Chapter 5: I'm not talking to you
Federal Reserve Bank.
The incident is over, and the police are cleaning up the aftermath.
A cordon was erected outside the bank to prevent passers-by from approaching.
Even the entire street has been temporarily closed for traffic, and the police are recovering some parts and debris.
This scene is fully watched by a pair of eyes.
It was a man with a newspaper and a peaked cap, and he stood out unobtrusively among passers-by.
"The motherland is still very strong."
"The Overlord Armor didn't even last 1 minute, so he was killed."
"I haven't even had a chance to shoot at him yet."
"It's terrifying."
He picked up his phone, and there was some data on the screen.
"But luckily, we got the data we needed."
"Using these data of the motherland, targeted upgrades, the new generation of warframes should be more powerful."
The man sighed again: "If you can reproduce the technology of the No. 0 Creature Warframe, you don't have to be so troublesome at all." ”
"Now by reverse projection, you can only get some skins..."
While sighing, he collated the data into a file and sent it to an address.
'Olga Weapons Research Laboratory'!

The Group of Seven headquarters.
Ashley hurried to the command hall and saw the Fatherlander and Edgar walking out.
The two talked and laughed, as if they had forgotten that Vice President Madeleine had died in the morning.
That's the vice president!
Not an ordinary clerk, but a big man who can meet the members of Congress!
But to Edgar, it was like the death of a cat or a dog.
Looking at this situation, Walter has no intention of accountability at all.
Thinking of this, Ashley secretly reminded herself.
What kind of attitude do you need to serve in the face of the people of the motherland?
Watching the Motherland send Edgar into the elevator, Ashley slightly unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt and pulled open the neckline before stepping forward.
"Something's wrong, motherland."
Azu glanced back at her and found that this woman's neckline was very open, revealing her career line, and she was not afraid of catching a cold.
"What's the matter?"
Azu asked calmly.
Ashley said succinctly, "It's the locomotive, and he hit and killed civilians." ”
Locomotive?
Azu's mind suddenly flashed the scene from the TV series.
The main drama is staged!
Seeing that the motherland did not speak, Ashley immediately said, "You don't have to worry. ”
"I've got the PR department in action."
"They will arrange for the locomotive to apologize on television, and the group's lawyers will give the other party's relatives a cheque for humanitarian compensation, and soon the matter will be over."
"It's the way we've always dealt with it, and we haven't found any problems so far."
A smile gradually appeared on Azu's face.
Reaching out and touching Ashley's cheek, "Is there really no problem?" ”
The hand that could easily pinch his head was gently caressing his cheek.
Ashley was so nervous that her breathing became cramped.
She was about to say something.
I heard the people of the motherland say, "We will not do this this time." ”
Ashley: "??? ”
"Ashley, just because there were no problems in the past doesn't mean there won't be in the future."
"The volcano didn't erupt, it's just the end of the day."
Azu smiled and walked to the command hall: "Let the locomotive roll over to meet me." ”
A moment later.
The command hall door opens.
Facing floor-to-ceiling windows with your back to the door.
Azu didn't have to look back, he knew that the locomotive was coming.
"Motherland, are you looking for me?"
The locomotive was a little nervous, and there was even blood on the black man's body that had not been cleaned up.
Azu didn't look back.
With your hands behind your back, you look out the window at the sprawling city.
"You, what's the matter?"
The locomotive cleared his throat: "I was chasing a group of bank robbers in the morning, passing by the street, but I didn't expect the girl to suddenly jump out." ”
"I accidentally bumped into it, okay I'll admit I was distracted, but I can't be blamed for that."
After speaking.
He saw the Motherland beckoning.
The black man walked up to Azu's side.
Azu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, turning his face slightly sideways, smiling brightly.
"What's in it for you to cheat on me?"
The locomotive also wanted to justify: "Motherland, I..."
Suddenly.
He couldn't breathe.
Because the Motherland pinched his neck with one hand.
The tremendous force in his hand was squeezing the air out of his lungs little by little.
Even so.
The smile on the face of the motherland is still the same.
Then the locomotive heard that the leader of the Seven Ancestors said, "I don't care what you did. ”
"But you hit someone."
"It's not like a 'I'm sorry' to get over it."
"I want you to cooperate with our PR."
"Later, Ashley will arrange for you to apologize to the family of the deceased."
"When the time comes, all TV stations in the city will broadcast live."
"So I need you to show enough sincerity."
"Got it?"
After speaking.
Azu let go.
The locomotive coughed violently.
He leaned on the corner of the table, raised his head and said, "But, that's just a civilian, do we need to do this?" ”
Azu turned around with his hands behind his back: "I'm not discussing with you now. ”
He smiled, "It's an order." ”
"Got it?"
The locomotive swallowed: "Understood." ”

Fresh from the funeral of his girlfriend Lobin, Huey and his father returned home and sat on the couch in silence.
"Lobin's funeral was so beautiful."
"Do you see how many people are coming?"
"Everyone respects her very much, and the scene is full of love."
Daddy chattered.
Huey knew he was trying to extricate himself.
But now.
He wasn't in that mood.
At this time, a news item appeared on the TV screen.
In the shot, the locomotive comes out of the car, and the black man is silent.
A reporter next to him stepped forward with a microphone: "Locomotive, are you here to apologize to the families of the victims?" ”
"How did you hit the deceased?"
"Locomotive, what were you doing?"
In the face of reporters' questions, the locomotive remained silent and walked forward.
As the camera switches, the scene changes, and Huey is slightly stunned.
The scenes on TV look familiar.
Like, the street on your doorstep?
Just then, there was a sound from outside the house, followed by a doorbell.
A moment later.
Huey and his father came out the door.
The camera's flash is flashing.
In the flickering dazzling light, he saw the superhero 'Locomotive' wearing goggles.
See, the murderer who hit and killed his girlfriend!
For a moment, Huey felt the urge to rush up and punch him.
Then.
Ashley, who was next to the locomotive, raised her hand to signal the reporters to be quiet, then coughed dryly and smiled professionally.
Look at Huey.
"Hello, Mr. Huey."
"I'm Ashley of Water."
"We're sorry about Miss Lobin."
"The locomotive himself would like to be able to express his deep condolences to you in person."
"And, apologize."
Time.
Huey thought he had misheard.
Superheroes apologize to themselves in person?
At this time, Ashley glanced at the locomotive.
The black man, who had never taken off his goggles, looked left and right, spoke at a very fast pace, in a voice that was barely audible.
Spoken.
"I'm sorry."
