The sound of chairs scraping against the floor came from upstairs. Yu Zhesen and An He, who had just finished changing their slippers, were stunned and looked at each other to confirm that they were not hallucinating.
Someone at home?
It's not yet four o'clock in the afternoon. With An Zhitian's personality, he will definitely be working in his office at this time. Where are the people at home?
Yu Zhesen communicated with An He with his eyes:
"What happened just now? Is there a burglar in the house?"
An He also responded quickly with his eyes:
"I don't know. Let's go up and have a look."
The two of them left their suitcases in the storage room under the stairs in a tacit agreement, and walked to the living room on the second floor step by step, suppressing the sound of their footsteps with caution.
Out of confidence in her android body and her desire to protect Yu Zhesen, An He walked ahead without any explanation, holding a baseball bat taken from the storage room tightly in his hand.
Yu Zhesen followed her with bare hands, ready to use time stasis at any time.
Although he handed over all the commissioner's weapons and equipment after asking for leave from Zhong Yugu through Claire, he did not think that he was so weak that he needed An He's protection. The reason why he let An He go ahead was just to satisfy him.
It's just her wish.
If he were just an ordinary little thief, there would be no need for him to use his powers. The performance of Anhe's bionic body and his own combat experience would be enough to cope with it.
If the other party is a thief with the same superpower, then they can ensure that they are foolproof by relying on time stasis.
After all, this is their own home, so it is best to keep the intensity of the conflict to a minimum. If any piece of furniture is broken, they will feel distressed.
"Trespassing to a private residence! You have violated the Iron Dome Order and Security Code..."
With the idea of preempting the enemy and scaring them to reduce the probability of armed conflict, An He jumped over the last three steps, picked up a baseball bat and jumped into the living room.
But when she clearly saw the person staying in her living room, the aggressive declaration in her mouth stopped abruptly.
Yu Zhesen, who rushed up later, was also stunned and murmured: "Mr. Mercer..."
Although Messer did not wear the white trench coat uniform used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when performing field missions, nor did he wear the iconic white mask with eye patches on his face, Yu Zhesen and An He still recognized him at a glance.
The characteristics of Mercer's electronic eyes are very obvious. After taking off the white eye-patch mask, obvious metal gaps and thin luminous energy lines can be seen around his eyes.
In contrast, An He's prosthetic body has a very high degree of bionic beautification, and it is almost impossible to tell that she is a cyber creature just from her appearance.
"Why did you come back?" Mercer's initial attitude was also quite guarded. Apparently he had noticed the movement of Yu Zhesen and An He entering the door, and he also did not guess that they were the ones entering.
Yu Zhesen and An He noticed his nervousness, but didn't take it too seriously. They smiled at each other and explained that they were returning to Xingzhou City together this time while Yu Zhesen got a chance to take a vacation.
"To be honest, it's not appropriate to come back at this time." Moses' expression showed that he seemed to be worried.
"What's wrong, Mr. Messer... By the way, you haven't told us yet, why are you at home? Did Lao An ask you to come?"
Mercer hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'm here to help An Zhitian pick up something. He accidentally left it at home."
An He asked: "But our door has an old-style mechanical lock. Even if Mr. Messer is a master hacker, how did you get in?"
"Lao An gave me the key, what's so strange about it?" Yu Zhesen didn't understand why she asked that.
An He shook his head: "When I opened the door, I found that the door was locked twice. This is my father's habit. If Mr. Messer brought the key to pick up things, he would not lock the door twice after entering the house.
Bar."
Messer admitted: "I didn't come in through the door, I came in from the balcony of the bedroom. Don't worry, although I didn't take the usual route, I promise I didn't damage anything in your house."
"An An, can you put down the baseball bat?" Yu Zhesen reminded An He by touching him with his arm.
An He seemed not to have heard anything and continued to talk to Mercer: "So, has Mr. Mercer found what my dad asked you to find? Do you need our help to find it?"
"We've found it." Moses nodded, "I won't bother you, I'm ready to leave."
"Can I be curious, what did Mr. Mercer find?" An He's position was stuck at the top of the stairs, and she had no intention of getting out of the way. Although she seemed very peaceful on the surface, she actually expressed her feelings towards Mercer's departure.
It means to hinder.
Mercer smiled: "If you don't satisfy your curiosity, are you not going to let me leave?"
An He showed a polite but essentially dismissive smile: She slowly raised her left hand, and in her palm was a mobile phone with a screen displaying an unanswered call request, and the contact person was An Zhitian.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Messer, I just found out that I couldn't get through to my dad, so I can't be sure whether what you said is the truth." An He's tone gradually became serious and low, with a strong sense of confrontation in his tone.
, "I hope you can let me take a look at what you are taking away from our house."
Only then did Yu Zhesen realize that the conversation between An He and Mercer was not a joke. There was really a heated opposition between the two people. He looked at An He in disbelief and then at Mercer in front of him.
, I don’t quite understand why things turned out like this.
It was clear that when they fought against Jin Guozheng in a different space before, they were acquaintances who had lived and died together.
"An He, what's going on?" Although Yu Zhesen was asking An He, he always stood beside An He and stared at Moses with vigilant eyes.
Although he didn't want to believe that there was something wrong with Moses, he believed in An He without any reservation in his heart. This was a position that would never change.
Messer also noticed Yu Zhesen's state. He didn't seem surprised or nervous. He just said in a joking tone: "Are you sure? Are you going to attack me, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in Starzhou City?"
What answered him was the baseball bat that An He threw out.
Messer twisted his upper body slightly and closed his fist, aiming at the flying baseball bat and punching it. The metal crusher's superpower instantly turned the entire baseball bat into powder as fine as sand.
"There are a lot of metals in the materials of bionic prosthetics, right?" Messer put the fist he just punched in front of his face and looked at it, "I don't want to hurt you, so let's stop here, okay? You just attacked the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Personnel, I can pretend that I didn’t see any behavior that seriously violated Iron Dome’s order.”
"Mr. Messer, I don't want to hurt you either." Yu Zhesen said, "But if you take action against An He, I may go against my will."
