When Tom woke up in bed, Lin Rui and Peter outside the room were already paying attention to the situation inside. When they saw Tom holding his head in pain and yelling, Lin Rui almost couldn’t help but rushed in to see what happened to Tom. Fortunately, he finally held back, and Tom slowly recovered and calmed down.
Just when Lin Rui and Peter watched Tom and began to guess as to whether he had remembered his previous memories and released from Hydra’s mind control, Tom who was sitting up suddenly looked at the glass wall and called out Lin Rui’s name.
“Tom! Haha! He finally recovered his memory!” Lin Rui shouted excitedly when he heard Tom call out his name.
Card!
Then Lin Rui had already touched a button on the side of the glass wall. Following Lin Rui’s move, the one-way transparent glass wall has now become a Bhimtwo-way transparent wall. Tom, sitting on the bed of the room, finally saw Lin Rui and Peter standing outside.
“Tom, do you remember? Do you remember everything?!” Not opening the door to the room, Lin Rui asked Tom inside through the glass wall.
Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tom’s eyes flashed and he finally nodded.
Brush!
After Tom answered, Lin Rui could not wait any longer as he opened the locked door and rushed in with Peter.
“Jackson, I remember! I’m sorry for everything!” Tom said in a deep tone as he looked at his two friends who were rushing inside his room.
Lin Rui carefully stared at Tom’s eyes as he stood in front of him. After looking at him for some time, the last trace of alert in Lin Rui’s eyes slowly disappeared.
“Welcome back, Tom.” Lin Rui opened his arms and step forward as he said this.
Call!
Finally, the two friends hugged each other a week after Hydra was destroyed. Peter stood aside and watched this scene with great emotion. Fortunately, Tom had recovered and is normal again, otherwise, Lin Rui would be carrying this burden in his heart.
“Well, you have just recovered and need more rest. I just saw you in a lot of pain which may be a side effect of your recovery. So you need to rest.” Lin Rui continued after hugging Tom. Although Tom now remembers everything but his previously hypnotized spirit still needs to recover slowly.
“No, I want to go home. I remember what happened over the past month. I was like a puppet being manipulated by them to do things that I didn’t want to do at all. Now, I just want to go home to see my parents, they must be very worried because of my disappearance.” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tom shook his head and said.
Although his memory of more than a month made Tom feel very painful, he didn’t want to stay here anymore. He wanted to go home and see his parents.
After talking and leaving, Tom took a rest in this base and changed his clothes before rushing home with Lin Rui and Peter. Because he had just woken up from mental control, Tom had been quiet on the ride, and he just calmly looked at the scenery along the way and no one knew what was going on in his mind.
However, even though Tom did not speak, Lin Rui still has something to say. Because Tom was exposed to too many things this time, it would have been nice if Tom didn’t remember those things, but now Tom clearly remembers everything that had happened to him in the controlled phase.
Therefore, it is necessary for Lin Rui to talk to Tom about the precautions. What’s more, there’s a lot to discuss about Lin Rui himself and League of Defender, and Tom’s future life.
“Well, Tom, do you remember what happened in the more than a month you’ve been controlled?” As he drove, Lin Rui asked Tom, who was sitting in the back seat looking at the scenery.
Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tom who was watching the scenery slowly shifted his gaze back towards Lin Rui, “Yes, I remember it all. I remember every detail, although I would rather I forget all of them.”
“So, you…” Lin Rui was a little embarrassed to speak before hearing Tom’s answer.
“Jackson, I know what you’re going to say. I know who you are, and I finally understand why you suddenly changed so much after entering high school, it turned out that Mirage Knight was you.” Tom seemed to know what Lin Rui was going to say and he spoke first.
“Um…I didn’t deliberately keep this from you.” Lin Rui said embarrassedly when Tom brought it up by himself.
“I understand, if I was you, I wouldn’t tell anyone. Actually, do you know why I was tricked into doing experiments by those people?” After experiencing such things, Tom seems to have become a lot more mature. He asked calmly while looking at Lin Rui through the rearview mirror.
“Why? Now that you mention this, I never knew how Hydra found you.” Now that Tom remembered everything that had happened when he was under control, Lin Rui finally asked something he wanted to ask.
“Because I already knew who you were! For many nights, when I was suffering from insomnia, I stood by my bed and looked outside in a daze. I saw a figure crawling out of your room and leaving quietly. I thought you were just sneaking out to go to some party until after Mirage Knight became famous in New York, I didn’t know that this new Vigilante turned out to be my friend, my friend Jackson Lin who jumped out the window every night.” Tom said calmly as he looked ahead.
“So, did you come in contact with Hydra because you knew I was Mirage Knight?” Lin Rui felt uncomfortable when he heard Tom’s answer. Originally, he had thought that Tom was tricked by Hydra and it was just a simple accident. But now that he heard what Tom said, Lin Rui realized that there really was a reason for it.
“In fact, I acted a bit stupid at that time, I just wanted to become a Vigilante like you, and fight alongside you, so I trusted those people. If I knew they were Hydra, I would definitely not fall into their trap.” Recalling the things he had done, Tom felt he was really stupid. Tom just didn’t want to lose his friend. In fact, he had many ways to choose, but he chose the most stupid way.
“Tom, I’m so sorry!” Lin Rui apologized seriously after hearing Tom’s explanation of how he got in Hydra.
“It not your fault, I was the one who was stupid. Also, don’t worry, I won’t talk about anything that happened when I go back. What happened this month, I will treat it as a nightmare, and I won’t mention it again.” Tom said lightly.
