"I'm fine. He's just tired and he'll be back when he's rested. Jean Grey looked at Stormgirl and said, then put the necklace around her neck.

After putting his hands down, he calmly looked at the lake in front of him. The wind ruffled her long hair and wrinkled the calm surface of the lake.

At this time, her heart set off a little ripple like the scattered ripples......

Li Kai's departure has left the entire X-Men team lacking a large part of their combat power.

After all, Scott, who Li Kai disguised, is very powerful in terms of attack ability, field control ability, and fighting protection ability.

Such an all-powerful person is not something that can be replaced casually. So for a period of time after Li Kai left. When the X-Men carry out various missions, not only efficiency, but also injuries become more and more frequent.

It wasn't until the group finally found a reasonable way to fight that the situation was resolved.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

Jean Grey was lying in the middle of the room, holding the necklace around her neck. She'd seen the address more than once.

But she has never made up her mind to find Li Kai. After all, Li Kai's identity is still the destroyer of the world in the final analysis. With such a person, the pressure is just a bit too much.

And just as he was resting, Quicksilver suddenly came to her door. She knocked softly on the door of the room and pulled Jean Grey out of her thoughts.

Get up and open the door. Quicksilver looked at Jean Grey and said, "It's assembled, it's time to go on a mission." ”

"Is it another directive from the president?" To be honest, it was good to accept the superhero thing at first. But after a long time, the feeling of being heavy on my body was not very comfortable.

At least at this time, Jean Grey suddenly felt that Li Kai's departure did not seem to be a wrong choice.

"I guess so. We'll find out in a minute. I'm going to call the others. Go first. With that, he vanished from the door.

Sighed. To be honest, the efficiency of the president's contact with their X-Men seems to have become more frequent during this time. It's as if they belong to the president's full-time subordinates. It's not a good feeling.

But Professor X thinks it's good. He is constantly accumulating the contribution of mutants to humanity. It's just that if the mutants have some kind of problem, they will have the ability to negotiate.

But Jean Grey thought about the information left by Li Kai. She wasn't optimistic about Professor X's approach. In the other world, Professor X's kindness to mankind is definitely not small.

But so what? Isn't it time to clean up? Humans will not recognize the merits of mutants. They're just using mutants. But such a peaceful life without discrimination is not easy to come by. She also didn't want to be broken by her own ideas. So I haven't talked to Professor X about it.

In the midst of her thoughts, she left her room before she walked underground.

"This time it's a rescue mission. Bringing the astronauts back would be considered a success. Raven spoke.

"Astronauts? In other words, is the mission target in space this time? ”

"Yes, yes."

Hearing Kurt's question, Raven nodded. Then look at the others: "Any other questions?" ”

"Hmm~ our planes are capable of breaking through the atmosphere?" Quicksilver's words made Hank want to answer.

Unfortunately, she was interrupted by Raven: "This is not where you have to care. This time the mission was carried out in space. So everyone has to be careful. Nothing else, let's go. ”

After some action, the unexpected happened.

The energy known as the Golden Flame of the Sun rushed into Jean Grey's body as she was exposed to space. On the way back to Earth, Jean Grey sat in her place and opened her eyes, a flash of red light flashing from her eyes.

At the same time, Li Kai, who was lying in the sun outside a manor, also successfully received a prompt.

[Hint: The Phoenix Power host Jean Grey has successfully activated the full Phoenix Power, please obtain the Phoenix Power as soon as possible.] 】

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and from the time he came to this world to the present, the other party had awakened the complete power of the phoenix. It's been nine years.

In this weak mission world, Li Kai's strength has really improved almost nothing in the past nine years.

Without stress, there is no way to grow quickly. If Li Kai hadn't been able to rely on meditation to polish his spirit and comprehend his own skills, coupled with the fear that it would change the timeline and lead to the activation of the power of the phoenix, he would have destroyed this mission world a long time ago. He's almost getting rid of his hair.

"No. 1, transmit the surveillance footage. Let's take a look. ”

"Zizi...... Yes, master. ”

Along with the image of Jean Grey being tested by Hank, it was transmitted. The voice of No. 1 sounded in Li Kai's ears.

"Zizi...... Master, the strength of the other party is rapidly increasing. It is expected that when the human body reaches the limit state, the strength will reach the sixth-order level. And the intelligence attribute exceeds the master's intelligence attribute at this time. ”

Li Kai's eyes flashed, this is really at the level of the sixth order. In this way, it would be best if you could capture the power of the phoenix without relying on hard work. Otherwise, Jean Grey, who has the ability of a sixth-order mind mage, would not be able to clean it up so easily.

