Monica sat in the monitoring room of the basement with her hands folded, looking at Eric on the screen, watching him touch the black ball inlaid on the ground, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and turning her eyes, the person in front of her On the table, Eric's helmet was placed upright.

She stared at Eric and murmured, "So you still remember them."

In the open-air garden, Eric gently touched the ball, and he couldn't help thinking of the scene where he and Monica were here a few years ago.

Monica brought him here. More than ten years ago, this place was just a barren mountain. The two walked through the woods and stood in the middle of the mountain. She took his finger and pointed to a small building in the mountain. Wooden house, said: "Our home is here, okay?"

Eric looked at her indifferently, smiled, and said, "Why here?"

"Do you remember what I said?" Monica looked up at Eric, with a slight smile on her face, and said, "It's safe here."

Eric didn't answer, with a disapproving expression on his face.

"You don't think so!" Monica said affirmatively, and she squeezed his hand tightly, "But, I feel safe here, so, I hope our home is here."

"Perhaps, you're right." Eric said, "This place...is barely a quiet place, that's all. But, no matter what I think, as long as you are happy!"

"Eric!" Monica frowned slightly, "If...you don't like this place, I can choose another place to buy it."

"Buy it?" Eric squinted at the childish Monica, "This means you have already bought this place!"

Monica looked at Eric quietly, sighed, and said, "Yes, I bought it."

Eric's face sank, and he said, "You should know that we shouldn't do this."

There was a look of disappointment in Monica's eyes, she smiled and said, "I know, but I've already bought it."

Eric let go of Monica's hand and said indifferently, "I won't live in this place with you."

Monica looked at the hand that was let go by Eric, she put it behind her, looked at Eric who had no expression, and said, "If this is the case, it means...we will continue to wander. Is it, Eric?"

"No, it's not us, you're not among them!" Eric looked back at Monica, "Ever since you mentioned having a child, I've been thinking about our future."

"Really?" Monica was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and asked, "This is the result of your thinking? You mean, we...break up?"

Eric stared at Monica for a long time, and said, "You are still young, and you will have a new life after you leave me."

"You are so sweet, Eric, you don't have to think about me at all." Monica twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled a little, "I don't need you to think about it for me in my future life. Now, I just want to know , Why do you want to break up with me!?"

for what?Eric silently stared at Monica, who was forced to smile, and said, "Don't you know?"

Monica raised her eyebrows and said, "Because I bought this place? Because I wanted a home? Or because..." There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Or because you knew I was pregnant?"

Eric nodded calmly and said, "I'm considering what you said."

Monica smiled. She folded her hands, looked into Eric's determined eyes, and said, "My child, I will give birth."

"That can't change my decision." Eric said lightly, "A child who is not expected should not come to this world, Monica, don't be childish."

"Am I childish?" Monica sneered, "If I was childish, shouldn't I yell not to break up with you? But, I didn't. Also, don't get me wrong, I said I would Having this child is not to keep you, or not to want to break up with you." She paused, "I'm just telling you, even if you break up with me, I will give birth to this child."

Eric frowned, reached out to Monica, and said, "Monica! No way!"

Monica took a step back and said, "You go! We break up, I agree, from today, from now on."

Eric looked at Monica in silence for a while, and said, "You are very smart, but you can't understand why I don't want children, why should I break up with you?"

"I understand." Monica nodded and said with a wry smile: "Of course I understand, but I also understand that even without this child, you will leave me because of your ambition, the most important thing in your heart It's not finished yet, so here you go, Eric."

Eric was silent.

"Don't worry about me!" Monica said, "I can go back by myself."

Eric took out a box from his pocket, walked up to Monica silently, and handed over the small black square box.

"What is this? A parting gift?" Monica asked with raised eyebrows.

Eric looked at Monica's self-deprecating eyes and said in a low voice, "No, no."

Monica didn't ask any more questions, she simply took the small black box from him, nodded and said, "Goodbye, Eric." After speaking, she turned and walked towards the small house in the valley.

Eric watched Monica's figure disappear into the small room, and slowly turned and left.

Eric retracted his thoughts immersed in the past, stood up slowly, turned his head, and his eyes fell on a micro-monitor under the eaves in the distance without any mistakes, and said, "Monica, your conditions."

Felix, who was standing not far from Eric, was taken aback, turned his head suddenly, but didn't see Monica, he looked at Eric suspiciously, and said in amazement: "What? Monica Going out! I watched her go out!"

Eric ignored Felix, but looked directly at the micro-monitor.

In the underground monitoring room, Monica looked at Eric who was looking directly at the monitor on the screen. He stared at the camera firmly, as if looking directly at her through the monitor. She and Eric on the screen stared at each other for a long time , suddenly laughed.

Former Odyssey Genetic Institute.

Heidi Colin walked into the office hall carrying a black suitcase.

In the hall with emergency lights on, six young men of different heights stood up.

Caliban was leaning on a chair in the corner, and when he saw Heidi stood up immediately, he said, "You're late!"

Heidi glanced at Caliban with an uneasy expression and asked, "Where's Eric?"

"He has something to go with the vaccine first," Caliban said.

Heidi raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go first? Where did he go?"

