Lady's Melaleuca Vest [Comprehensive British and American]

Professor X suddenly mentioned this matter, and everyone really couldn't react at once. They were basically stunned for a moment, and then tried to remember according to his prompt.

"It seems... not?" Wonder Woman showed hesitation.

"Gotham, isn't it every day, what happened?" The Flash lowered his voice and said carefully, as if he was afraid that Batman would look at him with concern after hearing it.

Green Lantern held his forehead with one hand, and pressed the Flash's shoulder with the other, pulling him back.

"Are you referring to a big event like Darkseid's invasion?" Tony's level of focus has been very strong, he pondered for a while, then shook his head, "I have no impression... As the Flash said, Gotham has indeed been There were many disasters, but most of them were made by those lunatics in Arkham."

Put the clown in a satellite and launch it into outer space, and give up thinking side by side with a certain Lord Katz, and the shit in Gotham can be reduced by two-thirds.

Others also shook their heads one after another.

Professor X is not the kind of person who casually makes jokes regardless of the occasion, since he asked, it means something must be up.

Tony really can't think of it, but it doesn't matter, he also has an omnipotent artificial intelligence butler.

"Dear little J," Tony snapped his fingers, "check it out."

"Searching, please wait." The smart butler said politely.After a few seconds, he replied, "No abnormality."

Human memory will have problems, will artificial intelligence have problems?Tony raised his eyebrows, "Charles, don't keep it up."

Professor X gave Magneto a wink, and Magneto didn't move, but the special wheelchair suspended in mid-air slid forward silently and came to Tony's side.Under the watchful eyes from all directions, Professor X calmly took out a photo from his suit pocket and handed it out.

Tony took the photo.

The photo is not brand new, there are slight signs of aging around the edges, and it has been about four or five years since it was developed.The shooting scene seems to be a lively banquet. Many figures in dresses can be seen in the blurred background. The light in the picture is soft and the composition is exquisite. It can be directly published in fashion magazines without modification.

The protagonist is someone familiar to everyone present——Bruce Wayne in a black suit holding a glass of wine, with a bright smile, and his blue eyes looking directly at the camera seem to be watery, so affectionate that it makes one's heart beat; sitting next to him is Professor X in the wheelchair was talking with his head up; the man who communicated with Professor X was a man in a gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He supported the back of the wheelchair with one hand, bent slightly, and his profile was as handsome as a statue carved by an artist.

"Is there a problem?" Tony felt his teeth ache when he saw Bruce smiling like that. He turned the photo over and found the signature on the back - photo taken by Louise Lane on September 2016, 9.

"Louise did a good job," Tony boasted.

"This person..." Black Widow narrowed her eyes, and her eyes fell on the man chatting with Professor X. "Carlos Green, the current chairman of the Aros Foundation, has not appeared in public for a long time."

"It's him, is there a problem?" Tony has heard of this person, and the Aros Foundation has also sought sponsorship from Stark Industries, but due to various coincidences, the big bosses of the two companies have never met formally.

"It seems that there was a car accident three years ago, and the man was rescued, but his leg failed," Black Widow recalled. "He hasn't shown up in social situations since then."

Director Fury: "Three years ago?"

Black Widow: "Three years... more? I don't know when, but the first time I heard this rumor in my impression was at the beginning of 18."

Director Fury was thoughtful.

"Can you see anything else?" Professor X asked.

Can't you just say it directly?Not in a hurry now?Tony complained silently, and handed the photo to other people who gathered curiously. Everyone circulated it, and found nothing wrong.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be a joke, I just wanted to see if everyone would ignore it." Professor X closed his eyes and sighed, "It really is like this..."

"How many people are there in the photo?" Magneto, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Wonder Woman replied: "Not counting the background, the three protagonists."

"Really?" Magneto's tone was rather regretful, "Do you want to stop watching?"

No matter how many times you watch it, there are only three people!Who else can fit in such a big place?

