Humanoids on the way to upgrade [Comprehensive British and American]

"I probably have a direction to investigate," Zoe said, "at least I know who I should ask for the truth."

Phoenix, she has been boarding on Zoe, she gave Zoe great power, and guided her to X Academy... Phoenix is ​​the source of everything.

"I hope to understand how my parents adopted me, why my genes are the same as Scott and Qin..." she said softly, "Where did I come from?"

"Jane is back, are you going to see her?" Charles said.

Zooey said firmly: "Of course I will see you."

It was still the principal's room, with many books on psychology and education on the well-crafted wooden bookshelves. Charles was sitting in a wheelchair. He opened the window to let the soft sunlight shine into the room, and the birds chirping stayed window frame.

He looked at the jumping birds and said, "I think your heart must be full of doubts." Charles turned his head and said to his beloved student, "but I think this is a wonderful fate. You should meet, I am I think so, and I'm glad Zoe thinks so too."

Jean's eyes were fixed on Zoe without blinking. They were really alike, and this feeling became more obvious when their eyes met.

Jean felt that Zoe was like a magnet, the power in her body was attracted by her, and it seemed that she was eager to get out of her body... And then a dark power filled the body...

Qin's face suddenly turned pale, and she took a few steps back, the spiritual cage that Charles had set up in his brain cracked a crack, and the dark power of the Phoenix overflowed.

"Professor!" Qin hugged her head and squatted on the ground, shouting in pain.

As soon as Charles' eyes changed, he immediately maneuvered the wheelchair to Qin's side, covered her head with his hands, and tried his best to mend the cage of his mind and suppress the restless Phoenix again.

The books and the floor around Charles and Qin quickly disintegrated and disintegrated into an atomic state, and it seemed that flying ash was flying around them.The principal's office was trembling. Objects such as teacups and computers that were far away from them were lifted into the air by invisible forces, and cracks like spider webs spread across the glass windows...

Zoe dodged the flying books and quickly came to Jean Gray's side. Red energy overflowed from her fingertips and wrapped around Qin's body. After a while, the violent dark power dissipated like this.

Jean fell to the ground in fear, Charles clutched his forehead, his expression was very painful, his wheelchair was broken, and the sleeves of his clothes were disassembled in half.

"It's back to normal!" Zoe said.

As if time was reversed, the floor, books, glass windows and even Charles' wheelchair and torn clothes were immediately restored, and the office was repaired by an invisible force.

"It wants to come out," Jean grabbed Charles' arm and looked at Zooey with complicated eyes. "It wants to break free from the cage...I can feel that it is ecstatic and can't wait to release itself."

"Because of me?" Zooey tilted her head, "You feel it, and I feel it too. You also have a phoenix inside you, right?"

"It's horrible, if you let it out, it will destroy me!" Jean tried to stand up, and Zoe reached out and grabbed her.

At the moment when their skins touched, Qin felt that the dark power in her body was ready to break the prison of her mind again. There was a strong attraction from this girl, and Qin couldn't help but want to get closer to her. It's like the instinct of two magnets attracting each other.

She let go of Zooey's hand like an electric shock.

"'It'? Why do you call intelligent life forms 'it'?" Zoe said strangely.

"Wisdom?" Qin's expression was delicate. "I've never felt wisdom in that thing. It's always full of destructive desires, like a beast that wants to break out of its cage and wreak havoc."

Zooey looked at Qin even more suspiciously, "Haven't you talked to her? With Phoenix."

"...No." Jean said in shock. "Did you talk to me?"

"We often chat." Zooey hesitated, and said, "I noticed that you can't control the Phoenix Force, do you often lose control?"

Jean said bitterly: "It makes me less like myself...it can make me out of control, and I almost killed my roommate in my sleep once."

"Can I talk to Jean alone, Charles," Zoe said. "I promise nothing will happen to Jean, and she won't get out of control again."

There was a deep thought in Charles' eyes, and he nodded, "I'm right outside the door, you can call me anytime."

The door of the office opened and closed automatically, and now only Zoe and Qin were left in the room.

"Can you come out?" Zooey lowered her voice and said angrily, "Isn't Jean Gray the reason why you asked me to come here?"

Qin's eyes were confused, "Who are you talking to?"

"Speak to a nasty ghost hiding in my body." Zooey gritted her teeth.

"How can you describe me like that?" Phoenix said dissatisfiedly, "I guided you here just to let you know the truth."

"Then tell me the truth!" Zooey said, "I hate your ambiguous attitude when you talk to me."

"I haven't seen Qin's face for a long time," Fenghuang suddenly sighed, "but the Qin in front of me is not the Qin I know..."

