Chapter 39 Anne's Decision

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

After closing the door, Kevin asked Annie first.

Annie paused for a moment and stood with her back to Kevin for a while, as if struggling with something.

After a while, she turned around and said:

"First...tell me about yourself, what do you want to tell me?"

Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Annie for a few seconds, and then pointed at Kimiko who was watching TV:

"Of course it's her. I mean, you don't really want to keep her here with me, do you? After all, I'm a man."

"You mean you can't help but be beastly with her?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Please understand the difficulties of a single man, miss."

Kimiko has a good foundation and is a beauty. Although she is not within Kevin's hunting range, it is hard not to have thoughts when such a beauty lives in his own home.

After all, Kevin has been a single dog in his past and present lives, with only Xiao Zuo and Xiao You accompanying him...

Kevin felt that what he said made sense, but he didn't expect that Annie suddenly laughed out loud after hearing this:

"Pfft."

"?"

"Ah, no... Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I just think you're not the kind of person who would do such a thing."

Annie said with a smile.

She seemed to trust Kevin very much and felt that Kevin would not do the things he said, but Kevin felt that Annie seemed to be looking down on him.

"So you think I can't do it?"

"No, how could it be! Why did you think of this..."

Annie subconsciously refuted, and then she realized that the topic seemed to be running towards something that could not be said, and hurriedly said:

"OK, let's put this aside for now. I came here today to talk to you about the Water Group."

"Finally willing to talk about business?"

Seeing that Annie became serious, Kevin stopped joking. He motioned Annie to follow him to the kitchen and let her sit at the dining table next to the kitchen.

After pouring a glass of juice for Annie, Kevin sat opposite Annie and said:

"Let me hear what you think."

Annie put her hands on the table, intertwined her fingers, and hesitated to speak. After repeating this several times, she spoke slowly:

"I... think this is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"It's wrong to turn a blind eye to what the Water Group, the locomotive and the Homelanders did.

"Don't interrupt me first. I know the Water Group is powerful, and I also know that the Homelanders are powerful. Just like you said, the water in this matter is very deep.

"If we get involved too deeply, our end may not be too good. You have told me these many times, and I understand them, but..."

Annie raised her head and looked at Kevin sincerely:

"But if I really turn a blind eye to this matter, I will feel uneasy.

"Kevin... My dream since childhood is to be a hero, and turning a blind eye to the victims and letting the perpetrators do whatever they want, I don't think this is what a hero should do. "

When Anne said this, her eyes seemed to be emitting light.

Kevin's eyes met hers, and he felt the sincerity hidden in them.

The world of black robes may not be a very good world. Most of the superheroes in this world are actually bastards, but even so, there are superhumans who really want to be heroes.

Starlight Anne is such a person.

No matter what her background is, no matter whether her mother injected her with Compound No. 5 for honor or money, in short, she was trained to be a superhero with a dream of justice.

Such people are extremely rare in the world of black robes.

Kevin even thought that Anne should not appear in the world of black robes. The world of Marvel and the world of DC are more suitable for her stage.

It's a pity that she is in the world of black robes.

But even so, Starlight is still working hard for her dream and fighting for her future.

"I understand."

The girl in front of him was very serious. Kevin thought for a while, sat up straight, and said to her very seriously:

"It seems that you have thought of everything. ”

“Yeah.”

“Then you won’t regret it later?”

“I don’t know…”

Annie was very honest:

“I don’t know if I will regret it in the future, but I am sure that if I turn a blind eye to this matter, I will definitely regret it in the future.”

This sounds good.

Kevin complained in his heart, but Anne’s choice was also something Kevin had expected a long time ago, and he was prepared for it.

“Okay, since you have made up your mind, from now on, no matter what you do, you have to listen to me.”

After thinking for a while, Kevin said seriously.

Annie nodded repeatedly, had no opinion on this, and asked:

“Do you have a plan?”

"Actually, before you came, my plan was to just eat and wait for death in the Water Group, so you want to ask me if I have a plan? Sorry, I really don't have one."

"..."

"Don't show that expression. Although I don't have a plan, I have some ideas.

"It is definitely not a one-day thing for the Water Group to use human bodies for experiments, and now what we need to do is to find the drug that the locomotive injected into Kimiko."

"The drug that can turn humans into superhumans!"

"Yes, we must at least figure out what this drug is, and then figure out why they create superhumans. "

Kevin said clearly.

