Chapter 388: Phoenix

Alex pushed Charles to find Jean Grey, while continuing to chat with Charles: "Second personality, have you had in-depth contact?" ”

"Untouchable." Charles shook his head, the expression on his face was slightly cold, "Every time I try to touch it, I will be blocked back by its powerful spiritual power, and the only thing I can feel is tyranny and madness." ”

Alex's face became heavier the more he listened, and the matter seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.

While thinking about it, Charles's voice rang out: "It's here, she's inside!" ”

Alex immediately stopped, and turned his head to see a girl sitting alone on a bench in the corner of the square, staring blankly into the distance, and there was no one around.

"She's Jean Grey?!" Alex looked at the girl dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. In Alex's mind, Jean Grey has two images, one is a ten-year-old girl with flowers and bones, and the other is a bewitching beauty like a ripe peach, and the Jean Grey in front of her is a twenty-one or twenty-two blooming flower!

Charles turned his head to look at Alex, his face full of surprise: "What's wrong?" Do you know? ”

Alex shook his head with a wry smile, patted Charles on the shoulder, and walked towards Jean Grey, as he walked, Alex kept muttering, "Is it my big butterfly again?!" ”

"Don't come near me!" Before Alex could get closer, a cold and arrogant voice sounded in his head.

Alex stopped when he heard the sound, looked up at the unmoving Jean Grey, and showed a faint smile on his face: "This attitude is not good, especially for the elderly!" After saying that, she didn't wait for Jean Grey to react. Alex withstood the mental resistance that Jean Grey unleashed. Walk slowly to the bench. He chuckled and sat down.

Jean Grey had already turned her head before Alex could speak, and watched Alex walk over step by step, her ice-like face full of surprise.

"Don't you know me?" Alex looked at Jean Grey's eyes, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a deep frustration, "I didn't expect that there are mutants who don't know me, it's such a failure!" ”

Jean Grey looked at Alex with a stunned face. It took a long time to react, his expression returned to coldness, and even his head turned back, and a faint voice sounded: "Alex, I know!" ”

"Is there anything you want to say or talk about, meet me?" With a smug expression on his face, Alex leaned in and sat down next to Jean Grey.

Jean Grey was frightened again, fluttering her arms like a frightened bird, and subconsciously moved to the side. His head turned to Alex again, his face full of horror.

"Don't look at me like that. Your power can't stop me! Alex shrugged, took the initiative to move a position to the left, and then smiled, looked at Jean Grey, who had not yet reacted, and said, "But to be honest, your ability is very strong, and your potential is huge!" ”

Jean Grey's icy expression showed signs of softening, staring at Alex for a long time, tilting her head and looking arrogant: "Of course!" ”

"Perhaps, you know it?" Alex was stunned and then laughed, pointed to Jean Grey's head, opened his mouth and said slowly, "Its existence is in your head." "Jean Grey in front of her is not a little girl, ten years of "normal" growth, it is impossible for Jean Grey not to know her illness.

Qin Grey trembled, the expression on her face instantly turned cold, more and more cold, and even her voice became unfamiliar: "I know!" ”

"Ever thought about getting rid of it?" Alex didn't care, looked at Jean Grey, and asked to himself.

Jean Grey turned around abruptly and looked at Alex with an excited expression, her voice trembling: "You have a way?" ”

"Perhaps, who knows!" Alex shrugged and replied disapprehantly. Dealing with dual personalities, Alex can be regarded as a little experienced. Whether it's Sentinel or Jean Grey, Alex knows they want to get out of it.

Jean Grey was not disappointed by Alex's answer, but took the initiative to approach Alex and looked at Alex with a pleading face: "Please, you must help me!" ”

"That's it!" Alex waved his fist excitedly, but there was no trace on his face, and said with a smile, "You are one of us, I will definitely help you!" ”

After speaking, Alex stared into Jean Grey's eyes, and under Jean Grey's gradually blushing face, Alex's voice sounded again, very serious: "I can help you, but I need your cooperation!" ”

"I will cooperate!" Jean Grey nodded impatiently in agreement, staring at Alex with reverent and reverent eyes.

