[Zhongyingmei] Official Mascot

Chapter 10

Ellie waits on the top floor of the Avengers Tower.

It was her first time here.

She was a little confused as to why Dolores wanted to play with Tricia at this juncture.

It's been an eventful season recently, and the superheroes have been subjected to a severe test. They hunted down those terrible 'zombies' that would suddenly appear in the crowd all over the world, and the public opinion was raging.

The minister of the Ministry of Public Security also pressed them step by step through the media, making the whole thing even more complicated.

Ai Li soon realized that their real crisis was not those horrible people rushing at people in the downtown streets, but the persecution of them by government officials and the media.

She was worried, seeing all kinds of remarks emerging one after another, some people have begun to question the meaning of the city of the future, they think that these Chaoying who can single-handedly resist the government army are colluding to try to conquer the world,

There's a sudden interest in things like the 'Superhero Regulation Act', and there's already a lot of support in the hope that the government can keep these people in check.

This is not a good tendency.

However, Dolores suddenly asked her to ask Tricia out to play together at this time.

And last night in the video, she finally saw what she looks like now.

God, Ellie couldn't recover for a long time at that time, looking at the familiar white, tender and lovely seven or eight-year-old Dolores' face on the screen, she almost fainted on the spot.

No wonder she stopped videoing with herself for a long time before, and the two just sent short messages to communicate with each other.

Dolores didn't mean to hide it from anyone, so Ellie also told Tricia about it so that she wouldn't overreact when they met.

Tricia was also shocked and speechless.

Dolores said that everyone is busy now, and she is bored in the city of the future.

Especially recently, there have been a lot of things, the island is under martial law, no one is coming and going, no one is walking around on the streets, and even many shops are closed.

It is said that it is to prevent malicious people from getting in.

This reason is barely passable, but Ellie knows her, she will never come out to have fun by herself when everyone is too busy.

And now that the situation is so critical, why would she want to go shopping with her best friend?

Ellie found out that something was wrong. When Dolores made an appointment with the two of them, she said that she would come out secretly, just the three of them, but today she just went out, and someone came to take her to the Avengers Building .

And after she entered the building, a large number of people changed, and they sent her to the top floor like stars, and they acted very unusually, like bodyguards or something.

A fighter plane slowly landed on the platform, and Ellie's complicated thoughts suddenly converged.

The hatch opened, but a group of well-trained agents poured out of the fighter plane.

What kind of battle is this?

Ellie was stunned until she saw Dolores' small figure being led down by Peter.

The two of them walked into the building under full security, and Dolores walked towards Ellie: "...Hi..."

Ellie looked at her with unconcealed shock.

She quickly looked at Peter. Although she knew it in advance, it was still unbelievable to see it with her own eyes.

Peter shrugged at her, looking helpless.

Ellie sat down on the sofa, and now she was at eye level with Dolores.

"This is really..."

Ellie looked her up and down, small short hands and feet, round face with blond curly hair, this is how she saw Dolores at the beginning, when they were the same age, she didn't look as cute as she does now.

Probably because she's almost an adult now too...

Ellie sighed deeply and opened her arms: "I didn't expect to see you like this."

Dolores raised the corners of her mouth and threw herself into her arms with a smile.

"Oh... you are so small to hold now."

Ellie felt weird and couldn't help but look at her face carefully, her pink cheeks and big round eyes with long eyelashes looked like a doll...

She pursed her lips and kissed her twice, grinning: "I've started to like you now baby!"

"Oh--"

Dolores complained, "I knew it."

She also knows that she looks too cute now, which is one of the reasons for her headache.

It's all about worrying about my boyfriend.

Ellie let go of her reluctantly, cleared her throat: "Okay, then can I ask what's going on?"

Those agents did not come close, but stood aside, arranging their clothes and guns, and adjusting their equipment.

Ellie felt very bad when she saw this posture, and why did Peter come?

She looked at him suspiciously, Peter opened his mouth, and his expression became very strange.

He hesitated, and explained dryly: "I have a mission..."

