HOM-CHAPTER 807 GOES OUT

Earth, New York, Lin Rui's neighborhood.

Lin Rui has not been home for many days, and of course, he has not gone to school. This situation will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Lin Rui's relationship with Tony Stark. After all, no one would be surprised if Lin Rui dropped out of school now to be seen by a globally renowned talent like Tony Stark. But someone who knows more is worried about Lin Rui.

Bang Bang~

Standing in front of Lin Rui's house, Tom Smith, who had not been out for almost a week, couldn't resist knocking at the door. Lin Rui hasn't been home for a week, and there has been no news about Mirage Knight for more than a week, and the League of Defenders website has no information. Therefore, Tom is very worried about Lin Rui's situation.

Given Tom's experience, he knows that his best friend is more than just a simple student who is an intern at the Stark Industries. They are all doing things that ordinary people cannot imagine, and they are all at great risk. However, everything they do is about protecting the innocent, which Tom also admires very much.

Card~

After Tom knocked on the door a few times, the door to Lin Rui's house opened from the inside. Then, Lin Rui's father Lin Hai appeared in front of Tom. Lin Hai was obviously stunned seeing Tom in front of him. After all, Tom came back from a long period of disappearance and he seemed to be left with a serious psychological trauma, and he hadn't been out of the house.

"Tom! Come in, what are you doing here?" After being stunned for a while, Lin Hai hurriedly invited Tom to enter.

The Smiths had met with Lin Hai and his family after Tom came back. Because of the changes in Tom's return, the Smith family was also very worried, so they wanted Lin Rui to take care of Tom.

However, Tom has hardly left the house since his return. Although Lin Rui knew about Tom's situation, he had more important things to do and he also didn't want to involve Tom.

In Lin Rui's opinion, he is responsible for Tom's experience and the current result, and he feels very guilty. However, in order for Tom to return to a normal life, Lin Rui does not want to let him be involved in his other identity.

"Uncle Lin, has Jackson called you in these days?" Tom asked calmly as he followed Lin Hai into the living room.

"Oh, you're here to find Jackson. He's busy now, but he calls me and his mother every day to check-in. Do you want to talk to Jackson?" Hearing Tom's words, Lin Hai replied with a smile on his face.

"Is that so? What did he say on the phone? I haven't seen him for a long time and I do want to meet him up for a chat." Hearing Lin Hai's reply, Tom asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Oh, it's almost the same thing. The experiment is very complicated, very tiring, and so on. And the experiments he did with Mr. Stark were still relatively confidential, and he hung up shortly after each conversation." Lin Hai simply answered seeing that Tom seemed to really want to chat with Lin Rui.

If Tom really wants to talk to someone, Lin Hai is happy that he wants to talk to his son. After all, they have been good friends since childhood.

"Really? I see. Thank you, Uncle Lin. Let me know the next time Jackson comes back. I miss him." Hearing this, Tom had already made his own judgment, so he finally said some words and prepared to leave.

"Yes, I know. Tom, it is a good thing that you are willing to chat with someone instead of keeping things bottled up in your heart. If Jackson comes back, I'll make sure he comes to see you." Lin Hai spoke with an earnest expression on his face when he saw Tom leaving.

"Got it, Uncle Lin, then I'll go back first." With a promise, Tom turned around and walked towards the door.

Then, with Lin Hai watching him, Tom slowly walked back to his house next door. Shortly after Tom returned to the room, his mother, Mrs. Smith, quietly ran to Lin Rui's house next door. After chatting with Lin Hai about Tom's situation, Mrs. Smith returned with a relieved expression. As long as Tom is willing to find someone to talk with and go out, the Smiths will feel great.

However, Lin Hai and the Smith family do not know that Tom only goes to Lin Rui's house to find out what happened to his best friend with a hidden identity. However, Lin Hai's answers didn't make him sure what was going on with Lin Rui.

The once-a-day call is very simple and does not mean that Lin Rui is now very safe. After all, phone calls can be made and voices can be imitated. Lin Hai says Lin Rui's calls are short, probably because he doesn't want her parents to hear anything.

"Jackson, what are you going through?" His fingers slowly moved on the mouse wheel, Tom whispered lightly while looking at some information on League of Defender's official website.

…

"Dad, Mom, I'm going out for a walk."

"Do you want us to come with you? We can go to the mall and buy you some new clothes."

"No, I'll just walk around, I'll be back soon."

"Then… come back soon."

"Yeah, don't worry, I won't disappear like last time."

"…"

After dinner, Tom talked to his parents and went out. Judging from the Smiths' reaction, it seems that their son has been suffocated at home for a week, and it is normal to want to go out for a walk now. However, because of what Tom has experienced before, the Smiths are still very worried about him going out alone.

So, as soon as Tom went out, Mr. Smith called Tom's psychiatrist to inquire about what to do in the current situation. And Mrs. Smith called a few neighbors and asked them to pay attention to Tom.

Although Tom didn't know what his parents did after he walked out of the house, he could probably guess something. However, Tom didn't care, he didn't really have a mental problem, he just wanted to know how Lin Rui was doing now.

So, after a friendly greeting with a few neighbors, Tom made his way to Peter's house. If he didn't get any news from Peter then Tom would probably go to the Stark Industry.

However, not long after Tom walked out of his community, he heard some sounds outside a remote alley.

Bang!

PūPū!

It seemed that someone was fighting in the alley next to him, and Tom was very familiar with the sound of a body being hit by a hard object.
