Chapter 72 Taking the Initiative to Step Into the Vortex

Kevin's silence was equivalent to answering Annie's question.

Annie laughed even happier. She laughed so happily that she couldn't even straighten her back. She leaned on Kevin's shoulder, her body shaking constantly, trying her best to suppress her laughter.

Annie laughed too much, which made Kevin speechless. He was a little embarrassed and said unhappily:

"Okay, okay, I've never had a girlfriend, and I've never slept with anyone, okay!"

"?"

As a result, when he said that, Annie stopped smiling and asked Kevin with a look as if she was looking at an alien:

"No... wait a minute, you... what you meant just now was that you never... oh my god, oh my god Jesus..."

Annie seemed to have her outlook on life collapsed, and her face was full of astonishment.

Her reaction was very exaggerated, and the look she gave Kevin was more like staring at some magical creature that didn't exist in this world.

Kevin was frightened by Annie's look, but he didn't know how to respond.

After a long while, Annie sat next to Kevin again, slightly distanced herself from him, and said politely:

"To be honest, I feel a little guilty now, no...very guilty. Sorry, I ignored your feelings. Let's start over now."

Annie's words were inexplicable, leaving Kevin with a lot of questions:

"Start over? What?"

Guilt?

How did you feel guilty? What did you do to make you feel guilty?

Kevin was confused, but saw Annie distanced herself from Kevin, stretched out her hand to Kevin and said:

"How about starting with holding hands?"

"..."

Seeing the palm stretched out in front of him and the faint smile on Annie's face, Kevin immediately understood what Annie meant.

Kevin, who felt "insulted", rolled his eyes, grabbed Anne's hand, and pulled her into his arms, with a fierce expression:

"Madam! Don't think I really don't know anything. Although I have never had a girlfriend, I have watched romance movies."

"What kind of romance movies?"

Annie suddenly asked teasingly, and Kevin had a question mark on his head again:

"?"

Aren't girls so open now?

Seeing Kevin's humiliation, Anne laughed again. She hugged Kevin's arm again and asked on his shoulder:

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, but to be honest, have you really never had a girlfriend?"

"...No."

If it's just about people, then there is indeed no.

There are two dolphins.

But that was what the deep sea did before. Kevin, now, really has never had any girlfriend.

I don't know if it was Kevin's illusion, but at that moment Kevin felt that Anne's eyes looking at him were suddenly full of tenderness and love.

Her fingers traced the clothes on Kevin's chest, and she asked in an almost seductive tone:

"Then, do you want me to teach you?"

"You teach me?"

Kevin felt insulted again, turned around and pressed Anne on the sofa:

"Don't think I don't know anything!"

"So you know a lot?"

"Of course!"

"Then do you want to try?"

"Let's try!"

This is intolerable! Anne's unbelieving expression is too insulting, Kevin can't stand this grievance!

So...

Before dinner, Kevin made Anne's eyes light up three times.

...

Lying on the bed, Kevin was lazy and didn't want to move.

Anne was beside him, with her white arms on his chest, drawing circles back and forth.

Kevin, who was already in the sage state, ignored Anne's "teasing" and lay there thinking about life.

After a while, he heard Anne sighing:

"You know, Kevin, it's hard to find a man like you in this era."

"Uh, Miss Anne, are you praising me?"

"Of course! Look at you, you don't go out and mess around, you don't use your current resources to find a girlfriend, and you don't even smoke?

"Oh my God, you know, when I was in school, even the most well-behaved girl would smoke when she got together with us!"

Not only smoking, sometimes she would smoke something stronger.

And this is not a strange thing in school, it's better to say that if you don't do this, you will appear to be out of place.

Even Anne herself, before joining the Seven, almost always smoked some tobacco.

It's just that I've quit a little now.

"Speaking of this, I actually smoked in college, but later I felt that the taste was too weird, so I gave up."

Kevin said.

He was talking about his experience in the deep sea.

Annie smiled and said:

"Even so, you are already an incredible man in my eyes, so I feel guilty. I feel like a demon who leads people to fall and defiles a pure angel."

"Puff——"

Before Anne finished her words, Kevin couldn't help laughing out loud:

"Me? Angel? If you say it's a messenger of the sea, I might agree, but you say angel..."

Kevin was overjoyed, but Anne didn't laugh. She got close to Kevin and said seriously:

"I don't care what you think. Anyway, in my opinion, you are the angel who saved me. If you weren't in the seven-man team, if you weren't by my side when I knew about Compound No. 5, I don't know what I would do...

