"So, Merlin, are you actually on a national trip?"

At Henry's house, a little cramped Merlin was invited to sit in the dining room.

Henry's wife Nora, the humble, chubby lady served a simple breakfast for Merlin. The soft soft bread and the aroma of the fried ham made Merlin unable to move. throat.

After a month of Dianpei's displacement, he slept for another 18 hours, and he urgently needed something to relieve his mood and a little uncomfortable stomach.

"Yes, ma'am. I set off from Madison and passed Chicago all the way. After arriving in Central City, I was stolen to salute. If it were not for the help of two of you kind people, I'm afraid I would sleep on the street."

After finishing this terrible lie, Merlin felt awkward for a while.

But it is necessary.

Your own real situation is better understood by others.

Any mortal who has a relationship with the devil, the result is not so good.

"Yeah, the recent security in Central City has also deteriorated, which is really worrying."

Henry, who was sitting next to Merlin, also picked up a piece of bread, spreading jam, and said to his wife with a little disappointment:

"Last week, there were thieves robbing things on the street, West told me that they were preparing for a big search, but that would not change the fundamental problem. If the city’s economy is as good as the Star City next to us, such a thing It won't happen."

"You know I'm not asking this!"

Nora glared at her husband. The lady was hesitant, but she finally sat at the dining table. She looked at Merlin, especially the odd eyes. She asked:

"Merlin, I'll ask directly, your eyes..."

"Oh, this one."

Merlin hesitated and replied softly:

"I am a mutant."

This answer suddenly made the Allen and his wife widen their eyes, but their doubts and curiosity were also much less.

Although the legend of mutants has always been regarded as a kind of "urban strange talk" and spread widely, but to be honest, people with a little knowledge know that mutants are a normal social phenomenon.

In today's 1989, mutants are not as mysterious as they once were.

Mutants exist in every city in the world, and even in New York there is a legendary academy that is only open for mutants. Although most of the mutants are solitary and avoiding the world, their existence is currently acquiesced by countries and has become part of the actual order of the world.

Of course, in those urban legends, the variety of people’s strange abilities and their mysterious origins always make ordinary people feel curious, just like listening to strange stories.

Merlin is certainly not a mutant.

In fact, he only had this idea when he chatted with the old man Stan on the train.

In Merlin's view, it is better to say that he is a mutant than to explain his own strange changes due to demons. Anyway, many of the mutants do have a slight difference in appearance from ordinary people because of genetic mutations.

"Then what is your ability? Merlin."

Mrs. Nora asked excitedly, but was jealous of her husband.

Mrs. Nora realized that she was a bit speechless. Many young mutants cannot control their innate abilities well, and often cause a lot of trouble, which is why most of the mutants are lonely.

In fact, it is very rude to ask about his ability in front of a mutant.

But Merlin was not a mutant, so he didn't think that Mrs. Nora's problem was offended. While eating bread, he shrugged and said to the two in front of him:

"It's doom."

"Doom? It's so strange, after all, it's an intangible and intangible thing, not as common as water and flames."

Henry is a doctor. Although he has not treated mutants, he also spent information about mutants at medical university. Merlin's answer made him interested. He put down the juice in his hand and looked at Merlin intently. He said:

"So is it a misfortune, or is it?"

"Much worse than that."

Merlin smiled and said dryly:

"It's doom."

He looked at Henry. He relieved his breath and said frankly:

"My ability is measured in time, but if I stay in a place for 2 hours, my doom will start to affect the people around me. Once more than 6 hours, my doom will start to intensify... But, I don’t know Why, this rule just expired."

Talking, the red light spot in Merlin's eyes jumped a bit. After concentrating, he entered the state of "spiritual sight". He looked at the two people in front of him and the surrounding environment.

Although he has been at the Allen and his wife's home for 18 hours, it is still "spotless". There is no scene of the black invisible fog spreading to every corner on the train.

It seems that the source of doom on him has been "turned off", and he will no longer passively release that unknown power.

But this is not because the Allen couples have some special power, because both of them are ordinary people.

Merlin speculates that the reason for this situation may be that the previous two power bursts made the magic in his body reach a certain "node", which became weak, or that it sensed Merlin’s weakness, so temporarily Stopped the pace of magic erosion.

When the magic erosion stops, it means that the weird spread of doom has also temporarily stopped.

Unfortunately, as Merlin's consciousness revived, that force also started to move back and forth.

Maybe in a few hours, I will return to my previous doomed state.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became strange for a while.

Watching the fire in Merlin's eyes jump, Mrs. Nora was a little scared. Merlin saw the expression of fear, and he hurriedly lowered his head and thrust the last bite of bread into his mouth.

After a moment, he looked up and smiled at the two. He said:

"Okay, thanks for the hospitality of the two, but I should go. I don't want to leave my bad luck at the home of a good person like you."

Seeing that Merlin was leaving, Henry stood up quickly, and he kept:

"No, Merlin, we don't mean anything else. I mean, your waist injury is not good, you better go to my clinic and see it again."

"Actually, I am going to the medical university this year, Mr. Henry."

Merlin smiled and said to Henry:

"My theoretical experience is not as rich as yours, but believe me, this minor injury, I can handle it myself. Besides, for a family that will soon have children, I think that this situation is really not suitable for me. Stay here for a long time."

