Chapter 112 ["Mind Reader" Professor X]

New York, 1962.

Autumn, pale dusk.

A bar in Brooklyn.

The bar was buzzing.

Although a ball game was being played on television, people were talking passionately about the Cold War between the world's two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States.

Tang Lang walked into the bar and found a window seat to sit down.

He ordered a glass of Scotch whisky and sipped his fine wine as he watched the people come and go through the bar's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Tang Lang has been thrown into this movie world of "X-Men: First Fight" by mysterious people for several days.

With the fluency he learned to speak English during his college years, he quickly became one with the Americans of the movie world.

Tang Lang still came to this movie world naked.

However, he soon made his way to a resident's house, gently and skillfully dressed in a well-fitting suit, cut off his long hair, and took a few hundred dollars from the family as he left.

As a peerless master who had already entered the Shangyuan Realm, Tang Lang knew that he had stepped into the realm of gods, although he was not yet a god, but he already had the "supernatural powers" of "channeling gods".

Tang Lang spent all his time wandering around New York City in 1962, and it was obvious that he was a yellow race, but he walked very calmly between white and black people.

On this day, he went to this bar called "Waste Bird" in Brooklyn, New York City, ordered a glass of Scotch whisky, and passed the time slowly.

Tang Lang's mission in this movie world is to join the X-Men, fight against Magneto's mutant brotherhood, and maintain peace in the world.

Therefore, he must first find and get acquainted with the leader of the X-Men, "Professor X", that is, Charles Francis Ewell.

However, Tang Lang was not in a hurry.

Professor X Charles has powerful telepathic abilities and the ability to control the mind, and he can connect to all the people in the world through the "Brainwave Enhancement Machine", an artifact device, and can distinguish between ordinary people and mutants.

Tang Lang is not a mutant, but he has special abilities and is not an ordinary person, so Professor X can detect his existence through his telepathic ability.

In fact, not long after Tang Lang came to this movie world, he had already felt several times that someone wanted to invade his brain's thinking.

In a panic, he hurriedly picked up the Immovable Heart Seal, shielding the thoughts of those who wanted to invade his brain.

As a result, he turned out to be successful.

Not only does the Immovable Heart Seal reflect attacks from the outside, but it also shields the mind of the "mind reader" from detecting his brain.

Tang Lang believed that if Professor X Charles was secretly invading his brain, then he should be puzzled by the inability to invade, and would come directly to the door.

"Charles, Charles Ewell."

Looking at the street scene of New York, Tang Lang, who was meditating on things, suddenly heard the voice of an American man full of magnetic surnames. He hurried to look at the man.

I saw that the man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, very neatly dressed, but he did not wear a tie, and his two charming eyes radiated the light of wisdom outward, and his face was extremely handsome.

"Hey, buddy, hello."

Tang Lang tried his best to learn the American tone to speak.

Naturally, he spoke in English.

The man called himself "Charles Ewell", and that was Professor X, of course.

As Charles spoke, he sat opposite Tang Lang.

"Lang, Lang, Tang."

Tang Lang introduced himself to Charles.

Americans say first names, then last names. Tang Lang's surname is Tang Minglang, and if he says his name first and then his surname, he is naturally "Lang Tang".

"You don't seem to be from our world."

Charles spoke straight to the point.

Seeing Charles's eyes staring straight at him, Tang Lang smiled slightly, "I'm not from this world, but what world am I from?" ”

Charles smiled when he heard this, he obviously didn't believe what Tang Lang said.

"I'm sure you should know very well in your heart that we are the same kind of people."

Tang Lang listened to Charles's words and knew that he regarded himself as a "mutant" with a genetic mutation. However, he is not a mutant who has unlocked the genetic lock, but an ordinary person who has achieved today's achievement through hard cultivation.

Fortunately, Tang Lang practiced the Immovable Heart Seal, which prevented Charles from entering his brain and reading his thoughts and memories. Therefore, Charles has no way of knowing Tang Lang's details.

"Charles...... I think you're mistaken. You and I are not the same kind of people. ”

Tang Lang was honest and unkind when he spoke.

Charles frowned slightly.

"Lang, you have a special ability, don't you?"

