My Marvel Super Girlfriends Chapter 344: The heart of the North Star, the dying city
Remember [New] in one second! Future Chronicle Headquarters, top office.
There is a bang.
Xi Nian, wearing a steel armor, fell from the sky and returned to the open-air balcony on one side. The French windows on the top floor opened, and the green-haired girl in a suit and men's clothing quickly came out of it.
In an instant, Xi Nian realized that there should be a change in the No. 1 target.
After all, with the proud character of the boss, he would never specially greet him as a younger brother.
Sure enough.
Lorna said directly and calmly: "Pietro is gone."
"Missing?" Xi Nian's face darkened, and he walked into the office that looked like a luxury suite.
"Master, this is the surveillance video of Target No. 1's home five minutes ago." Alice called up the virtual projection while reporting quickly.
It can be seen that under the surveillance camera is the perspective of Pietro's room.
Five minutes ago.
Pietro was wearing pajamas, sitting cross-legged on his bed and playing a video game, his hands were crackling, and the speed of his fingers turned into blurred afterimages, so that the game characters in the video game couldn't keep up with him operational feedback.
Right now.
Pietro looked down at the electronic watch on his left wrist, as if thinking of something, his face changed slightly, and he threw the battle-damaged handle aside——
Then.
The handle has not landed yet.
In the next frame of the surveillance video, Pietro disappeared directly on the bed, his whole body seemed to evaporate!
If someone else watched this scene in the surveillance video, he might be scared to death.
But Xi Nian is obviously used to Chaofan.
"Where did this kid go at night?" Xi Nian muttered to himself.
Both he and Lorna knew very well that Pietro hadn't disappeared. It's that the opponent's speed is too fast, exceeding the frame rate that the surveillance camera can capture.
Since there is no sign of Pietro in the house.
Explanation, the other party is out...
"Boss, don't worry, I will find him." Xi Nian looked at Lorna who was standing aside, stretched out his hand to hold the other's clenched right hand, and comforted him firmly.
He knows, don't look at Lorna as domineering, as if she doesn't care about everything.
In fact, it is the same as three years ago, cold outside and hot inside, and he is extremely concerned about his family.
Therefore, when dealing with current affairs, I will lose my calmness and composure in the past.
But, it's okay.
Xinian smiled.
If you can't do it, let the little brother help you achieve it. This is the little brother's obligation!
…
Lorna did not shake off Xi Nian's hand as usual, and let the young man gently hold it.
Watch the virtual projection while Xi Nian.
Lorna glanced sideways at the young man's handsome face, looking at the young man who took this matter seriously as his own.
She did not expect that she, who was always independent in the past and believed that everything could be achieved by herself, would one day be so dependent on others.
Every time the other party is by her side, Lorna finds that she will become weak.
The hard shell of self-disguise since childhood will always be inadvertently uncovered by the other party to reveal the inner softness.
Because I'm the younger brother, it doesn't matter.
Every time, Lorna would use this as a voice to comfort herself, and then step by step she fell inward, and when encountering things, she would immediately think of the existence of this most special little brother, and instinctively want to rely on it.
Lorna found that when Xi Nian was around, she felt more like a woman.
"So, is it like this..." Lorna whispered to herself, her light green eyes were clear and translucent, as if she had realized something at this moment.
"Boss, what are you talking about?"
Gu</span> Xi Nian glanced at her blankly, and did not forget to issue an order to Alice: "Use all the satellites of the future calendar, scan the global surveillance network, and find out where Pietro is as soon as possible."
"It's nothing." Lorna shook her head lightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Her right hand, which had been clenched into a fist, relaxed, and was wrapped by Xi Nian's big hand.
…
Sokovia.
This is a landlocked, mountainous, poor and turbulent small country without resources in Eastern Europe.
It is said that it is a country, but it is actually the size of a city.
At this time, Sokovia, inside the city.
Wearing peaked caps and masks, a man and a woman are holding hands and walking side by side on the street, like travelers from outside, showing a pair of light green and light blue eyes respectively.
"Is Pietro really here?" The girlfriend looked around and asked curiously.
"Alice tracked the location of the mobile phone he carried with him, and it's here." The overly young male companion shrugged and replied with a little surprise.
The current location is nearly thirteen time differences from New York, which is more than one hemisphere away.
So, it's still night in New York.
It is already a new day in the city of Sokovia. The sun is rising from the dome of the snow-capped mountains in the east, beams of brilliant golden light are falling on the city, and the cold white mist in the early morning melts in the air.
Pietro, who ran so far away in less than five minutes...
"Little brother, I don't think it's right. I feel very uncomfortable here." Lorna leaned closer to Xi Nian and said in a low voice.
"I feel the same way."
Xinian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the spider sensor swept out, and he could see many ragged locals behind the two of them, staring at them with empty and strange eyes.
The streets and alleys here are narrow and dilapidated, and the buildings seem to be left over from World War II, with a smell of gunpowder smoke. Only scattered local residents can be seen, and words such as prosperity have nothing to do with it.
In addition to the snow-capped mountains surrounding the city, it is not like the so-called Xanadu, but more like a large city prison!
Right now.
At the corner of a street in front of you, there was a burst of joyful voice, which washed away the coldness and depression of the city.
Xinian and Lorna looked at each other, and stepped forward at the same time.
It can be seen that there is a street corner not far away.
More than a dozen local children in shabby clothes surrounded a silver-haired boy wearing goggles, with small gray faces waving forward and stretching out his arms with expectation.
"Don't worry, everyone has a share, everyone has a share!"
Pietro grabbed handfuls of candies from his windbreaker pocket and stuffed them into the little hands of local children.
Watching this scene by the wall, Xi Nian and Lorna glanced at each other~IndoMTL.com~ It turned out that this was the reason why the other party was in a hurry to go out.
I thought it was a crisis.
Xi Nian was a little dumbfounded, but the smile on his face disappeared very quickly.
Under the eyes of death.
The black mist on Pietro's body condensed more and more, and it has completely lingered all over his body!
More than that.
Xi Nian looked towards Pietro, and there was also a black mist lingering on the bodies of a dozen children!
"No way."
A guess flashed in Xi Nian's mind, so he used the eyes of death to observe other residents in the current city.
Nine times out of ten, there is a black mist that symbolizes the concept of death, more or less!
"Little brother, what did you see?" Lorna sensed that Xi Nian's expression was not right.
Xinian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This city...is the root!"
