[Comprehensive] The Great Devil

Sera was sent to a secret laboratory by the Red Devil.

They injected her with a drug similar to a muscle relaxant, making her completely unable to control her body, and she is not yet strong, so she cannot defy the physiological function to mobilize the power of mutants, only her brain is clear in her whole body Yes, and have a clear view of what they are about to do.

What's ridiculous is that Xiao and his most powerful men are mutants, but the staff in this laboratory are all human beings, and they are willing to serve them, a race that was originally hostile to them.

But that didn't stop them from inflicting all the torture on her.

One of the oldest scientists, who is also the director of the research institute, ordered his subordinates to tie her firmly to the operating table. Facing the mutant's bottomless gaze, he patted her soft cheek lightly, Give her a meaningful smile.

"Hello, Ms. Selah Milt... Oh no, it should be said——Experiment No. 157." The scientist's old fingers stroked her eyebrows, stayed at the corners of her eyes, and exclaimed, "You have a pair of Very, very beautiful eyes... Are they also part of your mutation?"

Sera sneered, "Don't let me get your hands dirty, Mr. Director."

"Don't worry," the other party's smile deepened, "I personally dissected more than a hundred of your kind, and without exception, they all died painfully in the end...and you look very interesting, maybe we can play for a while longer. "

"I heard that your abilities are different?" The director slowly put on the surgical gown and smiled, "Then... I should be gentler - after all, compared with those useless mutants, you are one of them. A precious one."

He took the scalpel handed over by his subordinates, put on the mask, and an old voice faintly came out through the cloth mask.

"So, let's start our game...shallwe?"

Sierra's pupils shrank.

……

……

How to find Sierra has become an urgent problem to be solved.

Fortunately, when the Red Devil kidnapped her, Charles successfully invaded his mind at that moment. Although what he saw was limited due to time constraints, it was enough.

He passed part of the captured map information into Hank's mind, and the clever scientist quickly found the matching area based on it——

"Near the banks of the Uzhlovgorod River in the Soviet Union," Hank said, "but Professor, your memory is too fragmented, and we can't find the exact location—it will take a few days to find out where the laboratory is."

"We don't have time!" Charles said every word, his eyes were startlingly bright, "Understood, Hank? - no time, not a minute to lose - you don't understand...you don't know her, I know she will suffer What, and this is not the first time, I know how crazy those people will be..."

Eric let out a cold snort from his chest, he leaned against the door frame, his expression full of sarcasm, "I don't think I need to emphasize the sentence 'I told you so long ago'—"

"Don't be sarcastic, Eric." Charles immediately turned his head and stared at him without the slightest smile on his face, "Don't make any jokes at this time."

Eric narrowed his eyes slightly, "You really seem to care about her, don't you? ... Or ... what are you afraid of, Charles?"

"You don't understand what she can do, Eric." Charles closed his eyes, "but I understand... I also promised her that I would protect her - God, I promised She! I can't even imagine what's going to happen next—"

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately opened his eyes, staring at Eric, "Why can she be taken away by the devil?——What did you do?"

Eric couldn't help sneering, "I colluded with Xiao, can you believe it? - I wanted her to die a long time ago, and if something happened to Selah Milt, I would definitely not be able to get away with it - isn't this just The most impressive impression she made on you?"

Hank was a little puzzled, "Uh... sorry, Professor-maybe you can make it clearer?"

Charles sighed deeply, his blue eyes slightly moist.

"Your Shaw, Eric..." he said, "He made you who you are today... Magneto."

Eric's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help shouting, "Pay attention to what you say, Charles! I've never been proud of it—"

"Ah yes, Eric." Charles smiled wryly, "but you also understand what will happen, after you..."

"Sebastian Shaw."

"Even if I—"

"This will create a devil that no one can control."

……

When Charles and the others exhausted all means and finally found the secret laboratory hidden under the ground, it was already five days later.

Their aircraft landed nearby, and it was winter now, the Uzhlovgorod River was covered with a thick layer of ice, and there were firs covered with snow everywhere.They quietly came to the entrance of the laboratory under the cover of forests and bushes. Magneto controlled the metal wires to entangle all the guards at the entrance, and Charles invaded their thinking to find a route. When neither side showed mercy, the situation was like a broken bamboo. broke into the laboratory.

