[Comprehensive Yingmei] The Adventures of Xiaoyu

After Charles said those words, there was a dead silence in the hall.Hank bowed his head in silence, Logan seemed hesitant to speak, and Xiaoyu looked left and right and finally said nothing.The young Magneto didn't show any face to his old friend. He sat on the couch with his legs crossed, his thin lips parted to both sides, revealing his white and neat teeth... He looked quite like a shark.

Slightly brutal.

"Charles, you in the past wouldn't refuse people who asked you for help." He sneered, "Why, the older you get, the more withdrawn your character is?"

"To shut up!"

Magneto ignored Charles' ferocious face, his smile disappeared, and his tone and expression became extremely calm, "You gave up your ability in order to be able to walk, and then..." He looked at the corners of the hall. The wine bottle and the smell of wine on Charles, mocked, "Now you have degenerated into an alcoholic again?"

"A selfish, cowardly, and evasive alcoholic." Magneto said word by word, gnashing his teeth.

Charles was irritated by his attitude. He took a step forward and grabbed Magneto's collar tightly. Looking at his familiar face with disgust, he also gritted his teeth and said, "Not only did you abandon me, you also took Abandoned her, and then abandoned me!!" After speaking, he couldn't control his emotions and yelled at him.

Except for Charles and Magneto, no one in the hall dared to make a sound, Kuaiyin silently ran to Xiaoyu's side and escaped from the center of the 'vortex'.

"Angels, Red Devils, Emma, ​​Banshees...the brothers and sisters of the mutants are all dead!" As Magneto suppressed the voice of anger and hatred, all the metal objects in the hall floated "There are countless people who were killed Used as an experiment, after being disembowelled... where were you at that time!?

"We should protect them well, where were you when your fellow citizens needed you!!—you and Hank hid...you abandoned us all!" The floating metal objects gradually subsided, Magneto Every word of his words turned into a sharp knife and pierced into the heart of Charles, who had been evading.

Charles's sea-blue pupils were full of pain and self-blame, Eric was right, he escaped, he left them... Charles turned and ran to the second floor.

Hank got up and wanted to catch up, but was held back by Xiaoyu, "It's useless for you to go there now, let him stay by himself for a while." For the first time, the big girl who had been acting like a child showed her calmness in front of them expression.

There was a brief moment of dead silence in the hall.

"If we want to arrive in France before the meeting, we should be ready to leave now." Hanke glanced at everyone and said, "We have a private jet." It means that they can waste a little more time.

Eric and Logan remained silent, and Kuaiyin glanced at them without saying anything.Xiaoyu shrugged and said, "I'll go up and try."

Watching Xiaoyu go upstairs, Eric looked at Hank, "She's Charles' sister? When did it happen?" Why didn't he remember that Charles had a sister...

"The daughter adopted by the Xavier couple, but she went out for an adventure a few years ago. This time Logan came back from the future, and the two brothers and sisters recognized each other." Hank explained.

"Is she also a mutant?" Ability is to drive the shadow?This ability is not bad.

"No, she's just an ordinary person. ... Well, at least she's not a mutant."

In front of the study on the second floor, Xiao Yugang was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was only ajar, so he stretched out his hand and pushed it open.

Different from Xiaoyu's memory, this study room has been transformed into a place like the principal's office. The door is facing a desk, and Charles and Hank and some young or young people are hanging on the wall. Photos of the children that look like 'class pictures'.

The person she was looking for was half lying on the sofa next to the desk, which should have been used to entertain students or other teachers in the past.

Xiaoyu swallowed the words 'Charles, we are leaving for France', and then knocked on the open door, "Charles, may I come in?"

Hearing Xiaoyu's voice, Charles, who was trapped in his own world, woke up. His sea blue pupils went from a trance to sobriety, "Are you going to leave? I'll be right here."

Xiaoyu walked in, sat on the sofa opposite Charles, and signaled him not to worry.

"I've met many mutants in recent years." Xiaoyu made a look of wanting to have a long talk with Charles.

"Most of them don't live very well, being disgusted, feared, mocked..." she said slowly.