Her gaze scanned the screen continuously, and after watching it countless times, the Black Widow suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Hey, here—"

Black Widow pointed to the position near the left frame.In order to highlight the protagonist, the edge of the picture is softly blurred, and this is within the blurred range.But when the line of sight is focused, one can clearly see Bruce Wayne's hanging hand, holding a sudden touch of red, and there is something wrapped in the red.

"Handkerchief?" Tony narrowed his eyes, "No... it's the sleeve."

The light and flowing long sleeves made of silk or yarn are obviously worn by girls.

Maybe it's a female companion, isn't it normal to bring a female companion to a banquet?After randomly guessing a possibility, Tony directly asked one of the parties for help: "You are right next to him, who is he holding?"

Professor X: "His daughter."

Tony & Wonder Woman & The Flash said in unison: "He has a daughter?!"

Others also showed shocked expressions.

"Of course." Professor X who confirmed the guess was not relieved, but showed a more serious expression, "It seems that Miss Wayne is the source of all these strange situations."

"That's impossible." Tony frowned.

Bruce Wayne could be trending on Twitter even if he licked an ice cream on the streets of Gotham. If he had a daughter, regardless of whether he was biological or adopted, the Gotham media would have gone crazy.And it's okay to hide this from the Avengers. Anyway, Batman is not someone who shows off his children everywhere, but the Justice League doesn't know it either, especially since Superman and Wonder Woman are kept in the dark, which is really unreasonable.

Tony pressed, "What's her name?"

Professor X: "I remember he called her Xiaochun... Yuanchun, it's not easy to pronounce."

Tony: "...huh?!"

Professor X's eyes flashed, and at the same time he had a panoramic view of the reactions of the people around him, "Have you heard of this name?"

"I've heard." Doctor Strange clenched the bird for messaging with his hand in his pocket. "Not long ago, the master of Chaldea contacted us and informed us of the current situation in Gotham City. The lady called Yuanchun, I don't think this is a very popular name."

The wailing sound that has been vaguely heard since coming here suddenly became clearer. Professor X felt a violent spin. He shook and grabbed the armrest, "But the feeling this seal gives me..."

It is indeed very similar to her.

Ordinary people look at people and remember their appearance, figure, voice, way of speaking, behavior habits, personality traits, etc.

Superman sees people, in addition to the above, he can also remember the frequency of the heartbeat.

Professor X is the most special in seeing people. His powerful telepathic ability allows him to directly see through the essence and observe a person's soul.

"I accidentally thought of her when I was investigating the mutant kidnapping case." Professor X took a deep breath, trying to relieve the pain of sensing the residual obsession in the seal.

After rescuing a kidnapped mutant from Gotham, the X-Men have been relentless in their pursuit of who's behind it. Professor X collected all the information collected before, compared it with the dictation of the rescued mutants, analyzed them one by one, and finally extracted the suspicious part from the vast sea of ​​clues.

Around all the mutants who were trafficked and kidnapped, the shadow of the Aros Foundation appeared directly or indirectly.

"Carlos Green, has anyone seen this director?" Logan was smoking a cigarette, surrounded by a circle of materials, which almost drowned him. He picked up a folder and put it down, flipping through it bored Flipping, "Weird, no photos."

This kind of celebrity who loves to do charity will often deal with the media, and his image should not be said to be well known, at least it should not be so mysterious.

Jean Gray who was passing by took the cigarette out of Logan's mouth, "It's all paper, you still smoke, it will catch fire later."

Logan was full of question marks, and spread his hands blankly, "Am I mentally retarded?"

Besides, so what if there is a fire? With so many mutants in the house, how can they still burn down the school?

Cyclops let out a loud jeer.

"The Aros Foundation... sounds a bit familiar." Professor X rubbed the space between his brows, "I should have met Mr. Green."

All eyes turned to Professor X.

As a mutant with powerful psychic abilities, Professor X's memory is outstanding. Others may forget it, but he won't. Even if he forgets it temporarily, he can retrieve it and reactivate it if he thinks carefully about the key words. .

