[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

"I believe that energy is neither created nor destroyed."

Logan did ask a strange question.But Professor Xavier answered him with the most appropriate answer with a smile on his face: "When people die, their energy always goes somewhere. But whether it can stay around us and affect our lives?" The impact... I don't know about it."

"Okay." Professor Xavier can always give the most appropriate answer.But that answer doesn't make Logan feel better sometimes, especially now.He had hoped that the professor would say something earnestly, "Logan, you are such an adult, you have to believe in science!" ’ If anything, the professor said that, doesn’t that mean ‘there are probably ghosts, so there might be evil ghosts too’? !Logan wasn't very scared, he just felt that his world view had been refreshed a bit.This world is a bit strange, at least for him... After he was transformed into what he is now by some people with ulterior motives, he found that this world is not what he thought before.At that time, I was so naive and so ignorant!

"Logan. It's okay."

"No, I'm not frightened by ghosts."

Please don't look at me with an 'I understand' expression!That's not the case at all! !Logan looked at the professor's smiling face and sighed. He definitely put himself in the same category as the group of mutant little devils in the school! !never mind!Maybe it's my nervousness, the sulfur smell is the result of people who don't protect the environment from the road, and the exorcist is a liar.It's reasonable for normal people to think so!

"All that is unknown is science that we don't understand right now. At least most of it."

Your last sentence is superfluous, Professor! !Logan didn't understand whether the professor wanted to comfort himself or scare him. He looked at the professor with complicated eyes and said, "Anyway... I'm going back to sleep first. You should go back quickly, professor."

"Good night, Logan. Don't worry about anything."

Nothing to worry about.I will do my best to protect this place.Protect everyone here.I may not be able to get people to accept mutants, I can't change the situation for all mutants, but at least...at least only here.Professor Xavier looked at Logan's leaving back and sighed slightly.I hope that all this is just their illusion, that it is all an illusion.

"So what the hell are we doing? Murphy will kill me!" Dresden finally realized today what the four words 'inadvertently making friends' mean.The word was entirely designed for the relationship between him and the smirking guy in front of him.No no, it was designed for myself.Because I definitely made friends carelessly! !wrong! !When did I become friends with this guy? !When did this happen!Why don't you know anything about yourself? !

"Oh, is that the female police detective? Speaking of which, the way she stares at me is pretty pretty, haha!" Konstantin said while holding a tool that was absolutely impossible to legalize and tilted the iron grid door lock in front of him. "But you are right, if she knows that you stole her police badge again, she will definitely kill you."

"You stole it!!"

"Yes, but doesn't she know?"

Inadvertently making friends! !Careless in making friends! !Why! !Why on earth did I want to associate with this guy! !He should have been taken to the police station together with the Winchester brothers! !Speaking of which, why didn't he ask the Winchester brothers to help him with this sneaky business? !

"Why don't you bother Brother Winchester?"

"First of all, they're normal Harry. And I need a Master of the Dark Arts like me," Constantine replied, "Second, I can't find them at all. You can find them in Chicago! And Even if I find them, Dean wants to draw his gun when he sees me, he doesn't like me."

"I don't like you either."

"Oh, don't say such unfeeling words, Harry, aren't we good friends? Call me John."

"No. It's disgusting. In addition, I have to explain one thing first, I don't use 'black magic'!" Dresden said so emphatically, "I advise you not to use it, if the Mages Association finds that I and you have abused it If people with black magic are together, I will die."

"You're already dead, have you forgotten? Harry? Dear Murphy will definitely kill you. Hahaha!"

Dresden looked at Constantine who was smiling at him with the back of his head, and wanted to pick up the brick in the corner over there.He tried to calm down for a long time, and then focused on the key point: "So, is the thing you said really that serious?"

"Of course, although I'm not very serious, there's no need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

You also know that you are not serious!Dresden refrained from complaining, he said: "But what does the rise of the so-called dark forces have to do with Stark Industries' research base? Why do we come here to pick their door locks?"

"Haven't you heard about the tragedy that happened in a welfare shelter in New York a few days ago?" Constantine raised his head from the work in hand, then looked back at Dresden, "I have seen the scene There's absolutely no way a human could have made that, Harry."

"...Did you steal Murphy's police badge just to read the case records?"

"Yes. But it's quite troublesome. After all, she is a policeman in Chicago. I was almost discovered. But I only know her and a police detective who doesn't know me." Constantine shrugged for granted, and then Say, "Anyway, that's proof Harry. We need to act. At least this time around."

"But that still doesn't explain why we're here."

"Although we belong to the supernatural category, sometimes we still need to rely on science." Constantine finally opened the door lock at this moment, he took a deep breath, and said, "Magic plus science. We can do anything."

"Okay... so what's in here?"

"You have to know Harry, the scientists in this world are more powerful than any of us imagined." While sneaking into the research base of Stark Industries, he said, "I mean, so powerful that it seems that they It can also be used as magic. To find out what happened in that shelter, magic alone may not be enough. I got some information. Recently, this agency has a joint project with the Department of Homeland Security. Although some of this It's an interesting question, but what they're looking at is what we're aiming for."

"Homeland Security...? Oh my god...we won't be convicted of treason?!"

"Hey, maybe if you get caught..."

Inadvertently making friends!Careless in making friends! ! !Dresden, calm down!It's too late to retreat now! !Although I was thinking this way, Dresden also knew that the tragedy of the sanctuary mentioned by Constantine did not seem to be done by humans, and the rise of dark forces mentioned by Constantine was recently discussed in the Mages Association. is also mentioned.Demons and magic, ghosts and the supernatural... I am born with magical powers, and I am afraid that I will never be able to get rid of these things.

"We have to find out what happened in the shelter, what kind of demon it is... But when someone found out that something happened in the shelter, it was already two days later. I rushed there as soon as possible, but there were very few clues that magic could find. You know that there are many secrets in this world that we don't know." Constantine continued to explain, "Someone—a group of people—invented a machine that allows one person to enter the consciousness of another. "

"You mean out of body?"

"That's what we say. But things like out-of-body things can't be done casually, and they can't be done to a dead person, can they?" Constantine said, looking back at Dresden meaningfully, and then He took out a large glass jar from the bag he was carrying, which contained a whole piece of human brain soaked in an unknown turbid liquid, "But the machines here can do it. As long as the brain is still alive--I think at this point A little bit of magic."

"...Whose brain is this? No. I really don't need to ask."

"The security of the New York crime laboratory should be strengthened." Constantine admitted his 'crime' so simply, and then continued to walk into the research base, "This is the brain of a victim in the shelter. I have been looking for it for a long time. I just found a fully functional one. It's the best way to find out what's going on in the shelter."
