[Comprehensive British and American] Shoebill stork is passing by

Stared blankly at him.

Shoebill stands in a world of ice and snow, quietly looking at the visitors in front of him.

Unlike the little fox, it didn't find a human form for itself, or didn't realize it could do that at all.

Charles looked around.

This is really not the inner world that a shoebill should have.

Perhaps because it was born in a laboratory, it never understood that it should live in a swamp, or other areas with similar climatic conditions.

In its memory, it has always belonged to the snow field.

Even if there is no food or something suitable to make a nest for it.

Charles walked into this ice field, while the shoebill remained standing there, motionless.

When he got closer, he found that the Shoebill stork turned its head and walked to the other side. Charles followed up and found that there were several ice statues behind it, where it could not be seen clearly in the distance.

Judging from the traces, it seems that the whalebill stork shoveled out its own beak bite by bite.

The usual battle attire of Iron Man and Batman is on the side.

There's also Captain America's shield, Red Hood's hood, Iron Man's helmet, and Batman's visor.

The everyday images of Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne are on the other side.

There are also White Leopard Leopard, Robin Bird and Bizarro that are about to be completed.

I searched again, and found that there were Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, probably because Batman didn't allow it to get too close to criminals, these two ice sculptures were hidden in the wind and snow.

It looks like a philandering shoebill stork.

Because Charles also found the Burke's parrot that was just starting to work.

Everything else is fine, but Taotao, probably because it is too small, has two scraps on the side, as if it was accidentally shoveled by Dadai.

Seeing that the humans stopped here, Daidai also came over.

"Da." It made a helpless rattling sound.

Although this is not strictly a language, in the spiritual world, Charles can still understand Dazed emotions very well.

It was quite helpless and annoyed by it.

"Can I help?" Charles asked.

He nodded his head in a daze.

So Charles raised his hand, clasped his fingers together, and a small carving knife that belonged to his memory appeared in his hand, he closed his eyes, and with the permission of the shoebill stork, slightly modified the decoration here—he Under the Taotao ice sculpture, a tall round table that is also an ice sculpture rises.

"This height is just right." Charles said, and began to carve.

Charles is not good at ice sculptures, and he is not even sure what he is doing is right, but this is a world of thinking, a miraculous space constructed by the mind, even if it is only in the most clumsy way, as long as the master Shoebill and him are sincere Want it, and they can get it.

An ice sculpture of a Burke's parrot that is not lifelike, but very cute.

The Shoebill is quite pleased with this.

On the surface it barely moves, and Charles would not have captured the subtle emotional changes if he hadn't entered the Shoebill's spiritual world.

Charles looked at the Shoebill.

"You like them very much," he said affirmatively.

Dadai also looked sideways at the human, nodded his head slightly, and then lowered his head to let Charles stroke its beak.During such interactions, Charles could feel that Daidai has a high affection for humans and is willing to be intimate with all humans.

"Okay, let's talk about business." Charles smiled and stroked the neck of the whalebill stork. "About Eric and Charlie, can you tell me what happened between them?"

The whalebill nodded.

Seeing that it was willing to cooperate, Charles was relieved.

His mutant ability is mainly aimed at humans and other intelligent creatures. For animals, because he cannot understand their thinking, it is difficult to communicate effectively.

Entering the spiritual world of animals is only to allow both parties to feel each other's emotional changes and thoughts that they are trying to express more clearly. At the same time, because animals and humans perceive the world differently, such induction does not necessarily mean can be an effective aid.

He still needs to find other ways to express himself and try to understand what the shoebill is saying.

So, Charles refracted the pictures in his memory to his surroundings.

A room appeared in the snowstorm, which was Professor X's office. Eric was sitting on the single sofa. On the coffee table, the cup was a glass set by a whalebill stork. .

"Why are you doing this?" Charles asked.

The shoebill walked over, stopped beside the coffee table and Eric, and looked around at them.

It tapped the glass with the tip of its beak, then tapped Eric's head.Charles could feel the shoebill seem to be pulling a thread between the glass and Eric's brain.

He tried to understand this.

"Eric loves them."

He nodded blankly, then tapped Charlie with the tip of the bird's beak, and then approached Eric, but did not tap Eric's head again, and it just stopped halfway.

The shoebill maintained this position and looked at Charles, hoping he would understand.

Charles was stunned for a while.

"You mean...Charlie wants to be liked by Eric too?"

Dadai nodded and shook his head, his little eyes showed entanglement and helplessness, the truth seemed to be more complicated, and Daidai didn't know how to express it.

After staying for a while, the Shoebill stork slapped Eric, and the sharp hook directly hit Eric's eyeballs.

Even knowing that it was just a projection of his mind, Charles still felt a pain in his eyes.

Seeing that Daidai led the "thread" to the cup this time.

