The rooms in Jia Ying's compound were the same as the ones she had been to before. They were in a typical oriental style, but most of the furniture could only be considered antique.
But apart from the lights, there were no electronic items here, including computers.
Skye habitually took out her phone, only to remember that it was damaged.
She quickly opened her backpack and took out the nano mask from her real identity, only to find that it couldn't be activated either.
Clearly, the so-called "disinfection program" just now might not have been to eliminate the biological virus, but to damage these electronic products.
There was also an electronic chip in the nano mask, but it was smaller.
If the chip was damaged, the mask couldn't be activated either.
It seemed that the security measures in the afterlife were quite strict.
Skye didn't feel bad about the damaged phone and nano mask, but it meant that she couldn't use the Internet to contact Luke.
She hadn't had time to think too much when the family was together.
Now that she was alone in the room, she vaguely sensed that Jia Ying's attitude was a little strange.
Jia Ying's attitude toward Skye was indeed pretty good.
But toward Calvin, her attitude didn't seem that … intimate?
They had been separated for more than a decade, and it was normal for them to be a little distant.
But Calvin had stayed in China, which was still very backward at the time, for her, and Skye had been born.
Calvin couldn't be blamed for the massacre. If he hadn't gone out to practice medicine at the last minute, he would have just died with Jia Ying.
When Calvin saw Jia Ying, he was clearly very excited. Even a blind person could see his love for her.
Jia Ying, however, didn't give any positive response, and didn't seem excited at all. It was as if it was just … a normal courtesy?
Thinking that, Skye felt a little uncomfortable.
Calvin wasn't a good person, because he had gone crazy after the massacre.
In order to become stronger, he had done a lot of illegal things and taken many lives.
But his feelings for Skye were genuine. She could feel it from the time they spent together.
It was Calvin who had suggested looking for Jia Ying.
In the end, Jia Ying didn't seem to have as deep feelings for him as Skye thought, but she was indeed Skye's mother.
Thinking that, Skye stood alone in front of the window for a long time without moving.
It was getting late.
…
The next day, the sun shone brightly.
Jia Ying took the father and daughter for a stroll in the afterlife.
Nothing happened during that period, but Skye, who had been trained for several years, was keenly aware that many people in the afterlife looked a little abnormal when they saw her and Calvin.
She wasn't an expert in micro-expressions, nor did she have any talent in this area, so she wasn't quite sure what was going on.
However, those people were definitely not curious or welcoming.
On the third day, Jia Ying came to find her alone, saying that she wanted to give her a test to confirm her identity as a non-human.
Skye felt a little uncomfortable.
There were many things that one was not afraid of going overboard, but they were afraid of having comparisons.
Luke had never treated her differently because of her superpowers. Instead, he was more interested in her network skills.
Skye didn't think she needed to pass any tests to prove that she wasn't human, but another race.
Over the years, she had met many bad people, but there were also many good people.
Luke, Selina, Mindy, and the lady at the aid center were all nice people.
Even the black boy, Charlie, who had been kicked by her at the very beginning, could not be considered a bad person. At most, he was just a bit stupid.
She couldn't think of a reason why she had to become a "mutated human".
However, when Jia Ying smiled and hugged her to take the test, Skye couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Although her biological mother wasn't as … cute as her biological father, she wasn't bad either.
It wasn't a big deal to expose her superpowers. All the mutated humans here knew that they would have superpowers after awakening.
Calvin had mentioned it in his message, so it was impossible for Skye to keep it a secret.
However, a few safety rules subconsciously surfaced in her mind: You can't have no trump cards. So, she would only use 10% of the output later.
Knowing what to do, she noticed the surprise on Jia Ying's face during the test, and was glad that she had only used 10%.
Jia Ying, on the other hand, was extremely happy, because her daughter's shockwave ability was really strong.
Not only could it shatter rocks, but it also had the ability to penetrate.
Especially after penetrating the hard protective layer, the damage of the shockwave was still considerable. It was definitely a powerful combat ability.
Skye was her daughter, so she was naturally a good helper on her side.
Jia Ying, who was secretly happy, didn't know that not only had her daughter kept a trump card from her, but she had more than one.
The so-called "splitting mountains and rocks" was definitely not an adjective for Skye.
Breaking rocks with bare hands was only the effect of 10% power. In fact, she hadn't even used the power storage mode of the Vibranium Gloves.
If she really went all out and hit with a charged blow, Skye could instantly collapse the test building along with the ground.
Even Calvin didn't know about this. After all, her dream was to be a network master. She was an absolutely gentle person, and fighting and killing wasn't suitable for her.
…
On the fourth day, Skye didn't see Calvin at lunch, which made her feel strange.
She was very concerned about Calvin's mental state, so chatting during meals was an essential "observation program" every day.
Calvin was also used to eating with her, and it was unlikely that he would be absent without saying goodbye.
She subconsciously asked Jia Ying, "Where did Dad go?"
Jia Ying's eyes flashed and she smiled. "He said that there were still some things he needed to deal with outside. He'll come see you when he's done."
Skye frowned. 'I've learned psychology and speech.'
What did it mean to come see her after he was done! The father and daughter had been relying on each other for the past month. Why did he need to "visit" her?
One had to know that family reunion was Calvin's biggest wish every day.
This wish had only been fulfilled a few days ago. What important matter did he have to leave suddenly and come "visit" his daughter when he was free?
Her mind turned quickly and she said, "Really? I know some friends who can help him deal with a lot of things. "
Jia Ying's smile froze slightly and she shook her head. "He said he didn't want you to get involved in those things. You know he sacrificed a lot to get you back."
Skye was silent for a moment and slowly said, "There's no need for that. I know what he did for us. He's not a good person, but he's a good father. "
Jia Ying looked troubled. "So, you have to think about him too. Maybe it's a better choice to let him think that you don't know. "
Skye was speechless.
"Sorry, I don't think so." A low and indifferent voice sounded in the room.
Jia Ying and Skye were both stunned and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the door.
The closed door was also pushed open at this time. A figure was turning from transparent to black and white and stepped into the room. "This is our first time meeting. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
A fluent Mandarin came from under the black and white skull mask.
Jia Ying's expression changed slightly, but Skye was stunned for a moment before he showed a look of realization. "You are … Big Dipper?"
