The energy here is dissipating. ”

In the night, in the canyon that had been transformed into a strange swamp due to the energy shock, Merlin held a special energy detector in his hand. In a dripping voice, he greeted the blue-haired beast beside him, Hank. McCoy Says:

"Compared to noon, the energy here has been reduced by a tenth."

"But what remains can still have an unknown impact on the human body."

Compared to Merlin, who only wore a casual suit, the beast around him was much more cautious, this mutant was wearing a white hazmat suit, and he also held an energy monitor in his hand, he looked at the readings on the detector, and responded to Merlin:

"All the properties of these energies are almost unknown, and no one knows how it transforms the nearby terrain, which is a very dangerous energy. In the previous explosion, one-fifth of those compatriots we rescued were completely erased from their awakened abilities, from mutants to normal people. ”

"Is it so miserable?"

Merlin frowned.

"It's not bad to be erased."

Hank turned his head to look at the empty canyon swamp in front of him, and he said with a frown:

Jean, who was also hit by the energy blast, is now in a precarious state, and the professor is trying to treat her. Auroro's ability to cast magic is temporarily blocked and may take a long time to recover. ”

"Wolverine Logan is like being directly exposed to nuclear radiation, the cell division rate in his body has become abnormal, and now he is in a very weak state, Summers's eyes have temporarily lost the ability to fire laser beams, and Piot is trapped in the form of Colossus and cannot turn back into a normal person."

"And the spirit butterfly, her condition is the most serious, her body and consciousness are rejected... Doing anything was half a beat slower, and the crimson energy she was using was a bit out of control, so she could only lock herself in the academy's underground facilities so as not to hurt the others. ”

"Almost everyone who was directly exposed to energy radiation has been affected, but the good news is that these effects appear to be temporary at the moment."

Hank said in a low tone:

"I don't think any explosion of energy can do that."

"What about you?"

Merlin also remembered the strange defeat of the Wall of Will in his body that was used to block the dark magic when he was struck by energy.

. In addition to the self-detonation device, there must be other dangerous things stored in the M underground fortress. The self-detonation of the base was linked to a large explosion of unknown energy, and there is no doubt that that energy has rewritten reality to a certain extent.

Not only did it permanently change the topography of the canyon, but it now appears that it also changed all the life forms that were impacted by the energy to a certain extent.

Merlin was silent for a moment, he looked at Hank beside him, and he said:

"Have you been affected too? I think you're normal now, and your vitality hasn't been disturbed, and you're as strong as a flowing river. ”

"I... It was also affected. ”

Hank's tone became a little sad, and he whispered:

"I'm starting to shed my hair..."

"Hell, don't laugh, it's a serious matter!"

The blue-haired beast turned to a stunned Merlin and shouted:

"It means that my body has a mutation that I can't understand, which is bad."

"Well, it's really bad."

Merlin said solemnly:

"It looks like your sewers are going to be blocked for a long time, and I want me to say, instead of waiting until your mane falls off on its own, you should start shaving it first... Okay, okay, don't clench your fists, I'm just kidding. ”

He put away the energy monitor and said to Hank, who was glaring at him, in a serious tone:

"Now that it has been determined that there is a problem with the energy in this canyon, S.H.I.E.L.D. will temporarily lock this place down until the energy dissipates. You can also continue to study these energies here in an official capacity. ”

"And, I have a question."

Merlin looked at Hank, and with a look of worry on his face that could not be concealed, he said:

"What about ordinary people? What do you think these energies will have on the average person? Almost all of my subordinates are within the range of that energy explosion. ”

"I don't know."

Hank shook his head, and he said:

"This is a situation that has never happened before, and I need some research to come to a conclusion. But during this period of time, it is best to observe your subordinates carefully, and call me immediately if there is a special situation. ”

"Okay."

Merlin wasn't happy with the answer, but he didn't criticize Hank too hard.

