13. Wanda's thousand-mile tracking--- adding more to the brothers who rewarded [7/14]
On the intercontinental highway from Central City to Star City, a very fast old off-road vehicle is speeding all the way, this well-maintained car is breaking through the darkness and is very fast, as if it is rushing to do something extremely important.
"I said, I always think it's not good for us to run out so recklessly. ”
Central City Police Department Sergeant Joe West grabbed the steering wheel and was still wearing pajamas, he looked at Wanda sitting in the back seat of the car from the rearview mirror of the car with some confusion, his mind was confused, he didn't even know why he was here, but the impulse from his heart forced him to do so.
It was the impulse to protect the most important treasures, and it was this instinct to protect Barry Allen that allowed him to be easily captured by chaos magic.
He tried to calm his emotions down, he thought for a moment, and then whispered, "I think we still have to figure out where things are going before acting, rather than just following a guess." ”
"But if you don't seize the opportunity, once your adopted son Barry Allen is deceived, can you imagine what kind of effect it will have on him?"
Wanda, who was sitting in the back of the car, whispered, "It's all for Barry, isn't it? That poor little girl has lost his parents since he was a child, you should protect him well, shoulder the responsibility of a father, and don't let him be hurt by the bad guys, this is doing a good deed." ”
As Wanda spoke, there was a dim glow in her flame-like crimson eyes, which seemed to have some kind of magic, and her voice was carved into Joe West's heart little by little, and Mr. Sheriff, who was very responsible and valued his family very much, was like an evil spirit, and read the words over and over again:
"It's all for Barry... If Dr. Harrison really is a liar... Oh my God, my Barry, you're right, Wanda, we're going to go and find Dr. Harrison's past, and if he's a liar, I'm going to bring him to justice!"
With that, Sergeant West, who was wearing pajamas, stepped on the gas pedal again, and the already extremely fast old SUV erupted with a thicker humming sound, like a beast tearing through the night.
Seeing that Joe's mind was once again induced by chaos magic, Wanda suddenly rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, after all, she was still young, and the magic power from the X gene in her body was not abundant, although it was powerful, but it took a lot of energy to carry out this kind of thinking inducement, especially for a determined person like Joe West on the other side.
As for why Wanda suddenly remembered to bewitch Barry Allen's adoptive father, Joe West, that's a long story.
Seber had left Central City the previous night, Wanda was left alone, Coulson went to take care of his affairs, Lady Audrey went with her husband, and the little Scarlet Witch was immediately idle, according to her character, she should have spent an afternoon reading the book, but a mysterious feeling from her heart drove her to look up the past about that Dr. Harrison.
As mentioned earlier, when she was in the laboratory, the first time she saw Dr. Harrison, she sensed that there was something strange about this person, and as a magical practitioner, she was very confident in her self-perception, and her experience in the past ten years also taught her that at critical moments, she had to rely on the instinct of a magician.
In fact, when she decided to go with Cyber at that time, Wanda didn't just rely on her own judgment, her instinct told her that there was no danger in staying with Cyber, which prompted her to make up her mind.
It's hard to say what this instinct does, but since it's a matter of magic, those of us who live in the physical world don't need to figure it out very clearly, anyway, this time, Wanda, the little witch, also followed her instincts.
"I found information on the Internet that Dr. Harrison moved to Central City 10 years ago, and he had been doing research in Star City before, Sheriff, do you know him?"
Wanda looked at the dark scenery outside the window and asked, and Sergeant Joe West thought for a moment and whispered:
"I remember that he was hired by Mercury Lab to move to Central City, and Mercury Lab held a grand welcome ceremony for him that day, and it happened that I was on duty... But then he seems to have fallen out with the Mercury lab because of some scientific things, the laboratory, if it weren't for the particle accelerator explosion, it is estimated that Harrison's reputation would be unimaginably high, this guy is a real genius. ”
"Hmm..."
Wanda propped her chin on her fingers, her other hand swiping across the laptop on her lap, and after a few minutes of silence, she suddenly asked again:
"It also says that Harris was in a car accident when he was in Star City, and his wife died in that accident, did he mention this?"
"I don't know. ”
Joe laughed and said, "I'm not God, Wanda, how could I know these things... Speaking of which, when did you and I meet? How can I forget?"
As he spoke, Sergeant West's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, Wanda had to use chaos magic to stabilize his mind again, and casually made up a few lies to prevaricate the sheriff, which made Wanda begin to regret that she had brought the sheriff with her, but the thought of needing to check the information at the Star City Police Station made her have to endure it.
The distance from Central City to Star City is not far, after 3 hours, Sergeant West in pajamas walked into the Star City Police Station at midnight with the pretty little girl Wanda, although she was dressed very strangely, but this could not change the identity of Sheriff West, after a series of procedures, they finally found Dr. Harrison's record in Star City in the data room.
"No flaws!"
West read the dossier in his hand, spread his hands, and said to Wanda as if he were an old friend: "All the records about Dr. Harrison are here, and you can see that he has not even a little stain on his past, except for the car accident 15 years ago, he is simply a standard good citizen." ”
Wanda was also a little confused, she looked at the picture of Dr. Harrison 15 years ago on the file, it was exactly the same as the doctor she saw yesterday... Wait a minute!
