"I've met quite a few bad guys. Some of them want my stuff, some want to use my technology, some try to get my body, and some even want to use my body to make money for them. At this time, Skye's voice was much calmer, but the words she said were not calm, "But every time I am very cautious, and every time I prepare a backup plan, so, I am here in good condition." β
It's hard to imagine how this girl who has never seen her parents since she was a child, has no fixed home, and has been abandoned several times. What's even more rare is that this girl is still optimistic and strong after those experiences.
Just when Grant's heart was full of admiration for Skye, the girl suddenly screamed, startling him.
"Ah, my minivan!"
I saw her come outside the car and look around the whole car. When she saw the bullet holes on the body, she screamed again, and her face was full of chagrin: "I have only bought this car for three months, and now I ...... Alas! β
Grant couldn't laugh or cry. It's been almost a whole day since the car was hit, and your reflex arc is so long!
It's just that Skye's next sentence made him unable to laugh.
"Why is life always so bad?" There was no crying in his voice, but anyone could hear the loneliness, "Or is it just me." I just wanted to find my belonging, but I got one blow after another, not even a turning point......"
It turns out that Skye is not really that strong.
"Your turning point is here."
Hearing this, Skye also temporarily came out of his state of self-pity: "What? β
"I mean, meeting me was your turning point."
Grinning, Grant said. Then, he reached out to pull Sky, who was squatting on the ground, up: "I'll pay you a new car." β
Hearing this, without Grant's force, Skye bounced up at once. You could see that she was a little uneasy.
"There is no need for this, this kind of damage can be repaired casually. Besides, it's not your fault at all. Plus, I owe you a cell phone. β
"But you saved me twice."
"Twice?"
"Yes, twice." Grant still had a warm smile on his face, "The first time was when I fell from the sky and fainted, and the second time was yesterday. If it weren't for your minivan, I guess I'd be taken away by those guys. So don't refuse, my life won't be worth that money, and twice. β
At this moment, Skye thought of something and asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were on the run?" Aren't you afraid that those people will find out your location by tracing your bank account? β
"You don't have to go to the bank, you don't have to go to the ATM, you don't even have to swipe your card. I can pay in cash. β
"Wow, I can't tell you're still a big guy, and you carry tens of thousands of dollars in cash with you." At this time, Skye also laughed, "Or what kind of new car are you going to pay me for, an electric balance bike or a bicycle?" Man, can you tell me how to sleep in a bike? β
"Your smile is beautiful, don't hide it."
Grant said suddenly. Before Skye became shy, he continued: "I told Mr. Lydon that I was in charge of the government. government work. If you change the tense to the past tense, it is not a joke. I used to be an agent. People like us will set up lockers in many places that only we know about, and there are cash, identification and other things in case of emergency. So, of course, I wouldn't have tens of thousands of dollars in cash with me, but I could get that money. β
Skye is a long way to go. But after digesting it, she shook her head.
"Maybe you think I'm in a bad situation right now, and I want to help me, but I think it's okay. I can get through it. Thank you for your help, but please allow me to decline. Skye's attitude was firm, "I'm more curious about which organization you worked in before. FBIοΌ cIaοΌ nsaοΌ Wait, you're not going to be from S.H.I.E.L.D., are you? I ......"
"Of course I'm not taking pity on you. I said, you saved me twice. β
Grant, who was full of embarrassment, quickly interrupted her. Although it doesn't matter if Skye knows that he was once a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, anyway, it's just a past, and he can hide it at any time. It's just that in that case, Skye will definitely have bad thoughts. Her whole life has been spent abandoned, disliked, and ignored, and it is not easy to grow to such optimism now. There was no need to make her situation any more difficult.
"But since you don't accept my reward, I respect your decision." Grant continued, "Then let's do it another way. You said there were bad guys who wanted to take advantage of your technology, and I was going to be the bad guys. Remember when I said yesterday that I would ask you for a favor, and that the new car would be a reward. β
Grant suddenly noticed that Skye had been staring at him. And when he was about to catch the other person's gaze, the other party moved away.
"I can do you a favor as compensation for your phone. But with the new car, that's definitely not going to happen. Even if you buy it secretly, I won't accept it. β
"You're a super stubborn person, you know?" Grant said angrily, "And what about the sacrifice you made to save me?" How can I compensate for the shock, the energy and time you spent, and the broken minivan? β
"You brought me a friend. For me with that experience, that's enough, more precious than ten new cars. Skye smiled again, smiling better than before, "Alright, that's the end of the conversation. Tell me how you need my help. β
"I'd like to ask you to help erase my former identity."
Hearing this, Skye frowned: "Let's not talk about how many identities you have in public, even if I erase them all, the organization you used to be in will not be fooled." Besides, even if I can successfully hack into that organization's database and then find your file and delete it, there is no guarantee that that organization will not have a paper backup. β
"So I also need you to create a new identity for me in public." Grant said, "There is no need for the organization to forget about my existence, as long as my new identity is not known to them." Therefore, the new identity must be very perfect, such as driver's license, occupation, family relationships, etc., and even Twitter, library card, traffic violation record, etc. It's a huge project, can you? β
"Absolutely!"
Suspicious, Skye replied unconvinced. Then, the corners of her mouth hooked a mischievous arc: "Of course, the new identity needs a new face, are you sure you don't need to go for a facelift?" There are quite a few places in the U.S., but I think South Korea is more suitable for you. β
