Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 681 36. Home

Identifying the families of the captive children, and assisting the mutants in Utopia, and sending the homeless children to the island, these complicated things lasted for 2 full days.

Miss Louise Lane, a reporter from the "Daily Planet" who has been staying in Mexico, also got the big news she wanted as she wished.

Because of Clark's relationship, Louise was the first reporter to intervene and report on this incident. She also got the qualification to interview Professor Charles and some parties involved, and even went to the depths of the swamp once accompanied by Clark. In the abandoned building, watch the traces of the battle left by that day.

Of course, the context of this incident has been slightly changed.

"An illegal organization trying to use children to make super slaves, a group of mutants who traveled thousands of miles to rescue their compatriots, a wise and determined leader, and these innocent children rescued by federal agents."

In the manor, after finishing a manuscript, Louise looked out the window at the children who were waiting to leave, with a reassuring smile on her face.

The lady reporter turned her head and said to Clark who was packing up behind her:

"This report will definitely rekindle interest in the persecution of mutants, especially the footage of our interview with Professor Charles, and the videos of mutants helping children, which will definitely raise awareness of the mysterious mutants. Urban Utopia is more favorable. It's a pity that I didn't get to interview those mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. agents."

"Trust me, it's a good thing, Louise. Dealing with S.H.I.E.L.D. is definitely not as good as you think it is."

Clark carried the heavy equipment on his back. He pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said to his girlfriend:

"And I think it's more meaningful for us to interview some of these good things than to pay attention to those killing and killing things all day long. It can make the world a better place and make people believe that there is still justice in the world. And hope, those good things ... those commendable qualities, that's what journalists should do."

"Oh, are you accusing me?"

Louise crossed her hips and said to Clark:

"I used to get awards for exposing ugly things."

"No, it's not the same."

Clark argued:

"You're fighting evil too, so you're a hero too."

He frivolously put his arm around Louise's slender waist, and whispered:

"Okay, my hero lady, we've been out shopping for so long, it's time for us to go home."

When Clark and Louise got on the plane back to New York, Merlin was already on the way back. Of course, he only needed a transfer spell to send himself and Laura back to New York, which was better than flying or something. It's so convenient.

Between the distortions of the light, Merlin and Laura returned to the door of Hell's Kitchen, and he still held a mission briefing in his hand.

"Well, Namor still left with Charles."

Merlin noticed some unusual information in the briefing, and he let out a chuckle:

"It seems that 'Charles' has also noticed the potential of Namor. Think about it. Utopia is in the sea, which is Namor's home field. A good relationship with Namor will make Utopia no longer have to worry about... Well, Ang Slat said no, but his body is very honest."

Laura, who was by Merlin's side, didn't know why Merlin was laughing or why he was so happy, but she didn't care either, and she wouldn't pay too much attention to things that had nothing to do with her.

She grabbed Merlin's hand and looked around curiously.

She knew that Merlin could do magic, but coming to this strange place from Mexico in an instant still made Laura feel a little uneasy.

She was adopted by Mister Sinister's organization almost since she was a child. In her limited and cleaned memory, she spent almost every day in that silver-gray building except for the last escape. .

She accepted the X gene activation experiment, accepted the painful Edman alloy injection, and followed Namor to learn the combat skills of killing people. Her life was monotonous and simple, pale and not worthy of nostalgia.

After meeting Merlin, her always cool-toned life had a touch of warmth.

Merlin held her hand and brought her into a new life. Although, Laura preferred to maintain her life for a few days, staying with Merlin, wherever she wanted, would make people feel at ease.

But better...just the two of them.

She doesn't like strangers, and she doesn't like contact with strangers.

"You look a little nervous, girl."

Merlin noticed Laura's expression. This silent child was like a wolf cub entering a strange hunting ground. Her body was tense, as if she was ready to pounce and fight at any time.

"Come on, come with me."

Merlin let go of Laura's hand. He patted the girl on the head, then took out the key and opened the door.

"Ah, brother, you're finally back! The house is in disarray, Rocket and Groot are in the backyard..."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lorna rushed out of the room. This 13-year-old girl ran over at a gallop, her green hair fluttering back and forth, looking extremely stunning.

For a while, Merlin also wondered why Lorna's hair was always so flowing, and later he realized that it was the nature of girls to love beauty, and Lorna would always use magnetic force to make her hair look more fluffy and more beautiful.

Well, I don't know if Magneto, who is currently cultivating himself in the isolated island prison, will cry when he sees this scene.

But Lorna's plan to fly into Merlin's arms to express her love for her brother was forcibly interrupted, because she saw Laura hiding behind Merlin and looking at her curiously.

What Miss Lorna was most worried about finally happened!

Merlin went out for a trip and brought back another girl!

Counting Lorna herself, which number is this?

"who is she!"

Lorna blocked the door, pointing at Laura and screaming:

"You're bringing other kids back! The house won't fit! I'm going to tell Raven...she'll hate you too!"

"No, Raven doesn't hate me."

Merlin rubbed his forehead with a headache, and he said to the aggressive Lorna:

"Actually, Ruiwen doesn't care about these things at all. Well, Lorna, don't be angry and let Laura in. I believe that you two will become good friends. It only takes a while to get acquainted."

"No! No!"

Lorna pouted and stared at Laura, who cried out:

"I reject!"

This stupid girl blocked the door by herself, as if to strengthen her aura, she also called out her pet, and amidst the surge of magnetic force, two cool metal eagles rushed out from the backyard flapping their wings, baring their teeth and claws floating beside Lorna.

But the next moment...

"bass, bass"

There were two muffled sounds, and two X-shaped crossed sword lights flashed. Laura jumped up and landed on the ground in a standard assassin's action. She spread her hands and stood in front of Merlin. The claws on her fists had already It popped out, obviously, she felt uneasy and threatened.

