In the colorful chaos, the memories of the scorching heat are becoming more and more distant. My thoughts are like ice water that has repeatedly melted and condensed. Sometimes I think of the boring experience in my previous life, and sometimes I think of the scene of fighting on the streets in this life.
When the scene finally turned, he saw Jin Bin's ferocious and unwilling pupils, and heard his fierce and angry cry: "Then let's destroy them together!"
Then his thoughts were frozen to a standstill, as if they were playing tug-of-war with his body and his mind. Sometimes he just thought about falling asleep like this and being completely destroyed, and his thoughts would become frighteningly cold. Sometimes he thought about the past
He has the goal of a beautiful and stable life, but he is extremely eager to break free from this unbearable shackles.
Until a touch of warmth hit him, Robert completely remembered the figure in the black raincoat and the disdainful smile towards the little kid.
"Heroes are just another form of Nine-Nine-Six."
Robert completely woke up from his daze. He opened his eyes tremblingly and his eyelids twitched. He saw a wet and hot towel in front of him wiping his neck and up to his chest.
Who?
The light at this time was slightly dim. After his eyes adjusted to the surrounding environment, he wanted to turn his head to look at the person who was wiping his sweat, but found that his neck could not move at all, or in other words, the only thing he could move was
The part above the neck.
Robert had no choice but to tilt his head slightly and turn his eyes to look. What came into view was a woman with long platinum hair and a mature and delicate face. At this moment, she raised her eyebrows, stared at Robert with a pair of phoenix eyes, and said:
"It seems I don't have to worry about you dying suddenly at my house."
She took back the hand holding the towel, got up and went to the bathroom.
Robert watched his swaying waist disappear from sight, his eyes narrowed.
Vanessa?!
It wasn't that he was unreasonably surprised. When he thought about it, he was near the battlefield in Hell's Kitchen after all. If Peter and the others hadn't rescued him, it would have been the police department, or at worst it would have been Doctor Strange and those people hiding in the darkness. p>
But the truth was so dramatic, Robert was actually rescued by Vanessa and brought back to her home!
This is not good news...
At least in Robert's impression, Vanessa had a close relationship with Kingpin. If he knew about the grudge between Kingpin and him, it would be difficult not to have a negative attitude towards him.
Robert said coldly: "So, it's my turn to be surprised. Why did you want to rescue me?"
The sound of running water in the bathroom stopped, Vanessa hung the towel on the wall, faced Robert's gaze and said: "Actually, I went there to find Kingpin, but who knew such a big mess would happen?
, a fire burned that place to ashes in the true sense... However, I didn't find Jinpin at that time, I only found you lying on the ground, and I rescued you..."
"By the way, what happened there? Ordinary flames can't burn the sand? What about Jin Bin? Where is he now?"
Vanessa's questions were gentle and slow, and she stared at Robert with a pair of phoenix eyes, as if she wanted to dig out all of Robert's secrets through her eyes.
Robert told the truth: "I'm just an ordinary person passing by, and I happened to be hit by the aftermath of the fire..."
He also gave an impeccable explanation: "Otherwise, if I were in the flames, at the center of the explosion, my body would not be safe, but would become a pile of black soil in Hell's Kitchen."
"But..." Vanessa's eyes looked playful.
"You're not wearing any clothes..."
What!
Robert's facial expression was slightly stiff.
"Besides, the clothes I mentioned include..." Vanessa's eyes moved downward, seeming to focus on a certain location.
Feeling Vanessa's gaze, Robert took a deep breath. The power of the hellfire was truly amazing, burning all his clothes and pants.
But this is difficult to explain, because if the fire of hell can burn his clothes, there is no reason why it cannot burn an "ordinary passerby" like him.
Unless...unless he's wearing nothing...
But a normal man would definitely not walk shirtless on the street, let alone go to Hell's Kitchen to do so and then be affected by a fire for no reason.
"Anything can happen in this world." Robert said it as if he hadn't said it.
"Then you don't know anything and you just passed by there shirtless?" Vanessa's expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Maybe." Robert didn't want to delve into this topic. He just wanted to know where he would end up in the future.
"So, you know the answer, what are you going to do with me? To tell you the truth, I can't move from the neck down now." Robert looked at Vanessa expressionlessly.
Vanessa stroked her fingers, and she looked at Robert with great interest, but Robert looked on coldly, as if it had no effect. She smiled and said: "If I really want to find someone to carry you out of my house, I think for
My reputation will have some impact, maybe I can keep you here."
Robert frowned. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but still no sound came out. As Vanessa said, this did not reflect well on Vanessa, but Robert would also get into a lot of trouble.
, at least he must enter a new environment, maybe St. Mary's Hospital, maybe some third-rate hospital, or maybe Vanessa throws him into a trash can on the roadside and leaves him to fend for himself. p>
Robert asked: "May I ask, which district of Gotham is this?"
Vanessa poured a glass of water and said as she walked: "This is Lasvez District, let's have a drink of water."
"Lasvez District, that key development area with many factories..." Robert nodded. He remembered that Vanessa's gallery was located here, and he didn't forget to finish the warm water that was handed to him.
"Yes, this is No. 85 St. Louis Road, Las Vegas District. You can rest assured to live here." Vanessa put down the water glass and said while holding back a smile.
"But having said that, I would like to remind you that none of your clothes and pants are available here. Do you need me to buy some for you..."
Robert looked ugly. His perception was limited to the area above his neck. The body below his neck seemed to be no longer his. After Vanessa reminded him, he realized how embarrassing his current situation was.
Not to mention necessary behaviors such as eating and drinking, the problem of his excretion alone is enough to make Robert's scalp numb.
Even if the person next to him is not Vanessa, but an acquaintance like Peter or Otto, Robert will feel indescribably weird, and the corners of his mouth will twitch with a lump in his throat.
Thinking about it this way, Robert thought that the blond lady in front of him was much better than those men. At least it was a woman taking care of him, not a man...
As for Vanessa's age and status, Robert didn't think too much about it, because he wouldn't do the stupid thing of leaving excrement on the sofa and asking others to clean it up, and it didn't seem like it was his turn to do it.
