Chapter 513: Afternoon Time Each depends on his acting skills
After the meeting with Magneto, Zhou Yi wandered aimlessly around the downtown center of Huiyao City alone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info is a little ashamed to say, although the city is already equivalent to his private assets, and he is also the nominal owner of the city. But when it comes to familiarity with the city, he probably can't even compare to the average citizen.
Especially after the city was expanded several times by the Corona Company, it was completely different from the place he remembered. Of course, this is not a bad thing. Because it means that the city of Huiyao is changing in a good direction. And this is exactly what Zhou Yi is happy to see. Huiyao City is not only his work, but also his territory and home. It's great to be able to watch it develop in a better direction day by day.
For the current Zhou Yineng, being able to watch everyone start the day with a smile on their faces, watching humans and mutants walk side by side on the same street, talking and laughing. It was enough to give him a sense of comfort. At the very least, all this proves that he is not a fool who has spent half his life in vain, and at least there is a place for him to remember everything he has left behind.
With this somewhat ridiculous mood, Zhou Yi sat down at the table outside a restaurant on the side of the pedestrian street. He ordered something at random, and sat there, wasting his time looking at the pedestrians and the city with a strange eye.
It's just past four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, but it's very leisurely. Among them, there are quite a few people who are enjoying the same comfortable sunshine and the same wonderful afternoon tea time as Zhou Yi. So from Zhou Yi's point of view, the whole city seems to be immersed in a dusk photo. Soothing and sombre, it's as if time has stood still.
This is indeed a rare experience for Zhou Yi, who has been busy all the time, and sometimes even doesn't know where his time has been squandered. Think about the last time he was able to sit in a place so leisurely, not thinking about anything and just doing such a thing to pass the time, but it was so far away that even he couldn't remember it clearly, and thinking about it carefully, it even made him feel like a world away.
Is it really a long time? Not necessarily! It's just that some things are too deeply depressed. He thought back for a while, and he couldn't get used to it. It is precisely because of this that this kind of leisurely and comfortable relaxation time is particularly valuable.
However, this time was short-lived. Because Zhou Yi was stunned and vacated his eyes. As he stared down the street, a figure suddenly stood in front of him, blocking all his vision.
"Hello, sir. Can I sit here and share a table with you? ā
It was a young and beautiful girl who spoke. He looks like he's in his twenties. Her long brown hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing her beautiful face and aura-like eyes. Her wheat-colored skin exudes a healthy youthful demeanor, and the casual clothes she wears make her look full of freedom and individuality for her age.
was blocked from view, Zhou Yi not only did not get angry, but looked at her with a smile, until the smile on her face began to become a little cramped. He said to her.
"Of course, miss. If you don't mind sitting with an older man, I'd love to spend some quality time with a beautiful young lady like you! ā
"You speak so nicely, sir!" He smiled a little stiffly. The girl sat down opposite Zhou Yi, then took out a magazine in front of him and read it.
The magazine in her hand is very interesting, not like something that is sold by some big newspaper, but more like some lace news grapevine or something. One of the headlines, which had been annotated by the border, stood out against her movements. Even for Zhou Yi, it was a bit dazzling.
"The demon god who lives in this world? A hero in the cloak of hypocrisy? This is the content of the title, and underneath the title, the image of the Knight of the Dawn standing in the air surrounded by the night demon is even more clear and unforgettable.
It's only been a few days, and my reputation has already become like this. Although I was mentally prepared, I suddenly saw such a thing. Zhou Yi still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
This is the human race, this is the human being that he has put down so many people to protect. Thinking of this, Zhou Yi suddenly had an urge to laugh. But he didn't smile, not even a laughing expression. He just squinted. Silently staring at the girl in front of him. The cold light that emanates from the corners of the eyes makes people feel frightened even if they just glance at it.
And seeing Zhou Yi's scary eyes, where did the woman sitting opposite him dare to continue to hold this sultry magazine. She hurriedly stuffed the magazine into her small bag, then smiled innocently at Zhou Yi, and began to talk about him left and right.
"By the way, I haven't asked for advice yet. I'm Skye. From New York. Sir, are you a native of the city? ā
"I'm not a local compared to most of the people here. But compared to tourists like you, I'm also a host. Skye, please forgive me for addressing you in such a direct way. You said you were from New York, how could you have thought of coming to such a small city? ā
While answering the girl's question, Zhou Yi played a game of you ask me and answer with her. He already knew the identity of this girl, but he was a little curious about what she wanted to do.
