American comics: I am full of martial virtues and I love to be kind to others

Already involved

Frank was silent for a moment, his fingers tapping on the table, as if digesting Kate's intelligence. "So, you mean, are you approaching him?"

"Yes." Kaite nodded, his eyes full of confidence. "This morning's 'hiker' was a good start. I could feel that he was a little alert to me, but he was not completely rejected. He was not that kind of person. A person who completely refuses to contact shows that he still has value in use."

Frank nodded slightly, his eyes shifting from the documents on the desk to Kate's face, "So, what are you going to do next?"

Kate leaned against the back of the chair, his hands crossed against his chest, and the smile on his face became more sly, "Follow up. I will create more 'accident' and gradually gain his trust. He didn't know I was a reporter, I could Pretend to be an ordinary citizen, or someone in need. As long as he can relax his vigilance, I can find the entry point."

Frank's eyes sharpened, he stared at Kate, pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly, "Kate, are you sure you want to do this? Lynn, if it's as dangerous as you said, your game may be painful. ”

"I'm not afraid of pain." Kate's eyes were a little more determined, "Frank, this is the most real inside story we can get. If I can get the core information related to the Holy Blood Alliance, this will be our newspaper. The biggest headline of the year.”

Frank smiled slightly, reached out and picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip. "You're right. If you can get these things, it's really a headline." He put down his coffee cup and looked back on Kate again, "But you have to be careful. The FBI is not an ordinary law enforcement agency, and neither is Lynn? An ordinary agent. His alertness is far higher than you think. Once you find your identity, he will cut off all connections without hesitation."

Kate nodded slightly, "I know. I'll be cautious."

Frank stared at her, with a hint of complexity in his eyes. He finally sighed, "Well, since you have decided, then go ahead. But I warn you, Kate, don't underestimate Lynn. He seems calm, but he has an unshakable danger in him. . If you play too much, he will make you pay the price.”

"I understand." Kate's tone was still calm, but his eyes were filled with firmness.

Frank nodded, "Then go. If there is any progress, feel free to report to me."

Kate stood up, picked up his windbreaker, with a confident smile on his face, "Don't worry, Frank. This time, I will definitely bring back the truth that shocks everyone."

She turned and left the office, her steps were steady, and there was a persistent light in her eyes.

As night falls, the streets of Brooklyn are gradually covered with neon colors. The noise of get off work hours has gone away, and the terrace lights in the cafe are filled with a hint of warmth, which looks particularly warm on a slightly cool night. Kate sat by the window, holding a cup of hot latte in his hand, but his eyes swept towards the door of the cafe from time to time.

She knew Lynn had a habit—he would always stay here for a moment and buy a cup of coffee before going home from get off work. She obtained this through observation, and tonight, she intends to use this detail to narrow the distance between the two.

A few minutes later, Lynn really showed up. His figure looked slender and steady under the light at the door, and his black coat swayed slightly with his pace. He pushed open the door, glanced around, and soon ran into Kate's gaze.

Kate smiled lightly and raised the coffee cup in his hand to signal, "Lynn."

Lynn frowned, obviously surprised to see her again, but instead of saying anything, he walked over and stood by her desk.

"Kate?" His voice calmly with a hint of searching, "How could you be here?"

"Don't get me wrong," Kate took a sip of coffee, with a gentle smile. "I often come to this cafe. I didn't expect to meet you again. Maybe, is this luck?"

Lynn did not respond immediately, but looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then nodded, "Maybe."

Kate put down his coffee cup and stood up, "If you don't mind, I'll treat you to a drink?"

Lin Neng raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes stayed on her face for a moment, then nodded, "It's up to you."

Kate smiled and walked to the counter to order a black coffee. At the checkout, she turned her head quietly and observed Lin Neng's expression with her eyesight. The man always carries a calm and vigilant atmosphere, like a warrior ready to deal with any emergencies. This temperament makes Kate feel both tricky and interesting.

She returned to Lynn with the coffee and handed him the paper cup, "Your black coffee."

"Thank you." Lynn took the coffee, his voice still calm, but there seemed to be a little more exploration in his eyes.

"You're off work, right?" Kate asked, his tone relaxed, as if he was chatting casually.

"Yes." Lynn took a sip of coffee and said nothing.

Kate lowered his head and smiled, tapping his fingers on the table, "Okay, I admit, I kind of want to talk to you. You know, my car really broke this morning, but it's fixed now. I just want to Show my gratitude, thank you by the way.”

Lynn's eyes flashed slightly, but he was still not moved too much, "No need. Just follow the way."

"Are you always so cold?" Kate pretended to complain, teasing a little, "If someone helped you, can't you respond more friendly?"

"I've accepted the coffee," Lynn said calmly.

