gray manor

The three of them quickly left the natural ice cellar after they succeeded. Siren's left-handed elder sister and right-hand younger brother hugged her body, and she walked in the forefront. Her posture can only be described as walking like flying and lifting weight like lightly.

It's just that the two children were tossed around, and the treatment was not as good as two rolls of carpets.

The transcendent people around the planetarium disappeared at some point, and there were only a few of them left.

Tim drove the car to the entrance of the planetarium. As soon as he opened the door of the back seat, the siren threw the two unconscious children into it. The roughness of his approach and the disgust on his expression were beyond words.

Joe came from behind, but didn't see his boss who was supposed to be sitting in the co-driver, so he turned to Tim and asked, "Where's Mr. Raven?"

"He went to arrest the suspect with the police officer from the special office. He wanted to find out who was behind this incident, and said that he had to try his luck anyway. He also said that the next matter can be transferred directly to Joe, you arrange it."

Xiao Xin couldn't help complaining: "No wonder he kept disconnecting just now..."

Qiao ignored her, he consciously took the stick handed over by the leader, and said neatly: "Tim, you, Xin and Siren go to the Aurora Research Branch first, and inform Heath to do a full-body examination for Xueming and Qiujiao. As for the welfare agency and their adoptive parents, let them divert to wait there. I will deal with the aftermath here and meet Mr. Raven."

When the order is issued, everyone executes it quickly.

"Understood." Tim nodded, turned and sat back in the car.

"See you later." Siren worked hard, consciously gave up the comfortable front seat to Xin Xi, pushed the two children in and sat down, helped them buckle their seat belts, and waited for departure.

Xiao Xin took off Jonathan's coat and returned it to him. After thanking him and saying goodbye, Joe stopped her as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, I have something for you."

Jonathan took out a small dark pendant that couldn't be seen in the dark from his coat pocket, gave it to her after rubbing it with his thumb twice, his tone became very gentle inexplicably: "Someone asked me to give it to you Your gift, he said, thank you for not hurting his cat. And welcome to New York again, he would love to invite you to see a musical on Broadway.”

Xiao Xin reached out to take the pendant. Before he could turn the corner, he subconsciously thanked him and got into the car.

After 3 minutes of driving, Xin said, "Why is Jonathan being so gentle to me? What medicine did he take wrongly? What is this pendant in my hand? Who gave it? I haven't abused cats before?" After being relieved by the five consecutive doubts, she turned on the indoor light, and finally recognized the specific appearance of the pendant from the sufficient light: a Sphinx hairless cat made of clay, his whole body was as black as the night, his eyes Exuding a clear honey yellow, his demeanor looks like an elegant noble boy, with a clear and noble air.

Xiao Xin suddenly realized, his brain hole was quickly knocked open by the meteorite, and he came out with a meaningful "oh--".It turned out that Jonathan's flustered and inexplicable gentleness was not for her, but for the man behind the pendant.

ha!As early as when she was in Manhattan, she felt that the secret flow of emotions between him and the Sphinx was unusual!It turns out that they have been... long ago! ! !

Xin Xi will not delve into the story of the cat and the mouse secretly hiding Chen Cang for the time being. Jonathan, an adult who has worked in the red light dye vat for so many years, knows what he is doing.

But the mystery of the pendant sent by the Sphinx still needs her to use her brain to solve it.She had only met the legendary thief once, and he had let the siren threaten his life, so could he really give her a gift without thinking about it at all?This kind of cat who repays evil with kindness is really rare.

Xin Xi was thinking about the problem, and kept rubbing the eyes and ears of the doll with his fingers. Since this thing was given to her through Joe, there was no possibility of it being a harmful substance, and she could accept it with peace of mind.But she didn't believe that a cunning character like the Sphinx would use this cute little pendant to show her favor, which was very meaningless.

Maybe... maybe...he was reminding her of something...

"What is this?" Curious baby Tim interrupted her train of thought, but Xin Xi himself guessed casually, so even if he was interrupted, he didn't feel too upset.

"One~only~cat~" Xiao Xin held the lanyard in his hands and held it up to his eyes.

When the red-eyed boy met the honey-yellow cat pupils, he couldn't help being startled, and quickly moved his eyes away.Tim was scratched by a cat's paw when he was a child, and now he thinks of that psychological shadow when he sees things related to cats. Although he is not afraid, he is really powerless to like it.

"It's really well done, I mean, like a real cat."

Although he doesn't appreciate cats, he still has to praise. This little pendant is indeed very delicate, and the brilliance in the pupils is not inferior to that of a real cat.

Xiao Xin acquiesced to his compliment, and happily hung it on his mobile phone.

"Why did he give you this?" The Siren in the back seat finally couldn't help asking.