Therefore, the word "should" appeared in Professor X's mouth, which seemed very abrupt.

"Alzheimer's?" Quicksilver quietly lip-synthesized Scarlet Witch.

Wanda rolled her eyes, picked up a wad of paper and threw it at her brother's head.

"What should be going on?" Magneto frowned.

Professor X closed his eyes slightly, "In the study room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, the third row of bookcases is the second shelf from the top, and there is a photo album—"

Almost as soon as the words fell, Quicksilver rushed out and jumped back, and the gust of wind blew up Logan's carefully combed hairstyle.

The cheerful white-haired boy held a thick photo album in his hands, "Here, Professor X!"

Logan brushed his hair expressionlessly.

Everyone got together to watch Professor X flip through the photo album, check each one, and when he was almost done, he finally found the target.

"Mr. Wayne is really handsome!" Wanda couldn't help boasting.

Magneto became alert instantly, and turned his head to tell his daughter: "That old bastard is about the same age as me!"

"..." Wanda rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "Dad, you are so boring!"

Wanda, who disliked her old father, left Magneto, went around to the other side, and squeezed in between Cyclops and Jean Gray, and the two girls were quite close together.

"When it comes to romance, Mr. Wayne is really an expert," Qin said with emotion, "I never forget to hold my girlfriend when I take a group photo."

"This posture is not like treating a female companion," Wanda thought for a while, "it's like treating a daughter."

When we were shopping in the supermarket before, Magneto grabbed her sleeve casually like this to prevent her from getting lost.

"What daughter?" "What companion?"

The inquiry sounded at the same time.

"Here." Qin pointed to the photo and asked suspiciously, "Can't you see it?"

The men narrowed their eyes, and suddenly realized after a while.

Wanda: "...the acting is too fake!"

Red, so obvious, can't you see?

"No, no, you mean I really didn't pay attention before!" Kuaiyin shook his head out of the shadow.

"It's really strange." Logan frowned, "I didn't look there."

But the photo is so big, you can always scan it a few times, why can't you see it.

"Professor?" Wanda asked nervously when she noticed that Professor X had closed her eyes.

"It's okay, I have an impression," Professor X said softly, "It was a charity dinner, and Mr. Wayne...brought his daughter along."

Everyone else said the same thing: "Bruce Wayne has a daughter?!"

"Yes," Professor X nodded affirmatively, "she is a very beautiful...but cold-hearted girl."

He remembered that scene, and deeply wondered how he could forget——

The door was pushed open, and the white-haired and red-eyed Yuan Chun was wearing an exquisite burgundy off-the-shoulder dress, stepped on five-centimeter high heels, held Bruce Wayne's arm, and stepped into the venue facing the dazzling light.

She is brighter than the glow.

At that moment, all the media's long | guns | short |

Yuanchun's expression, which has attracted much attention, has not changed at all, and the corners of his mouth have not even raised a millimeter. He is as indifferent as the perennial snow on a glacier, in stark contrast to Bruce Wayne, who is smiling brightly.

During the entire banquet, the only time she showed what could be called a "smile" was when Louise Lane took pictures of Bruce, Professor X and Carlos Green.

Professor X was chatting with Carlos about investing. He, who has been multitasking all the year round and never delays things, heard the faint voices of father and daughter talking next to him.

Bruce: "Together?"

Yuanchun: "No."

Bruce: "Five cakes."

Yuanchun: "...No."

Bruce gave a soft "tsk", "I'll take you out to play at night."

After a long silence, Yuan Jun still answered "No", but it sounded far less firm than before.

Professor X couldn't help taking a glance from the corner of his eye, and just caught the brief moment when the corner of Yuanchun's mouth slightly moved.

Immediately afterwards, he was noticed by Yuanchun, and the two looked at each other.

