"I want to go to Montana. Do you have any way?"
Looking down at the incapacitated leader, Scarface, He Kui spoke in a detached tone.
"..."
Under the gaze of those emotionless eyes, Scarface could not discern any feelings from this person.
"Not going to say?"
He Kui placed his foot on the man's fingers.
"...The train, the capital."
Scarface, enduring the excruciating pain in his leg, spoke in a panic.
"How do we get to the capital?"
"We have a helicopter!"
"In the yard behind?"
Shihe exchanged a glance with He Kui, and they saw the surrounding scene transmitted from the image of the little bird.
"Yes, yes."
Scarface, unsure how this person knew, hurriedly nodded.
His initial thoughts of doing something more sinister faded away.
Just behind them, a burly man whose leg He Kui had just broken was now struggling to rise from the ground, picking up the handgun in his hand.
"Be careful!"
"Bang!"
Accompanied by the child's startled cry and the sound of gunfire, Aegis had already dodged the bullet, which instead struck Scarface in the waist.
Amidst the high-pitched cries of pain, He Kui remained indifferent, merely glancing at a few people before walking straight out.
Seeing that He Kui seemed not to intend to take their lives, a fierce expression appeared in the eyes of several people, and their gazes toward the child turned harsh.
Facing those terrifying looks, the child mustered his courage and ran outside.
"Why did you follow me?"
He Kui turned to ask.
"You didn't kill them."
"Either you die or I die; they will expose you."
The word "kill" sounded exceptionally cruel coming from the child's mouth.
If this mysterious person did not kill them, he did not know what would happen, but he was certain it would be a certain death.
"I already killed them."
They wanted to eliminate all threats, and he too wanted to eradicate them.
"But!"
Before the child could refute this seemingly childish statement, a deafening explosion echoed from the room they had just left.
The blast sent a cloud of dust swirling toward the two of them.
"Unfortunately, they tampered with the wiring, causing a short circuit that led to a gas leak and explosion."
Hearing He Kui's words, the child behind him gaped, unable to say anything in response to this magician-like feat.
When had he done this, and how? The child had no idea that the explosion was actually orchestrated by Shihe's controlled little bird.
Moreover, it had only detonated after Shihe confirmed that the child had left.
"You can go back."
Looking at the glaring scars on the child's appealing face, He Kui said.
"I have nowhere to go."
The child's expression skillfully shifted to one of grievance.
"Not my problem."
He Kui was not swayed by the child's sob story, and he had already approached the helicopter.
The interior of the helicopter was somewhat rudimentary, especially compared to MS, it looked like a pile of junk, but it was sufficient. Moreover, this helicopter came with a pass; although it was likely a fake, it would surely work to fool any inspections.
"I want to go with you!"
Seeing He Kui about to leave directly, the child grew anxious.
"My destination is not the capital."
"I know!"
"I can help you! I'm very useful!"
The boy clung tightly to He Kui's shirt, pleading.
His instincts told him that if he missed this opportunity, he would only return to a life of being at the mercy of others.
"I can help you gather intelligence, confuse others, and even steal things! I can also pack things!"
"Pack things?"
"Yes, those people's wristbands are all made by me!"
The boy hurriedly pulled out a wristband from his pocket.
Compared to his own rudimentary version, it was a solid B-grade piece of work.
At ten years old, a natural person, B-grade, although He Kui could not see his talent clearly, he felt a stir in his heart and exchanged a glance with Shihe beside him.
"Take him with us."
He Kui thought for a moment and said.
"Perhaps he can help us, and he can keep an eye on things while we're away; he should be clever."
"Okay."
Leaving the child here would likely mean he wouldn't survive, and although Shihe said nothing, she appeared to be fully compliant with He Kui's words. Hearing He Kui say they would take the child along, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Follow me, but I won't guarantee your life or death."
Aegis remained calm, as if having one more person or one less made no difference to him.
"No problem!"
"Get in."
He Kui sat in the pilot's seat of the helicopter and nodded at the boy.
"Alright!"
Without hesitation, the boy climbed into the co-pilot's seat.
"Can you really fly a helicopter?"
"My first time."
"...?"
Before the boy could suggest finding a pilot, the helicopter had already taken off smoothly into the sky.
Watching this scene, the boy began to change his perception of the indifferent Aegis.
He didn't expect this brother to have a sense of humor.
Of course, He Kui was not joking at this moment.
He truly had never flown before, but as an Elite Red Coat, he was almost one with the Gundam; flying a helicopter was merely a matter of skill and ease.
"Brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Yulis, I don't have a surname."
The boy relaxed and spoke repeatedly.
During wartime, there were many war orphans without surnames, but upon hearing the boy's name, He Kui was slightly taken aback.
"A girl?"
With short, messy hair, it was hard to tell the gender.
"Yeah, but it doesn't look like it, right?"
Yulis spoke casually, but the implication was clear.
"My name is Jason."
He Kui casually fabricated a common name.
"Jason brother~"
The girl easily accepted this name.
The journey went smoothly without any issues, thanks to the presence of the Neutron Jammer, and Mexico did not have many sophisticated radars, making their passage surprisingly safe.
Before long, they reached the outskirts of Mexico City.
"Next, we walk."
"But we need identification to take the train."
"Don't worry about that, but first, we need to change your appearance."
At that moment, the little bird controlled by Shihe had already flown to the traffic safety management center.
A driver's license would suffice as identification here.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing
He Kui's words, the girl's expression showed a hint of instinctive fear.
"You can't take the train looking like this."
"Okay!"
Knowing He Kui was right, the girl gritted her teeth and agreed.
