"Ade... Ryder...? ”

Before pushing open this damn iron door, West never imagined that one day he would be shouting the name to a particular subject.

He looked at the young figure in disbelief. Whether it is age, appearance, breath, or the frequency of the brain waves that occasionally leak out, it is clear that it is indeed the girl who was sunk to the bottom of the lake by his own hands twenty years ago. But in West's memory, she should have died a long time ago under his ability...... Why, after 20 years, will it appear in front of me again with the same appearance as it was back then?

“…… Is that you, Alay? ”

A low whimper unconsciously came out of his throat, like a wounded beast, and West only felt that he was about to go crazy.

There was no answer, and it was not even certain whether he had heard the boy's call. The blue-eyed girl raised her head indifferently, her expression empty, as if she had blocked out a qiē reaction to the outside world. After being sealed by Dr. Yi for twenty years, he was finally awakened from his slumber, and now, all that remains in that body may be the instructions and instincts that have been artificially injected.

Raising his hand, he couldn't see what she had done, but both West and Bond felt a darkening of their eyes at the same time. As if encased in a confined space, the sounds, lights, shadows, smells, and even intuition from the outside world are all cut off from the senses. Under the influence of the power, the whole world seems to become silent, as if it were eternally still, and it is impossible to feel that one is still alive or not.

-- Deprivation of the five senses.

It's no longer familiar with the suffocation that this ability brings, and at the same time, it further confirms the girl's identity as he expected. West's face sank, although he was almost crazy by the impact of this fact, but after hearing the painful snort of 007 beside him, he instinctively used his ability to prop up a mental barrier for the two of them, so as to isolate Adelaide's ability and prevent them from being slaughtered by others because of the loss of their five senses.

Turning his head, he found that Bond, after shooting a bullet at the girl in vain, was lifted out of thin air, thrown against the wall, and fell into a large pile of tables and chairs. West took two steps back, quickly flipping over to the abandoned console to hide his figure—Adelaide's abilities only worked when the other party appeared in her sight. And in the case that the other party can shield his own telepathy, and the ability attribute completely restrains him, it is certainly not a wise choice to directly engage in hand-to-hand combat.

What's more, there is the shadow of killing his beloved by mistake twenty years ago, and if the current West faces Adelaide and treats her as an enemy, he really can't do it.

But just because he couldn't do it didn't mean he was free from the pain that almost crushed him.

“Cat！！”

As Bond's shocked voice slammed into his ears along with the roar of tearing the air behind him, West was pointing his finger in front of him, trying to lock on to the girl's position with the airflow. However, before he could react, he felt as if the control platform behind him had been cut off by something, and the whistling wind hit with sharp pain that penetrated into the bones. If it weren't for the boy's instinct to duck to the side at the last moment, he would have been split in half by now, like that pitiful pile of metal shards.

"Ahem......"

I accidentally inhaled the dust that had accumulated in the air for more than ten years, and I choked and felt that my shirt was getting wet with blood from the wound on my back. West raised his head in pain, and found that Adelaide was floating in mid-air at this time, a pair of metal wings more than a meter long slowly spreading, fanning out extremely sharp wind blades, which were the culprits who almost killed him.

"I should have thought of ......"

With a slightly wry smile, West staggered to his feet on his knees. As a natural mutant, Adelaide's deprivation of the five senses is absolutely unmatched, so powerful that even West's ability to bow to the wind. And with such a completely restrained being, according to Elizhe's madness, how could he not continue to transplant her with other abilities, thus turning her into the most terrible weapon of murder?

Moreover, deliberately leading her here so that he could see Alai who was still alive, his fighting spirit would disappear immediately, and he was already distraught because of Charles...... Elizhe may have really made up his mind this time, and he must die here.

Because of the massive blood loss, I gradually felt a trace of coldness, and the spiritual barrier that was constantly impacted began to wear away little by little. Looking at Adelaide's empty eyes, he was as dazed and desperate as he had died in his arms twenty years ago. West slowly closed his eyes, letting the sharp metal of the girl's wings align with his chest, and by this time, he felt a sense of relief more than ever.

- If this life is destined to be in the hands of Adelaide, to pay off all the debts of the past...... He was indeed willing to have such a fate.

'Bond. ’

Connect 007's consciousness with the last of his strength, and at the same time control the air flow to build a transparent and condensed barrier between him and them. West seemed to smile, slowly opened his arms, and lowered his voice very softly:

'You go quickly. ’

'West!! ’

The roar of the blade piercing through the air came as expected, like the low sound of a dumb bell on the roof of a church praying for the soul's rest. He stood on the edge of the abyss from which he could never recover, recalling the faces of many people, but suddenly felt that there was still a little bit of unwilling regret-

He said that he would bring London desserts to Colin when he returned to school, that he would tie up Eric's bastard home for Charles, and that he would go back to New York so that Tony could have another party as he wanted...... Now, you're going to break your promise, right?

