Phillips' words left Ajak puzzled.

"Don't you know that he's going to get stronger and stronger over time? Why not deal with him sooner? Ajak said he didn't understand.

"Li Ping'an is now participating in the research of one of our secret experiments, so at least until the research is successful, we can't deal with him, of course, if you are willing to help us with the research, we can also deal with him immediately." Phillips explained.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I said that we Eternals will not be involved in the study of your human civilization."

Ajak's face is not very good-looking, and even after all these years, she still hates the fact that humans use each other and backstab each other at the same time.

Because the Eternals are scarce and difficult to reproduce, their companions have to work together against the anomalies to keep the population from extinction.

So they are very united.

Even if a companion has eternal demonic disease, they will not abandon their companion, but choose to accompany each other and help them through the difficulties.

She hated this kind of backstabbing behavior.

Phillips said: "Then we must rely on Li Ping'an now, and we can only do it later." ”

"I don't know what you're studying, but I hope you don't touch forbidden areas that humans can't touch right now, such as the 'Anomaly Serum'."

Ajak's voice, which has always had a maternal brilliance, has a hint of warning in it.

"What we study is a matter for our human race, and as you said, you Eternals cannot interfere with the progress of our human civilization."

Phillips was also a little angry with Ajak, so he replied with Ajak's words.

Ajak sighed, for a moment she wanted to stop human research by force.

But she wasn't a hardliner like Icaris or a cynical opposition like the druids.

Her maternal brilliance and years of companionship with the human race have led her to see humans as disobedient children.

No matter how disappointed she is with humanity, she is still unwilling to forcibly change humanity by force.

Even in the end, she would rather die than sacrifice humans for the birth of the Celestials.

So even if Phillips didn't understand her hard work and turned against her, she could only sigh helplessly.

Like a mother who can't discipline the most rebellious child in the family, she can only shake her head and say, "You will regret it." ”

......

May 1943.

"It worked, we finally succeeded, I said, I'm the best engineer in America!"

Howard's excited voice could be heard even from standing outside the lab.

"Li Ping'an, this machine can definitely provide the life energy needed in the process of serum enhancement to ensure the smooth progress of the reinforcement!"

"yes, it's finally working, what's the matter, let's go to my place tonight and celebrate."

"Forget it, everyone knows about the recent conflict between you and Lorraine, it's too uncomfortable to go to you, why don't you go to me, I'll find a few babies to celebrate, so that you can enjoy the happiness of being single!"

Howard looked at Li Ping'an with frowns, and men understood the meaning contained in it.

"Forget it, my family was unhappy, if I messed around with you again, I would really be single."

Li Ping'an smiled bitterly and shook his head to refuse.

There is only one main reason for the contradiction between Lorraine and herself, and that is the "Ten Rings"!

Both Phillips and Zach knew of the existence of the Ten Rings, not by Lorraine's leaks, but by the result of Zack's family investigation.

After several months of investigation, the old man in Zack's family had determined that 'Wenwu' had died, and learned that Li Ping'an had appeared around the world with Wenwu overnight.

Obtain most of the wealth of the civil and military from the civil and military.

Just imagine, how could a person who even likes money endure the temptation of the Ten Rings!

So the old man began to arrange for people to investigate where Li Ping'an put the Ten Rings?

The first respondent, of course, was Lorraine.

Phillips spoke to Lorraine in person, and Zach was also present at the time, and they effortlessly learned from Lorraine that the Ten Rings were in Li Ping'an's hands.

and learned that Li Ping'an was going to give the Ten Rings to Lorraine, and Zach thought Li Ping'an was a fool at that time.

At the same time, he also realized that Li Ping'an would never hand over the Ten Rings to them, so he imagined that the old man reported the situation.

In fact, they persuaded Lorraine to let Li Ping'an hand over the Ten Rings, but Li Ping'an refused, which also led to Lorraine and him have been in conflict.

The old fellow, who was in a position of power but was old, immediately began to use his energy.

began to dispatch troops, regardless of the opposition of others, insisted on dispatching troops and arranging fighter planes and missiles, preparing to encircle Li Ping'an and use strong means to seize the Ten Rings.

Phillips had the intention to wait until the serum research was successful before making a move, but the old man didn't give anyone face, and insisted on dealing with Li Ping'an quickly.

For him, his biggest worry every day is not whether the United States will win or not, but whether he will be able to see the sun the next day.

Seeing that the hope of immortality is in front of him, how can he let it go.

Now nothing is as important as the Ten Rings!

And today, all the troops have been deployed, and today, no matter what, you have to get the Ten Rings!

