"You mean Mike Ann might be a spy sent by Columbia, but how can he be a mechanic and a spy?"
"That's not good."
Shi Huaiya nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense. I will keep an eye on him, but when I stood next to him today, I seemed to see him staring at your headband. Is there anything special about your headband?"
Lin Yuxia didn't think much about it and reached out to take off the hairband. When Shi Huaiya tried to take it, she was rejected.
"No, I cannot give you this item. It is very valuable to me."
"It's just a headband. Is it a gift from your boyfriend?"
Everyone knows that Lin Yuxia doesn't have a boyfriend, and Shi Huaiya is no exception. However, Miss Zaklak said noncommittally: "He gave it to me as a token of love."
Shi Huaiya was confused at first, but then her expression turned into a mockery: "I never thought that there would be such a day in Longmen Gray Forest. The gift that man gave you was so important. Why didn't you accept him when he confessed to you?"
17. Blame Chen Huijie
It was a very quiet afternoon. Lin Yuxia happened to come to Rhode Island for business, and she met him in the office.
He is not tall and is small in stature, but his eyes are exceptionally bright and his whole body seems to have endless energy, and he handles things quickly and well.
In fact, this was not Lin Yuxia’s first visit to Rhode Island, and she had also learned about this person from other people’s conversations, but that was how others described him, not how she thought of him.
"Ms. Lin, it's nice to meet you in Rhodes Island."
This is a very common greeting, as common as meeting a neighbor while taking a walk and the other person casually asking if you have eaten.
Out of politeness, Lin Yuxia also responded that she felt relaxed after coming to Rhode Island.
Who would have thought that just with this greeting, the doctor actually asked her to go with him to relax near the base.
Although it felt quite sudden, Lin Yuxia still nodded in agreement. She wanted to know more about this man and understand why he occupied such an important position in the letter that Chen Huijie wrote to her.
That day, Lin Yuxia went out for the first time in her life with a man she had just met not long ago. The two of them drove past the land cruiser. They talked a lot along the way and it was also a time for them to truly let go of themselves.
The doctor doesn't know where he was born. He has been everywhere, and living anywhere in the world is like a common occurrence for him.
Lin Yuxia was born and raised in Longmen. Longmen is her whole life and everything in her life.
The two talked about their families again. Lin Yuxia was pleasantly surprised to find that the doctor was also a man who paid attention to family life. Compared with her father, the Rat King Lin Gerui, he cared more about guiding and educating his children. The children in Rhodes Island all liked him very much.
The only drawback is that the doctor no longer has any family, or rather, his current family is the operators of Rhodes Island.
Lin Yuxia secretly thought that if she could have met the doctor earlier, perhaps some of her past regrets could have been made up for.
Unfortunately, the past cannot be undone, and they can only keep moving forward.
Finally, the two talked about their respective ideals in life. The doctor believed that the Originium disease should be dealt with as soon as possible, as the infected people in this land had suffered too much.
However, Lin Yuxia holds a skeptical view.
Miss Lin does not think that curing Originium disease will allow the infected to obtain the social status they deserve, and these sufferings will not happen.
On the contrary, among the various problems facing Terra today, Originium disease is only a less important cause.
The doctor said that we can only take it step by step and there is no point in being impatient. After all, given the size of Rhodes Island, some things are too difficult to do.
The exchange was very thorough. Lin Yuxia deeply realized what kind of person the doctor was. The doctor also said that Miss Lin was very wise and righteous, and was as capable as any man, which was rare in the world.
Considering the flattery content, Ms. Lin just listened to it casually and didn't take it seriously.
Then they came to the local transfer station, where a riot broke out. In order to protect the doctor, Lin Yuxia used her Originium skills and accidentally broke her headband.
"He was so weak, but he insisted on standing in front of me. Every time I think about it, I find it funny. Can this show his masculinity?"
Lin Yuxia said this, reached out to take off the hairband, held it in her hand, her eyes full of memories of the past.
Shi Huaiya asked in a low voice: "Is this what he gave you as compensation later?"
"Yeah, it's just a ten-dollar street stall item, not something valuable."