Anger yourself? From what she had just done, we could draw such a conjecture. But after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yi denied this idea again. S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have the need to provoke itself, nor did it have the courage to provoke itself. Unless they don't think they're in trouble enough.
But if that's not what S.H.I.E.L.D. meant, then who could it be? Is it the girl's own meaning, or is it someone behind him? With this thought, Zhou Yi was a little looking forward to her answer.
"I'm a freelancer and I heard that the city is a good place to try my luck. However, so far no suitable job has been found. As for why I came to this city, I can only say that there is no way to do it. Skye didn't know that his identity had already been exposed in front of Zhou Yi. Facing Zhou Yi, she tried her best to show her acting ability, made a helpless look, and continued.
"I think sir, you know all that terrible thing that happened in New York. Although everything is already over. But for every New Yorker, we are forced to make a choice. Because of the damn nuclear radiation, we have to leave our homeland. Go in search of a new home. And this city is my choice. ā
"I'm sorry for what happened to you, Skye. But I still don't understand why it's here. It's just a small city. It's not comparable to the land of New York. And, if you had to choose, wouldn't the West Coast be better? As far as I know, isn't the headquarters of the current Avengers located there? Wouldn't it be safer if you settled there? ā
"West Coast. That's the choice of the rich. I'm not as generous as they are! Hearing Zhou Yi's question, Skye's face showed a smile with a slight mockery. All I have is a second-hand car and a pile of rags, and thanks to the aliens and the government, the little possessions I have have become a pile of trash that no one recognizes. Now I can say that I am penniless. It just so happened that I heard the news that the city was willing to take in a large number of homeless New Yorkers, so I came! ā
"I see!" With a slight smile on his face, Zhou Yi took his eyes off her and put it on this thriving city. "Miss Skye, though your past doesn't sound so rosy. But trust me, your choice is definitely the right one. This city will be your second home. And it's definitely a second home that doesn't lose to New York. ā
"I hope so, too. Still, sir. Are you so confident about the future of the city? ā
Pouting, Skye grinned with difficulty. It can be seen that she doesn't seem to agree so much with what Zhou Yi said.
Her expression naturally couldn't hide from Zhou Yi's eyes, and for her performance, Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said.
"Actually, you should ask yourself, Skye. It is you who chose this city, and it is because you have faith in this city. If not. Who would choose such a place? Don't forget, Shine City isn't the only place willing to accept New Yorkers, and there has been a terrible Resident Evil here. Even now, it's one of the most mutant cities in the world. ā
"For most people. None of the cities are the best options. If there is a ranking, I believe that Huiyao City will definitely fall behind. Of so many New Yorkers, only a handful of them choose to do so. And why these people chose this place, I think they must have some reason. Isn't it? Skye. ā
"There is a reason, of course." looked at Zhou Yina's gaze on him, which was almost about to penetrate into the depths of his heart. Skytron smiled. continues to perform his role. "Well, since you've said so. Then that's all I can tell you. Still, sir. I hope you don't talk about it, or I'm not responsible for any disaster. ā
"Of course, trust me, I'm a tight-lipped person. Even if you're asleep, you won't say something you shouldn't say. ā
Seeing that this girl named Skye still had the intention of performing, Zhou Yi raised his cup and assured her.
Seeing Zhou Yi make this appearance, Skye's eyebrows jumped, so he moved his chair and came up.
"Listen to me, sir. I've got some unknown news. According to the information I received, the Dawn Knight, the guy who is both a superhero and a god, is staying in this city. It is precisely because of him that I am willing to come to such a place and start a new life. ā
"Why?" Hearing her words, Zhou Yi laughed inexplicably. He stared at the girl who looked like she was a thief and asked. "Hasn't that guy started everyone shouting and fighting? Now that the whole world almost sees him as a demon, why do you still want to find his footprints and come to this city? Aren't you afraid that he will be unhappy and burn all the people, including you, to death? ā
"I'm not afraid, of course I'm not afraid!" Faced with this question, Skye answered categorically. "I always believed he wouldn't do something like that. In fact, in my heart, he will always be that hero! (To be continued.) )