Xin handed him the entire phone, allowing him to observe the black cat pendant in 360° without any blind angle, and said relaxedly: "For the black cat prophet, thank you for your kindness in not killing, and send us your greetings."

Sirens:"……?"

"Oh, you're so stupid, I'll tell you later. You call Heath first!"

Sirens are really rotten wood!Can't even hear the subtext!Now that the outsider Tim is here, she is too embarrassed to openly gossip about Jonathan, so she can only hold back her desire to talk and send the siren to do business.

But having said that, she has partnered with Siren for so many years, and she has never seen him touch Fanxin, nor has he responded to anyone's teasing in any way... Looking at it this way, he is simply a stupid stupid head.

Looking at the entire organization of RL, Siren is definitely the only one worthy of the title of "Flower of the High Mountain on the Top of the Mountain".

But it's too cold up there, Siren.

Professor Heath's research institute is a little far from the city, but fortunately, it's late at night, and there are very few cars on the road, so Tim drives smoothly.

When he was about to arrive, Qiujia seemed to wake up, his drooping head stopped shaking, and he gradually tried to lift his thick eyelids and still drowsy head.The siren noticed the abnormality of the little boy, folded his arms and said, "Is the amount of anesthesia too little? This kid is about to wake up."

"Really?" Xiao Xin grasped the key words in his words, knelt on the passenger seat and turned around, patted Qiu Jie's shoulder impatiently and said, "Mr. Aki? Can you hear me?"

After all, it contains the default adult dosage, even if the child wakes up, it will not return to normal so quickly.Qiujie opened her mouth with difficulty, wanting to reply to someone's concern, but found that she couldn't even lift her tongue.

The caring female voice said softly again: "You don't have to force yourself to speak. Mr. Aki, you just need to know that you are safe now!...Tim, you can also say a few words, so that our children can feel at ease. "

Tim?Is Mr. Rabbit here too?So are they on their way home?

"Qiu mustard, I'm here."

Tim was still feeling guilty because of his negligence in his previous work. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say, so he had to simply explain his existence.

"Sister... Where's sister?"

Qiu Jie's voice was vague, and the two people in the front row could hear him whispering to himself, but they couldn't stop the siren's ears.A certain person said that he didn't like the child at all, but his actions were very considerate. He stretched out his long hand and put the hand of Xue Ming, who was still in a coma, into the palm of Qiujie, and said coldly: "It's safe to sleep on your left. "

Qiu Jie tried hard to hold her sister's hand, but she really didn't have the strength to speak again, so she just nodded her head heavily.

Heath was still working overtime at the institute when he received the call from Xin Xi. Although he was confused when he saw the name of the caller, he pressed the answer button without hesitation.As a result, when the other party spoke, it was discovered that it was the voice of a siren.

"Professor Heath, there are two A-level transcendental riots, both of which are underage children. My sister is 13 years old and my brother is 11 years old. We have brought it under control, and we are heading to your place now, and we will arrive in about an hour and a half. We need you Do some safety checks for them, please be prepared."

"Got it," Heath said succinctly, and seemed to think of something, and asked with some concern, "Why are you using Xin's mobile phone to make a call? Is she okay?"

The siren didn't answer his silly questions, but just said "she's fine." and hung up the phone.

Heath, who was disconnected, sighed helplessly. The siren's temper was as bad as ever, and he couldn't tolerate even a little kind care.Although he admits that most of his care is superfluous, isn't humanistic care a very important part of medicine?

The guy with a stern face and a cold face every day not only doesn't understand anything, but also doesn't buy his account.

Complaints are nothing but complaints, Heath still diligently prepared the laboratory and all the instruments that will be used, and patiently waited for their arrival.

The big car labeled Blue Bird quickly drove into the yard. Siren and Xin Xi opened the door at the same time. The former carried two children down, and the latter ran to the corner beside the gate and pushed over two wheelchairs.Heath counted the time and was about to go out to pick up someone. He just heard some faint movement downstairs, so he ran down in a hurry and found that they had already dealt with the transfer. Just push it to the lab.

Concise and efficient, the Blu-ray A2S team carried out their purpose of action as always.

As soon as Xin Xi saw him, he immediately said, "Go in first, and I'll tell you the details as we go."

Heath took the handle of the wheelchair she pushed, and while leading the way, he listened to her explain the ins and outs of the story of the two children running away.

In fact, Xin Xi didn't explain it very clearly. The incident itself was full of countless doubts and had not been revealed. She could only guess and complete other plots after telling the facts she saw.They don't know whether the children ran away by themselves or were abducted, and they don't know how they managed to avoid all the monitoring equipment and walk in the city in the past two days, and they don't know the reason for their ability to riot...