"How could I know that Eric seems to be the kind of person who will tell people wherever he goes? Besides, even if he is the kind of person who will tell others whereabouts, it seems that he won't tell me?" Caliban Shrugged and said, "Oh, but before he left, he told me that we should take someone away first, and he will meet us in the past. It's getting late now, so I said we should leave quickly?"

Heidi stared sullenly at Caliban and said, "You can call me about it, can't you? Wait until I get here?"

"Why, did I do something wrong? Anyway, you are coming, aren't you?" Caliban shrugged and said innocently: "Can you go? We don't have any extra time to waste!"

Heidi snorted coldly, and said to the six young men: "You have all heard it, now put on your work clothes. I will give you 5 minutes, and leave in 5 minutes." The black suitcase fell on a desk, turned around and left.

Caliban looked at Heidi, turned around and went to the desk to open the box, clapped his hands at the six young men, and said, "Okay, everyone, come here! You only have 5 minutes!"

The six young men didn't say much, they came over one after another to get the clothes from Caliban, and started to change their clothes separately.

Five minutes later, Heidi started the car and drove out, followed by Caliban in another car, carrying three young people in each of them.

Rebecca's house, basement.

Monica smiled, picked up Eric's helmet, and walked unhurriedly to a corner of the basement, where there was a small elevator, and she pressed the button.

The elevator took Monica up the cylindrical tunnel.

At the same time, in the open-air garden, Felix looked at Eric and asked in a low voice: "Monica, will you... come out?"

Eric said with certainty: "Of course." As soon as he finished his words, he heard a rumbling sound from the bottom of his feet. He raised his eyebrows, and saw the six black balls suddenly rolling, and then planted The flower stand of the unknown vine began to move, and a circular opening was soon revealed.

Monica stood in the elevator and appeared in front of Eric and Felix through the round opening.

Felix's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect that Monica, who was staring at the door with his own eyes, didn't actually leave. Thinking of urging Eric to get the helmet after she left, he couldn't help feeling guilty, and silently lowered his eyelids. Dare to look at Monica again.

But Monica's attention was not on Felix. She looked at Eric, hooked her mouth, raised the helmet in her hand and threw it on the ground casually, and said, "What you call talking is actually You want me to give this back to you, right?"

Eric watched his helmet being thrown to the ground by Monica, frowned slightly, and said, "That's right."

Monica laughed. She stepped out of the lift and said with a regretful tone, "It would be great if you came here in an open and honest manner. You must be a thief."

"Thief?" Eric also smiled. He stood still and looked at Monica who was walking towards him, and said, "Which one of us is the real thief, Monica?"

Monica stopped a few steps away from Eric. She looked up at Eric and said, "Take your helmet and go do your big work! Mr. Magneto."

Eric's eyes moved, and his eyes darkened a bit following Monica's words, and said in a deep voice: "Since I have hidden my things for so long, why are you taking them out so readily now? Monica, I I know you, but you are not such a person!"

"Isn't it?" Monica smiled and said, "What do you think I should do? Take your helmet and put forward any conditions to meet the label you know me? No, Eric, you The me I knew before didn’t exist since that day.”

Eric was silent, and stared at Monica in front of her judgementally. Her eyes were so strange, as if she had changed into a different person. No, the Monica in front of her hadn't changed. Maybe it was him, the corner of his mouth With a tick, a smile appeared, and he walked towards the helmet.

Monica watched Eric pass her by without saying a word, she turned around, watched him walk up to his helmet, watched him pick it up calmly, and said mockingly: "It really matters to you."

Eric brushed the dust off his helmet casually and said, "That's right."

"However, you needlessly told Rebecca that the helmet is with me." Monica smiled, "You see, the matter is actually very simple, you come, and I will return the helmet to you. For the sake of affection. However, I hope that after you leave with your things, please don't touch my Rebecca again."

Eric raised his eyes and said, "This is not something I can control, Monica."

"Can't you?" Monica's tone became cold, "If it wasn't for what you want to do today, she wouldn't stop you."

"So, do you want to stop me?" Eric laughed suddenly, "Do you want me to stop planning?"

Monica and Eric looked at each other for a long time, and said mockingly, "Of course, I hope, but," you won't listen.The smile on her face gradually faded, "Hope is just hope."

Eric pulled the corner of his mouth, put the helmet on his head, looked at Monica and said, "Don't worry, she can't stop me today."

A trace of subtle emotion crossed Monica's face when she heard the words, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all. Seeing Eric wearing the helmet and turning away, she suddenly smiled, standing there seemed very uncomfortable Hesitant Felix said, "Do you want to follow him?"

Felix shook his head and whispered, "I'm sorry!"

Monica nodded and said, "I forgive you."

Felix was taken aback, and asked in disbelief, "I thought...you would drive me away."

"Why did you drive you away? On the contrary, I have to thank you for telling Eric where the helmet is." She looked at Felix who was showing surprise, "To be honest, I have thought about this helmet for a long time, should I dispose of it? , since its owner has come, it’s better to return it to its original owner, isn’t it?”

Felix was silent, he observed Monica's expression carefully and carefully.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth." Monica smiled, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Also, you can leave at any time, anyway, Rebecca has cured you, isn't it ?"

Felix opened his eyes wide and watched Monica walk into the room calmly. He lowered his head and saw that his hands were trembling because of Monica's words. She knew everything ?So, why did she question Eric just now, saying that he told Rebecca about the helmet?He raised his head, and Monica was nowhere to be seen.
