The big orange is the most important [comprehensive British and American]

Fiona, who could not move or walk, was forcibly restrained in place. At this time, she found that the severe headache that had plagued her since the explosion had calmed down. That is to say, she is now either Hallucinated from excessive pain, or entered a place that only a few psychics can enter:

the spiritual world of others.

If this is really someone else's spiritual world that Fiona has only had the pleasure of hearing about, but has never experienced in person, then this empty and cold feeling must be the menacing uninvited guest.

As a result, just when she got up and was about to take a good look around her, she suddenly felt a new pain, but it was different from the previous kind of mental headache that was too dark and hopeless and oppressed by the aura. This time the pain was very grounded:

In this vast expanse of heavy snow, she was snow blind.

——It's all right!Fiona blinked her eyes hard to squeeze out the tears, and gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, which shows that she is really optimistic:

I have never heard of this kind of situation in other people's spiritual world. It seems that I am really a genius.

She didn't know at all that the good words she said to herself just now, and the unintentional words, were actually a big truth.Even in the St. Petersburg Witch Association, there are very few psychics who can "recreate the past and enter the spiritual world", let alone experience such a realistic situation that can affect the external state.

Just when Iron Man and the unknown person occupied a corner of the ruins and confronted each other, the police finally arrived amidst the sound of sirens.Still lingering in the spiritual realm of the uninvited guest, in that seemingly endless snowfield, she has no idea how scary her current external situation looks.A steady stream of tears flowed continuously from those gray eyes that were out of focus and lost even the last gleam of sanity. Her face was so pale that there was no blood at all. If her chest was not still heaving and rising regularly , and the pulse is strong enough, I am afraid that it is not too much to say "this is the flashback before death".

Slowly, Fiona could feel that the restraints imposed on her were gradually loosening. Although she couldn't move so far, she could at least move her hands and feet.She has explored the situation in this spiritual realm by looking around before, and found that it is very barren here, and the rumors heard sporadically, "You can see his inner world, see his past pain and happiness "It doesn't quite match--

Unless this snowfield is the pain of the uninvited guest.

This pain was too excessive, too desperate, too long-lasting, and too hurtful, so in the long years, this pain continued to ferment, expand and grow in his spiritual realm, and finally became such a barren On the icy snowfield, all the beauty and happiness are buried under the thick snow, and nothing can be exposed.

Suddenly Fiona crouched down and began digging hard like a groundhog.It's just that her movement in the spiritual world is reflected in the outside world, at best it's just a few weak twitches of her fingers.

And after an unknown amount of time—the snow she dug out was almost as tall as she was squatting—afterwards, she could finally see that hidden under a thick layer of white snow was a large fertile and Wet black earth, and on this land, dotted with sporadic white snow, there is a small flower that has withered for a long time, but the stems and branches are still green.

It was as if in the boundless darkness and helplessness, there was still the last bit of hope that "someone will find me".

There is also a nameplate next to the flower.Fiona has seen the style of this nameplate in the collection hall of the League of Assassins. Some evil assassins will collect some iconic things of the people who died under them. This is obviously worn by American soldiers during World War II. The nameplates that were written and used to verify the identity of the deceased after death are one of those sleazy collectibles.Fiona only had time to see the fairly popular "James" on the nameplate, and before she had time to brush off the white snow and see the concealed second half of the surname, she was grabbed by the waist and held her hand by some powerful force. Taking her back to the real world with the force of a violent wind.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the half face of the person in front of her with clear and smooth lines, quite a sexy atmosphere unique to men.Bruce, who had always appeared as a "playboy without a job" in media reports, was uncharacteristically pursing his lips tightly, and carefully carried her out of the ruins and sent her to a stretcher.

After noticing the slight struggle of the person in his arms, Bruce took the initiative to distance himself from her to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, and told the surrounding medical staff:

"Please send her to the hospital as soon as possible, she is quite frightened."

Only then did Fiona realize that there was no wound on her body at all, and the severe headache that had been bothering her before had also stopped. Based on the idea of ​​"don't waste medical resources", she struggled subconsciously: "I don't even Just—"No hurt, no fright!Rather, I have learned a lot just now. I already know the name of that person. If the police need me, I can take my certificate to testify as soon as possible!

Bruce took a deep look at her and forced all her unfinished words back into his stomach: "You need to go to the hospital."

In the blink of an eye, Fiona seemed to understand something:

Even an adult male was seriously injured, if she was really unscathed in this terrorist attack, not even mentally damaged, then something would definitely be exposed, such as her extraordinary place.

