Chapter 232: The Other Man
It's been a month since Kim absconded, and there hasn't been a single rumor about him in a month. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info That night, Eric found the base strewn with the corpses of the Hydra agents and immediately contacted Aegis, and Aegis sent someone to search the area carefully, but found nothing.
But they had a clue as to what the escaped cargo was. According to some undisclosed information from Aegis, the Hydra secretly hiding in New York Harbor appears to be the one that mysteriously disappeared on a rainy night fifteen years ago, the one that has been missing since the fight with the Omega armor that night. But after all, these are just gossip, and it is impossible to verify whether they are true or not.
All in all, the month has been peaceful. Eric was finally getting through a bit of a high school kid these days, but it was only then that he realized that the end of the semester was approaching. Unlike most students who count the number of days the summer vacation approaches on their fingers, Eric's semester has been so fulfilling that he doesn't seem to have any idea of the passage of time.
Even if the thing that escaped was really a sub-demon droid, but since the other party didn't move, Eric couldn't do much, so it was better to go to school normally and prepare for various exams.
But as everyone knows, this calm day is just a faΓ§ade, and the storm has never stopped, but it has been lurking underwater for the time being. No one on Earth may have noticed it yet, but a pair of invisible claws in the depths of the darkness have long since quietly approached, and the whole world is already in the palm of its hand without realizing it.
A weekend of calm and light-hearted sunshine, Raven woke up almost as soon as the first rays of sunlight shone through the curtains into the room, the hour hand of the alarm clock on the table had just passed the "7" position.
The culprit who woke her up was a series of tapping sounds coming from outside the window, as if someone was knocking on her window with their knuckles. Raven sat up, got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened the curtains to see Eric smiling at her through a window.
Raven opened the window, "What's wrong?" β
"Good morning." Eric greeted with a smile, "It's rare that the weather is so nice on the weekend, do you want to go on a date or something?" β
Raven paused slightly, feeling strange at his unusual behavior, but still said, "Yes...... Then you can wait for me to wash up and change my clothes a little. β
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the door."
It feels weird. Raven closed the window and thought to himself.
As a girl, Raven's movements are really one of the best. Only a quarter of an hour later, she had changed into a dark purple coat, sexy denim shorts, and black stockings and appeared at the door. I don't know when Raven started to try to change his dress style when he was out with Eric. Although it is still the main color of black, at least it is not wrapped in black from head to toe all day long, and the head is shrunk in a hood like when we first met.
"You're beautiful today." Eric was unstinging in his praise.
Raven smiled shallowly and didn't speak.
After a quick breakfast, Eric led Raven straight to the playground in Manhattan. It seems that he has made sufficient plans for today's trip, and the arrangement along the way is orderly. In the morning, they played a few bumper cars, sat in a 360-degree rotating whirlwind chair, and got on a free-fall jumping machine.
But of course, Eric is more involved in any project, and Raven is more like a tourist who comes to watch, watching quietly by Eric's side most of the time. The only time I did it was to count the bears at the end, but she gave it to a little Lori who was staring at the doll next to her, and the latter happily ran to her mother with the doll in her arms.
The morning has passed in a flash. Eric said I'd go to the toilet and buy something to eat, and Raven sat alone on the edge of the seat under a parasol and waited. With one hand on her cheeks, she looked at the young men and women screaming and cheering at some of the stimulation programs, and she was a little distracted for a while.
Eric today is indeed enthusiastic and very proactive...... No, it's a bit of an anomaly, I should say. Could it be that something happened that I didn't know was stressing him out of the way to decompress in this way?
Or is there some other reason......
She didn't notice that by the time she was wandering, Eric had quietly returned. He approached Raven from behind without saying a word, his expression grim as if he was about to drip. His steps were as light as a night cat, and he could not be heard in the noisy amusement park. Step by step, he approached the girl under the umbrella without even noticing, like a killer approaching his target.
Raven was only a few steps away, and Eric had reached behind his back as if he was about to pull something out.
"Huh? Isn't that Eric and Raven? β
Eric's face changed, and his steps paused suddenly.
Raven turned his head and noticed Eric, who was approaching, but the latter had reverted to a warm and relaxed smile. Behind him were Peter and Mary Jane, who were waving in the shade of a tree not far away.
Peter and Mary trotted over, and he said, "Ha, what a coincidence, you are also coming to the amusement park?" β
"Eric's idea." Raven said lightly.
"Ah, yes." Eric smiled, "Because the weather is exceptionally nice, I think it's a good time to come out and play." β
"My Aunt Mei happened to be not at home today, and I discussed it with Mary and felt that I should come out to breathe." Peter laughed, "Since everyone has arrived, why don't we join us?" β
Hey, annoying guy.
I thought to myself, but Eric still had that happy smile: "Okay, it's just so that everyone is more lively together." β
At the same moment, Raven was at home.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
After the doorbell rang three times in a row, ten-year-old Billy sprang out of the room, trotted through the living room, and opened the door.
Standing in the doorway was Eric.
"Ah, Sister Rachel's boyfriend!" The little one shouted.
Eric smiled, "Hello, Billy. I'm coming to your sister, is she there? β
Little Billy was stunned for a moment: "Didn't she go out with you?" β
"Who? I? β
"yes, yes." Little Billy nodded repeatedly, "Didn't I go on a date with you early in the morning?" Ah, did you her off so she ran away? β
Eric froze.
What's going on?
