Chapter 60 Annie's Departure

It was not difficult to leave the hospital.

Just like when they came in, no one noticed it at all.

It seemed that except for this security team, there was no one guarding here.

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

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

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

"You wanted to stop me because you knew all this, right?"

"..."

"You knew it a long time ago, 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. She looked as if she would cry the next moment.

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

"... Mr. Edgar told me when he met me two days ago."

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

Kevin was ready to listen to Annie's complaints, such as blaming him for not telling her earlier.

But surprisingly, Annie did not do so. She just shed tears and choked up when she talked about another thing:

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

"In fact, there is no "chosen by God" at all, and we are not God's children. We are just... monsters! "

Annie mentioned 'her', although she didn't say her name or any alias, but Kevin could guess that Annie 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 Annie is not an exception.

Except for a few people who became superhuman for other reasons, everyone else, including Deep Sea and Maeve, is like this.

Kevin has never been good at comforting people. Seeing Annie's emotional outburst, he had nothing to do but keep silent.

After a while, he silently released the handbrake and started the car.

Kevin planned to drive around the city, trying to make Annie feel better in this way.

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

"... Take me to the airport."

"Um... um? Airport! ? "

Kevin instantly understood what Annie meant:

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

"That's not important anymore. "

Annie will attend the Faith Expo. 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 she used to participate as a confidant, but this time she participated as a guest and listener.

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

But now, these two points are no longer important.

The superpowers are not given by God, but only because of the potion of the Water Group. There is no God in the world.

And the truth about Ikkisi has been found out, and his relationship with the potion is no longer a secret in Anne's eyes.

So Anne no longer needs to attend any Faith Expo. In comparison, she has more important things to do.

She wants to ask her mother why she was injected with this damn potion.

"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 chattering, she took a deep breath, and tried to plead with Kevin in a calm tone:

"...Please. "

Looking at the tears on Annie's face that had not yet dried and her slightly red eyes, Kevin also realized for the first time that he could not bear to see a girl cry.

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

During the driving process, the two did not have any more conversations.

Until Annie was sent to the airport, Kevin asked:

"When will you be 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.

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

After thanking her, Anne turned and walked into the airport.

Kevin watched her leave until her figure disappeared, then he restarted the car and left.

After what happened today, Kevin's skill points were indeed +1 again, and the total number reached 12 points. There were only four points left to upgrade a LV4 skill to LV5.

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

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

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

He would probably be angry about this.

Just because of the parents' self-interest, these irresponsible parents turned their children into monsters that are incompatible with ordinary people.

Yes, Kevin and Xingguang are among the successful ones. They have superpowers that ordinary people can't match. They become superheroes and stand in the spotlight to enjoy the love and admiration of everyone.

But there are more people who awaken superpowers like garbage and are finally abandoned by their parents like garbage.

Kevin actually doesn't want to discuss such heavy things. After all, he is a beneficiary. As long as he lives well, why bother so much.

But having said that, his mood now can't be said to be very good.

For the first time, he has an impulse to do something.

But he doesn't know what he should do.

"... Go back."

Exhaled, threw away the boredom in his heart, and drove away from the airport.

…

“What? Are you kidding me?! The publicity has been done and you told me that Xingguang has lost contact?!”

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

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

Because many activities today are related to Xingguang.

Talk to the talker and give a scheduled speech.

All the schedules have been arranged, but now one of the most important characters, Xingguang, has lost contact?

Ashley is the person in charge of this event, or in other words, she is responsible for most of the activities related to superheroes.

Now Xingguang is missing. If there is any problem with this event, she will be fully responsible!

“Just find her! Contact the Crime Analysis Department and let them locate Xingguang!”

“Ashley.”

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

He stopped Ashley from continuing and said:

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

"What? Are you sure?"

Ashley looked at Shenhai in astonishment.

When she saw Shenhai, Ashley's tone instantly weakened.

Because she knew that Shenhai was no longer the person she could arrange at will.

Not only was Shenhai's current value rising rapidly, but he was also vaguely showing a trend of becoming the top of the Seven.

More importantly, Ashley felt something that could only be felt in Homelander from the superhero who was once the last of the Seven.

This made Ashley no longer dare to yell at Kevin.

But even so, Ashley didn't want to back down from such an important matter as Xingguang:

"I know, Shenhai, you are very popular now, but there are other tasks today, and Xingguang..."

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

Stepping forward, Kevin said to Ashley seriously.

Ashley wanted to refuse, because this was not something Kevin could decide with just one sentence, but facing Kevin now, Ashley couldn't say it.

Until someone came in and "saved" her.

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

Homelander walked in from outside and smiled and inserted into the conversation between the two.

Seeing Homelander coming in, Ashley became more nervous, and Kevin turned to look at Homelander:

"You came early, Captain."

"You are not as good as me. You just came here to attend the Expo after visiting the survivors of Flight 37. You are a little too eager to get promoted, Deep Sea."

Kevin and Homelander were smiling, and the scene looked quite harmonious.

But Ashley on the side just felt restless.

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

The protagonist soon had a target, um, very soon!