"Over the years, I have seen a lot of misery inflicted on mutants... being eaten as mermaid meat, being burned at the stake as a demon or a witch, being sold or used as a commodity and a tool—"

Charles clasped his hands tightly, his fingertips turning white.Yes, this is what he has seen and heard all the time - pain, anger, hatred, despair... Too many complex and negative voices entered his brain, and he couldn't bear them, his ability now It can only bring him pain.

So he chose to escape.

"Some mutants are hopeless, some mutants don't even know what hope is, but there are still a large number of mutants who yearn for salvation every moment." Xiaoyu closed her eyes, as if recalling something "Three years ago, it was almost after I escaped from the mouths of those 'dinosaurs'. I was passing by a small town in West Virginia, and I was going to take a rest there and then go directly to continue my archaeological adventure around the world... "

"That small town is a small well-known tourist town. The total population of the town is only 5000, and nearly one-fifth of them secretly believe in the red god Sucher Paba. They firmly believe that God can bring the dead back to life, as long as They offer sacrifices that are enough to represent sincerity... yes, they are mutants with special abilities."

Xiaoyu didn't pass by that small town by accident. The thirteenth district detected the presence of demons there. She was enjoying a short vacation in the United States at that time and she personally led the task.

She deliberately investigated the disharmony in the town, and then she found out the ugly sacrificial ceremony in the dark.

"Thirteen mutant children, the oldest is only 11 years old, the youngest is only six years old, seven girls and six boys." Xiaoyu got up, turned around and bought two glasses of water for himself and Charles. "When I found them, there was only The next three children and ten rotten bones." Xiaoyu's steady voice began to tremble.

"Every seven days, a child is sacrificed. They need the blood and flesh of these children. After each time, they will throw the body among those children again."

Hearing this, Charles clenched his hands tightly, Xiaoyu closed his eyes, calmed down the negative emotions rising in his heart, and continued, "Even though the room is well ventilated, the rotten smell of the corpse is still pungent."

"I rescued them, but none of them survived. Because of staying with highly decomposed corpses for a long time, coupled with psychological factors, the two girls died of illness not long after, and there was an 11-year-old boy who was one of them. The eldest of the two girls committed suicide not long after the two girls died of illness."

Charles covered his ears at some point, and was very resistant to everything Xiaoyu said—he didn't want to hear such a cruel reality.

"Just because you don't want to hear it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" Xiaoyu growled, because of Charles' evasive attitude. "What happened to them is not unique, every moment, maybe even as we sit here talking, there is a mutant suffering!"

Xiaoyu looked at Charles' painful expression, her emotions gradually eased, she put her hand into the pocket of the windbreaker, hesitated for a moment, then pulled it out, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Charles." Charles looked up at her subconsciously, wondering why Xiaoyu will apologize.

"...I took it for granted just now." Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "Maybe I said such things because I still regarded you as that 'Professor X'."

"It's not your duty, I take it for granted." She repeated, as if muttering to herself, "Okay, anyway, let's finish what's in front of us first, they should be waiting, let's hurry down." , she got up and left the study.

Charles watched Xiaoyu's leaving back, and he got up and went downstairs after she was out of his sight.He didn't know what to do. On the one hand, he felt the pain caused by the mutant ability, and on the other hand, he felt guilty for the suffering mutants that he might be able to save.

future--

The sound of the phantom cat's tired breathing and the dead silence surrounded this slightly dark and simple secret room.

"Xiaoyu, she..." Charles thought for a long time before making up his mind to ask Nila about Xiaoyu.Nila took off the necklace hanging around her neck and handed the necklace to Charles, "This is a photo taken more than 40 years ago, when she was only in her 20s."

Charles recognized Xiaoyu from the two yellow people at a glance.

Her smile overlapped with the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in the distant memory, this is his sister.

"Xiaoyu died three years ago, from..."

Nila closed her eyes, but in the end she still couldn't say the remaining half of the sentence.

Her old face was covered with tears, and there was a trance in her cloudy eyes. She wiped away the tears on her face and said to Charles, "After I saw it for a few hours, you said you saw your past self, I I want you to pass on a message to Xiaoyu from the past."

Charles froze for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

"Tell her: Don't be manipulated by your emotions."
