Chapter 15: The Secret of X Academy
"Are you trying to say that Professor Wagner has something to do with this?" Quinn said.
"It's just a guess, after all, if you want to find someone who can put something in that door at any time, Professor Wagner is the only one in the entire X Academy." Ziliang responded: "Anyway, let's go and see first, maybe open that door, and we'll know the answer."
At 10 p.m., on a certain floor of the school building.
Ziliang,Harley. Quinn and Joey Sr. arrived at the door of Professor Wagner's office.
After a day's exploration, Ziliang has probably determined that the police have not placed important police forces inside the academy, and it is estimated that they are all trying their best to explore those routes that can escape to the outskirts of the city. In short, in the past few hours, Ziliang has been safe.
Since Ziliang is safe for the time being, let's talk about this Professor Wagner first.
He should have been over 100 years old, but due to his health, he still looked like he wanted to be a young demon in his twenties and thirties
It's ridiculous to say, although Professor Wagner looks like a demon, he is an extremely devout Christian, he wears a cross around his neck all the year round, he has a large tattoo of scriptures on his body, he prays every day when he eats, and he does the same before going to bed, he doesn't fight, he doesn't get angry, he doesn't speak ill of people behind his back, in short, you can hardly find any stain on his body that is not "holy", except for his appearance.
And it is precisely because of Professor Wagner's piety that his office is never closed
Many people who respect the faith will have strange behaviors of one kind or another, such as asceticism, such as not eating meat, such as not marrying for the rest of their lives, and what Professor Wagner shows is that he does not lock the door, maybe it is a sentence in a certain scripture, saying that God wants this world to no longer have acts such as smashing, looting, and burning, whatever, anyway, it seems that Professor Wagner wants to risk his life to verify that there should be no stealing in the world
Well, of course, he didn't have anything to steal in his office, just a few old books. When he wants to use something, he just flickers it home and gets it, why should he put it in the east and west.
Without further ado, Ziliang and the others directly pushed open the door of Professor Wagner's office, just like everyone thought, in the middle of the night, there could be no one in this place.
And "that door" stayed quietly on the opposite wall.
"We're like this, is it really okay?" Halle. Quinn came to the door and asked with some doubts, opening a door that had not been opened for decades, this feeling may be like taking someone for the first time, more or less tangled.
But Ziliang doesn't have this kind of alternative complex, he is now a wanted criminal, as long as there is something that allows him to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, you can let him just smash the wall.
So, he didn't say much, and walked straight to the door
【07230】
While mentally meditating, he tossed the turntable back and forth to tell the truth, and in these few seconds, Ziliang's heart also rose to his throat, after all, everything that happened was too weird, he should have been involved in a big game, but he didn't know anything.
For example, this string of numbers, the devil knows who left it for him, in case it was a trap, maybe the next second, a group of police suddenly appeared at the door and arrested themselves.
Or, there is some kind of awesome monster sealed behind this door, and he is the fluted boy who released it
This kind of secondary and unrealistic ideas appeared in Ziliang's head one after another, and just when he was thinking nonsense, he only heard a "click" The door, which has not been touched for decades, slowly opened!
A dusty wind wafted out of the door.
There were no guards who suddenly appeared, no terrifying roars, and no sinister mechanisms shot from behind the door.
Behind that door, there was just a small confined space and stacks of papers.
"What is this?" Quinn and Old Joy both came over.
Ziliang couldn't answer this question, because he didn't know either, so he reached out and picked up the first page of the stack of documents and put it in front of him.
"Found it." He said. Then, turning the front of the page to the remaining two: "This person is the Shirley of my memory." ”
Quinn and Old Joy looked at the paper, which was the first page of a college file, Shirley's, and in the upper right corner, there was a photo, but in the photo was a little girl with short blond hair, a round face, and a little indifferent for her age.
Although it is somewhat similar to the current Shirley, it is definitely not a person.
And at the bottom of this file are the results of this Shirley exam
【Shirley. Birkin】
[Age: 12 years old]
[2049 Ability Test Results: Excellent]
[Predicting the possibility of a potential level 5 mutant]
In addition to these words, on the entire paper, there is a large red postmark.
On the red stamp, there are a few huge words
【Application for Clearance】
There was silence, and no one knew what to say at this moment. But it was obvious that Shirley had indeed been dropped, and the bloody [Application for Clearance] led all thoughts to an extremely terrifying idea.
"What do you mean by clearing?" Quinn muttered a little out of consciousness.
Ziliang also shook his head: "I don't know, but, I think, will it be"
"yes, that's what you think."
At this moment, suddenly a light voice came, and the three of Ziliang suddenly turned the realization in the direction from which the sound came
I saw that Professor Wagner was already standing quietly in the center of his office, and there was still the kind of smoke and dust that had just teleported on his body.
"To clear means to die." Professor Wagner continued.
No one knows why he suddenly came to his office, at this time, he should be sleeping, but now everyone has no heart to think about this, in the dark, four pairs of eyes look at each other, no one knows what will happen in the next second.
Finally, it was Professor Wagner who spoke first.
"I have a question, when this door was built in X Academy, it was in a sealed state, no one has ever opened it, and even I don't know the password, so how do you know?"
Ziliang didn't answer this question, but he could hear that it was not Professor Wagner who had been guiding him and telling him the code of this door, but someone else.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Ziliang suddenly asked in reverse.
In the dark, Professor Wagner smiled, although he was not as shy as usual, but he still maintained his usual politeness in his smile: "This is really an impolite question, this is my office, of course I can come at any time, but your actions are nothing more than thieves, but since you know the password of this door, perhaps, you are the one chosen by 'God' to end this sick X bill savior, so I will explain all this to you." ”
Professor Wagner said differently, as if recalling something from a long time ago: "Actually, in every city X Academy, there will be such a "sealed" place, it may be a safe, it may be hidden in the sky directly above the academy, anyway, it is a place that normal people can't reach, in each academy, only one professor can enter this "sealed space", and its function is to store those documents that you don't want you to know. ”
As he spoke, Professor Wagner also pointed to Shirley's file: "Like the one you hold in your hand."
"In other words, you already knew that this Shirley was fake?" Harry. Quinn asked incredulously.
Professor Wagner nodded: "Yes, not only do you know, but also, all of your memories about the real Shirley are also tampered with by us, and the fake Shirley is also hand-picked by us" He said lightly, and then looked at Ziliang: "But you are very different, because of your ability, we are not very successful in replacing your memory, so you seem to remember what Shirley used to look like, and it is precisely because of this that we have to use our hands and feet on you to make you honest"
This passage made everyone's brains almost stop, who would have imagined that the initiators of all this were actually these professors of X Academy.
While everyone was stunned, Professor Wagner continued: "I know where your doubts are, and you want to know why you are doing this, right? Quite simply, it's part of Bill X. His voice seemed to be a kind of self-deprecation: "Bill X is not as perfect as it seems, it is divided into two parts, the first is that it is known to everyone, and there is no way for human beings to subjectively hurt each other. I have to say that this is a big premise for our mutants to survive in this world, and I don't like any violence myself.
However, it is far from enough to not be subjectively harmed, because some level 5 mutants have the ability to destroy a city in an instant, and those omega-level mutants can even open the entire continent and even tear apart the planet, although there are very few of them, but as long as one appears, it is a disaster that all mankind can absolutely not bear.
So there is another part of Bill X, which is that anyone who has the potential to become a mutant of level 5 or above is eliminated and will not be tolerated
Yes, the reason why people from all over the world come to X Academy every year is not to let you study history, or to improve your control over your abilities, in fact, the main thing is that we are screening you, who can live and who deserves"