The warnings kept ringing, and Eric disliked being too loud and destroyed all the cameras and speakers. Those who shot bullets at them would be hurt by the bullets.With Charles' help, they soon arrived at their destination, the last sealed laboratory at the end of the corridor.

Seeing the pursuers coming from behind, Eric simply broke the metal wire in the switch, and a thick gate fell down in front of all the soldiers, blocking their way forward.And if you want to open this door, it will take a lot of time, enough for them to take away the people in the laboratory.

Fortunately, the laboratory door was also made of metal, so Eric easily broke it and walked in with Charles.

Unexpectedly, the lights inside were very bright, and there was no one there. It was so quiet that it was almost dead silent, only their slight footsteps and the sound of dripping water coming from nowhere.

And on the operating table surrounded by curtains in the center of the room, a person could be vaguely seen lying there.

Charles gasped, desperate to go over and open them—

"Slow down, Charles—" Eric held him cautiously, he frowned, his eyes were a little uneasy, "too-quiet...something is wrong—"

"She's there, I know it very well!" Charles shook off his friend's hand so hard for the first time, he strode over, paused in front of the curtain, took a breath, stretched out his hand and slowly pulled it away They, their fingers trembling slightly——

When he saw everything in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but stop breathing, and his eye sockets immediately became wet.

Eric stared at his friend's frozen back, he probably guessed something, pursed his lips slightly, and walked over slowly.

A person... to be precise, a scarred woman lying there.

Countless infusion tubes were deeply inserted into her skin from her head, neck, shoulders, arms, thighs, and calves. Some were injecting some transparent liquid, and some were slowly pumping out. blood and probe her body data.She was lying naked under the bright incandescent lamp, without a piece of complete skin on her body, all kinds of sharp knife marks were deeply carved on her pale skin, and even the remaining part of the skin tissue that had just been completely cut off could be seen.Because her body can automatically absorb a little energy from the surroundings, she is also endowed with the ability to slowly heal herself. Even after suffering such cruel treatment, she still has slight signs of breathing.But this only reveals a more brutal truth——

If she can really heal herself... then not only the skin tissue, but every inch of her body surface, organs, blood, fat layer, bones, and even internal organs... will become their experimental products without mercy.

It is impossible to imagine what she has encountered in the past few days... Just thinking about it makes him almost collapse!

"No, Selah..." Charles stretched out his hand in panic, wanting to touch her, but he was too timid because of the shocking wound. Tears flashed in his eyes, and his eyes streamed on her closed eyes, cautiously , calling softly almost in despair, "Sierra...Serra—I'm Charles...I found you..."

Eric's eyes were extremely complicated, and he turned his head a little bit unbearably, sighing silently.

"Sierra..." Charles never gave up hope. He stared at her without blinking. After realizing that the other party seemed to have heard his voice, and his breathing stopped for a moment, he immediately smiled and his lips trembled slightly. He whispered comfortingly, "I'm here...I'll take you home..."

Finally, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened her eyes.

The moment Charles caught her eyes, he froze.A heavy sadness overflowed from his eyes.

What beautiful eyes they used to be, quiet, soft, intelligent, deep, always with a faint smile.He likes to stare at them for a long time, and his mood fluctuates because of the little ups and downs inside.That is the treasure that cannot be found in his heart, and his beautiful heart is buried deep in the dark river.

But now, they have become so empty, numb, indifferent, godless, hard, and bottomless.Like a black hole.

It was as if the soul died on the operating table.

"No—no no no no... Selah! Selah, look at me, look into my eyes—" Charles tried to bring her back to his senses, his voice trembling, "just look at me...I Take you home... please - I'm Charles, I've found you, let's go now -"

boom!

A roar sounded outside the door.Eric took a look and reminded him, "They blasted the door and are about to rush in. We have to get out of here, Charles, quick!"

The young professor took off his overcoat and covered the woman with extremely light force. He seemed to want to help her up, but he was afraid of touching her wound that hadn't fully healed.In a dilemma, they suddenly heard a voice.

Very light, very low, very weak, like a meaningless murmur.

"What... what did you say..." Charles didn't hear clearly, he lowered his head slightly, and put his ears close to Sera's slightly opened lips.

After hearing those words clearly, he immediately froze.

