"Sir,
You have a call from Mr. Lawrence,
Do you want to connect? "Meggen's voice sounded in his ear.
"Yes." Bruce leaned against the headboard of the bed,
He didn't do anything,
He seemed to be in a daze.
"Good morning, White Night." Lawrence's voice came from the earpiece. Since the last meeting with Professor X,
Bruce and Lawrence had a lot more communication,
Mainly because Lawrence had told him about the recent situation of the mutants,
And invited him to join Tribute,
This Tribute was obviously not referring to the forum,
Bruce didn't quite understand what Tribute did? Was it an organization like the X-Men or Magneto's Brotherhood? But he wasn't interested in knowing, so he directly refused.
"Hmm." Bruce made a nasal sound to show that he was listening. Even though he directly rejected Lawrence's invitation to join Tribute,
Lawrence's attitude towards him was still quite warm. Bruce understood that there was no gratuitous kindness in the world,
Lawrence must have a purpose, but he was too lazy to explore this. He just waited for Lawrence to tell him directly when he couldn't maintain this warm mask.
"It's a rare leisurely weekend,
The weather is just right,
Isn't it a gift from God that we should enjoy? "
Bruce glanced at the silver-white window. He didn't quite understand what Lawrence meant, "What?"
"I mean,
Can you stop snowing,
Although it's barely winter now, it's still unusual to snow at this time,
Not to mention how close we are to the capital, Washington,
There have already been departments asking me if this abnormal snowfall that covered most of Washington, D.C., and lasted for one day and two nights is related to the mutants. "
"Oh." Bruce replied casually. He didn't pay much attention to this problem,
Ever since he left Hotch's apartment that night, he had been immersed in his depression. He had forgotten that the weather would change according to his mood. To be more precise, it would snow when he was in a bad mood — if he didn't control it. He had only realized this after Hotch rejected him at the hospital. It was probably because he rarely had such violent mood swings.
"What do you mean? This is a serious question … "
"Look out the window." Bruce didn't want to talk nonsense with him and interrupted him directly.
The other side was quiet for a while before Lawrence's voice came, "Oh? It was amazing that the snow had stopped. Then I won't disturb you. If you ask me, I think it's better to go out and play on the weekend. What's the point of staying at home and letting it snow? "
Bruce frowned at his pretentious tone of familiarity. They could only be said to know each other, far from being friends. He was soon reminded of something else. "If I want to install a camera inside a human body, can you do that?" Lawrence's profession would be very helpful.
Sure enough, a brisk voice came from the earpiece. "That's easy. Do you want to install it in a specific part of your body to monitor the situation inside your body? You know I'm a surgeon. Don't worry, my ability is very helpful for my work. Even if you want to install it in your heart, it won't be a problem. "
"I do want to install it in a specific part of my body, but it's just to monitor the situation outside my body." Bruce paused. "I want to install a miniature camera in my eyes." Meggen was of little help to him now, mainly because Meggen didn't know about his condition. She could only use her phone, computer, and other devices to describe Meggen's help to him. But if he had a camera with him, the situation would be very different. For example, if he needed to read a large number of documents, he could just scan them for Meggen to process. Or, if he saw someone, Meggen could compare the person's image with the database to find out the person's identity. She could even compare the medical database and criminal database to quickly find out the person's medical condition or criminal status.
Besides, he always had a hunch that his current peaceful life wouldn't last for long. He wanted to leave behind some records that weren't just in his memory.
But it was unrealistic for him to carry a camera outside his body all the time. He couldn't always hold the camera and record. So, Bruce suddenly thought of installing the camera in his eyes. That way, he could use it as soon as he opened his eyes. And in his opinion, it wasn't impossible.
"Uh … You want to install it in your body?" Lawrence's voice was filled with surprise. "Well, there are cameras as small as millimeters or even micrometers, and it's not difficult to get them. But even if this camera can be installed in your eyes and doesn't affect your vision, how are you going to deal with the series of physical reactions caused by the foreign body entering your body? Let's not talk about other things, your eyes will definitely become inflamed. "
"You don't have to worry about that." Bruce's mutant ability could solve this problem very well.
"Then what about the energy of the camera? It's small in size, so it's destined not to carry much energy. You don't want the thing that you spent so much effort to install in your body to become useless after a while, right? "
Bruce really didn't think of this. He subconsciously used the various magical, xianxia, and technological systems of the reincarnation space to consider the problem. Just like how he didn't think about the energy of the lightsaber at all. In fact, the energy battery used by the lightsaber could be automatically charged when not in use. As long as it wasn't damaged, there was almost no need to worry about the energy problem.
