In the heart of the Iceman Barbie, he has always believed that Manhattan in July is the most beautiful time of the year, especially the quiet and peaceful Uptown, Yongrong is prosperous and dignified, and the lower city where Wall Street is located, the streets in the central and northern parts are not as messy as the southern peninsula, and some diagonal streets often jump out to make it difficult for newcomers to grasp the direction, but it presents an almost strict checkerboard street layout, from south to north, from east to west, the roads are arranged very neatly.

Originally conceived as a response to a plan proposed by a three-man committee in 1811, these neat streets were not implemented in their entirety throughout the district, but they inadvertently created another beauty for the neighborhood: the Manhattan sun.

Every year on July 12th, it is possible to have such a landscape, on that day the sunset and the east-west street become a line, the sunset appears on the horizon at the end of the street, forming a huge bright halo between the sky and the earth, so that the whole street is bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, presenting a spectacular scene, until more than ten minutes later.

This magnificent landscape is Babi's favorite, and he has always felt that the hanging sun is full of mystery and symbolizes his future, and as the young generation with the greatest potential in the academy, it is only natural that his future should be so bright.

Regrettably, this magnificent prospect is like an unpredictable sunset that occasionally misses the appointment, and does not necessarily materialize.

After listening to Christine's reporter at the wrong time and proposing to sell the property created by his mentor to other forces, his behavior has touched the sensitive nerves of his companions, for which Babi has paid a lot of price: his girlfriend broke up, his friends separated, and even the new people who had led him often looked at him with disdain. This is completely different from his expectations, and sometimes the Iceman is tempted to ask what kind of magic the mentor who disappeared into the other dimension has performed on his companions and why they have become so unforgiving, but it is an impossible task. Even when the mentor returned, he didn't have the courage to come up to him alone and question him.

Fortunately, a letter I received recently finally made the iceman muster up the courage to fight for himself.

He walked up the stairs slowly to the top floor, where it was now a busy place where people often came and went.

The stairs climbed one step at a time, getting closer and closer to the top, and the original decision gradually wavered, and just as he had completed the last level, Babi suddenly hesitated again. He knew very well that if he took this step, there would be no room for him in the future.

He took a deep breath, thought about it for a while, touched the letter that had been read and looked at close to him, and finally made up his mind.

Knocking on the door, Bobby walked into the lobby on the top floor.

Now the master here is no longer the mentor who makes him so awe-inspired, but his former best friend.

In this building, only John the Burning Man is still as close to him as before.

"Hi. Babi. John was busy, talking to people with a dry mouth, and when he saw a friend coming, he casually greeted him. Wait until you send off the guests who have come to run errands, and then pull your old friend to sit down on the sand.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, back to Boston?" He knew that Bobby had been in a bad mood lately, and thought that this friend had gone to the Boston factory.

"Nope. I'm just going to the west to walk around and see the scenery, and you know we're too busy with work. I wish I had some free time for myself. Babi said indifferently, he subconsciously had reservations.

"That's fine." John was somewhat embarrassed, he didn't say anything when his friends left, and when his classmates asked, he covered up with the iceman, but he didn't expect to get this answer.

This is a mistake that can only be made up for later, maybe it is time to care about Babi, they really haven't had much time to chat alone lately.

He made a phone call and asked the new assistant who took over from Gwen to move the waiting guest back a little longer.

"I didn't feel it when the boss was there, but now I know that there are too many troublesome things, and it seems that I can't finish it, and I really can't understand how the boss solved these things, and it seems that we have a lot of free time at that time. Perhaps our new assistants are a little less efficient than Mary Jane and Miss Gwen, except for my limited abilities, so there is a backlog of so many things, but fortunately they will always be resolved, and now we are a little better. Next time I'll arrange for you and Mary to rest together, maybe you can go out for a walk together. The burning man smiled and winked at his friend, but received no response as expected.

"That's right." Avoiding the topic of Mary, Barbby said calmly. "I'm going to resign to you, Mr. Chairman."

The title was unheard of, and John's eyes widened.

"You're leaving?" He asked, hesitating. "Back to the academy, did I do something wrong?"

John felt a little guilty, maybe the last time he criticized Bobby in public was a bit excessive, after all, Babi had always been the core of his classmates before, and before he showed his strength, the ice talent was the most favored one.