That is a poem.He is familiar with every byte of it, because the book is kept in the most conspicuous place beside his bed——

"When I saw the prosperity of the past

Disfigured by the cruel hand of time"

"When I see the old buildings collapse

Calamity corrodes eternal brass"

"When I see the hungry ocean

encroaching on the land of the land kingdom

The sea is filled with firm soil again"

"When I see the world so changeable

Even grandeur itself is reduced to decay..."

——In the end, I still have nothing.

Charles trembled all over, he slowly raised his head, lowered his eyes, staring at the woman who was reciting poems repeatedly as if she had lost her soul, and closed his eyes in pain.

"No... Sera... no—"

Eric watched in amazement as the dead woman slowly sat up, pulling the thin tube still connected to her flesh and blood behind her, accompanied by the rustling sound of plastic.He didn't even have to ask to know how much it would hurt.

But she sat up silently as if she couldn't feel it, and then watched him and Charles quietly with those deep and dry eyes.

"Sierra..." the professor murmured.

Hearing the call, she paused for a few seconds, then slowly turned her head and looked at him.

"Charles Xavier..." she whispered his name, as faintly as a ghost, "Charles...Charles."

"This is the human being you want to protect...the so-called weak...civilized people...a group full of hope..."

Every time she said a word, some invisible fluctuations appeared in the air one after another, and the wound on her body healed at a faster speed.While she was talking, she stretched out her hand to pull out the connecting tubes forcefully, ignoring the spurted blood spreading on her body, just staring at his eyes, tilting her head slightly, like an innocent child, even with some With a curious tone, he asked him softly——

"This is what the people you love have done to me, are you happy? Are you surprised?—You see what they did to me, what they did to your companions... Is this me The meaning of existence? The meaning of mutants' existence?"

"Selah—" Charles closed his eyes in pain, "please don't...don't torture yourself—"

Sera blinked, she seemed to have seen something interesting, and even showed a faint smile on her face, but there was no light reflected in those dark eyes, swallowing everything like a black hole— —

"Are you asking me to forgive them, Charles?—to forgive a bunch of inhuman executioners who use me like a beast?"

"Do you know what happened? - Ah, I almost forgot, you are the most powerful telepath in the world, you can hack into their minds, then you must have seen what happened here...Need me to repeat Tell you again?"

Charles gasped, tears were faintly in his eyes, and he whispered almost pleadingly, "Let's go back first... go back and talk... okay, Sela?"

But she didn't seem to hear it, she just whispered persistently, like a child who wants to beg for candy, "—you see, no matter how much I begged them to let me go, they still cut my chest with a knife skin, watching the viscous liquid slowly flow into that transparent tube...they cut my scalp open, curious to know how my brain is different from other mutants...they cut my brain Draw a straight line from the chest cavity to the abdomen, cut me in half, look at my scarlet internal organs, I can even feel them are hot, the blood I bleed is also hot, they make me hot... and the most interesting Yes, because my body absorbs energy, I can heal non-stop for a few hours, and they don't have to worry about accidentally killing me-"

Eric opened his eyes slightly, and the energy fluctuations around them became more and more violent, and even the walls began to peel off. It seemed that something terrible was about to happen, and he couldn't help shouting, almost warning, " Sierra!—Stop it! You're going to hurt us all!"

"—injury?" She smiled weakly and innocently as if she had heard a joke, "Do you think you are the only one who has ever been hurt? -Eric Lanshere, Great Metal King, be proud of mutants... Ah... Do you think that only your life has been miserable?!"

The smile on her face slowly faded into an eerie nothingness.Once that once beautiful and quiet face fell into this situation, after the extreme despair and collapse, when she had completely lost hope, she no longer relied on anyone, had no fetters, and no longer hid herself strength and nature--

Charles Xavier was right: a dreadful devil, to be set free.

"The person who gave birth to me, leave me," Sera murmured, "The stepfather who took in me was like a mob who misbehaved me... The people I care about just sit back and do nothing, even let me forgive the murderer who caused all these tragedies ...Humans bullied me, insulted me, never treated me well, and my race fears me like a monster of fear...People who approach me have always tried to use me with ulterior motives—”

She laughed softly and lowly, "Ha... ha... In this world, no one has ever loved me... I have never been loved."

