"Not this time."

Azu didn't lie to her, and shook his head directly.

Angelina looked disappointed.

Azu patted her on the shoulder: "After I leave, you will be free." ”

"You can do what you want, and I will leave you the shares in my hand and all the property."

"They don't work against me anyway."

Angelina looked at him and said, "If I could go with you, I'd rather not do that." ”

Azu sighed, put his arm around her, and said, "I'm sorry, Cortana. ”

"It's not that I don't want to take you away, it's that I can't."

"I can only go alone, you know?"

Angelina's eyes turned red: "I just can't bear to leave you, master." ”

Azu kissed her on the forehead, didn't comfort her anymore, and just left.

Meanwhile.

New York City Areas.

"Don't come here, we have hostages!"

"If you don't stop, we're going to kill someone."

In a supermarket, several black men are holding seven or eight hostages, and they are loudly threatening Starlight and Maeve.

But the two female superheroes are not focused on this matter at all right now, and they are holding their phones with a look of disbelief.

"Is this true?"

"The Motherland is leaving the earth?"

"Where is he going?" Starlight puts down her phone and looks at Maeve.

The motherland is her idol, and not so long ago, they had a super-friendly relationship.

Although since that time, the motherland has not touched her again.

But Starlight has always wanted to be the girlfriend of the motherland, but now, the motherland is leaving the earth, so she will never see this man again.

Maeve was also confused, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard him mention it, but in fact, I haven't seen him in a while." ”

"Maybe he's just talking and playing." Starlight tries to convince herself, "He's always been like this, hasn't he?" ”

"Maybe it's just a prank this time."

Maeve looked at her and said, "You should know who he is, he wouldn't joke about this kind of thing." ”

"In particular, he also held a special press conference, that is, he was serious."

Starlight shook her head, her emotions becoming agitated, "Why did he say he would just leave!" ”

"And he didn't consult us beforehand, is he going to leave us like that?"

Maeve smiled helplessly: "Isn't he such a person?" ”

"You've seen him consult with everyone when he always makes the decision and we do it."

"This time will certainly be no different."

At this time, the robbers over there saw that they were still walking towards this side, and a man immediately raised his hand, ready to shoot a hostage.

"I told you, I mean it!"

But at this moment, something suddenly flew and hit the black man's head, and the black man immediately lost his luster in his eyes and fell sideways.

His companion saw a toothbrush stuck in the negro's temple.

While they were distracted, Maeve rushed over, punching and kicking her.

A moment later.

The kidnapping was over, the hostages were freed, and the kidnappers were killed, wounded, and all put into the ambulance.

If it was before, the supermarket would have been full of reporters by now, but when Maeve and Starlight walked out today, there was not a single reporter outside the supermarket.

Now almost all of New York's reporters are concentrated in the Tower of Seven, and although the Motherland is gone, they are still able to interview Anne as an assistant.

"No, I'm going to ask him about it." Starlight said as she got into the car.

Maeve sat next to her, closed the door and said, "You'd better not get your hopes up." ”

Starlight looked confused, "At the very least, he should say goodbye to us." ”

Maeve laughed, "He hates to do this kind of thing the most, otherwise he wouldn't have announced his departure in such a way." ”

While the two were talking, the car had already started and drove towards the Tower of Seven.

The Super Children's Academy affiliated with the University of Goth.

Bell~

As soon as the bell rang, the children in the classroom began to pack their school bags and prepare to go home.

"Did you hear, the motherland is leaving, he is leaving the earth."

"I saw it on TV, but it was not detailed, why did the motherland suddenly leave."

"Who knows, but he's going to start interstellar travel, which is so cool, worthy of my idol."

Ryan quickly packed up his textbooks and walked out of the classroom, and when he reached the school gate, he saw Cindy.

Moments later, they were already sitting in the car on their way to the Eden base.

"Did he tell you about leaving?" Ryan asked, looking at Cindy, who was sitting next to her.

