19. Conflict

Jean blocked in front of Cyber, which made Professor Charles's face change slightly, Cyber tilted his head and looked at Jean,

"What does that mean?"

"You can't take her!"

Jean said solemnly, "I don't think you can take care of this child. ”

"I don't think I can take care of this child either, you see, I'm only 23 years old, single, and I don't know anything about raising children..."

Cyber took a deep breath, his previous favor for Jean quickly disappeared at this moment, replaced by a faint taunt, "But what does this have to do with you?"

"Get out of the way!"

The atmosphere in the room was completely frozen at this moment, and Professor Charles waved his hand lightly after the sound of Cyber's gritted teeth fell,

"Jean, get out of the way. ”

The professor saw very clearly that Catherine had a special dependence on Cyber, even if she was forcibly left in the academy, it would only make the child full of disgust with this place, not to mention, such a thing as forcibly keeping people, with Professor Charles's character, could not be done at all.

But this time, Jean, who had always been obedient, stubbornly refused to get out of the way, she looked at Catherine, then at Seber, and finally she took a deep breath,

"Mentor, I'm not trying to keep Catherine in the academy, Xavier's Gifted Junior Academy has never used coercion to keep any children from the day it was founded until now, but Cyber... I really don't think you can teach this kid well... Actually, I don't even approve of this child staying with you, you should let her go back to her parents. ”

"Hehe... I'm still saying that... What does this have to do with you?"

Sebo didn't give an inch, and this time even the little girl stared at the piano with hatred, and her little face was full of angry flushes, and she shouted in a child's voice,

"Get out of the way, you wicked woman!"

This title made Jean's expression bitter, but she firmly believed that she had done nothing wrong, and looking at Cyber's mocking gaze, she took a deep breath, her left hand raised slightly, and the invisible force dragged Catherine's hammerhead small bag into the air, extracting what was hidden inside it in an instant.

The moment the black, well-maintained M9 reappeared, Catherine let out a scream,

"Give me back Cyber's gift!

But at the same moment when he saw the weapon, Professor Charles's eyes also became serious, and now he finally knew why Jean had to let Catherine and Cyber separate, but the professor who had survived the turbulent era did not immediately intervene to stop all this, his superb wisdom gave him a sense that maybe the story of Catherine and Cyber had something to do with this weapon.

"Tell me... Cyber, did you give it to her?"

Jean's voice grew colder, and the protection of her psychic power spread out around her body like a wall in front of Cyber and Catherine.

"Is this how you educate Catherine by giving a deadly weapon to a child who can't control it yet? What do you want her to be? a murderer, a violent person, or a lawless thug?"

"Huh"

Seber chuckled, he was not impulsive this time, after hearing Jean's questioning, he took a step back and sat back in his chair with an angry Catherine on her face, he looked at Jean with a look of ridicule and disdain, as if her previous questioning had not appeared at all.

Cyber admits that he has done a lot of bad things, but at least in this matter, he has a clear conscience.

"I just heard that there is a kind of person in this world who always imposes his worldview on others and watches the changes in the world with his eyes closed, and I have always wondered how there can be such stupid people in this world... Now I know that they do exist. ”

Cyber took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, which was placed in his clothes by the careful May, he set it on fire in a grand manner, the smell of cigarettes appeared for the first time in Xavier's Talent Academy, under the shroud of smoke, Cyber's last trace of anger also disappeared, he reached out and flicked it lightly, and the silver ash was bounced away, but the falling ash was wrapped in an invisible force and maintained in the air.

But he didn't care about these amazing little tricks, and he became calm, and he said to Jean,

"Do you know why I gave Catherine this pistol?"

Without waiting for Jean to answer, he asked again, "Do you know what happened to Catherine in the year of her disappearance, in the most chaotic narrow island in Gotham?"

He smiled, spread his hands, and said with an innocent face,

"No, I'm not going to tell you, Jean, because you won't believe what I say, you've been so touched by your "noble" deeds, you feel like you've become the greatest "Madonna" in the world, trying to save the soul of a girl, and I, Sebe Hawke, have become the most hateful bastard in the world, a scoundrel who tempts pure souls to hell, you don't have to argue, I know that's what you think. ”

Jean bit her lip, stopping Saibo's behavior was just her impulse, she could have understood everything before acting, but after all, she was only a 22-year-old young man, even if she was an alpha-class mutant with powers that ordinary people could not imagine, but in this current situation, she only saw her own defeat from Catherine's hateful gaze.

She didn't even understand what could happen to get to this point.

However, Cyber did not chase after him, on the contrary, he even took the initiative to take a step back.

"I've heard that Professor Charles has the ability to read other people's memories freely, so why don't you let Professor see for himself why Catherine would gladly accept my gift to her, and why would she be so stubborn as to go back to Gotham with me. ”

He looked at Professor Charles, who was silent,

"Professor, you can do that, right?"

