Chapter 189 Different World Lines?

"You said you saw another you in the mirror?"

In the evening, Kevin lay on the bed with Annie in his arms. After listening to her talk about what happened during the day, he frowned and asked.

Anne recalled what she saw in the mirror this afternoon and said in a daze:

"I...I don't know. I'm actually not sure. The main thing is that the image of me in the mirror is...too...too..."

"Too...what?"

"...The clothes she wore were too revealing. The hero uniform she was wearing was completely different from mine. It was like...like a school swimsuit. Can you understand? When I looked at her, I felt like I was looking at someone getting ready to go to a nightclub. Call girl…”

"..."

"And she was in a bad mood. I could tell that she was sad, and I was just as sad. Her makeup was a little smudged..."

Annie was trying her best to organize her words to tell Kevin.

The other self she saw in the mirror this afternoon did not make Anne feel scared. On the contrary, she felt a little sympathy for that other self.

She didn't know what she had experienced in the mirror, but Anne knew herself and knew very well that she was sad in the mirror.

Anne didn't know whether it was a hallucination caused by her mother coming to find her and her mood swings, or whether there really was another her.

That's why she mentioned it to Kevin.

Kevin is a time traveler, he might know something.

But unfortunately, Kevin failed to answer her questions.

"Don't think so much. You've just been too tired recently. Things about your mother, Donna, have made you irritable and that's why you're hallucinating... I'll find time to talk to your mother."

"No, no need. My mother...she is a very snobbish person. I know it seems too much to say this, but it is the truth. I don't want her to misunderstand anything because of you."

"But that is your mother after all, Anne. Although I don't like Storm, I agree with what she said. The relationship between mother and daughter should not be so stiff."

Kevin hugged Anne, ran his fingers through her long hair, and stroked her cheek.

In fact, if Anne could really make up her mind to break off relations with Donna, Kevin would help her and make sure Donna could never find her.

But Kevin could see that Anne still loved her mother. She just couldn't accept what her mother did to her and what she hid from her for a while.

After all, Anne grew up with her mother after her father left.

For Anne, the closest person is her mother Donna.

How can a moment of anger and leaving be compared to the feelings of so many years.

It won't take long for Anne to figure it out and reconcile with Donna, so Kevin decided to talk to Donna.

In addition to helping the relationship between mother and daughter to reconcile as soon as possible, he also wanted to meet his nominal mother-in-law.

Because of the mention of Donna, Anne no longer thought about the other her she met this afternoon.

And Anne also knew that if Kevin really understood something, he would definitely tell her. Since Kevin didn't say it now, it meant that Kevin didn't know about it, or... he needed to hide it from her.

Anne has always been a very obedient girl in front of Kevin. She never asks questions about unnecessary things.

The conversation ends here for the time being. Anne soon falls asleep in Kevin's company.

But Kevin did not fall asleep. He was still thinking about what Anne said.

The other Anne saw was obviously the Anne in the original world line who was forced by the Water Group to change into a new work uniform and do those "social" and "entertainment" jobs.

In this world line, Kevin protected Anne and did not let her come into contact with the dark side of the world, nor did he let Water change Anne's new uniform, so Anne could not know the original appearance of the uniform.

In other words, it was not Anne's hallucination at all.

She really saw another version of herself.

But how is this possible?

Kevin, who traveled to the Marvel world, of course knew that the world he was in now was a multiverse composed of different universes.

At least that was the case in the Marvel world.

There were countless universes in the "What If" world alone, and the world of "Logan 3" that Kevin visited later was divided into several different timelines.

So it was normal for the Black Robe World to have different world lines.

If the original world line was called World Line A, and the world line where Kevin was located was called World Line B, then the branch among them was whether the deep sea was traveled through and whether those disgusting things were done to Annie.

Kevin in World Line B protected Annie and made this world look completely different from the original.

World Line A still maintained the original plot, and Annie there was still forced to change into the very tempting hero uniform as in the original book.

Normally, the two world lines should not intersect at all.

They were like two parallel lines that never intersected and would not affect each other.

But now, Annie saw herself in World Line A.

What was the reason?

Because I often travel through time, has the Black Robe world also undergone some changes?

Are the multiverses belonging to the Black Robe colliding and blending with each other?

Kevin didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but he had seen "Loki" and understood the setting of the world line by the Time Administration.

If the timeline of the Black Robe world also follows the laws of the Time Administration, what will happen when the timeline is affected and begins to expand infinitely?

"Damn, it seems that I have to go back to the Marvel world and ask the Time Administration about the situation."