Cindy looked out the window and shook her head, "No, but I have a hunch." ”

"When he arranged for us to attend, I could feel as if he was leaving."

Ryan hung his head, looked at his toes and said, "Me too." ”

"He also taught me a lot of things, and I felt like he was leaving."

"But I didn't think it would be so fast."

Cindy looked at the boy, put her arm around him and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of you, so you don't have to be too upset." ”

"And Miss Angelina, she won't leave with her, will she?"

Ryan embarrassedly pushed Cindy away: "I'm not upset. ”

"I just felt a little surprised."

"I'm a little"

Cindy grinned, "Reluctant to him? ”

"What, you took him like a father?"

Ryan wanted to say 'he meant to be,' but didn't say it in the end.

It was already evening when I got back to the Eden base.

As soon as he entered the house, Ryan saw the man standing on the balcony, he dropped his bag and walked over.

Azu heard the movement early in the morning, and didn't look back, and said with a smile: "I heard that you got an A in the recent school test?" ”

"That test paper is very simple, I will do it in the morning, nothing remarkable." Ryan walked over, head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Azu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the boy's head: "You will be an amazing person in the future, I said." ”

Ryan then looked up at him: "I don't care. ”

"I'm just"

"I just want to"

"Me"

Azu looked at him and smiled, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Whatever you want to do today, I can promise you."

"Do you want to go fishing together?"

"Or do you want me to accompany you to the amusement park for a day?"

"Or, let's go for a burger together?"

Ryan shook his head and whispered, "I want you to hug me." ”

"Even if it's just once."

Azu was stunned, he didn't expect his wish to be so simple.

Seeing that Azu didn't agree for a long time, Ryan looked elsewhere: "Forget it, I'm just saying it casually, you don't need it."

Suddenly.

He left the ground with his feet, but instead of flying on his own, he was picked up by Azu.

Azu put him around his neck and said, "How about it, can you see farther this way?" ”

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then cautiously reached out to hug Azu, tears rolling in his eyes.

Finally, I couldn't help it, and I cried out.

In the next room, Cindy heard Ryan crying, and the girl smiled, shook her head, then put her headphones on and started singing.

A few days later.

Federal President Newman secretly comes to the Eden base.

She was guided by Angelina's tour of the base and saw many research projects that went beyond modern technology, much to Newman's amazement.

By the time she saw Azu, it was already evening.

The two dined in the base's private dining room.

"When are you going to go?" Newman cut a small piece of beef with a knife, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

She said in passing, "Your chefs are good. ”

Azu drank wine and said: "The chefs here are all chefs of Michelin restaurants, if you like it, let Angelina find you a few?" ”

Then he answered Newman's question just now: "Maybe in the next few days, maybe after a while, who knows, I'm just saying hello to everyone in advance." ”

Newman put down his knife and fork and gently wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Your greeting caught us off guard."

"It took me a few days to stabilize public opinion, and if you had spoken to me in advance, it would have been much easier."

Azu laughed and said, "Isn't that more interesting?" ”

"Wouldn't you feel too bored with a life that is set in stone, everything is planned?"

"I'm long past the thrill-seeker age." Newman said with a smile.

She picked up her knife and fork again, and as she cut the beef for herself, she asked, "What can I do for you?" ”

Azu shook his head: "No, I can't still bring luggage, so there's nothing to prepare." ”

Newman looked at the man on the other end of the table, "So, will we meet again?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not."

Azu spread his hands: "Don't tell me, you're in love with me." ”

Newman laughed and shook his head: "No way, although I have to admit that there will probably not be a man in bed who can give me the same feeling as you in the future, but I will not fall in love with you just because I am comfortable in bed with you." ”

"I'm not a child."

Azu nodded: "That's good, I don't want to deal with such complicated emotional issues." ”

Newman put another piece of beef into his mouth, then raised his glass and said, "Then, tonight's meeting can be regarded as a farewell." ”

"I'm so busy that I can't see you off."

"Here's where I wish you a nice trip."

