Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

At the entrance of the hotel, there were people lying down all around. The damage caused by the mental shock just now could not be recovered so quickly, but fortunately, there was no danger to their lives.

Logan pushed the professor through the crowd. The scene in front of him made the professor feel more and more self-blame, and he kept apologizing to the people around him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Feel sorry……"

Tiny apologies continued to sound, but the guilt in the professor's heart remained undiminished. He did not intend to hurt anyone, but his aging body could no longer contain his increasingly powerful mental power.

Xu Yue followed behind, his eyes indifferent. In the world of extraordinary existence, the weak cannot even control life and death. This is not a class gap, but a difference in life class.

Only by becoming stronger can you control your own destiny.

Quickly passing through the crowd, Logan helped the professor into the back seat and threw the wheelchair into the back of the truck. This was a green pickup truck. Although it was not as comfortable as the previous one, it was sturdy and durable enough.

After Xu Yue and Laura got in the car one after another, the pickup truck sped off into the distance.

In the passenger seat, Xu Yue saw a familiar figure through the rearview mirror. It was Donald, the leader of the predators. He stood behind the crowd and looked angrily at the direction the pickup truck was driving away, but did not choose to continue the pursuit.

The professor's outburst made him sincerely frightened. The number of people was meaningless under this kind of power. Only by getting rid of the professor first could there be any hope of recapturing Laura.

…………

In the vast green fields, a pickup truck was driving on a wide road, with large grasslands and corn forests on both sides.

This is already the second day since Logan and others left the hotel, and they are already halfway through the journey.

Xu Yue slept drowsily in the slightly shaking car. The sequelae of massive blood loss made him always want to sleep.

"Rescuers... hotel... paralysis."

"A year ago...the same...X-Men...lost...it can't help but..."

The intermittent radio sound entered Xu Yue's mind, and then gradually disappeared without a trace.

"How long has it been since you took your medicine, Charles."

This is Logan's voice, the tone is slightly serious, is it a quarrel?

"I don't know, maybe 2 days."

The professor's aggrieved voice sounded like a child's, but this scene seemed very familiar. Where had I seen it before?

professor? Wait, where am I now?

"Bang"

There was a huge collision, followed by violent shaking. Xu Yue felt like he was riding a roller coaster, his body swaying uncontrollably from left to right, and his consciousness became even more drowsy.

Why can't I open my eyes? My body feels heavy...

squeak--

The vehicle stopped suddenly and then suddenly. Under the action of inertia, Xu Yue's head hit the window of the side of the car hard, making a crisp sound and stinging pain, but it also made Xu Yue's consciousness gradually change from chaos. Wake up.

"Xinhuo, Xinhuo, are you okay?"

The strange movement of the co-pilot attracted the attention of everyone in the car, and they all looked at Xu Yue.

"It's okay, it just hurts a little."

Xu Yue, who had woken up, responded, rubbed the forehead that had been in close contact with the glass just now, and waved to Logan.

"What's going on outside?"

"A damn automatic truck lost control and almost crashed."

"These bastards."

Logan had already moved the car away from the road and looked at the leaving truck with a gritted tone.

"Ee-er! Ee-er!"

Several sudden sounds of horses honking came from the road on the other side. Xu Yue looked sideways and saw that a truck transporting horses also had some problems in the accident. All the horses ran out and ran around on the road.

The family responsible for transporting the horses was at a loss as they watched the horses running around.

"We should help them."

The professor also saw the scene outside the car and said to Logan in the driver's seat.

"No, we have to keep walking, someone will come." Logan didn't want to cause trouble.

"Isn't there someone here already?"

This sentence made Logan a little nauseous.

In the end, the professor convinced Logan that he was a very good teacher and was always good at teaching through words and deeds.

The vehicle was swerved by Logan and drove to the vicinity of the truck. The professor used his psychic ability to control the horses to return to the cage in an orderly manner. After the last epileptic attack and mental riot, his mind became much more relaxed.

Logan went to help push the truck to start, and Laura ran down to watch the excitement. She had never seen an animal like a horse.

But Xu Yue still didn't get up from the passenger seat, and he didn't even pay attention to the movements outside the car.

Something was very wrong just now. He had a mental problem, and it was definitely not due to blood loss. If he hadn't hit his head before, he wouldn't even be able to wake up.

But the paradise did not indicate any abnormality. That was his own problem, not a plot by others.

"Xinhuo, what's wrong with you?"

The professor sitting in the back row noticed Xu Yue's gloomy expression and asked with concern.

"There seems to be something wrong with me, Professor."

Xu Yue looked at the professor. He was a top spiritual master and ability development master. Asking him for help was a good choice, provided that he was awake.

"I can't enter your heart, which is filled with purple flames, but I can see that your ability is very strange. It burns more than just the body. This may be the crux of the matter."

When it comes to ability development, the professor is obviously interested. Recalling the scene of Xu Yue lighting the fire in the hotel, the professor is thoughtful.

"Absorbing this flame will make you stronger, but the burden on your spirit will become increasingly heavier. You must restrain its use."

"Professor, our current situation is not optimistic. I need strength." Xu Yue said with a bitter smile.

The professor also understood the current situation. Xu Yue was still wrapped in gauze. He hesitated for a while and looked outside at the family who was inviting them to have dinner with Logan's help. He turned to Xu Yue and said:

"If you don't mind, it might be helpful for me to learn more about your flames tonight."

"Of course I don't mind, please, Professor."

After the conversation, the professor looked outside the car again, interrupted Logan's words of refusal, and smiled and expressed that he was very happy to accept the invitation.

Late at night, in a farmhouse next to a cornfield.

Under the kind invitation of the family, they enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together. Of course, in Xu Yue's opinion, the taste was ordinary.

But the professor and Laura had a great time eating and chatting happily during the period. Xu Yue played the role of a social terror well, eating more and talking less. He is now more concerned about his mental problems, which is related to his growth rate.

After successfully joining the protagonist's team, he was 80% sure of completing the mission. Next, he had at least two opportunities to kill X-24, but the premise was that the plot could not be significantly changed, so he was very restrained these days.

The meal lasted for an hour before it was over. Originally, Logan was planning to travel overnight. He had had the same experience. An old couple took him in on the way to escape, but they were eventually implicated and died. He was afraid that the same situation would happen again. .

But under the professor's pleading, Logan still compromised. Xu Yue didn't speak the whole time. Even though he knew what the ending would be, he needed the opportunity the plot gave him.

In the end, the professor, Laura and Xu Yue stayed at the farmhouse to rest, while Logan followed the owner to a distant water station to deal with the water outage problem. They would continue their journey after dawn tomorrow morning.

After the farm mistress arranged their respective rooms for them, Xu Yue did not rest, but came to the professor's room.

The dark room did not turn on the lights. A purple flame was burning in the center of the room. The coquettish purple glow overflowed from the flame until it covered the entire room.

The professor sat in front of the flame and brushed the fire in Xu Yue's palm with his hand. The fire suddenly fluctuated, but it did not cause any harm to the professor.

"It's really a strange flame. It takes the form of a flame and uses the enemy you killed as the igniter. After it is formed, it only reacts to metal and is harmless to other things, right?"

Seeing the professor's eyes exuding a strong desire for research, Xu Yue nodded.

He took out a steel ingot from the space and placed it on the fire. The previously quiet fire became visibly violent, and the flames turned into small snakes and wrapped around the entire steel ingot.

In an instant, the steel ingot turned into a puddle of silver water, emitting dots of purple light.
