The world never revolves around his thoughts. There are always times when things don't go as planned, just like now.
After venting a little of his pent-up emotions, Colin put the matter behind him for the time being and dealt with more pressing matters at hand.
Of course, before that, he needed to inform Lupin to pay attention to the possible appearance of the Witch Heart Demon.
…
The bustling Manhattan has fallen into desolation at this time, and the roads that were once bustling with traffic have become empty due to the city lockdown.
An antique red car was driving on the road. Inside the car, Lupin, who was parking the car, put his cell phone back into his pocket with a headache on his face.
Soon after he got some more food to fill his stomach and went out to investigate, he received another call from the troublesome client.
And the news we got was even more trouble than trouble.
"What's wrong again, Lupin?" asked Jigen who was sitting in the back seat.
Because of the noise of the traffic, he could not hear clearly what was said on the phone.
"The wizard said that a devil might be involved, so we should be careful." Lupin replied with a sigh.
Even the devil in mythology popped up, leaving him at a loss as to what to say.
"Devil? Is that true?!"
Jigen was startled, and Goemon, who had been resting with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes at this moment.
Hearing this, Lupin shrugged and said, "That's what he said, so I guess it can't be false."
He didn't think Colin had any need to go out of his way to make up such a lie.
Jigen obviously trusted Lupin's judgment, and said with a headache: "I don't know if the gun can cause damage to the devil... Goemon, are you sure?"
Halfway through his speech, Ziyuan turned around and asked.
As a partner who had worked together for many years, he had never seen anything that Goemon could not cut through.
"I can try."
Goemon answered with some anticipation in his eyes.
To be honest he wasn't too sure before he saw it, but he was willing to try.
laugh…
As he was speaking, the car suddenly stopped, causing Goemon and Jigen in the back seat to sway.
Just when Ciyuan was about to ask why the car stopped suddenly, he saw that the car had turned into a small road, and on the main road, a large number of armored vehicles carrying soldiers were driving in one direction.
"So many soldiers, what happened?" Ciyuan was a little surprised.
Looking at the soldiers armed with live ammunition and with a solemn demeanor, one can tell that things must be very complicated.
"Who knows, but just follow them and you'll find out." Lupin answered with a confident smile.
He was wondering where to start his investigation, and now, a ready-made opportunity had arrived.
As the main force left, Lupin started the vehicle and hung far behind the armored vehicle.
Jigen and Goemon looked at Lupin's risky move but didn't care.
It was dangerous for sure, but it was something they were used to.
…
Alex, who has changed into another face, is now investigating his lost memories and the truth in the city of Manhattan.
Ever since he had a complete confession with Dana's friend Skye last night, he had a powerful assistant on the Internet.
Surveillance, intelligence... Skye's presence made him less cautious when taking action, and his efficiency increased greatly.
In return for helping him, he also promised Skye that after this matter was over, he would help Skye find her long-lost parents.
"Alex."
Skye's voice came from the headset. Alex, who was walking towards a research institute that seemed to be closely related to his physical changes based on the clues from the investigation, asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
There is no doubt that Sky's existence helps him, but there is one thing that gives him a headache.
This woman who is the same age as his sister is so curious! !
Ever since he saw him transform and display his extraordinary powers through surveillance, all kinds of strange questions have come up one after another, making him furious.
As a friend of his sister and a partner who helps him, it is difficult to say harsh words, and ordinary rejection has no effect on Sky because of the relationship between the Internet.
So far, he can only ignore it.
"There are troops heading towards you." Sky said nervously on the other end of the line.
She hacked into Manhattan's traffic management department and through surveillance, she could see that a large number of soldiers were rushing towards Alex's location.
"The army? Looking for me?"
Alex frowned as he listened. He didn't think that he had left any loopholes in his actions that would allow someone to catch up with him.
"No, maybe they're not looking for you." Skye rejected her previous judgment. After a burst of keyboard typing, her slightly relaxed voice came: "The army stopped at the experimental base you were about to investigate. Something must have happened there. Alex, I think you'd better give up this investigation."
Skye made suggestions sincerely.
From the surveillance, we can see that nearly a thousand soldiers are converging there through different intersections. Even though Alex has the ability to transform, in her opinion, it is still too dangerous.
"Give up? No, the fact that these troops have blocked the city shows that there are very serious problems there." Alex quickened his pace and asked, "Skye, can you see what happened in the experimental base?"
He had a hunch that he would be able to figure out some things once he got there.
"Fuck! You will die!" Looking at the red dot on the computer moving rapidly towards the research base, Skye cursed, but still had to help Alex.
Not to mention that he is her best friend's brother, even for her own sake, and for Alex's promise to help her find her parents, she must try her best.
His hands left afterimages on the keyboard. After a moment, he looked at the red box that popped up on the computer. Skye bit his lower lip and said, "The experimental base should be physically isolated from the outside world. I have no way to invade. Listen, Alex, we will have a chance later. Now..."
Hereby…
A shrill beeping sound suddenly came from the speaker. Skye widened his eyes as he watched the red dot on the computer disappear instantly.
Damn, why does Dana have a brother with such a bad personality!
"I hope you get caught sooner or later, you bastard!"
He cursed hatefully, looked at the screen, gritted his teeth, and put his hands on the keyboard again.
After all, she couldn't just let it go so easily.
Outside the experimental base building.
Black Watch soldiers dressed in black and wearing protective gear on their heads have surrounded the entire building.
Alex stood on the roof of a building, transformed his body into that of a Blackwatch soldier, and jumped down.
The reason he destroyed Skye's communicator was not because of Skye's nagging, but mainly because he was afraid of being discovered during the infiltration.
At this moment when Skye's role is almost nothing to him, he will not take the risk.
He successfully sneaked into the encirclement, looked at the building in front of him that exuded a dangerous atmosphere, and strode in.