Although he had known what the potion was, his character was not aware of it. Since Starlight liked to play hero games, Kevin cooperated with her and played the game.

While gaining skill points, he extended the time to fight against the Water Group.

The Water Group has the means to deal with superhumans, and its Godokin University's [Woods] organization will develop a virus against superhumans in the future.

Kevin is a superhuman after all, and the Water Group is actually a threat to Kevin. This is not something that can be solved by whether he listens or not.

Since we will always face each other in the future, it is better to use Starlight and Black Robe to cause some trouble for the Water Group first.

Hearing Kevin's plan, Anne's expression was obviously much brighter, and she asked excitedly:

"What do you have now?"

"Coincidentally, I do have a target. "

Kevin said, taking out his phone and calling up a person's profile photo.

This is a photo found on Wikipedia. The person in the photo is also a superhuman, and also a superhero, but the field he works in is different from that of ordinary superheroes.

He is a missionary.

"He is - Ezekiel?"

Annie asked in astonishment after seeing the person in the photo.

This surprised Kevin:

"Huh? Do you know him?"

"Of course, you won't forget what I believe in, right?"

"Oh, that's right, you are a Catholic... Well, that's perfect, I'll leave this guy to you to investigate."

Thinking of Anne's family, Kevin suddenly realized and handed this task to Anne.

Annie hesitated and asked:

"Is he related to this potion?"

"I don't know, but that day in the basement where Kimiko was imprisoned, in the waste box where the potion was injected, I found an address related to him. In short, he must have clues, the difference is how many clues there are. "

"I understand. Leave this to me. It happens that he will have a faith expo in half a month. I will also attend it then."

Annie is a Catholic, and she is a very pious and traditional one.

Because of this identity, Anne needs to attend the faith expo of Yijiexi in a while as a guest, so as to make profits for the Water Group.

And this is a good opportunity for Anne to contact Yijiexi.

After discussing the general process, Anne's entangled things in her heart were completely put aside. She acted quite relaxed in front of Kevin, and even had the mood to joke with Kevin:

"I just thought about it, and you threw out the clues. You didn't want to investigate secretly behind my back a long time ago, did you?"

Kevin: "?"

I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Seeing Anne's half-smile, Kevin knew that this guy must have misunderstood something again, and hurriedly explained:

"No, I just checked a little... well, a little bit about what kind of person this guy is. If you didn't come, I would definitely keep this news to myself. "

"Hmm, let's just assume it is so."

"What do you mean by just assume it is so..."

Ding——

Kevin was trying to appeal to Annie's emotions and reason to explain his nature as a 'salary thief', but at this moment, the timer reminder sound from the kitchen interrupted their conversation.

It was the dish that Kevin had put in the food processor before, and it seemed to be done.

The sound attracted Annie's attention.

She looked at the kitchen in surprise at first, and after confirming what was in the kitchen, she turned to look at Kevin and said incredulously:

"Wait a minute, you actually use a food processor to cook?"

"Is there anything wrong with technology changing life?"

"Don't you think the food cooked by the food processor is unpalatable?"

"Uh... I don't think it's that unpalatable..."

Kevin recalled the difference between the food cooked by the food processor and ordinary dishes, and answered while touching his chin.

Annie rolled her eyes at Kevin, stood up, rolled up her sleeves and said:

"It seems that I need to let you know the difference between manual and machine. ”

“…The dishes for the food processor are already ready.”

“No, don’t even think about asking me to eat the nasty food made by the machine!”

Annie was strangely firm in this regard, saying so, and went straight into the kitchen.

Seeing Annie busy in the kitchen, Kevin couldn't persuade her anymore. Just then, Kimiko came over from the living room. Kevin complained to Kimiko directly:

"Do you also think she's making a fuss?"

Kimiko didn't answer, but just took the handwriting board beside her and raised it to Kevin.

——I'm hungry.

It says this.

Kevin blinked and was about to answer, but he saw Kimiko wiped off the words on the board, wrote another line, and raised it to Kevin again:

——But I don't want to eat bad food either.

Kimiko said, turning her eyes to the food processor.

Kevin: "..."

Okay.

Kevin, who knew what Kimiko meant, sighed helplessly. He looked at Xingguang who was busy in the kitchen and said reluctantly:

"...Okay, I'll go help."

Not only was Kimiko hungry, he was actually hungry too. In order to have dinner quickly, he seemed to have to help.
