Chapter 609: Preparing to Leave
What Turner knew was that what he was doing seemed to have inadvertently pushed the whole thing into a situation that he had no control over, and what he didn't know was that by doing so, he was inadvertently saving the lives of a large part of the citizens of Pato.
Because of this, he succeeded in provoking the wrath of Aletto, causing the Argus army to focus entirely on the gangsters, forgetting that when they first arrived, they were prepared to sacrifice the lives of innocent civilians.
Shortly after Aletto and the others left, Turner, who had determined that there was really nothing to be gained, also returned with the parts that had been dismantled from the mech.
Having found a hidden place to hide the things, Turner finally made it back to Uncle Jack's house before dawn.
Not long after lying down, there was a sound outside, but it was Uncle Jack and Aunt Ruth who had already gotten up, which was a little earlier than usual, but it was normal to think that the gunfire that rang out last night for nearly a whole night made the two of them affected and unable to sleep.
After a while, the footsteps approached this way, but it was Uncle Jack who came over, knocked on the door, and said, "Lance, you don't have to get up and open the door, I'm just here to inform you, those gangsters were too fierce last night, and just now Mr. Foreman just called me to inform me that I don't have to go to work today, so ...... You can continue to rest, and you don't need to rush to get up. ”
After speaking, Uncle Jack stood at the door for a short time before turning his head and slowly leaving.
In the room, Turner's brow furrowed, from Uncle Jack's obviously not right tone, and the footsteps when he finally left, he clearly heard something different, and after thinking about it, he didn't move immediately, but lay back.
Not long after, Turner got up normally according to the usual wake-up time and went outside, and Aunt Ruth happened to prepare breakfast, and kindly called Turner over for dinner, which looked no different from usual, and Uncle Jack, who was already sitting at the table, also smiled when he saw Turner, although he had tried his best to hide it, but Turner still keenly saw a trace of hesitation in that smile.
Because they don't have to go to work, several people are idle, and because it is not safe outside, they can only stay at home honestly, so even Uncle Jack, who doesn't watch those soap operas at all on weekdays, has no choice but to sit in front of the TV and watch the tasteless soap operas for him.
This continued into the afternoon, where it continued to be heard from time to time throughout the day, and even the most recent gunfire near Uncle Jack's house finally stopped completely.
Uncle Jack listened for a long time, and then said hesitantly, "It seems to be finally over?" Why don't I go out and have a look? ”
Aunt Ruth said worriedly: "Although there is no sound, who knows if it is over or not?" In case of a few people who are still running for their lives, I think it's better to forget it. ”
"It's okay, I'll be careful." Uncle Jack said, "And I'm going to go with Lance, if we really meet, the two of us will take care of each other, and nothing will happen, right, Lance?" ”
"Here we are." Turner said inwardly, nodding his head without a trace, and making a gesture to reassure Aunt Ruth, signaling that she didn't have to worry.
"That'...... All right. Aunt Ruth was finally persuaded by the two and nodded.
The two of them quickly left their homes and went out into the street, which was empty at this time due to the deterrence of the previous gunfire and the sound of gunfire.
Uncle Jack obviously didn't really want to see anything, so he chose a random direction and walked down, his face was slightly heavy, and at the same time he looked absent-minded.
After walking for a distance, Uncle Jack wanted to speak many times during this time, but when he arrived here, he finally couldn't help it, stopped, turned his head to look at Turner who was following him, and said, "Lance, you ...... last night Is it out? ”
After thinking about it, Turner didn't refute anything and nodded.
Uncle Jack's face became a little unsightly, and he said seriously: "Lance, I don't know how you got involved with those gangsters, it's just, as a person who has lived here for decades, I still want to advise you, those gangsters are not a good thing, you have also seen the situation in the past two days, they are even more troublesome this time than the one a few years ago, and the government's suppression may be more ruthless than a few years ago, and their final fate will be very miserable, and you, not long after you first came here, It's not deeply involved with them, so get out of it quickly! ”
Turner was stunned when he heard this, and immediately had a feeling of ridicule, he originally thought that Uncle Jack found out that he was not in the room last night, guessed that he was related to the gangster fire this time, and then guessed his true identity, but he didn't expect that Uncle Jack just thought that he was attracted to the gangs and mixed up with those gangs, and now that he thinks about it, he is completely thinking too much.
The Argus Empire did not release his wanted warrant, so how could these civilians know who he was? Since you don't know who he is, it's even more impossible to guess his true identity.
Thinking about this, the worry in Turner's heart and the little bit of murderous intent that made him feel extremely tangled completely disappeared, and he smiled and gestured to explain to Uncle Jack.
"You mean...... Last night, you heard gunshots...... I was worried that it would affect us, so I ...... So, you're trying to say that you stayed out all night and didn't come back until you were sure we were safe here, right? Uncle Jack was also a little entangled, but what he struggled with was Turner's complicated and incomprehensible gestures, and after looking back and forth for a long time, he finally roughly understood what Turner meant.
Turner nodded, indicating that Uncle Jack was right about "translating".
"What you said is true, you are really just guarding the outside, and you have nothing to do with those gangsters?" Uncle Jack continued to ask.
Turner nodded again, while raising his right hand to pat his chest, and then raised three fingers to point to the sky, a common swear gesture in the Argus Empire.
Seeing his gesture, Uncle Jack's expression softened, nodded and said: "I believe you, I blamed you before, hehe, okay, let's take a look forward, if nothing happens, then it's really okay, by the way, I owe you a thank you, you were tired last night." ”
Turner waved his hand again and again to say that it was okay, but in his heart, the idea of leaving here early was even more firm.
It's not because he is resentful of Uncle Jack's suspicion, but because he doesn't want to involve these simple people because of himself......