No matter how good a researcher is, they can't see through the truth of a dangerous matter at a glance, and they need time to study the secrets behind the phenomenon.

"What time is it?"

Merlin raised his wrist and looked at his watch habitually, but because of the confrontation with Magneto, the watch in his hand had already stopped working under the strong magnetic field, and now the hands and minutes were still stopped at the beginning of the battle.

Hank took a silver pocket watch from his pocket, looked at it, and said to Merlin:

"Nine o'clock in the evening, what? Do you have anything important to do? ”

"Yes."

Merlin smiled at Hank with a wave of his hand to activate the Transfiguration Charm, saying:

"I had a special 'date' with a lady. If you're late, it's not good. ”

"Hank, keep in touch, let me know as soon as the results of your research are available, we are now in a cooperative state."

He spoke to the beast Hank, and vanished in the distortion of the light.

Hank looked at this magical scene, and as a senior scientist, he let out a strange nasal sound from his nostrils, and he shook his head:

"That's magic..."

"Well, a science that hasn't been understood yet."

—————————————————————

"Huh"

Moments later, Merlin was seen outside a bar in Queens, New York.

He looked left and right, then straightened his clothes as if he were actually going to an appointment, and reached out and pushed open the door of the bar in front of him.

Business at this bar is not good, probably in the middle of nowhere, and at night, the bar has only a dozen customers, no resident singers, no music, just a bunch of drunken guys chatting.

"A glass of water on the rocks."

Merlin tossed a few coins at the bar, and he said to the bartender:

"Thank you."

A few seconds later, Merlin walked around the bar with ice cubes of water, and finally came to a booth on the edge.

A young woman in a long dress, who looked a little sad, was sitting there, and opposite her, a drunken man was constantly courteous to her.

"Can you leave time for me and this lady, this gentleman?"

Merlin stood by the seat, his fingers swiping in the air, and the seal of Axe was activated, causing the slightly drunken man to become dazed at once.

He looked up at Merlin, and he said:

"Uh... Of course, come and sit. This little beauty doesn't like to talk, hehe, I like to be so cold. ”

"Let's go somewhere else."

Merlin sat where the man had sat before, and with a casual command, the drunken man who had been guided his spirit staggered out of the corner.

Merlin picked up his glass and took a sip of cold water, which made his throat feel a little more comfortable.

I don't know if it's an illusion, after experiencing a half-demon transformation, Merlin always feels a little burning in his throat, as if he will breathe flames anytime and anywhere.

He put down the cup and looked at the little beauty staring at him in front of him, and said:

"Hello."

"Hello."

The black-haired beauty like an iceberg said with a cold face:

"I'm not in a good mood, I want to be alone."

"Well, is that so?"

Merlin nodded, and he said matter-of-factly:

"Then let me tell you a joke, maybe you'll be in a better mood."

After speaking, under the disgusted gaze of the iceberg beauty, Merlin picked up the glass of water again, and while drinking, he said:

"There's a guy who took my stuff while I wasn't there."

"But the thief didn't know that what she had taken was something magical, something related to magic that she didn't know anything about."

Merlin winked at the iceberg beauty in front of him, and he smiled and said:

"She didn't know that, as the owner, I could clearly sense the location of my stolen treasure."

"And she stupidly took it with her and pretended nothing had happened."

Merlin drank the water from the glass, swallowing the ice with him.

He let out a hearty moan, put the empty cup on the table, and then looked at the black-haired beauty in front of him, and said:

"I'm done with my jokes, are you happy now?"

"Ms. Raven..."

The next moment, the mutant demon girl who was called by Merlin to break her identity and can change in a thousand ways stood up suddenly, and a dagger popped out in her hand, about to flee from the dangerous guy in front of her.

But just before Raven stood up, Merlin's fingers on the table tapped lightly on the table.

It's like a switch has been turned on.

Raven's tense body suddenly stiffened at this moment, like a manipulated marionette.

