Before leaving the teaching area, at the top of a sky corridor, Jill saw the mysterious man. The mysterious man pointed in the direction of the mountains. He had just grabbed Caroline, but when he turned around, he found that the mysterious man was gone.

He quietly told Caroline about the mysterious man's actions.

They both agreed that the mysterious man was telling them where Maxwell was hiding, so he put on a good show in front of Nodia. The three of them agreed to enter the mountain from different positions to maximize the role of the Origin Rite.

There are many mountain streams and springs, and there are many kinds of plants, and it is difficult to compare that all these things in front of us are created by man. What caught Jill's attention the most was a path paved with countless multicolored pebbles that meandered through the woods, wandering, and not knowing where to go. Tonight, the moonlight is unusually clear, shining through the gaps in the trees on the path, which looks very elegant.

Having just walked up a gentle slope, the Origin Instrument in Jill's hand detected the traces of three subhumans, but quickly ran out of range. He judged the general direction of the subman's running, and explained the situation to Caroline and Nodia in voice while chasing.

"I see them!" Caroline said, "You two hurry. ”

At this time, somewhere high in the mountains, a mysterious man was watching Jill and their every move. He doesn't trust anyone. He wants to use Caroline to achieve his goals through JA's hand, but he remains on the sidelines and tentative of his strength. If he doesn't live up to his expectations, he will abandon his partnership with Caroline at any time. Anyway, it's not enough to be honest.

The reason why Caroline was chosen as the leader is because he saw Caroline's resoluteness by chance 28 days ago. Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate, and he happens to believe in fate.

He saw that Caroline was the first to catch up with one of the sub-men, and fought with him. The next minute, Jill flanked from the left and kicked the second sub-man with a side kick, immediately adding a shot to the head.

Jill immediately chased after the third subhuman.

"It seems like I've seen him for the first time!" The mysterious man touched his chin and muttered to himself, "But it's interesting, no, it's getting more and more interesting." He jumped on the back of the mechanical eagle and flew high into the air to leave the school.

Besides, Jill chased the third sub-man for some distance and finally found his target for the night, Maxwell. But to his surprise, no matter how much he called, Maxwell did not respond, and he always maintained a safe distance of 5 meters from the subhuman, and his physical strength was surprisingly good.

Although a little out of breath, Jill could only speed up to chase after him. When the distance was right, he threw the gravitational bomb in his hand, only to see the subhuman being controlled by a gravitational bomb that suddenly appeared from the right side of the subhuman, aiming a plasma bullet at its heart.

He hurriedly put the bomb back. At the same time, Maxwell stopped and turned to face him.

Under Jill's astonished gaze, Maxwell quickly transformed into a round, gray-and-white robot as tall as a man's knee. It walked up one step at a time, and after five steps it stopped, jumping onto a raised rock, "I'm a fluid robot, able to change form at will. My master asked me to take on the form of Maxwell and lure the sub-people around the mountains until you arrived; The Maxwell you're looking for is hiding 500 meters to the southeast. Also, you must have questions for me, and I can answer both of them because time permits. ”

"First, what's your master's name?" Jill said without thinking.

"As the master expected, you will definitely ask such superficial questions." "His name is Boomley, and the rest is kept secret for now." ”

"Second question, what's next?" Caroline walked over and said.

"The owner said that he would inform you as soon as possible. With that done, it's time for me to go. The fluid robot turned, jumped off the rock, and walked forward one step at a time. Its body gradually changes color and blends in with its environment.

A cool mountain breeze blew and swept through their bodies, as if celebrating their victory in battle.

"Can any of you give me more information? What the hell happened I don't know. Nodia stood against Caroline, looking at Caroline and then at Jill.

"I knew you couldn't bear it, so let's talk about it on the way." On the way to find Maxwell, Caroline told Nodia about the mysterious man, "You know, you can't let the fifth person know about it. ”

"Don't worry! You can't trust me. Nordia said.

