Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 25 The water here is very deep

After sleeping for about three hours, Kevin woke up at eight o'clock in the morning when the alarm clock sounded to remind him to go to work.

Although he only slept for a few hours, Kevin didn't feel tired at all.

I have to say that superhuman physiques are indeed powerful. If Kevin had such a physique in his previous life, he would not have to worry about being late for work after playing games all night.

Coming out of the bedroom, Kevin saw Kimiko sleeping soundly on the sofa.

And... Starlight is busy in the kitchen making breakfast.

"You got up so early?"

Seeing Xingguang busy in the kitchen, Kevin asked in surprise.

Starlight replied casually:

"I didn't sleep at all. Pass me the plate over there."

Kevin handed the plate to Starlight and watched her put the toasted bread and poached eggs in it, and then looked at Kimiko who was sleeping on the sofa.

Noticing Kevin's gaze, Starlight knew what Kevin was going to ask and explained:

"While you were sleeping, I talked to her again, told her about her current situation, and told her not to go out casually. I would find a way with her about going back, and then I released her."

Starlight said, put the prepared breakfast on the table, and said:

"We can't keep her in a cage forever, that would be too much."

"Then it's impossible to keep it in my house forever!"

Kevin frowned as he listened.

He originally thought about finding an opportunity to send Kimiko to the protagonist group and let them help him deal with this trouble.

Looking at Xingguang like this, does she want Kimiko to live with her parents?

"if not?"

Starlight said:

"I live in a house here in New York. My mother occasionally comes over to visit me. If she sees Kimiko, how should I explain it?"

"Have you never thought about how I would explain if my friend came to my place and saw Kimiko?"

"Do you have friends...?"

"?"

I@#@#¥......

Kevin has a curse word that he doesn't know whether to say or not.

I’ve seen it hurt, but I’ve never seen anything so heartbreaking!

Before time travel, Kevin had a few friends, but after time travel, he had no interpersonal relationships like those in the deep sea. Let alone friends, he didn’t even have any colleagues with whom he had a slightly better relationship!

But I have a lot of fish friends, such as dolphins in the aquarium, squid in the sea...

But it’s impossible for these things to visit Kevin’s house!

Kevin felt that Xingguang did it on purpose, and his expression suddenly became very unkind. He stared at Xingguang for a long time without saying anything.

"Uh... I'm sorry, cough... you can try the breakfast I made, even though it's just simple bread and steak..."

Starlight knew that she had probably hit Kevin's pain point, so she changed the subject with a smile.

Kevin rolled his eyes and didn't share her understanding. He sat down at the dining table and continued:

"Anyway, she can't live here forever."

"I know, I will help her find a way back before then, except for smuggling."

Smuggling is not impossible, but when she thinks that Kimiko was kidnapped and brought here because of smuggling, Xingguang feels that this road is too dangerous.

Kimiko can't speak and doesn't know English, so it's not convenient for her to communicate. Once the stowaway has evil intentions, even if Kimiko has super powers, she will probably be in danger.

But speaking of this...

Starlight recalled what Kimiko had communicated with her before she fell asleep, and her face suddenly became solemn:

"Deep Sea, there is something I want to tell you."

"Kevin."

"Um?"

"My name is Kevin, just call me by my name in private from now on."

Seeing as Starlight made him breakfast and he didn't have to go out for fast food, Kevin didn't mind getting closer to Starlight.

Starlight blinked at Kevin, raised the corners of her mouth a little, and continued:

"Okay, Kevin, I have something to tell you."

"Say it."

"I talked to Kimiko yesterday, and she told me that her abilities were not innate. Someone injected her with a blue medicine, and she only gained the abilities after the injection."

Starlight paused at this point: "...So I think someone is experimenting on humans with a potion that can give them super powers. We should..."

Kevin sighed inwardly, put down his fork, and interrupted seriously:

"Annie, we shouldn't get involved in this."

Starlight was stunned and looked at Kevin with a somewhat astonished expression:

"Why? Aren't we superheroes?"

"We were never superheroes, we were just stars under the Vought Group, so listen to me, if you want to stay in the Seven, forget about it."

Kevin said to Xingguang earnestly.

The water in Compound No. 5 is very deep. If it goes deeper, not only Starlight but also Kevin himself will be in danger.

Although this is what Starlight did in the original work, that was Starlight after she had grown up, not the little girl she is now, who still holds hope for everything.

Kevin likes this beautiful quality in Starlight. Being with good people makes people feel happy and there is no need to be defensive.

In addition, the two of them were now considered friends, so Kevin was willing to advise the other party to stop the investigation.

But...if Starlight gives up so easily, then she is no longer Starlight.

"Kevin, someone is using special... special potions to create super humans! Kimiko is just one of them. If the people who create super humans continue to create new super humans in the future, and there are criminals among these super humans, then... …”

"Then it will be handled by us 'superheroes' and the people of the motherland."

"So why don't we solve this problem at the source?"

Starlight didn't understand, she had no idea what Kevin was thinking.

A bad thing is about to happen, and they have the ability to find the source, but Kevin doesn't want to eliminate it from the source, but allows it to continue to develop?

What a superhero!

Kevin and Starlight looked at each other, Starlight's eyes were firm and never shifted in the slightest. She stared straight at Kevin, hoping to get an answer from him.

Kevin first looked away and moved his eyes down to the breakfast with only one bite left on the plate. He silently ate up the remaining bits and then put down his fork:

"Are you sure you want to take care of this?"

"I am sure!"

Starlight answered without hesitation.

Kevin stared at her deeply and thought for a while before saying:

"Very good, then remember, from now on, only you and I know about this matter. No matter how you investigate, you cannot disclose this matter to anyone."

"Not even people from the motherland?"

"Oh, a native of the motherland?"

Kevin was almost amused by Starlight's stupid question. He did not directly say anything bad about the people of the motherland, but said:

"If you have a good relationship with Maeve, you can go to Maeve and ask her what kind of people the people of the motherland are. You don't have to listen to her answer. You just need to observe her reaction, and you will know the answer you want to know. ”

Hearing Kevin say this, Xingguang understood something in a daze:

"Are the people from the motherland just like the transparent people...bastards?"

Calling him a bastard is a bit flattering to the people of the motherland, but he is worse than a bastard.

But no matter how much you say, it’s better for Starlight to see it with her own eyes. After Starlight asks Maeve to confirm her attitude towards the people of the motherland, she can guess who the people of the motherland are.

Starlight is innocent, but she is not an idiot.

"Anyway, the matter is settled for now. In addition, you'd better find a way to prepare a separate safe house for her. My place is not a safe place."

It is true that no one comes to Kevin's home, but sometimes the group will come to his home to film documentaries to strengthen his character.

Kimiko also runs the risk of being discovered if she stays here.
