Chapter 48

To say that Brian Mills and these security personnel have any plans for the outdated film queen, Henry doesn't believe it at all. He believes more that this group of people is using Audrey as a cover to carry out their own tasks, just like those "diplomatic" personnel of the United Nations.

And the institutions that are keen on making things in foreign countries in the United States, don't have to think carefully, there are three letters jumping in front of their eyes - CIA.

In short, the whole team that came to Somalia to visit, except for Henry himself and Audrey Hepburn, the silly white sweet who did the big flag, everyone else has bad intentions. The chaos can be called a hundred ghosts walking at night, and demons dancing.

Even this night when Henry stayed in the room writing visit records, under the surveillance of super vision and super hearing, except for Audrey Hepburn in the next room who went to bed early, others were busy.

There are those who are contacting local people, those who take out wireless telegraph machines to transmit messages, and those who take out weapons to maintain and count.

Henry doesn't think he is so lucky that Audrey's previous activities didn't have such things, and it was just a coincidence that he ran into this excitement.

He believes more that, in fact, every visit itinerary of Audrey Hepburn to a certain place is such a broken thing behind the scenes. But things didn't break out, and didn't burn himself, and every time it ended safely.

In fact, from the standpoint of these people, maintaining the persona and image of the film queen is also a good thing for them.

Otherwise, if this protective umbrella leaks wind, their actions are exposed, doesn't it mean that they cannot continue to use Audrey Hepburn as a cover to carry out their tasks behind the scenes.

So Henry didn't intend to disturb those people's actions. As long as his employer is safe and sound, why not let her live in a fairy-tale dream world, doing what she loves and wants to do.

It's just that Henry couldn't hold back his curiosity this time. It can also be said that these people are active under his eyelids, and not looking at it seems to be sorry for himself.

So in his spare time, using X-ray eyes to see through the materials carried by these people is Henry's way of killing time. He even trained the ability to read materials page by page while seeing through with X-ray eyes, and read everything.

The content is nothing more than contacting local warlords, plotting to overthrow the current president Mohamed Siad Barre. And detailing the strength of various warlords, including military strength, mechanization degree, etc.

I don't know if these contents will be handed over to the current president of Somalia, letting this African country fight into a pot of porridge. Or the CIA has plans to make other things with these materials, plotting greater benefits.

Anyway, the vulture-like US imperialism is still that familiar taste, and this world has not become more peaceful because of the existence of superheroes and various extraordinary abilities, and conspiracies still exist in corners that ordinary people cannot see.

Or rather, those people have become worse because of this.

Just like the world Henry is familiar with, all things, even medicine and virtual digital products, can be turned into sharp blades stabbing enemies. The more powerful, the more painful the killing.

The difference is, in the eyes of those holding sharp weapons, who is the enemy?

Henry didn't interfere with these things. In the end, this is a black brother's country, not his; this is a universe with mutants, Captain America, and Tony Stark, and it is not his...

After experiencing the twenty years of being imprisoned, regardless of whether it is described as blank or miserable, Henry always carefully avoids those points that may detonate his emotions.

Because he knows very clearly that once some things cross that boundary, they can't go back at all.

If he darkens himself and uses the Kryptonian's ability to act recklessly, then the ending is that he destroys the world, or destroys himself.

Of course, there may also be a third ending that many readers love to hear, that is, he is strong enough to dominate everything and arrange the multiverse in his palm. At that time, whoever wants to live will live, and whoever wants to die will die.

Stepping on this path of no return is mainly because there is no anchor in this world, a harbor where the soul can stop. Or use a more popular term - home.

Without a place to land, it is easy to make people go to the end of the road, even if the end is heaven and earth, they will not look back.

Even if he wants to give up halfway, the cause and effect caused by stepping out will push him forward, regardless of whether there is an abyss in front of him.

This kind of person is the most terrible for the whole world and human society, because he has no worries.

And what he does will also force him to continue, because once he stops, the cause and effect planted before will inevitably return to him, and it is very likely to usher in the ending of death.

If the classic movies with black and white pictures in the old TV movie channel during the Alaska period were a spiritual redemption for Henry.

Then serving the lady who is sleeping in the next room is no less than the first anchor in the world that fixes himself.

Henry didn't reveal his past after coming to this world to anyone. Even so, some people keenly captured some information and made corresponding reactions.

Audrey and Katherine, the two Ms. Hepburns, treated Henry just like their most common address - child. Katherine has no offspring, but Audrey is a mother who has raised two children.

Although no one emphasized this point, Henry still felt that he was treated like a child.

Especially Audrey Hepburn's eyes looking at Henry, neither looking at a man, nor looking at a life partner, nor simply looking at an assistant hired by herself.

That look is like looking at her two sons who are no longer by her side, looking at this boy who needs care, and perhaps also needs care.

Henry of course didn't think about recognizing his mother, and didn't have any thoughts about a sixty-year-old expired beauty. But he had to admit that it feels different to have someone around to care about him.

It's as if there is a place of his own in this world, and someone remembers him.

Such a mood, of course, does not allow others to tarnish. For the sake of that lady, Henry even felt that the rules he set for himself were not impossible to break.

It is not to the point of killing people for this. As long as what those people do will not harm Audrey Hepburn, he will open one eye and close one eye.

Anyway, no matter how this world messes up, it shouldn't be responsible for him, a Kryptonian who crossed over. The noble sentiment of Superman who shoulders the whole earth, Henry doesn't have half of it.

Looking out the window, the occasional dog barking broke the silence of the night.

As the first African continent he set foot on in two lifetimes, Henry didn't have any special feelings.

Night is still that night, whether it is hot wind or annoying mosquitoes, for Henry with Kryptonian physique, it is not a big problem. Not only is he invulnerable to cold and heat, but mosquitoes don't want to bite through Kryptonian skin.

However, the conspiracy lurking in the dark will not stop their pace because of the existence of Kryptonians.

Henry just watched coldly, unless these conspiracies turned into big waves, patting himself or that lady.
