Chapter 10: First Encounter with Professor X

Professor X is in a terrible mood right now, according to the original plan, he should be leading the professors and students of the mutant school to organize a tour of the museum, and maybe after the event, he can go to the coffee shop next door for a cheese sandwich.

But now, he is sitting in his office in a meeting with three professors.

It was all caused by a damn piece of TV news: the president was attacked by one or more mutants in his office in the White House and is currently unharmed······

This is undoubtedly a terrible piece of news for the part of the mutants who want to live in peace with ordinary humans, the turmoil caused by the Liberty Island incident (the first confrontation between the mutant fraternity and the X-Men) has just subsided, and now there are mutants infiltrating the White House to attack the president directly, which shows that someone wants to provoke a war between mutants and humans!

Which bastard did this?

Not surprisingly, everyone suspects Magneto's head, even though he is still being held in a plastic prison designed by Professor X himself. But considering that this old guy has always been supernatural, and prison escapes are commonplace, he still became the first suspicion of the X-Men.

Therefore, after some discussion, Professor X finally decided to find the mutant (or guys) who attacked the president through the brainwave augmentation machine, and then go to the prison to confirm it with Magneto himself.

"Professor!"

At this moment, a beautiful girl with long flaxen hair suddenly entered through the wall and interrupted the professors' meeting.

"Katie, it's been so long, I thought you'd learned to knock before you entered the house. Professor X said helplessly, obviously this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.

"I'm sorry, Professor. Katie stuck out her tongue mischievously and said, "That's right, there's a boy named Evan coming out there, and he says he's a mutant and wants your help." ”

"Okay, in five minutes, you bring him to my office," Professor X has always been hesitant to help mutants in need, "remember to go through the front door." ”

"OK, Professor. Katie said, turning and leaving the room. Of course, she still walked through the wall.

"Let's get here first," After Katie left, Professor X already had a specific plan in mind: "After settling our new partner, we'll act immediately, Storm Girl, Jean, you go and bring back the mutant who attacked the president, and Scott and I will visit our old friend in prison······"

On the other side, Xu Ye, under the leadership of Katie, came all the way to Professor X's office unimpeded. That's right, it's unimpeded, people wear through people, and walls block through walls.

At first, Xu Ye was still very puzzled: Could it be that the crooked nuts are so open, and they just held hands when they met? But when they passed through the first wall, Xu Ye immediately understood that it was he who happened to meet the phantom cat in "X-Men", Katie.

Katie has the magical ability to penetrate matter, and can even take people or objects she touches with her. This ability used to be very envied by Xu Ye, but he didn't expect to be taken to experience it as soon as he arrived at the mutant school.

Soon, after passing through the last wall, the two arrived in Professor X's office.

"Katie!" Professor X said in real frustration.

"I'm sorry, Professor. Katie smiled mischievously, leaving Xu Ye behind and quickly leaving here through the wall.

"Maybe I should make a separate school rule for her, and I hope you're not intimidated by her, my young friend. Professor X said while motioning for Xu Ye to sit down first.

"No, how could it be, it's so exciting, uh, I mean, she's unique. Xu Ye's right hand shook unconsciously, and there was still the residual warmth on Katie's palm.

"Yes, she's a very unique girl, but let's talk about you first, shall we?" Professor X was obviously an old bird, but he didn't break anything.

"Okay, Professor, my name is Evan, Evan Clark, I'm from California, I'm 19 years old······"

Xu Ye knew that Professor X's best field was telepathy, and it was not too simple to tell if a person was lying. Therefore, when he used the temporary status given by the Tower of Glory to "introduce" himself, he was almost extremely nervous, for fear that the professor would see some flaws.

"Son, I'd love to hear your true story so that it's good for you and for me. Professor X said with a pleasant face.

"It's over, it's over, it's been discovered······" Xu Ye's heart was suddenly in turmoil.

"Although your situation is a bit peculiar, and I can't read your mind directly, your expression is so obvious that you almost put your nervousness on your face. ”

You can't read my mind directly? Why didn't you say it earlier, it made me nervous for a long time. Xu Ye shouted in his heart that it was dangerous, but his face was immediately replaced with a panicked expression that the lie had been exposed.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I just lied to you. ”

Since Professor X couldn't read his mind directly, Xu Ye had nothing to worry about.

As long as he doesn't get scared in his heart, ordinary people really can't tell if he is lying, after all, the intelligence attribute of up to 18 points is not good-looking.

As for why Professor X couldn't read his thoughts, of course, it was the credit of the Tower of Glory, otherwise, if he was allowed to read Xu Ye's memory, wouldn't the matter of the Tower of Glory be directly exposed?

"I'm actually an orphan, born in Texas, my original name is Mike, and I was caught in prison for stealing······" At this moment, the most intuitive manifestation of high intelligence and high soul strength (soul strength) in him is to say nonsense without drafting: "Just half a year ago, I found that I have some special abilities: for example, my body has become more flexible than ordinary people, and my speed is much faster.