Azu happily picked up the wine glass: "Thank you." ”

After dinner, Newman took a helicopter and left.

Watching the president's helicopter leave, Angelina glanced at Azu and said, "I thought she would stay at night." ”

"She's busy."

"Of course, she'll stay if I ask for it."

Azu looked at Angelina and said, "However, I want to give you the rest of the time." ”

Angelina leaned happily on Azu's shoulder.

Also on this night.

Security Secretary Mallory got out of the car, she slipped into an alley in Brooklyn, came to a rusty iron door, knocked on it.

Moments later, an observation window opened on the door, and a pair of eyes appeared behind the observation window, and the door opened.

Behind the door, the diminutive Frankie bent down and bowed: "Good evening, ma'am." ”

Mallory walked in, looked at the wall plastered with newspapers and sticky notes, and said, "It won't be long before I can cancel your arrest." ”

Frankie glanced at the lady: "Is it because the motherland is leaving?" ”

Mallory took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out one and looked at Franche: "Do you want one?" ”

Frankie shook his head: "I'm not used to your cigarettes, so, thank you." ”

Mallory didn't force him, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette and said: "His departure is undoubtedly good news for this world." ”

"Although the crime rate has skyrocketed in the past few days because the news that the motherland is leaving the earth has spread, no one will be able to live happily next to a nuclear bomb in the long run."

"And after he's gone, a lot of things can be overturned, like your wanted warrant."

Frankie nodded: "That's really good news, I've forgotten how long it's been since I spent in the sun." ”

"When the wanted warrant is lifted, I'm going to Hawaii, and I'm going to have a good vacation."

Mallory spat out a cloud of smoke: "Whatever you want, you can enjoy your life in the future." ”

"It's a pity"

"It's a pity that William and the breast milk didn't see this day."

Frankie laughed, "I'll enjoy life for those two bastards." ”

Mallory laughed.

After smoking a cigarette, she got up and left.

Chicago.

'Papa's Chinese Restaurant', it's already ten o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant closes.

"You can go back, Xiaolin, I'll do the rest."

The shopkeeper, who is in his fifties, said to Lin Aida.

Lin Aida nodded: "Then I'll go back first, Dad." ”

"Be careful on the road."

"Also, it should be time for you to have surgery soon, and your eyes will be able to see things soon, come on."

The shopkeeper waved his hand at Lin Aida.

Although Lin Aida couldn't see it, she could feel her father's care, she smiled back, and then led her guide dog Arthur.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Aida entered the subway station, when several thugs approached.

"Miss, we've been having a bit of a hard time lately, can you help us?"

These little thugs have been watching Lin Aida for a long time, and they know that she is off work at this time, and usually walks alone.

Lin Aida couldn't see, so he could only use the blind cane to wave around, and threatened: "You guys leave quickly, or I will call the police." ”

But all she heard was a burst of laughter.

But I don't know how, the laughter suddenly disappeared.

Lin Aida was stunned, and carefully waved around with the blind cane, and after finding no abnormality, she said.

"Arthur, are they gone?"

The guide dog barked.

"Let's go, let's go home."

The girl entered the subway with the assistance of a guide dog and got on the train, at which point she felt someone sitting next to her.

But the man never spoke, and was quiet.

Arthur, the guide dog at his feet, made that flattering sound, as if he liked the person sitting next to him.

Lin Aida felt strange, and a moment later, the car arrived at the station, and when she got up to leave, Arthur was still reluctant to leave.

After walking out of the subway station, Lin Aida said, "Arthur, who do you see?" ”

Arthur barked.

Lin Aida laughed to herself: "I'm really, you can't speak, why am I asking this." ”

She walked to the door, opened it, and led the dog into the house.

When it was time to close the door, Arthur called out the door.

In the eyes of the Labrado dog, the figure of Azu was reflected.

Azu made a 'silence' gesture to Arthur, and when the door closed, he smiled, and the figure disappeared into the alley. (End of chapter)
