The rooms in Jia Ying's compound are of typical oriental style, just like the places I visited before, but most of the matching furniture can only be considered antique style.
But apart from electric lights, there are no electronic products here, including computers.
Skye took out his cell phone out of habit, only to remember that it was damaged.
She quickly opened her backpack and took out the nano mask of her real vest, only to find that it could not be activated either.
Obviously, the so-called "disinfection procedure" just now may not eliminate biological viruses, but may damage these electronic products.
There is also an electronic chip inside the nano mask, but it is much smaller.
The chip is damaged and the mask cannot be activated.
It seems that the confidentiality measures for the afterlife are quite strict.
Skye didn't mind the damaged phone and nanomask, but it meant she couldn't use the Internet to contact Luke.
The family was together just now, so she didn't have time to think too much.
Now alone in the room, she vaguely felt that Jia Ying's attitude was a little strange.
Jia Ying's attitude towards Skye was indeed quite good.
But towards Calvin, her attitude seemed... not so intimate
Although the two have been separated for more than ten years, it is normal to act a little unfamiliar.
But Calvin stayed in China, which was still very backward at the time, for her and gave birth to Skye.
The village massacre could not be blamed on Calvin. If he had not temporarily gone out to practice medicine, he would have died together with Jia Ying.
When Calvin saw Jia Ying, he was obviously very excited, and even a blind person could see the admiration he showed.
Jia Ying did not give any positive response, and did not seem excited, as if it was just... ordinary courtesy
Thinking of this, Skye felt a little uncomfortable.
Calvin is not a good person because he went crazy after the village massacre.
In order to become stronger, he committed many illegal acts and took many lives.
But his feelings for Skye were genuine, which she could feel from the time they spent together.
It was Calvin who suggested coming to see Jia Ying.
As it turned out, Jia Ying's feelings for him weren't as deep as Skye thought, but she was indeed Skye's biological mother.
Skye thought about all this in his mind and stood alone in front of the window, not moving for a long time.
The night gradually deepened.
…
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Jia Ying took the father and daughter for a stroll in the afterlife.
Nothing happened during that time, but Skye, who had been trained in Lu-style for several years, was keenly aware that many people in the afterlife saw that her and Calvin looked a little abnormal.
She was not an expert in micro-expressions, nor did she have any talent in that area, so she wasn't quite sure what was going on.
However, those people certainly did not have curiosity or welcome in mind.
On the third day, Jia Ying came to her alone and said that he wanted to give her a test to confirm her identity as an alien.
Skye felt a little uncomfortable.
Many things are not afraid of being excessive, but are afraid of comparison.
Luke never treated her differently because of her super powers. Instead, he paid more attention to her network technology.
Skye doesn't think she needs to pass any test to prove that she is not human but another race.
She has met many bad people over the years, but also many good people.
Luke, Selina, Mindy, and the aunt at the shelter are all very nice people.
Even Charlie, the black boy who was kicked by her first and hit Dick, could not be considered a bad person, at most he was just stupid.
She couldn't think of any reason why she had to become an "Inhuman".
However, when Jia Ying smiled and hugged her to take the test, Skye could not find a reason to refuse.
Although this biological mother is not as... cute as the biological father, she is not bad either.
Exposing superpowers is not a big deal. All the Inhumans here know that they will have superpowers after awakening.
Calvin mentioned this in his message, so it was impossible for Skye to keep it secret.
However, some of the safety rules came to her mind subconsciously: People can't be without a trump card. So, I'd better use only 10% of the output power.
She knew the situation well, and noticed the surprise on Jia Ying's face during the test, and was glad that she only used 10%.
Jia Ying was extremely happy in her heart because her daughter's shock wave ability was really strong.
It can not only crush stones at will, but also has a penetrating effect.
Especially after penetrating the hard protective layer, the lethality of the shock wave is still considerable, and it is an absolute powerful combat capability.
Skye is her daughter, and she is a natural helper on her side.
Jia Ying, who was secretly happy, didn't know that her daughter not only had a trump card to keep from her, but more than one.
The so-called mountain-breaking and rock-splitting is by no means an adjective for Skye.
Breaking rocks with bare hands is only the effect of 10% power. In fact, she has not yet used the energy storage mode of the vibranium gloves.
If he really goes all out and charges a powerful blow, Skye can instantly destroy this test building and the ground together.
Even Calvin didn't know about this. After all, her dream was to become a network guru. She was an absolute gentleman and fighting and killing was not for her.
…
On the fourth day, Skye was very surprised that she didn't see Calvin at lunch.
She was very concerned about Calvin's mental state, so daily meals and chatting were an essential "observation procedure".
Calvin was also used to eating with her and was unlikely to be absent without saying hello.
She subconsciously asked Jia Ying: "Where is Dad?"
Jia Ying's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "He said he still has some things to deal with outside, and he will come to see you after he has dealt with them."
Sky frowned: I have studied psychology and rhetoric.
What does it mean to come and visit me after I have dealt with it? The father and daughter have been dependent on each other for the past month, why do they need to "visit"
You know, family reunion is Calvin's biggest wish every day.
This wish has only been fulfilled for a few days. What important matter did he have to leave suddenly and come back to "visit" his daughter when he has time
With her mind racing, she said, "Really? I know some friends who can help him with a lot of things."
Jia Ying's smile froze slightly, and she shook her head, "He said he didn't want you to get involved in those things. You know he paid a lot to get you back."
Skye was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "That's not necessary. I know what he has done for us. He is not a good man, but he is a good father."
Jia Ying looked embarrassed: "So, you have to consider him. Maybe it's a better choice to let him think you don't know."
Skye was speechless.
"Sorry, I don't think so." A low and cold voice sounded in the room.
Jia Ying and Sky were both stunned and turned their heads to look at the door.
The closed door was pushed open at this moment, and a figure changed from transparent to black and white, and stepped into the room: "It's our first meeting, please forgive me for any impoliteness."
A very authentic Mandarin voice came from under the black and white skull mask.
Jia Ying's expression changed slightly, but Skye was stunned for a moment before he realized something: "You are... Beidou?"
