Chapter 260: Induction
Midtown High School, New York. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Justice League has been initially established, and several elders have begun to discuss some rules and regulations related to the Alliance. However, although Eric said that he did not want to join, after discussion, everyone still left him a "reserve" position, which is probably similar to the status of honorary member, because in any case, he played a vital role in the first battle of the alliance.
However, the Justice League's next daily meetings and some odd tasks Eric still didn't plan to attend, saying that unless the world was destroyed, he would not be interested in those trivial tasks at all. It may seem like an exaggeration, but in fact, there are many such opportunities in this crazy world.
Since then, another half a month has passed, and the Toskrul people are blessed that the final exams of high school have been postponed a lot, which may be a good thing for students. But to be honest, the content in the high school textbook is really not difficult, Eric is already familiar with it, and Raven is a well-known student in her class.
The afterglow of this weekend evening seemed to be particularly gorgeous, and the two of them walked leisurely on their way home with their bags on their backs. As he passed a lake, Raven stopped looking at the gorgeous surface of the lake, which was adorned with golden light. The sparkling surface of the water, with a fiery sunset hanging in the sky underwater, the scenery is charming and makes people feel comfortable and relaxed from the bottom of their hearts.
"Really...... I still can't believe it. Raven spoke softly, his snow-white face flushed by the sunset, "I even have the opportunity to watch the sunset leisurely like this." β
Eric walked up behind her: "It's a matter of course, this kind of scenery is suitable for beautiful you." β
Raven smiled lightly: "Thank you." β
"Uh...... Don't say such strange things all of a sudden. Eric scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Well, it's time to discuss what to eat for the night." How about grilling fish? β
"Yes." Raven nodded, in fact, she would answer no matter what Eric said.
"I'm happy, but ...... You should have your own opinion once in a while, right? So you haven't even mentioned it once, what you like to eat. β
Raven tilted his head and thought, "I really don't have anything I really like, but if I have to say it...... It's a vegetarian bar. β
"Okay, then it's decided. There seems to be a vegetarian restaurant in Brooklyn with a good rating, so let's go there for dinner today! β
They talked and walked all the way, and before they knew it, the last sunset had also fallen, and the night had fallen quietly. The atmosphere so far has been quite good, light and relaxed. Although both understand that this is just a temporary pause in their fast-paced lives, and they can't stay here forever, it's because of this that time like this is all the more precious.
The moment he walked through the trail and entered the corner of the main road, Eric's steps jerked, and his face became a little strange.
Raven realized the change in him, and also stopped, asking, "What's wrong?" β
"No, it's just ......" Eric frowned as if he was thinking about something for a moment, and then said with some hesitation, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to do something, so I'm sorry, but I may ...... tonight"
"I'm fine." Raven smiled and shook his head, "If you have something, go ahead." β
Eric was a little surprised, he thought at least Raven would ask for details.
Seeming to see his doubts, Raven smiled: "Since it's what you said you were going to do, you must have your own reasons if you don't want to tell me." β
Eric's heart warmed slightly, and now she really trusted herself unconditionally. He reached out and touched Raven's head, saying, "I'm sorry, let's put the vegetarian dinner until next time." β
"Well, you should be careful, too."
She watched Eric walk away, only to turn around when his back had completely disappeared, and slowly walked in the direction of home.
Sure enough, she was still lying when she said she didn't care at all, and she was indeed a little disappointed in her heart.
Eric actually knew that Raven was looking forward to dinner today, but he really couldn't help itβhe had to make sure. In the moment of the lightning just now, an inexplicable throbbing rushed into his mind, as if it had stirred a string in the bottom of his heart. He was familiar with the feeling, the last time he had it was during the outbreak of the Amozo virus, as if he had recognized his own kind.
There was no doubt that it was the reaction of the sub-Mordron virus, and it felt like someone somewhere had suddenly landed on the network of the sub-Morjo virus, and Eric sensed it in an instant.
After the large-scale outbreak of the sub-Mordral virus, although New York added a small number of superpowers infected with the virus, their viruses were still in a similar incubation period, not enough for Eric to detect. The virus carriers that he could sense now were either the Omega armor or the Armozhuo robot whose whereabouts were still unknown, and either one of them Eric had to go and confirm it for himself.
The distance seemed a bit far, so Eric made a trip home and got on his modified motorcycle. He was like a hound, sniffing and stalking, chasing the sense of incongruity that haunted him.
The modified locomotive had crossed almost all of Manhattan, and the sky had gone completely dark. The colorful landscape flies over the sides of the high-speed motorcycle, as if it has been elongated and abstracted.
The motorcycle chased all the way to New Jersey to a remote industrial area. It was at this moment that the strange feeling vanished, like the scent that guided the hounds to dissipate suddenly.
Eric stopped the car and looked around. This area is lined with various factory buildings, and the tall black silhouettes resemble cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods hidden in the night, surrounding it with a chill of the forest. There is not a single star in the sky tonight, and the color is also hidden by thick clouds, and the black and oppressive sky is like a pitch-black curtain, vast and boundless.
Eric thought for a while, and then found a random direction to move on. Just before this sub-demonic aura dissipated, he seemed to have a faint sense that it was coming from this direction.
And soon, the development of events proved that he seemed to be right.
The black sedan sprang out of the shadows like a weasel, stopping ahead with the screeching sound of tires. Eric squeezed the brakes, turned sideways and braked, cautiously looking at the car, which had clearly come out of his way to stop in front of him.
The door opened, and the men in black suits stepped out of the car, which almost became the standard for the identity of the spy. The person who walked down from the front seat did he know - Agent Coulson of Aegis, who was also a figure with a head and a face in the original work.
"I'm sorry, kid." Coulson spoke to him in a businesslike tone, "But the area ahead is a government secret, and you weren't authorized to enter. β