Li Ping'an refused Howard's celebration banquet and returned home first.

At this time, Lorraine stepped forward and hugged Li Ping'an as before, which made Li Ping'an feel surprised.

Because of going home these days, Lorraine sulked with herself every day, but today she was uncharacteristically and hugged Li Ping'an again.

But this hug, Li Ping'an did not feel warmth from it, but a burst of loss emerged in his heart.

It seems that there are some things he thinks he has that have always been illusory, and he wants to unveil his beautiful veil, so that Li Ping'an can recognize the bloody reality.

"Take me out for a ride." Lorraine whispered.

The tone was soft, and every time he greeted Li Ping'an at the door before, he said, "You're back!" The tone is no different.

Li Ping'an sighed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Okay, where do you want to go." ”

"I want to go out of town."

Lorraine's face was a little tangled when she said this, and her tone was a little unconfident.

But Li Ping'an still said as always: "Okay! ”

Just like in the past, every time Lorraine had a small request, Li Ping'an replied.

The two of them drove slowly through the streets, and when they came to the door of the jewelry store, Lorraine suddenly spoke.

"The necklace you gave me is my favorite, and even though there are many other necklaces later, it is still my most precious one." Lorraine looked at the jewelry store on her right, and said in a somewhat lonely tone.

"I took you there on purpose, and I liked you before." Li Ping'an felt a little sad in his heart, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the car drove to the gate of the furniture city.

Li Ping'an said: "I specially let you choose these furniture, just hope that everything in the house is what you like." ”

The car continued to drive forward, and came to the place where Lorraine customized Li Ping'an's clothes, which was the route Li Ping'an deliberately chose.

"The dress you bought me is my favorite, and I've kept it very well and only wore it when I went to see you."

Lorraine also noticed that the clothes on Li Ping'an's body were selected for him, and he didn't know when he changed them.

The car slowly drove forward and finally came to a central street.

To the left is the main road outside the city, and to the right is the outskirts where Li Ping'an fought with Icaris before.

Li Ping'an turned his head and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Lorraine turned his head, didn't look at Li Ping'an, was silent for a long time, and finally bit his lip and said, "Go to the suburbs." ”

"Good!"

The car began to drive in the direction of the suburbs.

Outside the car is a fading building.

There was a silent silence in the car.

"I have bought you houses in many places, enough for you to live in, in my briefcase, there are a lot of certificates of deposit in major banks, you can go directly to get them when the time comes, in the villa I bought you in New York, there is a mezzanine behind the cabinet in the master bedroom, and the gold in it can be used to ensure that even if the bank fails, it will be enough for you to live a good life in the future."

Li Ping'an babbled and explained.

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden, don't you want me?" Lorraine asked with tears in her eyes.

Women seem to be very good at conquering men with tears, even if they are wrong, as long as they squeeze out their tears, as if they can swap the identities of the person who has done the wrong thing.

If it was usual, Li Ping'an might not care about right and wrong, and instead comforted Lorraine.

But today, Li Ping'an is not ready to do this.

"Lorraine, as a soldier, you are worthy of the country, you have dedicated everything to the country, even if the opportunity for eternal life is in front of you, you will give up for the country, you are an excellent soldier, more qualified than many men."

"But, as a spy, you're really lame, but I always thought I could touch you with love, but it turns out I'm wrong."

"Lorraine, I've seen a lot of humanity and darkness, but I'm still pure to you. I mean, you shouldn't use those tricks on me. ”

At this time, the vehicle stopped steadily in front of the forest where Li Ping'an and Icaris were fighting.

Li Ping'an said to Lorraine: "You go back." The next thing is not for you to meddle in, remember, run farther. ”

After that, Li Ping'an was about to get out of the car.

A pair of arms grabbed Li Ping'an tightly and didn't let go, and Li Ping'an turned around.

Lorraine's crying pear blossom with rain face was reflected in Li Ping'an's eyes.

"You know it all, don't you? You give them the ten rings, we can still live our lives well, okay, I also resign, let's live a peaceful life together, okay? ”

Li Ping'an shook his head: "Lorraine, knowing that I can't do it, is my greatest sincerity to this relationship." I've tried, now listen to me, you run, don't look back! ”

"I want them to know that the only thing they can take from me is what I am willing to give to them, and that they want to get something from me only by begging at me on their knees, not by grinning at me!"

After that, Li Ping'an walked out of the car door and strode towards the forest.

Leaving only Lorraine in the car, like a lovelorn little girl crying helplessly in the car.
