When night fell, Calvin and Skye stood in an open-air basketball court in a community.
Because there were no lights, there was no one here, and the trees around them formed a relatively secluded space.
When the appointed time arrived, no one appeared. Calvin became a little anxious and muttered something indistinctly.
Skye pulled him back and comforted him gently, and Calvin gradually calmed down.
After his drug-induced insanity was suppressed, he was indeed a good father who loved his daughter, and listened to everything Skye said.
Five minutes later, Skye suddenly froze and looked at a corner of the basketball court.
A figure suddenly appeared behind a tree there, and the drone immediately alerted her.
Seeing the familiar leather coat and big black sunglasses, surprise flashed in Skye's eyes. Her mind raced, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.
The person walked out and asked directly, "Calvin, is she Daisy?"
Calvin turned his head warily and looked at the tall man in the leather coat. "Who are you?"
The person said, "Jia Ying asked me to pick you up, provided that her daughter is really here."
Calvin asked, "Where's your ID?"
The person said, "8872."
Calvin heaved a sigh of relief.
July 2, 1988, was Skye's birth date, and it was the "secret code" that he had agreed on with Jia Ying.
Only then did he put a hand on Skye's shoulder and answer the person's question. "This is Daisy, my daughter. And you are? "
"My name is Gordon." The person faced Skye and revealed a stiff smile. "So you're her daughter."
Many thoughts flashed through Skye's mind, but in the end, she just hummed.
Calvin found that odd. "You know each other?"
Gordon also 'looked' at him strangely. "I've seen him once."
Also, you almost got your balls kicked by Luke! Skye added the second half of the sentence in her heart.
This Gordon was the man in the leather coat who had run to the aid station to catch Emma and her son at Luke's community party.
More importantly, this guy's superpower was teleportation.
Skye was very smart. The moment she saw Gordon, she almost immediately connected the dots.
Jia Ying had a superpower, and Gordon was from a superpower organization called "Afterlife."
Jia Ying did not come to meet the father and daughter. Instead, she sent Gordon to pick them up because Gordon's teleportation ability could bring people along.
It would be very difficult for others to track down Gordon, who had teleported here and teleported away with someone else. This would undoubtedly be very safe.
Gordon had come out a few minutes late. It was obvious that he was observing the surroundings for any danger.
Skye had only seen Luke almost blow Gordon up with a kick, and didn't know that the Dark Knight had fought Gordon once.
Gordon didn't want to go to New York or New Jersey. Instead, he asked to meet in Europe, because he was afraid that Bat would set up a trap in New York.
The ability to teleport was not invincible, especially when it came to traps. Gaden had to be careful.
Otherwise, why would a witch with the ability to teleport be pressed to death by Tony in the Space Blocker and directly captured alive?
After Gordon grabbed the father and daughter's hands and teleported away from the basketball court, a transparent shadow laughed in the dark forest. "It's time to visit my ability storage."
While speaking, a faint light gushed out from the shadow's back and soared into the sky, heading east.
It was a level-one clone that had secretly followed them.
After hearing the name Jia Ying from Calvin, Luke almost immediately remembered the leader of the aliens that Emma, who had escaped from the afterlife, had mentioned.
The leader was also called Jia Ying, and was also an Asian woman.
Also, Luke had a rough idea of the afterlife's location. It was somewhere near a chicken's butt on the map.
This was more in line with the theory that Jia Ying was from China.
It was also the only place where it could avoid American reconnaissance to the greatest extent, and also not be under the management of China's superhuman agency.
Thus, the afterlife had always kept a low profile.
Because it was just a small shrimp that was protecting itself from a certain rabbit. If it was too high-profile, it could easily be killed.
Looking at Skye's signal on the virtual screen that had completely disappeared, Luke curled his lip. "You're really careful."
On the other side, Skye and Calvin's vision blurred as they arrived in a room.
The room was antique and full of the charm of Eastern architecture, but there were no windows.
Gordon let go of their hands and said, "Okay, please wait here for a moment."
With that, he walked out of a door.
A few minutes later, the door opened again, and a female voice rang out in the room. "Come out, you two."
Skye and Calvin looked at each other and walked through the door.
Behind the door wasn't the outside world, but a small room that looked like a hall.
After the door closed, the female voice reminded them, "There will be a routine disinfection procedure later. Don't panic."
As he spoke, countless fine patterns of white light lit up on the surface of the small room that was sparkling with silver light.
Skye frowned, and the tip of her nose caught a whiff of the unpleasant burnt smell.
She took out her phone from her pocket, and the burnt smell was even more obvious.
Noticing her movements, Calvin asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Skye shook her head. "My phone seems to be broken."
Stunned, Calvin took out his phone, only to find that it couldn't be turned on. "What's going on?"
Skye put her phone back and didn't say anything.
The white patterns flickered for half a minute before they finally dimmed, and another door opened.
Calvin couldn't help but get excited as he strode out.
Skye didn't stop him and just followed silently.
Outside the door was a very oriental three-step stone staircase. A middle-aged woman stood at the bottom of the steps, looking at the two of them with a smile.
She had a braid and was wearing a Chinese-style gown. She had an oval face and red phoenix eyes. She was quite beautiful.
Unfortunately, a few twisted scars across her face destroyed the integrity of her face.
Calvin stopped in his tracks, and his body trembled slightly. "Jia Ying, are … are you alright?"
Jia Ying looked at him and nodded with a smile. "Calvin, long time no see."
Calvin mumbled, "Yes, yes, it's been more than ten years …"
Jia Ying shifted her gaze to Skye, and a bright smile appeared on her face. "Daisy?"
Skye suppressed the excitement in her heart. "Yes."
Jia Ying walked up to her and opened her arms to embrace her. "Thank fate for letting you return to my side."
Skye's eyes were red and her mind was in chaos, but she couldn't help hugging Jia Ying tightly. "Yes, thank Fate."
Next, it was a family dinner for the three of them.
In a quiet courtyard somewhere, the three of them ate and talked about each other's situations over the years.
However, Calvin and Skye talked a little more. Jia Ying only said that she found this place to live in seclusion and rarely went out.
Naturally, there was nothing to talk about living in seclusion.
After dinner, Jia Ying arranged a room for the father and daughter and told them to rest early. Everyone would gather again tomorrow.
Watching her leave, Skye closed the door and looked around the room casually.
