The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

Lake wasn't lying, he really had L's phone.

Of course.

Not now, but it is still very easy to find L's current phone number, as a high-ranking federal official.

That night.

Lake got L's current information from the Red Queen, but, looking at the information in his hand, Lake suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether to fight.

L is married.

Of course.

Al Greenover's marriage is not the point. Lake doesn't care about people's bodies. What he values ​​is only Al's talent in the field of crime.

Lake has also learned from Ellen the reason for Al's departure.

In one case, when everyone was about to lose the suspect, Al found the suspect, and then the scene was identified as self-defense, but if that was the case, Al wouldn't be here either. After the case, he chose to leave.

Of course.

That's not the point.

Al has now changed his name, not Al Greenover, but Polly Hinton, and lives in Seattle.

There are two reasons for the name change.

The first, in order to escape the pursuit of a certain existence.

Second, start your own life again.

There is no doubt that L, who changed his name from Al to Polly Hinton, belongs to the second type, restarting his life.

Lake ordered the table.

after awhile.

Lake sighed and gave up the idea of ​​a phone call.

Seattle is quite close to the town of Fox, Lake pondered that the next time he went to Fox to see his little padded jacket, he would pass by Seattle and take a close look at L, before deciding whether to send an invitation to L.

"Ding dong!"

"……coming."

Skye, who was watching TV in the living room downstairs, heard the doorbell ringing. He first glanced at the outsider displayed by the videophone. He was surprised and called out to Lake upstairs.

Lake raised his eyebrows and walked out.

Skye and Karen hugged, walked to the living room, looked at Lake who came down, smiled and said, "Lake, look who's here."

Lake walked down and hugged Karen: "Why didn't you tell me in advance, I'll pick you up at the airport."

For Karen's arrival, Lake was surprised. Karen had been to New York before, but they all called Lake in advance, but this time it was a direct surprise attack.

Fortunately, the family has a daughter who is growing up.

Fortunately, the housekeeper only came to the house yesterday to clean up the house. If Skye was not there, the housekeeper would not have come. It is estimated that Karen would have rambled about the living environment here when she walked in.

After Karen kissed Laker on the forehead, she let go and glanced at Laker: "I'm not old enough to need someone to pick me up at the airport."

Lake shrugged: "Where's Betty."

"Paris."

"I didn't come back."

"No, and I also decided to come to New York on a temporary basis."

Lake heard this sentence, thought for a while, and looked at Karen: "Is it because of tomorrow's cardinal and Mr. President's speech in New York?"

Karen nodded: "Yes, and no."

Lake was bewildered.

the next day.

Although New York City has not entered a state of alert, the closer it is to Long Island, the more clearly there are many plainclothes police here.

In a 5 star hotel near Long Island.

in the elevator.

Lake put away his documents and said curiously to Karen next to him, "I don't seem to have heard you mention that you and this Archbishop of Sobia are friends."

Karen looked at Lake: "You forgot, the baptism of your sister was carried out by the Archbishop of Sobia, but the Archbishop of Sobia was not an archbishop at that time."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

next second.

After reading the memory, Lake said to Karen: "It should be your memory that is wrong. I didn't go to Betty's baptism. That day, I caught a cold and I was in the hospital."

Karen frowned: "Really?"

Lake nodded.

He just said it.

According to his memory, if he has seen people, under normal circumstances, he is determined to never forget. When Betty was baptized, Lake overestimated his physical fitness and led him to be hospitalized for the first time in history.

If I remember correctly...

That should be Betty just over a month old.

and……

After Lake recovered from his illness, he has been more puzzled about his illness. In his memory, the small cold almost killed him.

Fortunately, Lake survived. When he recalled it afterwards, Lake inexplicably thought of the word sacrifice.

Ding!

The elevator opens.

On the floor where the red-clothed Archbishop Sobia was located, after getting out of the elevator, the bodyguards in charge of this floor were replaced by the Knights Templar who were assigned by the Vatican to their bishops.

Holy.

cure.

brave.

Karen came here by Archbishop Sobia's special plane, so these Templars knew Karen, but after checking Lake's credentials, they led the two towards the Archbishop's room.

Lake absorbs these free holiness, healing and bravery.

Different from the plundered darkness, almost 99% of the plundered darkness is used to expand the root system of the Force Seed after being absorbed by the Force Seed.

But these holiness, healing and bravery, after being absorbed by the seeds of the Force, act on the buds that broke out of the seeds of the Force.