He had to keep the friend and apologize to Babi. If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to run away in a bad mood, not to mention that in his imagination, Babi didn't seem to have many places to go.

This is indeed the case, accustomed to appearing as a member of the class hero, and already an adult, of course, Babi can't accept his parents and brothers who are psychologically estranged from him, and he can't do it if he wants to come out and find a city to stand on his own, but fortunately, the invitation of the old acquaintance provides him with new opportunities.

"No, it's none of your business." Barbie flatly denied John's conjecture. "I'm going to San Francisco, and Scott is there, and he's putting together a new team, and I'm specifically invited to come over and help him, and there's our countrymen there, and the Westerners are rough, and they're very unfriendly to our people, and I promised to work with him." When Babi said this, his heart was slightly sour, and he actually had some words in his heart, but it was a little sad to say it like that.

"Scott?" John pronounced the name, a man he had almost forgotten long ago.

"Yes, Scott." Babi's eyes were a little nostalgic. "He still remembers the good old days at the academy, we were all marginalized people anyway, and I thought it would be nice to go west and be with new people. And my potential has not been realized, maybe he can help me. I'm not like you, John—", and he couldn't hold back his feelings a little as he said this.

"I'm not like you, I'm Eric's confidant, a special successor. I'm just an outdated old bhabbie, not used to following others, Eric didn't like me from the beginning, I'm not a fool, there's no day for me here, I have to be farther away to get some fresh air. ”

Barbie's words are really difficult for John to accept, in fact, everyone knows the problem of the Iceman, he is conservative, expectant but always unwilling to give wholeheartedly, he is uncertain between right and wrong, and he is always the first to waver when there is a storm.

In the past, in the academy, everyone didn't see it, and thought he was generous and personable, but after a series of experiences, his old friends all showed his weaknesses, and everyone was willing to help him and relieve his depression, but this was easy for him to treat as a condescending charity, but the more sensitive he became, as if he had become a hedgehog and difficult to approach.

Eventually, this is the situation we are in.

After a few more words of persuasion, Babi's attitude never changed.

"Really thought about it?" Burning Man finally asked.

Babi didn't speak, nodding indifferently.

Looking at his determined and indifferent demeanor, John has nothing to say, he is not the little hairy man of the past, since he has tried his best, can he still cry and cry behind Babi?

It is up to him to go.

After the two sat quietly for a while, the pair broke up.

Standing by the glass curtain wall, watching the iceman downstairs walk out of the office building, the hanging sun finally appeared on the nearby street, but Babi had already set foot on the road south, and could no longer see that beautiful scenery.

The Burning Man suddenly understood why the Mentor often wandered around the place and stared out for a long time.

The street below is like a rushing river, the setting sun is sprinkled on the surface of the river, and the endless flow of vehicles is the tireless waves, rolling forward without a trace of nostalgia.

On this path, there are destined to be people who will join or someone who will leave.

Feeling the realization, John suddenly saw that the whole building trembled inexplicably.

The tremor was so subtle that the people outside didn't seem to be there, and the assistant could still be heard greeting anxious guests.

The Burning Man raised his vigilance and secretly clenched his fists, and the scorching white flames flashed in the palm of his hand.

Then, he felt the familiar wave slowly descend from the depths of the sky, and the buildings on the ground echoed with it, conveying their coordinates to the void.

Soon, all the mutants in the building were aware of it, and the stronger the power and the deeper their understanding of the talent, the clearer they could feel the energy that was constantly gathering in the distant time and space.

In it, John's feelings were also raised to a higher level, the whole world in front of him seemed to have changed, the scenery in the distance was clearer and more real, the rays of the setting sun seemed to be still, and their crystal bodies could be observed from all angles, and the warm wind also paused for a moment, and he could vaguely feel the air currents in different directions condensed into a stream, blowing the lush branches and leaves of the trees.

Even if the slightest movement exists in the distance, he can easily feel their birth and disappearance.

This feeling lasted for a while, and then the building's accumulated energy ran out, and without the designer himself, it could only passively provide the coordinates and orientation, and it was difficult to attract its owner back.

Fortunately, this was just the beginning, and John was convinced that in the near future, the mentor would return to his kingdom. (To be continued!)
