This aura is deadly

(The chapter name is wrong. It’s Chapter 173. Damn, the chapter name can’t be changed. Damn it.)

Move the time forward 48 hours, and the location is a still-operating seafood processing factory in the Shenmao District of Opportunity City.

The temperature in Opportunity City has risen to 30 degrees these days, and being close to the seaside, the humid and sultry air makes people sweat all over.

Shirtless workers are processing batches of fish, freezing them on ice and shipping them to other cities.

Holding a bag of food and water bought from the supermarket, Heinard walked through the workshop of the processing plant, went down an inconspicuous staircase, and came to an open basement.

In the basement, the old air conditioner made a whirring sound, and the temperature was maintained at 24 degrees, which was very comfortable.

Before opening the green iron door, Heinard could hear a woman breathing from inside.

The space in this basement is not small. It has been used as a warehouse before, but under Pihom's arrangement, it has become a secret safe house.

Lucina, wearing mint shorts and a black midriff-baring tank top, was doing push-ups with one hand.

Pihom's doctor warned Lucina that her internal organs were slightly damaged and it was best not to do any exercise for a week, but she was so active that she didn't take the doctor's words to heart at all.

Her slightly curly dark brown hair was tied into a ponytail, with a bandage wrapped around her waist and abdomen, and a thick gauze on one side of her cheek. It was a miracle that she could survive the battle with psykers with all her limbs intact.

"For rehabilitation exercises, the intensity of your movements is a bit too high." Heinard knew his daughter's personality and did not dissuade her too much.

He put the big shopping bag he was holding on the table aside and took out a three-layer beef burger.

"You know dad, exercise cures all diseases." Lucina finished her action, stretched her muscles and walked to the table.

Heinard handed the burger to Lucina, and then helped his daughter unscrew a large bottle of mineral water.

"By the way, how could we miss this?" Heinard smiled and took out a large box of Twinkies cream layer cakes from the big shopping bag. Lucina laughed and held the box of cakes in her arms.

Twinkies cream layer cake is one of the most popular high-calorie snacks in the United States. The reason why it is named "Twinkies" may be because of its simple price and sufficient portion. One box is enough for two children.

As for children, many young people and adults also like this kind of cream cake because its cream tastes mellow and fragrant, and it has a pleasant texture without being too sweet.

In short, it is a snack that can make people forget their fear of fat.

Lucina's amount of exercise can handle such high-calorie food, and she doesn't care much about her weight.

"It's so good to see you alive and kicking, my girl." Heinard sat aside and watched Lucina enjoying her meal.

"Me too, dad." Lucina touched Heinard's old-looking hand.

"I used to be so obsessed with Margaret... and your mother... that I was unwilling to accept the reality... and ignored your feelings." Heinard said.

"This is all over, and we have a new beginning, right? Mom will also hope that we can live a normal life." Lucina also sat down.

"That's right, girl, you are right, we should cherish the present moment." Heinard said with relief.

"Dad, you definitely didn't come here to talk about this, right?" Lucina looked at Heinard, and she understood what her father was thinking.

"That's right... you know why I'm here, just like I know you really want to ask me about Chen Ke..." Hainard laughed.

"He didn't come to see me. Didn't you tell him where I was? I don't think there is any need to keep this place a secret from him." Lucina's tone was a little anxious.

"It's not what you think, Lucina. Pihom and I now regard him as one of our own. His actions have proven his role and loyalty to the postman. The last step is just to summon the postman to gather and formally introduce him." To all members of the South and the North," Heinard shook his head.

"That means he... doesn't want to come on his own?" Lucina frowned, with some disappointment in her eyes.

"I don't know. Maybe he was too cautious, or he ran into some trouble. We haven't been able to contact him in the past two days," Heinard said.

"Can't contact...? What do you mean?" Lucina asked immediately.

"His phone is not in the service area. Either he removed the phone card, or he went to a place where there is no signal." Heinard said.

Lucina stood up slowly, threw the half-eaten hamburger on the table, stared at Heinard, and said angrily: "It seems you are not in a hurry at all?"

"Don't get excited, girl, we have to keep a low profile for the time being, remember? Maybe he is just using his own unique method to disappear. Didn't Hall and Priskin not come to see you either?" Heinard laughed.

"What if Chen Ke is really in trouble? Should we confirm this first? But you know, after I was kidnapped by those weirdos, he fished me out immediately, and you actually let him disappear Two days?" Lucina was a little excited.

"Girl...girl, sit down, listen to me carefully, sit down." Heinard knew Lucina's mood, and he held Lucina's forearm to calm her down.

Lucina slowly sat down and looked at Heinard with pleading eyes.

"You like him, right? I can tell." Heinard said.

Lucina didn't speak, but her breathing quickened a little.

"But I still want to advise you to stay away from him." Heinard said calmly.

"I don't know what you mean, Dad." Lucina shook her head.

"Tell me, Lucina, how did he fish you out from a group of weirdos?" Heinard asked.

Lucina thought about it, but she actually didn't know it herself, because she fainted when she saw Chen Ke pointing a gun at her, but she did see Chen Ke defeat a big man using his psychic power.

"He is very powerful, Dad, he is even more powerful than you think. He is always on target. He is a killer among killers. He is also very powerful in close combat..." Lucina gushed. She would definitely not think that Chen Ke was a spirit. The person who can tell this information to the postman tells others.

"Girl... I taught you everything I have, but I didn't teach you to lie, so you won't know how to lie either..." Heinard shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lucina sighed, she also knew that she could not deceive Heinard.

"That Chen Ke can't lie either. I don't even know now whether I should call him Chen Ke, Link, or Lin Mo..." Heinard laughed.

"What did he tell you?" Lucina asked curiously.

"I worked with a defector killer from the Si Group. That was a year ago. Believe it or not, he looks exactly like Chen Ke. Moreover, he is already dead." Hainard said calmly.

As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but thinking that Lucina didn't like the taste of tobacco, he silently put it back in his pocket.

"You told me that Chen Ke's name is Link, and he is Lin Mo's brother." Lucina smiled.

"Do you believe it? Link is Lin Mo's brother, but he doesn't know Lin Mo's sister." Heinard laughed.

Lucina said nothing.

"And it's not like I haven't dealt with Asra before. I can't say that I have no chance of winning against a silent witch, but that's only limited to one-on-one and long-distance sneak attacks. The deal that night was based on With Asra’s style, it’s impossible for both of you to come back alive.” Heinard said slowly.

Lucina knew what her father was going to say, he had already seen through it.

"Moreover, he told me that he had dealt with the Silent Witch. I would rather believe what he said is true, but it is impossible for me to believe that a man can rescue you from Asra's trap with only a pistol. ." Heinard said.

"Priskin told me that they used equipment to scan Chen Ke. He did not have liquefied psionic energy. He is not a psyker, and he has never used psionic energy in his operations." Lucina said, she was doing her best Keep the secret for Chen Ke.

"This is the most dangerous thing about him... He is either a monster we have never seen before, or he did not die that time, but lost his memory and gained mysterious powers. In short..." Hainard analyzed.

"Anyway, he saved me and didn't do anything harmful to any of us." Lucina retorted.

Heinard sighed, looked at Lucina who was a little anxious, and said earnestly: "Lucina, I'm glad that you can meet someone at this age who can open your heart. I also hope that you can be happy, but I can't let me His daughter is in danger, and those who fall in love with the devil will be devoured by the devil."

"Dad...he is not a demon. I have never seen a demon save anyone." Lucina said.
