[Comprehensive British and American] Final strategy achievement
98, back to the past 02
Leona opened the game board, checked the system settings, made sure there were no errors, and then turned her attention to the important things that were about to happen.
He is coming.
Leona could feel her heart beating more clearly.
She rolled over and got off the bed, stood on a chair and looked in the dressing mirror. She was really young, short, and looked to be only seven or eight years old.
Is she too young? Leona is very dissatisfied with this.
She carefully felt her superpowers and found that her strength had declined greatly, only about one-tenth of its previous level.
"[Mind Manipulation·Level 8]: Your young body cannot withstand the huge power, so your super power is in a semi-sealed state. If your life is threatened, the super power will be completely unsealed."
Therefore, unless Leona encounters an enemy far beyond her peak strength, no one can threaten her life.
However, there are benefits to the decline of superpowers. Leona no longer has to be entangled by the power of time. Her brain capacity is limited and she cannot receive information about the future and the past at all times. What's more, Leona doesn't really like it.
She has a feeling of knowing everything, and what she loves is the joy of exploring the unknown.
But this does not mean that the power of time has disappeared. With the decline of super powers, Leona's ability to check the timeline has changed from a passive skill to an active skill, and it can finally be controlled by her.
The power of space and the power of the mind have also declined to a certain extent. Leona can control space particles at any time, but she can no longer initiate ultra-long-distance space teleportation around the world or even the universe as she used to. Leona tried
After some calculations, judging from her current ability, she can only travel between cities at will.
The same goes for the power of the mind. Leona used to be able to extend her psychic tentacles all over the world, but now the range she can cover is more limited.
Leona is a young mutant, and she needs time to slowly return to her peak form, but even so, she is already stronger than most mutants.
Leona put on her slippers and went downstairs. She was a little hungry and wanted to find something to eat.
The sound of the TV came from the living room downstairs. Leona stopped and stood on the stairs to listen carefully.
"This morning, a fierce anti-mutant march broke out in downtown New York. There was news that the demonstrators grabbed a mutant and beat him, but the demonstrators insisted that they were conducting a
The purpose of the peaceful war is to safeguard the rights and interests of ordinary people and not to persecute any mutants..."
The TV station switched the screen, Leona took two steps down and saw that the reporter was interviewing a man with the Stars and Stripes paint on his face.
The man said: "We have not harmed any mutants. On the contrary, mutants are constantly hurting us. What's wrong with us? We just hope that those dangerous mutants will be supervised by the government. Most mutants are violent.
They always cause accidents like this, and I don’t even dare to let my little daughter go out alone..."
Leona heard artificial intelligence Tony talk about the past. He said that in the era when Magneto was not in power, mutants were a minority group in the world. Mutants were discriminated against and could not enjoy the same equal rights as ordinary people.
Leona didn't feel very deeply about those things, and it wasn't until now that she truly understood the situation of mutants.
In this world, discriminating against mutants is politically correct.
Leona deliberately made a little noise, and Mr. Brandt, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, immediately turned around.
"I'm a little hungry," she said.
"Your mother is making dinner. We are having bacon rolls tonight." Mr. Brandt stood up from the sofa and led Leona to the dining table. "Sit down first. Dinner will be ready in a while."
There is more than one child in this family, all of whom were adopted by the Brandts from the orphanage. The other children are away participating in astrology observation summer camp activities and are not at home.
Leona sat on a chair and stared at the beautifully patterned tablecloth, while Mr. Brant sat next to her and kept looking at her with uneasy eyes.
"What's bothering you?" Leona asked knowingly.
She can read the thoughts in anyone's mind. In fact, she doesn't have to ask. Nothing in the world can be hidden from her.
"No, it's nothing important," said Mr. Brandt covertly.
"Who is that Charles Xavier?" Leona asked again, "Why did he come to see me?"
"He may know your biological parents." Mr. Brandt said vaguely. "Maybe you have relatives in the world."
Leona said "Oh".
But Leona knew that he was feeling guilty.
The Brants met Leona in the adoption agency and took her home. However, Leona was not a lovable child. The Brants had other children to take care of and their lives were very busy.
Therefore, his care for her was very limited. Now that Charles Xavier claimed to know Leona's parents and wanted to take her away, Mr. Brandt began to reflect, and he believed that the couple had failed to fulfill their responsibility to take care of her.
