196 Qualitative change
"You mean there's nothing there?" Summer held the phone and watched the magnificent scene of the sunset outside the window, but there was no interest in appreciating it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, when the Japanese Yakuza Gang's transport ship didn't arrive at the Black Horse Pier, I teleported in with Victor, and there was nothing there, it was an empty ship." There was a sneer from Nicole on the other end of the line.
"Looks like they're trying to lure us out." Summer's face became serious, and she came to a conclusion.
"There are indeed a lot of ambushes on the shore, Victor has found a lot of gangsters, and the weapons are also military grade, I thought they were very serious about this cargo and tried to increase their defenses, but now it seems that they should want to kill me." Nicole nodded and said, "It's a trap, they must be trying to fight back, they don't have any plans to transport goods at all." ”
Summer's face was a little strange, and said, "There are back and forth, so it's fun, you didn't expose it, right?" ”
"No, Victor's advice is very pertinent, I think he and yours should be in the same vein, so I followed his advice and came back with him, and no one ever noticed us." Nicole responded.
"Jessica's side is also busy, it's time to find the Yakuza Gang, tell Wesley to be careful lately, let's explore the way of the Hand." Summer commanded.
"Are you finally going to get into trouble with those top crime groups? I've been waiting for a long time, hee-hee......" Nicole's words revealed a hint of longing, a hint of joy.
"Well, I didn't plan to wipe them out, that's almost impossible, teach them a lesson, and the most important thing is that I have to find traces of the Hand and nip the 'Shadowland Incident' in the bud." Summer responded.
"Well, that's right." Thinking of Matt Murdoch, who had been blackened in another world, Nicole also became serious.
Summer finalized the plan, used the butterfly knife in his hand to insert the photo of "Ji Gangxin" on the picture wall, got up and walked out of the study, came to the handrail, turned over and jumped down the third floor, but did not find Jessica's figure in the family room on the first floor, Summer frowned, closed his eyes, and his mental ability surged out, but he "saw" a scene that made him very dissatisfied.
Summer walked quickly to the east side of the living room and saw a female drunk. Jessica was drunk, half-seated and half-lying by the fireplace, surrounded by a pile of empty wine bottles, her dark half-long hair was unusually messy, and her red lips were in stark contrast to her pale skin.
When Summer walked in, Jessica was taking the last sip of wine, slightly annoyed as she turned over the empty bottle and put it on top of her face, sticking out her tongue and waiting for the last drop of wine to fall, the drunken appearance made Summer a little dissatisfied, he wanted to be a superpower player, not a drunkard.
"No, it's all gone, do you still have any wine here?" Jessica asked, grabbing her black hair with one hand, and the words that came out of her lips and teeth were a little blurry, and Summer could only understand a rough idea.
"You've had enough." Summer frowned and looked at the empty wine bottles on the ground.
"You're right, Dad. Can I sleep with the bear in my arms tonight? I got an 'A-' in my exam yesterday. Jessica glanced coldly at Summer, muttered indistinctly, supported the edge of the fireplace with one hand, staggered to her feet, her body swayed a little, and finally got up, and only took a step before she gave up and fell to the ground.
Summer knew Jessica's stinky and hard personality, so she didn't take Jessica's taunts seriously, walked up to Jessica, grabbed her arm, and tried to pull her up.
But Jessica shook her hand fiercely, pushed Summer out of the way, and landed on the sofa.
"Jessica?" Summer sat down and looked at the woman lying on her back on the floor with a serious face.
Jessica slowly propped herself up, but finally gave up, lying on the shaggy carpet, silent.
"What happened? I thought you'd be better off when Kilgrave died. "Summer really didn't understand why she was the way she was.
"Leave me alone......" Jessica grabbed an empty wine bottle on the ground and threw it at Summer.
But it was held up in mid-air by Summer with her ability, Jessica looked at the wine bottle floating in the air a little distractedly, until it was held by a hand and placed on the coffee table, Jessica's eyes looked down and saw Summer kneeling beside her.
