Hearing the officer's words, Eric couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, so he asked, "You said that the 'center' is missing?" ”

The officer was pinned down by his great force, and was in great pain, and hurriedly said: "Yes, otherwise what do you think? A while ago, I don't know who was the first to release the rumor that the 'center' was long gone, and since then things have been getting more and more out of control. At first, most people only thought that it was a rumor deliberately spread by someone, but it didn't take long for everyone to find out that it seemed to be true. A large number of affairs between organizations have no one to deal with, and the relationship between the various forces is gradually unbalanced, and the contradictions are increasing day by day. At first, everyone was just arguing, but later on, when the 'center' really did not come out to regulate, the incident escalated into an armed conflict. ”

Hearing this, Eric already knew it. It turned out that this impulse from the major forces was not planning some evil plan, but simply because they had lost the constraints of unity and fought among themselves for resources and interests. Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt bored, nothing more than a group of wicked people dog-eat-dog, and there was no need to get involved.

But at the same time, he was a little curious, and the strength of his hand was a little loosened to prevent the officer from suffocating to death, and asked, "Then do you know why the 'center' is not there?" ”

The officer breathed a sigh of relief, gasped greedily, and shook his head at the same time, "I don't know." In fact, no one knows why. I've never been in direct contact with him, but I've heard that this man is very mysterious and his thinking intentions are always unpredictable, but I don't think it's surprising, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been able to bring so many tricky people together. None of us knew anything about him, and who knows why he suddenly dropped such a huge undertaking and stopped doing it? ”

"The reason is simple." One of them suddenly said from behind, "I guess I'm just bored." ”

Eric turned around and saw Brad appear behind him at some point, leaning against the wall and looking at him. Eric knocked the officer unconscious on the back of the neck and said, "Let me guess, what is the big trouble finding me?" Maybe the Galactic Council has finally decided to send someone to wipe me out? ”

"You're saying like every time I show up, it's accompanied by big trouble." Brad shrugged.

"Isn't it?"

"Can't I talk to new friends, after all, you know, I don't have any old friends left." Brad looked around and said, "I guess we'd better move somewhere else." ”

Eric nodded, and the two of them rose into the air one after the other. Both of them were extremely fast, and they suddenly disappeared into the clouds, and in a blink of an eye, they had left the island far behind. Eric left a message for Aegis, gave them the coordinates, and asked them to clean up the mess on their own, believing that they wouldn't mind his early departure.

Brad could have been faster, but he deliberately suppressed a little so that Eric could catch up. But despite this, the two of them crossed the ocean in only about ten minutes, reached the nearest city along the coast, and landed on the top floor of the tallest building in the city. Connected to the blue sky and the blue horizon in the distance, the view is superb, and the scenery is refreshing.

Eric looked into the distance, and after a moment he sighed, "I haven't been like this in a long time. ”

"How? Fly to the roof of a coastal building to cool off? ”

"Stop and rest." "Look at the view. ”

After a pause, he asked, "Listening to what you just said, you seem to know the bishop quite well?" ”

"A little bit, I don't know very well. We've worked together. ”

Eric was surprised, "You guys? Cooperate? ”

Brad chuckled: "Although that guy is not serious on weekdays, he is not a good person, but he is also a reliable ally at critical moments, if you know him a little, you will know." ”

But Brad apparently didn't come to talk to him about the bishop. He paused slightly, his tone turned slightly dull, and said, "After that...... How are you feeling? ”

Knowing that he was referring to the decisive battle with Ivo, Eric said, "I haven't thanked you that time, you saved my life." ”

"Not necessarily." "I was only going to help you stay alive for the time being, but it didn't last long. It was your armor that really saved your own life. ”

Eric was silent. Tony had already told him about it, of course, and it wasn't entirely a good thing.

Breed said: "To be honest, I was shocked when I found out about your physical condition, even if it was the first time I had seen such a strange physical condition of yours. Physically, you and the armor have become one and the same, interdependent and inseparable as a symbiotic whole, but spiritually your bond is very unstable. While such a link can increase your reflexes and awareness in battle, it can also put your own consciousness in a very dangerous state. Even now, the virus is subtly influencing your own thinking, making you more and more inclined to assimilate with the armor consciousness......"

"I know." Eric said flatly, "I've known for a long time. ”

"You don't understand." Brad shook his head, "All you know is your past state, but now it's different. Your willpower is beyond the ordinary, and you have so far succeeded in suppressing the submojo virus with your own will. But now, it has become one with you and a part of yourself. In other words, you are fighting against yourself with your own will. ”

Eric was stunned and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"It's as if your body is dominated by two opposing wills at the same time, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one side will decide the winner." "You may not feel anything strange now, but the next time you overconsume or suffer a strong enough shock from the outside world, the root of the problem will be exposed. ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "At that time, you will really die." Unlike in the past, it is the result of your confrontation with yourself, and it is only a normal death from the perspective of life. At that time, even I couldn't pull you back again. So my suggestion, maybe try not to play with your life as much as you used to. Next time, it's really going to die. ”

Eric listened to it, but closed his eyes slightly. At this time, a gust of sea breeze was blowing in the face, with a faint fragrance in the wind, and a slight fishy smell unique to the sea. He opened his eyes, couldn't help but smile, and said lightly, "What, it's just like that, it feels no different from all the time." ”

Hearing his words, Breed's face was also relieved, and he said easily: "Yes, it's not a big deal." ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing heartily, citing each other as lifelong confidants in their hearts.
