Chapter 21 The Big Shot

When Jill returned to his room, Fernando was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with a rustic pizza, a large grilled chicken wing, and a fruit salad in front of him. They seemed to beckon to him, causing his stomach to rumble.

"What about you, why do you still like to put the key under the second flower pot on the left side of the staircase, if someone finds out, I'm afraid your amnesia is not far from being exposed. I stayed up all night for a few days and nights, and finally finished the final work of quantum-dense coding at 3 o'clock today, which means that I can finally have a good rest. Fernando raised one of the chicken wings in his hand, "Come and eat." I deliberately didn't touch the pizzas to wait for you, but I waited in line for an hour to buy them. โ€

"I'm really hungry." Jill sat down next to Fernando, pulled out a piece of pizza and took a bite.

"Is Luke easy to handle?" Fernando asked.

"I'm not sure. If he is just a person who is proficient in the world, I think the events are good, but I am afraid that he is a villain who is proficient in the world, then I will not be able to eat it, and it will be difficult for me to deal with it. Jill took a second bite of pizza and chewed. Then he reached out and picked up a cherry tomato with his prepared stainless steel fruit fork and put it in his mouth, enjoying the delicious aroma of pizza and fruit on the tip of his tongue.

"There will be news in the next two days, right?"

Jill nodded.

"It doesn't feel good to be back in Steulette, isn't it?" Fernando alluded to Ina.

Jill looked up and nodded.

"As a reward for helping you gather information and the aftermath of this time, shouldn't you consider paying me in one lump sum?" Fernand said as he ate.

"Aren't you still eating? It's the evening of the 15th, and I'll thank you so much. Because of the results he waited, that day would come as scheduled.

When they had eaten all their food, they sat down in front of the low navy-blue couch, and the soft light shone in through the window of the vertical transformation behind them, splashing on them.

"Jill, did you think the tide came by chance? I never thought that Beckett would take the initiative to ask you to go back to JA Company, of course, you are not bad, and you will take the initiative to take the initiative. Fernando said with a smile.

"Thanks for the compliment. From today onwards, the theater shop is officially opened. In Jill's plan, he would skip Maia to contact Solang, and even if it didn't work, he would take the initiative to negotiate with Beckett on the 14th. Unexpectedly, this happened in advance, and the other party took the initiative to find him.

And just as Jill was leaving New York for Silverbow, a big man came to New York: Jacob, who came from Vienna and was the new president of the Security Council in the coalition government. He did not stop, and as soon as he arrived in New York, he held a press conference in the lobby of the new building of the coalition government, claiming that at 12 o'clock on the 20th, the coalition government would fight Aglia with the highest force as scheduled.

Jacob's headshots and remarks dominated the pages of major news outlets. Within five minutes, ninety-eight percent of the people in New York knew that someone had come out today to declare war on Aglia, and most of them took it as a joke and didn't expect much.

"I wish they could get the Aglia out of the skies of New York, but I'm afraid they'll be the ones who will suffer in the end." Fernando is also one of them.

"No, it's us ordinary people who suffer the most." Jill said.

"I am, but you're not." Fernando burst out laughing.

Jill got up. Before he could stand up straight, the right side of his brain suddenly began to throb, and his eyes turned black, and he almost couldn't stand firmly.

"What's wrong with you?" Fernando asked.

"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy." Jill slumped back on the couch, waiting for the pain to subside. However, as soon as he sat down, there was a knock on the door, "knock knock" and "knock knock", only two times at a time, with an interval of about 1 second.

He immediately understood who was knocking on the door outside.

"I'll bring some cut oranges." Ina's voice came in. Then the door opened inward, and she stood in the doorway with two sliced oranges, with Caroline behind her.

Caroline placed her hands on Ina's shoulders and beckoned to Fernando inside. Then, she gave Ina a a gentle push.

Fernando was also interested, as if he had a spring under his feet, and stood up with a "whoosh". As he was about to pass by Ina, he smiled and secretly waved hello to Ina. Stepping out of the room, he turned to look back before closing the door gently.

