Sometimes.

Spoken pleas are not as useful as silent pleas.

Because this involves a fundamental question.

If there is a request, there is a response.

If Seifer intercedes for Zola, Luke will have to give Seifer an answer anyway, and if he agrees, it's fine, but what if the answer doesn't satisfy Seifer?

So!

Seifer chose a different path.

Silence is better than sound.

In this way, no matter what kind of answer Luke chooses to give, no matter what, it does not affect the relationship between the two people.

At least on the surface.

In the adult world, it has always been about face.

As Rachel said to Luke.

It doesn't matter what kind of beer you drink outside, but at home, on formal occasions, you can only drink bourbon.

Luke agreed.

That's when it happened.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent found Natasha, who nodded and leaned into Jack's ear.

The next second.

Jack glanced at Natasha, then walked over to Luke's side.

"Boss."

"Say."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. agents found a lot of ...... in a room on the seventh floor of the base that looked like a crematorium Suspected cute corpse. ”

“……”

Luke withdrew his gaze from Sever, who was not far away, and looked at Jack.

"A lot? Define it. ”

"Fifteen were found, ...... in the incinerator"

"I see."

When Lu Ke heard this, he instantly knew the origin of the corpse, interrupted Jack's words and said, "Those were killed by Lu Jia in the process of survival of the fittest. ”

Natasha on the side was slightly stunned.

"Lu Jia?"

"The name of one of the daughters that the eldest just received."

Jack turned his head and glanced at Natasha to explain, then changed the subject: "But boss, the people of Aegis are about to turn over the entire base, and they still haven't found a place to hide Moe. ”

Luke frowned.

"Is the monitoring called?"

"Retrieved."

"Meng Meng must have entered this hive base."

Natasha took Jack's words and said to Luke: "Alice also took out the time when Dr. Bai came here, and after comparing the pictures, it was confirmed that when Dr. Bai came, one of his subordinates was holding a baby in his arms. ”

Luke nodded.

"The last place to appear."

"This is it."

Natasha said, glancing at the computer room in front of her, her eyes fell on the server that pulled the electric switch not far away, and then a bright light appeared: "If the monitoring provided by Alice is credible, then, on the night Dr. Bai came, he came to this computer room with a suspected cute baby, but by the time Dr. Bai left, there was no trace of the baby in his arms." ”

Jack's eyes also looked around, and after the core server was lit up, it began to become like daylight, except for the computer room where there were almost no hiding places except for the servers all over the place: "Here, it's impossible, don't talk about babies here, even if it's me, I feel that the air in here will be sluggish for a long time, let alone a baby." ”

Natasha shrugged her shoulders and didn't speak.

Luke didn't speak, just glanced at the right corner of the computer room, and then turned his gaze to Seifer, who had re-lit Dr. Zola's server, and then turned around and walked towards him with his coat tied around his waist.

"Launched?"

"Hmm."

When Luke heard this, he looked directly at Jack.

"Jack."

"Boss."

"You take Seifer and Natasha to wait outside the door for a while, there are some things, I want to talk to Zora first."

"Okay."

Jack nodded.

Seifer also nodded with a normal look and walked towards the door.

Natasha, on the other hand, looked at Luke with some wistful words.

After all, after Luke and Hill ended their call, Hill sent her a private instruction to stay by her side as much as possible while Luke asked Zola.

Again, that's the same sentence.

Maria Hill is not Nick Fury, not the kind of person who believes what others say.

Despite Luke's words, Maria Hill remained skeptical.

Luke also saw Natasha's face and chuckled: "If you want to stay, stay here, Jack, you and Seifer go out first." ”

Natasha seemed to see through Luke's thoughts, and smiled apologetically: "The order is here." ”

"Understood." Luke smiled.

Jack and Seifer looked at each other, then nodded, then turned and left the room.

As the door of the computer room closed, Luke also looked at the server in front of him, which was all turned on and the fans were all turned on to dissipate heat, and said, "Come out, Zola." ”

The words fell.

Several red lasers were projected down, accompanied by rapid jitter, and finally, converged into Zola's electronic image.

Zola's gaze fell on Natasha's.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"You can't be contacted, I thought you didn't want to be my informant, and you directly collaborated with the enemy, so I could only pull the Aegis."

Luke's tone was understated.

Zola knew it instantly.

