Chapter 228: The Missing Peter
At Imperial High School in New York, a new week has begun, but Lin Rui's mood is not good. Yesterday, the joy of joining a top hacker in the team disappeared because he didn't see Peter in the morning, and Lin Rui couldn't even contact Peter now.
In the eyes of the surrounding classmates, the triangular circle formed by Lin Rui, Harry, and Peter last semester now does not know what is wrong and has split. Due to the family business, Harry has little chance of continuing his studies in high school, and Lin Rui and Peter, who were still together last week, are left alone this week. The surrounding classmates were speculating about what happened to their golden triangle, after all, with the talent or family background of Lin Rui and the others, they were still very famous in New York Imperial High School.
And just as Lin Rui was sitting in his seat thinking about what had happened to Peter, Tom, who had previously changed to the last row of the classroom, was silently watching him from behind.
Since Lin Rui became a Phantom Knight and established the Guardian Alliance, he really neglected his good friend since he was a child. Because now Lin Rui's life is incomprehensible to ordinary people, Peter and Harry are Spider-Man, and the other may become a little Green Goblin, and get along with them more casually.
Of course, Tom and Lin Rui's estrangement also has his own reasons. It seems that it can be seen that Lin Rui and Peter are closer, and Tom, who can't fit in, consciously distances himself from Lin Rui. However, Tom has been paying attention to his good friend since then.
Maybe without Lin Rui's knowledge, Tom already knew a lot of things he didn't expect. Speaking of which, Tom is one of the few fans that Phantom Knight fan site has only started with.
Buzzing~
Just when Lin Rui was sitting in his seat in a "daze", the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate. Since he knew that Tianyan's hacking skills were very good, Lin Rui asked him to transform his Phantom Knight's mobile phone so that others could not track it. In this way, in normal times, Lin Rui can also carry the phone belonging to the Phantom Knight with him.
Glancing at the vibrating phone screen, the name displayed on it made Lin Rui a little surprised, but he quickly recovered and reached out to extinguish the phone. After a while, school will be over, and it will be nice to call back when the time comes.
Jingle bell~
Soon the bell rang for the end of school, Lin Rui quickly packed his schoolbag and left the classroom, he was going to Peter's house today. Peter had been unable to contact him for several days, and after thinking about Peter's strange behavior recently, Lin Rui felt the need to meet him.
Tom's eyes flashed after seeing Lin Rui leave quickly, and then he also left the school with his schoolbag, and the direction he left didn't seem to be the route home.
On the way to Peter's house, Lin Rui had already taken out the Phantom Knight's mobile phone, and then flipped out the phone number he had called before and dialed it. The person on the other side shouldn't have called him if he was fine, but he didn't know what he was looking for now, and he should be quite busy now.
"Hey, Phantom Knight, hello!" quickly the phone was answered, and the deep voice of Captain Rogers came from the other end of the line.
"Hello, Captain Rogers. He should be very busy during this time, why do you have time to call me?" Hearing Captain Rogers' voice, Lin Rui asked lightly.
Just yesterday, Lin Rui saw an interview with Captain Rogers on TV, and now Steve has become a super idol in the United States, and his fame is not known how many times more than Spider-Man and Phantom Rider, the street heroes of New York.
"Phantom Knight, are you handy now? I have something I want to talk to you about. Without answering Lin Rui's ridicule, Steve on the other end of the phone asked seriously.
"Now? Not yet, but it should be available for the evening. Although he was a little puzzled about what Steve was looking for him, Lin Rui still answered truthfully.
"At night, I'll contact you then. By the way, are you in New York now?" Captain Rogers seemed a little sorry when he heard Phantom Knight's answer, but then asked.
"Well, I'm in New York. It seemed that he heard a trace of anxiety in Captain Rogers' words, and Lin Rui's tone became more serious.
Is there something important going on?But isn't S.H.I.E.L.D. supposed to be fighting Hydra at this time? Captain Rogers didn't say anything about finding Lin Rui, but Lin Rui had already guessed.
Speaking of which, Lin Rui just reminded Nick of the matter of Hydra at the beginning, and the battle some time ago did not contribute much, but the blow of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Hydra was also counted on Lin Rui, and I don't know how the completion of this main quest was calculated. But this is also a good thing for Lin Rui, he won't bother with this.
"Then I'll go to New York to find you in the evening, that's all. After saying the last sentence and making an appointment with Lin Rui, Captain Rogers hung up the phone, and never said anything on the phone to find Lin Rui.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Rui, who also hung up the phone, thought silently in his heart.
Lin Rui wouldn't know that Captain Rogers came to him because he saw the confrontation between him and Bucky in battle, and after seeing the surveillance footage, Steve felt that Phantom Knight should have known the identity of Bucky the Winter Soldier a long time ago, but he didn't say it. Moreover, judging from the monitoring, Lin Rui obviously left his hand on Bucky at the beginning, and later when Bucky fell from the corner of the wall that was blown down by the missile, Lin Rui obviously planned to save him, but unfortunately he was hit by the missile from behind.
Therefore, Steve, who now has a lot of grudges against Nick, doesn't want to go to Nick to ask about Bucky anymore, but instead comes to Lin Rui to find out about Bucky, this mysterious street hero should have information that Steve wants to know.
......
"Hello, Aunt Mei, is Peter at home?" Soon, Lin Rui came to Peter's house, and it was Aunt Mei who opened the door for Lin Rui.
"Oh, Jackson, didn't Peter go to school?" Aunt Mei, who let Jackson into the living room, asked a little strangely after hearing Lin Rui's words, Peter had already gone to school in the morning.
"Uh...... No, Peter was in school. But I made an appointment with him to do an after-school homework together after school, but he ran away first, so I found it. Hearing Aunt Mei's words, Lin Rui knew that Peter had skipped class, so in order not to worry Aunt Mei, Lin Rui lied without blushing and heartbeat.
"Well, Peter hasn't come home yet, so he might be running somewhere again. In the past two days, this little kid has not been worrying at all, and he can hardly see a human figure. If he hadn't been older, I'd have asked Uncle Ben to say a few words about him. Hearing Lin Rui's words, Aunt Mei said helplessly. It seems that she can see that something is wrong with Peter recently, but it only comes down to the agitation of adolescence. After all, Peter is not your average teenager, he is a genius.
"Well, then I won't bother Aunt Mei, I'll look elsewhere. Since Peter was not at home, Lin Rui didn't plan to stay here for long, so he took his leave and left.
"Well, Jackson, come and play when you have time. Sent Lin Rui to the door again, Aunt Mei said with a smile.
"Yes. With a promise, Lin Rui had already left Peter's house quickly.
Walking on the side of the road, Lin Rui's shadow was stretched by the setting sun for a long time, but the feeling of not being dark in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
"Peter, where the hell are you?"
