Mark Smith has always disliked Zhou Jia. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Little uncle, you're here. Chris immediately stood up excitedly and kissed and hugged the visitor passionately.

The visitor is like a fashion model, walking with a straight back and a tightened jaw, just walking such a short distance is pleasing to the eye. Today, Mark is dressed in casual clothes, a gray yacht jacket, white narrow-leg beach pants made of soft fabric, and a pair of casual leather shoes custom-made by John Rob, a veteran British shoe store.

Mark Smith, the youngest son of the Smith Sopranos, is Chris's uncle, but he is only five years older than Chris, and he is thirty years old this year. The relationship between the two has always been close, and from the eyes of outsiders, they will be completely confused by the appearance of the two of them. Chris is tall and handsome, a girl and a man, and Mark is a slender body, a boy and a girl, the two of them go out on the street together, amazing, and have a very high return rate.

They are often mistaken for the perfect couple, and Mark is actually Gay, and the two are more like best friends in private.

Zhou Jia hates Mark, not because he is gay, she occasionally calls herself a pseudo-rotten girl, but Mark is an exception, she just dislikes Mark.

Mark was born in England and speaks of London. Don't be deceived by his appearance, he has completely inherited the violent factor in his father's blood. Since he was a child, he has been mixing on the streets of London, because of his soft appearance, many people beat him up, but he was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

In addition to his favorite niece, who is half of Chinese ancestry, he also likes Chinese kung fu and likes Bruce Lee. Of course, there is also Chinese food, and his favorite dish is sesame chicken. Mark has loved to practice mixed martial arts since he was a child, he never competed in official competitions, because he hated the rules, and he became a street bully!

Mark would teach Chris mixed martial arts when he was fine, and he showed Chris Bruce Lee movies, and he let Chris know how good Chinese kung fu is. Of course, he is not only Chris's kung fu master, but also an enlightenment teacher in the love field.

Later, Chris hired Mark to take charge of Lancer's security and be his personal bodyguard. To be honest, Mark doesn't really look like a professional bodyguard, but in fact he is an insurmountable god in this field. On weekdays, he is as gentle as water, but once you start to use your hands, you know that water is terrifying, calm, and effective when it becomes a weapon.

"What are you guys doing here?" Mark glanced at Zhou Jia thoughtfully, and Chris hurriedly said, "My dear Uncle Di, I'm showing Xiao Jia 'Kryptonite'." ”

"You thought you were proposing to someone in that position. Mark glanced at Zhou Jia.

Chris clenched the black stone in his hand and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, you're really joking, and the proposal should be my proposal." ”

Mark said angrily: "I'll just say, how dare you not tell me, and make a private agreement with someone else for life, what a big boldness." When he said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhou Jia.

Chris shook his head again and again, "Don't dare, don't dare, my current body is under the care of my uncle, how dare I mess around." ”

"Idiot!" Zhou Jia scolded in a low voice, deliberately lowering his voice for Mark to hear.

"What did you say?" asked Mark.

"You know who I said. ”

Mark's face turned pale with anger and glared at Zhou Jia fiercely.

Chris really doesn't understand why Mark and Zhou Jia always quarrel as soon as they meet, like natural enemies.

The two people in front of him are his closest people, and Chris is not happy to see them arguing all the time.

Mark didn't give up, and asked, "It's not a marriage proposal, what are you doing kneeling down for her?"

Chris said bluntly: "Today is Xiao Jia's birthday, I am imitating a medieval knight and presenting her with the treasures obtained from the adventures in the north." ”

"If it's a treasure, why don't you give it to me?" Mark didn't care if it was Zhou Jia's birthday, he stretched out his hand and said, "I'll look at your precious stone." ”

"What she has already given me, you want to grab it too?" Zhou Jia said angrily.

Mark puffed up, "Don't think that by staying with her, you can control her. ”

"You are the cancer around her, obscene and shameless!" Zhou Jia's words were merciless, referring to the time when Mark took Chris into Fengyue Field, eating, drinking, and indulging in pleasures. "It's you, the guy who taught Chris badly. ”

"This kind of thing, the people of the Smith family don't need to teach it at all, they are born with it!"

Now it was lively, and the two of them quarreled again, and Chris subconsciously clenched his fists.

Just as the two of them wanted to continue arguing, Chris suddenly screamed, and she opened her hand, blood oozing from her palm.

The black stone in her hand suddenly changed shape, and somewhere the rounded and smooth arc became extremely sharp, piercing the flesh like a needle.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jia asked.