"You didn't dare to tell him that you liked him, and when he confessed, you rejected him. You really are..."
Lin Yuxia's voice became colder: "It's all because of Chen Huijie. If I agree, how can I face her later?"
"…Forget it, let's not talk about you. The doctor is gone, so what's the point of talking about this anymore?"
"Shi Huaiya, I have to remind you that what happened in Longmen recently is not suitable for disclosure to the outside world. It is definitely not aimed at you. We just don't want you to be in danger."
Lin Yuxia's serious attitude made Shi Huaiya frown. She didn't seem to be lying.
But is this worthy of the responsibilities on your shoulders?
Shi Huaiya said briefly: "Tell me if you need anything. I don't want to be criticized for being useless."
……
Texas had a dream, in which he returned to Syracuse.
It was raining continuously and there was no sunshine for several days. A black car was driving fast on the road, and the high-speed spinning wheels splashed water, and pedestrians on the roadside were trying to avoid it.
This is her past, a past that cannot be escaped.
But this was not the memory she wanted.
The scene suddenly changed and returned to Rhodes Island. The Doctor stood on the bridge, his mouth opening and closing, as if he was saying something to her.
Texas wanted to get closer, but when she tried to move forward, it was only a dozen meters away, but she couldn't get any closer even after running a hundred meters.
Suddenly, a bright light shone on her face, dazzling, bright and hot.
Texas is awake.
The Luper opened his eyes and saw the pretty little face of his companion.
It would be better if the halo wasn't pressed against her face.
"Angel, you're too close to me!"
Texas felt a sore throat, a hoarse voice, and difficulty speaking.
Not only her throat, but her head also felt swollen, as if someone had hit her hard with a hammer.
"Texas, you finally woke up. Everyone was worried about you."
The Luper turned around and looked around, and sure enough, it was Sora, Croissant, and the Emperor.
Neng Tian said in an exaggerated tone: "Texas, you know, you have been sleeping for a whole day and night. We were just discussing that if you haven't woken up yet, we should consider sending you to the hospital."
Kong also added: "The boss said to let Sister Exiah wake you up in the usual way. If that doesn't work, send you to the hospital. Fortunately, you have woken up."
After learning the whole story, Texas cast a grateful look at the emperor next to him.
The old penguin held a cigar in his beak and said vaguely: "You are my employee, I should be responsible for you, otherwise who will work for me in the future?"
The Luper people took this as the boss's arrogance, as the emperor always was.
In Texas' memory, she drank the glass of wine that her boss gave her, and she had no idea what happened afterwards.
"You should be thankful that this glass of wine worked. In fact, I'm more curious about who you came into contact with before you came back. That person should have provided you with greater help."
"What do you mean?"
"When you fought those things, you took on too much of their aura. Not only is it dangerous, but it will also spread to a certain extent, which is something no one wants to see."
The emperor's words reminded Texas, and a figure emerged in his mind.
The owner of the repair shop, Mike.
18. Mastema's Regret
He is just the owner of a car repair shop, and there is nothing eye-catching about him. Why are all the recent events related to him?
Texas was puzzled.
Fortunately, they had some connections, and the red sports car was being repaired at Mike's place, so it was natural for him to find an opportunity to get in touch with him.
"I asked some friends in Syracuse to help out at the repair shop. I wonder how things are going now?"
The emperor shook his head and said, "Croissant has prepared some equipment for you. It should be much easier for you to deal with those things next time. The money will be deducted from your salary. If you need it, you can ask Archangel to help you share some of the burden."
The Angel said, "Do I want one too?"
"This is mainly a problem you are responsible for. No one else can help. You don't want Texas to bear so much alone, right?"
Although the boss' tone sounded strange, the little angel still agreed with him. In the Penguin Logistics team, Texas and Angel have a very good relationship, almost inseparable. She couldn't find a reason to refuse when asked for help.
But now Texas was very dissatisfied with Angelica's actions. She reached out and pushed her partner's face away. There was no other way. The halo was too close and too dazzling. She still had a headache.
"That's not good, Texas, I just helped you..."
"Thank you, thank you very much, but please stay away from me."
