Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Leaving the hospital was not difficult.

Just like when they came in, they didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

It seems that except for this security team, there is no one guarding here at all.

Kevin didn't know if this was normal, but he had left successfully anyway, so he no longer cared about it.

Compared with these, Annie's current state is the most worrying thing.

After leaving the hospital and returning to the sports car they parked nearby, Kevin was about to start the car and leave, but suddenly heard Annie ask:

"It's because you knew this that you wanted to stop me, right?"

"..."

"You already knew that, didn't you."

Annie turned her head and looked at Kevin sitting in the driver's seat.

Her eyes were slightly red, and tears accumulated in her eyes, as if she would shed tears at the next moment.

Kevin stared at her, slowly pulled up the handbrake that he had just pressed, and after organizing some words, he looked at Annie and said:

"...I met Mr. Edgar two days ago and Mr. Edgar told me."

After hearing the answer she wanted to hear, Annie closed her eyes and tears fell down her face.

Kevin was ready to hear Annie complain about why he didn't tell her sooner.

But surprisingly, Anne did not do this. She just shed tears and talked about another thing with a choked voice:

"She told me... I was chosen. From childhood to adulthood, every day, every minute, every second, I worked hard because of this 'specialness' of being chosen, but...

"Actually, there is no 'Chosen One' at all, and we are not God's children, we are just...monsters!"

Anne mentioned 'her'. Although she didn't say her name or use any pronoun, Kevin could also guess that Anne was talking about her mother.

It was her mother who injected Annie with compound No. 5 for fame and fortune, which made Annie what she is now.

And Anne is not a special case.

Except for a few people who became superhumans for other reasons, everyone else, including Deep Sea, including Maeve, was like this.

Kevin has never been very good at comforting others. Seeing Anne's emotional outburst, he could only remain silent.

After a while, he silently put down the handbrake and started the vehicle.

Kevin planned to drive around the city in an attempt to make Annie feel better.

But not long after driving, Annie, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly said:

"...take me to the airport."

"Hmm...huh? Airport!?"

Kevin instantly understood what Annie meant:

"You want to go back? But tomorrow's Faith Expo..."

"That's not important anymore."

Anne will participate in faith fairs. On the one hand, she is indeed a Catholic believer and has often participated in this event since she was a child.

It’s just that in the past, I participated as a talker, but this time I participated as a guest and listener.

On the other hand, it is also to get close to Ejiesi and find out the truth about Compound No. 5.

But now, both of these points are no longer important.

His own superpowers are not given by God, but only because of the potions of the Walt Group. There is no God at all in the world.

The truth about Ezekiel has been revealed, and his relationship with the potion is no longer a secret in Annie's eyes.

So Anne no longer has to attend any faith fairs. In contrast, she has more important things to do.

She wanted to ask her mother why she was injected with this damn medicine.

"Although I don't want to persuade you, you have to know that if you leave like this, many people will lose their jobs tomorrow..."

"Kevin!"

Annie interrupted Kevin's chatter. She took a deep breath and tried to plead with Kevin in a calm tone:

"…please."

Looking at the wet tears on Annie's face and her reddish eyes, Kevin knew for the first time that he couldn't stand to see a girl cry.

After confirming that Annie was serious, Kevin stopped talking, opened the map navigation on his phone, and went straight to the nearest airport.

While the vehicle was driving, the two did not have any more conversations.

It wasn't until Annie was sent to the airport that Kevin asked:

"When will you come back? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No, Kevin, and...thank you."

Annie thanked Kevin, and Kevin didn't know why she thanked him.

Maybe it was because he let her know the truth, or maybe it was because he sent her here.

After Annie thanked her, she turned and walked into the airport.

Kevin watched her leave until she disappeared, then restarted the vehicle and left.

After what happened today, Kevin's skill point count has indeed increased by 1 again, and the total number has reached twelve. There are only four points left to upgrade a LV4 skill to LV5.

But Kevin didn't feel much excitement. He was thinking about Annie and what happened in the deep sea.

It is not difficult to understand Anne's attitude after knowing the truth.

Not only Annie, but if Kevin is still the Kevin before, the deep sea with gills on his chest.

He'd probably be angry about it too.

Just because of their parents' selfish interests, these irresponsible parents turned their children into monsters that are incompatible with ordinary people.

Yes, Kevin and Starlight are among the winners. They have superpowers that are unmatched by ordinary people. They have become superheroes and stand in the spotlight and enjoy the love and admiration of everyone.

But there are many more people who have awakened superpowers that are like garbage, and are eventually abandoned by their parents like garbage.

Kevin actually didn't want to discuss such a heavy matter. After all, he was the beneficiary. As long as he lived well, he didn't care what he did.

But having said that, his current mood is not that good.

For the first time, he felt the urge to do something.

But he didn't know what he should do.

"…Let's go back."

Let out a breath, shake off the annoyance in your heart, and drive out of the airport.

…

"What? Are you kidding me?! The promotion has already been done and you told me that Starlight lost contact?!"

The next day, at the Faith Expo, as soon as Kevin arrived, he heard Ashley grabbing her hair and yelling into the phone regardless of her hair health.

The Faith Expo is about to start, and Starlight, as the most important guest, must be there.

Because many activities today are related to starlight.

Have a conversation with your confidant and give a scheduled speech.

All of this has been planned, and now one of the most important characters, Starlight, has lost contact?

Ashley is the person in charge of this event, or most of the activities involving superheroes.

Now that Starlight is missing, if anything goes wrong at this event, she will be fully responsible!

"Just find it for me! Contact the Crime Analysis Department and ask them to locate Starlight!"

"Ashley."

Kevin, who was drinking milk tea bought at the venue, stood up after hearing this.

He stopped Ashley from continuing and said:

"Don't disturb Xingguang today, just leave her work to me."

"What? Are you sure?"

Ashley looked into the deep sea in shock.

The moment she saw the deep sea, Ashley's tone softened a little.

Because she knows that Shenhai is no longer the person she used to be, someone she can arrange as she pleases.

Not only is Shenhai's current worth rising rapidly, there is a vague tendency to become the top of the seven-man team.

More importantly, Ashley felt something that could only be felt by the people of her motherland in the superhero who was once the last member of the Seven.

This made Ashley afraid to yell at Kevin again.

But even so, Ashley didn't want to back down from something as important as Starlight:

"I know, Deep Sea, you are very popular now, but there are other tasks today, Starlight..."

"I said, just leave it to me, do you understand?"

Taking a step forward, Kevin said seriously to Ashley.

Ashley wanted to refuse, because this was really not something that Kevin could decide with just one sentence, but facing Kevin now, Ashley was a little unable to say anything.

Until someone came in and 'rescued' her.

"If I remember correctly, you shouldn't be the protagonist today?"

The motherland man walked in from the outside and intervened in the conversation between the two with a smile.

Seeing the people from the motherland coming in, Ashley became even more nervous, while Kevin turned to look at the people from the motherland:

"You're here quite early, Captain."

"I can't compare to you. I just came here to attend the expo after condolences to the survivors of Flight 37. You are a little too eager to get to the top, Deep Sea."

Kevin and the people from the motherland were all smiling, and the scene looked quite harmonious.

But Ashley beside her just felt restless.

Although she didn't know what happened, she still understood that she shouldn't stay here now.

The protagonist will soon have a goal, well, soon!
