The girl with the ponytail bit her straw and knitted her brows together.
"What the hell."
The ponytail girl whispered,
"I swear I've seen this face before somewhere!"
She scratched her hair irritably and turned to look at Kevin who was squatting next to the tripod and playing with the equipment.
"And she actually said thank you Kevin just now. Although there are many people named Kevin in the world, this coincidence is too outrageous."
Kevin did not answer the call and remained cold and violent.
The boy's expression looked calm, with a kind of reassuring concentration.
In fact, Kevin was extremely nervous, and his face became tense.
The ponytail girl curled her lips, pretending he didn't hear, and turned her eyes back to the TV screen, still racking her brains to recall clues about the Asia girl.
During the half minute she stared at the screen in a daze.
Video Camera made a "di" sound.
Signal access.
Kevin faced the dark camera and smiled sheepishly.
He stretched out his hand, scratched the back of his head habitually, and showed an honest and clean smile.
"Hello everyone, I am Kevin, a volunteer of World Animal Protection."
The boy's voice was not loud, showing a little bit of shyness and embarrassment when facing the camera.
The girl with the ponytail was biting the straw. When she heard these opening remarks, she subconsciously thought that Kevin was joking with her.
But the next second, her whole body froze.
Because the same voice came out simultaneously from the TV next to her.
The ponytail girl turned her head suddenly, her eyes widening instantly.
????!
Snap.
The soda can slipped from her fingers, the drink spilled all over the floor and even wet her shoes.
Messy curly hair, blue vest, and the sparkling Australia sea behind her.
The boy on the screen scratching his head and giggling in front of billions of viewers around the world is exactly the same as the colleague standing less than two meters away from her.
The girl with the ponytail opened her mouth wide, her eyes switching wildly between the TV and Kevin, feeling that her brain had completely shut down.
"Miss Kimiko just mentioned me, I think I should come out and say hello."
Kevin looked at the camera and ignored the expressions of the colleagues next to him as if they had seen a ghost.
He turned around and picked up the transparent glass jug from the table next to him, and brought it closer to the camera.
In the kettle, Goldfish was wagging its tail slowly and spitting out a transparent bubble.
"This is my brother, Charlie."
Kevin is introducing a fish to the world seriously,
"It said the sea breeze was a bit strong today, but the sunshine was very good."
Audiences sitting in front of screens around the world understand this.
Got it, Snow White, Cinderella, Nangong Wenya, Natsume Takashi.
"I have lived in the underground laboratory of Vought International since I was a child."
Kevin's voice is very gentle, as if he is telling someone else's story.
"When I was a child, I was different from others. I didn't show any Superpower. I just grew a few disgusting gills on my belly."
Kevin touched his abdomen through his vest and smiled helplessly.
"Everyone looks down on me. Because everyone knows that I am the only useless person who has been injected with Compound V. In that place, being useless means that I deserve to be stepped on."
"Not only my colleagues in the laboratory, but also ordinary children outside, if they see me through the barbed wire fence, they will hit me with rocks and spit on me because I can't resist."
The sea breeze made his curly hair a little messy.
"I was very scared and lonely at the time. I didn't have any friends. I could only huddle in the darkest corner every day."
"Until one day, I picked up a little Goldfish, which is Charlie, in a dry ditch."
Kevin stretched out his finger and gently touched the bubbles spit out by Charlie through the glass.
"I was so lonely, so I kept it in a plastic cup and talked to myself every day. I said I was beaten again today and I wanted to get out of here."
"One day, I discovered that Charlie actually started talking. I found that I could talk to fishes, and I could even command them by negotiating terms with them."
Speaking of this, Kevin suddenly paused.
He raised his head, looked at the dark lens, and once again scratched the back of his head out of habit.
"But later I discovered that I actually have no ability to talk to fish at all."
The boy grinned and laughed sheepishly.
"There is something wrong with my brain. Because no one talked to me for so long, I suppressed hallucinations, haha."
He laughed at himself frankly.
But the audience in front of the screen, looking at the boy scratching his head and giggling in the sun, couldn't help but laugh.
This kind of soft knife hurts the most.
"But I am very grateful to this disease, it finally allowed me to show a little bit of my worth."
Kevin put away his smile and his eyes became extra bright,
"So, Edgar sent me to Vanguard Camp formed by Lynn Director."
"My abilities are really useless compared to other people in Vanguard Camp, but instead of despising me, they treat me like family."
Kevin took a deep breath and spoke with an extremely firm tone.
"So, if someone tells you that they are a heinous and evil person, they are all lies."
He waved to the camera with a bright smile. At this point, he was no longer nervous at all.
"Here are my words. Whether you believe it or not, I still have to help the turtles clean up the barnacles. Charlie is hungry too. Goodbye."
The red light goes out.
Kevin took a long breath, turned around, and met the ponytail girl's eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets.
"You... you..."
The girl pointed at Kevin and stuttered for a long time but couldn't form a complete sentence.
"Sorry, the soda stained your shoes just now."
Kevin scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and went to the corner to get a mop.
"I'll mop it up right now."
Europe, France Paris.
In the private gallery next to the Seine River, soothing cello music is still flowing.
But at this moment, the elegant people who had originally gathered in front of the famous paintings were all gathered in front of the huge projection screen on the side of the exhibition hall.
The champagne glass stopped shaking in the waiter's tray, and everyone's attention was attracted by the boy holding Fish Tank on the screen.
Annie stands behind the crowd.
She was wearing a light yellow evening dress, and her blond hair glowed softly under the crystal lamp.
Looking at the picture of Kevin waving goodbye on the screen, Annie couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of smiles.
"This guy still loves his silly fish so much."
Buddy lay on the carpet and yawned lazily.
It muttered,
"They are the evil sardine, the Lord of the Seven Seas, and the shy curly manservant."
Annie ignored the dog's complaints.
She lifted up her skirt, bypassed the art critics and celebrities who were still talking to each other, and left the scene with a light step.
