The rooms in Jiayings courtyard were also in the standard Eastern style, and most of the furniture was in a pseudo-antique style.

Except for electric lights, there were no electronic products here, including computers.

Skye took out her phone out of habit, only to remember that it was damaged.

She hurriedly opened her backpack and took out the nanomask, only to discover that it couldnt be activated.

Clearly, the so-called sterilization process wasnt necessarily for getting rid of biological viruses, but to damage electronic equipment.

The nanomask also had an electronic chip, which was smaller than most.

The chip was broken, so the mask couldnt be activated.

It seemed that Afterlife had pretty strict confidentiality measures.

Skyes heart didnt ache over the damaged phone and nanomask. However, it meant that she couldnt use the Internet to contact Luke.

The family had been together just now, and she hadnt had time to think about it.

Now that she was alone, she vaguely sensed that Jiayings att.i.tude was a little strange.

Jiaying indeed had a good att.i.tude toward Skye.

But in front of Calvin, she seemed aloof?

They had been separated for more than ten years, so it was normal for them to be distant.

Still, Calvin had remained in backward China back then for her sake, and they had Skye.

The tragedy of the villages destruction couldnt be blamed on Calvin. If he hadnt gone out to practice medicine, he would have died with Jiaying.

Calvin had clearly been excited when he saw Jiaying. Even a blind person could tell how much he loved her.

Jiaying, on the other hand, didnt respond directly, and she didnt look excited. It was as if she was just being polite?

Thinking that, Skye felt a little uncomfortable.

Calvin wasnt a good person; he went crazy after the tragedy.

In order to become stronger, he did a lot of illegal things and killed a lot of people.

However, his feelings toward Skye were sincere; she could sense that from their recent interactions.

It was also Calvin who had brought up looking for Jiaying.

In the end, it seemed that Jiayings feelings for him werent as deep as Skye thought. However, she was indeed Skyes mother.

Thinking that, Skye stood in front of the window for a long time without moving.

Slowly, night fell.

The next day, the sun was bright.

Jiaying walked around Afterlife with the father and daughter.

Nothing happened during that time, but Skye, who had been training for years, still keenly noticed that many people in Afterlife gave her and Calvin strange looks.

She wasnt an expert on microexpressions, so she wasnt sure exactly what was going on.

However, those people definitely werent curious or welcoming.

On the third day, Jiaying came to her alone, saying that she wanted to do a test to confirm her ident.i.ty as an Inhuman.

Skye felt a little uncomfortable.

The one thing people didnt like was comparisons.

Luke had never treated her differently just because of her superpower. Instead, he paid more attention to her Internet skills.

Skye didnt think she needed to pa.s.s some test to prove that she wasnt human, but of a different race.

She had encountered a lot of bad guys over the years, but there were also a lot of good guys.

Luke, Selina, Mindy and the ladies who helped out at the relief shelter were all nice people.

Charlie, the kid whom she had kicked at the very beginning, couldnt be considered bad. At most, he was a little stupid.

She couldnt think of a reason why she had to become some Inhuman.

But when Jiaying smiled and took her for a test, Skye couldnt find a reason to refuse.

This mother wasnt as cute as her father, but she wasnt bad either.

Revealing her superpower wasnt a big deal. The Inhumans here all knew that after they awakened, they would have superpowers.

Since Calvin had mentioned it in his message, it was impossible for Skye to keep it a secret.

However, some of the safety rules subconsciously popped into her head: A person should always keep some cards up their sleeves. So, she would just release 10% of her power later.

She noticed the surprise on Jiayings face during the test, and was glad that she had only used 10%.

Jiaying was extremely happy since her daughters Vibration ability was really strong.

Not only could it crush rocks, it also had a penetrative effect.

In particular, the shock wave was still very lethal after it pa.s.sed through the first hard protective layer.

Skye was her daughter, so naturally, she would stand on her side to help her.

Happy, Jiaying didnt know that her daughter actually held more than one trump card.

It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that Skye could split open mountains.

She only needed to use 10% of her power to break rocks; in fact, she had yet to use the energy storage mode on her gloves.

If Skye really went all out, she could instantly destroy this test building along with the ground here.

Even Calvin didnt know this. After all, Skyes dream was to be an Internet whiz. She was completely the intellectual type, and fighting and killing didnt suit her.

On the fourth day, Skye didnt see Calvin at lunch, which was strange.

She paid a lot of attention to Calvins mental state, so eating and chatting every day was an indispensable monitoring procedure.

Calvin was used to eating with her, and it was unlikely that he would skip out on a meal.

She subconsciously asked Jiaying, Wheres Dad?

Jiayings eyes flashed, and she smiled. He said he still has some things to deal with outside. Hell come see you when hes done.

Skye frowned. She had learned psychology and rhetoric herself.

What was the meaning of that? The father and daughter had been relying on each other for a month. What matter did he have to attend to?

It had to be pointed out that a family reunion had been Calvins biggest wish.

He had only gotten his wish a few days ago. What important matter could he have to leave so suddenly, and only come and visit his daughter again when he was free?

Thinking quickly, she said, Really? I know some friends wholl be able to help him out.

Jiayings smile froze slightly before she shook her head. He said he didnt want you to get involved. You know he did a lot to get you back.

After a brief silence, Skye said slowly, Theres no need. I know what he did for us. Hes not a good person, but hes a good father.

Jiaying had an awkward expression on her face. So, you have to think about him. Maybe its better to let him think that you dont know about it.

Skye was silent.

Sorry, I dont think so. A deep and cold voice rang out in the room.

Both Jiaying and Skye were stunned and couldnt help but turn to look at the door.

The closed door opened at that moment, and a person in black and white stepped into the room. This is our first meeting. Please forgive the intrusion.

The words came out in Mandarin from under the black and white skull mask.

Jiayings expression changed slightly, while Skye came back to her senses after a brief daze. Youre Big Dipper?