In front of her eyes, those two useless metal eagles had been cut into several pieces. During the surging current, those pieces hit the ground, metal parts were thrown everywhere, and emitted Billowing black smoke.

"Ah! You broke my pet!"

Lorna was so distressed that she almost cried when she saw her beloved metal eagle being cut into pieces.

This was given to her by Merlin!

"You pay!"

Little Magneto opened his hands, and the tumbling magnetic force quickly formed a disordered magnetic field. Laura immediately felt that her arms and feet were out of order. The Edman alloy in her arms and feet produced a strange vibration in the magnetic field. Power, like an invisible hand, grabbed Laura's body and hovered in the air.

With Lorna's hands spread out, Laura, who was struggling constantly, was also pulled apart.

The little wolf girl struggled desperately, but faced with Lorna, who had completely defeated her and was trained very well by Xuan Lan, she had almost no resistance... In fact, if she didn't have the Adamantium alloy in her body, It was impossible for Lorna to control her so easily.

But now, her greatest weapon has become her greatest weakness.

"Okay! Stop messing around!"

Merlin stretched out his hand and threw two repair spells, and the fragments on the ground quickly reorganized into two complete metal eagles under the washing of magic power.He popped another puff of black smoke and forcibly controlled Lorna's body, preventing her from bullying the new little wolf girl.

"Hmph! You really don't love me anymore!"

Lorna was also very wronged. Seeing Merlin standing by Laura's side, there were tears in her eyes.It was obvious that the two children were having a temper tantrum, but Meilin felt that the scene had the atmosphere of a family drama at eight o'clock.

To make matters worse, there are spoilers.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? The Kree are calling?"

The two "guests" who were disturbed by the situation at the door, Rocket Raccoon and the tree figure Groot, who were temporarily staying at Merlin's house, also ran over. There are several chirping birds standing on each head, which looks like a real big tree.

The silly dog ​​Frank also ran into the hall. He had the best relationship with Lorna, so he stood by Lorna's side, like a loyal dog loyal to his master, and kept snarling fiercely at the little wolf girl. .

But as before, the silly dog ​​didn't have the courage to jump out.

It has no confidence in its own fighting power.

"Meow meow."

This lively scene also alarmed Mr. Gugu who was sleeping in the nest. The orange cat walked to the railing on the second floor with elegant and lazy steps. It looked down and was surprised to find that its servant Merlin And brought back a human cub it didn't recognize.

Hmm... looks delicious.

Of course, it just looks like Master Gu Gu stopped eating people a long time ago, and Merlin has already spoiled his appetite, but Master Gu Gu will not touch any cat food that costs less than 200 dollars.

"Quiet!"

The noise in the house made Merlin's head hurt. He was a wizard, and wizards generally didn't like noise.

He yelled out to the others in the room:

"This is my family's internal affairs, don't meddle in it! Do what you should do."

Seeing that Merlin was showing signs of getting angry, Frank was the first to give up. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Rocket also took Groot back to the backyard to continue the open-air barbecue. Only Mr. Gugu was still lying there with great interest, looking at Merlin Deal with family conflicts.

"What's wrong? Why are you so noisy? Why are you still crying? Who messed with you?"

Ruiwen, who was preparing potions in the underground alchemy room, was also shocked. This 15-year-old girl came to the living room wearing a long skirt and glasses. Although she was only two years older than Lorna, Ruiwen belonged to Merlin's family. Among the children, apart from Eric and Charlie who had moved out, they were the most mature ones.

Seeing Ruiwen walk into the living room, the aggrieved Lorna ran to her side and grabbed Ruiwen's hand, as if she had found a backer.

She whispered to Ruiwen what happened, and Merlin took Laura into the room, put Laura's schoolbag on the sofa, and got a bottle of drink for the little wolf girl.

The little wolf girl herself was not wronged, she knew that Lorna was Merlin's younger sister, and Merlin had told her about it when she came here before.

To be honest, she was a little jealous of Lorna and Ruiwen, but she didn't show it, and maintained the same indifferent expression as before.Soon, Laura felt that someone was watching her. She raised her head, followed her gaze, and saw a fat orange cat lying on the railing on the second floor, looking at the looking at her.

And in the backyard, Rocket Raccoon and Treants are talking. This is the first time Laura has seen talking raccoons and Treants.

She couldn't help scratching her hair...

Hmm, I always feel like I've come to a strange place.

"Raven, I'm giving Laura to you. She'll live at home. The kid has a miserable past. Well, it's on par with your past. But I think you and her will hit it off. You two are alike, really."

Merlin took out his pocket watch to check the time, and he said to Ruiwen:

"Don't let Lorna bully her. I'm going out for a while, and I'll come back in the afternoon or evening. Remember not to let Rocket and Groot run around."

"Well, you go."

Ruiwen, who has changed from an indifferent girl in the past to an intellectual big girl, pushed her round glasses. While comforting Lorna who complained to her, she said to Merlin:

"I'll take care of the two of them, but remember to come back for dinner tonight. Matt and his friends will come over tonight. They seem to have something to say to you."

"Well, I'll try my best."

Merlin walked up to Laura and whispered a few words to Laura.

The little wolf girl was a little bit reluctant, but since Merlin was going to work, she couldn't keep pestering him.

After Merlin left, Laura sat quietly on the sofa. She opened the schoolbag Merlin bought for her and took out a comic book. At that moment, a gentle voice came into her ears.

"Hi Laura, my name is Raven."

The little wolf girl raised her head, and saw Ruiwen standing in front of her, reaching out her hand.

"You can call me Ruiwen, or, just call me sister..."