"Eric... pay attention to this glass?"

He nodded blankly, and then indicated the direction of the little fox with his eyes.

Charles froze.

"You mean Charlie is squatting in the glass trying to get Eric's attention?" But if that's all, why not just say it?

Charlie is different from other animals, he can tell Charles, and then Charles will communicate with Eric.

His doubts were sensed blankly.

After thinking for a while, he spread his wings to cover his face.

"shy……?"

Dazed: ...

He shook his head blankly.

This time it tried to get between Eric and Charlie with its wings.

But Charles still didn't understand.

It thought for a while, and when there was no other way, it opened its mouth blankly and grabbed Eric's head, and turned away from Charlie, making it look like Eric couldn't see the little fox on purpose.

Charles:  …

Frightened.

Fortunately, there was no bloodshed. When the whalebill stork slammed Eric's eyeballs, Charles became active and imagined Eric as "Eric Dummy Classmate No. 180". Of course, the silicone dummy is not It bleeds when the neck is twisted [-] degrees.

……

…………

In the spiritual world, the speed of time flow is determined by thinking.

For others, it was just a blink of an eye. Charles had just pressed his finger on the beak of the Shoebill stork, and lifted it up after a while, showing a very helpless look.

Under Stark's questioning, Charles gave a simple explanation to everyone.

"That is to say, because Magneto often turns a blind eye to it, Charlie will do things?" Stark stroked his mustache and looked at Eric, "Know what I would think? It is still I really like you."

Otherwise, I wouldn't lose my temper because of Eric's ignorance.

"That is to say, it feels angry and at the same time wants to get Magneto's attention, so it frequently occupies Magneto's favorite glass." Bruce analyzed this matter, "Maybe Magneto used it to rub The thing about chasing the overstained glass because of it made Charlie think it was going to work."

"I guess so." Charles agreed.

So Eric's expression quickly became weird. He reached out and grabbed the little fox by the back of its neck, bringing it to his eyes.

Knowing that his thoughts had been exposed, the little fox shrank his paws, but looked a little depressed, and his ears drooped.

"This kind of thinking is only stuffed in my heart, but I just don't make it clear. Who did I learn from?" Eric stared at the little fox and asked in a low voice.

Charles:  …

Charles whispered, "I guess it's you."

Eric: ...? ? ?

"Pfft..." Stark couldn't hold back, turned his head, his shoulders trembled with laughter.

Bruce watched him die.

He began to wonder, how many people here still remember what they are here for?I'm not the only one who remembers, Taotao is the protagonist today, right?

Bruce, who had a headache, looked down and froze.

"Peach?"

Taotao is gone.

Taotao, who was still on the table just now, was about to sneak up on the fruit plate and disappeared.

"Don't move around, Taotao is gone." Bruce reminded others present.

Burke's parrots are too small, and the ones raised in captivity are not very smart. Often, small parrots are accidentally crushed to death by their owners when flying at home or playing with people because they are too clingy.

Stark was taken aback, stopped smiling, and immediately got up to look for it.

I looked through the pillows and blankets, and looked at the gap above the cabinet, and there were none.

"Peach?" Stark tried to call, but got no response.

Just when Stark was trying to rummage elsewhere, Bruce held him down and motioned him to see the whalebill stork. Xiao Taotao's whalebill stork, which was usually very nervous, didn't move at all.

Bruce: "Stay."

Dazed: ...?

The whalebill's eyes were a little confused, as if they didn't understand what these humans were nervous about.

Bruce: "Daddy, help us find Taotao."

Dazed: ...?

It seemed that the shoebill still didn't quite understand why Bruce said that, but it was willing to obey and bowed its head to the fruit plate on the coffee table.

On the plate are common grapes, peaches, apples, and bananas. Although they are all real fruits, the main purpose of putting them here is not to eat, but to increase the aroma of the house.

Charles looked at it for a moment, showing doubts.

"I only put one peach in."

That is, the other one is not a peach.

Stark was instantly annoyed.

"Peach!"

At such a close distance, the little guy must have heard his call, and ignored him!

"No more nuts tonight!" Stark said he was very angry, and the consequences were serious!

Taotao:! ! !

"Chirp!"

Hearing that the supper was gone, Taotao flew up in a hurry, kissing and talking, trying to trim the hair on Stark's temples, trying to win Nut Papa's heart back.

"No! Don't think about it! This matter is not so easy to pass!" Stark uttered a loud voice.

Charles looked at the remaining real peach, but still felt that something was wrong. He reached out to pick up the peach, and found that the skin behind the peach, where it was blocked by other fruits just now, had been torn off and the flesh had been eaten a lot.

"You know it steals it?" Charles asked the shoebill.

She stared blankly at him, then silently looked away.