Professor X didn't know what he was like in Yuanchun's eyes, he only knew that when Yuanchun looked over, what he saw was not the girl's bright eyes, kindness and sweet smile, but a kind of mountain collapse and raging waves The sense of terror that the violent waves smashed down on them.

This kind of horror is so overwhelming that people can't even scream in fear, and can only wait for themselves to be completely smashed bit by bit, crushed into powder.

Although there was only a very, very short moment, so short that the countdown could not be picked out, Professor X was absolutely sure that it was not an illusion.

Under Yuanchun's exquisite and beautiful appearance, there is an abyss that cannot be seen directly.

With Professor X's character and sense of responsibility, he will try his best to investigate Yuanchun's situation, and at the same time gently hint to remind Bruce Wayne, in short, to mobilize all forces to ensure that Yuanchun is not a threat or will not become a threat.

But judging from the current results, maybe he didn't do it, maybe he did, but the memory and arrangement were erased along with the forgotten Yuanchun.

Professor X woke up from the memory, and the wailing sound of the seal that locked the entire city lingering in his mind has been much weaker, at least it won't make him feel distressed.

Most of those wailings were meaningless cries, just to vent their pain, but occasionally one or two sleepwalking ravings were mixed in.

"...get out of here...stay away from them..."

"...get out of...my...home!"

The body made into a seal still has little chance of retaining consciousness. Death will take everything away cruelly. Only the fiery obsession that cannot be let go at the last moment of life is deeply engraved in the flesh and bone marrow, turning into irregular repetitions, Crazy talk on and off.

The last memory that Professor X can remember about Yuanchun is four years ago, a note that was stuck in the novel as a bookmark, on which he wrote a memo: 17-08-03, Ms. W, psychological grooming.

When he saw this note, he pressed his head and thought hard, and finally found out the ins and outs of writing this sentence from the dusty pile of old papers in his memory.

It seems that during that time Bruce noticed that his daughter always looked restless, and asked her what was wrong, but she only said that she didn't sleep well, and she concealed something as soon as she heard it.Considering that asking a psychiatrist directly might arouse the child's rebellious emotions, Bruce found Professor X and asked him to pretend to chat casually at the next banquet and secretly explore what was going on.

Then there was no more, according to Bruce's plan, there should have been a banquet, but Professor X racked his brains to recall, even wearing a brain wave enhancing machine, still clueless.

There is no follow-up banquet, memories that stop abruptly;

Miss Wayne, who was once the focus of everyone's attention, but is now forgotten by everyone;

The blocked city, the deep obsession in the seal;

……

Doctor Strange stretched out his hand, trying to touch the boundary that exists in the air but cannot be seen, "You said that this seal is a part of a person's body, and it belongs to her?"

In the field of black magic, it is true that human bodies are used as raw materials, but most of the refined products are full of evil and pollution. Even the master is difficult to control, and it is easy to be backlashed.

The most important thing is that there is not enough energy - a seal large enough to cover the entire city requires unimaginable energy, not to mention that the seal is still extremely strong and has not been broken so far.

Anyway, I can't succeed if I just fill it in, and adding a time gem is still a little bit of a door.Doctor Strange thought silently.

"She sounded alive just now," Tony said blankly. "A ghost?"

"For some powerful magicians, the presence or absence of a body is not important," Doctor Strange explained, "Sometimes without the shackles of the body, they will become more powerful with only the soul left."

But can Yuanchun be as powerful as he is now?Is this the power of the person who saves the world prophesied by Emperor Weishan?Didn't she really come to trouble the world?Doctor Strange felt extremely entangled. On the one hand, he believed in Weissandi's prophecy, but on the other hand, Yuanchun's deception made him suspicious.

Tony was a little annoyed, and felt absurdly funny again, "So this mysterious Miss Wayne is a liar, and she is responsible for all the troubles now?"

"Then... are you still going in?" Zatanna asked hesitantly.

Tony: "Of course my lady, there are millions of innocent residents out there."

Regardless of whether it is a trap or not, you have to find a way to unblock it.

"She... is not a liar." Professor X said suddenly.

