I used to believe in science

Chapter 8 Science and Technology 08

"10 months?" Antoinette thought for a while and answered.

The other party nodded and thought about it seriously, "Yeah, the last time we met at... the Stark Technology Exhibition?" Then the other party stopped teasing and changed to a friendly tone, "Are you still working?"

"Yes, there is a case." Antoinette answered him, looking at the time on the dashboard, "You don't have any activities tonight?" She was surprised that the other party was not at a certain banquet at this time.

Bruce Wayne was her friend.

Contrary to the commercial competition between Stark Enterprises and Wayne Enterprises in the outside world, the relationship between the two companies has been very good since their parents. Bruce and his brother and sister still support each other after their parents are gone.

"Actually I was there, but I heard there was an FBI team here, so I ran out to check."

"Then you found yourself lucky?" Antoinette quickly interrupted his mysterious tone. Most girls would be fascinated by his words, but Antoinette was not among them, she was too familiar with this man up.

"My luck." Bruce shrugged. "How's the case?"

"It's over, we'll probably stay here for one night today and leave tomorrow."

"Oh, it's better to stay one more night and come to tomorrow's banquet."

"Wait, what banquet?" Antoinette felt that the topic was changing a little too quickly, and she couldn't keep up.

"Tomorrow night, I have a party at home."

"Can I ask what party it is?"

"It's not a bad thing, I think it's better to be a little mysterious?"

"Okay..." Antoinette breathed out. Bruce obviously insisted on keeping it mysterious, so there was no need for her to ask, and they hadn't talked for a long time. She thought for a while and asked, "Can I bring someone?"

"Of course." Bruce looked at her a little surprised, but quickly put on a teasing tone, "Although I prefer you to come by yourself, I'm happy to be a flower protector."

"Thank you, but I don't want to be the target of public criticism." Antoinette took a quick breath and replied.She didn't want to be stared at by those famous ladies in Gotham all night.

When Antoinette returned to the police station, the whole team sat together and looked at her when she walked in.Morgan was the first to ask, "Your friend?"

"Yes." Antoinette dragged a chair and sat down, and said without hesitation, "You have come to a conclusion, haven't you?"

"Rossi said it was Lamborghini's concept car." Emily said tentatively, staring at Antoinette's expression.

"So?" Concentrated, but the old god was there and even made himself a glass of water to drink.

"We all know that there is a... well-known rich man in this city."

"Your evaluation is a bit conservative Emily, Wayne Enterprises is the economic backbone of this city."

Emily was surprised by Antoinette's outspokenness. She turned her head and looked at JJ, and turned her head again, and the gossiping expressions of the two were obvious.

But Antoinette ignored them. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Reid, who was sitting next to him, and sent an invitation, "Hey, there is a banquet tomorrow night, the kind that elites from all walks of life will go to. Are you interested?"

So everyone, including Reid, showed expressions as if a 500 million prize had been slammed on their faces.

"It's here." The sound was accompanied by the sound of brakes. Antoinette felt that she had a tendency to lean forward but was safely reined in. She thought the plane had landed.

Then an outstretched hand rested on her shoulder, shaking her not gently, she subconsciously pushed away the hand that disturbed her sleep, but the other hand stubbornly reached it again, and shook her harder, and She called out in a loud voice, "Hey, wake up, you can't sleep here."

In the end, her head was shaken and hit the glass, and she woke up with a loud bang.

She was sitting in a small space, maybe she wasn't on the plane anymore, but in Morgan's car, she rubbed her eyes and thought in a daze, then turned her head and said, "Thank you, Morgan..."

"Who?" When she saw the face of a strange white male in the driver's seat beside her, the other party also frowned in confusion.

Because the distance between them was too close, Antoinette's still awake brain completely lost rational control, screamed, and quickly grabbed the other's wrist that was still on her shoulder and twisted it aside.

"Hey hey hey!"

The other party raised his other hand in the air to comfort him, and said with an amused expression, "I'm sorry that I didn't see a pretty boy when I opened my eyes, but I don't look so human-like, do I?"

"Who are you?" Antoinette tried her best to back off and lean on the car door on her side, her other hand was hanging around her neck, which delayed her actions.

"Are you sleepy?" The other party restrained his amused expression, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm Ethan, your good partner, remember?"