But now, he wasn't in an extremely technologically advanced world. "It's my negligence." With his frequency of use, did he have to do a new surgery every few days and change the camera? This method was terrible.
"Well, if you really want to do this, it's not impossible. I can contact some laboratories. I remember that they used to study miniature cameras that used bioelectricity to work. Maybe I can help a little in this regard."
"Thank you. If there's anything you need me to do, please don't hesitate to ask." Bruce wanted to know what he needed to do.
"No, no, this is just a favor between friends. If you really want to ask, can you come and see Emma? She hasn't seen you for a while and said that she misses you very much. "
'Emma?' Bruce remembered that the girl next door would occasionally come to his house to play on the weekends. Bruce didn't have the talent to play with children at all. At most, they would watch cartoons together and didn't talk much. Emma seemed to like to stay quietly by his side.
The love that Lawrence expressed for his daughter was not fake, but he only made such a small request after doing him a big favor. Bruce didn't think that it would be easy to get a miniature camera that was not available on the market. Could it be that he wanted to do something during the surgery?
Bruce couldn't be blamed for being too cautious and not trusting others. But his experience made him very clear that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Okay, when can the surgery start?" Bruce agreed. This came from his confidence in his own abilities.
"If you want to do it as soon as possible, this afternoon. The location is at my house."
After the call ended, Bruce couldn't help but take a deep breath when he got out of bed. He looked down and saw a few deep cuts on his chest. To be precise, there were nine deep cuts.
The wounds were no longer bleeding. After all, he didn't aim for the vital parts. Moreover, he had cut himself two nights ago. He only applied some disinfectant on the wounds to prevent them from getting infected. The dark red wounds on his chest looked extremely hideous.
He couldn't go out like this. Besides, he needed to be able to protect himself. In this kind of wound, the slightest movement would cause the wounds to tear again, which would affect his combat ability.
Bruce activated his ability and watched the wounds scab and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, the wounds on his chest disappeared. His skin was as smooth as before. Only the newly grown skin was fairer than before.
He changed his clothes and made himself some food that he didn't know if it was breakfast or lunch. He didn't have any appetite at all.
His heart was empty. He didn't even dare to think about what happened the day before.
You know that this is really all your fault.
Bruce shook his head and tried not to think about anything. His gaze paused when he glanced at the table knife on the cupboard. When his heart was covered by extremely low emotions, the pain on his body seemed to be able to alleviate this feeling a little.
He had never noticed this before.
From the psychological knowledge he had learned and often used in his work, he knew exactly what it meant to be in this state. But he was different from those cases because he didn't have the intention to destroy himself. Based on his mutated ability, these wounds wouldn't affect him much. Bruce let himself do what he wanted.
In the afternoon, Bruce came to Lawrence's house and knocked on the door.
"Bruce." He saw Emma running towards him happily. She seemed to want to jump into his arms. The long blonde hair tied behind her back swayed as she ran.
Bruce smiled slightly. The girl's pure and clean smile made him relax. He reached out and was about to catch the girl when he saw the girl stop three steps away from him.
"Why are you so sad? You shouldn't be like this. " There was a bit of complaint in her tone. After saying this, she turned and ran back to the room. "I don't like this Bruce."
What's going on? Bruce was still holding out his hand with a surprised expression.
"Sorry. Emma can feel other people's emotions. " After opening the door, Lawrence, who was standing aside, explained. When he saw Bruce's expression, he said, "It's not what you think. It's just emotions, not thoughts or memories."
"She's still young and can't control her ability freely. She can only passively accept the emotions of people within a certain range. And she's very easily affected by these emotions. She'll laugh when others are happy and cry when others are sad. So I never take her to crowded places. I don't even send her to school. Instead, I let her receive her education at home. People her age have too many emotional changes. "
"But she likes you very much. She said that your emotions are always very calm and unperturbed. Of course, she was a little scared at first, but later she said that you're like the endless but calm sea under the sun. She likes the blue and warm feeling."
"I'm sorry." Bruce didn't know what he was making Emma feel now, but it wasn't a good feeling.
"It's not your fault that it's difficult for a person to control their emotions. So, are you ready? "Lawrence handed him a piece of paper.
Bruce looked at it. It was an introduction about the performance of the miniature camera and some precautions for the surgery. "Anytime." He glanced at the paper and put it aside.
"This way." Lawrence opened a door. Bruce found that there was actually an elevator going down, and there were more than two floors.