"Ina figured it out?" Fernando asked Caroline.

At least she decided to look forward. I'm really happy. Caroline said.

In the room, Ina raised her hand and placed the fruit on the bay window sill behind the sofa, then slowly sat down on the sofa, took out a blue, raindrop-shaped meteorite pendant from her trouser pocket, spread her hand and handed it to Jill. She observed that Jill's face had become wooden when she saw the pendant, and she smiled again and stretched her hand forward.

"How long are you going to let me lift it?" Ina said.

Jill then took the pendant from Ina.

"What you found in the forest you went to is now back to its rightful owner." Ina added, "Actually, I know you don't have amnesia, because your eyes can't fool people, and you can't fool people by hiding the key under the second flower pot on the left opposite side of the staircase." I regret that I didn't choose to trust you in the first place...... In order not to regret it myself, I decided to respond to your heart. She turned sideways to keep Jill from seeing her reddish eyes.

Jill slowly clenched into a fist and wrapped the amulet inside.

He got up, walked over, knelt down on one knee in front of Ina, and looked at her affectionately: "I'm sorry. โ€

"Shouldn't I be the one who says I'm sorry?" Ina smiled, and the tears finally flowed down.

Jill sat back beside Ina, took the orange behind her, and listened to Ina talk about her experiences and insights in the past six months while eating. At the end of the story, she stood up and whispered "I'm leaving" to Jill and walked out of the house, her steps noticeably lighter.

The door was opened again. Caroline and Fernando stood with their backs against the guardrail, welcoming Ina as they walked out.

"I've got to go in and grab the oranges and eat them." Fernando ran in like a gust of wind and closed the door.

Caroline went up and grabbed Ina's arm, and together they walked down the hallway to the kitchen.

"Thank you." Ina said to Caroline in earnest.

"Why thank me again. Prove that you promised me that you will not back down again. Caroline smiled. Half a year ago, when she learned the news of Jill's accident, the obsession in her heart was let go in that instant and she learned how to bless.

Gradually, everyone understood that there was a connection between the explosion of the Aglia spaceship and Jacob's declaration of war.

As for how the explosion occurred, only some of the parties involved know.

Boakiye was so angry at Boomli's betrayal that he was being searched for in the city. Boomley himself quietly fled to Los Angeles, leaving behind two robots to take on his own form, which popped up in some locations in New York from time to time, causing some unrest.

"Bumley" appears in places where people are concentrated many times, and two of them are subway stations.

Therefore, the 14th in New York was "lively".

The tranquility of New York will still come as expected. In his sleep, Jill still came to the rooftop, where there were two symmetrical moons in the night sky, silently illuminating the whole of New York. Suddenly, everything in the space began to shake violently and shatter, and he himself fell from the shattered rooftop, yet far below, with no end in sight.

In reality, he was forced to wake up, his head aching as if it were cracking, and the scene inside the house was ghosted.

In the corner of his desk, which he couldn't see, in a closed notebook, a page of paper was rapidly turning into quantum dust and completely disappearing from this world.

Jill couldn't figure out what was going on with him. After thinking about it, the only explanation he could think of was the words "parallel universe".

After sitting on the edge of the bed for half an hour, the pain slowly subsided. At this time, it was still glowing in the night.

"Wait a minute." Jill lay down on the bed again, closed her eyes, and waited for the dawn.

At 10:00 a.m. on the 15th, the entire town of Billings Silverbow in Montana collapsed downwards and was buried below the horizon.

Half an hour earlier, all the townspeople had moved out of the town and were being resettled in a newly developed subdivision in Billings Cityโ€”a credit to Luke's negotiations.

The incident continued to ferment, and from 15:30, the market value of JA company's stock began to rise, and it has risen by 10 points after 18 o'clock, and it continues to increase. It will go far beyond what Jill has promised to the JA directors.

