Chapter 34: Regret

"For Neanderthal Homo sapiens, his mutant distant cousin, Homo sapiens, was an aberration, and if they ever coexisted peacefully, it was short-lived. According to historical records, in any region, the arrival of mutant human species will lead to the extinction of the same kind with slow evolution, without exception......"

Li Lin was reading a report, and the beginning of the report had an indescribable cruelty.

This is the essay that Charles prepared to apply to the professor.

When Charles rushed into the study a little impolitely, he saw Li Lin sitting on a bench, leaning on the back of the chair and reading aloud to him with interest.

His clear eyes crossed the report to Charles.

"Charles, did you think about what other people would think about what other people would think about it, Charles?"

Although they have never met, the atmosphere of the first meeting between the two is quite good.

At least Li Lin thinks it's good.

"Well, I'm just stating the facts, after all, the facts are there, and what we can get out of them is the meaning of evolution and the ...... of reality How I never knew you were so young, I thought you were an old man like Machado. ”

Charles came over and took his professor's paper, and was surprised by Li Lin's youth just after two sentences, and he couldn't help but smile in surprise, and carefully looked at this old friend.

Li Lin is really young.

At first glance, he seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his temperament seems to be in his thirties, and when combined, it is impossible to determine his actual age, so he can only estimate an approximate one.

Charles, who often talks to Li Lin on the phone in subspace, is amazed by his knowledge, he seems to know everything, he can pick up any kind of topic, and can quickly turn those things into things that you don't understand, don't want to hear, and listen to too many things that are likely to be dangerous.

"I'm older than you think, but a young and healthy body can empathize better with ordinary people, and it also keeps me from showing too much in the face of some voices asking for help, although that's not what I wanted."

"That sounds really cool."

"So, Charles, do you think psionics will exterminate ordinary people?"

Li Lin changed the topic and returned to Charles.

His rhythm jumped a little, but fortunately, Charles, who often communicated, was able to keep up, and when he heard Li Lin ask such a sharp question, his first reaction was confusion.

Charles took a bottle of wine from the desk and poured a glass for Li Lin and himself. He sank deep into the sofa and began this face-to-face exchange in a more lazy and relaxed sitting position.

"Yes, I'm worried that psionics will destroy all mankind, Li Lin, the thing I've seen the most in the subspace since I was a child is how the souls of psionics self-destruct."

"Not every psyker is as lucky as me, with a good background, a good education, and good friends, and as long as they want, there is always something to sell them in subspace."

"And then there'......"

Charles with his forehead in his hand can't say anymore, he is a normal person, and the most important thing as a normal person is not to sail too far in the crazy world. He had tried to read the mind of a subspace corrupting psyker, and then Chaos had taught Charles a lesson about what it meant to be unreasonable.

Subspace is incomprehensible.

So Charles wanted to do something.

For himself, for his sister Raven, for the psionics, and more importantly, for the world, and for Li Lin.

Charles knew what kind of existence Li Lin was and what he meant to humanity, which Li Lin never hid from him.

After Li Lin helped him, he also wanted to help him, that's all.

"I'm so proud of you, Charles, and that's why I decided to come to you for a while, and I think you might be able to do things that I can't do properly."

Li Lin smiled slightly, looking at Charles, who was a little blushing, he knew the young man's mind in front of him, and he also revealed a little why he came to New York. Charles didn't fully understand Li Lin's words, but he didn't think it was a bad thing, Li Lin was willing to come to Xavier's mansion to live in seclusion and not cultivate the material world, but it was a good thing.

At least there are too many dissatisfied, and it would be better not to worry about what they should wish when faced with a God who will answer their needs.

"At least here, I'll let you live the life that normal people should live."

Charles is very confident in this.

He swore by his father's mansion that he had already raised a psionic anyway and wouldn't mind having another one at home. At least Charles felt that if Li Lin was willing to live here for the rest of his life, it would be a good thing for all mankind.

And the dream he had always had in his heart seemed to be coming true.

Charles quickly arranged the check-in, which he personally arranged.

Machado didn't want Charles to do that, but he insisted, as if there was any point.

When it was almost over, and only Macado was with him, Charles asked him thoughtfully.

"Li Lin, have you been trying to control the subspace?"

That kind of brilliance like the cold sun is making Li Lin strive to control the contact between the subspace and the material world, instead of spreading to the entire earth, the entire solar system, the entire galaxy, and the entire universe like a cancer. And Charles can clearly feel that after Li Lin listened to and fulfilled the wishes of many people, his part of being a human being became less and less.

It's like it's being consumed.

"He wasn't what he used to be."

Makado remembered Li Lin a long, long time ago, and then couldn't help but bow his head and sigh.

"Charles, the thing I regret the most is that I let Li Lin believe in human beings too much, I want to go over and make up for my mistakes, but ...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

"Grandpa Makado, are you alright?"

Charles hurriedly held the old man, lest he cough up the old bones when he coughed.

Although he knew that Makado was a psyker, and that he was an unusually powerful one, the old man's drooping appearance was not pretending.

Machado's soul is already close to zero.

It was completely Li Lin who tied him to his side to continue, Charles didn't know what kind of relationship the two had, but he felt that the two must be very good, so that Macado was willing to torture himself like this.

"I'm fine, it's just the same old mistake again. Charles ......"

"You'd better get some rest." Charles was a little anxious.

"Haha, don't use psionic energy on me, kid, your skills are still too shallow." Makado smiled and regained his toughness as he approached Charles and whispered in his ear. "Remember, Charles, don't trust others too much, you follow Li Lin, and you must always keep an eye on it."

In the corner of the hallway, a figure flickered away, seemingly unnoticed by anyone.
