[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

"Blair?" Jim came out of the bathroom with his lower body wrapped in a towel and his upper body naked. When he looked up, he saw his guide laying books all over the floor of the living room.

"Good morning, Jim." Blair greeted without looking back, his hands kept moving, and he flicked through the old notebooks.

"The early awakening of the Sentinels..." Jim easily saw the above content with his unusual eyesight. "Why do you want to see these?" As the only sentinel who was personally observed by Blair, the object of the record was naturally him.

"The chief told me that Isaac Costa, the man we met in the jungle, was probably a sentry too." Blair stood up, eyes glowing brightly. "Can you imagine? Another sentry?"

Jim frowned. "He didn't tell me."

"Oh, we accidentally mentioned it while chatting." Blair naturally knew this.Sentinels are very territorial. If one sentry enters another sentry's territory without consent, the result will not be friendly relations between the two sentries.And Jim... Blair didn't forget that time when he went home, he opened the door and saw Jim with a gun on guard, just because he smelled of another sentry.God knows at that time they just said a few words.It's normal for the leader not to tell Jim about this. Although he is not professional, the rules passed down by his ancestors are enough for them to know what to avoid.

"So? Don't forget Alex's lesson, I don't want that kind of thing to happen again." Jim's face was a little ugly.

"This time is different." Blair said, "When we met Alex, she was fully awakened, but the leader said that Costa only seemed to have awakened hearing. Also, his identity is also a guarantee, at least we can believe , even if he is awakened, he will not be a gangster."

Jim breathed a sigh of relief, "You said it too, it's just hearing. That doesn't prove anything, and there are people who are born with good hearing."

"So I want to visit him." Blair said his purpose.

"The only thing we know of him is a name we don't know if it's true or not." Jim tried to refuse.

"Look here!" Blair jumped over a stack of books and grabbed the iPad on the sofa, "The name is real!" On the screen was Isaac's Facebook homepage, "Although access has been restricted, but..." Although it was lost Blair, who works in a university but still doesn't change his nature as a top student, devotes part of his energy to computer technology, "it's not too difficult to get in.",

Jim looked at the headshot photo that was specially enlarged by Blair, and had to admit that looking at this photo alone, he really didn't look like someone who would commit crimes.

"So, let's go to Washington!" Blair said decisively when he saw Jim's expression loosen.

"what?"

"Our vacation isn't over yet, is it? I refuse to go back to work at the police station early," Blair said. "I've already booked a ticket and leave in an hour."

Words of rejection were brewing on the lips, but in the end it was stillborn. Jim has known Blair for too long, and he has long been used to his unyielding and unyielding style of vowing not to give up until he reaches his goal. If it is not a matter of principle, the person who finally compromises is always him, Jim Ellison.However, Jim poured cold water on Blair, "Don't get too excited, not everyone will accept your sentinel theory."

"I'm going to pack my bags!" Blair didn't take this sentence to heart at all. Could it be as bad as Jim's attitude back then?

--------------------------

Asking for the phone number from Morgan, Isaac dialed it directly, only to find out that Jim and Blair happened to be in Washington D.C. by accident. Isaac wanted to thank them in person, and Blair wanted to talk to Isaac in person, and the two hit it off immediately and immediately made an appointment.Just before hanging up the phone, Blair asked to see Isaac's EEG.

"I'm an expert on this, too," Blair said at the time.Facts have proved that this is indeed the case, Blair's attitude is more serious than the doctor's, and that kind of cautious attitude makes other people can't help but breathe lightly.Then, they watched as Blair exhaled a long breath, as if confirming something.

Jim knew what was going on from the beginning to the end, and watching Blair's performance, he probably knew that this time his judgment was probably right again. Isaac and Reid were curious with a bit of expectation. The cause of someone's headache has not been found so far. Although the symptoms have disappeared now, it still makes people feel uneasy.

"Mr. Costa, I think you might be a sentinel," Blair said.

"Sentinel?" Isaac raised his eyebrows, amused by the statement, "The one from X-Men?"

"X...No, of course not." At this time, the information brought by Blair came in handy, "Richard Burton once put forward a point of view. In tribal culture, each tribe has an existence that he called a sentinel. A sentinel is not just a scout, but his identity is more like a guardian. He will alert incoming enemies, observe climate changes, and monitor hunting actions. The survival of the tribe depends on this. The choice of a sentinel, Thanks to his genetic advantage, he has awakened some kind of sensory abilities beyond ordinary people. These senses usually need to be honed by surviving alone in the wild. Burton’s theory was controversial as soon as it came out, and almost no one knows it now. But I I've found thousands of people with one or two well-developed senses. But there's never been a single person with all five: hearing, sight, smell, taste, touch. Until I met Jim , His existence convinced me that the Sentinels really existed."

"It sounds very powerful, but I'm just a little more sensitive to hearing, not all five senses are well developed." Isaac was noncommittal to Blair's theory.

