Chapter 59: Special? Or the four of good fortune
When talking about ancient Eastern philosophy, the word "Tai Chi" can never be avoided.
The Qingxiu secret room in the deepest part of the wolf's lair base was originally built by James specifically for himself.
The center of the circular ashram is divided into two by an S-shaped curve, which also cuts out the "yin and yang".
Professor Charles and Mrs. Emma Howlett sat opposite each other, right next to each other's eyes.
Between the two, a candle the size of a broad bean separated each other.
There was also a little candlelight floating in Emma's mental world, and I don't know if it was a small candle flame that quickly grew larger and expanded, or Emma herself became incomparably smaller.
In an instant, the candle flame "swallowed" the spirit of the White Queen......
"This is Xavier's ancestral home in West Chester, not far from the 'Super Inn'."
The dim flame of light filled the perceptual range of all psychic powers, and for a moment, the chirping of birds and the rustle of the breeze through the old oak trees flowed to Emma's ears.
The light in his eyes dissipated, and in front of him was a mansion with the new aristocratic architectural style of the last century.
Professor Charles, wearing a beige casual jacket, walked up to Emma with his hands in his pockets and explained.
「…… You've gone farther than I have in the realm of pure psychic power, and it's not just a simulated mental image."
Emma rubbed her palms and fingertips from side to side, took a deep breath, filled with the smell of earth and grass, and followed Professor Charles to push open the black wood door and enter the old mansion where even the walls of the living room had been converted into rows of bookcases.
It is not difficult to blind an ordinary person in the spiritual realm, so that he seems to be able to truly experience the various senses of the material world.
But let the "White Queen" also feel that everything here is real and not illusory, and it is no longer possible to rely on the strength of the spirit and will alone.
Professor Charles's psychic power has been touched to another level.
"I call this place the 'Spiritual Candle Heart Realm', and I don't hide my wife's jokes, this is to practice evolution with Mr. Howlett, and I have read a lot of ancient oriental books in the past few years of practicing meditation, and the name I have chosen is actually a bit nondescript."
The White Queen shook her head lightly and said seriously, "The professor is too modest, 'The essence, the spiritual world, even touches the level of the soul. I think your mind wave control is easier too, but 'Dark Phoenix, can you be brought into this realm so easily?'
Charles waved his hand, and the whole mansion twisted and twisted like a Rubik's cube, the dome, floor, and walls of the house were rearranged and combined, and the marble floor tiles under the feet of the two-step party were like flips, and they were re-entered into the private library of Xavier's mansion.
A young girl with black eyes and crimson hair seemed to wander around the room for some time.
"Look, ma'am, she's already here."
In the throne hall, James looked at Jean Grey, whose eyes were in a daze, and knew in his heart that Professor Charles and his wife Emma had already done it.
Facing Jean, who seemed to have dissipated the threat, James did not dare to relax at all.
He knew that once Emma and Charles' awakening actions in the mental and spiritual realm had an effect, this girl, who not only had an omega-level mutant rank, but was also strangely possessed by some great power, would instinctively try to destroy the enemy's body in the physical world.
At that time, it was necessary for James to be able to suppress the power of the Dark Phoenix with all his strength and ensure the safety of Emma and Charles.
[Crimson Chain] was still tightly bound to Qin's body, and flame-shaped energy flames flowed from the girl's body from time to time, and the crimson and near-black fire color was completely different from her previous power embodiment.
The threat of the Kree Empire, millions of light years away, always hangs over his head, but the trouble that caught him off guard is unreasonable "from the sky" James suddenly snorted self-deprecatingly, crossed his arms and whispered to himself:
"The big purple-skinned man hasn't waited yet, and the messy troubles haven't stopped, why don't you like to watch more movies at that time......
Cape Canaveral Launch Base, Florida.
The base is designed to cope
After the astronaut mission returns, the special separation chamber area where abnormal physical symptoms appear.
Victor Doom, the head of the Howlett Group's technology projects department, looked at Susan Stone, who was still unconscious in the hospital bed, and exhaled heavily, and the glass of the isolation chamber in front of him was stained with a white mist.
Looking down at his pair of black leather shoes handmade by craftsmen, the tips of the shoes lightly knocked against the wall, his eyes full of regret and regret.
Hidden beneath the launch base, there are several separate isolated square compartments scattered around.
Reed Richards, the head of the experiment, and astronauts Ben Graeme and Johnny Stone, who returned from the spacecraft "Space Laboratory", were also temporarily in a coma after being eroded by the deep radiation of the "Cosmic Storm".
"These guys should wake up soon, hehe, I'm curious what will become of them...... Tell me to go down and postpone or cancel my schedule as much as possible."
Victor Doom didn't care about the rhythmic poking of the high heels on the ground and the crisp sound of getting closer, but when the somewhat low but extremely magnetic and charming voice sounded, Doom nodded sideways and said:
"Miss Ophelia Green, long time no see."
