Chapter 3 Bald people seem to be quite strong

"Are you the person Pepper asked me to pick up?" Colonel Rhodes, who had dark skin and was wearing a military uniform, looked at the man who seemed to be on vacation in Afghanistan with dissatisfaction. [・ヘ・]

"You are Colonel Rhodes, right? Hello, I am Sean Hunter." Looking at Rhodes who looked unhappy, Sean showed his professional smile and extended his right hand to show his friendliness.

Rhodes did not shake hands with Sean, but squinted his eyes and looked at Sean who was acting harmless in front of him and said unceremoniously: "I don't know how you deceived Pepper, and I don't know what you want to do, but I want to remind you that this is Afghanistan."

Sean saw that Rhodes had no intention of shaking hands with him, so he retracted his extended right hand and said coldly: "Please take me to the place where Tony Stark had an accident, and you don't have to worry about what happens next." Sean was originally a little disgusted with Rhodes' natural dark skin, and this guy's arrogant look made Sean completely unwilling to talk nonsense with him.

Seeing that his warning was ignored, Rod wanted to send Sean back directly, but due to Pepper's repeated requests on the phone before, he could only say: "I will take you there. I hope you will be responsible for your own safety. The army does not have so much time to take care of you."

Sean ignored him at all. After getting into the car with him, he said nothing and waited for Rod to drive the military vehicle to Tony's accident site. Then he got out of the car and never looked at Rod again.

Rod sat in the car and watched Sean standing still after getting out of the car. He felt that Sean was a liar and didn't know how he gained Pepper's trust.

Rod thought that he should be merciful and park the car here to wait for Sean. Maybe the guy would not be able to pretend anymore and would ask to go back on his own initiative.

While Rod was thinking this, Sean had already constructed everything about the attack in his mind through the photos of the scene sent by Rod before and the situation here. He walked behind a stone and looked at the traces of explosion fragments on the stone and the dragging marks on the ground.

"Hey, the army has already searched, you can't find anything here, let me take you back, you go back to China and find someone else to cheat?" Rod shouted impatiently in the car, but no one responded.

A few minutes later, Sean had just walked to the side and Rod could not see him anymore.

Soon Rod's patience was exhausted. He pushed open the car door and got out of the car aggressively, ready to take Sean back directly. He didn't plan to waste time here anymore. He still had to pay attention to Tony's search and rescue situation.

But when Rod strode behind the stone and was ready to scold: "Hey! You... huh?"

Rod looked at the empty sand behind the stone, and his dark face was stunned.

"Hey! This is not a place to play games, did you hear me!? Get out of here quickly, you guy!" Rhodes thought Sean was hiding on purpose to waste time, but when he searched around and didn't see Sean, he said in confusion: "WTF?"

Sean, who disappeared from the scene of the attack, was at the highest point of a mountain range at this time. He closed his eyes, feeling the light and heat from the sun, but heard all kinds of sounds in his ears.

Sean's face was calm, his brain was running fast, filtering out all kinds of invalid information, and finally, he found what he wanted.

Just when Sean was about to make a move, he noticed something wrong.

Sean turned his head and looked at the sparks that appeared out of thin air three meters behind him.

The sparks were in a spiral state and continued to expand until the circular area in the middle was revealed.

A bald woman in a yellow robe slowly walked out, with yellow runes flashing under her feet, allowing her to stay in the void. The wind at the top of the mountain was very cold, blowing her robes.

Sean looked at the woman in front of him. He had seen many bald men, but this was the first time he had seen a bald woman. He didn't understand why she wanted to shave her head. Could it be that she really wanted to shave her head because she wanted to be strong and then become bald first?

"Mr. Sean Hunter?" The gentle voice was like a spring breeze, as if it was ringing in Sean's ears, without being disturbed by the strong wind on the top of the mountain.

"You can speak your hometown dialect, I understand it." Sean guessed who she was, so he opened his mouth and spoke fluently in the language of Gu Yi's hometown. If there were other beautiful Chinese people present, it would be difficult to imagine this scene.

"Okay." Gu Yi's mouth corners were slightly bent, without showing any surprise.

She slowly walked in front of Sean in the void, stood on the top of the mountain with Sean, and then looked at Sean and continued: "Have you thought about the consequences of the person you are going to save?"

Sean didn't quite understand what Gu Yi meant, he frowned and looked at Gu Yi.

"I know that with your ability, saving him is just a piece of cake, but because you saved him now, it will cause changes in the future, just like the scenery in front of us, it should have its own appearance, but..." A yellow rune suddenly appeared on Gu Yi's hand, and a strong wind from nowhere swept everything in an instant. The clouds and the valley were no longer the same as before.

The strong wind did not have any effect on Sean. He turned his head and looked at the scenery in front of him, which was very different from before, and then said: "I know what you mean, but even if it changes, what does it matter? It doesn't have much impact on me."

Hearing Sean's irresponsible words, Gu Yi did not get angry, but continued: "Indeed, for an existence like you, even if the future changes, it will not have any effect, but it is not the case for those clouds and everything in this valley."

After hearing what Gu Yi said, Sean was about to retort, but Gu Yi did not give him a chance. She stared at Sean and continued: "You are very special. If you were supposed to exist in this universe, I should have seen our meeting today when you were born. However, the fact is that until today, until the moment you just thought about it, I discovered the changes in the future. So I kept searching up and down along the long river of time, and then I found you." After saying this, Gu Yi turned around and looked at Sean with a smile, just like looking at a naughty child.

"So? You saw my future?" Sean asked with a frown.

Gu Yi did not give a specific answer but said: "It doesn't matter what the future will be like. What matters is..."

Seeing that Gu Yi did not continue, Sean could not help but frown. These magicians like to say half and hide half, and you can't ask them what they don't want to say.

"Aren't you the one who is responsible for protecting all this? Even if I change and cause some problems, you can come forward to solve them when the time comes. Don't tell me you can't do it." Sean found that Gu Yi's attitude towards him was very strange. It didn't seem like he would immediately eliminate the threat after discovering it, so he began to speak casually.

Hearing Sean's words that he wanted her to help cover the bottom line, Gu Yi smiled helplessly: "I'm not as powerful as you think."

"Then why did you come to me this time?"
