Chapter 40: The Two-Colored Pupil
ββ¦β¦ Currently, the perpetrator of the JFK airport attack, a 37-year-old man, Andy Brown. Keane has been arrested, and the Joint Defense Command and CBI are conducting further joint investigations to determine if there were other accomplices or masterminds behind the attack, and whether the attack was linked to the ACA...... Throughout the arrest, the New York Joint Defense Command was unimaginably efficient and eye-catching, but critics pointed out that the Joint Defense Command's excessive authority was still a potential danger......

In the afternoon, the park is still shrouded in warm sunlight, and compared to the noisy rest days, there are only scattered people scattered in all corners of the park, with a simple lunch, enjoying the brief tranquility of the lunch break.
The only fly in the ointment is that when some people with irresistible physiological needs come to the public toilet in the park, they find a notice that the water pipe has burst to stop using, but fortunately there is another public toilet not far from the park.
For most people, it's not even a life episode, except if they break down the door and see a boy standing in front of a sink with blood on his hands.
Ethan lowered his head, the hat of the pizzeria where he worked was casually thrown on the floor of the toilet, and the icy water was scattered in the pool, fainting the blood dripping from his hands little by little.
The boy raised his head slowly, and the boy's pupils were reflected in the mirror that had cracked into the shape of irregular petals in the center.
One black and one brown.
"Why...... Why did you promise him, you know ......"
I'm just protecting you, dear Ethan.
A voice sounded in Ethan's head, and even though it had been repeated many times, the boy could not get used to it, and he subconsciously glanced around. But nothing.
You have to understand, Ethan, that all you have right now is your room, your friends, and even the people you like. You're a spy, and that can't change, and they're always ready to take your share and knock you back to where you were when they wanted to.
"I understand! I know!! β
Ethan slammed his head against the glass in front of him, the boy holding a sharp dagger in his left hand and the blade in his right hand, and the blood splattered on the edge of the sink where the faucet could not reach.
"But...... But...... That's her. That's her...... That's Herris! I can't make such a betrayal! β
Giving the drone authorization code to the ACA is not a betrayal.
The hollow voice seemed to have a playful tone, mocking Ethan, who was almost crying.
This drone authorization code comes from Herris's own loophole, she is too focused on helping Ling Yu, she will make this kind of mistake, anyone who has the heart can get the authorization code within these twenty-four hours, she will not suspect you.
"But ......"
Ethan removed his head from the glass of the shattered mirror. Then he closed his eyes.
Ethan gets Herris's drone authorization code, which is a completely unintentional event. Because under normal circumstances, Helis will never recover a drone after it is damaged due to a malfunction, and not even destroy the hard disk in time.
As if by a godsend, Ethan spotted the drone, in a state of personality with black pupils. The authorization code of the drone was extracted, and as long as this authorization code was obtained, anyone could turn off the drone of Helis in a certain area at will.
As she herself said, no system is safe, because any system will eventually return to the people themselves. And people are the biggest insecurity.
Several princesses are also human beings, and human beings make mistakes, and the continuous invasion of various difficult firewalls has made Helis extremely tired, so that he did not notice this small malfunction alarm.
Or, she subconsciously thinks that the drones used to monitor MIT areas won't be detected, at least not until next Wednesday.
Regardless, Ethan gets the security code, but apparently, the boy's two different personalities disagree on how to handle the security code.
Nothing, Ethan, you have to prove your worth, and only if you let the bosses behind the scenes understand your worth, they won't throw you away like an outcast, and you will be able to continue to live your current life, and even continue to approach Herris...... If they think you're useless...... You understand what I'm talking about.
Ethan didn't speak, his lips twitched, I don't know if it was subconscious, or if he wanted to refute but couldn't find the words.
Think about it, I've already helped you destroy a qiΔ evidence that you picked up a drone, no one will suspect you, on the other hand, this can even be your chance to get closer to Herris, think about it, as long as you continue to go deeper into the ACA's system, one day you will become their irreplaceable ace spy, access to amazing intelligence information, at that time, not only will the ACA not dare to touch you, but you can betray the ACA, so that you can take the blame and get Herris's forgiveness.
You are already standing on the tip of the knife, don't have any illusions, listen to me, only I care about you the most, only I know you best, only I can give you what you want...... Because I am you.
"Alright, alright, I got it!!"
Ethan shouted angrily, and he plunged the dagger in his left hand directly into the wall in front of him, and the sharp Reykjavik alloy dagger pierced directly through the brick wall.
"I'll listen to your boss, now get out of me, get out of my body!!"
As you wish.
Ethan lowered his head, snorted in pain, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had turned clean brown.
Sharp pain came from his palm, and he looked at the slit cut by the dagger, revealing a painful look, but not because of the pain.
"He" was right, and Ethan had to admit it.