"What do you mean?" Zooey frowned.

"You hold that girl's hand," Fenghuang said, "connect her consciousness."

Zoe did as she was told.

A dazzling white light flashed in front of his eyes, and a terrifying sense of weightlessness swept over his whole body. Zoe and the pianist fell down hand in hand. After a few seconds, maybe a few minutes, their soles touched the solid ground.

They opened their eyes, and what they saw was a dilapidated ruin.

"This is... Academy X?" Qin asked incredulously.

The dilapidated ruins in front of me could vaguely identify the beautiful and retro school buildings of the past. The emerald green lawn and the camphor trees by the lake were gone, replaced by scorched soil.

There are several tombstones conspicuously standing on the side of the open space, with names engraved on them, and the names engraved on the two most conspicuous tombstones are - Scott Summers, Charles Xavier.

"What's going on here?" Zoe asked, "Why did you show us this illusion?"

Phoenix was wearing a dark red robe, holding a bouquet of white roses in her hand, standing in front of Professor X's grave, bent down and placed the bouquet on it.

"This is what Academy X looked like in my last memory." She said flatly.

Jean said, "That's impossible! How could the professor die? How could the school be like this?"

"This is really a long story." Fenghuang said softly, "It involves many people and many things."

"You should know the concept of multiverse and parallel universe, but what I want to tell is a story that happened in another world."

……

"When I first noticed Qin, she was only in her teens, but she was already the most powerful mutant on the planet. At that time, Qin was a very poor girl. She was awakened by the death of her friend. Mutant gene." Fenghuang said.

Jean Gray, who was standing beside her, frowned. She felt that the "Jin" in Phoenix's words did not refer to her.

"I, the Phoenix, am one of the most powerful and ancient beings in the universe. I am the embodiment of the primordial life force and emotional power of the universe. And the host I rely on must have strong psychic abilities, so that I can safely accept it. Otherwise, it will be destroyed by the dark part contained in my ability... The host who is not strong will not be able to suppress the hunger brought by the power of the phoenix, and become a victim dominated by desire... Qin is a victim."

"Jin awakened after the death of her friend. She can even communicate with the dead. She has been communicating with the dead friend to prevent her friend from going to the world of death." Phoenix said, "But this is impossible, death is everything Destination, Qin prevents her friends from going to the afterlife, she keeps wandering back and forth between the world of the living and the world of the dead, if this continues, Qin's soul will also be pulled to the realm of the dead...I stopped her."

"I stopped Qin and cut off her connection with friends, and Qin's life returned to normal... I have been observing her since then, and I found that she is very suitable to be my host, so I chose her. I Choose to descend to the earth, integrate with Qin, and become her strength."

"But I soon found out that I was wrong. Jean was afraid of me. My existence made her feel like a monster. She felt that she was too powerful and could lose control and hurt others at any time...Jean asked Charles for help. Charles It imprisoned me and prevented Qin from losing control." Fenghuang's voice carried a strange emotion, "But Qin is also wrong, she dare not accept me, and even prefers to imprison her own power... How could she resist like this? What about my erosion? I was deeply imprisoned in the depths of Qin's mind by Charles, absorbing the dark part of Qin's character and growing slowly."

"Then, she became a victim?" Jean Gray beside her was short of breath.

"You think it's just like that? No." Fenghuang smiled and looked back at Zooey, "I and Qin have merged into one, and my power caused her to have a split personality. Her second personality is inseparable from me. It can be said that she is me, and I am her. Later, Qin became more and more unable to restrain the second personality that wanted to run out all the time, and Charles couldn't do anything to her. The stronger the mental barrier he imposed on Qin's brain, The more her second personality wants to come out, the crazier she is."

"The result of this is obvious. Jean's second personality broke through the cage, and she manipulated my power to kill several X Academy mutants... and many other innocent people."

"No, you killed them." Zooey looked at Phoenix and said, "If you hadn't influenced her, she wouldn't have become so crazy."

"Maybe, I don't deny it." Fenghuang said frankly, "After all, Qin and I are one, she is me, and I am her."

"And then, what happened after that?" Jean asked.

"After that?" Phoenix said, "Afterwards, Qin regained consciousness for a moment... She couldn't accept that she had done such a terrible thing, and she committed suicide. I lost my host, became homeless, and finally left the earth."

"Is this the future you're talking about?" Qin's fingertips trembled, "Is the Qin in your mouth the future me?"

"I'm talking about the Qin of another world, the Qin of the parallel universe." Fenghuang sighed slightly, "You are not her."