Leona believed that the Brants had no need to feel guilty about this matter. They had no obligation to adopt a girl who was completely unrelated to them, and they had no obligation to teach her as their biological daughter.
Mrs. Brant prepared dinner, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was very silent. The Brants ate their dinner in silence. Leona had a good appetite. After finishing the bacon roll, she ate another bowl.
Fruit mixed with yogurt.
After dinner, Mrs. Brant frequently looked up at the clock in the living room.
"That gentleman is late," she muttered.
"Let Leona go to bed first. It's so late and he might not come." Mr. Brandt said, "I'll make a call later to ask."
Leona yawned and returned to the bedroom unhurriedly.
She lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling full of little stars. She was not anxious at all. Charles would always come anyway.
At nine-thirty in the evening, a familiar brainwave fluctuation appeared.
Leona immediately recognized that this brain wave belonged to Charles. There was no one in the world with more powerful psychic abilities than Charles. His brain waves were as bright as a beacon in the dark night.
She tracked his brain waves and paid attention to his movements at all times.
Charles came in.
Charles talking to her adoptive parents.
Charles went upstairs.
Charles' wheelchair is parked outside her room.
"Thank you for pushing the wheelchair for me, Mr. Brandt," said Charles.
"It's nothing," said Mr. Brandt, "I'm going downstairs first."
Mrs. Brandt knocked on Leona's door, "Lena, the gentleman I told you about came to see you today. Can you open the door?"
Leona jumped out of bed and opened the door.
Mrs. Brant was startled by her. She took a step back, looked at Leona in surprise, and then said: "This is Mr. Xavier."
The emotion in Charles' blue eyes was still the same as before...
"Hello, Lina - can I call you that?" His voice was gentle.
Leona fixed her gaze on Charles' bald head.
She didn't understand why Charles became bald again?
Leona asked curiously: "Is it because you use your brain too much that you don't have hair?"
She believes that if Charles had hair, his image would be much better than now.
Mrs. Brant's expression became very strange. Before she could say anything to reproach him, Charles said helplessly: "It's not that I'm overthinking... I will consider wearing a wig next time I go out."
Leona blinked, realizing that Charles had established a telepathic connection with her.
"Can we talk alone?" Charles smiled.
"Okay." Leona opened the door and motioned for him to come in.
Charles nodded to Mrs. Brant, "Thank you, ma'am."
"You're welcome." Mrs. Brant glanced at Leona strangely, feeling that her behavior was a little different from usual, and she seemed to be more lively.
Mrs. Brandt suppressed her doubts, turned around and went downstairs.
Leona's bedroom door was closed.
Charles' eyes were a little complicated. He looked at Leona and carefully considered his words.
"Lina, I'm sorry that I came late today. The originally agreed time was eight o'clock, but I..." He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Are you living well here?"
"The food cooked by 'Mom' is delicious. I have a separate room, beautiful clothes, and people of my own age to play with, so there's nothing wrong with it." Leona rolled her eyes and smiled, "Excuse me,
Is this the answer you expected to hear, Charles?"
"I very much hope that you can live happily." Charles said, "If you can live happily, this will be the most gratifying thing for me."
"'Dad' said that you know my biological parents, is this true?" Leona asked deliberately.
"...You can say that." Charles smiled slightly.
"You and I are the same kind of people." Leona said confidently.
"Yes, you are a keen child. Telepathy makes our minds closer." Charles's words directly rang in her mind, "I'm a little curious, when did you discover that you have special abilities?"
"Very early." Leona said vaguely.
"Very early?" Charles repeated, and then said thoughtfully, "It must be very early. I noticed that you are very good at controlling your psychic abilities and can even search my brain waves."
"You can also search for mine, right?" Leona asked pretending to be curious, "Are you here to find me because you and I are the same person?"
"No." Charles' lips moved, "This is one of the reasons. It is insignificant compared to the most important reason."
"Tell me carefully," Leona said.
Charles sighed slightly and stared into her eyes, "Actually, I am your biological father. I came here to find you to ask if you would like to live with me?"
The author has something to say: In the old universe, Charles and Leona were very straight to the point when they met for the first time, explaining directly, "You are my daughter, let's live together."
Now he speaks more tactfully.
The main reason was that Leona's personality and attitude had changed twice, so Charles responded differently and came up with different meeting plans.
