Chapter 64: The Realm of the Mind, the Island of Time Flow
The flame is still burning, but the burning posture seems to be frozen for a moment, as if time has been paused. However, this is not a real time pause. Except for the time gem among the few gems that claim to have infinite power, there is nothing in this world that can make time pause.
And even that time gem, Zhou Yi did not believe that it could really suspend the timeline of the entire universe. If such an ability really existed, the universe would have collapsed long ago. It can be said that he still has a wait-and-see attitude towards the abilities of those Infinity Stones.
Of course, this is not to say that there are no similar capabilities in the world. Because time is a relative thing. It's just that it is absolutely fair to the vast majority of people in the world, that's why some people have this idea that all beings are equal in front of time. And for those very few, time is not fair.
For example, the two brothers who have lived for hundreds of years and are still wandering around, or the existence that appears in front of Zhou Yi at this moment.
Professor Charles, he is a guy treated unfairly by time. It's just that he is not given special care in the body like those two brothers, Charles, the place where he is specially cared lies in his heart.
At this moment, Zhou Yi was pulled into Charles' spiritual world, and in this Charles' spiritual world, time had been suspended. Everything that exists in the physical world is completely frozen here. All of this, including Charles himself and Zhou Yi's body, but here, their thoughts are free.
Time cannot imprison their thoughts, because thoughts have no boundaries.
Seeing Charles staring at him with a smile on his face, Zhou Yi sighed helplessly and tried to take out a cigarette from his pocket. But in this world, everything is static. And that naturally includes cigarettes that shouldn't be there. It does not exist in this fixed time, so naturally it cannot be taken out by Zhou Yi.
"Professor, I just want to teach this young man a little lesson, there is no need to bring me here!"
The bald professor stood up and walked in front of Zhou Yi. Here, his spirit was freed from the shackles of his rotten body, to such an extent that it was completely possible.
"Of course I believe you are measured, so I didn't invite you here for this lad. Or, it's just a side issue." "Why, you're in trouble. I didn't listen to Ororo and the others. Go!" While pinching the bridge of his nose, Zhou Yi was thinking about what the professor needed his help for. Over the years, his relationship with the academy has been heating up because of Ororo, Jean Grey, and Charis. But the academy never asked itself to give them any help. Whether political or economic. have never been.
They just silently maintained their isolated position in society, doing everything they could to protect some mutants. Although they said they could do more with Zhou Yi's power, they didn't. And this also became the reason why Zhou Yi was willing to accept this group of mutants.
Because it shows that they do not want to use themselves, but maintain a friendly communication relationship. They see themselves as friends and treat themselves with sincerity. Then it is enough for Zhou Yiyi to sincerely give back to them.
"There are some things I don't want Ororo and the others to worry about, that would be dangerous to them." The professor smiled. "And there is no danger to you. So I hope to get your help."
"Okay, I agree. Let's hear it, what kind of problem is it. It makes you worry about your favorite protégé."
"I have an old friend who now has a dangerous idea. And this idea needs the ability of a new student in my college to help him with it,
So I hope you can protect my new student during this time. "
"An old friend?" Zhou Yi was surprised. "It's not someone who can be called an old friend by you. Can I know the name of this guy with a bad idea?"
"Eric Lansheel, this is the name of this old friend of mine." The professor showed a look of nostalgia. "Of course, humans have given him a more powerful nickname, Magneto."
Slightly pouted, Zhou Yi felt that he seemed to be trapped by this old bald head. The name Magneto is a big name in the world, and it's no joke that it almost sparked a Cold War-era war between two superpowers.
And that's not what the Magneto is best known for. The most shocking thing he did was to use his abilities to create a metal city on the Pacific Ocean.
Using his super control over the magnetic field, Magneto forcibly extracted countless metals from the ore veins on the seabed, creating a huge city. And with the help of the magnetic field of the earth itself, he even turned the city into a city of eternal sun.
The earth's magnetic field provides the city with endless energy, making him move unpredictably with the earth's chaotic electromagnetic field like a giant ship at sea. This is the city of Magneto and the city of mutants. Humans can't even reach this place, because it is hidden in the deepest part of the turbulent magnetic field, which is a walking Bermuda Triangle. Only Magneto knows how to get in and out, and only those mutants can accept his invitation to enter his city.
He is, like Professor Charles, the leader of the undeserved mutants. However, if Charles is a pacifist who advocates communication, then Mr. Magneto is a complete force. And he himself is the most powerful being among the mutants.