"As you can see, they saw through me, and I was taken offline by them."

"Huh."

Although he didn't want S.H.I.E.L.D. to know about Hydra, it was also Luke's intention.

But......

Luke didn't really want to play with Zola here, so he asked knowingly, and directly got down to business: "My daughter, Zola." ”

Zola didn't bother to talk about him left and right, and didn't even say a word haha.

"Meng Meng is still alive."

"Where?"

"Z-dimension."

Luke's gaze fell to the right side of the machine room.

"Open."

"Okay."

The words fell, under Luke's gaze and Natasha's observation, accompanied by several scarlet magic surges, and then a magic door that seemed to lead to another world was opened.

Natasha looked surprised.

"What is this?"

"Space."

Lu Ke said without looking back, and then walked straight to the door of magic that could devour people like a whirlpool, and then under Natasha's gaze, he stepped directly into this door of magic power.

Natasha was taken aback, but chose to follow.

Just as she gritted her teeth and followed Lu Ke through this magic door together, she only felt countless crimson colors flash in front of her eyes, and then her eyes lit up.

When Natasha recovered, she found herself in a different world.

Overhead is blue sky and white clouds.

At the foot is the green prairie.

It's like......

In a parallel world, the default interface of the computer's operating system is the same.

"It's beautiful."

"Beauty, don't be blinded by appearances."

Luke turned his head to look at Natasha, who was following him, laughed, stretched out his right hand in his pocket, and then slammed it into the air.

The next second.

The sound of fragmentation resounded in all corners of this space.

The blue sky and white clouds, as well as the green prairie, began to fall apart like broken mirrors, and then Natasha saw the real appearance of this space.

There was no blue sky and white clouds overhead, dark black, intertwined with crimson that symbolized chaos.

There is no green prairie under your feet, and everywhere you can see it, there is yellow sand.

Endless yellow sand.

Luke bent down, picked up the yellow sand on the ground, rubbed it, put it on the tip of his nose, and sniffed it lightly.

After checking the taste, it was the yellow sand he was looking for to give these clone soul fragments.

That's when it happened.

Natasha in front of her saw two figures that appeared at the end of her sight, and then struggled to climb over the yellow sand and appear in front of the two.

"Look, there's someone there."

“……”

Luke looked up.

into the eyes.

The figures of two women, one red and one black, looming in the yellow sand, gradually became clear and real.

The first thing that was clear was the girl in front of her, who was dressed in red, and even Natasha had some impression of seeing this face, looking seventeen or eighteen years old.

Natasha looked at the girl in red, a little surprised.

Look closely.

This is clearly a bit like how Alice has grown up after projecting it out just now.

Greasy Shet!

"You're not that Ellie ......"

"Hello, father."

The girl in red interrupted Natasha's words, looked at Luke with a smile, and said hello: "Father doesn't seem surprised at all. ”

Lu Ke smiled: "Do you need to be surprised, haven't you seen it a long time ago?" ”

The girl in red smiled and said, "Father is talking about the Alice outside, it was made by my grandfather with my consciousness, because I can't leave here to see my father outside, so my grandfather will do this." ”

Luke smiled: "Other clones are smuggling outside, if you go out, it's not smuggling, it's robbery in person." ”

If other clones were able to show their living side, it was because they all used the yellow sand rich in soul fragments here.

Then the girl in red in front of her, who said that she couldn't get out, was not a so-called soul fragment, but a completely new soul assembled here.

To put it simply.

The girl in red in front of her is no longer a clone, because she has a complete soul.

But......

She couldn't leave this space, because her soul belonged here, not outside.

The other clones have a small amount of soul fragments, so they won't touch the defense mechanism of life and death, but the girl in red in front of you.

Unless Mephisto was blind, he would have noticed that someone was usurping his authority.

In fact, even if Mephisto couldn't come to him for trouble, because of the world's instinctive and xenophobic will, once this girl in red appeared outside, her complete soul, which was rubbed together with countless fragments, would become fragmented.

This is the main reason why the girl in the red dress said that she couldn't leave.

But......

That's not the point.

The focus is on the girl in black next to the girl in red.

Unlike the girl in red who was familiar with Lu Ke when she first met, she seemed to be a good girl from the beginning, and this girl in black didn't speak after she appeared, just staring at Lu Ke with a pair of big black and translucent eyes. (End of chapter)