"OK, I need to talk to it now, okay?" Alex pointed to Jean Grey's head, his expression relaxed slightly, and said mockingly, "Maybe it's willing to disappear on its own!" ”

Jean Grey smiled bitterly, shook her head and whispered, "Come on!" As she spoke, Jean Grey took the initiative to loosen her mental defenses.

In order to prevent her own ability from influencing others, and to avoid the emergence of that evil personality, Jean Grey took the initiative to arrange several spiritual defenses for herself after she was able to control her own ability. These mental defenses not only block her own exposure, but also prevent others from prying eyes on her, which is one of the reasons why Charles encountered resistance.

Alex discovered this when he approached Jean Grey, and although Alex could forcibly penetrate these psychic defenses, doing so would only irritate Jean Grey even more, causing unnecessary trouble for Alex's next actions. Therefore, Alex tried his best to make Jean Grey let down his guard through words, and successfully persuaded Jean Grey to take the initiative to let go of her mental defense.

"Protect your privacy and don't let me see you!" Laughing and reminding Jean Grey, Alex released his telepathy and probed into the depths of Jean Grey's mind.

Jean Grey was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then reacted, and looked at Alex with a little more strange look.

Alex hadn't noticed Jean Grey's eyes, he had already put all his mind on the one he was about to face.

In fact, Alex hasn't quite touched it yet. A tyrannical and crazy consciousness came violently. Like a tsunami. If it weren't for Alex's constant caution. This wave alone was enough to destroy this wisp of consciousness in Alex.

Without rushing forward, Alex waited a long time until the tsunami dissipated and then moved on. But before Alex could go a little deeper, another tsunami hit, more violent than before, and the tyranny and madness contained in it were even more amazing.

"Dark Phoenix, it's really powerful!" Alex had to stop again. With a sigh, she began to wonder where Jean Grey came from.

Such a tyrannical and powerful consciousness has completely cosmic-level strength, and it is impossible for a newborn mutant to have such strength, not to mention that this power also belongs to the second personality.

The more he thought about it, the more Alex's thoughts became more and more chaotic, and his mental power began to fluctuate.

"That's not right!" Alex's alertness is very strong, and his mental power is not weak at all, and he discovered the abnormality at the first time, his body trembled slightly, and his face was faintly pale. "This is the effect of the Dark Phoenix on me!"

Jean Grey's eyes have been on Alex and she notices Alex's anomaly. Immediately became nervous, reached out to help but was worried that it would be self-defeating, and I was so flustered for a while that I didn't know what to do, and I was so anxious that I was about to cry!

In the distance of the base, Charles was also looking here, and when he saw Jean Grey like this, he immediately became alert, and hurriedly signaled to the storm girl who appeared behind him at some point, and the two rushed over together.

"What happened?" Charles glanced at Alex, who was not moving, his heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to look at Jean Grey, and his tone was a little hurried.

Jean Grey woke up, turned her head to look at Charles, pointed to Alex's trembling body, and explained with a crying voice: "Mr. Alex wanted to talk to it, but suddenly it became like this!" ”

Charles's face changed, and he released his telepathy for the first time, and before he could enter Jean Grey's brain, Alex's body suddenly woke up with a shock.

"Don't panic!" Alex stopped Charles's movements, turned his head to look at Jean Grey, and asked curiously, "Jean, can you take the liberty of asking, is there any special person among your ancestors?" After finding out that he was almost affected by the Dark Phoenix, Alex immediately chose to leave, and by the way, took the opportunity to learn about the true origin of the Dark Phoenix.

Seeing that Alex was safe and sound, Jean Grey immediately burst into tears and laughed, and immediately shook her head and said with a confused expression, "I don't know. ”

Alex frowned slightly when he heard this, groaned for a long time, and turned his head to look at Charles: "You watch here, I'll come when I go!" As soon as the words fell, Alex activated the teleportation and disappeared.

Seeing Alex leave, the look of loss in Jean Grey's eyes flashed, and she quickly returned to indifference.