Professor X's fingers slid lightly over the book in front of him, and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes and nodded,

"Yes, and I can assure you, it won't affect the child's memory in any way, and I'm not going to observe anything other than this memory... I guarantee it with Xavier's last name. ”

The professor glanced at his disciple, and then at Cyber who was sitting there, and he had to admit that the current situation, just a glance at the past, his proud disciple was eaten to death by Cyber, which was originally an absolute good thing, but now no matter what the outcome is, she has completely fallen behind.

Many times, we must pay attention to the method when doing something for others, otherwise we will fall to the point where the piano is now, thankless...

Cyber patted little Catherine on the shoulder, who was glaring at Jean, and said softly to the child,

"Let Grandpa Charles see your memories, don't resist, I promise it won't hurt you... And your sister Jean is holding us back, if we don't do this, she won't let us go... You don't want to see me fight all the way out on your back, do you?"

Catherine waved her hands in exasperation, like a fried kitten,

"She's a liar! She's just tricked me into showing her your gifts, and now she's saying you're a bad person, she's a real liar, and I don't want to see her again!

"Okay, okay, we'll never come back after we're gone, okay?"

Cyber comforted the little girl, and then pointed to Professor Charles who was sitting there, "Now your memory is the only way for us to clear our name, let Grandpa read it, and then we'll go back to Gotham immediately, okay?"

"Hmm... All right. ”

Children of her age do not yet understand what memory means to a person, but on the other hand, there are no secrets in a child's memory that cannot be told, especially for Catherine, whose memory is only a dark hell.

She took two steps forward and stood a little timidly in front of Professor Charles, she played with her fingers, lowered her head, and asked,

"What should I do?"

"Little girl, you don't have to do anything, don't be nervous... You see, I won't even touch you. ”

The professor smiled and stretched out a finger and placed it 2 meters in front of Catherine, his voice became extremely soft, mixed with a trace of special spiritual power,

"Come, Catherine, look at it, yes, don't roll your eyes... 3.2.1!”

"Huh"

The little girl's eyes became distracted at this moment, and Professor Charles also closed his eyes, Cyber sat on the side, his clenched fists represented his nervousness, until 5 seconds later, Catherine and Professor Charles came back to their senses at the same time, and the little girl looked up at the professor curiously,

"I seem to feel you... In those memories of the past, you seem to be standing by and watching. ”

"Well, yes, I'm just watching..."

Charles took out a beautifully packaged cans of candy from the drawer next to him, stuffed it into the little girl's hand, and then patted her head kindly,

"You have a good brother... Go ahead, follow him home, and don't keep Daddy and Robin in waiting. ”

"Well, thank you, sir. ”

Catherine politely bowed her head and thanked Professor Charles for the gift, and then jumped back to Cyber's side, Professor Charles nodded to him, and with a wave of his left hand, the spiritual defense line under the piano cloth collapsed in an instant, and a way to leave appeared in front of Cyber's eyes,

"Protect her, Seb... Just like you've done before, Xavier's Gifted Junior Academy is always open to you and Catherine..."

Cyber snorted in satisfaction, took the M9 from the air next to him, glanced at the pale Jean, shook his head, and strode out with Catherine.

"You should go out and see the world, instead of trapping yourself in your own world, which is cruel and complicated, and there is not so much heaven except your Pure Land... I gave the little girl a weapon to give her my best wishes, I hope she can have the ability to protect herself in this cruel world, that is the best gift for a child. ”

Cyber patted Jean on the shoulder,

"People born in the sun will instinctively reject all darkness, but unfortunately, Catherine and I have lived in the dark, we never expect the sun to shine on us, I hope that the next time I see you, you will be more mature, not so naΓ―ve all the time. ”

Jean's face turned extremely pale, and in a place that Cyber didn't see, Professor Charles had quietly extended her senses to Catherine's memory, and in the five seconds she had watched Catherine's experience in the past year.

No matter how firm her heart is, at this moment, she has to admit that Cyber is Catherine's savior, not her who can only talk about it, at this moment, Jean instinctively doubted herself, maybe it was fate, this doubt quickly spread to the level of doubting her self-existence, so fast that Professor Charles, who felt that something was wrong, had no time to stop it.

"Click"

An inaudible crisp sound, Jean's eyes swirled, a dark voice sounded in her heart, the next moment, her eyes were dark, and she fell to the ground, Professor Charles's face changed greatly, this old man who was unhurried in doing anything, at this moment, quickly urged the wheelchair, appeared behind Grey Jean at a very fast speed, held her body downward, and pointed a finger on Qin's forehead with both hands.

In the sea of his disciple's mind, the soul seal that had been set up by him since he was a teenager had already appeared a crack, and unimaginable spiritual power poured into Qin's sea of mind, quickly mending the crack little by little.

The professor could still feel the terrifying power surging behind the seal, and in reality, with Professor Charles's strength, sweat appeared on his forehead after doing all this.

"Cyber..."

He shook his head, "Mysterious guy who suddenly appeared, you almost ruined everything." ”

Yes, without Cyber even noticing, Professor Charles already knew all his experiences from his appearance in Gotham to the present, this is one of the two poles of mutants, and even if Cyber is extremely wary, he still underestimates this power.
