[Comprehensive British and American] Alien girls are still saving the earth today

Although Jinx knew that Pietro's ability was speed the day before, this was the first time she directly felt the horror of Pietro's speed.

When she put the phone down from her ear, she felt a gust of wind behind her, blowing the hair on her sideburns. The next second, things in her field of vision began to move rapidly, from the empty corridors of the teaching building to the busy New York City On the street, she couldn't help but blinked, and in this blink, the scene stopped suddenly while she was moving at high speed, and her hand holding the phone was still raised in midair.

She is standing on a balcony at the moment. From her height, she can see a piece of vibrant green under the balcony. Under the tall North American redwoods, there is a pebbled path hidden among the grass. Above the treetops are dense clouds, as if there will be heavy rain pouring down in the next moment, turning this fir forest into a moist dark green.

She grew up in the vast ocean, lived in the desert for several years, and saw the prosperity of New York after coming to the earth, but it was the first time she came to a world that completely belonged to the plants on the earth.

She silently put the phone back in her handbag, and then heard Pietro whispering behind her: "The thing is, I can't take you to school to see Michael directly, and the professor will be suspicious if he finds out, so you are here first Later, I will go back to school to see if the professor is there, and I will pick you up when the professor leaves."

He was obviously in a hurry and spoke so fast that Jinx couldn't keep up with his thinking at all, so he just looked at him in a daze.

Pietro pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed: "It's like this, we can't let the professor know that Michael is injured."

"Why?" Jinx asked.

When she received Pietro's call, her first reaction was that Michael was injured while fighting the Chiritas. Since it was due to the battle, why couldn't their professor know.

"Because..." Pietro rubbed his nose, "he got it from skateboarding."

Jinx: "..."

"He competed with a group of ordinary people on U-platform skateboarding, but the skateboard was tampered with by those people and there was an accident. In order not to expose his identity in front of ordinary people, so he..." Peter Luo paused, "The professor once advised him not to A skateboarder, because he's too heavy on his forelimbs, it's not easy to balance."

Jinx: "..."

As expected, he is the grandson of Anthony, the most powerful giant crab man. He has perfectly inherited Anthony's genes. The crab claws are so huge that they affect the balance.

"Then why are you looking for me? Shouldn't you be looking for a doctor?" Jinx said indifferently, "You've delayed my studies."

The afternoon class is world history, which allows her to study the earth's culture in depth. This is one of the reasons why she is so active in repelling the Chiritas. No one can delay her study.

Pietro looked at her with a sad expression on his face: "Jinx, how can you be so indifferent, when Michael was injured, as a younger sister, you should cheer him up and let him survive!"

Jinx: "..."

"When I was injured, Wanda was always by my side, cheering for me and cheering me up, letting me know that I haven't lost yet, only with my sister's love, I am the happiest person in the world !"

Jinx: "..."

Even without thinking for six seconds, she felt a dull pain in her forehead.

She rubbed her forehead and asked, "where did Michael hurt?"

She also kept some regular medical supplies, bandages, pain relievers and even antidiarrheals in Chris II, and maybe she could help a group of Michael who was seriously injured because of pretending to be in front of ordinary people.

"Oh, he fell while doing somersaults and tried to support his body with his hands, but he miscalculated his own weight, so his hand was crushed and broken," Pietro said.

Jinx: "...his... crab claws..."

"Yes, broken." Pietro said with certainty.

Jinx: "..."

This was the first time she heard that the giant crabman's claw was broken. If Admiral Anthony knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he would tear off the thick gold chain around his neck.

"This is the Baldwin Barn Bookstore in West Chester. The owner of the bookstore is also a mutant. We often come here to pass the time." After explaining the whole story to Jinx, Pietro pulled off the goggles on his head and hung them on the Eye sockets, "Now I'll go back to school to find out, and I'll pick you up later, you can go to the study to read if you have nothing to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person disappeared from the balcony, and a gust of wind blew Jinx's temples.

Jinx brushed the sideburns sticking to his cheeks behind his ears, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the balcony. The green was a little dark under the cloud, but the dark green moss under the shade of the trees was another sight. The quiet vitality that is different from the emerald green seems to be in a different world from the steel forest New York that has just been attacked by the Qiruitas.

West Chester Township, Pennsylvania, home of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

A swallow-tailed kite flapped its wings and flew out from the forest, casting a flashing shadow on her body. The canopy, the needles and leaves whirling, and the faint sound of music reached her ears. She turned her head and saw the wooden door at the end of the balcony. It is clean, without any dust or stains, and besides the sound of music, there is also a beam of light leaking out from the gap in the door, which is warm yellow and brighter in the darkening sky, just like coming from the deep sea A lighthouse on the sea seen in it.

Jinx walked toward the door, and the music became clearer as he got closer.

"I'venever meant to cause youanyysorrow,

i'venever meant to cause you any pain.

I only wanted acetosee you laughing,

only waoseeyoulanguhinginthepurplerain.”

She pushed open the wooden door and activated the wind chimes tied to the door frame. The jingle bells rang a few times, which alarmed the dozing tabby cat in the center of the room. at her feet.

She closed the door, shutting the pattering rain behind her.

The bright candle lights on the ceiling swayed gently. Under the warm yellow light, there were tall bookshelves on all sides of the room. From the top floor to the bottom floor, they were filled with thick books. The cat glanced at her, stretched itself on the ground, and jumped downstairs from the stairs in the corner. She followed up, supported the wall, and walked downstairs slowly.

