert the combat power of this body.
And in the process, he also hoped to get some advice from Goemon.
After all, he only discovered this one that could exert such combat power with the human body.
"Yes." Goemon glanced at him and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you very much." Alex heard it and thanked him earnestly.
drip...
The phone's message notification tone rang at this time.
Lupine took out his phone and glanced at it, his eyebrows raised.
"What's the matter, Lupine? There won't be anything wrong, right?" Asked the dimension seen on the side.
Lupine frowned slightly, and replied: "Well, Mira sent a message saying that a lot of Visbania ore has been stolen. I hope I can help find it."
"The little queen?" Fujiko asked with some interest.
"Ah, it's a message from her." Lupine handed over the phone.
"But we don't have time now, Lupine." Ji Yuan frowned.
Now they are dealing with the virus, and they can't get away, but Mira's message for help is not at the right time.
"Not necessarily." Lu Bang put the mobile phone returned by Fujiko into his pocket, without explaining much, stretched his waist and said: "I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm so tired today! "
"You bastard!"
Looking at Lu Bang who was walking towards a room, Ji Yuan shook his head.
……
Washington, inside a rental house.
The moonlight shines in from the windows and pours into the unlit room.
Skye stood up from the computer, walking back and forth nervously in the dark room.
A mage, a black mage who can summon skeletons, will soon come to her and take her away, just thinking about it, there is no way to make her relax.
huh~~
He let out a long breath, stood in front of the mirror, looked at the face with dark circles due to staying up late, and patted his face hard.
"Calm down! Be calm! Skye! The other party is friends with Dana's brother, he won't do anything to you, you shouldn't be nervous!"
"Yes, calm down! Calm down!"
Looking at the gradually returning to normal face in the mirror, Skye forced a smile and made a cheering gesture with his fists clenched.
ding dong...
The doorbell rang at this moment.
Suddenly, Skye, who was easing his nervousness in front of the mirror, shivered.
He tilted his head and looked towards the door.
Is it coming...but so fast.
Although I knew from the conversation with Dana that the mage had the ability to travel through space, there is still a huge difference between what I heard and what I felt personally.
"coming!"
After hesitating for a moment, he yelled towards the door.
When the doorbell stopped ringing, he took a deep breath, picked up a mop holder, turned on the light, and walked towards the door.
Outside the door, Colin stood still at the door, listening to the female voice coming from the room after knocking on the door.
As the capital of the United States, Washington DC occupies a huge area. Although he has a detailed address as a basis, it took him a lot of effort to find it all the way as a foreigner.
"It should be right..."
Thinking back to the news he had scrutinized from some passers-by before, Colin thought with some uncertainty.
Da-da footsteps came from the house towards the door. After a while, the handle of the door was turned, revealing a not-so-big gap.
"Miss Skye?"
Looking at the Chinese girl who had a vague impression in front of him, Ke Lin asked with a kind smile.
"Yes, you are the...mage that Dana said?"
After confirming who was coming, Skye hurriedly hid the mop behind his back.
"Yes, but you can call me Colin."
Glancing briefly at the mop pole behind Skye's back, Colin said with a smile.
Skye saw it, and suddenly said in a panic: "Well, this is not... just..."
"No need to explain, Miss Skye, it's normal for a girl living alone to be wary of outsiders, and I can understand it."
Feeling Skye's embarrassment, Colin said gently.
When Skye heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his palms and said, "It's great that you can understand... Sorry, please come in and talk, because it's the first time I saw someone like you, Colin, and I was a little nervous and excited."
Skye opened the door completely and invited Colin.
Colin followed and walked in, taking a rough look at the room.
The room is not big, about thirty to forty square meters, but it is very tidy, and the items are not messy at all, and there is no sense of slovenliness of ordinary singles.
Besides that, the most noticeable thing is the computer with several display screens.
"What would you like to drink? Coffee, juice, beer or..."
"Just boil water." Colin interrupted watching Skye rummaging through the refrigerator in the kitchen.
When Skye heard this, he also stopped rummaging, found two glasses, poured two glasses of water and walked out, looked at Colin and smiled, and seemed a little reserved for a while.
"Miss Skye, don't be nervous. You are Dana's friend, and you have helped me a lot before. You can also be said to be my friend. Just be normal."
"Or, Miss Skye, are you afraid that I will suddenly summon a big monster that will eat you up in one bite?"
Colin took a sip of the water glass and put it down, joking with a smile on his face that made people let go of his guard.
Skye, who was a little cautious, couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and waved his hands again and again: "No, it's just the first time I saw a live one, no, it's a real mage, and Dana said a lot of things before. Mr. Lin, your business, so..."
After speaking, Sketon paused, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Colin to be so talkative."
"Well, do you think I'm the kind of guy who always keeps a straight face and pretends to be mysterious?" Colin said, shrugging his shoulders and said: "To be honest, I really thought about it, but don't you I know, it’s too tiring to say that, so I pretended for a few days and then gave up, it’s easier for people to live as themselves.”
As he spoke, Colin looked at Skye, who was much more relaxed than at the beginning, and paused: "Miss Skye."
"Huh?" Seeing Colin's serious expression, Skye also became serious.
"Haha, don't be so serious." After waving his hand and saying something, he said seriously: "First of all, I would like to thank Miss Skye for your help, otherwise it will be very difficult to get the information I want."
"No, Mr. Lupine and the others are very powerful, even without me..." Hearing the compliment, Skye blushed and waved his hand in denial.
Colin looked at it, smiled and said: "It should be Miss Skye, you don't need to deny your credit, but also because of your help, my enemy may also notice Miss Skye and bring you Danger."
As he said that, looking at Skye whose expression didn't change, Colin continued: "This kind of thing is something I don't want to see, so after I learned about it, I proposed to Dana to send Miss Skye to you. Take them together and protect them from the other side's persecution."
"Of course, our place is not absolutely safe at the moment, and there are even considerable risks, so Miss Skye, whether you are willing to go there, I will respect your choice."
"Please rest assured, even if Miss Skye is not willing, I will not force you. I have always been very talkative to those who have helped me."
With a kind smile on Colin's face, Skye hesitated and said, "Mr. Colin, I have no objection to taking me out of here, and I am willing to continue to help Mr. Colin expose the truth about the virus incident, but... I I also want to ask Mr. Colin for help with something!"
"Please speak." Colin raised his hand and said.
Skye smiled, and said in a somewhat complicated way: "I am an orphan. I have been looking for traces of my parents over the years, and this is also the reason for learning computer technology, but there have been no clues."
"Mr. Ke Lin, you are a mage. I wonder if there is such a spell that can find people!"
Skye's eyes widened, full of anticipation.
Colin pondered for a while, and said, "There are spells like finding blood relatives through blood..."
"Really!" Skye said in surprise before finishing speaking.
Ke Lin looked at it, made a downward gesture, and said helplessly: "But I haven't learned it before, so it will take a while to master it, and there is a certain distance limit for this kind of spell to trace blood. I promise you, but I can't guarantee whether I can really find your parents."
"Really..." Skye was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up and said, "This is already very good. After all, I can see a glimmer of hope. Thank you, Mr. Colin!"
Skye stood up and thanked him.