Tony: "What?"

Professor X: "This seal cannot be arranged in a day or two."

Zatanna nodded in agreement, "The larger the magic circle, the more power it needs to maintain its operation, and the longer the preparation time."

According to Zatana's knowledge, it is normal to prepare the magic circle that covers the entire city for five or six years. In the long run, it may be possible in ten years or so.

"I'm more inclined that this is left over from the previous accident," Professor X sorted out his chaotic thoughts, "The remaining obsession in the seal is protection, which is the only meaning that 'it' thinks exists."

No matter how hypocritical a person's life is, in the face of death, what he confides is the truth.

Home represents Gotham, and the seal wants to drive something out of Gotham, but it seals off the entire city.

"It wants to block something inside," Professor X muttered, "Once that thing comes out, it's not just Gotham that will suffer."

If today's situation is a continuation or recurrence of the mysterious incident in Gotham four years ago, then Yuan Jun must have done something to keep the city.

"...fog." Doctor Strange understood.

"Have you decided who to send in?" Constantine broke the silence, "We can't delay any longer."

Wonder Woman was still the first to sign up, and Scarlet Witch also wanted to go in and have a look, but was excluded because she was underage, squatting beside her with puffy cheeks and drawing circles sullenly.

"Look at others, look at you." Tony stared at Constantine with condemning eyes.

Constantine didn't care at all, anyway, he just didn't want to go in, no matter what others said, it didn't matter.

Jean Gray whispered, "Professor—"

"You stay outside," Constantine interrupted Jean, "it's messy enough inside."

In case of an accident, the black phoenix explodes|explodes, which will only make the situation even more chaotic.

Qin sighed helplessly.

"I'll go." The Flash held up his hand. "I'm going fast! Uh, and then..."

"I think it's okay," Constantine said. "It's good to run fast. As long as you can run and survive to the end, you will win."

The Flash: "..." Why didn't I feel the joy of being praised at all?

Everyone has no objection, and the candidate has been decided in this way.

Doctor Strange and Zatanna activated the space gem together, and a beautiful and dazzling blue beam fell on the seal, causing a burst of violent fluctuations like water ripples.

Everyone could feel a strong, extremely oppressive force spreading, and gradually, a gap appeared outside the seal, which slowly expanded.

"Be careful," Tony warned worriedly, "Go to the old bat first and tell him our speculation."

"Don't worry." Wonder Woman smiled, looking very reliable.

Flash also gave a thumbs up.

Konstantin lip-synced from behind, "Run--quick--"

Flash: "..." You are so annoying!

The seal was opened, but as Zatanna said, it only existed for a very short moment, and except for the Flash, the rest didn't even react.

The Flash picked up Wonder Woman and rushed into the seal without hesitation.

The seal was closed, and the huge energy was retracted, bringing up a terrifying gust of wind, which made everyone present reel.

The energy emitted by the space gem hit the reclosed seal and was completely bounced back, almost hitting Doctor Strange.

Tony and Captain America supported each other and poked out from behind the tool rack.Tony frowned and shouted: "Can you do it! Doesn't it mean that there is definitely no problem, can you open it?"

"...should be no problem?" Doctor Strange caught the space gem in a hurry, turned it around and studied it, with question marks all over his head.

"Where is the analysis wrong?" Zatana pressed the top hat, a confused look appeared on her face, and then she found herself being held in Constantine's arms, her face blushed slightly, she quickly jumped out, and looked at the strange The doctor went, "...Thank you."

"Oh, I can't help it. Let me take a look." Constantine followed behind.

The Scarlet Witch frowned slightly. She looked around, sizing up everyone's actions, and finally met Jean Gray's eyes, seeing the same suspicion in the other's eyes.

An indescribably strange sense of incompatibility enveloped them faintly, as if something had happened, but no one noticed.

"Have you discussed who to send in?" Constantine asked casually.

"You should make sure you can open the door first!" Tony rolled his eyes.