"Ah, maybe I held it too hard just now and cut my hand. ”

Zhou Jia walked over and grabbed Chris's palm, and with her other hand, she took out the blue medical rubber gloves she carried with her from her pocket, trying to neatly remove the foreign object stuck in the palm of her hand through the gloves.

At this moment, a small black kryptonite, like an ice cube melted by heat, turned into a liquid, and the liquid that emitted a unique light burrowed into the wound.

Everything was done in an instant, Chris didn't react, he watched the melted kryptonite disappear without a trace in an instant, and the bleeding was naturally sucked in, without even leaving a drop of blood.

The three of them had their eyes wide open and looked surprised, they had witnessed the most incredible strange thing in the world.

Chris looked at her right palm, feeling the invading area, because she didn't feel pain, her expression was just pure surprise.

Zhou Jia gasped in astonishment and exclaimed, "Oops!"

An inexplicable fear, like a poisonous snake attacking the three people present in an instant.

Chris wasn't as negative as Zhou Jia, but she understood that something extraordinary had happened to her. She looked at the concerned and anxious expression on Zhou Jia's face, and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't open her mouth.

Although Mark didn't know the severity of the situation, he was a little panicked by Zhou Jia's shout.

Mark asked, "How does it look like it's alive?"

"Quick, follow me. Zhou Jia picked up Chris and ran to the examination room.

☆☆☆

Heartbeat, blood pressure, and respiratory ...... measured After a series of examinations, Chris obediently cooperated with Zhou Jia's every physical examination.

"Do you feel anything out of the ordinary?"

Chris is an extremely intuitive person, and she is very aware of the chaos in Zhou Jia's heart.

"No, nothing. Chris smiled.

It's just that it is even more terrifying to feel nothing, Zhou Jia forced himself to calm down.

Completely unfamiliar substances, biological waves, radiation, molecular composition, what impact multiple unknown and complex factors will have on the human body, Zhou Jia has never been so flustered as he is now.

After Chris lay down in the MRI resonance chamber, Zhou Jia and Mark sat in the testing room, Zhou Jia carefully looked at each imaging MRI image, where did the damn thing that melted into her body go?

But there was nothing, nothing out of the ordinary.

Zhou Jia felt uneasy, she didn't dare to come out.

"What's the problem?" asked Mark, concerned.

Seemingly satisfied with the sincerity in Mark's tone, it seemed that saying something to others at this time would keep him from thinking nonsense, Zhou Jia replied softly: "As far as the MRI examination is concerned, no problems have been found for the time being. ”

As she said this, her eyes remained on the MRI image, as if she was afraid of missing something.

"Did you hear what I just said? I think that thing is alive!"

Of course, Zhou Jia will not miss this detail, kryptonite pierces the skin at a precise angle and with the right force, and enters the human body smoothly, but she can't find it now, is it to a place that cannot be reached by the eye?

Zhou Jia felt that she was about to split into two halves, half was calmly and abnormally analyzing, and the other was extremely scared, she had never felt so powerless.

In fact, she didn't realize that she was in a mess.

Her ignorance made Mark suddenly erupt: "I'm talking to you, can't you hear?"

"You ......" At this juncture, Zhou Jia really didn't want to fight with Mark, but she really couldn't swallow this breath, "Why do you keep targeting me?"

"I hate you black-bellied woman the most. I haven't figured out what you're up to, but ...... hum" There was an interesting sarcasm in Mark's words.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Jia turned his head and glared at Mark.

"What do I mean, you know best in your heart, you've been meeting Arthur's parents lately, and what exactly are you trying to do in your ghost lab?"

"Are you stalking me, spying on me?"

"As long as I'm here, you don't want to succeed. ”

Just as the two were arguing, Chris's breathing began to rapidize over the loudspeaker.

"What's going on?" turned on the intercom, Zhou Jia asked eagerly.

"Hot ...... It's hot. Chris's uncomfortable voice came from the intercom.

"Something is wrong!" The MRI monitor showed that Chris's brain stem activity was very active, and Zhou Jia turned and rushed out of the testing room, followed by Mark.

What they saw was a dazzling white glow from the resonance chamber, and the room heated up rapidly.

It didn't take long for the light to fade.

"What the hell is going on?" Mark was stunned.

"It's so hot!" Zhou Jia tried to open the resonance chamber, but was forced to retreat by the high temperature emitted by the resonance chamber.

When the temperature finally cooled down, Mark rushed up and struggled to open the door to the resonance chamber......

It's empty inside.

Chris disappeared without a trace.