Kate couldn't help laughing, "Well, then I should be honored."

Lynn glanced at her and picked up the coffee, "If nothing else, I should go home."

Kate opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Go home? Brooklyn's night is so beautiful, don't you plan to enjoy it?"

Lynn stopped and looked up at her, "Everyone relaxes differently."

Kate's mouth raised slightly, and his mind quickly turned the subject of the next one. She knew that this man was not easy to get close to, but she was not the one who gave up easily.

"Since you're going home, would you mind asking me to lend you a little while?" Kate smiled just right. "I just happened to have something to talk to you."

Lynn raised an eyebrow, did not answer, but looked at her for a few seconds, then nodded, "Five minutes."

Kate's smile became deeper, "Five minutes are enough."

The two walked out of the cafe together, and the breeze of the night blew Kate's blonde hair, she looked down at the windbreaker in her hand, and then trotted two steps to keep up with Lynn's pace.

"Your home is not far from here, right?" Kate asked, speaking with a light tone.

"Yes." Lynn's answer was brief.

"That's great. I just think it's a walk and chatting." Kate smiled softly, deliberately making his tone seem harmless.

Along the way, Kate tried to ease the atmosphere with some relaxed topics, such as the decoration of the cafe and the nightlife in Brooklyn, but Lynn's response was still brief and even perfunctory. But she was not discouraged because she knew that this kind of coldness was just his instinctive defense, and all she needed was a breakthrough point.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at Lynn's doorstep. Lynn took out the key, stopped at the door, turned to look at Kate, "Five minutes are here."

"Wait." Kate blinked and showed a slightly naughty smile. "Okay, I know it's a bit abrupt, but do you mind if I go in and sit?"

Lin Neng frowned slightly, a hint of alertness in his eyes, "Why are you so interested?"

Kate responded without hesitation, "You saved me, I want to know more about you, can't you? You always look so cold, as if there are countless stories hidden behind you. To the reporter, you are simply a living life puzzle."

"Reporter?" Lin En's brows frowned even deeper, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

Kate immediately realized that she was saying the wrong thing, but she reacted quickly, raised her hands and made a surrender gesture, "Don't be nervous! I'm a very ordinary reporter, I only write some love stories and local news, not the kind of digging People's privacy guy."

Lynn stared at her, her eyes as if she was examining the truth of her words. A few seconds later, he finally spoke, "Go in. Fifteen minutes."

Kate's smile instantly bloomed, "You are such a gentleman."

Lynn opened the door and Kate followed him in. The interior of the house is simple, with clean and neat decoration style and neatly arranged furniture. It is obviously a place for people who are organized in life.

Kate looked around, his eyes slightly resting on several photos on the wall. One of the pictures shows Lynn standing next to an antique car with a man who looks older than him, while the other is Lynn sitting in front of the piano with a blonde girl. Everyone in the photo has a smile, but it is completely different from Lynn's cold expression now.

"Your sister?" Kate pointed to the girl in the photo.

"Yes." Lynn walked out of the kitchen and handed her a glass of water in her hand.

"You look like someone who cares a lot about your family," Kate took the water and said with a smile. "This is not very similar to your indifference."

Instead of responding, Lynn sat on the sofa, looking at her calmly, “What do you want to talk about?”

Kate took a sip of water, sat opposite him, and looked like he listened carefully, "I'm actually nothing special, I just want to know you. What kind of work do you do?"

"Government civil servant." Lin En said lightly.

Kate raised his eyebrows, "That's so simple?"

"The nature of the work cannot be said much." Lin En leaned on the sofa, his eyes still on his vigilance.

Kate knew the conversation could not go too smoothly, but she wasn't rushing to make it happen, but instead changed to a more relaxed topic, "Do you go to that cafe every day?"

Lynn nodded slightly, "Habit."

"Some habits are interesting," Kate smiled, and then asked in a pretended inadvertent manner. "For example, do you think Brooklyn has become a little strange lately? It's like... something unusual happened?"

Lynn's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly returned to calm, "What are you referring to?"

Kate shrugged casually, "Oh, I just heard some rumors, such as some organizations that are here, some mysterious things like blood sacrifices. I think it's ridiculous, but I'm curious."

"You've been trying to get close to me." Lynn's voice broke the silence, his tone was low, like the resonance of a cello in the night, "What the hell do you want, Kate?"

Kate's smile froze, but she quickly recovered her calmness and looked at him with her head tilted, "That sounds like interrogation, Lynn. Are you doubting me anything?"

"Not doubt." Lynn put down his coffee cup, supported his hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, his eyes locking Kate's eyes like a sharp blade, "It's confirm. I know who you are, and what you want."

