Chapter 858: Bright Stars (Part 3)

"Fear is the deepest and most difficult scar to erase in a person's soul, and what you are afraid of depends on what made you fear instinctively for the first time."

"When people see a black shadow running across the wall quickly, they will feel fear, but the causes of fear are different. Some people are afraid of cockroaches, so when they see a fast-moving black dot, they think of cockroaches and feel afraid. Some people are afraid of ghosts, and they feel afraid when they see anything blurry but floating around."

Schiller looked at Polaris and said, "Magneto is likely the external manifestation of your fear, not the essence."

"In order to prove this to you, I need to ask you a few questions. First, has Magneto Eric really hurt you? I mean, has he caused you substantial harm?"

Polaris was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, he didn't hurt me. At most, he controlled the magnetic field around me."

" Well, if there is no physical damage, there must be mental damage. Before. Some of his behaviors made you feel scared and caused you mental trauma, especially his action of controlling the surrounding magnetic field, which may make normal people lose all sense of security, which can be said to be a kind of mental abuse. "

"But we need to analyze the principle of his behavior. Do you think he did this to deliberately abuse you?"

Polaris showed an impatient expression and said: "Why don't you understand, he is a mental patient! He will never do meaningless things. If you ask him this question now, he will only look at you with contempt and say, "Why do I have to abuse her? '"

"You hit the point again. His mental state is not normal. He did these behaviors not to deliberately hurt or kill you. In fact, you also understand this. Why are you afraid of him?"

"I..." Polaris paused.

"Don't answer so quickly, Miss Lorna. Let's recall one more thing. Did your abnormal behavior towards him start from the day you reunited with him, or from the day he told you the truth?"

"He told me the truth on the day I reunited with him." Polaris emphasized: "In order to get me to join the Brotherhood, he told me that my ability was out of control and killed my parents. In fact, I am his biological daughter."

"So before that, have you never heard of Magneto?"

Polaris thought for a while and said, "Of course I have heard of him. He is a very famous mutant, and his ability is the same as mine. I have also learned some information about him before..."

"Did you feel scared at this time?" Schiller asked.

Polaris shook his head and said, "I just found some old newspapers. What's written on them is what kind of trouble he made. There are only a few pictures. What's so scary? On the contrary, I think he did a great job and was very relieved. He is different from those people who can only negotiate."

"At that time, didn't you realize that he had the ability to kill you or control you?" Schiller asked again.

"But he didn't even know me! At that time, we were strangers, why did he want to kill me?" Polaris said, spreading her hands.

"Then why did he want to kill you after your relationship became father and daughter?" Schiller asked back.

"Your relationship did not change from strangers to enemies, but from strangers to a closer father and daughter. During this period, he did not take any violent harm or control measures against you. You also know that he is not a sadist, so why do you think he will kill you at any time?"

Polaris was silent for a while, then said: "Yes, he may not want to kill me on purpose, but if one day... one day... he..."

Polaris' fingertips trembled a little. Schiller stood up and poured her a glass of water. Polaris drank the glass of water and said: "You don't understand... You may not have seen it... You don't know how powerful he is. He can even... even..."

Polaris tightly grasped the glass of water in his hand and said: "Even if he didn't mean it, what if one day... he lost control? Not even losing control, but one day, he didn't notice..."

"Have you discovered? Miss Lorna, what you are afraid of is that mutants may lose control at any time."

"You may not have noticed that in your previous words, you have been saying that you can't pay attention to your power all the time, and you can't accurately control every power to protect the ordinary people around you."

"Such an argument means that you think that as long as you are not paying attention or distracted, you may kill ordinary people. Even if you don't sympathize with ordinary people, you are afraid of this."

Schiller walked back to his seat and sat down. He said: "The source of this fear may be your life experience. At the beginning, your ability was out of control and caused the plane crash, killing your parents."

"Yes, Magneto found you in time and let the Master of Illusion hypnotize you to forget this experience, but as I said, memories can be forgotten, but the fear engraved in the instinct cannot."

"Your parents died because of your out-of-control power. You have no confidence in accurately mastering this power. You think that the power of any mutant will be out of control, including Magneto Eric."

"Your out-of-control power killed your parents, and his out-of-control power may kill you and everyone around you."

"Stop talking!" Polaris's tone was a little trembling. She said, "I control my power very well. I have never caused any trouble! I control it better than the X-Men..."

"That's just because you really put in more effort than others to limit your power." Schiller sighed and said, "Charles said you are gifted, but in fact, you have not shown the power commensurate with your talent."

"From the beginning, you have been trying to control your power. It would rather not be so powerful, and it is better not to lose control, but in fact, other mutants follow their instincts. They They can't control every bit of power as accurately as you do."

"You can't stay with the X-Men, maybe because of this. You find that other people don't restrain themselves like you do, and you feel the same fear, because you know that there are many powerful mutants there, and once their power gets out of control, no one can save you."

"You don't even want to stay in any place where there are powerful mutants, because you feel that your parents' tragedy will happen to you at any time."

"You don't live with those mutants, choose to rent a house in New York, and even if you are kicked out by the landlord, you don't want to join those mutant organizations..."

