"If you think 'thinking' is a terrible thing, try to think only one thing, one thing that's absolutely true."
"I love you."
These three seem to be the most powerful spells on Earth or in Asgard, no matter how far away they are. Frost can melt it, and life and death can break through it.
Lee's pupils were still blank, but she felt her nose sore, then her eyelashes were wet, and then tears the size of beans quickly accumulated in her eyes, and a lot rolled down her cheeks.
Bruce Wayne had guessed many of Lee Winter's reactions. She might have reacted at nothing to what he said, or she might have overreacted, or she might have pushed him away as she had been so frightened—but he had no idea that Liwinter would cry.
The girl's tears seemed to be clear and transparent, dripping down her cheeks and on the back of her hand, but they made Bruce Wayne feel hotter than molten slurry. The back of his hand shook unconsciously, but he didn't dare to take it away, so he could only freeze here, watching Li Winter's tears roll down like a broken embankment, which made him a little worried for a while.
The omnipotent Batman didn't know how to face Lee Winter's tears for a while.
He could only wipe away his tears for Li Winter in a little haste and as gently as possible, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm sorry to scare you, we still have a lot of methods, don't be afraid." ”
Don't be afraid.
Li Winter heard this sentence countless times, said it to himself countless times, and even more so many times to comfort others. Maybe it's because of the timing, or maybe it's because of the person who said it, at least at this moment, when Lee Winter heard Bruce Wayne say this, the panic and grievances that had been suppressed in his heart broke out across the board.
Her amber eyes reproduced the brilliance that Bruce Wayne was fascinated by, and what she wanted to carry with her was the girl's earth-shattering cry.
She cried so hard that strange things began to appear in the house and then disappeared, and Bruce Wayne even felt a hurricane hang in the house—but they all disappeared quickly before the catastrophe was done.
Lee Winter wiped the corners of his eyes and cried until he hiccuped, Bruce Wayne thought about it, and his outstretched hand hesitated for a long time before reaching out and gently hugging Lee Winter.
Levint's chin rested on his broad shoulder, and he had been crying deeply for a long time. Bruce Wayne patted her on the back a little awkwardly, trying to soothe her, but it didn't work.
When he was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Li Winter finally realized that her tears had completely wet Bruce Wayne's shirt, she straightened her head, looked at the large puddle of water on his shoulders a little embarrassed, and subconsciously pinched her cuffs and wiped them - of course, to no avail.
She pinched her cuffs and wiped the water stains on Bruce Wayne's shoulders, and cried, "Mr. Wayne, I'm not scared. ”
For Bruce Wayne at this moment, even now Lee Winter's ability has been developed to 100%, it is not as terrible as the earth-shattering cry she just had.
So he immediately said, "I know you're brave. ”
Li Winter wanted to say that she was not intimidated by the phrase "I love you", but she looked at Bruce's serious face and swallowed it back, always feeling that it was a different kind of incongruity to bring up such a topic in front of Bruce Wayne.
…… Although the person who said this is obviously him.
After getting his own sleeve wet as well, Lee Winter gave up on the shoulder to save Bruce Wayne. She sobbed quietly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the huge dark vortex that appeared behind Bruce Wayne at this moment because of her loss of control just now.
She couldn't figure out how it came out, but she didn't think about raising her hand and pinching it to make it disappear quickly. When she finished pinching, she realized that her action was so ambiguous that it exploded, it was like trying to grab Bruce Wayne's ear.
Li Wente blushed slightly and withdrew his hand, but the whole person was still a little confused: "...... Mr. Wayne, why are you here? Wrong! How did you get in! ”
Seeing that Leont stood up and was about to knock on the door and tell Iron Man to let him out quickly, he was so nervous that even his fingers were a little shaking, Bruce Wayne had to stop her by shouting: "I'll help you." ”
He succinctly said, "Teach you other ways to control your own abilities." ”
Li Winter was stunned when she heard this, standing in the midst of a mess that appeared and disappeared, and her expression was actually very cute in Batman's eyes.
The Li Winter in his eyes was full of entanglement, and it took a long time before he said, "...... However, you are not a mutant, what can you teach me, why would Professor X agree? ”
Bruce Wayne was momentarily speechless.
Why would Professor X and Tony Stark agree to let him in?
How could he explain it? It can't be said that he came here with a determination to die, it can't be said that he even moved to erase her memory, it can't be said that he came here with selfish intentions-
Even if he had to face the worst, he wanted to be the last person Li Winter saw was him.
