Chapter 9: The Little Clever Ghost
When I looked back, I found that it was a "homeless man" with dirty hair, ragged clothes, and blood spots on his face.
She stepped forward quickly, and the smell on her body was like a mixture of sweat and food, which made the pedestrian's brow lock and automatically avoid it.
"You're... Pera? β
Looking at the poor woman in front of him, Arthur thought for a long time before he overlapped her with the appearance in his memory.
"Can you help us?"
Pera's eyes were full of anticipation, and her hands tugged at the tail of her clothes, and her heart was uneasy.
She was afraid of being rejected by Arthur: "Please." β
"What are you doing here, and you're making such a mess of yourself." Avoiding the topic, Arthur asked rhetorically.
Pera has a similar experience to him, being a test subject in a psychiatric hospital captured by the Walter Syndicate, and has the ability to control the land.
Don't look at how high her strength is, but in fact, she, like most people who inject compound five, is accompanied by severe headaches when using this power.
"As we were escaping, we met the Jupiter hunters. Sean, in order to protect me, was severely injured by him. β
After repeatedly confirming that there were no suspicious people around, Pera spoke very quickly and succinctly: "I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I didn't dare to take him to the hospital." β
"Please. Please save him. β
Sean is her own brother, and when she was taken to a psychiatric hospital, Storm Girl told her that as long as she was willing to cooperate with the treatment, she would recover and be discharged from the hospital sooner or later, return home, and live with Sean.
As everyone knows, Sean was also arrested at the same time, using the same method of appeasement.
One of the two siblings is on the second floor and the other is on the third floor.
It wasn't until he was released by Arthur a few days ago and fled that he met unexpectedly.
Arthur saw through this level of lie at a glance, it was not that she didn't dare to go to the hospital, but she didn't have the money to go to the hospital.
After all, in this world, this place, money is everything.
"I don't have any reason to save your brother, I have more important things to do now."
Open the backseat door, take out the makeshift medical kit from inside, and place it on the ground: "There may be something you want in here." β
Close the door, open the main driver's door, and enter the car. Pera was devastated and tears glistened in the corners of her eyes.
She took two steps forward and tried to lean against the window, forcing Arthur to stay.
"Get out of here." Turning his head sharply, Arthur gritted his teeth and threatened, his eyes swelling with red light.
Pera was frightened, her body trembled, and she didn't dare to continue to step forward, so she could only watch the car leave in front of her.
Frankie sat in the passenger seat, constantly looking back. I want to save but I don't dare to save it.
He understood Arthur's approach, and the long pain was better than the short one.
They've gone all-out war on Vought, they've reached out to the Super Seven.
That kid can't be implicated in this.
Even though she was hunted by the Jupiter hunters.
But it's better than being hunted down by the Motherland, at least they can escape.
As she watched the car turn onto the main road, Pera wiped tears from her eyes and tried to keep herself calm. She is her brother's only hope.
Picking up the medical kit on the ground, he ran down the alley barefoot.
It's better to have than nothing.
β¦β¦
Rochester.
Outside a small cabin, a tall man draped in the Star-Spangled Banner, his blonde hair combed back with meticulous care.
Stepping on the soft ground covered with ginkgo biloba leaves, breathing in the fresh air after the rain and the sunny sky, the man's face was filled with a happy smile.
"Come on, dear. Throw the ball over. β
Clapping his hands lightly, he hooked his hands to signal the boy opposite to throw the baseball in his hand towards him.
The boy, who has lived in a remote area since he was a child and was restricted by his mother, was full of inferiority complex and cowardice.
Looking at this father with all kinds of magical superpowers in the distance, Ryan was not disgusted.
It's just that some are not used to it, and they are restrained.
Throwing a baseball hard, the motherland caught it at will, exclaiming: "Very good throw, do it again." β
Throw the baseball upwards and over the canopy in a graceful arc. Ryan's gaze moves as the baseball moves.
Suddenly, one of them didn't pay attention, stepped on a branch, and fell to the ground.
The baseball fell not far away.
The people of the motherland were helpless and did not come forward to care.
He didn't want Ryan to be a coward. He's going to train Ryan and encourage Ryan.
Let him be a strong, great "hero".
"Dad, I don't want to play anymore."
Ryan frowned, a hint of plea in his voice.
"Uh..." the motherland was stunned for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Of course, of course." β
Stepped forward to pick up a baseball that fell in the leaves, and as his eyes shifted, the Motherland found a relatively thick tree.
A punch pierced, put in the baseball, returned to Ryan's side, pressed his hands lightly on his young shoulders, and whispered: "Why don't we take advantage of this time to train your superpowers." β
It is said to be a discussion, but the tone is full of unquestionable.
Ryan nodded obediently: "What am I going to do?" β
"It's simple." Pointing to the baseball in the hollow of the tree, the Motherland gently explained: "Concentration is as simple as eating and drinking." β
With a slightly hideous expression and clenched teeth, Ryan stared at the baseball without any change.
"Go on, you can, that's it, don't give up." Retracting his hands and putting them behind his back, the Motherland leaned over and encouraged him again in his ear.
"Try harder, you can."
For a long time, Ryan was deflated and kept shaking his head.
Seeing this, the people of the motherland patiently comforted: "Hey, it's okay, you will definitely be able to in the future." I wouldn't be at first. β
"We have a lot of time."
"Really?" Ryan looked back at his countryman.
"Of course. You are my son. β
Suddenly!
The piercing sound caused the two to fall into pain, and Ryan covered his ears tightly: "What happened?" β
"I don't know, you go back to the house first."
In the flat building not far from the house, Marven saw the motherland flying through the air and waved his arms: "Action!" β
The white sedan sped out.
The mission went very smoothly and perfectly avoided the Motherland.
Arthur really didn't expect that French actually took advantage of the super hearing of the motherland and put portable stereos together a few kilometers away.
What a clever little ghost.
Not long after, the three Butchers returned, which Marven didn't understand, which was exactly the same as what was said in the plan.
Butcher asks Marvin to take the two away, and BΓ©jat gets out of the car and insists that Butcher follow them.
Arthur didn't care about their family drama, and patted the car cover: "French, Huey, we have to leave." β
With doubts, several people got into the car, and Arthur drove straight away.
Marvin gets into Ryan's car, and Butcher knocks BΓ©jart unconscious and leaves alone in another car.
Three cars headed in three different directions.
"Why did he come back?"
In the car, Huey asked.
"Self-righteousness, violence, and a love of lying are all synonymous with him." Frankie sat in the passenger seat, shaking his head and complaining.
He already had an immune system for Butcher, and he felt okay with the outrageous things he did.
Ding dong.
The mobile phone message rings, and Arthur lifts his butt slightly, focusing on dual use, paying attention to the road while reaching for his phone from his trouser pocket.
I haven't had time to check the content of the information yet.
The car suddenly lost its balance and deviated sideways, and Arthur subconsciously clenched the steering wheel and repeatedly pressed the brakes.
