Chapter 53: Would you like a bottle of orange soda?

In the afternoon, in a shopping street in New York.

Annie, in disguise, took Kevin into a jewelry store and helped him choose the cross he would use tomorrow.

"This is enough. You will bring this with you to the meeting in two days to ensure that no one will doubt that you do not believe in Jesus."

Anne casually picked up a relatively expensive cross ornament and marked it on Kevin.

Under Kevin's black-framed glasses, his eyes were quite strange:
"I thought you would take me to church, but I didn't expect you to be so... casual."

Holding the cross in his hand, Kevin was quite speechless.

He thought that Anne's faith was very firm, and he was even ready to accompany Anne to the church to listen to the priest pray.

In the end, Annie just took a cross as a perfunctory ornament.

This belief is somewhat...cheap.

Even if the price of this cross is very expensive.

Anne also explained this:

"Just keep your faith in the Lord deep in your heart. There is no need to persuade people to join the religion. And to say it's a bit...rebellious, my faith in God has actually been shaken now."

"Oh why?"

"Because aren't our superpowers innate? If that's the case, then why did God give superpowers to those...those bastards?"

Annie seemed to want to say something more dirty, but when her eyes turned to Kevin, she changed her mind instantly.

Before she investigated Compound No. 5, Annie still naively believed that the superpowers of superhuman beings were the product of God bestowing them on humans.

This is something that most believers firmly believe.

God couldn't stand everything in the world, so he gave superheroes superpowers, hoping that they could use this superpower to maintain peace in the world.

Among them, the people of the motherland are the holy sons of the new era in the hearts of the believers.

He carries out punishment on behalf of God and is the modern Jesus who walks on earth.

To be honest, Kevin almost laughed out loud when he heard Annie talk about these 'gossips' circulating in the hearts of these believers.

If there was such a being as Superman in this world, and believers said he was a god walking in the world, a modern saint, or a holy person, Kevin would never have any objections.

Dachao's moral standards deserve such a title.

But if you want to say that you are a native of the motherland...

If you say that he is the spokesperson of Satan, it is probably more appropriate than calling him the modern Son of God.

Of course, for people who don't know the truth, the people of the motherland may indeed be such people.

Anne thought so too before this.

However, after seeing what the locomotive had done and seeing the people of the motherland coming to trouble Kevin because of it, Anne was already disappointed with the people of the motherland.

He was also disappointed in God.

If God does exist, why does He give superpowers to people who don't deserve them?

Kevin declined to comment on Anne's beliefs.

He took the cross, touched the lines on it, and replied:

"Maybe we weren't chosen?"

"Ok?"

"Maybe our superpower is just an unexpected surprise?"

After Kevin finished speaking, he and Annie fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Annie suddenly laughed and said:

"Why do I suddenly feel that the topic is so heavy..."

"is a bit."

"I finally have some rest today, so don't think too much. By the way, Kevin, do you want to watch a movie? I haven't watched "Invisible Power 2" starring Transparent yet. I heard that you appear in it?"

Perhaps because she saw the movie poster nearby, Annie suddenly mentioned that she wanted to go see a movie with Kevin.

Kevin looked at the movie poster not far away.

It has not been a month since Transparent's "Invisible Power 2" was released, and it was still being shown in theaters. Kevin originally thought it would be okay to watch it with Annie if he had nothing to do.

But just at this moment, Kevin's phone vibrated.

It's Ashley's phone.

"...It's just a guest appearance. Well, Annie, if you have nothing to do, you can come here today. I still have some things to deal with."

"Um... temporary job?"

"That's right, work overtime."

Kevin made a random excuse to leave while answering Ashley's call.

He asked Ashley to ask about Shockwave this morning and asked Ashley to help contact Shockwave. Looking at it now, there should be some clues there.

After receiving the call, Kevin hurriedly said goodbye to Annie and left.

Annie waved goodbye to Kevin and kept looking like that.

When Kevin's figure disappeared, she put her hand down and let out a long breath of frustration.

"...Isn't my hint obvious enough?"

Annie said this and turned to look at herself reflected in the glass beside her.

Although she was disguised, Annie was wearing a newly purchased brand-name shirt and jacket, her hair had been taken care of, and she carefully put on light makeup.