The woman looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, but her demeanor was extraordinarily mature, only a few inches shorter than the tall Doom, her watery eyebrows and eyes were upturned, and a few strands of coiled blonde hair fell to her bright red lips.
A long green hip-wrapping skirt wrapped up the undulating and exaggerated body lines, and the slender waist like a water snake was particularly catchy.
"Director Doom, hehe, good luck, I thought that there would be such an unexpected surprise in the completely failed experimental mission, but unfortunately the degree of automation of that spacecraft is too high, and now the group's researchers and astronauts have too big a talent gap, otherwise they should really send more of them, after all-"
Ophelia Green licked her lips as she spoke, pausing and winking at Doom, who looked at the extremely glamorous group leader but hurriedly staggered her gaze and coughed lightly unnaturally.
"—after all, it's always good to have more test samples, and besides, I prefer to be called by my 'real name.'"
Doom nodded quickly, turned around and looked left and right at the unconscious people in the separation cabin around him, sighed meaninglessly, and couldn't help asking:
"Grid, Miss Viper, Susan and Richards, what is the probability that they will mutate steadily? What level of mutant do you think they can reach?"
For Ophelia Green, whose real name is "Viper", even if the water is Doom, a quasi-high-level who is qualified to attend the top meeting of the Howlett Group Empire State Building, he does not dare to slack off.
Even all those who knew anything about this young lady tried to keep a certain distance from her with all their own reason and will.
On the one hand, Viper, as one of the managers in charge of the group's extraordinary affairs, is already a cut above other high-level officials, and it can be said that it is second only to those who can call themselves members of the "Howlett family".
On the other hand, it is because of Ophelia's stunning beauty and unique mutant abilities.
"Fatal temptation, femme fatale."
This is the evaluation of the Howlett Group in private, and even in the entire transcendent world, about Ophelia the Viper.
"The words of the four of them... The probability of mutation is already 100%, the characterization of genetic transitions and metamorphosis has been very significant, and the increase of life energy is rapid and quite stable, which is also the most regrettable and strange place......
Viper took the metal tablet handed over by the assistant, looked at the blood samples and tissue analysis report of the four Reeds on it, and continued to say leisurely:
"The four of them have experienced the deep radiation of the cosmic storm, and the four of them have such an effect, um~ It's hard to say whether it's the reason for the storm energy or if a few of them are too special, hehehe, maybe Director Doom followed yesterday.. You can also gain extraordinary power!"
Victor Doom didn't know if the "Viper" who was a little closer had used her power, but he felt that his chest was inexplicably hot and his thoughts were a little chaotic, but Ophelia's final teasing really hit the most annoying point in his heart.
It's like the unwritten rules of the Howlett Group status hierarchy, only
It is a high-level business or technology field for the general public, and it is a head short in front of the managers in charge of the industry and business of the extraordinary world.
And almost all of them, like Ophelia the "Viper", are mutants or seromizers themselves, and they are more closely related to the Howlett family.
After Durm climbed to today's position, there was only one ambition that Leng An could think about day and night, and that was to become a transcendent being!
Therefore, he attaches great importance to the "Cosmic Storm" research plan proposed by Reed, if he relies on this experiment to "decipher" the secret of human genetic mutation, he can give priority to mastering the channel to obtain extraordinary power, and truly become the "noble" of this new world.
But Doom never imagined that he was actively waiting for the results of the research at the ground base, but not long after the four of them entered space, they were unexpectedly eroded by the storm energy.
After the spaceship returned automatically, the four of them underwent various physical tests, and soon found that their genetic sequences had an unusual abnormal mutation reaction, which was also taken over by Miss Ophelia, who was in charge of the group's "mutant gene laboratory".
For Doom, this opportunity was missed, and even if the follow-up of the experiment had results, it was hard to say whether it would be replicated again because of the "storm event" that was very strange and even alarmed the secret legion.
Doom was thinking wildly, and Miss Viper's tone was much more cautious, and she said with some seriousness as if talking to herself:
"Variant Level. Level hum~ They are not mutants who have been stimulated to mutate by the sandy side..."
"Not a mutant?"
Doom's voice suddenly rose a little, and he turned his head to stare at the viper's delicate face, much bolder than the way he had just looked away.
Ophelia didn't seem to be in the mood to tease Doom, and her expression was rarely serious.
"That's right, while they may have taken on various forms of physical alienation or supernatural abilities that look like mutants when they wake up, the four of them can't find any signs of 'X Gene' manifestation, that new gene chain trait... It's a completely unknown path..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young researcher trotted over to report that one of the "Storm Eaters" had awakened, and Miss Viper curled the corners of her mouth brightly and swayed her waist exaggeratedly.
Make your way to Dr. Reed Richards' separation pod.