"No, Sierra!" Charles tried to approach her, but was blocked by a strong air current. He watched the fluctuations around her become more violent, and even the ceiling and walls began to crumble, and the closed room rolled up out of thin air. The wind, metal instruments crashed and collided together, and even when Eric moved slightly, his cheek was cut by the invisible air current and he dared not move any more——

"I love you, Sela!——" Charles resisted the increasingly terrifying energy fluctuations, and stretched out his hand to her with difficulty, almost desperately, "I love you!——Don't give up hope, Sela Pull—take my hand!—”

There was a moment of stillness in the air.

The long hair flying in the air suddenly froze, Sera slowly lowered her head, watching the person who kept approaching her.

"You love me?" she asked softly.

"Yes—forgive me, Sierra," Charles said intently, his blue eyes fluctuating, no one would doubt the truth of what he said when they saw those eyes, "I'm sorry—I'm losing you I fell in love with you this very moment—please don’t give up on yourself so easily...I will never give up on you, Sera—forgive me for being so late—”

He tried to take another step forward, his voice was very soft, but gentle and earnest enough.

"Come back with me... let's go home, shall we?"

Sera stared at him quietly for a long time, and then slowly revealed a faint smile that was almost nothing.

"You love me, Charles," she said, as if believing the words, and then asked him seriously, "will you avenge them, then, for me?"

"Will you take revenge like they did to me?"

Charles was taken aback.He didn't answer immediately.

For her, this already revealed the answer.

"Look, here's the man I love—Charles Xavier," Selah smiled. "No, you won't take revenge, you never will. You're so gentle, you're firm, you've got a great idea, That is to protect all the innocent and weak, and to forgive those who have committed crimes—"

She laughed, her voice was very soft, "...and I don't exist in your ideal."

Charles' pupils shrank, "No!——"

"You can see everyone's memories, and you think you can understand their pain and understand their true feelings." Sera looked at Eric, and noticed that the other's expression moved slightly, and his smile deepened, "... I'm starting to be thankful that I have this ability, Charles, it prevents you from invading my mind, making you no longer be as self-righteous to me as other people, and even try to control me with shared emotions and memories-don't refute me! Do you dare to say that you have never had such an idea?!"

Charles closed his eyes in pain, "Selah..."

"I'm tired of being treated as weak and powerless," she smiled and shook her head, "...I'm tired of being insulted because of this face, I'm tired of being treated as a different kind by humans and mutants at the same time, I am fed up with the pain of being imprisoned, bound, blood drawn, flesh cut open, and bones melted..."

"—I'm tired of being passive, Charles." Her smile disappeared from her eyes, becoming extremely calm, like stagnant water, "I can't bear this anymore...never again."

"I want to be the one who controls the life and death of others."

She lowered her head and smiled at the hopeless young man.

"I don't need you anymore, Charles."

She used to love him, and those eyes she loved the most used to be the ocean with the smallest diameter in the world, but now, she used enough strength to surface the water and successfully landed on the other shore.

She finally saw through it all.

He loves all weak and innocent people, and in his world of fraternity, she will never be in it.

He will not take revenge on those people.Serra was never the first choice over anyone he cared about.That being the case, why should she continue to follow?

She has awakened from his kindness.From now on, she will not rely on anyone.

In this ugly and unfair world, the only person who will not betray her is herself.

……

boom--

Caught off guard, the last door was blasted open, sending dust flying.

Many soldiers in combat uniforms broke in and raised their guns on everyone inside.

Eric narrowed his eyes, and just raised his hand to control the flying bullets, but was surprised to find that his ability had failed.

He immediately turned his head to look at Sera——

Her body was surrounded by invisible and terrifying energy, which gathered together to protect her firmly, and all the bullets stayed less than half a meter in front of them, as if time stood still.

Sera slowly opened her eyes, her long hair was floating by her side, flying freely and slowly around, flowing as if alive.She was wearing Charles' overcoat, her pale and blood-stained collarbone was exposed, and she was in the eye of the wind. She didn't even move a single corner of her clothes. It seemed that all the air was sucked away in an instant. asphyxia.

She turned her head and stared at the group of soldiers who barged in, her dark eyes were cold and bottomless.

She watched them panicked because the attack failed, smiled slightly, and spoke softly.

"—You, all will die here."

The author has something to say: "You are all going to die down here."

It's not too cool to put this classic saying here.