It's amazing.

This is what Lake thought in his heart, restraining the Force Seed's desire to let go of the plunder, the Vatican is not the same as hell, there is nothing wrong with hell, if it is brought to the Vatican...

Uh.

Actually nothing happened.

But you can't use the ontology to do this, at least, not right now, not being cowardly is not ignorant, and being reckless is not reckless.

soon.

After entering the red-clothed archbishop's room, Karen and the red-clothed archbishop embraced, and their eyes fell on Lake.

"Director Edwin."

"……bishop."

Lake looked at the right hand handed over by Bishop Sobia, and after shaking it, he went straight to the business: "Bishop, my mother said, do you want to see me?"

That's why Lake came here in the morning.

but……

Lake is still very confused. Why did the bishop of the Vatican want to see him? Could it be that my identity as the spokesperson for love and justice was discovered?

Archbishop Sobia is about seventy years old, but from the appearance, it can be described as a childish face with a crane.

Regarding Lake's question, Archbishop Sobia nodded, but did not explain it immediately, but first invited Lake and Karen to sit on the sofa of the reception.

after awhile.

Archbishop Sobia also came out of his bedroom, and after sitting on the sofa, looked at Lake: "Director Edwin, I understand that you are the director of the New York State Department of Homeland Security, and also the Department of Homeland Security. Deputy Head of Operations, is that so?"

Lake nodded.

These are information on the surface, and anyone with access to the Internet can see it. However, in addition to the New York State GHS director and the deputy director of GHS operations, his title also has the title of director of the Bureau of Paranormal Activity Detection and Operations.

Karen's phone rang at this time. After taking out the phone, she smiled apologetically, and said to Lake, "It's your father's. I'll go out and answer the phone."

Lake smiled.

Karen after going out.

Upon seeing this, Archbishop Sobia said: "I want to report the case."

Lake was slightly taken aback: "What?"

Live to the hell?

When a Vatican cardinal met with a federal executive like him, the first sentence of the meeting was to report the crime?

What an international joke.

Lake came back to his senses and looked at Archbishop Sobia apologetically: "Sorry, Archbishop, I am from the Department of Homeland Security, not the CIA, unless what you are talking about is suspected of endangering federal homeland security."

Archbishop Sobia said directly: "There are people from the Federation overseas who wantonly slaughter civilians and bury the truth for their own interests. Is this considered a threat to the security of the Federation?"

Lake opened his mouth, and then looked at Archbishop Sobia again: "This kind of thing is difficult to define, for example, I have to ask, Archbishop, do you have any evidence?"

Sobia took the information from a bodyguard next to him and handed it to Lake.

Lake opened the information after taking it.

One after another shocking photos were printed in Lake's eyes.

Judging from the contents of the photos, it can be seen that these corpses are all civilians. If there is any difference, it is that the skin color is black.

And then there's the bullet report.

Judging from the bullet report, most of them are standard bullets of the federal military.

but……

This doesn't prove anything.

Turn over again.

A section of an oil pipeline appears in the photo.

Lake raised his eyebrows and looked up at Cardinal Sobia.

quite a while.

Lake frowned and closed the information: "Archbishop, I have to ask, why are you looking for me?"

What the Cardinal Archbishop wanted to say is actually very simple, Lake already knew after seeing those few photos.

The federal military slaughtered civilians in a village for an oil pipeline, perhaps because the village did not want the oil pipeline to pass through them.

Can……

What's going on in Africa, it's none of my business, it's not about the Homeland Security Agency?

Archbishop Sobia explained to Lake's question: "I have seen the necklace around your mother's neck."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

Karen looked down at the cross necklace that Lake gave her and told her to always wear it.

The Cross of Rebirth.

[The Cross of Rebirth: Item, SSR, Mystery, those who hold this item can be resurrected within five minutes after death, and their bodies will return to their best condition. 】

Sobia looked at Lake: "I can feel the holiness on this cross and your concern for Karen."

Lake was unmoved and shook his head: "This is not a reason."

It's the military that does it.

The pipeline is Wall Street's.

Obviously, this was a premeditated case, and Lake was not interested in doing justice for a group of blacks, especially a group of dead blacks.

I am not the Virgin, nor do I have that African time.

Lake said directly: "In this case, there is neither the death of the federal people nor the evidence that endangers national security. Sorry, I really don't understand why the archbishop is looking for me?"