Charles shook his head with a depressed face, looked at Jean Grey, who had fallen silent, and sat aside without saying a word.

In this world, the only person Alex can think of to know the identity of Jean Grey is Otto the Observer. Otto the Observer comes from a mysterious race in the universe and has monitored the earth for hundreds of thousands of years, so he must know the secret of the dark phoenix on Jean Grey.

"What are you going to do?" Otto was sitting in his palace in a daze, when he suddenly felt Alex's appearance and turned his gaze somewhere, and Alex happened to emerge from it.

Alex didn't care when he heard Otto's question as soon as he appeared, chuckled, and asked directly: "You should have seen it all?" Just tell me and save me from asking! With Otto's ability to monitor the Earth, Alex doesn't believe he doesn't know what he's just doing on Earth.

Otto's round bald head suddenly darkened, faintly oozing fine beads of sweat, and a pair of pupils shrank with it, as if he thought of something terrifying.

"Can't tell?" Alex noticed Otto's reaction, and his face changed as he asked, a little nervously.

Alex, who has been in the universe for decades, knows that there are many taboos and secrets in the universe, most of which are unknown and unspoken. All of them were in awe of these taboos and secrets, and did not even dare to mention them, as if they were afraid of disturbing something. Otto's strange and frightened reaction reminds Alex of these cosmic taboos and secrets.

Otto pondered for a long time, and said slowly with a long sigh of relief: "Anyway, it will appear sooner or later, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you now!" ”

Alex was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was shocked, and looked up at Otto's face pale: "What do you mean?!" ”

Otto nodded, and explained directly: "The phoenix is one of the most formidable beings in the universe, it can cut or regenerate any part of the universe, or even destroy it completely, burning those that should be eliminated - this is called 'Phoenix's Judgment'. Saying that, Otto paused slightly, his eyes became extremely deep, and even his tone was much lower, "The enthusiasm of all things is the embodiment of the spark, the spark brings life to the universe, and the flame will eventually destroy it, this is the power of the phoenix!" ”

......The expression on Alex's face changed completely, he had been guessing the origin of the Dark Phoenix, but he didn't expect its origin to be so shocking.

Otto looked at Alex deeply and continued, "At first, it was a huge, invisible group of energy that traveled through the universe like any other cosmic being. But thousands of years ago, it came to Earth and met a magician who madly worshipped the legend of the phoenix, and under the daydream ideals of the magician, it took on its current form, the phoenix! ”

"It didn't take long for someone to try to force the power of the phoenix, and the magician succeeded in repelling the forcible captor with the blessing of the phoenix. However, the forcible still stole some of the fragments of the phoenix's body, allowing the phoenix to escape back to the universe in pain and chaos! ”

Otto's voice was like a morning bell, constantly striking Alex's heart, making Alex no longer at peace, and his words trembled: "Jean is the descendant of the forcible one?!" ”

"Yes!" Otto nodded, the expression on his face calm, "With the awakening of the phoenix power in her body, the phoenix wandering in the universe will inevitably be guided and will descend on Earth one day." ”

Alex looked up at Otto, not saying a word, and the expression on his face was a little strange, like the ease after liberation, and like the pity in despair.

Otto glanced at Alex, slowly closed his eyes, and whispered a sentence: "At that time, under the power of the phoenix, the raging flames will envelop the entire earth, and everything will cease to exist!" ”

"Why?!" Alex sat down on the ground limp and looked at Otto with a confused face, "Why would an existence like a phoenix destroy the earth?!" Alex is very confident in his own strength, he is sure to deal with the blackened Jean Grey, that is, the dark phoenix, but he definitely has no confidence in dealing with the phoenix in Otto's mouth. If the phoenix really wants to destroy the earth, Alex has no way at all.

Otto looked at Alex deeply and said meaningfully, "It's not up to the phoenix, it's the humans themselves!" As soon as he finished speaking, Otto closed his eyes and became a statue, ignoring Alex at all.

Alex looked at Otto, who was speechless, stunned, bowed seriously, and turned to leave, his face full of fear and confusion. (To be continued.) )