As for whether the bodies of the two children will be irreparably affected by the sudden loss of control?And whether there was any external intervention that caused their riots?All of this will have to wait for Heath's test results to come out.

Both siblings had no obvious trauma, so Heath hired an assistant to take them for a whole-body CT and blood test, while he went to the isolation laboratory to debug the new nano-equipment sent by GregTech.Before Tim parked the car, only Xin Xi and Siren were left looking at each other in the corridor, and they saw the still-tight string in each other's eyes almost at the same time.

There is always a faint smell of disinfectant in the institute, and this smell that always implies disability and death unconsciously plucks the string that is about to break in the heads of the two of them.

They all have uneven thoughts, although the direction of their thinking is not the same.

It was Xin Xi who spoke first, of course, it was always Xiao Xin who spoke first.The biggest characteristic of her character is frankness and straightforwardness. She says what she has to say, and she never hides it in front of the siren.

"You were in the eye of the wind just now, did you almost lose control? I think your expression was very wrong at that time."

The siren looked down at Xiao Xin, the two of them were very close, he could see her eyes as big and round as a deer with a sticky black syrup-like sadness.The tall siren blocked half of the light in front of Xiao Xin, causing her eyes to appear dark brown in the dark, but light brown in the light.If you look more carefully, you will find that they have more layer changes, the deeper you go, the deeper you feel, and the clearer you go to the surface, it seems that a calm sea area bursts out at a depth of 8000 meters. With volcanic lava, creatures on the sea will not know about those magnificent and strong torrents, only deep-sea fish will know.

Siren has to admit that he is a deep-sea fish in every way.

He nodded.

Seeing that he admitted his fault, Xiao Xin frowned so much that she wanted to fight together, she tried to slow down her tone and said, "You seem to be unstable in mood and ability recently, what's bothering you?"

Annoyed?It wasn't really bothering me at all, it was just clichés from past regrets.

Unlike Xiaoxin, who can quickly find opportunities to solve problems and look forward when encountering difficulties, Siren is extremely easy to immerse himself in past mistakes and cannot extricate himself. It is almost impossible for him to accept omissions, mistakes, and events that have not been perfectly digested.He is a person who lives in the past, and it would take too much energy for him to get to the present moment, and he usually has no way to do it.

This kind of mentality is actually not uncommon, just like someone who does everything possible to choose to fight back after being bullied, while someone chooses to forget this bad experience and do other things happily.Siren is always the style of the former, so for him, living in the past also represents another meaning-he is very vengeful.

He didn't know how to explain to Xiao Xin the reason why he almost fell into the "Masterless Chaos" again. He couldn't just say that it was because the two boys had hurt her before, so they held grudges, and then they lost control if they didn't pay attention?It's too embarrassing to talk about it with children.

Besides, it's true that he has had a hard time controlling himself recently, and when the power of the siren covers his whole body, he always feels irritable because of some insignificant things, and he can't find any reason for it.

"Why don't you talk?" Xin Xi got impatient, tilted his head and stretched out his hand to poke Siren's heart, "I asked you if you have something on your mind? Please face my question directly!"

A certain person is a person who is serious and reveals his prototype in less than five seconds, and the character set of an older child who is rampant will never fail.

"No, I just saw the child upset." The siren and her eyes overlapped and denied decisively. Although he acted sincerely, he actually concealed something more or less.

He was very guilty, but in a daze, he saw that the waves in Xin Xi's eyes had subsided a lot.The siren understood at that moment that Xin Xi had always given him unquestionable trust, which made his mood even more complicated.

"Then if you encounter any unhappy things, you must tell me and we will solve it together. Don't hold back, I know you, you are too stubborn and vengeful, this is not good." Xiao Xin's tone was soft, and she poked Siren's heart sentence by sentence. She paused, took a deep breath and said, "Siren, if you lose control one day, I will be very worried about you."

It's rare for Xin Xi to be so gentle to her partner. Usually, she puts on the appearance of a yelling uncle and instigates him to serve the people like a cow.But today is clearly different.I don't know what kind of insights the older children got in that blizzard today. There is always some anxious emotion in her words. It is the kind of people who are eager to explain the situation for others when they clearly don't understand the situation. anxious.

Xin Xi is small in stature, courageous and warm-hearted. He is a brightly colored sunflower.

And Siren is still a dark deep-sea fish after getting along with Sunflower for so long, but now he has learned to look forward to the sun anyway, which is not too bad.

Before Deep Sea Fish could reply her, he heard the sound of a car coming into the yard downstairs. Tim sent a text message almost without delay, saying that it seemed that the adoptive parents of the siblings and the welfare agency had come, and he would to deal with.

After a brief respite, Xiao Xin got blood again. She brushed off the broken hair on her forehead, patted the siren's elbow and signaled him to go downstairs, and she went to Heath.

