Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Hello...Miss Jing, what a coincidence."

Seeing Jingnan standing motionless not far away, Arthur raised his left hand with a guilty conscience and greeted him.

"."

However, Jingnan, who crossed her arms and folded her chest, stared at Arthur with an extremely cold face, and did not respond to Arthur's previous 'cheap' greeting.

!

Seeing this, Arthur's uncontrollable body was ready to run away immediately.

"stop!"

"yes…"

It's just that Arthur was about to turn around and run away, but Jingnan yelled at him, preventing him from escaping from this glamorous female conductor.

Seeing Arthur's embarrassing look, the corners of Jingnan's eyes couldn't help twitching a few times, and after a while, she said in a much softer tone:

"Russell, I hope to have a serious talk with you, you won't refuse, right?"

"There's nothing to refuse." Arthur was also ready to clarify the matter, so he was no longer as guilty as before, and said:

"So where do we talk? How about Shangmin's rest area, I'll treat you to some coffee."

"No, there are too many people there." Jingnan shook her head, then she turned and walked towards the residential area, and did not give Arthur time to continue to propose:

"Go to my house, it's cleaner there."

"That's fine."

Seeing that Jingnan had turned to leave, Arthur could only obey the other party's intention and follow her to Shangmin District.

Shortly after.

Jing Nan led Arthur to the balcony of her house. This time, she did not make tea for Arthur.

And Arthur, like last time, sat on the side of the fence, and Jingnan sat opposite him.

The two stared at each other wordlessly for a few seconds, making the atmosphere a little ambiguous.

"Ahem..." But Arthur stopped the loss in time, interrupted the staring action with a light cough, and deliberately moved his gaze away from Jingnan, and spoke first:

"Miss Jing, you want to continue the topic from last time. In fact, I have nothing to hide. I do have a lover."

! ! !

Although Jingnan had long guessed that Arthur had a lover, hearing it with her own ears still made her heart skip a beat.

Of course Arthur could see Jingnan's displeasure, but short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, and continued:

"She and I have already formed what you call a family relationship in the old world. I don't think it will be long before the inheritance between me and her will come to the world."

"What did you say?!"

"Snapped!"

Seeing Arthur say everything, Jingnan finally couldn't help standing up, raised his right hand and gave Arthur a loud slap on the left cheek.

Arthur didn't have the steel and iron bones like Horus, or the invulnerable skin, so a very clear palm print appeared on the left side of his face instantly.

However, he was not an ordinary human being either. The palm prints dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his suddenly swollen cheeks returned to normal.

"Hiss~..." But Arthur still pretended to be in great pain, raised his left hand to knead his cheek, and smiled at Jingnan who was sitting in front of him again:

"A slap in the face, does the anger subside a little?"

"You..." Seeing that Arthur was still as easy-going as before, Jingnan felt even more uncomfortable, and then she asked loudly angrily:

"Since you have a wife and children, why do you still provoke me?! Are you worthy of your lover?!"

"That...be quiet..."

Arthur waved his hands left and right to signal the other party to keep his voice down, but seeing that Jing Nan was still very unstable, he could only shake his head helplessly, and continued to say frankly:

"Miss Jing, in fact, I approached you to obtain information about the lighthouse, and the result was just as I expected, you told me everything.

Your recordings have long been circulated among the Dustmen and Shangmin, Morgan's complete disappointment with Charles, Mark's successful succession as the city lord, and so on are all inseparable from your assistance.

Besides, I haven't betrayed my lover from the beginning to the end, right? I said it a long time ago, we are just friends, and you... misunderstood. "

heard the words.

Jingnan gradually regained his composure and began to recall what happened these days.

Indeed, during the time spent alone with Arthur, Arthur and her have been talking about the lighthouse, Charles, Mark, etc., and there is no love at all.

Yes, it's just Arthur's habitual praise and PUA routines that she doesn't understand.

"Could it be...you don't have any thoughts about me?" Jingnan was a little lost, and even his self-esteem was greatly affected.

Although free love was strictly prohibited in the lighthouse before Arthur's arrival, everyone has a love for beauty. Even if Jingnan doesn't care about emotions, he still enjoys the boast and praise of the opposite sex.

But Arthur is different, he doesn't have any thoughts about her at all? This seriously frustrated Jingnan's self-esteem.

After all, what you can't get is always the best.

Seeing that something was wrong with Jingnan, Arthur quickly persuaded:

"Miss Jing, don't think about it too much. In fact, you are beautiful, with a great figure, and your personality is even more pleasing. If I don't have a lover, I might really like you.

It's just that everything comes first and then comes first, so don't think wrongly, and I did molested you before, it was my fault, I apologize to you here. "

"Hey... If an apology works, what is the end?" Jing Nan said even more disheartened.

After finishing speaking, Jingnan stood up and pointed to the direction, and said to Arthur with an extremely indifferent tone:

"Go, I don't want to see you again until the passageway you mentioned opens."

See here.

In order not to continue irritating Jingnan, Arthur just nodded and said "yes" before getting up and leaving, leaving Jingnan sober and calm alone.

But when Arthur left, the female conductor, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, walked into the room in a daze, lay face down on the bed and sobbed silently.

…

main universe.

Time: March 23, 2051.

O'clock: 11:59 (Atlantic o'clock).

Location: The cosmic domain within the gravitational range of Pluto.

at this time.

The entire Zero Fleet is parked in low-Earth orbit around Pluto, as if waiting for something to arrive.

The bridge of the Star Destroyer flagship.

The second floor of the bridge.

William was still wearing a black custom-made suit that had never changed for thousands of years, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and his face calmly looking at the universe outside the giant porthole.

Serena, who was also wearing a black women's suit, was still standing behind William with her hands on her lower abdomen as usual.

And standing behind William was not only Serena, but the couple Ivan and Athena were also present.

Ivan ostensibly succeeded Umbrella, so the eldest son wore the black uniform of an army commander.

Athena was wearing her classic gold armor, with a white cloak hanging on the back of the armor, and her left and right hands were holding a battle shield and a battle spear respectively.

12:00

At that moment when the time came to the Atlantic Ocean, a blue light flickered at the front of the fleet, and then a faint blue winding passage appeared in front of everyone in the bridge.

However, the diameter of the passage is only about one kilometer, so it is obviously impossible for the Star Destroyer flagship to pass through.

but…

"Serina, send the drone to enter the channel first, and then let the dreadnought battleship lock on, let our entire fleet go to that universe."