"???

Hearing Merlin's words, Henry and Nora suddenly opened their eyes, and Mrs. Nora asked in surprise:

"Merlin! How do you know we are about to have children? Henry, did you tell Merlin?"

"No, not me."

Mr. Henry was also surprised.

Merlin realized that his "spirit" saw more things.

Just now, he "sees" that Mrs. Nora has more vitality than ordinary people, which means that this lady is gestating a new life.

He still has too little experience. These things belong to the privacy of others and should not be said.

Merlin pointed to his eyes with apology. He said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Nora, I can "see" something, I shouldn't say it, please forgive me."

"no problem, no problem."

Mrs. Nora responded hurriedly, but to be honest, in the presence of such a eccentric existence, Mrs. Nora still felt some discomfort. The feeling of almost no secret made Mrs. Nora back a few steps. Subconsciously want to stay away from Merlin.

Sensing the embarrassment of his wife, Mr. Henry took off his coat from the hanger, then patted Merlin on the shoulder and said to Merlin:

"Since you insist on leaving, I won't save it anymore. Come on, boy, I will take you to the station."

"No, I don't need it anymore. I can walk by myself."

Merlin refused, but was interrupted by Mr. Henry. The enthusiastic doctor smiled and said:

"Do you know how far it is from the station? Child, let's go, remember to hold your clothes and hat, oh, by the way, the hat is cool. I remember when I was young, I also had the same one."

Thirty minutes later, at Central City Station, Henry parked his car in the parking lot, but did not get off immediately. Instead, he took out his wallet, took out a few US dollars from it, and handed it to Merlin on the co-pilot.

Merlin looked at Mr. Henry's move. He shook his head and refused firmly:

"No, I can't do it!"

"Hold it, boy."

Mr. Henry said in a gentle but unacceptable tone:

"This is not charity! This is to express our apologies."

"Although I know you may not care, but after all, it is because of my wife's behavior that you were injured, you may have your own secrets, and I don't want to ask these, but Merlin... regard this as our sincere apology. Besides, no matter what you want to do, no matter where you want to go, you can’t do without money."

He probably saw the hesitation on Merlin's face. The kind doctor lowered his voice and said to Merlin:

"Listen, every man has a period of embarrassment. When I first graduated from college, it was much worse than you, Merlin. At that time, Nora and I fell in love, but suffered a lot."

"I mean, don't refuse help in good faith. If you feel ashamed of it, wait until you meet someone in need of help. Why not help them."

Mr. Henry's persuasion led Merlin to nod finally. He reached over and took the few dollars. Although it was only a few sheets of paper, it was very important.

Looking at Merlin, Mr. Henry became more and more curious about the child's secret.

But he is a highly educated person, he can restrain his inner desire for the secret of others.

He opened the car door, took Merlin's clothes, and his own bags of old clothes from the trunk and handed them to Merlin. He looked at the child in front of him, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Speaking of that, boy, where do you want to go?"

Merlin could not answer this question, he could only say with a trace of daze:

"I don't know... maybe, maybe it's the next place I want to pass by."

"Uh."

Mr. Henry shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know how to respond to this kind of youthful answer, so he patted Merlin's shoulder and planned to sit back in the car.

The two met together and it was time to say goodbye.

Just as Henry was about to leave, Merlin bent down and lay on Mr. Henry's car window. He tried to smile, and he said to Henry:

"You are a good person, and Mr. Henry, including your wife, is also a really good person. No matter where I am, I will pray for you and your future son."

"?"

Henry turned his head and looked at Merlin in disbelief. He said:

"What are you talking about? What is mine? Son? You mean, I will have a son? You see? You can see, right?"

"Say the wrong thing again."

Merlin really wanted to slap himself, but when he saw the surprised expression of Mr. Henry, he nodded and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Mr. Henry, I didn't mean to..."

"No sorry!"

Henry glanced at Merlin. He really wanted to give this guy a hug. He said:

"Call me Henry, Merlin, this is the best news I heard today... who said you can only bring bad luck? No! You brought me good luck for the day! Hahaha, I want to have Son! This is great!"

"I'm going to give him a name, no no no, Nora and I have already given the child a good name, where is that notebook?"

Henry was going crazy in surprise, he hummed a song while looking for a notebook with the child's name in the car.

The expression immersed in joy made Merlin's mood onlookers couldn't help but become much better. As Stan and Henry said, what he can bring, perhaps really, is not just doom.

"Right! This is it!"

Henry flipped open his notebook in the car and was unsatisfied with finding several names. Until he found his favorite name, he read it word by word:

"Bartholomew Allen, yes, this name. My son, my baby, I will call you, little Barry! Barry Allen!"

"Haha, goodbye, Merlin! I'm going to share this good news with Nora! Good luck with your journey, boy...you will find what you want to find! Don't give up! Come on!"

In a burst of cheers, Henry started the car with a humming song. After waving goodbye, he quickly left the parking lot of the station.

Merlin was carrying the package, he watched Henry leave, and then looked back at the station behind him. Under the sunlight, Merlin put on sunglasses and a cowboy hat. In this month, his mood has never been so relaxed.

"Barry... Little Barry?"

"What a good name."

"Barry Allen, lucky little guy, wish you a perfect life."
