[Comprehensive] So you are such New York

— Me too, nine.

Ji Jiu almost thought he had heard wrong.

The John she remembered had never said such a thing.He is a restrained man, or in other words, he is used to keeping his feelings in his heart.

She had to admit she didn't really know him.

But at this moment, while she felt sad, she also experienced deep happiness.

Yes, that's good, that's enough.

She suddenly wanted to understand that no matter how short the days ahead were, she already had this moment, so what else could she regret?

"John, I have to get my phone and charm back quickly, it's in the room at the end of the corridor."

Leaving from the man's embrace, Ji Jiu finally remembered the real purpose of his trip, and couldn't help feeling anxious, "There's not enough time."

John bowed his head and replied, "I'll take care of it, you should go back upstairs."

"But..." Ji Jiu frowned slightly, before he could speak, he suddenly saw someone coming down the stairs.

The shadow of the other party soon reached the stairs: "Sir, the alarm has been lifted, are you here... are you..." The last voice changed from doubt to confirmation.

John conveniently pressed Ji Jiu's head into his arms, blocking the sight of those who came.His voice was very low, sounding a bit displeased, and the tone was exactly the same as Hobbs: "Get out, Drake."

"Yes." The visitor hurriedly returned along the original road.

Only then did John let go of Ji Jiu and patted her on the shoulder: "Go. I'll go find you again."

Ji Jiu insisted: "I can handle it, just give me another minute."

"..." John was silent for a while, "Well, it's only one minute."

Ji Jiu hurried to the door of the storage room while there was no one around.However, just as she was about to press the combination lock, she felt a strange atmosphere.

It seems that something is hiding deep in the corridor, many people, many voices, noisy and crowded, but once you listen carefully, you can't hear anything.

But there was no time, so she opened the storage room familiarly, went straight to find out the mobile phone and the talisman paper, stuffed them into the pockets of her clothes, and took the earphones away along the way.

This process did not take a minute, and when she returned to the stairwell, John's voice was coming from upstairs.

He and Drake were standing in the corridor talking, when Ji Jiu went up, Drake subconsciously glanced at her, throwing a meaningful look.

John took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Moriarty's people are looking for you." His expression seemed careless, and he touched his tie while speaking.

He even learned this little trick very much.

Ji Jiu nodded: "...Oh."

However, she felt that the excuse she had thought up before might not be useful. No matter what she said, rumors would probably be flying all over the airship in a short time.

The guard who followed her before was waiting in the hall on the fourth floor. Ji Jiu explained, "I went downstairs to avoid it. I heard that the alarm was lifted?"

The guard replied: "There is no fire, probably something went wrong. Do you want to continue eating here?"

Ji Jiu waved his hand: "Go back and eat."

When she returned to the room, she immediately connected the phone to charge, and put away the spells by category. When everything was done, there was a knock on the door, and the guard said from outside, "Dinner is here."

"come in."

Ji Jiu was about to open the door, but the door was pushed open first. A man in a suit and leather shoes came in with a tray of meals, closed the door behind his back, and raised his eyebrows while watching her: "You look surprised."

"Because... I didn't expect..." Ji Jiu quickly pulled out a chair by the table and motioned for him to sit down, "Is it okay to come here so openly?"

John lowered his eyes and smiled, and pushed the tray in front of her: "Eat first." After a pause, he said, "Has the previous injury healed?"

Tonight is Spaghetti Bolognese. While rolling up the thin noodles on the plate with a fork, Ji Jiu replied: "Well, it's almost there, but the scabs are still itchy."

John hooked the corner of his mouth lightly: "Okay, don't grab it."

"I still know this." Ji Jiu shrugged and said suddenly, "Speaking of which, I was the only one, and I planned to go with the transport plane. Now that you are here...do you know how to fly a plane?"

John took a tissue from the table, reached out to wipe the sauce from her mouth, and said, "Stark and the others will be here soon, don't worry about leaving."

Ji Jiu's eyes widened immediately: "So, Moriarty is indeed related to Strack?"

"To be precise, it's Hydra." John put down the tissue and looked around the room, "Has Moriarty revealed anything to you?"

"She didn't say anything, but just returned the information I got from Strack." Ji Jiu stopped and hesitated for a while, "I think she might still be waiting for the opportunity."

But what kind of opportunity should we wait for?

She can't speak.

John patted her on the head and whispered: "It's okay, we can get out of here right away."

The room quickly became quiet, but it was different from the quietness when he was alone.

With this person by his side, Ji Jiu will always feel at ease and peaceful.She believed that he could solve all problems and turn all "bad" into "good".

Except himself.Because he's always on the right track.

Ji Jiu sighed in her heart, and in order to divert her attention, she raised her head again and said, "Speaking of which, when I went to get things just now, I felt a strange breath... It came from the depths of that layer, It's like a lot of spirits gathered together."

