Chapter 55 Dinner

The funniest thing in the world is that a speedster has a heart disease.

He can't run anymore, because excessive exercise will cause a heart attack, which is life-threatening.

In the second season, the locomotive rarely ran, and in the third season, he couldn't even run fast.

In order to prevent himself from leaving the Seven, he even played the sign of racism.

But even so, he was still kicked out of the Seven by Homelander in the end, and his end was extremely miserable, probably only a little better than the original Deep Sea.

If he hadn't replaced another person's heart in the third season, eliminating the hidden danger of heart disease.

Then the locomotive would probably never be able to run again in the future.

Except for his own physique, he is no different from an ordinary person.

How could such a locomotive beat Shockwave?

How could he compete with Shockwave when he had a heart disease?

Even if he dared to compete with Shockwave, if the Vought Group knew that he had a heart disease... could he still stay in the Seven?

Kevin knew that his method of using other people's illnesses to deal with others was a bit despicable.

But in such a world, whether or not there is a method is not important. What matters is whether you can live well.

The locomotive is now completely on the side of the motherland. If the locomotive is not eliminated, who knows whether the locomotive will come to trouble Kevin in the future.

Speedsters are very dangerous. Before they are prepared, Kevin does not have the ability to deal with speedsters.

So he can only use speedsters to deal with speedsters.

The conversation with Shockwave was very pleasant.

Except that the orange soda really scared Kevin, everything else was perfect.

When he came out of the bar, it was already evening.

Kevin checked his skill points as usual.

This morning, when he went to visit the survivors, Kevin got a skill point as expected. Now talking to Shockwave, perhaps because it affected the plot, the skill point was +1.

The new skill points obtained plus the remaining nine after clicking [Accelerated Healing] before, Kevin now has eleven skill points.

Eleven, five points away from the LV5 skill.

"I should be able to get one or two points by accompanying Annie to the Faith Expo in two days... For now, well, let's go talk to Kimiko."

Participating in the changed plot can also gain skill points.

And Kimiko is now Kevin's long-term vote, at least before Kevin drains her skill points.

After thinking for a while, Kevin took out his mobile phone and found Annie's phone number.

Kimiko's residence has not been found yet, mainly because Kimiko is not suitable to live alone in this state, but it is not possible to continue staying at Kevin's house.

So Kimiko is now at Annie's house.

Thinking that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, it was just right to go to Annie's house for dinner, so Kevin called Annie.

As a result, Annie hung up Kevin's phone not long after he dialed.

Kevin: "?"

...

The phone vibrated again, and Annie, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with Kimiko, glanced at it and didn't pay attention.

Kimiko curled up on the sofa with her legs hugged. Perhaps the vibration of the sound was too irritating, and Kimiko's eyes were attracted.

She looked at the mobile phone that kept vibrating on the table and gestured with sign language.

'Don't answer it? '

Kimiko used her own original sign language, which she and her brother figured out together during their long career as terrorists.

It was different from normal sign language. Annie and Kevin took a long time to understand some of the meanings of Kimiko's sign language.

Looking at the doubts expressed by Kimiko, Annie let out a long breath.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly felt that her behavior of refusing to answer the call was stupid.

She immediately let out a sigh of relief and reached out to pick up the phone to choose to answer it.

"Hello...?"

"Annie? Are you okay?"

"Nothing... I was... um, taking a shower just now, so I didn't hear the phone ring. Is there anything wrong?"

Annie made up a reason casually.

Kimiko, who knew that Annie was by her side from beginning to end, blinked her eyes when she heard this and tilted her head slightly to express her doubts.

Anne subconsciously raised her hand and put her finger in front of her lips, making a "hush" gesture, signaling Kimiko to be quiet.

Later, she remembered that Kimiko couldn't speak, so she put her hand down again.

"Shower? Now?"

Kevin on the other end of the phone was a little surprised.

Although it was late, it was not time to take a shower and rest. After all, most people might not have eaten dinner at this time.

Anne, who lied to Kevin, didn't want to explain more about this matter. She skipped the topic and asked:

"Is there anything?"

"Nothing, I just thought I would go to your place for dinner after I finished my work. You shouldn't mind."

"! Are you coming over now?"

"Well, I'm on my way to your house. If it's inconvenient for you..."

"Convenient! Um, I mean I don't have anything to do here. I just need to discuss with you the matters that need to be paid attention to at the Faith Expo. How long will it take you to arrive?"

"...Ten minutes?"

"Got it!"

Hearing that Kevin was about to come, Annie took a deep breath, quickly hung up the phone, and then rushed to the bathroom at the speed of the wind.

The phone fell on the sofa, and Annie's figure disappeared.

Looking at the phone that fell on the sofa, and then looking at Annie who had already run into the bathroom, Kimiko frowned slightly in confusion, but soon stopped looking at it and returned her eyes to the TV.

Although she didn't know what happened, it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Might as well continue watching TV.

...

After the phone was hung up, the busy tone came one after another. Kevin listened to the busy tone and his expression was a little puzzled.

At first, Annie didn't answer the phone the first time, and Kevin thought something happened to Annie. After all, he asked Annie to contact Yijiexi, which was not so safe in itself.

But then Annie answered the phone, and Kevin felt that Annie seemed to be sulking after talking to her.

But when she heard that he was there, she suddenly stopped being angry...

What was going on?

Kevin thought seriously about Annie's reaction.

Did he make her angry by leaving suddenly today?

But it was originally agreed that we were just going to buy a cross, and we didn't say we were going to go to the movies.

He had already asked Ashley to make an appointment with Shockwave, so it was impossible to postpone it.

Besides, Annie had always been very generous, and she shouldn't be angry about such a small matter.

Well... maybe she was just in a bad mood occasionally, after all, a girl's mood is unpredictable.

After thinking for a long time without any reason, Kevin took it for granted that maybe Annie was just in a bad mood occasionally.

This was also normal. Sometimes Kevin himself would be inexplicably in a bad mood, feel irritable, and not be nice to anyone.

For example, when he didn't find jewelry or antiques in the seabed, he would be like this.

Anyway, this is not a big deal. Kevin no longer thinks about it, takes out his mobile phone to locate, and walks slowly towards Annie's home.

He took the subway and walked a distance.

It took about fifteen minutes for Kevin to finally arrive at Annie's door.

He knocked on the door and Kevin didn't wait for long. The door was opened.

Behind the door, Annie, wearing her daily home clothes, stood there. She had a bath towel wrapped around her head to protect her hair. She stood at the door casually. When she saw Kevin coming, she said without any hesitation:

"Are you here? Come in."

"..."

The smell of shampoo came from the air. Feeling the light moisture on Annie's body that had not yet subsided, Kevin looked a little dazed.

He then remembered that Annie did say on the phone that she had just taken a shower.

Then is it a bit... inappropriate for him to come here now?