"I understand that this is just a process. Jim stayed in the Peruvian jungle for a year and a half, and only woke up five years after returning home. Alex was lost for a week when he was camping, and her five senses changed after a few months. .I've only encountered these two Sentinels and can't give much support in terms of data, but trust me, your EEG is very similar to theirs, so I think your auditory enhancement is just the beginning."

"Alex? Another... Sentinel you say?"

"That's right, and you are the third one I met." Blair pursed her lips, "Please believe me, I am not malicious, it's just that the sentry will have great discomfort in the early stage of awakening the five senses, and I happen to be right There is research here, and I want to help you through that time."

"I want to know the basis of your judgment." Isaac thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't believe your words, but, according to what you said, the number of samples you have obtained so far is only 2, and there are too many variables in it. .And I don't feel the distress and discomfort you speak of."

Blair turned out two pieces of yellowed paper, which were also EEGs, "Looking at some bands, they are far more active than normal people, and your—" pointing to Isaac's, "This part of your , I think it's easy to see the similarity."

"But in fact, I'm really just a little more sensitive to hearing." To be honest, Isaac was very interested in Blair's statement that his five senses were awakened, but this didn't match his own situation.

"So, when did this situation start? Did something happen that made you feel that your life was threatened and aroused your strong desire to survive?" Blair was not discouraged, it was a good thing to be able to sit here and listen to himself speak It's started.Back then, when I first talked about it with Jim, I almost got punched, and Alex even thought of himself as an accost.

Isaac nodded silently, he didn't like to think about the events at that time.

At this time, Reid said, "Mr. Sandburg, it is recorded in your notes that it is difficult for the Sentinel to get through by themselves in the early stages of awakening if no one guides them."

"That's right." Blair looked at Reid, "Although the sample size is only 2, I think I can be sure."

"The sense of hearing is sharp, and the sounds that ordinary people can't catch with their ears are loud to their ears; the range of vision is huge, and the clarity is comparable to high-powered telescopes; the sense of smell is uncontrollable, as long as there is a smell, you will not miss it; the sense of taste... The taste of normal people is a kind of torture for the sentry; there is also the sense of touch, the earliest record is that the sentry felt a little numbness when holding the doorknob, and then determined that the doorknob was touched by a person who was exposed to nuclear radiation... Or Yes, another sentinel's skin was so sensitive that he couldn't bear the friction of his clothes, so he ran naked." Reid distilled out what he had just spent in a few words, and then looked at Isaac, "Is your hearing so sharp?"

"Almost." Isaac looked around and found nothing suspicious. "I can't explain how it happened, but it did happen. But it's manageable, and it doesn't bother me in my daily life."

"Have you learned mental shielding?" Blair couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"I call that self-hypnosis." It is indeed no different from normal people on weekdays, except when he wants to do something.

Reid suddenly remembered the last BAU dinner with Issac. Obviously, Issac heard some conversations that they couldn't hear, and then succeeded in bluffing Morgan with this.

"This is very interesting." Reid's interest was aroused. "Maybe I should go to the library to read related books, and I should visit some professors who specialize in primitive tribal structures."

"If you're interested, I have a list of all the books I could find on it," Blair said.

"Thank you, I need it very much." Reid watched as Blair took out a piece of paper and kept writing on it, and finally left his name and contact number.A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered why the name Blair Sandburg seemed familiar. "You're Blair Sandburg? The Sandburg?"

Blair shrugged and smiled freely, "If you're talking about the Sandburg who lost his doctorate and school job because of academic fraud, yes, it's me."

"You made a difficult choice." Reid didn't say much, he was more willing to believe what he saw than the old news more than ten years ago.The Sentinels are real, so something must have happened that made Sandburg sacrifice his degree to keep the Sentinels.This kind of thing is not uncommon. Some people will never forget their original goal, and some people will develop feelings with the object of observation and give up their original plan.

"I think I made the right choice." Blair smiled.People have to look forward, he is no longer the young man who just lost everything and is still in the police station worrying that he will be kicked out by Simon in the next moment.Although he personally blocked his academic development path, he did not give up his research in this area. Jim was by his side. Apart from not being able to express his views, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his current life.

At this moment, Reid's phone rang, and Hotch's name flashed on the screen.Sure enough, Reid offered to leave after hanging up the phone.

After Reid left, Isaac and Blair continued to chat, but for some reason, the vague feeling of being spied on before became more and more obvious. This feeling of being stared at by a large predator was not good.But no matter how Isaac looked, there was still nothing wrong nearby.

"You keep talking about awakening the five senses, but what about the sixth sense?" Finally, Isaac couldn't help asking.

"Sixth sense?" Blair frowned. "You mean ESP? What exactly, alertness? Precognition? Something else?"

"I felt something was staring at me, but my mind told me it wasn't."

"You can suspend reason for a moment and tell me how you feel."

"This... thing is right next to me, it's watching me, it's changing position all the time, it feels like... like some kind of big cat. I don't know why it feels like this, but he seems to put me It's an opponent." Isaac closed his eyes, felt it carefully for a while, and said slowly.

Blair's mouth twitched.

Jim cut the steak with a serious and honest face, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
