Chapter 858: Brilliant Stars (3)
"Fear is the deepest and most indelible scar engraved in the human soul, and what you are afraid of depends on what makes you instinctively fear for the first time."
"Seeing a black shadow flying over the wall, people will feel fear, but the cause of fear is different, some people are afraid of cockroaches, so when they see a small black dot moving fast, they think of cockroaches and feel afraid, and some people are afraid because they are afraid of ghosts, and they feel scared when they see anything vague but floating around."
Schiller looked at Polaris and said, "Magneto is most likely an outward manifestation of your fear, not an essence."
"In order to prove this to you, I need to ask you a few questions, first, did Magneto Eric really hurt you? I mean, to cause you substantial harm?"
Polaris was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, he didn't hurt me, at most he controlled the magnetic field around him."
"Well, if there is no physical damage, then there must be mental damage, before. Some of his behaviors make you feel frightened and cause mental trauma to you, especially his act of controlling the magnetic field around you, which may make normal people lose all sense of security, which can be said to be a kind of mental abuse."
"But we need to analyze the rationale of his behavior, do you think he made this behavior on purpose to abuse you?"
Polaris showed an impatient expression and said, "Why don't you understand, he's a psychopath! He wouldn't do anything meaningless, and if you ask him that question now, he'll just look at you with a look of contempt and say, "Why should I abuse her?" 」
"You got to the point again, he is not mentally normal, he did not mean to hurt or kill you by doing these acts, in fact, you also understand this, so why should you be afraid of him?"
"I'm ......," Polaris paused.
"Don't rush into an answer, Miss Lona, let's recall one more thing, did your unusual behavior against him start the day you were reunited with him, or when he told you the truth?"
"The day I reunited with him, he told me the truth." "In order to get me into the fraternity, he told me that my abilities were out of control and killed my parents, when in fact I was his own daughter," Polaris emphasized.
"So you've never heard of Magneto before that?"
Polaris thought for a moment and said, "Of course I've heard that he's a very famous mutant, and his abilities are the same as mine, and I've learned a little bit about him before......
"Do you feel fear at this time?" Schiller asked.
Polaris shook his head and said, "I just got some old newspapers, and they all said he had made a mess, just a few pictures, what's so scary? On the contrary, I think he did a good job and was very relieved, unlike those people who can only negotiate."
"Didn't you realize at that time that he had the power to kill you or control you?" Schiller asked again.
"But he doesn't know me! At that time, we were strangers, why did he kill me?" Polaris said with his hands outstretched.
"Then why did he kill you after the relationship between the two of you became father and daughter?" Schiller asked rhetorically.
"Your relationship has not changed from stranger to enemy, but from stranger to closer father and daughter, and during this time, he has not taken violent measures to hurt or control you, and you know that he is not a sadist, so why do you think that he will kill you at any time?"
Polaris was silent for a moment, then said, "yes, he probably didn't mean to kill me, but if one day...... Someday...... He ......"
Polaris' fingertips trembled a little, and Schiller stood up and poured her a glass of water, which Polaris poured down before he spoke, "You don't understand...... You probably haven't seen it...... You don't know how strong he is, he can even ...... I can even ......."
Polaris clutched the glass of water in his hand and said, "Even if he didn't mean it, but someday...... Is he out of control? It's not even out of control, it's just one day, he
Didn't notice ......."
"Did you find out? Miss Lona, what you'll be afraid of is that mutants can get out of control at any time."
"You may not have noticed, in your previous words, you have been saying that you can't pay attention to your power all the time, you can't control every power precisely to protect the ordinary people around you."
"This argument means that you feel that if you are not paying attention and distracting a little, you can kill ordinary people, and even if you don't sympathize with ordinary people, you are terrified of it."
Schiller walked back to his seat and sat down, and he said, "The source of this fear may be your background, when your abilities lost control and caused the plane to crash and kill your parents."
"Yes, Magneto found you in time and had the Master of Illusions hypnotize you into forgetting this experience, but again, memories can be forgotten, but the fear engraved in instinct cannot."
"Your parents died because of your uncontrollable abilities, and you have no faith in the precise mastery of this power, and you feel that the power of any mutant can get out of control, including Magneto Eric."
"Your out-of-control abilities killed your parents, and his out-of-control abilities could kill you, and everyone around you."
"Say no more!" Polaris' tone trembled a little, and she said, "I control my power very well, and I've never made any trouble! I'm better at controlling than the X-Men......
"That's just because you do put a lot more effort into limiting your power than anyone else." Schiller sighed and said, "Charles said you were gifted, but in fact, you didn't show the strength of your talent."
"You've been trying to control your power since the beginning, and you'd rather make it less powerful than lose control, but in reality, other mutants follow their instincts, and they don't control every ounce of power as precisely as you do."
"You can't stay with the X-Men, and probably the same, you find that the others don't restrain themselves like you do, and you feel the same fear, because you know that there are a lot of powerful mutants out there, and if their power gets out of control, no one can save you."
"You don't even want to be anywhere with powerful mutants because you feel like your parents' tragedy will happen to you at any moment."
"You don't live with those mutants, you choose to rent a house in New York, and even if you get kicked out by your landlord, you don't want to join those mutant organizations......
