The descendant of the Great Sage in Marvel

Tandy picked up the key from the box and looked over it. On the surface, this key is really ordinary. It looks like something from the 60s. It has a very simple structure. Let alone today, even if it was 10 years in advance, it would not be able to function at all. Deter thieves.

It can be seen that if it is kept carefully, there are not many signs of wear and tear on it. It just seems that it has been around for too long, and it is still marked by time. The original yellow brass color has now become a little dull.

"Is this the key to the safe that dad left behind?" Tandy asked with some confusion. It wasn't that she didn't believe her mother, but the key looked too simple. Even for a big-hearted person, I'm afraid I won't set the lock of the safe like this.

Tandy's mother shook her head gently and said, "Don't tell me whether this key is the key to the safe. I never knew that your father had a private safe in the bank. I don't know where you came from. I got the information, but if there really is such a safe, then this is the only key to our house."

"Of course, it's possible that this key can't open the safe at all. After all, Roxon Company took away most of the things in our house. Except for these things that are worthless, meaningless, and they don't like, they will leave us.

This box was originally placed in your father's study, and there were some messy documents in it, but those were taken away by Roxon Company, leaving only the key and the dolls. "

Talking about the past, Tandy's mother was still full of resentment. It's no wonder that from what Leo learned, what Roxon did was indeed inhumane.

"Take a look." Tandy took the key and looked through it twice in his hand. He really didn't find anything special about the brass key. Then he handed the key to Leo's eyes, hoping that he would Help me take a look.

Leo reached out to take the key and looked at it carefully. In the beginning, when the benefits were serious, there was nothing special about this key. Although it is less common in the United States now, in the previous life, many places in China were still using such keys.

For example, the door to the basement of Leo's house in his previous life was unlocked with a brass key like this. Or if you lose those keys at home and go to a locksmith at a roadside stall to get a lock, this material is usually used.

But if you look a little more closely, compared to those keys, this brass key really looks more delicate. In the less eye-catching part of the key's handshake, there are some fine carvings on both sides. Exquisite patterns, but if you look further, you will see that these patterns are symbols that are difficult to understand.

But apart from these patterns, other parts of the key are in sharp contrast to these patterns. This is where Tandy and his mother feel that the key is very crude.

The sophistication of a key depends on the difficulty of unlocking. Generally speaking, the more complex the process required to unlock, the more sophisticated the key manufacturing process will be, and the more complex and varied the tooth patterns used to unlock will be.

But the tooth pattern of this key couldn't be more precise. Even a beginner can easily copy this key. In the previous life, such craftsmanship was only worth three yuan at most.

And the place that most kills obsessive-compulsive disorder is on the keychain at the back of the key. Generally, a round or rectangular hole will be left on the key for easy hanging and carrying.

If you want to leave such a hole, you only need to pay a little attention to the mold when making the key, and you can easily do it. However, this key seemed to claim that it was crudely made. The hole at the back end of the key had not been polished at all. The entire circle was filled with irregular burrs, which looked like excess brass spilled during casting.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with this key. As for whether it is the key we are looking for, we can only find out by trying it." Leo returned the key to Tandy. After all, it was her father's relic. It's them who have to find the clues, and it should be Tandy who opens it.

Although this key doesn't really look like the key to your safe, since it's possible, they have to give it a try anyway. After all, none of them have ever seen that so-called safe. Maybe it's what it looks like. A product of the last century.

Tandy took the key, held it firmly in his hand, then carefully closed the box, stood up and said to his mother: "Okay, Mom, let's go try it first." .You have a good rest first and I will come back to accompany you after everything is done."

After saying that, Tandy turned around and walked out, while quietly greeting Leo and Tyrone with gestures. But just as Leo was about to leave, he was suddenly called down by Tandy's mother.

"Please wait a moment, okay? I have something I want to talk to you about." Tandy's mother stood up from behind the table and said to Leo calmly.

Tandy turned around in surprise, looking back and forth between Leo and her mother several times.

Leo was also stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said to Tandy and the others: "Okay, you two go out first, and I will follow right away."

After saying that, Leo turned around and walked back to the dining table, where he sat down leisurely. Faced with this situation, Tandy was very curious about what her mother wanted to say to Mr. Leo, but since they both said they wanted to talk alone, they had no choice but to walk out.

After Tandy closed the door gently, Leo asked: "Then what do you want to tell me, Mrs. Bowen?"

Tandy's mother shook her head: "Call me Lina. I have no other intention. I asked you to stay this time. I just want to talk to you about Tandy."

"No problem, she is your daughter, I am here to listen, Ms. Linna."

Tandy's mother pursed her lips and said softly: "If my guess is correct, you have been helping her these days, Mr. Leo."

"Ashamed, it didn't help much. I just happened to find out something. Your daughter insists on pinning charges for her father. I admire this spirit, so I helped her." Leo said. Wave your hands.

