084: Suspicion of Eugene, tracking
Due to a mistake at Silverman Manor, the atmosphere in the car was a little heavy when Rojo returned to Hell's Kitchen, and Marcos and John looked bad, apparently frustrated that they didn't get their commission.
The idea of the two of them is very simple, but to earn commissions for the base, to prepare for the upcoming cold weather, this sounds a bit like a homeless, you need to prepare a warm residence before the arrival of winter, mutants are obviously not much better than homeless, Marcos and John have long been used to it, and they are also deeply aware of the damage to the underground base in winter, after all, the thing that froze to death in the shelter in the past has not happened less.
Eugene's face was not good, but under the constantly flashing street lamps, a large part of his face was obscured by shadows, making it difficult to see clearly, but the fast speeding vehicles on the highway showed his mood at this time.
Rojo didn't want to speak, but he had to ask: "Eugene, what is that antique, even S.H.I.E.L.D. is interested in them." ”
"It's an antique, all he told me, and it's a treasure, a stele that Sylviman bought from Egypt at great expense."
Eugene glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "I didn't know that S.H.I.E.L.D. would be there tonight, and he didn't tell me that the broken stone would be so popular." ”
"What can make S.H.I.E.L.D. look good, it's definitely not going to be easy."
Rojo said, and didn't continue, he wanted to ask why he still didn't choose to evacuate after S.H.I.E.L.D. appeared.
But thinking back to Eugene's attachment to the antique and his own plan, Rojo still didn't ask, he didn't trust Eugene, but telepathy doesn't lie, Eugene never said a word of lie.
The reason why Rojo chose not to trust Eugene was that when S.H.I.E.L.D. snatched the antique goods, he could clearly feel Eugene's strong emotional fluctuations, and at the same time anger, as if he would sacrifice everything to get his hands on the antique.
Even knowing that Marcos was injured, that emotion did not diminish much, but when he realized that the goods could not be returned, he reluctantly held back the anger in his heart.
Thinking about it, Rojo couldn't help but glance at Eugene more, this shelter base that seemed to be united and yearned for a new future for mutants didn't seem to be as good as he imagined.
Moreover, Eugene in front of him doesn't seem to be so simple, he seems to be a person who can't be seen through.
Eugene noticed the young man's gaze and spoke directly, "You don't trust me? ”
This sentence made Marcos and John beside him stunned for a moment, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on Rojo.
"No, Rogan and I, as well as the professor, Lorna, Laura, and Caliban, are willing to stay, apparently willing to trust you."
Rojo noticed the sight of the three of them, frowned, and immediately shook his head to explain, "I'm just wondering if S.H.I.E.L.D. will find out about our existence, after all, an organization like theirs will definitely not let an unknown mutant shelter stay in New York, mutants are a potential threat to them, not to mention that we also attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. task force tonight." ”
"It was a necessity, not something we wanted to."
Eugene's expression softened for a while, and said: "But you don't have to worry too much, the base is hidden in Hell's Kitchen, it won't be found so easily, even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't do it, besides, I have planned a long time ago to change a comfortable environment for everyone, but there has been a problem with the funds recently." ”
"So, the commission we earned for this operation is actually to change a place to live?"
John couldn't help but chime in, "Honestly, I've had enough of that damp and gloomy basement. ”
"Yes, I promised to give everyone a good living environment, although it can't be ascended to heaven in one step, but it can be achieved step by step."
Eugene nodded, a wistful smile on his lips.
Rojo looked at him and didn't react immediately, because of telepathy, once again from Eugene, he sensed a strong emotion similar to the one before, a desire and attachment to something.
This made him wonder again, was it the longing and longing for the future of mutants? Or something else?
Rojo wasn't sure, he didn't perceive the threat and danger that carried in these emotions.
"Rojo?"
Eugene noticed the boy's hesitation, thinking that he was still worried, smiled and said: "Don't worry, believe me, it doesn't take until Christmas, we can move out of that dark and damp basement, this mission is just a mistake, each of us will make mistakes, not to mention that I have done so many things for everyone, it is impossible to do everything." ”
"Hmm."
Rojo didn't say much, just nodded, but it was also this move that made him realize that Eugene seemed to take trust very seriously, and after getting his own approval, Eugene's mood fluctuated significantly.
The car soon drove into Hell's Kitchen, due to the narrow streets and the age of the warehouse, new houses had already been built around, and there was no road for the car to drive into, so several people had to get out of the car and walk there.
Marcos touched the wound and licked his dry lips, and he thought about going for a drink, "Would you like to have a drink?" At this point, the hostess's tavern is not closed. ”
"Whatever, let's do it together."
John said, looking at Rojo and Eugene.
Rojo nodded, "No problem. ”
"Let's go, I'm just going to pick up a mail, I'll finish my drink and go back early, remember not to be too late, it's better to go back before I go back."
Eugene was going to pick up mail in the next neighborhood, and he waved his hand, instructed the three of them, and then turned and walked down the street.
"To the mail?"
Rojo looked at Eugene's back, thought about it, and immediately pulled John and Marcos to the tavern.
John and Marcos were forced to follow, complaining, "Boy, what are you doing running so fast?" ”
"I'm going to the bathroom, you can order a drink for me, and I'll be right out."
Rojo was quick enough to lead the two to the tavern, leaving them behind and striding into the bathroom, causing the guests to retreat to the side.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my friend urinate frequently."
Marcos hurriedly smiled awkwardly and apologized, "It's all men, you know"
"God, he looks pretty young."
However, Marcos and John didn't know that after the bathroom door was locked, Rojo inside had already climbed out of the window and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.
