The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman

Chapter 857: Bright Stars (II)

"Since my parents died, I have not had a home of my own. When I was in boarding school, I had to live in a dormitory with people I hated. After finally leaving that school, I could only rent a house outside."

Polaris covered her forehead with both hands, instinctively blocking her expression. She said: "I was once kicked out by the landlord because of my ability. I wandered the streets of New York in the middle of the night. My ability can only make me less cold and allow me to have a place to sleep without having to occupy a corner like other homeless people."

"Later, I went to X-Men. I admit that it is a place with a good atmosphere. Everyone greets you with a smile. Even if there are occasional conflicts, Professor X will try his best to mediate and satisfy both parties."

"But I just can't do it. I can't stay there, I just... can't... do you understand? Every minute and every second I stay there, I feel anxious, and talking to everyone there makes me feel painful. "

"Later, I left the X-Men, no one understood me, and after returning to the Brotherhood, the situation did not improve. I didn't want to see Eric at all, I didn't want to see his expression..."

"Later, the mutants walked out of the earth and came to the Andromeda Galaxy. We got a very beautiful empty island. I began to imagine having my own home there, a warm house, decorated the way I like..."

Polaris gently pressed his eyes and said: "For this goal, I fell in love with that job, even though it was nothing special, and even very boring."

"With Eric here, I don't have to do any work at all. Every day I just repeat the moving and splicing. I said what shape of building parts I want, Eric said no, I don't know why, but anyway it's no."

Polaris's breath was a little trembling. She said: "Maybe he thought I was too busy, and I had weird ideas every day to make him trouble, so he drove me back. ”

“I went back to the apartment I rented before, and then he followed me again. I knew what he wanted to do. I knew he wanted to scold me for causing him trouble, that I didn’t go back to school, and that I didn’t work hard…”

“I really hope that he disappears from my life and never appears again!” Polaris pursed her lips and said, “But he always comes in like this, and then he gives me orders about my current life…”

Schiller looked at Polaris and said, “You feel very painful staying with the X-Men. Can you tell me why?”

“I don’t know.” Polaris shook her head and said, “I just think that everything is fake, and I’m even angry about it…”

“The future of mutants, my future, I’ve been thinking about these issues since I can remember. People in the X-Men don’t seem to like discussing this topic. They like to focus on the present and think that there must be a way out when the car reaches the mountain.”

“But I know that there is no more way. They are paralyzing themselves and dying slowly. I want to remind them, but I don’t want to be the one who kills the fun. If they think that they have to have one last beautiful dream before destruction, then let them do it. ”

“Do you think you are more sober than them?” Schiller asked.

“I just have more experience than them.” Polaris lowered his head and looked at his fingers and said: “Children who can enter that school have parents who love them and let them go to school. Even if their parents want to abandon them, Professor X will care about them…”

“So they didn’t realize that the situation of mutants is the same as mine. We may be kicked out at any time, and they have been trying to kick us out.”

“But many of us shouted that as long as we behave well and please the landlord, we can stay. Some people said that we should make laws to restrict both landlords and tenants. Some people said that we just don’t move out, who can do anything to us…”

Schiller tapped the table with the tip of his pen and said: “You used ‘you’ and ‘we’ in this speech. You think mutants and humans are actually two different creatures, right? "

"I know that the mainstream argument now is that mutants evolved from humans, so we should be a race..." Polaris shook her head and said, "But the fact is that we are neither the same nor suitable to live together."

"It may be hard to hear, but I am really tired of living with ants. I am not insulting ordinary people, but how do you want me to control my power and concentrate to ensure that no power will leak out? As long as there is a little power out of control, it will lead to the death of hundreds of ordinary people. "

"Should I do nothing every day, pay attention to the spread of my power, pay attention to every change in magnetic force, to protect the lives of ordinary people? Otherwise, I will be abused in various ways? "

"Don't say that they have offended me before. Even if they haven't, I can't live such a life!"

"Okay, Miss Lorna, don't get excited." Schiller comforted Polaris, and then said, "Let's look at this as two issues. On the one hand, it is your feelings for your father, and on the other hand, it is your worry about the future of mutants. "

"Let's look at the first question first. Let's ignore your background and just talk about how you get along now. According to your description just now, Magneto Eric said two sentences to you in total. Do you think this is normal?"

Polaris stared at Schiller. His expression seemed to say "What's abnormal about this?".