"You said there are many spirits on this boat? I didn't feel it." John frowned, "The atmosphere in New York is indeed a bit strange."

Ji Jiu thought about his words: "What happened in New York? ... I didn't notice anything about the one here before, and I didn't realize it until I got closer. I can only go again to make sure. If it's not an illusion, That's what they're hiding on purpose."

John nodded and said, "The Avengers will arrive before dawn, and we will act before then."

After nightfall, the airship was still slowly floating in the sky. Passenger planes passed by in the distance, and the signal lights on the wings kept flashing.

The brilliant lights of the city can be seen in the distance. New York stands by the sea and is divided into different blocks by the river.The place with the highest concentration of tall buildings must be Manhattan, and that area is also the brightest. The neon lights outline a continuous outline, almost illuminating the dark night sky.

The recent New York is the same as before Ji Jiu left, there are always many spirits wandering the streets for some reason.John even went to see Uncle Tom again and asked him about the situation, but even he didn't know.

Those new ghosts don't necessarily all have unfulfilled wishes, and it's even unclear why they appear here inexplicably.

"Ah? If you don't have a wish, shouldn't you be reincarnated automatically?" Ji Jiu became more and more confused, but she unconsciously had a bad feeling in her heart, "If it was Strucker who did it before, what happened after he was arrested? It should get better, right?"

The two have left the accommodation area at this moment.After John asked Ji Jiu out in the name of Hobbs, he still left the body.

Although they have the same appearance, they are two different people, and the transparent figure makes people more friendly.

John glanced at her, and pushed open the door to the stairwell on the second floor: "In fact, there is no. And the cause of this problem was not found in Strack's base."

Ji Jiu couldn't help but marvel: "If this is a man-made phenomenon, how much energy would it need? It's unlikely..."

While talking, they were already standing at the end of the corridor, and in front of them was the storage room they had visited in the afternoon.Ji Jiu felt it, and pointed to the left corridor: "The feeling here is more obvious."

She walked forward first, and it didn't take long for even John to notice the abnormality: "Be careful, Nine, there is indeed a problem here."

What appeared in front of the two was a metal gate.It is obviously different from other doors, using very strong materials, and requires a fingerprint lock to open.

Ji Jiu was in trouble, so he had no choice but to ask John, "Can you see if you can open it from the inside?"

John passed through the wall, but it took a while before he opened the door.His face was a little dignified, but he didn't say anything: "Come and see this."

Ji Jiu turned around and closed the door. There was also a fingerprint lock on the inner door, but it was not working.The doubts in her heart flashed, and when she turned her head, she was immediately shocked by the sight in front of her.

This is a double-height hall. The second floor and the first floor are connected by a gentle ramp, and there is a huge ball in the center surrounded by the ramp.

Perhaps this is not accurate, because they should not have a shape, but a collection of many ghosts.

Yes, there were countless ghosts in the sphere, and many of them didn't even take shape, but were just transparent, almost white phantoms.They seem to be bound by something in the ball and cannot leave. They can only keep entangled, floating around the ball, making vague struggling sounds.

However, there were so many of them that the entire sphere took on a bright blue color, illuminating the room.The mixed cries were like a monstrous tide, slapping the wall again and again.

Ji Jiu subconsciously covered her ears, but the cries of the ghosts kept hitting her chest, which made her have a splitting headache.

"Are you all right?" John put his hand on her shoulder and looked at the device in front of him seriously.

It just felt noisy outside the door, but now it was so close, it took Ji Jiu a long time to get used to it, her face was still a little pale: "The energy of this thing is enough to gather so many spirits in New York..." She froze for a moment, and suddenly thought I just came to the conclusion not long ago——

If there is such a large amount of energy, can the spirit materialize?

A sudden thought interrupted her train of thought, and John gave her a strange look. At this moment, a female voice came from the corridor opposite them: "Welcome, Nine. A few hours earlier than I imagined .”

Both of them were taken aback, Ji Jiu looked up and saw a beautiful blonde woman approaching them along the ramp.She was blocked behind the blue ball before, so no one could notice when she was here.

"Oh, are you not happy to be praised by someone with higher wisdom?."

Ji Jiu looked at her blankly, and said in shock, "You made this thing?"

Moriarty glanced at the ball casually: "It doesn't suit my taste, but as I said, it's a business, and it just so happens that I'm interested in things I don't understand."

"This is too strange." Ji Jiu frowned, shaking his head in disbelief, "Are you also responsible for the strange phenomenon that is happening in New York now?"

The blond woman looked at her, with a deep smile on her lips: "Of course not." Then, she reached out and pressed a switch on the wall, a wall slowly moved away, and the whole room was filled with starlight, "You Do you know where we are now?"

The outline of the tall building undulates not far away, the neon lights flicker, and the blue to black night sky wraps the stars.

Underneath are the everlasting lights of New York.
