Lin?

"Sorry, sir, I can't do that!"

Doctor Helen lowered her head, terrified that her answer would anger Richard.

Richard asked in confusion, "Why can't you?"

Helen reached out and pointed to the computer in the corner, "There is too much data on the experimental resurrection technology, and I, I don't have a large enough storage device."

"Is that so!" Richard walked over, reached out to dismantle the computer case, and directly pried the hard drive out of the computer.

"See, this is fine~"

Doctor Helen was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but thinking of Richard's mysterious power, she decisively chose to shut up.

If the data here is gone, it's gone; anyway, the group headquarters has a backup of the relevant data, and it won't delay my subsequent research.

Richard keenly perceived Doctor Helen's hesitation, and seeing that she didn't open her mouth to stop him, he pretended not to know.

He opened a Portal and lifted his foot, just about to leave, when a name suddenly flashed from his mind.

"Lin!"

Richard raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the Alter Ego lying on the operating table.

Are you reminding me?

He returned and picked up the body of the Alter Ego.

"Goodbye, Doctor Helen."

Leaving behind a sincere expression of gratitude, the Portal closed.

Doctor Helen looked at the scattered golden-red energy sparks, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Oh, my God! That scared me to death!"

"Was that magic just now?" Doctor Helen's face was filled with excitement, "Gosh! Magic still exists in the world!"

"Right!"

Doctor Helen leaned against the wall and slowly stood up. She walked quickly to the side of the operating table, opened the lampshade above the head of the bed, and took out a surveillance camera from inside.

"Fortunately he didn't find this, otherwise..."

Doctor Helen hadn't even finished speaking when a fist-sized Portal opened. A glowing white Energy Whip flew out from the Portal and accurately wrapped around the surveillance camera in her hand.

Then the Energy Whip contracted, and the surveillance camera, along with the storage chip inside it, shattered into smithereens.

Doctor Helen: ...

"Almost forgot there was a camera. This time we really have to say goodbye, Doctor Helen~"

Richard's flippant voice came out from the Portal.

Doctor Helen's pretty face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground in a duck-sitting position once again.

"G-, God!"

A warm current released from between her thighs, wetting the ground.

Cape Town, an abandoned pier by the sea.

Richard placed the body of the Alter Ego at the end of the pier and sat down cross-legged himself.

"Lin? Is this name also someone you couldn't let go of?"

Looking at the body of the Alter Ego, Richard sighed.

He pulled a cell phone out of his embrace; this thing was what he had quietly taken from the waist of the gray-bearded Captain Richard.

Obeying the instinct of his spirituality, Richard dialed a call.

"Who are you?" A vigilant woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Richard: ...

Richard hesitated for a moment and said, "Hello, someone named Richard gave me this phone."

"Richard!" The woman shouted in surprise, and then asked vigilantly, "Richard is already dead! Who on earth are you?!"

"I'm his friend." Richard glanced at the body of the Alter Ego, "His body is with me now."

"Where are you right now?" The woman asked impatiently.

"Three kilometers west of Cape Town Port, there is an abandoned stone pier there."

"I'll head over right now..." After saying that, the woman directly hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, a black SUV sped over like an angry bull.

A pretty woman wearing a brown jacket and short hair jumped down from the car.

"Richard!"

She looked around, saw Richard standing at the end of the pier, and hurried over.

"Richard! Richard!"

Seeing the body of the Alter Ego on the ground, Lin's tears instantly fell.

"You promised me you wouldn't die~"

She tremblingly hugged the body of the Alter Ego in her arms.

"You promised me..."

Richard felt a bit stifled. To be honest, these few sentences the woman shouted gave him an inexplicable feeling that she was calling out to him.

In his subconscious, he even quite enjoyed Lin calling his name.

Damn it, I must eliminate the murderer who killed the Alter Ego as soon as possible!

This obsession is too terrifying; I simply can't control it!

"Miss Lin..." Richard asked, "Why was Richard injured?"

Only then did Lin remember that there was still a person standing nearby. She hurriedly put the body of the Alter Ego down carefully, raised a hand to wipe away her tears, stood up, and looked at Richard.

"R-, Richard?"

The moment she saw the True Ego, Lin felt as if she were seeing the living Alter Ego again.

Richard was slightly stunned, and then he understood.

The Alter Ego's spirituality had just merged, and a bit of the Alter Ego's aura existed on him, which was normal after all.

"I'm sorry, I just mistook you for someone else."

Lin saw the appearance of the person in front of her clearly, and hurriedly bowed in apology.

"It's fine, I'm a friend of Richard's." Richard raised a hand to support her arm, "It's a pity I arrived a step too late and couldn't save him."

"Save him?" Lin was slightly startled, and said in surprise, "But Richard died three days ago?!"

"What?" Richard feigned shock. With an expression of utter disbelief, he said, "But he was still alive half an hour ago! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"That's impossible!" Lin shook her head and said, "At the time, I personally checked his body. He was shot in the chest and lost too much blood."

"What is going on here?" Richard first wore a puzzled look.

"Right!" Richard slapped his thigh, adopting a look of sudden realization, "I found him in a hidden laboratory in Cape Town Port! There must be clues there!"

"Wait!" Lin squatted down to carefully inspect the body of the Alter Ego, and hurriedly called out to stop Richard.

"I understand. It's the Red Mountain Group!"

"Mike had disclosed that the Red Mountain Group was secretly conducting a cruel kind of human experimentation!"

"There are obvious experimental traces on Richard's body! Look at the slender surgical suture on his chest, and the monitor implanted in his left arm..."

"The Red Mountain Group must have used his body for experiments!"

"So Richard's enemy is the Red Mountain Group, am I right?" Richard went straight to the point.

He only cared about the enemies of the Alter Ego...

"Right, the one who killed Richard is a mercenary dispatched by the Red Mountain Group!" Lin said firmly.

"Okay, I'll avenge him." Richard confirmed the enemy, turned around cleanly and decisively, and left.

"Wait!" Lin called out to him again, "Relying on just yourself, you can't fight the Red Mountain Group!"

"That's hard to say~" Richard shrugged and said dashingly, "I promised to help him get revenge, and a promise made is a promise kept."

"You can cooperate with us at Interpol!" Lin's voice came over again.

"Thanks for the invitation, but I'm used to fighting alone!" Richard waved his hand.

"What is your name?!" Lin shouted loudly.

"Richard, you can call me Richard~" Richard temporarily borrowed the gray-bearded man's name.

Richard turned into a corner, a Portal appeared, and it instantly swallowed his figure.
