Chapter 667 Investigation
Taking advantage of the night, a black impala drove out of the motel quickly.
The innkeeper looked at this scene from the window with a strange face. He didn't understand where the car came from, and he couldn't figure out where the two men who came out of his hotel came from, because he didn't see them enter at all.
On the highway, Dean held the steering wheel, and the whole person was very excited.
"To be honest, when Zhang Ye told me that he could copy my baby one-to-one in this world, I thought he was bragging. I didn't expect it to be true."
"With his power, let alone copying your car, even copying a Pentagon is not a big deal. It's just right, you can drive this car back after this is over." Sam smiled.
"No." Unexpectedly, Dean refused. "One baby car is enough. My baby is unique in any world."
"You just don't want to leave it to me, right?" Sam rolled his eyes speechlessly.
To be honest, every time Dean was on the verge of death or had died due to various accidents, Sam felt like he had inherited a precious car, but every time Dean came back to life not long after.
Dean laughed and changed the subject directly. "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about this world. What useful clues have you found here?"
"Uh, let me see." Sam took out his notebook, and then some messy information, which were all things he had sorted out before.
"This place is very similar to the X-Men universe we are familiar with, but there are still big differences. For example, this Wolverine is not the actor we are familiar with, and Professor X is also very different."
"What?"
Dean's mouth twitched.
"Don't tell me that this is your only focus."
"Of course not, but I must better understand the difference between this world and our memory. After all, the case we are responsible for this time has no victims and suspects, or it can be said that everyone living here is a victim, and they are also suspects."
"Anti-utopia world."
Sam paused and took out a comic book. "Look at these. This world also has comics about X-Men. I investigated the numbers and plots of these comics and found that they are no different from the comics in our world."
"Is there anything worth investigating?" Dean was a little confused.
"Remember the intelligence that the old Wolverine told us before? Before Polaris, Twinkle and Zhang Ye found him, a woman also found him and hoped that he could send a group of children to a designated location."
"I remember that woman was a 'local', and those children should be mutant clones created by the Essex Group in secret through experiments." Dean replied casually.
"To be precise, they are artificial mutants, but it doesn't matter. These mutant children escaped from the laboratory with the help of some medical staff and are now on the run." Sam nodded.
"So what?" Dean held the steering wheel. "Zhang Ye specifically mentioned this to us. Those children are in a very dangerous situation now. Many people are watching them, including those mutants from other universes. It's better for us not to deal with them."
"That's not my point." Sam shook his head.
Then he quickly searched his package. Not long after, he took out a tattered comic book from it, turned to one of the pages, and placed it in front of Dean.
"Take a look at this."
Hearing this, Dean looked at the highway in front of him and glanced at the pattern on the comic book with his peripheral vision.
The comic book described the scene of the X-Men looking for a lost city. The leader was even Wolverine himself, but he was wearing a classic yellow battle suit in the comic book.
"Any questions?" Dean was a little puzzled.
"Look at the coordinates. The coordinates of this city are given in the comic book." Sam prompted, and then directly stated his discovery. "This coordinate is exactly the same as the coordinates that the woman gave to Logan, which means that the woman hopes Logan will send those children here."
"Coordinates in the comic book?!"
Dean opened his mouth and took a closer look at the plot in the comic book. He found that it was indeed as Sam said. The coordinates on it were exactly the same as the longitude and latitude of the coordinates given by the woman in Wolverine's mouth.
"Are you crazy? Sending a group of children to the coordinates marked in a comic book, they don't even know what's there."
"It's hard for me to understand the woman's motives, so I think we can start the investigation from this aspect." Sam carefully put the comic book back into the bag.
"Do you know the location of that woman?" Dean asked.
"Her location has been changing, probably to avoid being hunted down, but she seems to trust Wolverine very much and has been trying to contact Wolverine, so I found her current location - Mississippi."
Hearing Sam's words, Dean did not answer, but silently stepped on the accelerator.
The next moment, the Impala increased its speed with the roar of the engine, and disappeared into the night after a while.
Since they were both in the southern United States, it didn't take them too long to reach the target location.
As the sun rose, Dean and Sam finally arrived at this small town located in the outskirts of Mississippi.
Unlike other cities that celebrated the Renaissance in the 1990s, this small city still maintains a relatively peaceful life style despite its backwardness.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Dean took a big bite of the burger in one hand, and held a bag of packaged burgers in the other hand, passing it to Sam inside through the car window.
"Oh Sammy, you will never imagine how delicious the burgers here are. Oh my God, why can my stomach only hold so little? I also want to try the pie here." Dean opened the car door, The expression is very rippling.
But Sam has long been accustomed to this. Except for his younger brother, few people know that Dean is an out-and-out big foodie.
Not to mention in this other world, even in the original world, Dean would be attracted by the local food every time he visited a place, and Sam himself could not understand Dean's behavior.
Seeing that Sam ignored him, Dean got into the driver's seat, closed the car door, and asked.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
"I compared some of the plots in the comics again, and I found that there are still many details that don't match up. For example, in the comics, there is no Essex Group at all, but there is Mr. Sinister." Sam He looked through the comics carefully and frowned.
"Mr. Sinister, he's the mastermind behind the Essex Group, right?" Dean chewed his burger and his expression became more serious.
"Yes, and he is a human who uses special powers to become a transcendent. I read the plot in the comics. Although the origin is the same, the name has been changed." Sam explained.
Dean nodded thoughtfully. "It's not surprising that not every world has Chuck. The people who draw these comics should be ordinary people. They just draw materials from the lives of the X-Men, rather than drawing the experiences of those mutants like the Prophets. "
"I think so too. Zhang Ye once said that Mr. Sinister is behind the Essex Group in this world, but this guy seems to be an ordinary genetics professor, not the extraordinary person in the comics. I guess the two of them There is no connection.”
"Where's that woman?" Dean asked again.
"The location has been determined. It's in a poor hotel three blocks away from us." Sam said matter-of-factly.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Dean swallowed his burger and prepared to start the car with great interest.
But Sam put down the comic in his hand and took out the burger and fries from the bag.
"I haven't eaten yet."