"Have a drink."

Merlin leaned back on the sofa, her fingers moved slightly, and Raven in front of her stiffly picked up the wine glass and brought it to her mouth, and the wine in the cup kept pouring into her mouth, drowning her throat and making her feel suffocated.

Amber wine spilled down her lips and down her neck, and her expression became a little painful, but she couldn't stop.

A few seconds later, the last drop of wine in the glass was also poured out.

Merlin looked at Raven in front of him, he shrugged his shoulders, his fingers moved again, and Raven placed the cup on the table.

"Is it uncomfortable?"

Merlin asked softly:

"Do you now know what it's like to be forced to do something you don't like?"

Raven couldn't answer that question.

She couldn't even glare at Merlin.

"Let's go."

Merlin stood up, took out his wallet, took out a piece of money, put it on the table, and then hooked his fingers, Raven stood up, and reached out to hold Merlin's arm awkwardly, and the two of them slowly left the bar under the envious gaze of other men, like hedonists who had just met in the bar and were about to go outside to do something exciting.

On the street outside the bar, Merlin reached out and stopped a taxi.

He looked at Raven beside him, he stretched out his finger, and in a very ungentlemanly, very impolite motion, put his hand into Raven's corset, and a moment later, the key to the mysterious house, he took it out with his fingers.

"It's my thing."

Merlin shook the key in his hand and said to Raven, who was like a puppet:

"Now it's back to its rightful owner."

"I'm going to take you to meet your old friend, and... I found you a new home, a prison in the middle of the sea, which is great, right? Enjoy the sea view anytime, anywhere. ”

"But I hope you'll be prepared in advance, there's a lot of crazy people in that prison, and I've heard that those bastards like to yell at night, and often disturb people's dreams, in short, it's a terrible, nasty place."

"Huh"

The taxi arced across the street, and then stopped steadily beside Merlin and Raven, the window rolled down the next moment, and Dupponde's face appeared in front of Merlin.

The always happy little brother waved his hand to Merlin in a friendly way, and said:

"Long time no see, Mr. Merlin, get in the car... Last time a jerk broke my new music player, but that's okay, I got a great stereo in the car. ”

"Ugh"

Merlin stretched out his hand to cover his face, and he said weakly:

"You go, Dupende, I'll wait for the next car."

"Don't do that."

The little brother smiled and said:

"I'll switch to country music this time, okay?"

"Really?"

Merlin looked at Du Pengde suspiciously, Du Pengde nodded vigorously, Merlin opened the car door, and under his gaze, Raven sat in the car obediently and slowly.

Merlin got into the taxi from the other side, Duppon got behind the wheel, and the car started at a very fast pace.

And then... A slightly lively music sounded in the car.

Well, the same recipe, the same taste.

"Hell! It's not country music at all! You're fooling me, Dupende! ”

"Who says it isn't!"

In the face of Merlin's roar, the driver's brother retorted loudly:

"That's the kind of country music in my hometown!"

"Hell! You're not Indian at all! ”

"Who says it isn't! Look at my complexion! Hell, Mr. Merlin, you're getting tougher, you're so grumpy, you need a girlfriend... This young lady next to you is not bad. ”

"Shut up and drive in peace! Go to Xavier's Gifted Junior Academy. ”

PS：

Tomorrow's big seal pushes.,So the addition of the 10th of this month will start tomorrow.,I'm going to put out all the manuscripts I have on hand.,After all, it's a big recommendation.。 Alas, after a month of hard work, it will be emptied all at once, so hard... I'm so tired.

Also, a brother asked me if I was halfway through the plot of this book?

Of course not! Those well-known heroes haven't appeared yet, how can they be more than half?

The current plot progress is about one-third, and it is estimated that it will take more than a few hundred thousand words to more than half, so everyone calm down, read slowly, and don't rush.

Also, I ask for a monthly pass as usual, thank you.