Dolores took her hand and shook it. Ellie lowered her head and saw a few traces of complicated expressions in her looking at her.

"You will know soon, can you keep it secret for me temporarily?"

Ellie was keenly aware of something: "Is it related to the recent incident?"

Dolores nodded: "Yes...I'm sorry, that's all I can say."

She bit her lip, showing a hint of guilt.

It's not that she doesn't want to tell Ellie, it's just that this matter is not trivial, and it's a very serious task, not just a private matter between Tricia and her.

These agents are all here for today. She is just a bait today, which doesn't mean she can't even keep a secret.

Dolores was silent, she hoped that Tricia could give her an explanation.

Due to the current crisis, the flow of people on the street seems to have been affected. Manhattan is still bustling, but people are also showing some vigilance and fear in the hurried pace of walking on the street.

Ellie was walking down the street wearing sunglasses, and Dolores was holding her hand and following her.

The two of them walked into a certain cafe and sat by the window waiting for Tricia to arrive.

Peter disappeared with those agents, which should be the mission they said.

Ellie knew that there were actually several plainclothes agents protecting them from afar.

Whether it's the disappearing Peter and most of the people, or the hidden agents around, Ellie is very restless.

She stirred the latte in her glass distractedly.

Dolores sat quietly across from her, seemed to be preoccupied, did not take the initiative to say anything, just stared blankly as if in a daze.

Allie felt that everything, even the surrounding air, was full of doubts, as if something heavy was undercurrent surging under this unbearable calm.

She wasn't stupid, and Dolores' anomaly couldn't be explained by the fact that she had shrunk.

To be honest, Dolores' silence and emptiness made her very uneasy and worried.

But what disturbed her even more was another thing she suddenly noticed.

Ellie suddenly wanted to ask Dolores why she asked Tricia out.

It doesn't make sense at all.

It was this conspicuous doubt that made her suddenly have a very bad guess.

Ellie had a very ominous premonition, as if the surrounding air suddenly turned into a sharp blade and cut through the fine hair on the surface of her skin, which made her terrified.

With Tricia's name lingering in her mind, Ellie seemed to see a string of mysteries and terrible truths surfacing behind her name.

Is this the purpose of Dolores today?

Ellie didn't dare to think anymore, she swallowed stiffly, and tightly held the handle of the spoon.

A small gentle hand suddenly came up, Ellie raised her eyes and met Dolores's ups and downs.

The tacit understanding between them does not need to say anything, Ellie has already seen everything from her eyes.

Dolores said softly, "I'm sorry..."

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Ellie felt that she might cry.

She didn't know what the hell was going on.

But the way Dolores showed at this moment made her heart ache.

Ellie didn't know how many things she had experienced when she couldn't see, so she spoke to her with this look and tone.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the sudden swelling in her chest.

Ellie turned away her wet eyes, looked out of the window, and happened to meet Tricia who was walking from the other side of the street.

Tricia wore a big hat with a wide brim, and her sunglasses covered most of her face, revealing bright and conspicuous lips.

She didn't know what was going to happen, she raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at Ellie in the window, raised her hand and waved.

The moment Ellie saw her, she panicked for a moment, but she quickly settled down and subconsciously smiled at her.

Dolores also saw Tricia, and immediately tightened Ellie's hand.

Tricia, wearing a long skirt, quickly walked across the street and pushed open the door of the coffee shop.

"Hey!"

She walked briskly, raised her hand and took off her sunglasses, revealing her gray-blue eyes with a bright smile.

"Here I am, when did you guys arrive? Wow...Dolly, you look so..."

Tricia's gaze immediately fell on Dolores.

Her surprise was obvious, but she immediately laughed again: "It's too cute!"

She sat down at the table with a smile on her lips, and couldn't help but put her arms around her and kissed her.

"I don't mind if you can't change back."

Seeing her smiling face, Dolores' eyes moved, and a smile slowly appeared.

"But I really want to change back...at least for my boyfriend."

She shrugged and looked at Tricia: "I'm with Peter, but unfortunately I became like this not long after, he seems very distressed."