Seeing the playfulness between these two bickering lovers, other employees of Penguin Logistics felt relieved, thinking that there would be no problems at least in the short term.
Croissant said worriedly, "It's still unknown how effective those equipment will be. Why are we involved in such a troublesome matter?"
The emperor was silent for a few seconds before he said, "This trouble was discovered by the Angel, and Texas took the initiative to get involved. As for you two, she didn't want you to get involved. I think so too."
Kong looked at Texas with some worry. From the abnormality of the Luper people, it was clear how difficult the situation was. Not letting them participate was also to protect them.
"Don't worry, Longmen has some helpers who are good at handling these things. It won't be a big problem."
……
"We are mainly trying to find this man named Capone, the leader of the Syracuse family. He was last seen in the outer ring of Longmen. His family members helped him buy a lot of emergency supplies. According to the clues passed on by the surveillance personnel at several entrances and exits of the outer ring of Longmen, Capone has not left Longmen."
Liberi, with her fiery red hair, read the contents of the document carefully, but she did not get any response. When she looked up, she found that the fallen angel was in a daze.
"Hey, did you hear what I just said?"
The fallen angel turned his head slightly and said, "You said that Capone disappeared in the outer ring of Longmen and took away a batch of supplies. This means that he is prepared to hide for a long time. It is not easy to find such a person in a short time."
You guy...
Liberi knew that the fallen angel had listened to her description, but the lazy look on his face really made her unhappy.
"I know you were moved by the scene after coming to Longmen, but it shouldn't be this serious. That doctor confessed to me, and I thought he was joking, and it was true. Why do you look so upset? Mostima, you are not this kind of person. Where did the old you go?"
The fallen angel smiled. There were so many people in this land, but only a few could really interest her. Even Liberi in front of her was just someone sent by Justice to monitor her. He was good enough as a friend, but not as a confidant who understood each other best.
"The doctor is an interesting person and makes me curious, but it's a pity that he didn't understand what I meant."
Three months ago.
Mastema returned to Rhodes Island for the last time and saw the man on the deck.
He was still wearing a black coat as usual, leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance. The oncoming wind blew up his medium-length hair, and his thin face was full of sadness.
The fallen angel was very surprised and wanted to ask his good friend what happened, but he didn't know how to start.
"Mastema, I like you."
When these words were spoken, the fallen angel was visibly stunned. It was the first time he heard such straightforward words.
But no matter how she looked at the doctor's expression, she didn't show the joy she had when he confessed his love, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Could it be a truth or dare game with others, or a prank?
Mostima thought for a moment and said seriously, "If the doctor really wants to confess to me, he should change the time, place, and mood."
The fallen angel's cheeks flushed slightly as she said this, she could feel her cheeks getting hot and her heartbeat quickened as if she had stepped on the accelerator.
Just as she said, if the Doctor had changed the scene and confessed his feelings when the two of them were alone together, he would not have given her any chance to refuse.
The doctor's expression was very stiff, and he murmured, "That's right, you will reject me too, I know it."
Is this really a rejection?
Looking back on this past experience now, Mostima understood why the Doctor was so sad at the time.
He was rejected so many times that he lost confidence. When he confessed his love to himself and said "I love you", deep down in his heart he had already prepared himself to be rejected.
However, Mostima did not notice anything unusual about the doctor at the time, nor did he know what was going on.
It was an accident, a miss, and in the end they lost each other.
Just as what is said in many third-rate romance novels, the hero and heroine saw each other on the street, and when they wanted to get closer, they were separated by a bus that happened to drive by. When the bus went away, they could no longer find each other and continued to be swept forward by the surging flow of people. In the end, all that was left was missing each other.
Red Liberi asked, "Do you regret it now?"
"Yes, I regret that I didn't realize his feelings earlier, and I regret that I didn't agree to it to comfort him. Now that he has passed away, I can't blame him any more, so it's all my fault."
Mostima's regret was not only reflected in her mood. When she learned that the doctor had passed away and the suicide note stated that he was rejected by everyone, the overly sad fallen angel resolutely cut off her long hair.