Following the location pointed by the fluid bot, the three Jill found Maxwell. He soaked in the stream, wearing only a pair of shorts, because the weather was cold, his whole body and cheeks were slightly red from the cold. He poked his head out of the water, and after confirming that he was safe, he quickly climbed up from the stream.

Caroline handed over the clothes and asked, "Was it an uncle who made you do this?" ”

"He said that this way he could escape the pursuit of those monsters and save his life." Maxwell quickly got dressed, "Thank you for coming to my rescue." Can you do me another favor, though? I don't know where the two people sent by my grandfather to protect me have gone, so finding them should be an easy task for you, right? Although I know that something is likely to happen to them, I would appreciate it if you could help me find them. ”

Maxwell's neat and composed language style surprised the three of Jill, but when it comes to Maxwell's identity, it all becomes evidence-based.

"On the way here, I happened to meet two people in security uniforms, and judging by their appearance, they should be the ones you are looking for, but unfortunately they have been killed. I have informed our people to transfer them to the North Gate. I'll take you there. Caroline said.

"Thank you." Maxwell said.

The north gate is facing the highest part of the mountain, and there is no entrance, so they have to re-enter the teaching area to get back to the north gate. Along the way, Maxwell silently followed with his hands in his pockets. Jill and Nodia looked at each other, and then at Caroline.

She stood on Maxwell's right side, and was about to say something, but she closed her mouth again, looking like she wanted to say something.

"I'm curious, how did you get along with your grandfather?" Caroline couldn't help but speak.

"Actually, you want to know why someone as authoritarian as my grandfather would agree to let me stay in school, right?" Maxwell pulled out his right hand and took down an oak leaf that had fallen on his left shoulder, and instead of throwing it away immediately, he pinched it on his fingertips and lowered his hand, "Because of my father." He became a bargaining chip for me and my grandfather. As for what happened between my father and my grandfather, I can't say, please don't be curious. ”

"Of course." Caroline said. She seemed to have another delusion, was it really a high school freshman standing in front of her?

As soon as she entered the teaching area, she received a message from Jayne that there was an emergency and asked her to immediately return to the command vehicle at the North Gate.

She had to get to the north gate first. What she had promised Maxwell would have to be done by Nodia and Jill.

"Actually, you and her are not just superiors and subordinates, right?" Looking at Caroline's back in the distance, Maxwell asked.

"We are friends. How to ask such a strange question coldly. Nodia was surprised.

"Does she have a boyfriend?" Maxwell asked again.

Nodia laughed, "It turns out that you kid is in love with Caroline. However, I can tell you clearly, if you don't play, she won't take a fancy to you. ”

"Why?" Maxwell then asked.

"And why, because you're not her thing." Nodia patted Maxwell on the shoulder, "I admit that you are a little more mature than the average high school student, with a good family background and good looks." However, it's still no fun, because this will be the first and last time you will see each other, so it's better to take care and be your student. ”

"I can see that you like her too. You're trying to dissuade me. Maxwell said lightly.

"I love Caroline, I don't deny that. You don't pose any threat to me. ”

"Not necessarily."

Jill listened without saying a word, but found it particularly interesting. He remembered his high school days, when he had a big argument with Fernando over the details of an extracurricular activity. Two days later, at noon, he invited Fernando to a sumptuous burger before finally agreeing to reconcile with him.

As they approached the school area, Caroline was trotting through the nursery garden. From afar, she saw the two twin-rotor helicopters hovering in the air. She walked over to Lisa, who was waiting outside the command car.

"Jayne will tell you the specifics." Lisa said.

Caroline enters the helicopter through a retractable rope that hangs down.

She took the headset, and Jayne explained the situation to her: "Seven minutes ago, the Red Cuff Company in Mount Vernon was attacked by a large number of submen. I received an order to stop the enemy from usurping the company and, if necessary, to blow it up. ”

"Didn't the red cuff go out of business 1 year ago?" Carolyn asked.