I originally planned to go to a movie with someone and have dinner together...but someone ran away midway.

Well, anyway, it's just a screen CP now, and even the screen CP hasn't been officially confirmed yet. The two of them are just having an affair, and they really shouldn't do these things.

But a certain guy didn't respond at all, which still made Anne a little discouraged.

"...Forget it, it's better to go back."

Annie, who failed to go to the movie as she wished, stared at the movie poster for a while, then turned away.

In fact, today's time was carefully calculated by Anne.

Coming out of the jewelry store at this time was just the right time to watch the upcoming movie. After the movie, it was also dinner time.

Otherwise, why would Anne insist on choosing the jewelry store here.

It's just that none of these sophisticated calculations were used.

pity.

……

Kevin didn't notice Annie's thoughts at all.

Don't expect a senior single who has been single in his past life to be able to instantly understand a girl's thoughts and ideas.

What's more, Kevin is still thinking about Shock Wave in his mind.

The people of the motherland and Kevin are now facing each other, and Kevin plans to cultivate his own strength from now on.

Starlight is considered one, and Maeve can win her over.

Black belongs to Edgar and cannot be moved for the time being.

In the end, only Locomotive was left, with help from the motherland.

Regardless of how the locomotive is now afraid of Kevin, Kevin remembers that this guy was a two-faced person in the original novel.

Let’s not mention the bastard things he did in the first two seasons, let’s talk about the third season.

In the third season, Starlight's ex-boyfriend Sonic, because he trusted him and thought he could be a companion, told Locomotive what he was going to do against the people of the motherland.

As a result, not long after, the locomotive turned around and informed the people of the motherland about the incident.

This led to the tragic death of the Sonics, and the Seven's new star fell before it even rose.

He also gave Annie and the others in black robes a warning.

Originally, Kevin thought that by subduing the locomotive with his fists, this guy would be more obedient. At least he wouldn't snitch so quickly, right?
But I didn't expect that an accident would happen to him in the end.

Therefore, Kevin does not intend to win over this guy Locomotive, and there is no need to win over him.

But another speedster who can rival the locomotive is a target that can be won over.

Shockwave, Shika Abel.

A superhuman with the speed of a locomotive.

Even if Lokomotiv hadn't used Compound No. 5 that day, the final winner would probably have been Shockwave.

Kevin is at a disadvantage in terms of speed. His speed on land is probably not even one-tenth that of a locomotive.

So he needs a helper with speed.

Shockwave is perfect for that.

After asking Ashley to make an appointment with Shockwave to meet in a private room of a nearby bar, Kevin went straight to the arranged bar.

The bar is not a superhuman bar, it's just a very ordinary place, but there are special private rooms to ensure privacy, so you don't have to worry about being photographed by paparazzi.

This is where Blaster chooses to go.

Entering the bar and finding the room that Shockwave had booked, Kevin simply pushed open the door and walked in. Inside the door, Shockwave had been waiting for a long time.

"Deep Sea! Oh my God, it's really you!"

As soon as he entered, Kevin heard Shockwave's cheers.

He walked forward excitedly and said:

"When Walter Group called and said you wanted to see me, I couldn't believe it! I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Okay, calm down, I'm here to talk to you today about business."

Seeing the shock wave cheering like die-hard fans, Kevin helplessly reassured.

I’ve never heard of Shockwave being a fan of Deep Sea before…

The idol spoke, and the shock wave of excitement also restrained his excitement, and he took a deep breath:

"Yes, yes, let's talk about business..."

Shockwave said, exhaling slowly, as if trying to calm down.

Kevin waited for a while, saw that he calmed down, and opened his mouth slightly to talk to him.

But the next moment he saw Shockwave pick up a bottle of soda from the table, handed it to Kevin and said:

"...Well, before we get down to business, would you like a can of orange soda?"

"?"

Kevin's eyes fell on the soda in Shockwave's hand.

The icon of the orange soda is very simple. There is a simple orange pattern painted on the outside of the can. It looks like a very ordinary off-brand soda.

But the moment Shockwave handed Kevin the soda, Kevin's mood became solemn.

He looked up at Shockwave again, his eyes full of deep thought.