"You think you are on the side of mutants, but in fact, you stand closer to ordinary people. You, like ordinary people, are afraid of the uncontrollability of mutants."

Polaris's face was very pale at this time, and every word of Schiller made her ventricles tremble.

She tried her best to deny every word in his words, but her reason told her that the psychiatrist was right.

When she first started taking physics classes at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Magneto came once and showed all the students the changes in the stars and the universe.

Polaris was very interested in the black hole in his hand. She had also tried to make one herself, but for some reason, she couldn't succeed.

She remembered that what she was thinking at the time was that it didn't matter if it didn't work, as long as it didn't explode.

But if it was the style of other students, it would explode, as long as it succeeded in the end.

Schiller took a sip of water and said, "Professor Charles often said that he was very optimistic about you. Perhaps, he was optimistic about not only your ability, but also your position. Your father, Magneto, may understand this and want you to return to ordinary people."

"I want her to return to ordinary people." Magneto said a long sentence very rarely, and Charles did not feel surprised. He nodded and said, "I know that Lorna often shows that she hates ordinary people very much, but this is actually because she has suffered school bullying."

"But in fact, she is much less troublesome than other mutants, even Iceman and Shockwave. They have also caused trouble in the society of ordinary people, but Polaris has never Yes, she seems to have been worried about her powerful strength, even at the expense of the strength of her own ability, to ensure the accuracy of control. "

"She has been afraid." Magneto's voice was very low. He stood up and walked to the door and said to Charles: "I just hope to teach her... fear is never useful."

After he left, Charles closed his eyes, sighed, and whispered: "So, you never let yourself be afraid, and never have other emotions, no fear, no anger, no sadness, no love... naturally impeccable."

Charles's hands on the chair tightened, and the grooves on his skin told that he was no longer young.

Charles thought that for so many years, he had maintained a peaceful state of mind and wanted to solve the mutant issue peacefully.

But every time he felt endless anger and wanted to break his principles, it was because of Eric.

Not because he was different from himself, but because of what he suffered and what he paid for the mutants.

Charles took a deep breath and opened his eyes, looking out the window. At this time, leaves were falling one after another, like a golden rain outside the window. The wind rolled the leaves around. Charles knew that this was just the last calm before the storm.

A golden ginkgo leaf fell from the window, and Nick Fury looked away. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Sitting on both sides of the long table were Coulson, Natasha, Hill, Mark, Ward and other agents with clean backgrounds.

Nick's tone had never been so serious. He said, "Today I received a message from the military. At 6 o'clock this afternoon, I will go to a secret base to attend a secret meeting."

"The theme of the meeting is to sign a secret agreement, and the content of this agreement is...how to eliminate mutants."

Natasha opened her eyes slightly and said, "Are they crazy? The solar system construction plan is short of people everywhere, but they want to eliminate mutants?"

"It is precisely because the solar system construction plan is short of people everywhere that they have to eliminate mutants, because they don't want mutants to occupy too many positions in this plan and have too much influence."

"If your house is to be renovated, will you let the tenants who have rented this house participate? To decide what the house should be decorated like and what style it should be decorated in? Even let them personally adjust the water pipes and wires?"

Coulson said anxiously: "But don't they have a new house in the Andromeda Galaxy? There is no need..."

"But do you think the mutants will leave voluntarily?" Nick looked at the table in front of him and said: "The people who organized the meeting think they won't, and they think it's necessary for ordinary people to help them."

"The solar system construction plan is progressing very quickly, but it will take a long time for humans to go to the universe to obtain unlimited resources. When resources are still limited, the rich want to be richer. Do you understand what I mean?"

Nick's hands clenched, and he could even see under his black skin. Drilling to the white knuckles, he said: "With the shadow of the Iron Curtain, they dare not blatantly exploit ordinary people, but the elimination and attack of mutants is what all ordinary people like to see. As long as they take the lead, ordinary people all over the world will applaud."

Nick pinched his fingers and said: "Schiller cut off their way to divert domestic pressure by provoking international conflicts and forced them to unite as one, but this does not mean that domestic pressure will disappear. We all know where the pressure comes from."

"They have to find another way to divert these pressures, and mutants are the best targets."

"They have always done this, haven't they?" Hill said: "Hasn't the so-called sentinel robot appeared several times? Our agents have caught its tail several times, but unfortunately..."

Nick Fury's eyes gradually cooled down, as if he remembered something. The momentum he exuded reminded people that he was also a giant ship that rode the wind and waves and successfully landed in that magnificent era.

Nick's change of attitude made everyone look at him. He said:

"When I was young, I saw the hope of mankind going into space, but that hope was soon shattered..."

"This time, it is the last chance. We have everything, the right time, the right place, and the right people. Therefore, we can only succeed, not fail."

"I won't let them do this..." Nick lowered his head, closed his eyes and said, "This means that they will never be able to do it."

"Go, sound the alarm..." Nick's voice was as distant as if it had passed through an entire era.

He looked at the world map opposite his seat. The pattern on it was so large, but it seemed so small. He said:

"Get ready. Perhaps this is the last battle."