There are always many things in life that cannot be clearly explained, nor can they be consistently promised, and this is fine.Both of them are not people who care more about words than actions. Xiao Xin knows in her heart that even if she doesn't say those words, the siren will try her best to restrain herself and reach the best state he can reach. up.

No matter what happens in the future, she will be by his side to tide over the difficulties together, so it doesn't matter how bad it is, Xin Xi can always find a suitable solution.

Siren watched Xiao Xin off, looking at her neat back, he remembered that he had something to say just now, but Xiao Xin took the opportunity and could only let it go.

Forget it...not a big deal.No matter what, he will watch the sun.

The Heath Laboratory is affiliated to the Aurora Research Institute, and it is an experimental site that focuses on the study of the relationship between the human body and superpowers, while also taking into account the medical activities of high-level transcendental people.The equipment here is almost all the most cutting-edge technology in the world, which is enough to show the importance the organization attaches to Heath Lab.

The soul of this laboratory, Heath himself, is not only an awakened S-class [healing] transcendent person, but also a small number of supernatural talents who have obtained a high reputation and project funds under the age of 35 and can lead an entire team. The team is a medical professor who does cutting-edge scientific research.

When he was young, he had long-term cross-border exchanges with Dr. Zoe, the mother of the Xin family, on the subject of "whether superpowers can be used outside the body". The two hit it off academically and formed a comrade-in-arms General camaraderie.

After learning that her daughter Xin has joined RL, Heath took care of her in every possible way.Chance is a very delicate concept. Later, Xin Xi became the team leader of his younger sister Hill and repaid his care.

Heath believed that this was the unresolved fate between his family and the Xin family, so he took more care of the Xin family, and often treated her as his own family.

The equipment parameters in the room were all adjusted to children's mode. After the assistants finished the basic blood drawing and physical examination for the siblings, they put Xueming, who was still in a coma, on the operation bed made of nanotechnology, and exited. In the experimental area, I went to do my own work.

Only Heath and Akika, who was not fully awake, were left in the observation room.

"Okay... let's see what happened to you." Heath murmured and pressed the start button.

The electronic bed made of nanometers gave an instant response, and the transparent and pure white light slowly scanned Xue Ming's body from top to bottom, and the machine started running at high speed and stably.The data on the screen in front of Heath kept scrolling. He was staring intently at the changes in the values, but he heard the door behind him being opened.

Xin Xi walked in and asked, "How's it going?"

"At the beginning, give me another two minutes." Heath glanced at her, pointed to the empty chair beside him and said, "You can sit there and wait."

"Row."

Xin Xi sat down unceremoniously, and heard Heath said in a leisurely but deliberate tone: "Why didn't your partner follow?"

"I was afraid Tim couldn't explain clearly, so I asked him to go down and help him deal with welfare agencies and parents."

Xin Xi leaned back on the back of the chair, stretched his hands and feet up and down to stretch his muscles and bones, and his posture was as casual as if this was her other home, and there was no intention of looking outside.

"I just checked the children's bodies, and there is nothing wrong. It's just that the amount of anesthesia is a bit large."

"The situation was urgent at the time, please understand." Xiao Xin waved his hand and replied perfunctorily.

After pressing a few buttons left and right, Heath exhaled, and said casually, "Today is another difficult day?"

Xiao Xin closed his dry eyes, and said softly, "It doesn't count. It's just that I've been lazy for a long time, and I'm not used to suddenly tensing my nerves."

The middle-aged professor lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. He pushed his glasses, and then spoke with an inexplicably kind tone: "Maybe, I mean maybe, you need to go home and rest for a while, see you father... and mother."

Had he known that he was going to say this, Xin Xi would not have dismissed Siren.

"Not now," Xiao Xin took a deep breath, and stopped his fragile emotions before his nose was sore and his eyes were hot enough to shed tears, "I will go back when the matter here is resolved. .”

Seeing her like this, Heath didn't insist anymore, just smiled and said: "Remember to say hello for me and bring a bouquet of flowers she likes."

"Well, of course."

Heath and his younger sister are both blond and blue-eyed, tall and slender, and he has been to Dr. Zoe's laboratory many times when he was young. A calm role between an elder brother and an uncle.

But looking at it now, I can only feel that his back is a bit crushed, and his face has also added a lot of wrinkles and dark colors from the years.

A high-spirited young man cannot violate the rules of time and gradually grow into middle age, and there will always be a once immature boy who becomes him.

The world is always changing, there is no one who will not grow old, but someone will always be young.

Xin Xi's nose couldn't help sore again. Since time passed so fast, why hasn't she recovered from the pain of her mother's death? Why can't she control it every time she thinks about it, and let the sadness come flooding in?
