Chapter 8 Coffee

It rained heavily for a day and a night, and it seemed to have finally stopped a little. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoA silent drizzle flows down the alloy frame of the modern city, like a steel dragon bathed.

"We still don't know anything about the incident in the police station, except that several officers have been seriously injured or even killed in this incident, but the officials refused to disclose any information about the situation before the press conference. Our reporters were also not allowed to interview injured police officers. But according to a person familiar with the matter, there seems to be a soldier wearing a similar steel suit at the scene, and our reporter has already interviewed Tony Stark, who is better known as Iron Man, but the latter also said that it has nothing to do with the incident......"

In every television set in the glass window of the roadside, the beautiful female announcer recounts the traces of last night's nightmare in clear words. Wearing a thick padded jacket, Eric subconsciously fastened his dark blue hood as he walked past the window.

"I've been restless these days, do you think you're a guy?" An old man staring at the TV in the window said, "In our time, people are worried about food and clothing, but there is no such fanciful thing...... Do you believe this is true? ”

Eric realized that he was talking to him, and shook his head politely.

"No, I don't think so...... That sounds ridiculous. ”

yes, that's ridiculous, he said to himself in his heart.

He bought a new padded jacket from a roadside clothing store two blocks away, and put the tag on his body before it was torn. He had chosen the largest jacket so that he could hide the backpack that his armor had transformed. Fortunately, it is not very large after being transformed, like a thick disc, and no one will notice it if you don't pay attention. Although it is quite inappropriate for a skinny teenager to be wrapped in such a large padded jacket, it is better than running around with this shiny backpack.

In previous battles, he had confirmed that this suit of armor could simulate the super speed of the Flash, which confirmed his suspicion that this suit of armor could switch modes, and according to the display on the mode list, it seemed that it could also simulate the abilities of several other elders of the Justice League. Of course, it's just simulating the same ability, and in terms of super speed just now, it can't be compared to the deity in terms of strength, but it's already a very remarkable technique.

Eric flashed back for a moment, remembering that in the original game there was a nanobot named "Amodrone" with similar abilities, but that robot copied their superpowers while battling the members of the Justice League. And according to his current understanding of the world, superheroes have just started, the Justice League has not yet taken shape, and the sub-demon machine that has copied the abilities of all their members should not have been born yet, so how did this armor system develop?

However, if he continues to think about it, it will not lead to anything, including what his parents did and why they gave him this armor, which is still to be investigated.

His thoughts returned to reality, and when he stopped, he had unconsciously wandered down a familiar neighborhood to the door of Amir's Cafe, his favorite café.

He went to boarding school, where most of his classmates would go home every weekend, and he would come here on the last day of the week on his vacation, order a caramel latte, and sit for an afternoon.

Sometimes there was a beautiful brunette girl in the seat opposite him, and it was Kelly Samir who came out with him to discuss club activities. There was hot coffee in front of her, the thick fog shrouded the girl's long hair drooping like a waterfall, her beautiful calves with her boots crossed, and the setting sun shining on her fair cheeks, which was indeed beautiful at times......

Eric sat in the same position, alone with a caramel latte.

The girl threw her handbag on the couch in front of the table and sat down without saying a word. She beckoned to the waiter and asked for a latte as well.

"It's cold outside." Kelly Samir took off her black plush gloves and rubbed her hands together, "You really scared me to death yesterday, but I'm glad you're okay...... Mind telling me what happened to you? ”

Eric was a little surprised: "You know I'm here? ”

"I don't know." Kelly shook her head, "But you come here every weekend, don't you?" ”

It dawned on Eric that it was the last day of the week.

"Tell me, what's going on?" She frowned and asked, "Those men in suits are like they came out of The Matrix, how did you get into this kind of guy?" ”

"This ...... It's a long story. ”

"Movie actors generally like to pretend to be mysterious." She smiled and took the coffee from the waiter next to her, "But today is the weekend, and I have time." ”

"I don't know either...... But it seems to be about my parents. Eric pondered for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth, "I probably won't be going back for a while...... Go back to school. I had to figure these things out. ”

"Is it because of your parents?" Kelly said, "You said you barely saw them since you were a kid, right?" I hate my dad a lot, especially lately, as if he doesn't like me for anything. For example, working in a restaurant, he said that he would not do it, and I would go anyway. ”

She said with a little pride, like a gambling little princess.

Some people say that man is a dam that needs to be discharged regularly, and if things are stuffy too much in the heart, it is easy to deteriorate. Kelly always likes to confide in him about his worries at home and school, and he sometimes brings up his worries with her.

But she had a point. Why are you so persistent? His father and mother have mysteriously disappeared since giving birth to him, as if they had completely forgotten him as a person, and for so many years they have been carrying out some great project, but the project has not brought back any fame or money, and the first thing they brought back is a bunch of crazy people with guns who want him to die.

But even so, they are Eric's parents, the only parents.

Maybe he couldn't understand his position as someone else, but he just felt as if an important piece of his life was missing, even if God assigned him the most ridiculous couple in the world, it was his only parents.

This is the opportunity that the second life gives him, and he must grasp it.

"Thank you for being there, Kelly." Eric smiled and got up, "But I probably won't be back for coffee for a while...... This one is mine. ”

Kelly watched in amazement as the boy left the cash and got up to leave her seat.

He pushed open the door and stepped back into the rain, covering his head with a thick hood.

"Wait."

Eric paused. He turned his head and saw the girl chasing after her in the rain, her rain-soaked hair clinging to her fair forehead, but she didn't realize it, and trotted all the way to catch up.

"You're always alone, always refusing anyone to come close to you, but people always need to support each other." She took Eric's hand and stared at him earnestly with her smart emerald green eyes, "Let me help you." ”

For a moment, Eric felt that the girl's eyes were so firm and clear that he couldn't say a simple "no".

(P.S. This woman is not the heroine, and the heroine of this book does not plan to be original XD)
