Chapter 260: The Healing Effect of the Mind Gem
It is absolutely impossible for a person who absorbs human life to have no change in his psyche.
Especially when Jiaying had encountered such a tragic past, so much pain, hatred and guilt made her psychology completely distorted.
She thinks that only aliens with the same abilities as she are the ones who deserve to be protected and free, and ordinary people deserve to die!
Even Carl's psyche is just as twisted -
He killed a villager for his wife, Jiaying, to absorb her vitality and recover.
Coupled with the effect of the inferior super soldier serum he developed himself, his psyche has also fallen into darkness-
It's like the Red Skull back then.
It was only under the influence of Oakes' spells that his love and obsession with his daughter were aroused, allowing him to say everything.
"Dr. Oakes...... I was a great sin, but all I did was to bring Daisy home! ”
Karl also seemed to remember his wife's strange condition, and he clutched his arms in agony:
"But you're right, Daisy just went back with me, Jiaying she...... She has a plan, Daisy is such a kind girl and will never agree! ”
"We'll solve your problem first."
Oakes was silent for a moment and sighed:
"You're in an unstable state, and without the influence of my spells, you'll be engulfed in darkness again."
He pressed his right hand to his chest, and a rich yellow light emanated from the palm of his hand:
"In order not to make a big fuss, I'll make an exception."
Jia Ying's attempt to use the impure Terrigan Crystal to kill ordinary people who are not Inhumans must not happen.
"Where is Jiaying now?"
After being healed by the Mind Gem, Carl felt as if the darkness that had been hidden in his heart for more than twenty years seemed to have completely disappeared.
"She's looking for four more obelisks to implement that plan......"
Carl, who had regained his senses, was clearly keenly aware of the seriousness of the matter:
"Damn...... What have I done in the past!
Dr. Oakes, Jia Ying used to be very kind, please help her! ”
"The obelisk hasn't been found...... That's great. ”
Oakes breathed a sigh of relief, if Jia Ying had already started smelting the obelisk, then he would have to resort to coercion.
"You and Jiaying come here, and then I'll bring Skye, well, Daisy."
He looked at Carl, who was overjoyed:
"You know I have the power to get your wife back to where she used to be, but what your daughter will think of you is up to you."
……
Skye, who learned of his origins, should now be called Daisy Johnson, is still a little dizzy.
While she was having a good time chatting with the newcomers Pietro and Wanda, Oakes handed her over to the lab and said he was going to tell her something.
As a result, she suddenly learned about her background.
"I've made an appointment with your father to bring your mother with you."
Oakes couldn't have told her everything, of course, but the information was enough to shock her.
"Also, regarding your physical abnormality, now your father has determined that it was inherited from your mother-
So, we can move on to the next step, do you want to channel your own capabilities? ”
Oakes hadn't forgotten that Daisy seemed to be the future leader of the Inhumans in her prophecy.
These weird guys have a lot to do with it, but since he's going to "treat" Jiaying, Daisy shouldn't have to shoulder this kind of heavy responsibility.
It's just that she'll find out about it sooner or later, so it's better to safely complete her mutation now.
With her own guidance, she can also smoothly learn how to use her powers.
"Ability? Like Petro and Wanda? ”
Daisy's eyes are shining, she still has this potential?
"It's not quite like them, but it's pretty much the same."
Oakes looked at this little girl who was a little happy and smiled:
"Also...... When you've learned how to use power, you can leave me and go back to Coulson. ”
"I ......"
Daisy was a little stunned when she heard this.
"Why, I didn't want to come at first, and I didn't want to leave?" Oakes was a little funny.
"You—Didn't you say I still owe you medical bills!"
Daisy is a little conflicted, but she has never experienced such a stable life during this period since she was a child.
When I was a child, I never stayed in one place for two years, I didn't feel the warmth of my family, and even when I entered S.H.I.E.L.D., I traveled around the world on missions.
After just a few months in this place that can heal people's hearts, she is really reluctant to leave.
She now somewhat understood why Melinda occasionally missed life here.
"After awakening the ability, these experimental data will be all the medical bills you pay."
Oakes pointed to a sealed pod next to him, the obelisk had been opened by him using the power of the Infinity Stones, and the Terrigen Crystal inside would only serve Daisy alone:
"Go in, maybe your ability can help Coulson and them more."
“…… Good! ”
Daisy seemed to be touched by this last sentence, and she took a deep breath and walked to the sealed cabin, her face suddenly reddening:
‘…… Still...... Undressed? ’
“…… No. ”
……
When Carl took Jiaying to the rainforest as promised, Oakes easily used the Mind Gem to "heal" the darkness in her heart.
Jia Ying, who has regained her kind nature, repents of her past behavior, and cherishes her husband even more who has never given up.
And, the daughter who appeared in front of them next, Daisy Johnson, who had already gained the ability of "Shockwave".
"Thank you very much, Dr. Oakes."
After Jiaying and her daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while, they finally came to their senses.
"As the patriarch of the Inhumans on Earth, I assure you of my full support for your cause."
She bowed deeply to Oakes, as did Carl and Daisy.
"Patriarch Jiaying, the ability of the Inhumans is the result of genetic modification by aliens called Kree, so the mutation is unstable, and those like you who have not changed their appearance after mutation belong to the minority."
Oakes took out a box and handed it to Jia Ying, which contained a small acorn the size of a fingernail:
"This is an amulet I've created based on Daisy's genetic changes, and if any of you want to regain your original appearance, you can wear this close to you.
It can temporarily suppress the ability, and it can be taken down when it needs to be restored. ”
"This ...... It's so precious! ”
Jia Ying was overjoyed, carefully took the box, and saluted again:
"We will never forget your help to us!"
"Daisy is a nice child, and I understand the joy of your reunion, but please respect her own choice."
"Hey, you've finally said something to my liking."
Daisy squeezed her eyes and rubbed for a while:
"My acclimatization is not yet complete, can I let my parents stay here for a while?"
"You little girl......
Oakes smiled and nodded:
"Of course, there are guest rooms here in the small rainforest, you can ask Blaze to arrange it, there is still a fatal matter waiting for me to deal with."
"Something to the death?"
Skye was somewhat enlightened: "Pietro and Wanda? ”
"That's right, so you young capable people are the most troublesome,"
Oakes spread his hands, very helpless:
"While guiding you to use your abilities, you also need psychological counseling."
"I just found out today that I'm 25 years old!"
Daisy said disdainfully, "The two of them are only 26 years old!" You're not even 30 yet! ”
“…… I'm old-minded. ”
