Temptation on the tip of the tongue

"I don't like this." Chen Xiaoxiao turned around and roared: "I told you, I don't like this!"

Elijah looked at her quietly, reached out and patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her: "Okay, don't be afraid."

"You don't want to be afraid anymore, do you? The best way to get over your fear is to conquer it. I know you're afraid of being isolated, but you've got to win."

Chen Xiaoxiao almost smashed the paper stick in her hand: "I told you, I will accompany you to draw! You can draw whatever you want!"

Her hands were shaking.

Everyone looked at her, she was familiar with that look, it was the look of looking at a traitor.

Elijah's expression was very calm: "Are there three too many? But it doesn't matter, they are not as powerful as you. If you want, I can give you a knife, but just remember not to tell brother."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to add something more than enough: "He doesn't like the test subject to be injured."

Chen Xiaoxiao knew that the paper stick in her hand was useless at all, it was just a symbol of peace and war, and this kind of thing would be broken as soon as it came up.

Chen Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, "You know that, right? I was also forced in by him, just like you."

The eyes of the woman standing opposite her were blue from lack of sleep: "No."

"You don't have a number on your neck, and you don't wear a prison uniform. On the contrary, you have neat hair and gorgeous clothes like a noble lady."

Chen Xiaoxiao was cornered by them.

She knew that these were three strong mutants, and they could come in because they defeated the last tester like her and killed the traitor.

Or in the woman's words, execution.

The testers will not hold the instruments to control the mutants in their hands, only the staff have this right.

If the staff does not come to the rescue, the tester will be replaced.

Elijah stood by and said softly, "I won't let them really hurt you. As I said, it's just a game."

Chen Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, unwilling to look at those eyes again.

If Teddy was here, she must not be alone.

Tony's words echoed in her mind:

"You have to get used to being alone. People who try to protect others are lonely. Even if we have friends, organizations, and lovers, we will still be left alone in the end. Maybe God likes it that way."

No, no, Mr. Stark.

I don't want to protect others.

I'm just a coward with fear, I don't have your courage.

"Then where does your courage come from, Mr. Stark?"

In that dimly lit forest, she once asked.

The person in front of her laughed, the eyes so bright against the fire: "Maybe it's just because I'm a heartless bastard, a self-righteous idiot, a fool with a high IQ. Fools always think they can get things done .”

Chen Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, trying to recall those things that could calm her down, but she couldn't.She really hoped that if Mr. Stark had said something she could understand that day or something she could recite several times, that would be fine.

Elijah's voice rang in his ears again: "Open your eyes when you're ready, okay?"

--------

Tony immediately stepped forward and grabbed Brandon's shoulder: "Are you crazy? This way your brother will die! Brandon, take them out and don't let them play such a dangerous game. Are you not Take care of Elijah? You just let him go in and play this dangerous game?"

Brandon said calmly, "If I take him out, he won't be happy."

As he spoke, he pointed to the thing in Elijah's hand: "See that? We made a controller for mutants. Although those bastards are powerful, they have weaknesses. He won't get hurt."

Tony wrung his fingers into his hair, calmed himself as much as he could, and talked him into words Brandon could hear: "Don't you know they're dangerous? If you expose your brother to them, he'll be hated." Maybe you will be retaliated against, right? In any case, let your brother come out first, okay?"

Brandon turned around and gave him a surprised look: "I didn't expect you to be worried about Elijah. I thought you always disliked him."

Tony roared: "Because I don't want to rebuild the third district again because of your madness! You fucking listen to me, I have enough things, if I have to repair all of them because of the death of a brat , I will kill you, understand, I will kill you!"

Brandon shrugged: "You may not know, our equipment is very advanced. Elijah will be fine, it's like a child playing with a toy knife."

Tony quickly pressed the button on his wrist, and strode towards the laboratory: "Listen to me, I will definitely not deal with your lunatic's affairs, and you won't take him out? Very good, I will go in."

The watch on the wrist quickly turned into a steel glove, and the first door of the laboratory has been forcibly opened.

Brandon's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to catch up with him, took the blow from the steel glove with his bare hands, and shouted sharply: "Don't tell me you have regrets for that child."

Tony's movements stopped.

Brandon said word by word: "You remember clearly, she is my brother's toy, even if she died, I can't blame you, Mr. Superhero."

