"No, it's not a love story, I didn't mean that......"

Originally, Grant was going to explain it. It's just that now Skye is obviously in a state of deep shyness, and he doesn't care about what he says at all, so he can only give up. At the same time, she also gave up her intention to tell her speculation.

I was a little hesitant before, but now I am more determined. After all, Skye's heart is obviously not mature enough, and speaking out may hurt her. Besides, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't give up the idea of looking for her background. And although S.H.I.E.L.D. has a lot of secrets inside, most of them exist for a reason, and Grant doesn't believe that it will spend that spare money to erase everything about a child for no reason, even if this child has superhuman potential. He could foresee that one day in the future Risky would come face to face with S.H.I.E.L.D. For Skye's sake, the later the better, of course.

Therefore, Grant pretended to be annoyed and pitiful.

"Well, it's the first time I've felt this way, so it's a bit of a gaffe. But since ...... That's it. ”

Skye lived up to Grant's opinion of her, and the kindness was a bit excessive.

"It's not that I hate you. You are a very charismatic person, there is no doubt about it. It's just that...... Actually, I have a little bit of a crush on you, especially when you save me during the day, and I have to admit that I'm still thrilled. It's just that I have a boyfriend...... Although more like friends of the opposite sex who support each other in a difficult life, ......"

After speaking incoherently, she couldn't speak anymore, and her face became redder and redder the more she spoke.

Faced with this situation, Grant didn't know what to say. Say "very sad", I guess the atmosphere will be even worse; Saying "I don't care" will only make Skye blame herself more. Therefore, neither of them spoke. Only the crackling sound of firewood was left at the scene, which was very embarrassing.

Just as Grant finally came up with a topic that he estimated to be able to talk about for a long time, and was about to ask Skye about superheroes and Team America, she spoke first.

"Let's talk about your superpowers. From today's crazy experience, I know that its defense is good. And what about the attack? ”

Although Skye tried hard to pretend to be excited, Grant could easily spot that she was hiding something. This girl is still blaming herself! But since she brought up a new topic, he was happy to pick it up.

"I can use it to destroy a wall, and I can also build a big energy arm to grab enemies. I can condense a lot of tools, and I can't do it if it's too fine. Also, what are the characteristics of this energy? Like fire burning, ice freezing and so on. It's just that I never found out. ”

Skye was already interested in this kind of thing, but at this time, he was fascinated by it, and he forgot about the previous embarrassment. She thought for a moment, and then said in an old-fashioned manner: "I can't see how rusty it is." But if that's what you say, you should do some research. ”

As a result, Grant laughed when he heard this. Among them, there is a slight complaint that she doesn't know how to pretend to understand, but more of it is self-deprecation of her own situation.

"I also hope to develop and exercise my abilities in a high-end enough laboratory and training ground under the guidance of top researchers. Needless to say, this is something to think about. To make matters worse, I didn't have much time, and it took me most of my energy just to escape the hunt. ”

Don't expect Skye, a girl who has not been involved in the world, to do anything about this, as Grant can tell from the nonsensical nickname she gives herself. However, Skye's words are not completely meaningless, at least this sentence is enough to cause Grant to think deeply.

"The last time you said your superpowers were due to an experimental accident, was the object of the experiment the thing in your chest?"

Grant was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at his chest. There is a very ordinary pendant hanging there, a bit like a Chinese jade pendant. Grant didn't know if it would be a bit far-fetched to say that it was a jade pendant - there was a round hole in the middle of a piece of disc. He once checked it idlely, it should be a safety buckle, which is the most traditional and ordinary ornament in Chinese history.

What's really special is the material. Grant had asked his fellow researcher for help, but couldn't find the same substance, or even just a similar substance. It has the color of jadeite, but to the touch it has the texture of wood. Fortunately, he invited his friend, otherwise this peace buckle would have gone and there would be no return.

Of course, the object of the experiment is not this safety buckle, but the cosmic Rubik's cube mentioned before. According to the information inherited by S.H.I.E.L.D. from its predecessor, the Strategic Science Department, as well as some records after the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Cosmic Cube is a "sacred object" found by the Red Skull in Norway during World War II. Using it, Red Skull and his hench, Dr. Zola, have created a number of deadly weapons. These weapons, after hitting the human body, will "disintegrate" the person. Later, Team America defeated the Red Skull, and the Rubik's Cube sank to the bottom of the sea, where it was discovered by Howard Stark, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was searching for the missing Team American. Since then, the Cosmic Cube has been in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

That's all Grant can see. Although there is not much information, one of the points is related to his current situation. Back then, Hydra was able to use the energy of the Rubik's Cube to kill the soldiers of the Allied army, why did it send him energy instead of Grant's body? No, it's not as simple as sending energy, but directly sending him a superpower! He doesn't think there's anything special about his body, and he doesn't think he has the ultimate qualities of Team America.

Now Grant has an idea about this unsolved mystery that has haunted him since the beginning of his escape. To test this idea, he needs to ask Skye about it.

"Skye, do you see anything?"

Skye was wondering why Grant had such a big reaction. Seeing him ask herself, she had to temporarily suppress the curiosity in her heart.

"It's the time before when you fell from the sky and fainted. I was playing with my phone in the carriage when I caught a glimpse of a blue glow on your chest. When I walked in and looked, I saw that it was the energy that poured out of your chest, into the thing, and then out of the thing, spread all over your body, and enveloped you. By the way, I took a picture at the time, wait a minute. ”

Then Grant saw himself who was all blue at that time, and also saw the picture of the energy spreading throughout his body through the safety buckle. Now he was more than half sure......

The mysterious material of the safety buckle is the main reason why he did not die when he was exposed to the energy of the cosmic Rubik's Cube, but obtained a superpower!

So, when he was in the restaurant today, the other party didn't shoot himself in the head, but threw a shock bomb in, not because he was sitting by the pillar, but because he couldn't kill him? If that organization wanted to know the reason, it would really be able to give such an order!

Well, one problem has not really been solved, and another question has surfaced - does Ping An Buckle have anything to do with the Rubik's Cube of the Universe? It's just that I can't start if I want to check it now.

After briefly talking to Skye, there was another question in front of the two of them.

"Miss Skye, how are we going to rest tonight?"

Then Skye was shy again.

(PS: Is it considered dead to be hit by a Rubik's Cube weapon in "Team America 1"?) If it's dead, what kind of death is it? Did the Red Skull end up teleporting away? I don't know any of these questions, so I'm trying not to talk about them in this chapter...... ）