"Oh," Antoinette woke up now, "Sorry, I was a little confused just now." She realized now that she was dreaming, and she never got on the plane back to Washington, and she and Hodge asked for leave. One day in Gotham, in reality she should be lying in a hotel in Gotham right now.

She glanced quickly at the rearview mirror, and sure enough, she met a pair of blue eyes and a head of red hair in the mirror.

"Can you let go now?" Antoinette turned around and realized that he was still pinching the other's wrist, so he quickly shook it off.Ethan is a man with a good figure, he may be more powerful than Morgan, and it is absolutely impossible for Nettie's body to capture Morgan so easily.

"Did you fall on your head in the previous mission? Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" Ethan said kindly with genuine concern

"No no no, thank you." She waved her hand, and some details of the previous dreams slowly emerged, she tried her best to catch them and deal with the colleague in her dream, "I just want to go home and have a good sleep .”

"I can understand." Ethan shrugged.

"Thank you." Antoinette opened the car door and hit her shoulder when she got out, causing a burst of pain, which reminded her of 'herself' injured in the previous mission.

Antoinette closed the car door behind her. She had already remembered which house her 'unknown house' was. When she was about to walk over, the people in the car yelled Her "Natalie? Who's Morgan?"

"A handsome black-skinned guy." Antoinette replied without thinking, and the other party raised one eyebrow and nodded playfully, but Antoinette did not correct the other party's wrong thoughts.

When she walked into the small yard of her house, the car behind her started to leave.

Antoinette is really tired now, she doesn't understand why she still has dreams in such a mental state, but she chooses to go back to the house and sleep directly on the sofa in the living room.

For a moment she should have fallen asleep.But some sense of crisis forced her to open her eyes.She sat up and looked around, the light was dim, and she could see everything in the living room at a glance, so she walked around, and when she walked through the kitchen, something was wrong, so she stepped back and looked at the open door. The windows were blowing curtains because of the wind.

Will she have the strength to open this window when she returns?

She quickly turned her head and went to the cabinet in the living room to get the weapon inside.But a strong wind blew behind her, and a force suddenly pushed her down.

Behind her was the howling of a canine and wolf, and something like a claw pressed against her shoulder.Her injured shoulder hit the ground and her vision went dark.But the survival instinct made her raise her intact hand and push it upwards fiercely.She hit the opponent, and the opponent's suppression relaxed, and she took the opportunity to turn around and get up.

She couldn't see the other person's face clearly without turning on the light, but she would definitely not be mistaken, the one squatting on the ground was a human being.

Or a human being, ignoring his bright green eyes and his jagged teeth even in the dark, and the scratching sound of the nails scratching the ground and the floor.

The man grabbed her leg, as if being clamped by iron pliers.

Antoinette could feel the scars on her legs through the fabric of her trousers, and she wanted to move away, but it only took a flop to catch up to her.Thanks to the toughness of the character in her dream, she reached out her hand in time to block the opponent. This was the first time she saw the nails on this hand at such a close distance. The claws that were as sharp as a beast were mixed with mud and suspicion. With a sigh of relief, he pinched the opponent's wrist and held it in a stalemate, but the strength from the bottom to the top was not as strong as the opponent's inhuman strength. The long nails rested on the tip of her nose, and slowly moved down to poke into her eye sockets.

There was a heavy slap at the door, and Nettie hoped it was the police, not her non-human companion lying on top of her.

She glanced to the side in a hurry, but she couldn't see anything. On the contrary, the momentary distraction made her lose a little strength, and her finger claws pierced into her eye socket.

Then, the sound of the door being kicked open and the sound of the gun being loaded——

The rest is like slow motion.

Huge gunshots rang in her ears, and then a sticky, fishy-sweet liquid splashed on her head.The force acting on her hand disappeared in an instant, and her arm pushed up with too much force to push it away from her body.

A heavy voice fell beside her, and she rolled twice.

And Antoinette just lay there gasping for breath, and his mind went blank for the rest of his life.

Her nose was uncomfortable from inhaling the liquid, so she reached out and touched it, but her face was sticky.Raising her hand, she saw a piece of scarlet stained on her finger. After twisting her fingertips, her slowly returning consciousness made her realize that it was blood.