"No one will know that you brought her back, and your name remains clean."

"Or is she special to you?"

Tony stared hard into his eyes.

Is it right to sacrifice one person for the sake of the many?

Tony said, "You think too much."

Brandon sneered: "Then prove it to me, Mr. Stark. I ask you to stand here the whole time and see whether she loses or wins."

----------

Chen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.

She knew that from the moment she opened her eyes, the game had already begun.

A tall woman, a short, fat man, and a blind man.

The tall woman had disheveled hair and a malevolent gleam in her narrow eyes; the fat man looked at her with terror.

On the contrary, the blind man had a refined temperament, but he found a place to sit down since he came in, and he didn't look like he wanted to participate in the struggle.

Chen Xiaoxiao knew that she needed Elijah to trust her, at least to trust her to be completely helpless, so that he could stop this senseless behavior.

Whether she loses or wins, the test subjects in the entire three districts will remember that she is a traitor, and she has nothing to fear.

The woman's arm suddenly turned into a hard stone, and it slammed down on Chen Xiaoxiao's head!Chen Xiaoxiao hid faster than her, she punched the wall, the solid special glass was not damaged at all, and the strength of the rebound made her suffer a lot.

Chen Xiaoxiao tried to kick her waist, legs, and abdomen, but failed. Instead, the pain from kicking on the stone made her suffer a lot.

The fat man seemed to be very afraid of her. As soon as she approached, he would immediately stretch out his hands infinitely long to push her away. Although he was typing hard, he staggered and hid in the corner.

The blind man kept his eyes closed and sat quietly, as if he was recuperating.

The woman's fists kept falling around her body. Chen Xiaoxiao had no way to fight back except to hide. She was very fast. Although she couldn't hurt the woman, the woman would definitely not be able to hurt her.

The fight between the two is completely equal, and neither of them can go further.

The woman sneered, gave up the continued struggle with her, turned her head abruptly, and turned to the timid fat man in the corner.

"stand up."

The woman spoke.

"stand up!"

This time it was roaring.

Seeing that the fat man was still groaning and hiding in the corner, the woman suddenly raised her wrist and slammed the wall next to his head hard!

A huge depression appeared in the wall.

The woman sneered, "Stand up and kill that traitor with me."

The fat man was obviously terrified, he immediately stumbled to his feet, and suddenly rushed to Chen Xiaoxiao's side, opened his arms, and hugged her!

Chen Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to hide, but the fat man's arms stretched infinitely, clumsily surrounded the surroundings, and quickly tightened them!

The fat man began to cry timidly while tightening his arms: "Don't hit me, I'm afraid of pain..."

Chen Xiaoxiao's strength is extraordinary, but his arms are firmer than steel, but a kind of extremely resilient tightness. Chen Xiaoxiao struggled desperately in his arms, but in the end she couldn't move.The woman squinted her already narrow eyes, raised her hard fists, and walked over.

Her mouth was crooked, and now she opened her mouth and spat out a word contemptuously: "Traitor."

Then, he raised his fist and punched Chen Xiaoxiao's head fiercely!

However, in the next moment, the fat man let out a scream, blood spurted from one arm, and the long arm crashed to the ground!

Unable to hold back her fist, the woman punched the fat man in the face, deforming his head!

Chen Xiaoxiao rolled and escaped from the fat man's armpit. Three white claws resembling bone spurs grew out of her right hand, and they were dripping blood.

She quickly tripped the woman to the ground, and stepped on the woman's chest with a fist!

The woman squinted her eyes and grinned crookedly: "You think you won?"

The sharp claws on Chen Xiaoxiao's hand approached her cheeks, with a ruthless look on her face: "I know, you can break my bones with your hands, or smash my head with your head, but you Better be cautious."

The sharp claws approached the woman's eyes: "Everyone has weaknesses."

"If you want to do something to me, I will drag you to be buried with me."

The woman was stunned for a moment, seeing the gloomy and terrifying expression on the girl's face, she was frightened by that aura.She stopped still, lay on the ground and looked at Chen Xiaoxiao: "You won."

"But you lost too. Because I will remember you. Everyone here will remember you."

"You'd better pray that the war never ends, or you'll never have a foothold."

Chen Xiaoxiao let go of her, and looked at Elijah sweating profusely: "Is it over?"