The identity of the ACA spy has always been Ethan's biggest nightmare, and no matter how naΓ―ve he is, he understands one thing, that is, Helis will never forgive himself when he knows about this qiΔ.
That's the ACA, after all. Ethan understands Jeunyse's place in Helis's heart, so this is the only thing he must not let Helis know.
But can you keep it a secret forever?
Or, as he said, use the ACA and eventually whitewash?
"Buzzβ"
Just when Ethan was overwhelmed. His phone rang suddenly.
The boy subconsciously picked up the phone with his uninjured left hand, which was a call from the owner of the pizzeria.
"Oh, boss, I'm fine, I just accidentally fell and broke my hand, and I dealt with it so I was late to go back."
"No, you don't have to go to the hospital, it's okay. I can handle it myself. β
"Well, I'll be right back now, and I'll be there in ten minutes."
Ethan put down the phone, took a deep breath, opened the first aid kit on the wall of the toilet, took out a roll of bandages, and casually wrapped it around his hand.
It took the boy five minutes to expertly dispose of his own blood stains and fingerprints with the techniques taught by the cavalry. Glancing at the broken mirror, there was no expression. Turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
He stepped on the electric car and twisted the handlebars with his head down, the sun was still warm, but it had nothing to do with Ethan.
Because he knew that winter was coming.

"How does it feel?"
Just as Ethan stepped onto the electric car and disappeared around the corner. In the open-air garden of a restaurant in the distance, Logan. Craig put down his high-magnification camera, which was used as a telescope, and spoke to Charlotte, who was poking cherry tomatoes in the half-eaten Caesar salad plate in front of him with a fork.
"How does it feel?"
Charlotte, dressed in a white suit for a working woman, looked up and reached for her long red hair. Be all abroad.
"We've been here for almost a week, but you still look patient." Rogan picked up a glass of beer in front of him and took a sip, "I thought you'd be more impatient." β
"I'm with you, why should I feel impatient?" Charlotte blinked, knowingly, as she stared at Logan's pupils, eventually causing Logan to turn his head away from hers.
"Well, if you want me to ask...... I really have such a question. Charlotte turned her head and took a copy of the League Times on the table.
JFK Airport Attacked by Unidentified TF, Front Page, Headlines.
"Do you think this matter will have anything to do with Ling Yu?" Charlotte pointed to the news with an outstretched finger.
"Not before, but now there is." Logan was silent for a moment, "Ling Yu must have arrived near New York State in the past few days, and he will definitely investigate this matter independently." β
"That's not very rational, I mean Ling Yu," Charlotte took her fork and pierced the last cherry tomato, "It's hard to see what this has to do with Charl. β
"Two whatever." Logan stretched out two fingers, "According to the report you got from Kronos Company on Ling Yu in the past year, I can see these two points. β
"All the TFs that make trouble must be related to the ACA, and all the TFs related to the ACA must be able to trace Char."
ββ¦β¦ Is his psychological condition really okay? Charlotte frowned, "Considering the responsibility on his shoulders......"
"There is a problem, but we can't do anything and are not obligated to do it." Logan took a tissue and wiped his hands, "It's better that we jumped out of his field of vision, which is the best complement for him, such as when they were all concentrating on JFK Airport, only we were aware of the change in this knight boy." β
"Indeed." Charlotte nodded, they didn't monitor Ethan twenty-four hours a day, so they didn't know that Ethan had picked up the drone, but they still found some abnormal places, such as Ethan's sudden disappearance in the afternoon and the bandage on his right hand, although they had no evidence to prove that Ethan actually had any abnormal movements towards Herris or Ling Yu and others, but there were too many unnatural places, and it was indeed worth continuing to observe.
"However, do you think Ling Yu will attend Helis's prom on time?" Charlotte sighed and shook her head, "Or will you keep tracking it down, regardless of it, and miss everything?" β
"To be honest, I don't know." Logan spread his hands and shook his head, "So we can keep an eye on Helis, and if Helis is going to get out of here, let's just keep up." β
"But I have a hunch that Ling Yu will definitely come back at any cost."
Logan paused, then added.
"Even he may not realize that Helis is a special being, and not just because it has to do with Jesse, if anyone can change him, it must be Helis."
"Are you looking forward to that?" Charlotte raised her eyebrows, "Actually, I've always felt that he might need an old punch from a friend more than a gentle girl." β
"People don't feel pain when they get beaten too much, and I have to cherish the opportunity for me to punch." Rogan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "But I said, we are not obligated to do this, we were naΓ―ve, and now, we are paying for it, we are all the same." β
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry. β
Charlotte lowered her eyelids and whispered, but there seemed to be something else in her tone besides the remembrance of the deceased.
"These things have nothing to do with you, Major Cromwell." Logan spoke lightly, then pulled out a few notes and placed them on the table.
"Let's go, I think we might need to do some preparation as well."
"Before the storm is complete." (To be continued......)