“α。”

A chill with the shadow of death roared, and the sharp metal against his left chest pierced with all it took to pierce him, offering him a bitter eternal sleep. However, it has not been half a point forward for a long time.

At the same time, as the levitating circle that symbolizes the movement of space unfolds around the girl, they all hear a crisp but gloomy call.

West's eyes snapped open.

"The doctor says it's not the time yet."

Stepping out of the levitation circle, he looked mockingly at the wolf Bèi's unbearable West. The 'ghost', still wrapped in a black cloak, said lightly, and held out his hand to the girl.

Nodding, the metal that had hit West's vital point was clinked and scattered all over the ground. Adelaide still had nothing in her eyes, and she folded her wings in mid-air, and landed very habitually in the arms of the ghost who was watching her on the ground.

"Why, you killed her with your own hands twenty years ago, do you still want to act like a coy now?"

Of course, he didn't miss Adelaide's action when she fell, and West instinctively wanted to step forward to catch her. The ghost sneered, and there was indescribable sarcasm in his tone.

"What the hell did you do to Alai?"

Whatever the ghost suddenly appeared to stop Alai, West knew he couldn't possibly take the girl out of his hands today. His eyes were as cold as ice slag, but his expression unconsciously revealed a bit of pain. He watched the girl nestled quietly in the arms of the black-robed boy, with only one indifference from beginning to end, as if she was isolated from the whole world, and nothing could move a soul who had returned from hell.

Half of his foot had already stepped into the levitation circle, but he turned back at his question. Perhaps because he was defeated by the 'hermit' twice in a row, he hated West to the bone marrow, and the corners of the ghost's mouth hidden in the darkness twisted strangely, word by word, and all the words he said were like knives, slashing the already overwhelmed young man all over his body:

"Don't be arrogant, 'Hermit'. She is not your Adelaide at all, but Dr. Yi's most useful pawn and the highest-level transhuman 'α'. ”

"You even have the face to ask what we did to her...... Aren't you the one who left her the deepest and heaviest scars, and even killed her? ”

Holding the girl and turning around, West could fully take in Adelaide's appearance. The ghost laughed viciously, seemingly enjoying the pleasure of tearing the teenager's scar apart layer by layer:

"Xavier, as I once said, we are not fundamentally different. But Dr. Yi can bring me a more perfect evolution, and you can only live in the shadow of Professor X, accused and used by him...... knew that the person who hurt you in that situation back then would be his adoptive father, but he still didn't dare to go back to confront him, but came here to cover up the evidence of his complicity with the enemy...... You're really the most qualified dog to keep by his side! ”

"You don't deserve to have such great power, you don't deserve to make Adelaide pay a qiē, and even, you don't deserve to die at the hands of 'α!!"

"I ......"

As if he had been hit by great pain, crushing his once proud backbone little by little, West's whole body shook dangerously. The laceration wound on his back was still gushing blood, stripping him of all his strength. He clutched the clothes on his chest cowardly, his knuckles whitening with force, but he still couldn't relieve the sharp pain that was so vivid that it was entrenched in blood and bones.

"Take a good look, 'Hermit', and see how much she hates you."

Dismissive of West's despair. The ghost lowered his head and called out to the girl in his arms who seemed to be closing her eyes and recuperating, her eyes filled with a cruelty like a poisonous snake:

"Go, 'α'...... If you don't like the way that person looks at you, never let him see you again. ”

He opened his eyes and nodded slowly. Under West's incredulous gaze, the blue-eyed girl stretched out her hand and pointed at the person in front of her, and without hesitation, she once again activated the ability of five senses deprivation.

With a sneer, he glanced at the boy who had fallen to the ground because the spiritual barrier had been shattered. Without further delay, the ghost tightened his grip on Adelaide's arm and disappeared into the leap of space.

“Cat！”

It was only at this point that he was able to reach West through the disappearing air barrier. 007, who was confused by twenty years of grievances and grievances, hurried over and picked up his companion, who was already covered in blood.

"Are you alright?"

He shook his dizzy head, and his gaze fell somewhere. As if under a stillness spell, the brown-haired boy allowed Bond to stand on his feet, but closed his eyes and never said a word.

Finally, when 007 wondered if he was unconscious from excessive blood loss, West suddenly sighed, and the pain on his face was gone, replaced by an extreme calm that Bond had never seen before, like a pool of stagnant water, no matter how much it was stirred, it could no longer make any waves.

"Next, I may have to trouble you to take me out."

He opened his mouth lightly, as if he was stating an ordinary fact. West slowly opened his eyes, and those eyes that were once as blue as the sea have now become dilapidated, as if they have been covered with a layer of dust, and they can no longer find any love that should be.

"She robbed me of my vision, Bond...... I can't see anything now. ”
