Chapter 17: Hope
Sitting at the table, Jessica's face was much better.
The group of people who didn't stay for self-study at the end of school had finished eating, and now there were only two customers left in the entire burger joint, Ivan and Jessica.
"Fan, am I behaving badly..."
Jessica looked at the deep-sea cod burger and a pile of chips in front of her, as if she hadn't recovered from what had just happened.
"No..."
"I saw that the man was dead, really dead, and his heart was pounding, he was alive a moment ago..."
"It was his choice, he joined the Maja gang, wanting to mix gangs and find a shortcut to wealth, but he also took risks."
Ivan felt that the facts had been laid out, and the driver was a subordinate of the little white boss Gri.
He felt that Gerry had sent someone to drive into him, not to hurt him, but to use him against the new hired killer on the block, Bullseye.
However, it was a conflict of interests between the two gangs, and he was involved in it, and he thought that he should talk to Gerry when he was idle.
"Drink some ice water."
The store is self-service, pay the money to eat and drink as you like, seeing that there is no one, Ivan's eyes swept over the vending machine in the northwest corner, and in a flash of thought, two cans of cold Coke rolled out of the sales office, and they quickly flew in front of Ivan and Jessica and landed firmly on the table.
Jessica was stunned for a moment.
She was in need of a cool drink, and she drank it right out of the can... Goo knock goo knock...
"Fan, thank you." Jessica feels much better.
It's cool and comfortable.
"Well, let's go back to the dormitory and get some rest."
"But I'm a little worried."
"What's wrong?"
"Fan said before that he had a feud with the Maja Gang, such a terrible gang..."
Is it scary? Ivan recalls the Majja gang members he had met...
The cognizant white boss Gri, the streaking perverted Baker, and the Ascension trio...
(*≧∪≦) one is more funny than the other!
They had nothing to do with Ivan.
"Jessica, don't worry, they don't pose a threat to me." Ivan reassured.
Jessica smiled: "Yes~ How can the gods be in danger!" ”
"Well~ That's right! I won't be in any danger! ”
"(๑╹◡╹)ノWhere will also emit blue light ~唿~唿~"
"That's right, let's eat it~"
Ivan's smile and words were as hopeful as the dawn sun, infecting Jessica.
In this light, the gloom was dispelled, and people's hearts became clear again.
In the next few days, Ivan went to the abandoned warehouse, in order to talk to Gerry about life, but he didn't expect that the abandoned warehouse was really abandoned, and there was no one, leaving only cigarette butts in one place...
I don't know if I was killed by a bullseye... Or shifted positions.
At the same time, Jessica also told Ivan in detail about her abilities, in her single bedroom.
Her ability is as simple as her others, pure strength.
This energy was awakened from the very beginning of her workout, and after that, Jessica would find that her strength was getting more every week, and the rate of increase would gradually slow down until she went to the gym again, and the increase would increase again.
Ivan estimated that her current strength should be about the same as that of Captain America.
It's just that... What about defense? Ivan takes into account that defense is important, and it would be nice if Jessica had the muscle density of Captain America!
So that day in Jessica's dormitory, he proposed to test it with Jessica...
He poked Jessica's abs with his fingers...
"(✪ω✪) How's it going, do you feel it?"
"Ae... It feels the same as before! "Jessica used to mean before she woke up.
Jessica's abdominal muscles look so good~ Poke it up and are full of elasticity!
"(✪ω✪) I'll poke and poke hard, do you feel the pain!"
"(*≧∪≦) Hmm!"
In the end, Jessica's muscles were about the same as a normal person's defense.
Because if she pokes it with all her might, it will hurt...
"It's a dangerous world where anything can happen, and she's not able to protect herself when I'm not around."
Ivan thought of Captain America again, the famous hero who was once active on the screen and seemed to be able to fight any villain.
Of course, this has to do with his defensive performance, and the reason why the American team is so resistant is that the muscle density is a point, and more importantly, ...
His shield.
This shield is made of a mixture of various metals, Captain America takes it and does not take it is two kinds of combat power, because the shield defense is extremely high, the American team often relies on the enemy to break the shield to fight a protracted battle, fight with the enemy, and finally drag to the teammates reinforcements...
It can be said that the shield has made a great contribution to his strength.
If Jessica were given a whole shield like this... Isn't there an offense and a defense?
Ivan decided that when the time came, he would investigate the materials of the American team's shield, see what components they were made of, how much each material was accounted for, and then find a way to get these materials and metals.
Once it is complete, it is bonded with psionic energy to make a 'Shield of Hope'.
Yes... Ivan even thought of the name of the shield.
Since Jessica itself does not have the basic defense of Captain America, Ivan decided to design the Shield of Hope as a 'Tower Shield', which is a large rectangular shield that is more than one person high, wide and large, and covers a wide area.
The downside of this shield is that it is heavy, but weight is not an issue for Jessica.
...
A few days later, the business card that Bullseye requested to deliver had been placed on Principal Dorian Gray's body, secretly in his pocket with superpowers.
Ivan has seen the business card of the bullseye, and it is better to say that it is a business card than a self-recommendation card, because in addition to the contact information, it is a large section of self-introduction...
- "I'm a bullseye, trained by rigorous self-training, combat expert, good at throwing knives, I can silently take anyone's life, I'm a qualified killer, and a qualified bodyguard, if you need me, welcome to cooperate, price negotiation." ”——
Ivan thought it was funny, it would be strange if the headmaster hired such a person to come to the school!
However, what Ivan didn't expect was that Dorian Gray, the principal of Townsend Harris, was not a middle-aged man who played cards according to common sense, and it didn't take long for Bullseye to really become the school's security guard, and it was a peripheral security guard that had not been seen before.
He is responsible for protecting the students off campus, just around the corner of the school! He's all in charge!
What Ivan didn't know was that the reason why Dorian Green hired Bullseye was not because he suddenly found that he had a silent extra business card in his pocket, plus the introduction of Bullseye said that he could take people's lives silently...
At the moment, he was shocked by heaven and man, and he spared no expense to hire him!
After that, every adult who passed by the main entrance of the school was stared at coldly by the bull's-eye...