So all he could say was, "Because I'm Batman." ”
This was a lame reason, but to Bruce Wayne's surprise, Lee Winter accepted it without hesitation: "That's right, you're Batman, so it's not surprising." ”
Bruce Wayne couldn't help but laugh, but the growing chaos in the room didn't allow him to think about it anymore, so he looked into Lee Winter's eyes and said, "Winter, as long as you think, your abilities will grow." But there is another way to focus on your mind and identify a harmless truth. ”
Li Wente nodded stunned: "Focus on what?" ”
Bruce Wayne smiled, "As you please." ”
The way he smiled slightly reminded Li Winter of his serious appearance of saying "This is a fact that cannot be distorted", which made her involuntarily lower her eyelashes.
Bruce Wayne took her hand, and it seemed as if he felt the other's sanity and firmness penetrate deep into her heart through the overlapping fingertips.
Li Winter's fingers curled up slightly for a moment, and finally gently shook them back.
Bruce Wayne says that "I love you" is a fact that is unchangeable, and Batman never does something that he is not sure of, and since he thinks he can, that is the best way to do it.
Li Wintert closed his eyes, and the temperature of his palm kept coming.
She couldn't help but think: he loves me.
"—stopped." Natasha, who was staring at the display, breathed a sigh of relief, "98.7%, it's not too late." ”
Captain America was equally relieved, but his brow was still furrowed: "But we don't know how long we can hold out." ”
"It won't take long!"
Professor X left the lab with a thick punch in his hand, his tires moving so fast that Dr. Helen Zhao, who was following him, was a little worried that he would accidentally fall out of his wheelchair.
Fortunately, there was nothing.
Professor X held his materials in his hands and excitedly said, "I found a way!" ”
"Mutant genes protect themselves, and it is a paradox to let Winter control his abilities by making a wish, but it doesn't mean it's impossible!"
Charles Xavier said: "Archimedes' fulcrum theory! ”
"If we don't deny the X gene itself, but use it as a fulcrum——!"
Captain America interrupted Professor X, and he frowned, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. ”
Dr. Helen Zhao glanced at Captain America, and didn't seem to want to explain, but considering that the person she was facing was Captain America, after thinking for a while, she still chose to explain patiently: "Professor Xavier's meaning is very simple. ”
If her mind is compared to the largest system in the world, then all commands must be in accordance with the principles coded by the system to work. However, whether it is 'limiting ability' or 'having conditions for the use of ability', these are in conflict with the most basic system principle of "there is no limit to the use of ability". The second rule conflicts with the basic principle, which is a paradox, so Li Winter cannot give himself the order to block his mind through his own mind. ”
"I understand this, but the professor said that it is possible to achieve ——?"
"You can't negate the basic rules inside the system – but it's not the same with the outside. Creating new rules outside of the rules is a complement, a 'merger', and they can merge and achieve balance without conflict. ”
"What we've been bothering us about is that Miss Winter Lee's power is so domineering that she doesn't have any potions, or mutant abilities, that can be stronger than her current abilities and make new external rules for her."
"In other words, as long as we can find another operating system that is not dissolved by Winter Lee's own system, and can be powerful enough to coexist with it, and use this system to limit her capabilities, we can solve the current dilemma."
Natasha frowned, "As far as I know, even professors can't control Winter's mind, so where are we going to find someone who can give her a new rule." ”
"This is what the professor calls the 'possibility of achieving paradoxes.'"
"Looking back, what if we didn't think of her abilities as the earth and look for ways to destroy it, but instead used her abilities as the fulcrum to use to lift the earth?"
Tony, who looked tired, heard this sentence and keenly grasped what Helen Zhao was trying to say. He turned his head and stared at the brilliant biologist, "What do you mean—"
"That's right." Charles Xavier's blue eyes shone brightly, and he said categorically, "It's like the fulcrum that lifts the earth, according to the lever theory of physics, it only takes a long and strong lever to achieve it - the same is true of the abilities brought by the X gene, through which the abilities of mutants can be infinitely amplified, which is exactly the direction of Straker's research."
But the reverse is also true. It only takes a small limit, still through the increase in her own abilities, and this small limit is enough to pry the 'earth'. ”
Iron Man immediately understood what Professor X meant: "Use her abilities to amplify the external rules!" The new rules can compete with her own - and thus limit her abilities! ”
Charles Xavier affirmed, "That's right, kicker rules. ”
"I would give a hint at the same time as the amplifier was injected that the X gene, stimulated by the amplifier, would be infinite enough to turn her thoughts into reality. My hint only needs to survive in her mind for a second, and under the influence of the genes stimulated by the amplifier, it can be expanded in an instant into a rule that can be defined, and can only be agreed with her abilities - so that the otherwise useless lever - can also be used to lift the earth. ”
