I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 107 Sister Laurie's Suggestion (temporarily added, thank you for your support)

At [-]:[-] a.m. on the second day, "Ho's Tea Restaurant" on Zhongmen Street in Lower Gotham City, China Basin.

In the private room by the window on the second floor, Harry and Laurie sat opposite each other.

Harley vigorously stirred the hot dry noodles with chopsticks, mixing the sesame paste, beef cubes, capers and noodles evenly.

Laurie skillfully held the chopsticks, picked up a soup bag and put it in the vinegar dish.

"You're not in a good mood, your skin is dark, your eyes are bloodshot, and your eye sockets have faint eye shadow. Did you stay up late last night?" Laurie asked with a frown.

"Didn't stay up late, but I did not sleep well." Harry yawned, his eyes a little gloomy.

She was pretty much sure that something was wrong with her.

Like the night before, last night she felt a chill spreading from the soles of her feet.

She even woke up from an uneasy sleep.

Just because she felt that someone was standing by the bed staring at her.

Before five o'clock the next day, she woke up tired.

Same as the day before yesterday, her feet and calves were slightly bruised.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the blackness seems to spread a little bit upwards.

She decided to record it with a ruler.

After waking up, she lay on the single bed she had just bought, looking at the cabin with her eyes wide open. She was very tired, but she couldn't fall asleep, and she also had a slight fear of going to sleep.

She dared not sleep, she was afraid.

But she had no idea what to be afraid of.

After spending half an hour in a daze, she began to meditate with the tantric meditation method that Judith had learned.

It has a little effect on restoring mental strength.

Wait for her to run 8 kilometers along the coastline, and the effect will be even better.

She was sweating all over, her bruises faded, and her spirit recovered a bit, but the pressure in her heart made her in a very bad state.

"Have a nightmare?" Laurie's eyes softened, and he sighed, "It's only now that I think about it, you are only 14 years old, two years younger than my daughter. The experience these days is too heavy for you."

"I didn't have a nightmare. Uh, I had a nightmare, but it wasn't what you thought." Harry waved his empty left hand subconsciously a few times, thinking: "When I was sleeping for the past two days, I always felt that someone was staring at me. Even when I was wearing the blanket, my legs and feet felt cold, and when I woke up the next morning, my calf was black and blue."

"I see." The expression on Laurie's face became more and more kind.

"Do you understand?" Harry was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What happened to me?"

"Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or Stress Disorder, that's what it is anyway, you kill too many people, you go through too much darkness, something goes wrong with your mind, and it affects your body, I've seen too many things like that Case." Laurie said confidently.

Harry rolled his eyes and said, "I think it should be the power of magic."

Hearing the word "magic", Laurie immediately became serious, "Are you practicing black magic?"

Harry hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I got a copy of "Grimoire of Truth" from a netizen."

"If I advise you not to touch those damn things again, will you listen?" Laurie looked at her solemnly and said.

Harry shook his head lightly, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to return to the ordinary when you come into contact with mystery."

Laurie sighed, "I knew it would."

"I can't help you with magic, because I'm completely a Muggle. But you must remember, don't lose your humanity for the sake of power." She said solemnly.

A warm feeling rose in Harry's heart, and he said with a smile: "If I said that I am practicing magic in heaven, would you still be worried?"

Laurie shook his head, "Unfortunately you are not."

"I'm not, but I swear to you, at least based on your values ​​and the values ​​of the general public, I'm not on the wrong path." Harry stared into her eyes with an unprecedented seriousness.

Taking refuge in God and becoming a spy of heaven in the devil, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is not only on the right track, but also qualified to be a saint like St. Peter.

Laurie stared at her for a moment, then smiled and said briskly, "It seems that you still have a lot of secrets. OK, I believe you."

"Thank you." Harry was a little moved.

"Okay, now that we've finished the gossip, let's talk about business." Laurie restrained his smile and said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't be playing the video of Marvin's debauchery."

"I have to prove myself," Harry said.

"Prove what?" Laurie sneered, "Prove that you didn't use the laser precise positioning system designed by Daniel?"

"Uh" Harry was a little embarrassed.

Posing can deceive others, because others can't imagine that an ordinary wanted criminal has a high-tech airship.

But obviously, Laurie, who sent her the airship, couldn't be fooled.

"Sister, you forgot, you taught me to do this." Harry said.

"I" Now it's Laurie's turn to be embarrassed.

On Christmas night, she did pour Harley a big bowl of self-reliant, heroic "Chili Oil Chicken Soup," the kind that hits the head when you drink it.

In fact, she was hinting to Harry at the time: Show your strength to the Crusaders so that they don't dare to treat you like an ant anymore.

The Overwatch has countless enemies, and there are countless organizations and countries whose strength exceeds that of the Crusaders, but have they ever been afraid?
Well, with Dr. Manhattan covering her, Sister Laurie is really fearless.

"I didn't ask you to use the Vulcan cannon to carry out a massacre, so why not just kill the mastermind?" Laurie sighed.

"You also watched TV last night, did I have other options?" Harry said helplessly.

Laurie waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm not here to judge you, you have to bear the consequences for what you did.

I'm looking for you today for two things.

First, cooperate with me to minimize the impact of the demon video; second, are you willing to resolve the grudge with the Crusaders?I can help you be a peacemaker. "

"Did you know about demons before?" Harry asked curiously.