"You think you're on the side of mutants, but in fact, you're closer to ordinary people, and you, like ordinary people, are afraid of the uncontrollability of mutants."
Polaris' face was very pale at this time, and Schiller's every word made her heart ventricles tremble.
She tried to deny every word of his words, but her sanity told her that the psychiatrist was right.
When she first started her physics class at Xavier's School for the Gifted, Magneto came once and showed all the students how the stars and the universe were changing.
Polaris is very interested in the black hole in his hands. I've tried to make my own, but I don't know why, I just can't succeed.
She remembers that all she could think about at the time was, it didn't matter if it didn't work out, as long as it didn't explode.
But if you look at it according to the style of other students, it will blow up, and it will succeed in the end.
Schiller took a sip of water and said, "Professor Charles often says that he is very optimistic about you, perhaps, he is optimistic not only about your ability, but also about your position, and your father Magneto, perhaps understands this, so he wants you to return to ordinary people."
"I want her to go back to normal." Magneto said a very rare long sentence, and Charles was not surprised, he nodded and said, "I know that Lorna often shows a lot of hatred for ordinary people, but this is actually due to the fact that she has been bullied at school."
"But in fact, she has a lot more peace of mind than other mutants, even if it's Iceman and Blaster. They have also caused trouble in ordinary people's society, but Polaris never has been, and she seems to have been worried about her great power
Even at the expense of the strength of one's own abilities, it is necessary to ensure the precision of control."
"She's been terrified." Magneto's voice was low, he stood up and walked to the door, and said to Charles, "I only want to teach her...... Fear is never useful."
After he left, Charles closed his eyes, sighed, and whispered, "So, you let yourself never be afraid, and let yourself never have any other emotions, no fear, no anger, no sadness, no love...... Nature is invulnerable."
Charles's grip on the chair clenched, the furrows in his skin telling that he was no longer young.
Charles thinks that for all these years, he has maintained a peaceful state of mind and wants to settle the mutant matter peacefully.
But every time I feel endless anger and want to break my own principles, it's because of Eric.
Not because he is different from his own position, but because of what he has suffered, and what he has paid for mutants.
Charles took a deep breath and opened his eyes, looking out the window, at this time, the leaves fell one after another, like a golden rain outside the window, the wind rolled the leaves, Charles knew that this was just the last calm before the storm.
A golden ginkgo leaf fell from the window, Nick Fury took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sat on either side of the long table were Coulson, Natasha, Hill, Mark, Ward and other innocent agents.
Nick's tone had never been more serious, and he said, "Today I received a message from the military that at 6 p.m. today, I will be heading to a secret base. Attend a secret meeting."
"The theme of the meeting was to sign a secret agreement, and the content of this agreement was...... How to destroy mutants."
Natasha opened her eyes slightly and said, "Are they crazy? The solar system building project is short of people everywhere, but they want to exterminate the mutants?"
"It's because of the shortage of people everywhere in the solar system construction project that they have to eliminate mutants, because they don't want mutants to occupy too many positions and have too much influence in this project."
"If your house is going to be renovated, will you involve tenants who have rented it before? Decide what kind of decoration the house should look like and what style it should be decorated? Or even let them do it themselves, adjusting the water pipes and wires?"
Coulson said anxiously, "But don't they have a new house in the Andromeda Galaxy? There's no need to ......."
"But do you think mutants will leave voluntarily?" Nick looked at the table in front of him and said, "The people who organized the meeting don't think they can't, and they feel that ordinary people need to help them."
"The solar system construction plan is progressing rapidly, but humanity is still a long way from going to the universe to obtain unlimited resources, and when resources are still limited, the rich want to be richer, you know what I mean?"
Nick's hands clenched, and even the white knuckles could be seen under his black skin, and he said, "There is the shadow of the Iron Curtain, they don't dare to blatantly exploit ordinary people, but the elimination and attack of mutants is what all ordinary people like to see, as long as they start up, ordinary people all over the world will applaud."
Nick pinched his fingers and said, "Schiller has cut off their way to divert domestic pressure by provoking international contradictions, forcing them to unite as one, but that doesn't mean that domestic pressure will disappear, we all know where the pressure comes from."
"They're going to have to find another way to deflect these pressures, and mutants are the best targets."
That's what they've always done, haven't they?" Ciel opened his mouth and said, "Didn't that so-called sentinel robot come out several times? Our agents have caught its tail several times, but unfortunately ......."
Nick Fury's eyes gradually cooled, as if he remembered something, the momentum exuded from his body reminded people that he was also a giant ship that rode the wind and waves and successfully landed in that magnificent era.
Nick's change of attitude made everyone look at him, saying:
"When I was younger, I used to see the hope of humanity going to space, but that hope was quickly dashed......
"This time is the last chance, we have everything, the right time, the right place, the right people, therefore, we can only succeed, not fail."
"I'm not going to let them do that...... Nick said, looking down and closing his eyes, "which means they can't do it."
"Go, sound the alarm...... Nick's voice seemed to travel through an entire era.
He looked across from his seat at the map of the world, which was so big, but so small, and said:
"Get ready, perhaps, this is the last battle."
