Winter Soldier

"Ah..." The Winter Soldier suddenly sat up from the bed, his face was covered with sweat, and he was panting violently. He was awakened by the weightless fear of falling off the cliff from the train in his dream, and swallowed his saliva Relieving his dry throat, the Winter Soldier calmed down his panic and slowly returned to his senses.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was only past two o'clock. He raised his hand and straightened the hair hanging down in front of his face. He took a deep breath, turned on the desk lamp, and took out the diary in the drawer beside the bed. , Write down the words "train, carriage, snow mountain, falling cliff, Captain America", and turn over the first few pages, all of which record the disordered memories he found, some are descriptions of scenes, and some are just a short word.

The Winter Soldier is still tormented by fragmented and disjointed memories, and he will have a splitting headache at any time due to sudden fragments, but he never thought of giving up.

That was his past, and he had the right to know everything, good or bad.

Feeling that Lin Yan in the thinking world has also woken up, Dong Bing licked his lower lip helplessly, pursed his mouth, and felt a little apologetic in his heart. He knew that Lin Yan was awakened by him again. This has been a nightmare in the middle of the night for a week Every night, the Winter Soldier struggled to wake up sweating profusely from different nightmares.

Since Lin Yan visited the Xavier School for Gifted Teenagers in Westchester, New York last week, with the enthusiastic help of the mature and wise Professor X, who has a handsome appearance that does not match the youthful appearance, both Lin Yan and the Winter Soldier have gained a lot. Vaguely sensing each other's status is one of the results.

A while ago, Lin Yan, with his sharp skills and superb disguise and infiltration skills, frequently touched the secret scientific research institutions of the government, military, and business circles, trying to find fish in a haystack, looking for clues to solve the problem of one body and two souls.

As a result, Lin Yan discovered another novelty in this world in a pile of confidential materials—mutants, new humans who carry the X-mutant gene, evolved on the basis of humans, and possess all kinds of strange abilities.

This reminded Lin Yan of a strange man with long bone claws that he met when he was on a mission. The mission is over, I only met the bone claw man once, otherwise, there may be more useful clues.

But luck soon came to Lin Yan.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yan returned empty-handed from the archives of a certain genetic research institute and was on his way home.Chaos, violence, looting and arson are everywhere at night in Brooklyn, the most chaotic neighborhood in New York in the 70s.

Lin Yan was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and the big hat covered most of his face. He walked past the drunkards and drug addicts who fell on the ground and walked quickly in the dark and narrow alley with his head down.

Suddenly a sharp child's voice caught his attention. How could a child appear in such a dangerous place at such a late hour? Lin Yan stood upright, listened carefully, and then turned directly to the source of the sound.

In a narrow alley more than two people wide that is difficult to find more than ten meters away, three young gangsters are holding wooden sticks and confronting a boy about ten years old. "Devil, kill you, you are a devil", but strangely dare not go forward, the little boy was obviously frightened, kept backing and crying, but raised his hands high in front of his chest, holding a burning candle in his hand The lighter, as if trying to resist the atrocities of the gangsters.

Seeing this, Lin Yan stepped lightly, and slowly approached in the dark shadows. After he was going to knock out a few gangsters, he retreated quietly, leaving no trace of haunting here.

Suddenly a gangster seemed to be crazy, shouted "devil" hysterically, and slammed the wooden stick at the boy.

Not good, Lin Yan didn't care about hiding his figure, and quickly exerted his strength, raised his legs and kicked at the gangster, but he didn't expect that the little boy suddenly exploded at a critical moment, and a ball of flame more than half a meter high rose from his hand, and threw it at the gangster. The 230-pound man was knocked into the wall more than two meters away, and he fainted to the ground. The remaining two gangsters backed away in fright, screaming "devil", while rolling and crawling run away.

Lin Yan shrank his legs and hid aside, looking at this amazingly destructive little guy in surprise. The little boy seemed to be frightened by his own violent flames, and stared back and forth at his hands in a daze.

This is a fire-breathing mutant. Lin Yan was full of surprises. He had only been thinking about the ability of mutants for a few days, and a small mutant was sent to us. He lacked the gap to enter that novel world.

Lin Yan didn't go home, it was too conspicuous, he half-baited and half-guided the little boy, and went straight to a dilapidated, dilapidated house nearby that he had already explored for a long time.

I tried to ask a few questions, but unfortunately the boy was like a frightened clam shell, extremely defensive, with his lips tightly closed, and he didn't say a single useful word, only saying that his name was John.

Lin Yan had nothing to do with the child, so he dug out two boxes of milk and a few biscuits from the reserves that had been hidden here long ago, put them in the boy's hand, and then lay down by the wall to rest, preparing to do it again tomorrow. Intend.

It's a pity that the plan was not as fast as the change. Early the next morning, the old house welcomed two visitors.

…………………@@@@@@…………………

"Tuk Tuk Tuk", a polite and rhythmic knock sounded on the door, as if the visitor was not in a chaotic and dilapidated slum, but at the door of a peaceful and wealthy middle-class family, gentleman and polite.

Lin Yan stared at the door, relaxed his left hand that was touching the gun, and shouted: "Come in, the door is unlocked."