"I left the earth during that time, and I didn't understand what happened there." Phoenix said, "Part of Qin's spirit has merged with me, and she influenced me. I have many hosts, but Qin and I The time we spend together is the longest. I watched her grow up, fight for the freedom of mutants, and see her have a lover... This feeling is amazing. When living with Jean, I feel that I Her emotions also change with her emotions. She loves the earth deeply, which undoubtedly affected me. Many years later, I was summoned back to the earth by an inexplicable force, and then I revived Qin.”

When Zoe heard this, she suddenly remembered that it was not difficult for Phoenix to summon the soul to the present world and revive the body.

"I don't have a big concept of time. I don't know how long I have been wandering in the universe, and I don't know how long I have been away from the earth. But there is no doubt that the earth has undergone very terrible changes after Qin's death. Because all the mutants disappeared..." Phoenix said, "There are only more than 100 mutants left in the world. They linger on, hide in Tibet, and live a precarious life. Qin is still so kind, she wants to save her compatriots , she wants to find out what happened."

"Jyn found Cyclops, her former lover."

……

"Tell me, I need to know." Jean stood in front of Cyclops, her expression very sad. "Everything has changed. Tell me why? What about our people? Who caused this?"

"It's Wanda," Cyclops said softly.

"She wanted to create a perfect world, so she used chaos magic to distort reality." He said, "Wanda got everything she wanted, she and Vision had a child, Magneto overthrew the human government, led the mutant People established a new regime, Captain America lived a peaceful life, Spider-Man had a happy family... everyone got everything they wanted, but it was fake."

"The only person who knows the truth of the false world is Logan, who awakened all the superheroes and marked Magneto's palace. They asked Wanda to put everything back on track... But she lost her mind again, and she said that mutants are All the original sins, so that there will be no more mutants in the world... Then," he sighed deeply, "there really will be no more mutants in the world, we are the last mutants."

"Where's the professor? Where's Magneto?" Qin asked anxiously, "Where did Wanda's brother Pietro go?"

"Professor and Pietro are both dead," Laser couldn't bear to look her in the eyes, "Magneto also lost his ability and became an ordinary person."

"This is wrong," Qin murmured, "The professor said that we are an inevitable stage of human evolution. How can there be no mutants in the world?"

"Jin!" Cyclops grabbed her shoulders tightly, "Mutants can't live without hope, you are our hope! Help the mutants, only you can make everything back on track!"

"...that's what I should do." Qin whispered.

……

"Then Qin has been looking for a solution... They tried to find the Scarlet Witch, but failed." Phoenix said lightly, "I think as long as Wanda wants to hide, no one in the world can find her."

"At this time, Qin suddenly had an idea... She thought that the reason why I was summoned to the earth was because the mutants lost their power collectively. Energy is conserved. Mutants lose energy, but these energies will not disappear out of thin air. , it was the lost power of the mutants gathered together to form a strong attraction that summoned me to the earth." A trace of sadness appeared on Phoenix's expression, "Then Jean made a decision...she wants to release all my energies, returning those energies back to the mutants."

"This is of course a stupid decision. She will lose everything, including her own life. We are one. I am inseparable from Jean. To release the energy, Jean must die."

"She decided to die so frankly."

"Wait, you said so much, but you didn't mention my life experience at all." Zooey couldn't help interjecting, "Who are my real parents?"

"Of course it's Jean and Cyclops." Phoenix said naturally, "After she was resurrected, she rekindled her old relationship with Scott, and then became pregnant with you. Cyclops is very contradictory. He obviously can't let his wife die, but he We can’t give up on the group of mutants either.”

"Did he finally make a choice?" Zoe asked, "Did he choose his wife, or his ethnic group?"

"He didn't make a choice, because that parallel universe was broken and no one survived, so there is no choice." Phoenix said indifferently.

"How could the parallel universe be broken? That's a universe!" Qin said in surprise.

"That's another story." Phoenix refused to answer, "I'll tell you when the time is right, Zoe."

"Since I was born in another parallel universe, why did I come here?" Zooey was puzzled.

"You were not born when the universe was broken, and you were still a fetus curled up in your mother's womb. Qin tried to use my power to prevent the universe from breaking, but she failed and was seriously injured and died soon. At this moment, I only have the last bit of strength left, She begged me to protect your safety, even if I exhausted the last bit of vitality...Facing her last request, I naturally have no reason not to agree. I burned Qin's body, took you out of her body, and swallowed Lost her remaining vitality to replenish energy, and then wrapped you with the power of the phoenix, and escaped from the cracks in the universe." She said, "In order to protect your safety, I can only send you to another stable parallel universe. It took a lot of energy out of me and I fell into a deep sleep afterwards."

"Can't you tell me why that universe is broken?" Zoe asked again unwillingly, "My parents really came from another parallel universe?"

