After that, Castrell's arrival did not bring any changes to New York.
As a classic example of a lonely elderly person, this old man does not have high demands on the quality of life.
In the small cemetery chapel in the suburbs of Houston, he didn't even have a TV. The most modern thing he had was an old radio.
This time, Luke installed a smart TV with a satellite receiver for him, which can be operated with verbal commands and even has a radio mode - only sound but no picture.
As long as the old man is willing, he can understand most of the news happening in the world.
The old man didn't comment on his arrangement, but the fact that he didn't refuse meant he agreed, and Luke understood that very clearly.
After the real estate agent in Luke's vest left, the old man did not enter the church. Instead, he found a big rock next to the church and sat down, quietly looking at the sea not far away.
This seaside area is not as desolate as the Texas wilderness, but it has the same vastness.
For a moment, Castre's thoughts were complicated, and he recalled countless memories that had faded away.
After a long while, he smiled to himself: "So, I once wanted to be a fisherman? Haha."
…
That day, Luke got off work on time at two o'clock in the afternoon and was cooking dinner in the kitchen.
Suddenly, Jin Nugget, who was waiting at the kitchen door, spoke up: "Boss, something happened to Claire."
Luke's eyes narrowed, and he immediately put down what he was holding and looked over: "Danger? Trouble?"
Nowadays, this guy expresses himself fluently using various interjections such as 嘤嘤嘤, 汪汪汪, and 呜呜呜.
Under normal circumstances, it would not have spoken on its own initiative.
"It shouldn't be... dangerous, but there is a high possibility of trouble. A group of well-trained armed personnel are arresting one of her casual fans. Claire wanted to stop them, but I persuaded her to stop for the time being." Nugget spoke very quickly, finishing all these words in less than three seconds.
Luke nodded and called Claire's cell phone directly, turning on the camera on her phone.
Two seconds later, Claire answered the phone, panting a little: "Luke, I'm busy here."
Luke hummed and looked at the screen projected by Xiaowo in front of him: "What are you busy with?"
Claire hesitated for a moment. Luke didn't need to give any instructions at all as the gold nuggets here were already there to give her advice.
Claire: "Someone wants to kidnap... Hey, who are you? Stop." The second half of the sentence was obviously scolding someone.
Luke narrowed his eyes and gestured to the gold nugget.
Nugget executed the order decisively, and Nugget No. 2, who was far away in Los Angeles, immediately fled with Claire.
The two men in black combat uniforms who were surrounding her were stunned to see the little girl, who had an unyielding look on her face and seemed determined to fight them to the end, turn around and run in a very strange manner, and in a few seconds she ran into the alleys around USC.
The two men in black combat uniforms couldn't help but look at each other, totally confused as to what was going on: This girl was running forward with her head turned all the way, wouldn't she bump into a wall
But the situation soon changed. A voice rang in the two men's earphones. They immediately gave up trying to figure out the problem, turned around, raised their guns and aimed at the two girls on the other side.
Luke, on his side, frowned as he looked at the phone that Gold Nugget had Claire secretly poke out from a corner upstairs: How did Lorna and Carol appear in Los Angeles and meet Claire
He called up the itinerary notes of several girls made by the smart program Butterfly (exclusive to the 3+2 super power group), which said "going to Los Angeles to attend the p!nk fan meeting."
Luke: (╯﹏╰) What the hell are fans!
At the same time, he sent a message to Carol's mobile phone.
Then Carol on the video screen changed her expression, and ran away pulling Lorna, who looked alert.
She was very agile and quickly rushed behind a roadside vehicle to block the shooting path of the two men in black combat uniforms.
Lorna reacted quickly too. She just saw Carol gesture to her to retreat and immediately did as she was told.
In the safety training courses in the previous few months, Carol's performance was better than hers and his on-the-spot judgment was more accurate than hers, which made her subconsciously follow the other party's choice.
Now, it was the turn of the two guys in black combat uniforms.
Shoot, their target today is not the two girls who accidentally broke in.
Don’t shoot, these two girls who are suspected to have super powers are about to run away again.
One of them whispered a report on the situation here, and before he said a few words, gunshots were heard on the street not far behind them.
The two men's expressions changed, and they no longer cared about the two girls who had been abandoned. They turned around and ran back with guns raised.
Luke watched the video and kept giving orders to the butterfly, asking it to direct Carol and Lorna to leave the scene quickly.
But after a moment, his expression turned ugly.
Because the gunshots were rapidly approaching the direction of Carol and the two girls, at the same time, two helicopters were also approaching quickly from a distance, and the bright searchlights were turned on.
What the hell is this! He cursed in his heart and could only let Carol and the other girl hide in the apartment building next door.
The two women quickly found an empty room. Luna used her magnetic control to open the door lock and hid inside.
On the other side, Claire also followed the command of Grandpa Gold Nugget and quickly hid in a hidden place. She watched a group of people in black combat uniforms chasing a man and a woman away, and recorded everything clearly with her mobile phone camera.
Luke's eyes widened: "WTF!?"
The man and woman being chased by the men in black combat uniforms were actually two acquaintances—Wade and Vanessa.
Wade also put an Iron Man plastic mask on his face. Vanessa's face was covered by glasses and a baseball cap, but Luke still recognized her at a glance.
Why did these two people end up in Los Angeles
This doubt was immediately answered by the intelligent program Victoria (exclusive to the V-shaped battle suit): Vanessa and Wade had just attended P!nk's fan meeting.
Luke: (*￣︿￣) Do you guys have to be so unreliable? You are already in your forties, and you have the nerve to chase after a little girl!
Compared to Carol and Lorna who escaped easily earlier, Wade and Vanessa were in much bigger trouble.
From the actions of the more than 30 men in black combat uniforms in the video, it can be seen that they are coming for the couple, or simply for Wade.
Luke wasn't too nervous at the moment.
Wade is not like Carol and Lorna, the two rookies. This guy has killed at least 100 or 200 people. He has been on the battlefield, is experienced, and is not afraid of death.
If he hadn't used most of his energy to protect Vanessa, the more than 30 men in black combat uniforms on the opposite side would have died twice.
But looking at the situation on the field, Luke felt something was wrong.
Wade is so crazy about Vanessa that he has blocked more than a dozen bullets for her.
But his behavior also made the black combat uniforms aware that a portion of their firepower was always used to block Vanessa, making it impossible for Wade to get rid of the entanglement.
Luke calculated quickly in his mind, and finally he called Wade, and then... no one answered.
(I have a family gathering, so I haven't written the third update yet. I'll make it up tomorrow. Sorry.)