"I'm observing, keeping an eye on her strengthening speed."

"Zizi...... Yes, master

。 ”

……

At the press conference, Professor X looked at everything in front of him at this time, and his heart was very satisfied. In his opinion, this is the beginning of humanity's trust in mutants. So he was smiling at the whole press conference.

And just when he was about to get closer to the president, a powerful spiritual force suddenly exploded. Although only for a moment. However, as the strongest spiritual power on the earth at this time, he still felt it.

And he felt Jean Grey's spiritual energy in it. The expression on his face as he was smiling at the president froze for a moment.

Then he smiled at the president: "Your Excellency, this matter is over. Then I'm going to go back and celebrate with my students. ”

The president looked at the mutant traitor who was close to humanity, but in his eyes, and nodded, "Okay, Professor." Thank you for all your efforts for peace in this world. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

Then he walked out under the escort of the president's bodyguards. The other party found Jean Grey as soon as possible. At this time, he found that his abilities could not enter Jean Grey's mind.

The other party was able to defend against his invasion without leaving any gaps. And for the first time in years.

"Hank, take me to the brainwave amplifier."

"What's wrong? What happened? Raven asked worriedly. After all, at this time, Professor X's face was almost marked with such a large strip of words.

"Jean closed my mind, and I couldn't get in. At this time, her mental power fluctuations were really a bit too big. I need to rely on a brainwave amplifier to connect with the piano. ”

"How is that possible?" Raven listened to Professor X's words with a look of disbelief. After all, she had to admit that Professor X's telepathic abilities were the most powerful she'd ever seen. And Jean Grey is now able to make Professor X have nowhere to go, which is really unexpected.

"It's that energy, the power of the sun's golden flame that Jean absorbs in the sky. That kind of energy is constantly strengthening the genes of the piano. Make it more and more powerful.

When I checked her before, I found that her strength was getting stronger. But I didn't expect to become so much stronger in such a short period of time. Hank also looked at Professor X in surprise and said.

"At this time, it's not about what exactly is the reason for the enhancement of the piano. What we need now is to wake each other up. ”

Controlled the wheelchair and rushed towards the room of the brainwave amplifier.

But what happened next was still unexpected. The enhancement of the brainwave amplifier still did not allow Professor X to successfully break through Jean Grey's autonomous defenses. On the contrary, he was also probed into the past by some memories in the depths of his mind.

Later, with Jean Grey's mental impact, Professor X was knocked unconscious by his violent mental power.

And when he woke up, he saw Quicksilver in front of them. With a very strange expression, he said, "What happened to Qin just now?" Very anxious, he flew directly away. ”

Originally, Professor X's brain, which was still a little muddy, was instantly stimulated by this situation and woke up.

looked at Quicksilver with panic in his eyes: "What did you say?" She left? Where did it go? ”

Professor X's anxious look in front of him made Quicksilver stunned, such a scene is a very rare picture. But he also knew that such a scene was not the time for jokes.

“(⊙o⊙)… I didn't hear clearly, but as she passed me I heard her muttering something like father, home. ”

"Father? Aren't both her parents dead? Raven was stunned, then looked at Professor X. At this time, Professor X's face was full of sad expressions.

"Hank, go get ready, we need to go out and bring the piano back."

Looking at Professor X, who didn't answer her question, Raven suddenly knew that there must be something else hidden in it. Wait until Hank and Quicksilver are gone. She turned to Professor X and asked, "Charles, what's going on?" Is there anything wrong with that? Why do you react like this when you mention Jean's relatives. ”

Raven's questioning made Charles raise his head, and a pair of eyes looked at Raven with pain: "Jean's father is not dead. ”

“WHAT？” Raven's eyes widened as she looked at Professor X.

You know, she has heard of Jean being isolated in the academy for so long. This is also the reason why everyone likes to see Li Kai and Qin when they are together. Because Li Kai made Qin no longer so lonely.

But now Charles tells her that Jean's father is not dead. She is not an orphan. The joke is a bit too big. Not to mention Jean Grey for a while, even Raven was a little angry.

"You always knew that you had been hiding it from her?"

"I'm protecting her."

Listening to Professor X's words, impatience appeared in Raven's eyes.

"Get rid of her, you're not protecting her anymore, you're hurting her. You ......"

Before he finished speaking, Quicksilver's figure reappeared beside the two of them.