The consequences of "being forced to reveal Themis' identity" and "actively informing the police of his identity in order to solve the case" are completely different.If her identity is unintentionally revealed, it is equivalent to announcing to the world that Themis is here, and it is more convenient for those who have been hiding in the dark and trying to take her life, and they can even bribe ordinary people. However, if she voluntarily informs the police of her identity, then following the principle of "protecting the people involved in the case", at least the police can provide her with some help to hide her identity, although such help is scary in front of the real bad guys. It's vulnerable, but it's better than nothing.

So if she really wants to help solve the case, she shouldn't show her specialness in public now, at least until the focus of this matter is removed from her.

Thinking of this, Fiona stopped all struggles, and was sent to the hospital obediently on a stretcher.

Before being sent to the ambulance, she looked into Bruce's steel blue eyes, and vaguely remembered what he came to her for, and quickly grabbed his clothes:

"I can't have that money, sir, it's not what I deserve."

Her gray eyes used to shed tears due to the snow blindness in the spiritual world before, although she stopped crying now, they are still wet, and her gentle and soft look is quite harmless: "Also, thank you very much for protecting me just now. "

It was only then that Bruce realized that the most critical issue he had come to New York this time, that is, Fiona's next whereabouts, background, ability, and a series of issues had not been resolved.Not only did she not solve any of the problems, but instead blocked her from a disaster, she felt a little helpless, but when she thought that she was facing such a girl who didn't even go to a regular school and didn't even understand the world, she would only use it wholeheartedly. With the greatest kindness to guess others, don’t know much about his own abilities, but still have justice in his heart and be able to take action to protect others, Bruce doesn’t want to say anything.In the end, he just stretched out his hand, keeping a distance that could bring her a sense of security without being too intimate, gently wiped away a little tear from the corner of her eye, and said in a low voice:

"... She's still a little girl."

And at this moment, a reply letter from the United States Ministry of Magic finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and reached a famous broom company in the British Isles.Although this country has "United States" in its name, the cultural policy it has always adhered to is inclusive, but in the world of wizards, the name "United States" has not been fully utilized. Compared with the world of ordinary people, it is It can be seen that American wizards are also quite xenophobic.

People from the U.S. Ministry of Magic attached great importance to the matter of "little wizards dropping out of school" at the beginning. All skeptics began to question the intention of the person who wrote the letter:

"That's Durmstrang, the black wizard factory. Why do their people stretch their hands so long?"

"Since it's a letter from Durmstrang, the credibility... I didn't say it, let's think it over again, shall we?"

Occasionally, there are non-skeptics who are not very optimistic: "Who knows if this wizard is from our country? If it is a foreign nationality, it will be even more difficult to check. They can choose to study." There are too many schools, so we can't take the list of registered young wizards nationwide and compare them with the school-age students in each school, right?"

This is still an optimistic view, "This little wizard who is out of school is an officially registered native of the United States", but what if this wizard is not a native of the United States, but an outsider?What if it was an out-of-school wizard with a foreign nationality who came to the United States after the age of 11?Then not only is she not listed on the official list of young wizards in the United States, she will not even be included in Ilvermorny's records; moreover, the most important thing is that the Ministry of Magic sent a "violation notice for not using magic wands during holidays" to underage wizards. When dealing with this kind of thing, it relies on the "trace thread" installed in the little wizard's wand; reverse reasoning shows that the difficulty of troubleshooting an underage wizard who does not even have a wand is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. When Zongsi is looking for people, he can only find people one by one by comparing the list.

Quite troublesome.

Therefore, under many obstacles, this matter did not go very smoothly at the beginning. No, compared to the saying "not smooth", it seems that "no one regards this matter as something that the US Department of Magic can handle." More appropriately, in the reply to the letter to the UK, the head of the US Ministry of Magic adopted a rather official and cold statement:

[Dear sir, hello.

Thank you very much for your report, we really appreciate it.After receiving the letter, we immediately compared the list of wizards registered in the United States with the list of students enrolled in Ilvermorny, and we learned that all the young wizards in the United States are studying in Ilvermorny, and we did not find any Any situation in your letter that "young wizards of the right age are out of school".

Thank you for your letter and your enthusiasm for the education of our country. Goodbye. 】

This letter, which was obviously just nonsense, didn't take his report to heart at all, and didn't conduct any investigation—if they really investigated the list, this time would certainly not be enough—as soon as the letter was delivered, Durmster was angry. Lang's former flying professor almost stuffed it in the fireplace for fuel.

It can be seen that bureaucracy does not only exist in the world of ordinary people.