"Heard some rumors, this is the first time I actually saw a demon." After a pause, Laurie asked, "You recorded almost the whole process last night. Have you ever seen the Shadow Bureau agents who deal with supernatural events?"

Harry nodded, "I'm about to ask you about it."

"The agents of the Shadow Bureau are composed of monsters that are not seen by the church, but they are still obedient. For decades, they have been helping the US government to deal with superhuman supernatural events.

The reason why news of demons and hell is being suppressed is because the Shadow Bureau has recently caught several evil mages from the 'Sorcerer'.

They seem to want to awaken a great demon king from hell through human's belief in darkness. "

Laurie had a strange expression, as if he didn't quite believe it.

Harry also had a strange expression on his face. He didn't expect to hear about the wizard group and the giant beast so soon.

"Even if there is no great demon king, the government will try its best to conceal the dark supernatural events just for the sake of a more stable society.

Look at yourself, you were a Muggle a few months ago, you only found a black magic book on the Internet, and you committed a heinous crime in the cathedral.

Others discover the truth about demons and black magic, and don't they follow suit?
Especially those college students who are very curious.

There are many cults in the United States, and almost every university has Satan worship meetings, and cool rituals are held regularly. sighed Laurie.

"I can't hide it now," Harry said.

"Yes, a large number of experts and professors are on their way. They will prove from various aspects that the red liquid Marvin drank is not demon blood, but a biochemical agent from a certain laboratory."

Harry was dumbfounded, "So, there are no demons, it's just a biohazard?"

Laurie nodded and said, "A biological laboratory under Wayne will be declared responsible for this matter.

With Wayne's reputation and skills, it should be very convincing.

In fact, they did have a lot of shady biochemical experiments, which were no less terrifying than demons.

I don't expect to deceive everyone, as long as ordinary people are skeptical.Anyway, better done than not done, right? "

"Let Wayne take the blame, Bruce agrees?"

"Bruce?" Laurie froze for a moment before realizing who he was.

"He's still a child, what can he do?" She laughed.

"He's no ordinary kid," said Harry.

Laurie shrugged noncommittally.

Harry sighed and changed the subject, "Is there any possibility of reconciliation between me and the Crusaders? You want to be a peacemaker, what do you plan to do?"

"Harry, do you know that you hold two trump cards?" Laurie laughed.

"That box of video tapes can discredit the Church and the Crusaders, keep countless dignitaries up at night, and then force the Crusaders to make peace with me. It's a trump card, what else?" Harry asked curiously.

Laurie pointed to himself and said triumphantly, "None of them would have imagined that I would firmly stand by your side."

Harry laughed awkwardly: "You didn't seem to be able to help much before."

She couldn't go on, and Miss Laurie stiffened her face.

"Without me, the president and the Pentagon would hold their noses and stand on the side of the crusaders; without me, Loeb would convince the governor to mobilize the guards to suppress you; without me, you would have become an internationally wanted criminal; without me, you are in the current situation It will be ten times harder." Laurie said coldly.

"I apologize!" Harry folded his hands together, and said with a smile, "I haven't graduated from high school yet, so I have little knowledge, short-sightedness, and didn't consider the reaction of the state government, the government, and the White House."

Laurie said lightly: "Without me, even if the Crusaders took the initiative to reconcile with you, would you dare to believe it?

With me in the FBI, once there is any change in the Crusaders—the U.S. Department of Information Technology has listed the leadership of the Crusaders as a key monitoring target. Once they take any action. For example, a certain Crusader enters the United States. I will know immediately, and then To tip you off.

Without me, they would detain you and even rob you when negotiating with you, and those tapes would be useless.

With me here, you don't have to come forward in person at all, and you don't have to worry about the US government helping the Crusaders in the negotiations. "

"I was planning to run away." Harry sighed.

She can basically trust Laurie, but she is not sure whether Laurie can control the overall situation as she said.

Laurie was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why do you think I didn't bring my family to live in seclusion, but instead joined the FBI to work for the government?"

"You have great ambitions, and your ambitions have not faded." Harry said.

Laurie shook his head with a wry smile, and said sadly: "After the 'Alien Octopus' incident in 85, except for Adrian Vetter (Pharaoh), all of us, including Joan, lost any ambition.

The reason why you don't live in seclusion is because you can't live in seclusion at all.

Daniel and I have lived in seclusion since 85, and we always thought we were living in seclusion until 92, when the FBI came to my house in a hurry and took me to the White House in a hurry (ps).

The President yelled at me almost hysterically - Where the hell is the Wittner bastard?

You know, as a housewife for almost ten years, I was so scared that I wanted to cry.

I stammered that I didn't know anything.

I really don't know what happened.

The President said—shit, the FBI has been watching you for seven years, and Werther called you three times in those seven years. "

She looked at Harry and said strangely, "Can you understand how I felt at that time?"

"Uh, you must be shocked." Harry laughed dryly.

"No, I'm afraid from the bottom of my soul. My husband is so fat that he can't even catch up with the family dog. My daughter is only three years old. I haven't touched a gun for many years. But the reality is that we can only be slaughtered."

　(ps: In 92, Rorschach's diary was discovered. The US government and government knew that the "alien" octopus that slaughtered 85 million people in 350 came from the pharaoh. The pharaoh immediately ran away and disappeared without a trace. So The White House will be shocked and angry, and sneak out the reclusive Lowry family.)