"If it's a celebration, it's a joy that no one else can share." Summer was unexpectedly very patient, on the one hand, Jessica was a new recruit, and on the other hand, Summer did know what Jessica was going through, so he did make some concessions.
"Celebrate... Joy ......" Jessica muttered two words in her mouth, her eyes slowly turned red, curled up, lying on her side on the carpet, her head clasped with her hands, and a muffled voice came out, "Where is there any celebration, where is joy, shit ......"
"Jessica!" Summer also realized that something was wrong, this was definitely not a woman celebrating Kilgrave's death, and Summer, who had always been cautious, pulled Jessica's arm away, tried to help her up and sit on the ground, and asked, "What happened?" ”
"I told Hope (Jessica's replacement, the schoolgirl who was controlled by the Purple Man to shoot her own parents), told her the news of that demon's death, I hope she can cheer up, I will do everything I can to help her, I will find someone else controlled by Kilgrave, testify to her, I want her acquitted." Jessica lowered her eyes, tears hung on her long eyelashes, and her choked voice made people feel a little distressed.
Summer silently looked at the madwoman in front of her, not knowing how things were going.
"She told me she was pregnant." Jessica's smile was bitter, and her pale face was set against the fireplace flames, creating a poignant pattern.
"She wants?" Summer was stunned for a moment, this was beyond his expectations, Summer was not a party, I don't know what the girl named Hope thought.
"She wanted to get rid of the child, she said she felt sick every time she touched her lower abdomen, and she couldn't help but spit on herself whenever she thought of having a seed of sin in her body." Jessica muttered with her head down.
"The level of medical care is very good now, and this kind of thing is very simple." Summer's words were interrupted by Jessica.
"The appointment of a doctor in prison has been scheduled for two months, but after two months, it is too late......" Jessica's voice revealed extreme helplessness, obviously, at this time, she has not changed her mentality, and still lives in this society with the mentality of an ordinary person.
"I'll take care of everything." Summer rubbed Jessica's head.
"It's useless, I just got a call, Hope paid ten dollars to hire a female prisoner to beat her, trying to have an abortion in this way, hehe......" Jessica pushed Summer away inch by inch from her side with a little force, drunk and confused, looking at Summer with a blank eye, "Hope is dead, the female prisoner's beating behavior has attracted the attention of the other prisoners, and they can't wait to join this 'carnival'......"
Summer was stunned, his heart was mixed, for the first time, he felt what it was like to be "speechless".
"It's all my fault, I hurt her, she's just a child, but she took everything for me." A mist formed in Jessica's eyes, and she couldn't stop crying.
Summer was completely silent, gently leaned Jessica to the side of the fireplace, kicked away the wine bottles scattered on the ground at will, and slowly sat down in front of Jessica, closing her eyes. In the cellar outside the house, two bottles of vodka flew out, through the window of the dining room, around the corridor, and into the hands of Summer.
Summer opened the cap and delivered the liquor to Jessica, who couldn't wait to pour it up, the bitter and spicy liquid washing over her taste buds, and after a few seconds, she coughed violently.
Summer didn't do anything anymore, just quietly drank with her, and spirits kept flying from the cellar, Summer didn't stop her, and he was even ready to take her to the stomach lavage.
It was also at this moment that Summer became more aware that in this real and cruel world, some people need more courage to live than to die.
Why does being a superhero always have to go through all kinds of suffering? Perhaps this is what separates so-called superheroes from ordinary people......
Summer finally saw what it took for her to be a superhero, and before Jessica fell asleep, she crushed the bottle and muttered that she would spend her life helping all the ordinary people who were in trouble because of the Purple Man. If Nicole's faith is revenge, Jessica's faith is atonement. If Nicole's qualitative change was when she gave up everything and lay down on the mutant manufacturing factory test bed, then Jessica's qualitative change may be tonight.
Summer doesn't know if Jessica can be a "treasure" in the League of Defenders, so Summer just picks her up and drives to the hospital.
The night was long. (To be continued.) )