What Annie saw gave Kevin a sense of crisis.

He was very worried that the world would undergo some bad changes due to his existence, so he decided to go to the Time Administration to take a look.

But the problem is that Kevin doesn't know what stage the Time Management Bureau of Marvel World is in now.

"…If not, you can ask Master Ancient One."

Let's not talk about the Time Management Bureau for now. There is also an Ancient One who studies time. If you can't find the Time Management Bureau, you can go to Ancient One to make do.

It's just that Ancient One is always trying to trick Kevin into becoming the Supreme Sorcerer, which makes Kevin a little bit unbearable, so he is a little bit resistant to meeting Ancient One.

And returning to the Marvel World requires skill points. Kevin has only accumulated four skill points in these days.

It's just enough to pay for the "crossing ticket" to the Marvel World.

He still wants to save the skill points for the second transfer!

Don't rush the Marvel World. Besides, Annie's vision of her in World Line A may just be an occasional hallucination.

Just like someone suddenly feels that some experiences are familiar, that may be the result of connecting with the consciousness of the parallel world.

Occasionally coming here once or twice is nothing.

It's not too late to go back to the Marvel World to find someone to clarify the situation after more times.

Anyway, the time in the black robe world can be paused.

But having said that, some things that need to be done can be put on the agenda.

At least before things become troublesome, all the unstable factors that need to be dealt with should be dealt with.

While Anne was still sleeping soundly and he couldn't sleep because of thinking about Anne, Kevin simply put on a bathrobe and went to the living room to call Butcher's black robe team.

A few days ago, Kevin gave Valerie Hunter's contact information to the black robe team and asked them to start investigating the active free women in the 1970s and try to find out the black material of Storm.

I believe they have found what they want to find.

And now, it's time for them to take the next step.

……

"So Storm is an old lady who is at least 70 or 80 years old?"

The Black Robe Team, who knew Storm's real age from the victim, was still a little unbelievable about the information they had investigated.

Huey felt even more strange. If Storm was really that old, then according to her qualifications, Storm's position in Water should not be low.

But why had they never heard of this person before?

Or was Storm only responsible for heroic activities?

"Obviously." Butcher threw the information obtained from the investigation on the table and said to everyone:

"Our current president of Water doesn't like Storm, and he can't control Storm, so he asked us to investigate this old woman who has lived for who knows how many years.

"And now what we have to do is to find a way to investigate more, pull out Storm's tail, and make her disappear from the world completely. "

"But we don't seem to have any other clues. "

Frankie said.

These are the only clues they found about Storm, and the victim named Valerie only knew these.

Even if they knew that Storm was a free woman, it seemed useless. This piece of information alone seemed not enough to bring down Storm.

Not to mention the Seven.

Boucher's mouth curled up, and he said confidently:

"Don't worry, it won't be long before our boss will assign us new tasks."

Boucher can now see that Kevin's idea of ​​dealing with the Seven is true and correct, and they stand on the same front on this point.

Therefore, Butcher is willing to help Kevin, and he also knows that Kevin will definitely arrange him to do the next step.

Although he was following orders from a superhuman being, the president of the Vought Group, Butcher was a little unhappy.

But Bucher doesn't care about the details as long as he can achieve his goal.

Regardless of the process, as long as the result can kill the people of the motherland, Bucher is willing to give his life.

Butcher's guess about Kevin was correct. Not long after he finished speaking, the single-line mobile phone placed on the table vibrated.

Kevin called him.

"Hey, boss, if you don't call us, we'll really have no work to do."

After getting on the phone, Butcher said something to Kevin half-jokingly.

"I think you have probably completed my request now, so...I will tell you what to do next."

"Please say."

"Does the congregation church know?"

"Probably heard of it."

"Storm was once a member there. Many years ago, there was information about Storm within the Jizhong Church. As long as you get that information, you can defeat Storm."

Kevin told the black robe team about the gathering church.

Butcher narrowed his eyes slightly. He wrote down the names of the churches and their contact information, and then asked Kevin:

"Just deal with the storm? Where are the people of the motherland?"

"Don't worry, we have to eat one bite at a time, and we have to walk step by step. Let's deal with the storm first, and then deal with the people of the motherland. We have plenty of time."

Kevin said meaningfully, and then said:

"By the way, if you want to get the information about the Church of the Congregation, you need to make a little 'sacrifice'. If you have time tomorrow, let Huey go to Godokin University to meet me."

After a final word with Butcher, Kevin hung up the phone.