"I don't need to lie to you." Phoenix stroked Zoe's hair. "You are like my child. I teach you and guide you, but I will never hurt you."

There was a warm and soft touch on the top of her head, and Zooey felt in a trance that her biological mother was watching her... Phoenix and Jean Gray, the two of them have almost merged into one, and they even affect each other spiritually. Qin's feelings are affected.

"Where are my parents in this world? Those two people who raised me," Zooey was still puzzled, "How did they adopt me? Why did they hide it from my aunt and relatives around me? "

"It's up to you to find the answer yourself. I've been asleep for many years, and I didn't wake up until recently." Fenghuang explained gently, "I can't help you, you have to find the solution yourself."

Zoe nodded.

"As for you," Fenghuang suddenly turned his gaze to Qin who was standing on the side, "You are not the Qin who has been with me for so many years, I am thinking about how to deal with the power of the Phoenix in you."

"I have never been fully assembled," she said softly, "my energy fragments are scattered in the multiverse, and even span countless different galaxies and galaxies. To be honest, that part of the phoenix fragment on you makes me salivate. Devour Without it, almost one-tenth of my ability can be restored."

Jean backed away warily.

"I'm the most distinctive of the scattered phoenix fragments," she explained in a gentle voice. "The dark part of me caused Jean to split her personality. Similarly, I also absorbed her emotions, and Gradually learned to use human expressions. I am the one with the closest thinking and feelings to humans among the scattered phoenix fragments, and I am the core of the entire phoenix.”

Phoenix said: "I can give you a chance to think about it. Anyway, you can't control the power of the Phoenix on your body, am I right? It is a huge hidden danger in your body. You may lose control at any time. You can lose control at any time. It may hurt others. You should feel it. Today, there is a crack in the spiritual cage that Charles placed for you. It wants to break free from you. Instead of waiting for you to lose control and I will subdue you and then take out the phoenix fragments, it is better to take the initiative to open it. Leave it to me. You don't want it anyway."

Qin silently looked at Fenghuang.

"I'll give you a chance to think about it, and tell me the answer when you think about it." She said calmly.

……

Zooey opened her eyes and found that she was still standing in Charles' office, and she was still holding Jean Gray's hand.

Phoenix told them a lot of things in the hallucination space, and Zooey felt that she had been there for at least an hour, but when she woke up, she looked at the wall clock in Charles' office and found that only 5 minutes had passed.

Communication at the level of thinking is much faster than communication in the real world. If you are a master of psychic abilities, it is not difficult to control the time flow of the thinking world.

At this moment, Jean Gray also opened her eyes, and she looked at Zooey complicatedly, without saying anything.

They let go of their hands, each with their own thoughts.

When he walked out of the principal's office, Charles was waiting in the corridor outside.

"Has the discussion come to fruition?" He looked at the two red-haired girls with similar looks with caring eyes.

"We probably already know the reason," Zoe squeezed out a forced smile, "I'm sorry, although we know the reason in our hearts, we can't tell you the answer due to certain things."

Qin glanced at Zooey, then at Charles, and hesitated to speak.

Professor X is the person she admires the most, so she is naturally unwilling to hide anything from him.

But Zooey didn't want outsiders to interfere in this matter, so she didn't intend to explain to Charles.

"It's okay, the answer is not important, but the result." Charles' blue eyes were full of tolerance. "These are two different concepts, and I can understand them."

"Thank you very much," Zooey showed him a sincere smile this time, "I can probably understand why so many mutants follow you and regard you as the leader of mutants."

Charles smiled lightly, "Then I'll take your words as a compliment."

"When I first came here, I told you that my main purpose of coming here was to find my cousin," Zoe said, "If possible, I want to start now."

"Of course, any time." Charles said immediately, "I'm glad I can help you."

"I heard that there is the largest and most advanced brain wave amplification device in the world," Zoe said, "Can I go and see it?"

Charles lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then smiled slightly: "Come with me."

There are too many doubts and puzzles in Zoe's heart, and there are too many questions to be pursued. Why did the universe she was born in be broken?

But Zooey is currently facing too many troubles, and there are too many things to be solved, and she has to solve them one by one.

The author has something to say: private establishments are as numerous as mountains, and second establishments are everywhere.

The setting of the Phoenix has a core, and Zoe's body is that the fragments of the Phoenix are scattered in the parallel world of the multiverse.The phoenix on Zoe has the same emotions as humans.

Phoenix and Qin are already in the ultimate state, Phoenix is ​​her, and she is Phoenix.

The world view described by Phoenix in this chapter is actually a mixed world view of many comics such as the M royal family and the X-MAN movie. The timeline runs around and there are many private settings.