"Not bad. However, half a month ago, JA and the New York State government jointly rebuilt it. Jayne responded, "I just found out, too. Since there is an order from above, we carry it out. ”

"Understood." Caroline said.

Returning to the North Gate, Nodia and Gill first led Maxwell to the two security guards, one of whom had his chest pierced through the back to the front by a claw, and the other's entire right arm was torn off, causing him to bleed to death.

"Actually, they can be completely immortal." Maxwell bowed to them as a token of gratitude.

"Where the duty lies." Nodia said.

After settling Maxwell, Nodia and Jill went to the command car, but did not see Caroline.

"She, Jayne, Young, and fifty of the team members are on their way to Mount Vernon." Lisa said, "The Red Cuff Company was attacked by the Asians, and I immediately received an order from above to stop it. ”

"Red cuffs? Didn't it go out of business 1 year ago? Nodia asked.

"It was secretly rebuilt half a month ago. Perhaps, what Bauakiye had been aiming at from the beginning was that, and the Baileys were nothing more than a front. He put on a good show for us. Lisa responded.

"It's a bit of a shame that we're willing to be spectators. No, I'll have to go and see. Nodia stood up and looked at Jill and asked, "Are you going?" ”。

"Jill can't go." Li Sha immediately spoke out to stop her.

"Oh, I see. It must be that guy Lao Yang knew Jill's identity and wanted to stammer, so he stopped him from going, for fear that he would be in danger. There was a look on Nodia's face that looked like a smile but not a smile.

"It's Jayne. He said that Jill was not a member of JA, so he must not get involved, and Lao Yang was just helping. ”

Nodia sat down again: "It's really rare for the two of them to breathe out of one nostril. In that case, I can do it alone. ”

He didn't want to stay behind and put the finishing touches on it.

"Wait. If I insisted on following, they wouldn't seem to be able to say anything. Jill said. He clearly knew that Nodia wanted to avoid the sight of Jain and the others to save Hebrew from Boacchiye, and he happened to have made up his mind to help Nodia to the end.

Jill also got up: "Get more gravitational bombs, and they will definitely come in handy then." Also, do you have any equipment like a taser? ”

"I see. Yes. Nodia looked at Lisa.

As Li Sha entered the command on the laser virtual keyboard, the entire wall opposite it was retracted from the bottom to the top, leaking out the entire small equipment arsenal inside. In the gear inventory, Jill found a modified version of the Taser gun, the RT A5. It's as big as a plasma gun, so it's easy to hold.

After Jill and Nodia picked up their equipment, Lisa entered the command to close the wall of the car and handed a key to Nodia. The shape of the key was very special and familiar, and Nodia thought that it was the key to Caroline's locomotive.

"Caroline knew she couldn't stop you, so she left the key to the locomotive." Lisa said.

"It seems that a meal or two is not enough." Nodia decisively took the key, "Lisha, you are with you." ”

It was up to Nordia to drive the locomotive. In a hurry, Nodia hung up the locomotive gear to "6", allowing Jill's hair to fly again. But compared to last time, there was no hunger and cold, so it wasn't an ordeal.

Mount Vernon is located in Westchester County, just north of the Bronx, and is the eighth-largest city in New York State. Founded here seven years ago, the Red Cuff Company has grown from strength to strength, generating at least 2 percent of New York State's economic growth each year. Until 1 year ago, the company was exposed to a huge economic scandal, which led to the company's decline and bankruptcy.

It started with chemical integration. After the company went bankrupt, it was not auctioned off immediately, and much of the laboratory equipment was still intact. This is also an important reason why JA and the New York State government funded the acquisition of the company half a month ago.

The Red Cuff Company is surrounded by well-developed transportation routes, with Baychester Ave being the shortest road to and from Lehman High School. By this time, Gil and Nodia had already passed Laconia, and there was less than half of their destination left.