If possible, Zhou Yi really didn't want to face the king of the mutants. His ability is quite troublesome, and even Zhou Yi did not have the confidence to defeat him. According to Zhou Yi's estimation, the best situation is only five to five. And this is obviously the same as what the professor estimated.
"Professor, you don't want me to compete with the famous Mr. Magneto." Zhou Yi didn't quite understand what Professor Charles meant. No matter from that point of view, letting him deal with Magneto has already surpassed him. The upper limit of their relationship.
It's true that he and the mutants are friends, but not to the extent that he will die for the benefit of his friends. Don't say the stupid thing that Charles asked Zhou Yilai to solve the problem when he was worried about his students. There are countless mutants in danger in the world, and if he was really worried about the safety of mutants, he would have asked him for help. Not until now.
Being able to help Zhou Yi means that the interests contained in this request are worth paying for with the friendship between them.
"I know Eric." Professor Charles saw Zhou Yi's doubts and explained slowly. "We're old friends and I want to know him. He's a talented guy. We've had the best collaboration in the world. And even today, after we parted ways, our beliefs haven't changed. No matter what. It was me and he who fought for the survival of mutants. It's just that we have different means to accomplish this belief."
"But one thing I'm sure of, he won't do anything to hurt mutants. Unless there's a compelling reason. And now he has that."
Listen to Professor Charles tell the inside story one by one. Zhou Yi said uncertainly.
"Are you sure that Magneto wants to use this so-called mutant modification device to influence all the dignitaries participating in the summit, so that they can open up all kinds of unequal treaties with mutants? Sounds like a good thing."
"If there are no other side effects, this is indeed a good thing. But Eric's experiment is not perfect. This morning, a member of Congress who he used as an experiment has unfortunately passed away. The reason is a genetic breakdown."
"Wow! This is really unfortunate news." Zhou Yi felt a little gloating. The congressman, whose name he had heard, was an extreme anti-mutant pioneer. He was also a guy that Zhou Yi hated, so the news of his death was good news from a certain point of view.
"The situation is not what you think." After insight into Zhou Yi's mind, the professor corrected. "This genetic breakdown is irreversible, and once it is used by Eric at the summit. All the participants and the innocents around will be at risk. This is likely to cause war."
"Okay!" Zhou Yi, who realized the seriousness of the matter, straightened his face. "What do you want me to do?"
"To be exact, I don't want you to do it. What do I want the Knights of Dawn to do?" Professor Charles smiled slyly, Zhou Yi's other identity did not hide the wise old man.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Zhou Yi shrugged indifferently. He knew in his heart that it was difficult to keep his identity a secret from this old man. As the most powerful psionic power owner in the world, his spiritual strength was enough for him to recognize the difference between all species. And there's no reason for him to ignore the sizzling superhero of the Dawn Knight. Once inside the observation network of his spirit, all the secrets will be discerned. He was already mentally prepared for this kind of thing.
"Then you agree?" This is the last question, and this also represents the professor's attitude. He is asking instead of asking, and the initiative is in Zhou Yi's hands.
"I have no reason to refuse, do I?" With a wry smile, Zhou Yi made his attitude clear. Being a superhero makes him unable to refuse Professor Charles' proposal.
"Don't worry, my young friend." Hearing Zhou Yi's response, the professor was obviously relaxed. "My old friend is not without weaknesses, and there may be a most labor-saving method for you."
Listening to the old man's plan, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little sadness for Mr. Magneto, who had not yet masked his face. Isn't it too pitiful to be calculated by the guy who knows him best. But thinking of his future relationship with himself, Zhou Yi decisively abandoned this sympathy.
People will always be better for themselves, and no one is exempt from this.
After talking about the business, Professor Charles silently disappeared in front of Zhou Yi. For a moment, it seemed that time began to flow again. The huge sense of disparity made Zhou Yi almost forget that there was a poor little guy standing in front of him.
The raging flames instantly turned into countless flying sparks, and even so, this mutant named John was terrified. As a student in the school, he had never been exposed to combat, but he was seriously traumatized.
However, this was not in Zhou Yi's consideration, and his mind was already filled with Professor Charles' plan. Thinking of Charles' plan, he looked at this elegant manor. It seems that we have to find a way to solve the most critical part as soon as possible. If there is an accident, it really doesn't seem like Ororo and the others have explained it.
With this in mind, he just walked past John's side. He didn't even notice the flame in the young man's eyes. However, even if he noticed it, he probably wouldn't care. After all, they are not creatures of a degree, and there is absolutely no possibility of intersection.