Kate's breathing paused for a second, but she quickly returned to her calmness and showed a slightly helpless smile, "Okay, since you said that, I don't plan to hide it anymore. I'm a reporter, I'm indeed investigating it Some things.”

"Holy Blood Alliance." Lin En added coldly, as if he had known everything long ago.

Kate raised his eyebrows, the expression on his face looked a little surprised, but was quickly covered up. "Since you already know, I don't have to go around the corner." She straightened her body, with a hint of frankness in her tone, "Yes, I'm investigating the Holy Blood Alliance. Their recent activities have attracted too many people's attention. And you—your relationship with them is obviously not simple either.”

"So you want to get news by approaching me?" Lynn's voice was not angry, but instead a creepy calmness.

"Don't say that," Kate spread his hands, trying to be more sincere. "You're a very principled person, I can tell. You're fighting these guys, and I just want to reveal the truth. We can actually work together- You have information, I have a platform, and we can bring down the Holy Blood Alliance together."

Lynn did not respond immediately, but stared at her, as if judging the authenticity of her words. His fingertips gently tapped on the table twice, then slowly shook his head, "You don't know these people, nor do you understand me. The Holy Blood Alliance is not something you can interfere with."

"Why can't?" Kate's voice suddenly increased a little, his eyes were filled with stubbornness. "They are a terrorist organization that is destroying the lives of ordinary people. If you really want to stop them, why not let more people know the truth? Public anger can crush any organization.”

"Anger?" Lin En sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Do you think this is just an ordinary criminal incident? The tentacles of the Holy Blood Alliance have reached the depths of society, and the technology, resources and human resources they mastered are the ones, and the technology, resources and human resources they have mastered. Far beyond your imagination. What can you change by writing a headline? It will only get more innocent people involved, including yourself.”

Kate was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but Lynn's eyes made her silent. There was no slight contempt in his eyes, only a cold determination and a ruthless perception of reality.

Just as the air became more and more tense, a low buzz suddenly came into Lynn's ears. His expression suddenly changed, and his eyes swept out the window. On the street outside the house, a black van parked quietly on the side of the road, and the windows reflected the faint street lights.

"Kate, lie down!" Lynn almost yelled out.

The next second, the window burst and the glass fragments scattered. A hot fire light shot into the house from outside, followed by a deafening explosion. The table was overturned by the shock wave, and the debris flew everywhere. Lynn rushed towards Kate, crushing her to the ground while blocking the flying debris with his body.

Kate was so scared by the sudden attack that he couldn't speak for a moment. He could only hear the roaring sound in his ears and his mind was blank. Lynn quickly rolled over, grabbed the gun with one hand and pulled her from the ground with the other.

"Hurry, go to the basement!" Lynn's voice was calm and he was a little oppressed.

Kate gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up, following Lynn toward the basement entrance inside the house. Just as they ran down a few steps, the door was violently knocked open, and several black shadows rushed into the house, and the weapons in their hands reflected a cold light.

Lynn did not hesitate, and he turned around and raised the gun and quickly pulled the trigger. The bullet accurately hit the enemy who was rushing in front. The opponent fell to the ground with a muffled groan and the weapon slid to the side.

"Who are they?" Kate gasped, with a clear fear in his voice.

"Holy Blood Alliance." Lynn replied as he shot, his tone as cold as ice, "It seems that your investigation is more dangerous than you think."

Kate bit his lower lip and suppressed his inner fear. She knew that it was not the time to ask questions, so she could only bow her head and follow Lynn to retreat quickly. They rushed into the basement, and Lynn immediately pressed a secret switch, and the iron door slowly closed, temporarily isolating them from the attack outside.

The basement is not large, but it is arranged like a simple safety house, surrounded by some weapons, ammunition and emergency supplies. Kate looked around, his eyes filled with shock and uneasiness.

"You have prepared this kind of scene long ago?" she asked, with a hint of incredible voice.

"Preparation is a habit." Lynn quickly loaded the magazine and lowered his head to check his weapons, "especially against people like the Holy Blood Alliance."

"Why did they attack you?" Kate's voice trembled, but a kind of persistence began to appear in his eyes, "Is it because of me?"

"Maybe." Lynn looked up at her, his eyes sharp as a knife, "It could also be because I've been staring at their actions. It's okay with you, Kate, but now you're already caught in."

Kate was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"

Lynn handed her a spare pistol, "If you want to live, do what I said. Listen now - they won't leave easily, we have to break through."

Kate took the gun, and despite her trembling hands, she did not retreat. She took a deep breath and looked at Lynn, "I will do what you said."

Lynn nodded, turned to the other side of the basement, opening the secret door to the street. He looked back at Kate, his voice low and calm: "Follow me closely and don't make a sound. If I say run, just run, don't look back."

Kate nodded with gritted teeth.