"I didn't expect him to do it." Looking at the stock market, Solang smiled.

"Strangely, he seems to have expected Silverbow to collapse." Janis whispered from the side.

"It shows that this time, God is willing to stand on his side." Solang put the glass back on top of the cart beside him, "Since he did it, we need to have integrity on our side, Dennis, send him a message in 5 minutes." โ€

"Yes, sir."

Besides, after 30 p.m., Jill's head began to ache again, and double images appeared in front of him from time to time. He went to the hospital, but nothing was found, and the doctor only symbolically prescribed him some painkillers. At 18 o'clock, he returned to the monastery, and as soon as he closed the door, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he fainted and fell to the ground.

By the time he woke up, it was already the 16th.

He rolled over and stretched. He bobbed from side to side and found that his head had become less heavy and no longer hurt.

He pulled out his phone and saw the text message from Denis that had five words written on it: remain neutral.

"Forget it, stay neutral and stay neutral." Jill said helplessly.

Along with that message, a government statement popped up. It occupies the main pages of major news media and screen advertisements, and the publisher is Jacob, and the content is: From 0:00 on the 16th to 0:00 on the 20th, New York's roads, waterways, and aviation will be fully controlled, and the outflow of people will be allowed, but only the two northern underground highways in the Bronx and Staten Island will be opened as exits.

And "urn" is the first word that came to mind to describe New York after Jill saw this statement.

At 9 o'clock, on the top floor of the new coalition government building, the heads of state of more than 20 countries convened a summit meeting of the coalition government.

This supreme meeting of the coalition government has attracted the attention of the world, and every detail will be magnified and exposed to the eyes of the world. For example, the choice to convene the congress at 9 o'clock sharp, the normal time of the United States, is an oath of sovereignty, and the fact that the head of country F, who is a permanent member, did not attend, verified the fact that the two countries are not in harmony, and so on.

"Q has been suffering from illness lately, so I can't attend as scheduled." U.S. Leader K began, "Next, Jacob will explain some things to you. โ€

"In the past six months, large-scale explosions have occurred in 33 prisons in 10 states in the United States, and a total of 95,365 prisoners have gone missing. Agria's transportation network is unique, but not infallible, through the collection and tracking of information, in the mountains of five states, including Colorola and Nevada, those newly abandoned temporary bases used to create sub-human beings were found, in other words, all the prisoners have been transformed into sub-humans. These subhumans will eventually be transported to New York. Jacob wore a blue tie with a formal outfit to make the whole person look high-spirited.

"It may be a bit of a mistake to say 'transport', but I can't find a better word for it yet. I think that those people will come to the city on the 20th, and the total control of the transportation network is to defuse the impending crisis.

"According to the agreement, the fighter jets of Britain, China, Russia, and country G need to land at the nearest military airfields in New Jersey and Connecticut before 0:00 on the 20th."

"'TMX' will be placed as planned by 14 o'clock today." Jacob ended his speech and returned the right to speak to the others who needed to speak.

The leaders sitting around a long C-shaped conference table began their conversation with questions, which was serious and lively.

It's very similar to the atmosphere in New York right now.

Naturally, Boakye, who was the head of Aglia, had to concentrate his energies on dealing with the coalition government's declaration of war, and "defeat them, and they would be more peaceful" was also his true idea.

Because of the confrontation between the two sides, all the members of the Blade Squad became idle.

So, Nodia organized a dinner on the island of Worth at noon, to thank Jill and Caroline for their help, and to celebrate with them the return of the Hebrews to their normal state.

In addition to Jill and Caroline, there was also Fernando.

The Hebrew they saw had become the same as a normal person, except for a semicircular "iron hood" fastened on the back of the head, shaped like a sun hat with the brim offโ€”a signal blocker that inhibited the sensory controls in the Hebrew head.

"It's more urgent, so the appearance will inevitably not keep up." Nodia said as she greeted.

"I will definitely change it later." Fernando responded.