The door of the room opened in response, and a gentle Caucasian young man wearing glasses walked in pushing a wheelchair. Lin Yan was attracted by the blue-eyed young man on the wheelchair.

He thought to himself, he is really a man like the sea, with the same blue beauty, tranquility and deepness, and the same calmness contains turbulent waves, but he doesn't know how it will erupt. As soon as he met him, Lin Yan was keenly aware of this look. There is a powerful force in the body of this elegant and thin man.

Lin Yan was secretly vigilant, and stood calmly in a favorable position with both offense and defense. With a light flick of his right hand, he protected the boy who was awakened and couldn't figure out the situation.

The man in the wheelchair smiled and broke the deadlock first, "Hello, I am the principal of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Charles Xavier," looking at Lin Yan with sincerity in his blue eyes, silently Tell the host's friendliness and sincerity.

Lin Yan stared deeply into his eyes, examined it, and then nodded in approval, "Hi, Principal Xavier. I don't think there are any students of yours here."

The smile on Charles' handsome face deepened, and he explained slowly with a slight London tone: "Sir, I don't intend to pry, but some people are born with some talents given by God, no matter good or bad, they need to accept, we are helping those People master talent, and the little boy behind you needs our teaching."

He slightly turned his head to look at the boy hiding behind him, "Son, I felt your ability burst out yesterday, such a huge power needs guidance and help. Come on! Child, you are not alone, there are many others who have outstanding abilities too. The talented partner is there, looking forward to your joining."

Lin Yan listened silently, without interfering at all, while his mind was spinning rapidly, a partner with the same talent! ?Could it be a mutant gathering place, a mutant school?He was secretly excited by this guess.

Feeling that the clothes were being gently pulled off, Lin Yan wondered, and looked down, the little boy was full of anxiety and hesitation, clutching the corner of his clothes in his hands, seeking support for this kind heart who once saved him people.

Lin Yan is always hard-hearted when dealing with children.

"Well, goodboy," Lin Yan knelt down, looked at the boy with a smile and comforted him, "Although I don't know them well, they seem to be your kind, go try it! Life without companions is missing , I will go to school to visit you."

"Is it possible? Mr. Principal." Lin Yan turned his head and asked with raised eyebrows at the man in the wheelchair. He wanted to take this opportunity to further search for mutant abilities that would be helpful to him.

"Of course, you are welcome to visit at any time. The school gate will always be open for you." Charles always hoped that more people would come to understand the life of mutants.

In the end, the little boy still left with the two visitors, and went to what they called the mutant gifted school.

Lin Yan also agreed on a time to visit the school.

……………@@@@……………

Three days later, Lin Yan set foot on the lawn of Xavier Talent School, looking up, this is really a beautiful English-style castle, showing a delicate and soft style under the sunlight, inadvertently exuding a profound and elegant charm polished by time, Against the backdrop of the surrounding tall trees and large green grasslands, it is more relaxing and comfortable, like a paradise shielding all worldly troubles.

This will be a good school.

Looking at Hank, a gentleman with glasses standing at the gate of the castle who greeted him early, Lin Yan, who came hastily without saying hello, knew in his heart that he had done research in advance, and he already knew that this school had the most powerful humanoid scanner in the world. Yi - Professor X.

I visited the living and learning environment of the little boy John, and talked a few words with him. In fact, he and the boy only knew each other for one night, and there was nothing to talk about.

Lin Yan went to the principal's office led by Hanke.

After thinking about it, Lin Yan decided to ask Professor Charles straight to the point. After all, what he needs is help, and probing too stealthily may cause unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.

In fact, this decision was very wise. Faced with Lin Yan's half-truth and half-false probing inquiries, the young Professor Charles seemed much more enthusiastic and candid.

"Colin, I am the best expert here when it comes to the fit of spirit and body." The young professor sat relaxed on the wheelchair, with a casual expression revealing a touch of confidence and pride. He smiled easily, "My ability It’s about the human spirit and thinking.”

"Then what do you think of two souls in one body?" Lin Yan continued to probe with ease on the surface, concealing his nervous expectation with lightly crossed hands.

The blue eyes as deep as the sea glanced at the other person's expression, and Charles realized a little bit. Out of respect for personal privacy, he would never invade other people's brains unless necessary, which would make him feel a lot less expectation and desire in life. pleasure.

"The brain is the most mysterious place in human beings. I think everyone's brain is as complex as the mystery of the universe. The world is so big, and there are many wonders that we don't know or encounter." Charles admitted that he had never encountered such a situation .

Lin Yan was a little disappointed and remained silent. Doesn't a powerful spiritual mutant like Professor X not know of his situation?

Watching the young professor slowly turn the wheelchair to the window, looking at the children laughing and playing on the green field in the distance with a smile on his face, there is undisguised satisfaction and pride on his body.

I don't know whether it's because the wind in the castle is too gentle, or Professor Charles's smile is too open-minded and tolerant. In short, Lin Yan's tight strings are slowly relaxing in the innocent laughter of the children.

Perhaps, you can try to trust this young professor who is full of gentleness, and if you say a little more, it may be helpful.