The shoes stepped on the wooden stairs, and the stairs made a few creaking sounds. The fat cat was surprisingly agile, and jumped down the stairs in just a few strokes, onto the desk in the middle of the room. There are piles of thick or thin books, a desk lamp with a dark green shade is placed on the corner of the table, and an old gramophone is next to the desk lamp. The stylus is reading a slowly rotating vinyl record. "The male voice came from here.

Jinx had never seen a gramophone, but thought this old loudspeaker was amazing, and the songs played out were more pleasing to her than the ones she heard on the Walkman.

She went down the stairs and saw an open window next to a bookshelf. The rain came in from the window and had already soaked the corner of the red velvet curtain. The rain brought a gust of wind and blew into the room, flipping the pages of the book that were randomly placed on the desk. Yusi let the cat lying on the book let out a cry of dissatisfaction, shook its fur, jumped off the desk, and ran towards the arch.

She walked quickly to the window and pulled it shut. Drops of rain water hit the window glass, and then slid down from the glass, leaving a crooked water mark.

She heard the sound of wheels rolling on the floor, turned her head sideways, and saw that the cat that had been sitting by the arch licking its paws seemed to have discovered something, meowed excitedly, and jumped up. The man in the wheelchair firmly caught the fat cat and placed it gently on his lap.

The man on the phonograph was still singing "I only waosee you underh the purple rain". Although it was a slightly tough voice, the singing voice was unexpectedly gentle. The vague sound of rain outside the window seemed to be a purple rain falling all over the sky.

The man in the wheelchair stretched out his hand and gently scratched the cat's chin, raised his head, and looked at Jinx with blue eyes like the shallow sea under the clear sky, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, with a faint smile.

"Guests who came to buy books?"

This is a mature voice that is completely different from Peter and other teenagers, but it is also different from the military bosses that Jinx often comes into contact with. It is softer, not like a soldier, like a teacher.

Not a teacher who teaches math.

Jinx looked at him, then at the tabby cat lying on his lap, and blinked.

She looked sideways at the old-fashioned gramophone and asked, "Is that thing for sale?"

Compared with books, she prefers the songs playing from the loudspeaker.

The man froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's the owner's collection, I can't decide where it goes."

Jinx was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still had an expression of indifference on the surface.She rarely has mood swings, and no one except her adoptive father, Marshal Enrique, can capture her rare subtle emotions.

She didn't think the man in the wheelchair would either.

But the man smiled and said, "gramophones are not for sale, but vinyl records are for sale."

"Vinyl record?" Jinx looked at the black disc under the stylus, "That thing?"

The man supported the wheelchair with both hands, and brought himself to the front of the desk. At this time, the music had reached the end. He opened the stylus, and the music stopped abruptly, and the pattering rain outside the window became clearer.

"Purple Rain, Prince's work in 1984, a collector's edition record." He reached out and took the vinyl record off the phonograph, and gently tapped the round hole of the record with his slender and fair fingers, and handed it to Jinx superior.

She took the vinyl record from that man with a feeling of care.

"This... Can you sell it to me?" She asked again.

"Of course." The man smiled, his blue eyes curved, "This is my collection, I can decide to sell it to you."

At this time, the mobile phone in her handbag began to sing "Kill me and eat me" again, and the rhythmic music exploded in the quiet space, startling the cat sleeping on the man's lap, "Meow With a sound, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and immediately took out her mobile phone from her handbag. She knew how to answer the phone this time. She slid her thumb over the mobile phone interface, and then heard Pietro's voice coming from the mobile phone. out.

"Great the professor isn't on campus! Jinx, are you still in the barn bookstore? Give me five seconds and I'll be right over!"

Before Jinx could answer, Pietro over there had already hung up the phone, and at this moment, she didn't see the man sitting in front of her raise his eyebrows.

Five seconds later, Pietro arrived on the first floor of the barn bookstore on time, still covered in rain and leaving a string of water marks on the wooden stairs.

He wiped off the rainwater from his forehead, and said brokenly: "I went back and searched all over the school, but I didn't see the professor. Kurt told me that the professor went to visit a friend. It's really great. We can go to school first. Hey Jinx, why are you holding a record, when did the bookstore sell records?"

Jinx silently waited for him to finish reading, then pointed to the man sitting behind him: "This gentleman sold it to me."

"Huh?" Pietro then noticed that he and Jinx were not the only two people on the first floor of the bookstore. He turned his head to see the person who sold Jinx's records, but after just one glance, he froze. In situ.

The man in the wheelchair gently stroked the tabby cat on his lap, raised his eyebrows at him, his blue eyes were as mysterious as the deep sea.

The author has something to say: The professor is here, let's mourn Kuaiyin for three seconds.

There is really a Baldwin Barn Bookstore in West Chester, the most literary second-hand bookstore, converted from a barn, there is really a cat in it, the owner is William Baldwin, of course, he is not a mutant =L=

The phonograph is playing Prince's classic rock song "PurpleRain", not to say that other songs are not as classic as "PurpleRain", I also like the song "Iwantyouback" that Redbone and MJ sang when they were young, but compared to the golden song that Star Lord gave her Amway , Jinx still prefers this song.