Tandy's mother smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This is what I have been worried about, Mr. Leo. Tandy is still young, and there are many things in this world that she is not clear about. Do you understand? "

"If I'm not wrong, you want to say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but the fate of these calves is that they often become tigers' full meals, right?" Leo smiled softly.

If someone suddenly smiles when they are talking about this topic with her, Tandy's mother will definitely think that this is ridicule or contempt for herself. But seeing the smile on the face of the man in front of her, she didn't feel this way at all. Instead, she felt a little calmer inside.

"The examples you gave are interesting, but there is no way to hide the cruelty and danger of this matter. Eight years ago, I was just like Tandy now, unscrupulously wanting to find the truth and regain what I had lost. s things.

But what is the result? I can only hide here and suffer a bloody blow. Maybe in your eyes, this incident is just a scandal of shirking responsibility and framing, but I hope you can know this matter. It's not as simple as it seems. "

Leo looked at Tandy's mother, whose face was full of worry, and finally understood why she suddenly asked him to stay and talk.

"So you are worried about this, but please rest assured. I think Tandy is fully mentally prepared for how serious this matter is. And as long as I am around, I will do my best to ensure their safety." .”

As he spoke, Leo stopped what Tandy's mother wanted to say, and then said: "I also said that I already have a fairly good understanding of the complexity of this case. There is indeed a lot of careful thinking in it. Terrifying details, such as Roxon’s immediate actions and performance after the incident occurred.

To be fair, Roxon is a well-deserved leading company in New Orleans, whether it was eight years ago or now. With the strength and scale of such a company, even if a major accident such as a drilling platform explosion occurs, it is still capable of handling it easily.

The loss of more than a dozen workers was a horrific tragedy in the eyes of ordinary people, but to be honest, in the eyes of Roxon, it was probably not a big deal, not even as big as the exploding drilling platform. , causing losses to their company.

From this point of view, Roxon's subsequent handling may be very normal in the eyes of ordinary people, but in my opinion, it is a bit overreacted. Isn’t it, Ms. Linna?”

"You're right." Tandy's mother also had to admit that Leo was telling the truth.

“For such large companies, the actual losses on their books are certainly painful, but the most important thing for these large companies is technology and talent.

It is self-evident to Roxon that your husband is a member of Roxon's chief expert team, or even the best among them.

But it was just such a person who was splashed with dirty water by Roxon Company just after his death, and even took away every piece of property in his family.

If there is no other reason but to simply shirk responsibility, then for such a large company, such a decision is unacceptable. It's so stupid.

Your husband has passed away. No matter how valuable he was during his lifetime, it already means that everything has been lost. From this point of view, there is nothing wrong for Roxon Company to give up on him.

But don’t forget the identity your husband represents. If an important scientist and technical expert like him is abandoned by Roxon Company at this time, what will other employees in this company think and think? Woolen cloth

Such a move will undoubtedly cause a heavy blow to the cohesion of the entire company. I am afraid that such losses cannot be made up by taking away your family's property.

Therefore, there must be other deep-seated reasons why Roxon Company does this, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems, what do you think?"

Tandy's mother looked at Leo blankly: "Since you know so much, why do you still want to help her continue the investigation? Once Roxon Company knows, do you know how dangerous it will be? This is not something that we ordinary people can deal with. "

"But you also know that Tandy will never give up, right?" Leo shook his head and pointed to the crux of the problem. The key to this matter has never been the necessary help, but whether there is help or not, Tandy will not give up the investigation and will persevere.

As long as she persists in this matter, the threats and dangers from Roxon Company will never disappear. Until one of the two sides falls.

Faced with Leo's question, Tandy's mother suddenly fell silent. As Tandy's daughter, no one knew this stubborn girl better than her.

Just like Leo said, even without their help, even if she is the only one who persists, she will never give up. As long as she continues to investigate for one day, the danger she faces will never be eliminated.

She figured this out years ago. It's just that at that time, Tandy's power was still very weak and he had no ability to attract the ideas of Roxon Company.

But in recent months, Tandy's investigation has become deeper and deeper. In a way, it is indeed getting closer to the truth. However, such changes also make Tandy's mother feel more and more... Panic, because the closer a person is to a monster, the easier it is to be eaten by it.

Especially in the past few days, judging from what Tandy revealed when he returned home, they were close to finding the truth of the matter.

Not only did her boyfriend fail to listen to her advice and stay away from these things, but her daughter also fell deeper and deeper into the situation. This situation completely plunged Tandy's mother into deep fear.

That's why she will use various reasons and methods at all costs to force her boyfriend and daughter to give up the idea of ​​continuing.

But the attempt that had failed a few years ago still would not succeed today. In the end, she compromised and handed the key she found into her daughter's hands.

But now, her daughter was about to face that terrifying monster, but she was powerless. She couldn't do anything. She could only seek medical treatment urgently, and put her last hope in Leo, a new man.