"You saved me, Kevin. "

No matter what Kevin thinks, in Anne's eyes, he is the 'angel' who saved Anne.

If Anne didn't have Kevin as a role model in the seven-member team, if Anne investigated Compound No. 5 alone and knew the truth.

Then Anne must have been completely disappointed with life and abandoned herself to do nothing.

But because of Kevin, Anne still had a brilliant dream in her heart. She didn't fall completely and didn't really accept the company's arrangement to make unspoken transactions with some big shots.

Kevin saved Anne, even if he didn't know it.

Annie said it very seriously, and Kevin could feel it.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he stroked Anne's blonde hair and sighed:

"I...actually, I didn't think so much, I didn't even know what I did. "

Kevin laughed at himself.

Annie said that he saved her, but in fact Kevin felt that he did nothing.

He never took the initiative to do anything, at least in Kevin's opinion, except for those things he did to gain skill points, Kevin really did not take the initiative to do anything.

So Kevin felt that he could not bear Anne's praise.

"Maybe you don't think so, but you did save a lot of people, Kevin, including me."

Annie said again, and hugged Kevin again, saying a very corny sentence:

"You are a hero, Kevin, you are my hero. ”

“…”

Hero…

Starlight Annie had been saying that Kevin was a hero before, but Kevin had never really taken it seriously.

But today, Kevin, who had confirmed his relationship with Annie, heard this from his girlfriend again, and he felt differently.

Kevin had never thought about taking the initiative to do anything. He went with the flow, letting things develop naturally, and believed in the policy of "lying flat".

He would deal with things if they came to him, but if no one took the initiative to find him, Kevin would not bother to cause trouble.

But now, Kevin found that even if he did not take the initiative to take care of those things, he had changed a lot of things.

Based on Kevin's own As the center, he has been involved in many things and has been deeply involved in the vortex of this world, almost unable to get out.

Kevin is Anne's hero, a hero in the eyes of many people in Flight 37, and a hero of Indira Shetty's family.

Even if Kevin himself doesn't think so.

He has a relationship with Anne, and has a relationship with many upper-class people in Flight 37. He has also become Indira's colleague and the person in charge of [Woods].

Now even if Kevin wants to get out of the vortex, he can't do it at all. No matter how he thinks, he has been deeply trapped here and can't get out.

Kevin once again thought of what he had thought before, why didn't he quit the seven-member team.

Of course, there was a reason why he wanted to easily gain skill points through the seven-man team, but more importantly, he could no longer extricate himself.

Kevin was thinking, and Anne saw that Kevin seemed to be thinking about something, so she stopped disturbing him.

She got off the bed quietly, tidied up simply, and went into the kitchen to make dinner for Kevin.

The smoke from the kitchen drifted in, Kevin walked out of the room, looked at Anne busy in the kitchen, and thought of the Water Group that turned Anne and the original Deep Sea into superhumans, and some special ideas sprouted in his mind.

In this world, no matter what Kevin does, he can't get around the mountain called "Water Group".

Its tentacles are all over the world, and its hands are everywhere. Deep into all walks of life.

Medical, pharmaceutical, education, weapons, security, entertainment...

Such a behemoth, even if Kevin really leaves, they will definitely come back one day in the future.

The idea of ​​making enough money and then retiring is simply unrealistic.

Even the former chief scientific officer of the Water Group, the doctor who raised the motherland, was shot in the head in the end.

If Kevin wants to live a better life and enjoy life freely, what he should do is not to escape blindly and do nothing.

Instead, he should take the initiative to become a senior executive of the Water Group, or even the helmsman of the Water Group, which is Edgar's current position.

If he could make the entire Water Group his own, then no matter what Kevin did in the future, the Water Group would not stop him.

After all, it was originally his thing.

"…I understand."

"Hmm? What are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."

Kevin muttered to himself. Annie in the kitchen couldn't hear Kevin's voice because the exhaust was too loud, so she couldn't help asking.

Kevin didn't plan to tell Annie his thoughts. He casually replied to Annie "Nothing", and then came to the laptop again and opened the information of the members of [Forest].

Looking at the information of these superhuman children, Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally picked up the phone and made a call:

"Hello? It's me, Deep Sea. I want to meet Mr. Edgar. Please help me make an appointment."

Since he couldn't escape the whirlpool, he would take the initiative to go deep into it, muddy the water, and finally take it under his control.

Kevin didn't believe that he, the future king of the ocean, couldn't even handle a small whirlpool!
