Chapter 667 Investigation
Taking advantage of the night, an Impala drove out of the motel quickly.

The innkeeper was watching this scene from the window with a strange look on his face. He didn't understand where the car came from, and he couldn't figure out where the two men who walked out of his hotel came from, because he didn't see them enter at all.

On the highway, Dean was holding the steering wheel, feeling very excited.

"To be honest, when Zhang Ye told me that he could make a one-to-one copy of my treasure in this world, I thought he was bragging. I never expected that this would be true."

"With his strength, let alone copying your car, even copying the Pentagon wouldn't be a problem. It's just right, you can drive the car back after this matter 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 already 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. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about this world. What useful clues have you found here?"

"Uh, let me see." Sam took out his notebook and some messy information, which were all things he had sorted out before.

"This 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's all you care about."

"Of course not, but I must better understand the difference between this world and the one we remember. After all, the case we are responsible for this time does not have victims and suspects. In other words, everyone living here is a victim, and they are also suspects."

“It’s a dystopian world.”

Sam paused and took out a comic book. "Look at these. This world also has comics about the X-Men. I looked into 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.

"Do you remember the information that the old Wolverine told us before? Before Polaris, Flashing, 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 have the impression that the woman is a 'local', and those children should be mutant clones secretly created by the Essex Group 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?" Dean held onto the steering wheel. "Zhang Ye specifically mentioned this to us. Those kids are in a very dangerous situation right now. Many people are watching them, including 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 rummaged through his package, and soon he took out a somewhat tattered comic book from it, turned to one of the pages, and placed it in front of Dean.

"Look at this."

Hearing this, Dean looked at the highway in front of him and glanced at the pattern on the comic with his peripheral vision.

The comics only describe the X-Men searching for a lost city. The leader is even Wolverine himself, but in the comics he is wearing the classic yellow suit.

"What's the problem?" Dean asked, puzzled.

"Look at the coordinates. The comic gives the coordinates of this city." Sam prompted, then directly stated his discovery. "These coordinates are exactly the same as the coordinates that woman gave to Logan. In other words, that woman wants Logan to send those children here."

"The coordinates in the comics?!" Dean opened his mouth and took another careful look at the plot in the comics. He found that it was exactly as Sam said. The coordinates here were exactly the same as the longitude and latitude given by the woman in Wolverine's mouth.

"Are you crazy? Sending a group of children to the coordinates marked in a cartoon. They don't even know what is there."

"I also find it hard to understand that woman's motives, so I think we can start the investigation from this aspect." Sam carefully put the comic back into his bag.

"Do you know where that woman is?" Dean asked.

"Her location keeps changing, probably to avoid being hunted down, but she seems to trust Wolverine very much and has been trying to contact him, 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 its engine, and disappeared into the night in a short while.

Since they were both in the southern United States, it didn't take the two of them too long to reach their target location.

As the sun rose, Dean and Sam finally arrived at this small town in the far suburbs of Mississippi as they wished.

Unlike other cities that experienced the Renaissance in the 1990s, this small city, although backward, still maintains a relatively peaceful lifestyle.

At the restaurant door, Dean took a big bite of the burger in one hand, and with the other hand he held a bag of packaged burgers and handed it to Sam inside through the car window.

"Oh Sammy, you can never imagine how delicious the burgers here are. My God, why can my stomach only hold such a small thing? I also want to try the pie here." Dean opened the car door with a very excited expression.

But Sam was already used to this. Apart from his younger brother, few people knew that Dean was such a big foodie.

Not to mention in this different world, even in the original world, every time Dean arrived at a place, he would be attracted by the local food, but Sam himself could not understand Dean's behavior.

Seeing that Sam ignored him, Dean sat in the driver's seat, closed the door, and asked.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

"I re-checked some of the plots in the comics, and I found that there are still many details that don't match. For example, in the comics, there is no Essex Group, but there is Mr. Sinister." Sam looked through the comics carefully with a frown.

"Mr. Sinister, you are the mastermind behind the Essex Group, right?" Dean chewed his burger and his expression became more serious.

"Yes, and he's a human who used special powers to become a superhuman. I looked at the plot in the comics. Although the origin is the same, the name has been changed." Sam explained.

Dean nodded thoughtfully. "It's not strange. Not every world has a Chuck. The people who draw these comics are probably ordinary people. They just draw from the lives of the X-Men, not like the Prophet, drawing the experiences of those mutants."

"I thought so too. Zhang Ye once said that Mister Sinister was behind the Essex Group in this world. However, this guy seems to be just an ordinary genetics professor, not a superhuman like in the comics. I guess there is no connection between the two of them."

"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 truthfully.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Dean swallowed the burger and prepared to start the car with great interest.

But Sam put down the comic in his hand and took out a hamburger and French fries from the bag.

"I haven't eaten yet."
