Pondering for a moment, Luke said, "I'm a police officer. Although the FBI wants to arrest you, I know that it's for your X-gene. You didn't do anything wrong. You're even a victim. You're innocent. I don't need to sacrifice an innocent person in exchange for a promotion and a raise. It's a matter of principle, and it has nothing to do with you. "
Carol fell silent again, and felt like crying.
What kind of life had she been living?
Someone had broken into her house and shot her, and she had run away in fear when she woke up in the morgue.
Unable to suppress her fury, she had gone to take revenge on the Mexican gang, only to be caught in a scuffle with the criminals and the men in black suits.
In the end, Luke had let her go, and had even shown her a way out.
The stack of cash in her hand was only eight thousand dollars, but a young officer like Luke could earn fifty to sixty thousand a year at most. It would be a miracle if he could keep ten thousand for himself.
It was obvious that Luke had just started working. It was possible that the eight thousand dollars was all he had, but he had given it to a complete stranger without any hesitation.
Were there really good people in this world?
Carol was at a loss.
Luke, however, ignored Carol's thoughts and continued talking about makeup and concealment techniques.
Now that his abilities came from Salazar, it was even more suitable for Carol.
This went on for two to three hours before he finally stopped this kind of force-feeding education.
"No matter how much you remember, you'll have to work hard in the future," said Luke. "Now, leave while it's dark."
Carol was a lot calmer this time.
She had only come here to say thank you.
She didn't expect to receive unexpected help.
She now had a goal and hope for the future again, and wasn't as muddle-headed as before.
If she really had a goal, she wouldn't have gone after the Mexican gang to vent her frustration, but would have stayed as far away as possible.
She stood up and bowed at Luke solemnly. "Thank you. You're a good person."
Luke's face was dark.
That wasn't right! He didn't want to become an NPC who just got free food.
Without saying anything else, Carol walked out of the room and quickly left after one last look at Luke.
Watching the girl disappear down the stairs, Luke sighed. "Good luck. This is all I can do for you." He then closed the door.
Selina had a good night. She had a delicious meal, although she wasn't full.
She had also heard a lot of insider information and watched Luke teach students, which was already very satisfying.
Luke closed the door and waved at her. "Get up and get to work."
"Huh?"
"Clean up the room. We can't leave any trace of Carol. I don't want Charles and the other FBI agents to target me." Luke went to get cleaning tools.
Selena's face fell.
It turned out that there was a price to pay for listening to gossip.
As Luke cleaned up, he was thinking about Carol.
As he said, he could only help so much.
Letting Carol go, providing her with a sum of money, and showing her a way out was the best he could do.
He wasn't capable of anything more than that.
Cheney and the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were already troublesome enough, not to mention the maelstrom in New York. He didn't want to go there right now.
He had Carol's abilities, but he had done his best to help her. The rest would be up to the girl's own luck and capability.
The two of them cleaned up the place. For the police, cleaning up the scene was their specialty.
Nothing of Carol's, including her fingerprints and hair, would be left in the room.
Just like that, the two of them washed up and went to bed at eleven o 'clock at night.
The next day, they set off in their car.
They drove four hundred kilometers to Laquin, a small city to the north of Houston.
They switched seats twice on the way. Before they entered Laquin, Selina was in the driver's seat again.
It was a small city similar to Knox City.
Looking at the environment, Luke felt that he could spend a month here on vacation.
The scenery was nice, and the cost of living in a small city wasn't as high as in a big city.
Selina, however, looked around as she drove. "Why aren't there any raccoons here?"
Looking out the window, Luke said casually, "Laquin may be named Raccoon, but it doesn't mean there are a lot of raccoons here. Is Springfield a place where there's nothing but spring and fields, and no winter and concrete? "
Selina snorted. "I thought this was a safari."
Luke chuckled.
Although Selina was hot and beautiful, she still had a childish temper and liked to play around.
Suddenly, a sign flashed across Luke's eyes, and he was stunned.
A moment later, he suddenly said, "Selina, turn around and go back."
Selina immediately turned around and drove the car back.
Two hundred meters later, Luke said, "Stop for a moment."
Selina stopped the car. "What did you find this time?"
Looking at the sign on the building not far away, Luke narrowed his eyes and was greatly shocked. What the hell was going on?
There was an eye-catching sign at the entrance of the building.
The sign was red and white like an umbrella, and there was a line below it in English: Umbrella.
At that moment, Luke recalled a name that he hadn't thought of for years: Umbrella Corporation.
Laquin, also known as … Raccoon City.
The name wasn't particularly unusual. It wasn't uncommon for cities in the United States to be named after animals.
But what else could a city with Umbrella Corporation like Raccoon City be like this?
Resident Evil!
Luke felt an inexplicable sense of danger, and almost wanted Selina to turn around and leave.
However, he quickly suppressed this impulse.
This was a world where Tony Stark existed, as well as a lot of other characters from Marvel movies.
In a world of this level of power, it was really unlikely that Umbrella Corporation would create an apocalypse like in Resident Evil.
A lot of superheroes and mutants were hiding in this world, as well as SHIELD. It wasn't like Umbrella Corporation had been founded by Thanos; it wouldn't be that easy to destroy the Earth.
Thus, Luke quickly suppressed the panic in his heart.
He said to Selina casually, "Let's go to the Raccoon City Police Department."
Selina didn't ask any questions and simply drove away.
Luke was lost in thought again.
All this time, he had thought that he was living in the world of Marvel movies.
After all, Tony Stark looked about 80% similar to the one in the movies. The other intelligence he had gathered also pointed to this possibility.