As he spoke, he suddenly snapped his fingers at the waiter at the bar, "A bitter beer." Thank you. ”

"Definitely. I do have powers. Otherwise, your mind would have invaded my brain and taken control of my mind. Isn't it? ”

Tang Lang spoke, looked at Charles and smiled.

Charles couldn't help laughing when he saw Tang Langxue speaking in his own tone.

The waiter at the bar brought Charles a cup of bitter beer on a tray and placed it on the table in front of the two of them.

Charles pinched his glass and took a sip of beer.

"Are you from Huaxia?"

"Obviously, the color of my skin says it all. I am indeed from Huaxia. ”

"It seems that Huaxia and the United States have not yet established formal diplomatic relations."

-- This was 1962. In 1972, U.S. President Richard Nixon visited China. In 1979, the United States formally established diplomatic relations with Huaxia.

"It's not like," Mr. Tang said, "that diplomatic relations have not been established at all." I'm from Shangoka. I am from Shanggang. ”

"You're a man with powers, and you don't admit you're a mutant. I can't really tell if you're going to pose a certain threat to the security of the United States. ”

Tang Lang listened to Charles's words, and laughed secretly in his heart: This guy really thinks he is the patron saint of the United States. I don't know if he cooperated with the CIA at this time.

"Mr. Ewell, you don't have to act like an enemy at all. I came to the U.S. just for tourism and nothing else. The scenery of your country is full of exotic customs......"

"Can you tell me what abilities you have?"

Charles Ewell's eyes were fixed on Tang Lang.

He seemed to be looking at a mysterious treasure with interest in his eyes.

"I think we'll see each other again in the future. What kind of supernatural abilities I have, you will know when the time comes. ”

Charles smiled helplessly, "Lang, you are like your country, full of mystery. Of course, we Americans like to go straight and don't like to hide and tuck. ”

Tang Lang is indispensable.

Most of his knowledge of Americans came from movies. Although, when he was also in college, he came into contact with several foreigners, and he had a good impression of them.

"Excuse me......"

A blonde woman wearing a light green miniskirt and a dark gray top walked up to the table where Tang Lang and Charles were sitting, and smiled charmingly at the two.

She has a high nose and deep eyes, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, which reminds Tang Lang of a familiar person.

Charles smiled slightly at the blonde beauty, "Ma'am, is there anything I can do for you?" As he spoke, he sat down in again, and gave her a seat.

The blonde beauty sat down next to Charles without hesitation.

"You must be Mr. Charles Francis Ewell, a well-known professor of genetics, right?"

Charles smiled charmingly at the blonde beauty, "Don't say that. I wasn't a big name, but I studied at Oxford University for a few years and got a Ph.D. in genetics, biology and psychology. Although I have the title of professor, I have never taught in a meaningful way. ”

"Mora McTag." The blonde beauty introduced herself and said to Charles and Tang Lang, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Charles laughed, "So, we don't know each other anymore. I thought we knew each other. ”

Maura McTag also smiled, "We didn't know each other before. I'm looking for you to ask you some questions about genetic mutations. I listened to your talk at NYU, and it was wonderful. ”

"Thank you."

As Charles spoke, he suddenly placed the two indexed fingers of his left hand near the temple above his left eye.

Tang Lang knew that Charles was secretly using his abilities to hack into Mora McTag's brain and read her thoughts and memories.

It's all done quietly.

Therefore, Mora McTag, who was talking, did not care, and she thought that Charles was listening to her intently.

In fact, what she was thinking and what she had stored in her mind was completely clear to Charles.

"I'm a ...... working for the political axe"

"I know." Before Charles could finish speaking, he answered.

Mora glanced at Charles in surprise, "You know me?" ”

Charles hurriedly covered up, "Uh...... I can already guess that you work in the political axe department by looking at your outfit. ”

Mora glanced at her outfit, "Really?" ”

She clearly didn't believe Charles's words.

“…… I'd like to invite you to come to my place of work and talk to my superiors. Don't know if you have time? Mora said.

"Ah, I have time for the weekends. Don't you know that your superiors work on weekends? ”

"Okay," said Mora, "it's Wednesday, and I can arrange that." ”

Charles said, "Good. ”

Mora looked at Tang Lang curiously again and asked Charles, "Who is this gentleman?" ”

Charles glanced at Tang Lang and said to Mora: "This gentleman is from the Huaxia Kingdom of the Ancient East, and he is a friend of mine. ”
