Chapter 18 - VISITING THE MEMORIAL (1/2)
Bang! Bang bang bang!
“Hey! Jackson!”
……
Bang bang bang!
“Jackson! Jackson!”
……
“What?~” In Tom’s persevering knock on the door, Lin Rui’s weak response came out of the room.
“What are you doing? Didn’t you have an appointment with Peter to visit the National Memorial today? Did you forget?!” Tom, who was outside, shouted loudly, apparently thinking that Lin Rui had forgotten.
“Ah! Visit the National Memorial!” Hearing Tom’s words, Lin Rui in the room seemed to be startled. Then Tom heard a rustle. It was Lin Rui who got up from the bed.
Hoo!
After waiting at the door for another two minutes, the wooden door in front of Tom finally opened, and Lin Rui, standing at the door, looked as dejected as if he had spent the night doing something unpleasant.
“Hey! Dude, what’s wrong with you? Seeing Lin Rui’s apparently tired look, Tom asked curiously. Yesterday was Sat.u.r.day, and they didn’t have much activity. Why did Lin Rui look kidney-deficient?
“Nothing. I had a nightmare and couldn’t sleep all night.” s.h.i.+fting his hand, Lin Rui answered energetically.
No, it was not a nightmare but the abused he suffered in the training s.p.a.ce. And the time limit was only half an hour, but the time his consciousness remained in the s.p.a.ce seems to be extraordinarily long, Lin Rui did not even know when he came out. If he hadn’t practiced Soaring Dragon Art later, he might have looked worse in the morning that he is now.
“Well, we don’t have to go today, we’ll go next week. Anyway, the memorial hall isn’t running away so we don’t have to go today.” Seeing Lin Rui’s miserable state, Tom was worried and suggested an alternative.
“Er! No, I just haven’t had a good rest. I just need to wake up properly and I am good so you don’t have to worry. Hearing Tom’s words, Lin Rui quickly waved his hand and refused his offer. Going to the National Memorial Museum was something they had discussed a long time ago. How could they be delayed by such a trifle little thing?
“I see! I’ll take a bath first. You can wait for me. After that, Lin Rui got into the bathroom as he really needed to wake up.
“Know it! I take a shower first, you can wait for me.” After finis.h.i.+ng this sentence, Lin Rui got into the washroom, and he really needs to be well awake.
The slightly cool water washed over Lin Rui’s thin body and sobered him up.
“System!” Lin Rui, who was very upset, shouted at the system in his mind as he had to talk to him.
“What’s the matter? If you are abused in training s.p.a.ce, don’t come to me. It’s your choice. As soon as the system appeared, Lin Rui was blocked by this sentence.
“You!… Although it is my choice, you should have reminded me that I can’t quit in the middle of the training! I was abused for so long, I would have been killed by Matt if I hadn’t relied on my speed to circle around him! “Thinking about his miserable appearance in the training s.p.a.ce, Lin Rui shuddered.” He’s training, not looking for abuse.
“The introduction of the E Grade training card is very clear. It can only be used three times, half an hour each time. It’s just that you didn’t understand it yourself.” Hearing Lin Rui’s complaint, the system responded faintly.
Lin Rui: “…” Indeed, if you could quit at any time, you would not be able to use it only three times, which is really my own mistake.
“Forget it, this opportunity was a waste. Next time I have to choose the training object well otherwise, it won’t have any effect on me!” No more complaints. Lin Rui is thinking about how to make good use of the remaining two training opportunities.
“Actually, although the training s.p.a.ce can only be completed once the time is up, you can choose to pause or change the training target.” Just when Lin Rui has put his conversation with the system on hold, the system voice came again with a phrase that was clearly not introduced in E Grade’s training card.
Lin Rui: “…”
Cras.h.!.+
In the washroom, the cool water sprayed down seems to be pouring out the anger of Lin Rui.
An hour later, Lin Rui and Tom had already boarded the subway to Manhattan and Peter and Harry would join them on the road.
“Jackson, did you put on makeup?” On the subway, Tom looked at Lin Rui who was already recovering and asked in a low voice seeing as Lin Rui seemed half alive an hour ago.
“Didn’t I say that? I just had a nightmare and forgot to take a bath.” In his heart, he doesn’t know how many times he scolded the system. Lin Rui answered Tom with a smile on his face.
“Oh, yeah. But it’s been a long time since I have been to the National Memorial. There’s a separate World War II Memorial. The key is… Hearing Lin Rui’s explanation, Tom stopped asking more questions and instead talked about their destination today.
“The key is that there is Captain America inside, isn’t it?” Lin Rui took over what Tom was going to say.
The new Vigilante in Queens has already made Tom very excited, let alone Captain America, the Superhero of World War II? Tom is a loyal fan of Captain America. He doesn’t know how many Captain America’s cards he has collected since he was a child.