Elijah smiled happily at her.

She hated that smile so much, she wished she could get rid of his smile.

Elijah said, "You hear me? You have no place to stand. No one will accept you except as my friend."

Chen Xiaoxiao asked, "Why me?"

Elijah's dark blue eyes stared at her quietly, a gleam of light flashed quickly, but then disappeared: "I like to watch you hope for everything, and then wait for you to despair about everything .”

Chen Xiaoxiao grunted: "Crazy."

Elijah raised the controller in his hand: "There is one left. You have to defeat that blind man."

The person sitting on the ground turned his face with his eyes closed in boredom: "I won't fight you."

Chen Xiaoxiao knew that she had no way out, so she walked over and stretched out her hand to him: "Get up, I'll help you."

The man sat quietly without reaching for her hand.

After a while, he said: "You are about the same age as my student, and I fight you to bully you."

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk nonsense with him: "I've even beaten Omega-level mutants, I'm not afraid of you."

The man suddenly laughed: "Omega? You?"

Chen Xiaoxiao whispered, "Of course."

To convince him, she muttered, "Her name is Jean Gray."

The man on the ground froze suddenly, and the smile slowly cracked on his face like a shattered glass.

"You can't survive."

Chen Xiaoxiao: "She let me go."

The man supported the wall, stood up slowly, and approached Chen Xiaoxiao.He was tall, and walking this way felt very oppressive, Chen Xiaoxiao subconsciously backed away.

He lowered his head and whispered in Chen Xiaoxiao's ear: "You look helpless, little girl. Everyone has abandoned you, right?"

Chen Xiaoxiao frowned: "What do you want to do?"

The man said softly, "You're scared. So I think you'll need a friend."

He put his hand on Chen Xiaoxiao's shoulder: "Scott Summers. My name. Don't forget that I helped you."

As he spoke, he opened his eyes suddenly, a beam of red light rushed out from the eyes, and the huge energy quickly split the laboratory into two. After one blow, he turned his head and rushed towards the very close Elijah, and burn a hole in his chest!

The suppressor in Elijah's hand was activated one step later, and after being seriously injured, he knocked Scott down violently!

Scott's body lost strength, and he stared at the ceiling above his head with blank eyes, but the terrible red light no longer shot from his eyes.

He saw the white roof and the people around him, and the long-lost familiarity made him extremely strange.

He fell to the ground and panted weakly. He opened his eyes wide, trying to find Chen Xiaoxiao's figure, and stretched out his hand to her, with a hoarse and weak voice: "I may never see Qin again."

"If you see her, tell her for me... although she may not understand."

"I love her."

The next moment, the experimenters frantically rushed into the laboratory, quickly closed Scott's eyes, and dragged him away who lost his strength.

Brandon stood in front of the door, his whole body was stunned. He couldn't move. He watched the huge laboratory being split open in an instant, and watched his brother get a blood hole in his chest.

Chen Xiaoxiao was still in shock, almost unable to stand still due to the frightening force, and asked in a trembling voice: "Scott? Right, Scott?"

The man being dragged responds hoarsely: "Scott Summers."

Chen Xiaoxiao said to herself: "Okay... I will remember. If I survive."

Looking at Elijah with a bloody hole in his chest, Chen Xiaoxiao felt a burst of revenge.

Elijah took two steps with difficulty, as if he wanted to block the blood flowing from his chest, he threw himself at Chen Xiaoxiao, with the weight of his whole body pressing on her.

At that moment, Chen Xiaoxiao hoped that he would die so that she would never have to see this lunatic again.

But the blood hole was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she knew it was her genes.

I hate it.

Elijah put his full weight on her and let out a weak voice like a child's cry: "Don't leave me, please."

He won't die, Chen Xiaoxiao thought.

If you want to win his trust, this is the best chance.

She raised her hand and rested on his fragile neck.

Kill him, and you won't be able to complete Mr. Stark's quest.

The whole laboratory was in chaos, and no one dared to touch Elijah without authorization. Everyone was frightened and stupid. They were afraid that they would be executed by the tyrant.

Chen Xiaoxiao moved her hand away from his neck and held his hand.

"You're not going to die."

She tried to make her voice less cold, but failed to do so.

"I promise you that."
