251. Skye is missing
As an Inhuman who grew up in Attilan City since he was a child, and is also a member of the Inhuman royal family, Maximus has a sense of superiority when facing Inhumans like Jia Ying Gordon.
In his opinion, these Inhumans who were left behind on Earth were undoubtedly low-level Inhumans.
Only Inhumans born in the city of Attilan on the moon are truly Inhumans.
Only they are qualified to reclaim Earth on behalf of the Inhumans.
Just as Maximus's right hand was about to touch Jia Ying's face, Jia Ying grabbed his right hand and cast her own ability.
The moment Jia Ying grabbed his right hand, the life force in Maximus's body began to flow wildly, and was forcibly absorbed by Jia Ying.
A painful sensation that cannot be described in words pervades the whole body.
His skin rapidly darkened at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the flesh in his body began to dissipate rapidly.
Maximus tries to use his abilities to break free from Jiaying's control and get himself out of this near-death situation.
But he soon found that his abilities seemed to disappear with the passage of his life force.
Will die!
I'm going to die here!
Just when despair appeared in Maximus's heart, Jiaying withdrew her right hand and stopped absorbing Maximus's life force.
"There's no next time, understand?"
Jia Ying's tone was as calm as ever, but in this calm tone, Maximus heard a full threat.
But now he doesn't have time to pay attention to that.
Although Jia Ying stopped absorbing his vitality, he lost a lot of his vitality in a short period of time, showing weakness like a dying patient.
If he hadn't supported the edge of the table with his hands, he wouldn't even have the strength to stand now.
"You ......"
Maximus didn't expect that Jia Ying would dare to do something to him, and he would be so domineering as soon as he made a move.
If it weren't for the fact that Maximus was needed to contact Attilan City in the next plan, Jia Ying wouldn't mind turning him directly into a paralyzed waste.
From the outside, Jia Ying is a powerless woman, with a weak body, a gentle personality, and kindness.
But as the master of the afterlife, how could she look as weak as she looked.
In the past, she may have lacked some ruthlessness and domineering.
But after that inhumane and painful experience, she was completely dead.
Now, she is the leader of the Inhumans in the afterlife, and a careerist who will not hesitate to plunge the entire world into chaos in order to achieve her goals.
And all this was taught to her by Whitehall of Hydra.
After standing like a puppet for more than ten minutes without saying a word, Maximus barely regained the strength to walk freely and staggered out of Jiaying's study.
Rogge didn't know anything about what was happening in the afterlife.
Now, he is enjoying the gentle experience that Gwen brings.
After a crazy night, he was still asleep when he was woken up by a call from Hinata.
"My lord, Miss Skye is missing!"
Hinata didn't say any superfluous nonsense and reported the situation to Rogge 1510.
Skye, who was supposed to leave with the team this morning, did not show up, and Hinata immediately investigated the entry and exit records and surveillance records of the headquarters.
Then, nothing was found.
Skye hasn't been seen since surveillance video captured Skye's return to her room at nine o'clock last night.
There were no entry and exit logs, no damage to the defenses, and no one in the room.
After further calling up the hidden energy monitoring system, Hinata discovered a clue.
Shortly after Skye returned to the room, an anomalous energy appeared in Skye's room.
Subsequently, the anomalous energy vanished, as did Skye's vital energy signal.
"See if Calvin is still there outside the headquarters?"
Rogge frowned, a bad premonition coming to his mind.
"No trace of Calvin Zabo found!"
Hinata replied immediately.
"Alright, I know what's going on, let Kara replace Skye on this mission, and I'll take care of the rest!"
When Calvin Zabo inexplicably appeared near the Konoha headquarters base, he had already secretly sent someone to keep an eye on the situation in the afterlife.
He didn't care if he would engage in some messy terrorist activities in the afterlife, he only cared if Jiaying would fight Skye's idea.
In terms of identity, Jia Ying is Skye's mother, but he doesn't think Jia Ying is a qualified mother.
Although Skye's identity has been manipulated by S.H.I.E.L.D., if Jiaying really wants to find Skye, it is not a particularly difficult thing for her.
Even Calvin Zabo can investigate some clues, and Jiaying, who controls the afterlife, will only be easier if she wants to investigate.
But it is clear that Jiaying did not have the idea of looking for Skye.
Skye needs a family, but she doesn't need a family that uses her as a tool, but a family that really cares about her.
"Something happened to Konoha over there, I'm going back!"
After getting dressed, Rogge said to Gwen, who was still lying on the bed.
Ever since he became the head of the Konoha Intelligence Bureau, his secret nest in New York has become Gwen's secret stronghold.
Of course, when he returns to New York, it will become a cosy little home for him and Gwen.
"Can't you stay a few more days every time?"
For Rogge's practice of only staying for a few days at a time and leaving, Gwen was also dissatisfied.
"Next time!"
As soon as the words fell, Rogge's figure disappeared and returned to the Konoha headquarters in Washington.
"Help me arrange for Kunshi and a team of dark parts, I'm going to visit Skye's mother in the afterlife!"
Five minutes later, Rogge flew towards the afterlife with a dark team.
Jia Ying took the initiative to send someone to Konoha, why should he pay a return visit, otherwise it will seem that he does not know how to be polite.
At this time, Skye in the afterlife is tasting the first dinner after the reunion of mother and daughter with Jiaying.
More than ten hours ago, Gordon brought Skye to the afterlife and let her meet her biological mother, Jia Ying, whom she had been looking for for more than 20 years.
But I don't know why, after meeting Jia Ying, after knowing that Jia Ying is the biological mother she has been looking for for more than 20 years, Skye did not have too obvious emotional fluctuations.
No excitement, no excitement, no surprise.
Skye had a ton of questions in her head, but she didn't know where to start.
"What's wrong? Don't you have an appetite? ”
Looking at the completely untouched cutlery in front of Skye, Jia Ying asked in a soft tone.