At first, I thought I was a superhuman or an alien, but then I read the news and realized that I might be a mutant. I heard that you can contain mutants here, so I asked a friend to help me forge my identity and ask for your help. ”

"Okay, Ivan. First of all, I want to say that no matter who you are or what you have done, as long as you are willing to correct your past mistakes and stop doing illegal or immoral things, then you are very welcome to join here. ”

Originally, in order to facilitate the evolutionary to complete the task, the Tower of Glory arranged an innocent identity for Xu Ye, but he was almost recognized by the professor. And he fabricated an identity with a "stain" on the spot, but won the trust of the professor:

"Also, I want to correct that this is not a shelter, it's a school. As mutants, you don't need to feel inferior, we are not aliens, but a choice of nature for humans. Variation is the basis of evolution, and our existence proves that human evolution has not stopped, in other words, we are the pioneers of human evolution. ”

"Yes, Professor, I also think that as we continue to evolve, we will be the world of mutants in the future. ”

"This thought of yours reminds me of an old friend of mine, who is equally stubborn about the idea that mutants are superior to the average species. In fact, in my opinion, mutants are no different from ordinary people. ”

Professor X paused, and continued:

"It's like some people have white skin, some people have black skin, and some people have yellow skin, but there is no essential difference between them, they all have the same rich emotions and fragile bodies. It's just that humans are used to referring to most people as 'ordinary', and as a result, we become 'unordinary' mutants. ”

Xu Ye said: "But those ordinary people still can't escape the fate of being eliminated after all, aren't they, and maybe even one day in the future, we will also become the 'majority' and become ordinary people, and then new mutants will appear and eliminate us too." ”

"I'm glad you have this kind of awareness, Evan!" After hearing Xu Ye's words, Professor X's eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance: "Yes, we are mutants now, but one day in the future, we will also have the possibility of becoming ordinary people, therefore, I hope that in any era, ordinary people will be eliminated by nature, not by mutants." ”

"I think I see what you mean, Professor. As mutants, we shouldn't be enemies of ordinary people, but we should use our abilities to help more mutants and push the pace of human evolution, right?"

The rebellious part has already behaved almost completely, and Xu Ye feels that he needs to pretend to be a good baby now.

"Yes, all the students here, including you, are mutants. Most of them are unaware of, or even afraid of, their abilities. Therefore, you will learn all kinds of knowledge here, but also learn how to control your ability to use it better to protect yourself and others. ”

"I see, Professor. ”

Xu Yexin said that he could be regarded as fooling you, thinking that back then, my buddy was nicknamed "Chang Youli" in the university dormitory, and it was not a matter of playing a game of justice with you here.

"So, Evan, could you please show me your special talents now?"

"Yes, Professor. ”

With that, Xu Ye suddenly got up, rushed to Professor X as fast as he could, and after circling his wheelchair, he retreated back to the same place again. It's just that because his speed is too fast (with his three times the agility of ordinary people, the whole process is less than a second), when he sat back in the chair, under the action of huge inertia, even the human belt actually slid out with the chair.

"You can see that you don't have a full grasp of your abilities. ”

"Yes Professor, I'm too fast (Quicksilver laughs) to even control myself. ”

"No, I'm not talking about speed, maybe you didn't realize it, but you actually have very strong psychic abilities. ”

"Psychic ability?" Xu Ye struggled to put on an expression of "I can't believe it".

"Yes. I tried to launch a mental attack on you just now, but it didn't cause any effect, if it were an ordinary person, even if he wasn't unconscious, he would at least be interrupted from his current movements. ”

Xu Ye said nonsense in his heart, are you Lao Tzu 30 points of soul strength and 9 points of spirit resistance are decorations? But he just made a little arrogant in his heart, but his face did not show it at all:

"Is this true, I actually have a powerful psychic ability, so can I also use this psychic ability to protect myself or rebel against others?" Xu Ye was careful to use the words "protection" and "resistance", he didn't want to leave Professor X with any fierce and aggressive impression.

"Of course, if you want, I can teach you some simple mental defense and even attack techniques. But you need to break some bad habits first. ”

Professor X paused, and then said with a strange expression: "Can you give it back to me now, although it doesn't have much money in it, but it has been with me for many years, and I don't want to change it to a new one." ”

"I'm sorry, Professor, I didn't do this intentionally, I just carelessly······ Well, I mean I'm going to change it in the future, and I'm not going to do this kind of thing again. As he spoke, Xu Ye returned his wallet to Professor X with an embarrassed expression.

As an "orphan with a history of stealing", if Xu Ye behaves too well-behaved, it will arouse Professor X's suspicion, so he deliberately took Professor X's wallet just to dispel his last doubts.

"I hope so. You know, there are guys in this school who don't have a very good temper. Professor X put away his wallet and continued to smile and said, "Now, I have some very important things to deal with, so please go to Katie first, she will arrange everything for you, and when I come back, we will start our studies, okay?"

"Okay, Professor, that's a great arrangement, uh, I mean, I'd be happy to wait for you to come back. Well, I'm not going to bother you with your work for now."

After that, Xu Ye turned around and left Professor X's office directly, in fact, according to the education he has received over the years, he should at least be polite before leaving, but as an "orphan who has no formal education and has even entered the bureau", maybe it is the most correct choice to be rude and leave directly.

The moment he stepped out of the office, the language prompt of the Glory Terminal sounded in his ears:

[Main quest 1, completed]
