Two days later, the waiting hall at the New York City coach station is still as busy as usual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

While most Americans prefer to fly or drive themselves when traveling across continents, there are many who prefer a more inexpensive form of transportation than a long-distance bus.

Mindy handed the orange juice she had just bought to her father. Looking at his pale face, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Don't worry Dad." She rubbed Damon's shoulder. "It's all over, and everything will be fine."

Damon, on the other hand, did not react to her words, but kept staring blankly into the distance. Mindy didn't show any surprise at this, she just brought the glass of orange juice to Damon's mouth and let him subconsciously take a sip.

Watching her father move like a wooden man, Mindy sighed. In fact, she is already very satisfied with the current situation.

Three days ago, the moment he woke up, Damon, who was still under Kilgrave's mind control, suddenly slammed into Mindy, who was taking care of him in front of him. And at that time, he came to fight his daughter with 100% killing intent. If it weren't for his own injuries, Mindy, who had been scaring about the other party and restrained, might have really let Damon escape.

And when the mind-control effect wore off, the first thing Damon did almost scared Mindy's soul away. He directly picked up his matching gun, put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, and pulled the trigger.

However, the muzzle of the gun did not eject the bullet that would have pierced his head. Luckily, Mindy had unloaded all the bullets from Damon's weapon before that. Otherwise, if she falls short at this last moment, she will probably go crazy. She lunged forward, pinning her father to the ground to prevent him from doing more self-harming moves.

"I don't deserve and shouldn't live, little sweetheart." After seeing his daughter, the smile on Damon's face was terrifyingly stiff, as if he were possessed by evil spirits in horror movies. "I did a lot of unforgivable things, including that kid..."

"That's not you, you're just controlled by him." Mindy hugged her father, who had finally come to his senses, and tears flowed uncontrollably. "It's not your fault."

"No, you don't understand." Damon sighed. "It wasn't total mind control, I could feel that I really wanted to do that. He just freed me from the dark side that had always existed in my heart. And even now, I don't have any resistance to those things at all. ”

"I don't care!" Mindy shouted. "I don't care if my dad becomes a heinous villain!"

"Just because you don't care doesn't mean that others don't care," Damon shook his head with a wry smile. Killed so many people and did so many evil things. There's already a seat in hell reserved for me. ”

"That's after you go to hell." Mindy stared into Damon's eyes, her gaze unwavering. "I've spent almost five years trying to get you back, and I'm not going to lose you again. Try to forget everything for my sake and live well, okay? ”

Looking at his daughter's eyes, which were the same as those of a thirteen-year-old her, a strange feeling came over him. Damon nodded with emotion.

"This young lady, watch your wallet." A slightly green voice rang in Mindy's ears, interrupting her musings. She looked down at her waist and saw that the zipper of her bag hadn't been fully zipped, and a corner of her wallet was leaking out. If there was a pickpocket in the crowd, the wallet, the papers and hundreds of dollars in cash would be gone.

"Ah, that's a lot—" Mindy looked up, about to thank the owner of the voice. And when a face she was quite familiar with appeared in front of him, she punched out without the slightest hesitation.

This hasty punch was quietly caught by Peter. Looking at Mindy's surprised expression, he smiled before whispering.

"Miss McCready, please don't panic, I'm not your enemy. And—" Peter gestured to the crowd around him who had begun to look this way. "Even if it is, it's not a good place to fight."

Mindy jerked her hand back, looked at Peter with wary eyes, and took two steps back.

"It's not an enemy, so what are you doing here?" She said with a sneer. "I didn't remember sending you an invitation."

"Don't be so ruthless, Miss Purple Eyes." Peter's expression remained untouched by Mindy's cold reaction. "After all, you've been using me as your pawn for so long, and you won't even say a few words to me?"

"There's nothing more to say. Besides, I've already saved your life, and we've already settled it. ”

"Liangqing, are you sure it's Liangqing?" For the first time, a shadow crossed Peter's face. He took a step forward, and Mindy subconsciously took a step back. "You let go of my bait, can one life be considered two clear? Even if the trap itself was laid by yourself? ”

"What exactly do you want?" Mindy asked through gritted teeth. The opponent's strength is even higher than her own without weapons, and it is naturally impossible for her to subdue the opponent without attracting attention under this kind of public court.

And at this moment, Damon's voice came from not far away from them.

"Mindy, did you run into a friend?"

Mindy's body froze, and Peter gave her a meaningful look. "Let's go over, it's not a good place to talk."

-----

"Hello, Mr. McCneaty." Peter, who sat across from Damon and Mindy, said hello, and Damon frowned.

"We've met before?" He asked, uncertain. More than four years of repeated brainwashing have shredded his memories to a pulp, and many places have been distorted to a certain extent, and it is normal to not remember Mindy's childhood friends. But for some reason, he always felt that the other party's voice seemed a little familiar

"That's right, the night three days ago, the bar. We had a brief encounter with each other. ”

"It's you!" Damon recognized him immediately. "You're the lad who can ignore Kilgrave's abilities!"

"That's right, that's me. To be honest, I have a hard time believing that quiet bodyguard could be the 'big dad' who used to fight criminals. ”

Damon subconsciously wanted to apologize, but he was stopped by Peter. "Mr. McCready, I understand that you had no control over your actions at the time, and I don't blame you for all of this. But I need your help now. My friend is now suffering the same fate that you suffered before, and I hope to be able to avoid all of this. ”

"And that doesn't matter what we do." Mindy immediately tried to cut Peter's words off and rejected him directly, but Damon opened his mouth to himself.

"What you have to do is almost impossible." He shook his head with a wry smile. "Kilgrave's abilities are far more dangerous than you think. If you do take away his 'doll', he will do anything to get revenge. When the time comes, it will only be the people of the city who will suffer. ”

"But she rescued you."

"It took me more than four years." Mindy's icy voice joined the conversation. "And the reason he's not going crazy right now is because he's found a replacement."

"And that replacement is my friend." Peter pointed this out unceremoniously. "If what you say is true, you sacrificed my friend in order to save your father."

"Your friend was implicated because of your own actions."

"But you can't deny that you're the culprit."

"The culprit? You're going to settle accounts with Kilgrave. ”

"That's what I'm going to do, but I need your help. You owe us that..."

Just as Peter and Mindy were talking faster and faster, and their voices were almost arguing, Damon interrupted their conversation with a sudden exit.

"Enough!"

He turned to look at Peter, his eyes bloodshot behind them. "I've just come back from hell and I'm ready to leave it all behind. This is for my safety and that of my daughter. If you're going to convince us to do you a favor, you'll also need some heavier chips. ”

"And how about an old friend's request?" George. Stacy's voice rang out from behind them, and Damon stood up suddenly, looking at him with a look of surprise.

"Anyway, I guess I'm looking at you like that." George spread his hands. "After all, it wasn't me who disappeared in an explosion, and we all thought you died in the war you started yourself."

"I'm sorry, but now we don't have a high level of trust in those who wear police badges." Mindy on the side opened her mouth, her tone still as cold as the cold wind of winter.

"It's the right thing to do, and you really should do it." George's brow furrowed, and he sat down next to Peter. "But now I'm an idler on paid leave, I don't know if this look can give me some points."

"Alright, that's the end of the greetings." Damon frowned. "We still have a lot to talk about."