"(⊙o⊙)..."Looking at the strange expressions of the two people, Quicksilver thought for a moment, and then said with two pairs of desperate eyes: "It's all ready, we can go at any time." ”

Raven glanced at Professor X with a cold face, and then said to Quicksilver, "Let's go, let's go." ”

The time of the night passed in the blink of an eye.

Jean Grey, standing under a large tree, was a little timid

looked at the house not far away.

I remember my home. She arrived here in the wee hours of the morning. But I don't know if it's because of the cowardice of her hometown, she has never dared to approach the room.

It wasn't until the sun had risen that she walked as if she had finally made up her mind.

Before coming to the door, he raised his hand several times, and finally knocked firmly.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

A figure stepped out of the darkness of the room. With Jean Grey's excited eyes, the door to the room was slowly opened.

Looking at the man who was much older than he remembered. Jean Grey knew that the man in front of her was the father she had always thought was dead.

She looked at each other excitedly, opening her mouth but not knowing how to speak.

But on the contrary, her father looked at Jean Grey and frowned, then thought about it carefully, and said uncertainly, "Jean? ”

Hearing the hoarse voice, Jean Grey nodded, "It's me." ”

And this sentence can also make her father a little dazed. After a while, he opened the door and leaned over to her, saying, "Come in." ”

Unable to calm down for a long time, Jean Grey walked into the room. Compared to the rest of the family's rooms.

The house has a lifeless feel. It's like it's been a long time since anyone lived there. Even if it's clean.

Jean Grey's father looked at the back of this strange daughter, and he didn't know what to say to the other person for a while. After thinking about it, he still said politely: "I'll pour you water." ”

Jean Grey, who had her back to her father, trembled when she heard this unfamiliar tone, and she did not feel the slightest excitement at the sight of herself. There was a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.

But she didn't say much. Just nodded. Then he looked around when the other party went to pour water.

It's not clear how long, maybe only a dozen seconds, maybe a few minutes. Jean Grey's gaze was fixed on the picture frame on one wall.

As her father came back and placed the glass on the table, she seemed to come to her senses because of the movement.

Turning his head to look at the man who was related to him by blood. This father who has been looking forward to him for more than ten years. She asked with disbelief in her eyes and a moment of resentment.

"I don't have me in the pictures at home. You treat me like a non-existent person. Is that so? ”

Her father listened to her and looked at the picture frame on the wall. looked at the smiling face of his wife inside. He couldn't take his eyes back for a long time.

"You speak. Why did you abandon me, why didn't you look for me. Why, why is all this? ”

Her father's eyes looked at Jean Grey with a dead color. Still didn't say anything to refute it.

"What the hell is it. You sent me away. You don't want me anymore, and you don't even leave a trace of me in this house. Why exactly? ”

As Jean Grey's tone grew more and more resentful, so did Jean Grey's excitement. This moment seems to have infected her father as well.

His eyes, which had been dead gray, turned cold.

The hoarse voice was even more cold and cold: "Because from that day on, you no longer exist in my heart, and my world is destroyed and nothing remains." ”

"What?" Jean Grey looked at him in shock. She didn't understand why that was the case. Why would the other party treat themselves as if they didn't exist? He didn't die. But his father chose to forget himself.

And his father looked at Jean Grey's dazed look, and he thought of the man who had said he was going to take her away, the man who had promised that he would never return. The man who promised to seal Jean Grey's memories of them.

He said, "Let's go." This is not your home. I'm not your father either. ”

Jean Grey's eyes widened as she looked at the person in front of her, even though she was standing in front of him alive, the other party still didn't admit that she was his daughter.

The other party completely sent himself out of his world. This is a critical blow to Jean Grey, who has just found her loved ones.

"Why? Why don't you recognize me and don't want me? Why exactly? ”

Jean Grey's indignant screams stirred up her father as well.

The hatred and resentment of Jean Grey in my heart surged uncontrollably. But he still endured it desperately. He didn't want to talk to the man in front of him who had killed his wife.

Just turned around stiffly and pointed out the door: "Please leave." ”

Jean Grey looked at his back, knowing that she couldn't get the news she wanted from the other person's mouth. She used her abilities and began to flip through the other party's memories.

Then the image of a car rolling over came to his mind. Looking at the car accident in the picture, watching his mother die like that because of the mistake of his ability, looking at the desperate eyes and hatred of this father who does not admit himself.

She was stunned. He turned out to be the murderer of his own mother. And not only that, but it was his father who agreed to let himself go.

She was sent out on her own initiative, and her family didn't want her anymore, and even hated her. For a while, she couldn't accept all this.

And in such a situation, the power of the phoenix in the body also became restless. For a moment, the desire to destroy everything began to rise continuously.
