[Comprehensive British and American] Superhero Manual

As early as many years ago, the basement under the Charles family villa was expanded to store some things, for example, the Kryptonian spaceship that carried a baby to Earth.

Today, the basement is no longer just an ordinary room for storing things. The wiring underneath is extremely complicated, and there are many traps. Many important things are scattered in each room, and can only be opened and obtained through special instruments.

And tonight, behind the door that Charles and Eric came to, there is a special machine, to be precise, it is only a semi-finished product.

Charles opened the door, and the two entered the door one after the other. The semi-finished machine revealed its true content.

The winding wires are hidden under the metal casing, only a few of them extend out and connect to the back of the operating desk on the other side, and the data flows between them.

There are many square buttons on the icy blue glossy operating table, and the virtual screen is projected the moment it is activated, showing the model of the machine and various dense data on it.

The two began to operate tacitly.

This used to be the location of the Kryptonian spaceship. Since Karl established the lonely fortress in the North Pole, he transported most of the things in the spaceship to the North Pole, and transformed the remaining metals and parts, making this room a A simplified version of the "Krypton base".

The sub-engine of the intelligent AI was also left here for research and use after having sufficient energy replenishment.

Charles spent several months researching what he was going to do.He used a lot of data-the test data that Carl made after each time he traveled through the parallel world-and the help provided by Kryptonian AI to build a space-time shuttle he envisioned.

This machine can capture the space-time fluctuations around Karl when he travels through the world, and then let the user go to that world together.

This is an idea that Charles had long ago. Ever since he knew about Carl's special ability, he has been worried all the time.

Especially during each time travel, during the time when Karl left, every minute and every second of waiting was suffering.

Charles couldn't help but think, what would his child encounter in a strange world?Will he get hurt?Will they be bullied where they can't see, and silently cry?

Countless thoughts haunted Charles, but he still hugged Carl with a smile every time he came back.

During the waiting again and again, Charles's desire to accompany Karl to the parallel world became stronger and stronger.

However, this is not so easy to do.

It took Charles a lot of time to find a clue in countless studies and make an initial concept.

At the beginning, he didn't tell others about these things. Charles didn't tell Eric about it until he had some research results.

His design drawings and conceived models were gradually perfected in the discussions between him and Eric.

Since the two became neighbors, Eric would come over every once in a while to study the machine with Charles.

When Hanke has time, he will also come to see and help with research.

In these researches, that AI has given them a lot of help. After all, there are some things that cannot be accomplished by manpower alone.

Moreover, the technology of Krypton is much more advanced than that of the earth, combined with the help of AI, it can save them a lot of effort.

Charles did not tell Karl about the matter until the definite results were researched, and he also asked several other people in the know not to mention it in front of Karl.

His Carl is only 15 years old now, and he should enjoy his youth like any other person of his age without having to carry more burdens.

What happened in the basement was completely unknown to Karl who was sleeping soundly. He lay on his bed well-behaved, with a sweet smile on his quiet face as if he had a sweet dream.

In the dead of night, Charles and Eric came out of the basement exhausted. The former closed the entrance to the basement and sighed slightly tiredly.

"There is still not much progress, and I don't know how to proceed."

Only in front of Eric, Charles will unreservedly show his worries and anxieties, while facing other people, he is always the calm and reliable Professor X, always calm and calm, and will always be their solid backing.

Eric was silent for a while, leaned over and hugged Charles, his body temperature passed to the other party through the fabric, the heat from his breath brushed against Charles' ears, and a simple sentence overflowed from his lips: "Don't worry, I'll be with you."

These words seemed to inject great power into Charles, he smiled, and his face looked much better.

"I'm glad to hear you say that, Eric." Charles also reached out to hug Eric, quietly feeling the close contact between the two, and he murmured unconsciously: "I really I'm glad you're here with me."

The voice of the last sentence was soft and small, as if melting into the accompanying sigh, but it still reached Eric's ears accurately, making his earlobes slightly warm.

In the end, it was Charles who pushed away the long hug. There was still some fatigue in his blue eyes, but more of it seemed to be a sparkling smile.

After unconsciously staring at it for a long time, Eric finally realized that it was the light reflected from the overhead lights, making the opponent's eyes look like priceless blue gemstones.

"It's late, you should go back." Charles said softly, and he asked, "Do you need me to take you?"

Eric paused for a moment, with a smile on his face, and he asked back, "Aren't you going to keep me? I can provide a unique bed warming service."

Faced with such almost straightforward words, Charles was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "I don't think this is the right time."

Eric just smiled, showing no disappointment.But he didn't leave immediately, but bent down and quickly left a kiss on Charles' face.

"A goodnight kiss," whispered Eric. "Is that all right?"

"Goodbye." His voice was very soft, with slight reluctance.

It wasn't until the figure of the other party disappeared outside the door that Charles came back to his senses. The touch on his face was still very vivid, as if there was a fire mark on his face.

Charles lightly touched the small piece of skin with his hand, looking stunned.

He controlled the wheelchair to wash up and go to bed, buried under the deep quilt, involuntarily recalling Eric's previous suggestion.

"Perhaps the garden wall can be opened..."

This murmured murmur disappeared between Charles' lips and teeth, and dissipated into the air, as if it had never appeared before.

There was a soft rustling sound outside the window, and countless white elves fell from the sky, and it was snowing.