"I mean, judging by the standards of ordinary people, should this be the scene for a father and daughter to reunite after a long separation?"

"I don't think of him as a father, and I think he doesn't think of me as a daughter either." Polaris said, turning his head aside.

"We need to first figure out the cause and effect relationship. Is it because you don't treat him as a father and he doesn't treat you as a daughter that the way you get along is like this, or is it because the way you get along is like this that you don't treat him as a father and he doesn't treat you as a daughter?"

Schiller's words were a bit confusing. Polaris was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know. Anyway, from what I know him, this is the case."

"Okay, I won't say he's your father, or even your friend. I'll just say he's a stranger. Do you think that if we happened to meet in an apartment, would the conversation be like this?"

"He's not normal at all!" Polaris continued Schiller's words and said, "I've met many people in my life, and I've never met anyone like him. He only has a stern face every day, expecting you to understand his eyes, and he's unwilling to say a word no matter what!"

"You hit the point, Miss." Schiller smiled and said, "He Not normal, what about you? "

Polaris was about to speak, and Schiller said in front of her: "Faced with the sudden appearance of a familiar person, your first reaction is resistance, the second reaction is attack, and the third reaction is to deliberately provoke him. Don't you think there is something wrong with your behavior?"

Polaris bit her lip, shook her head, and said: "I have always been like this, I don't think there is anything wrong..."

Schiller nodded and said: "The problem I am talking about is not that you are a lunatic. Or mentally ill, but that you don't realize that there is something wrong with the emotions that drive you to do these things."

"Resistance, attack and overreaction often appear when people feel fear. What drives you to do these things is not disgust or resentment towards Magneto, but fear."

"I..." Polaris was about to refute, but suddenly stopped. She heard the sound of the key falling to the ground last night.

With a "clatter", a bunch of keys fell to the ground, then flew up again and hovered in front of Charles. Magneto said, "That's it, she's afraid of me."

Charles frowned and said, "Lorna is not timid, nor is she afraid of fighting or getting hurt like some children. She has always been brave and strong. Why is she afraid of you?"

Magneto looked at Charles silently, as if waiting for him to give an answer. Charles thought for a while and said, "The emotion of fear often leaves painful and long-lasting scars after a violent impact."

"You may not have scared her this time, or you may not have scared her after she grew up and reunited with you."

Magneto frowned, and Charles said to him, "Think carefully, what did you say and do when you and little Lorna met for the first time?"

Magneto gradually fell into a look of recollection, merging with Polaris's pensive face. At the same time, the two found the small fragment in the surging waves of memory.

The blue sky and the sea are the same color, and the waves are constantly rolling on the coast. Every wave is like an impressionist brushstroke, wantonly swaying, but exquisite.

On a cliff not far from the coast, a wreckage was billowing black smoke. Two small black shadows approached the cliff, and the young Magneto fell down.

Looking at the wreckage, he vaguely heard the cry of a little girl from there. He raised his hand, and all the plane fragments flew into the air, revealing Lorna Dane hiding there.

At that time, she was still very young, sitting in a ruin, like a broken doll.

At this moment, Magneto's eyes looked through time and space and looked at the childhood North Star again. He found that the look in the little Lorna's tearful eyes when she looked at Magneto was not gratitude and relief, but deep fear.

"At that time, I didn't know what mutants were..." Polaris bit her lip and said, "A strange man in a black robe and a helmet fell from midair and cleared everything around me..."

"He walked towards me...walked towards me...like a monster!!!" Polaris' body began to tremble, one of her hands tightly grasped the edge of the table, and then said, "He locked all the magnetic fields nearby, and I had nowhere to escape, I couldn't move, and I couldn't even speak..."

"Just like last night, he controlled all the magnetic fields around, I was powerless to fight him, I could only ask him to stay away from me..."

Polaris clenched her fists tightly, and her knuckles began to turn white. She said, "I screamed because I knew that I couldn't do anything else except screaming for him to get away..."

"Don't recall it anymore, Miss Lorna." Schiller sighed and said, "Relax, because we are going to discuss the cause of this fear."

"What is the cause? Polaris looked a little pale, and she said, "It's because of that arbitrary monster and his powerful power..."

What he didn't expect was that Schiller shook his head and said:

"No, you are not afraid of Magneto... You are afraid of mutants and their powerful power that is invincible but may get out of control at any time."