"Wait!"
Wanda slammed on the table, took down the picture of the file, and placed it in front of Sergeant West:
"Joe, have you ever seen someone who hasn't changed their appearance at all after 15 years?"
"Uh... Maybe it's because he's better maintained. ”
Sheriff West did feel confused, but he turned his head to look at Wanda, made a joke that was not funny, and then patiently explained, "Listen to me, Wanda, this kind of thing is not proof, even if he is not old at all? He is still him, which shows that there is no problem with Dr. Harrison's past." ”
Speaking of this, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in Sheriff West's eyes, and as if he had woken up from a big dream, he stood up, looked around, and then looked at his hands:
"I... What's wrong with me? Why am I here? Where is this?"
He turned his head to look at Wanda, but what he saw was a pair of eyes that shone crimson, and the little witch Wanda was also a little impatient, and she simply adopted a more brutal way to control West's will:
"Listen to my orders now! until tomorrow morning!"
It can be seen that even in the face of chaotic mind magic, West is still persevering, he struggled to get up, grabbed the lamp and tried to attack Wanda, but when the lamp touched the crimson magic light next to Wanda, it was easily shattered.
It's like the annihilation of the Dark Phoenix, but the chaos magic is a bit more peaceful, and the word "decomposition" is more appropriate.
"Obey me! I command you! Obey me!"
Wanda's feet in a floral dress slowly left the ground, and under the effect of crimson energy, the surrounding files seemed to be swept by an invisible hand, turning the place into a storm of paper in an instant, but it came and went quickly, and in just a few seconds, Joe West, who got up again, became quiet.
"Whew... I really don't like to use this kind of rough way. ”
Wanda sighed: "But it's really useful, take me to the scene of Harrison's car accident!
Joe nodded, silently pushed open the door, and took Wanda into the car, 15 minutes later, they stopped on the side of the road in a remote suburb of Star City, if it weren't for the detailed description of the dossier, absolutely no one would have learned from this garden-like place, there was a tragic car accident here 15 years ago.
Wanda jumped out of the car, and she walked on the side of the road, the instinct to jump in her heart became more and more obvious, as exciting as the puzzle game was about to pop out at the end.
"This is it!"
Wanda used the heel of the boot on her foot to draw an irregular circle on the ground and snapped her fingers at Joe:
"Dig!"
Poor Sergeant West in the middle of the night, dressed in pajamas and carrying a shovel, began to dig holes with a whirl, and he should be thanked for his profession, he is a good policeman with a dutiful duty, and an old widower, although he is in his 40s, his physical strength is still very good, plus Wanda throws two mental magic from time to time to stimulate his energy.
Anyway, after 2 hours, Sergeant West was exhausted and paralyzed, and Wanda carefully found a palm-sized bone from the bottom of the pit more than 3 meters deep, which was no different from the surrounding soil due to the long time it had been buried in the ground, and she would not have been able to find it if it weren't for the magician's unique spell.
"That's it! I can feel... That's Harrison's mystery!"
She looked around, a smile on her face, like a little hamster that had stolen peanuts, and with a wave of her hand, the dust that had been dug up by Mr. West was filled back, and she waved at Sheriff West, who was barely on his feet:
"Now go to the laboratory of the Star City Police Department!"
Sergeant West's pajamas were covered with stains, and there was undisguised exhaustion on his face, but under the order that he couldn't refuse, he still sat in the car in silence, and Wanda also jumped into the car, only to have the next moment, a cold dagger against her neck.
Wanda was startled, and waved the crimson energy in her hand to fight back, but the blade was tighter, and the little witch felt the blood on her neck, and she hurriedly stopped attacking.
"Who are you? Star City has never had a person like you who use abilities..."
A hoarse voice sounded in the carriage behind her: "Stand up and give me what you have in your hand!"
Wanda gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of anger, as the daughter of Magneto, when had she ever been treated like this, but now that the situation is stronger than people, she has no choice but to stretch out her hand, but at this moment, the attacker behind her saw the black devil emblem on Wanda's bracelet.
His eyes narrowed suddenly, a mutant, and with this emblem, Wanda's identity was about to be revealed.
The little witch sensed the change in the mood of the person behind her, but before she could ask back, the dagger was put back.
"Are you from the Devil's Gang? Is Seber Hawke okay?"
Wanda turned her head sharply, and saw a guy in a long green hood, face armor, tactical combat uniform, and bow and arrow on his back standing up straight in the dark.
The archer man stretched his body and sat next to Wanda, he threw the bone in his hand and glanced at Wanda, his eyes were full of vigilance:
"When did the Devils enter Star City, and why didn't I hear from him?"
"Who are you!"
Wanda asked viciously like a fried kitten, and under the control of her will, Sheriff West also pulled out his gun, but in the face of the muzzle, the guy was not afraid, instead, he threw the bone in his hand to Wanda:
"You can call me Green Arrow, you want to test it? The police are too slow, I can do you a favor... But I need to see Seber Hawke!"
The man named Green Arrow pursed his lips, "I have something to tell him. ”
