Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"Sir, the Liberty Motel has arrived."

"Thank you."

After paying the fare, Xu Yue walked out of the car door and looked at the hotel in front of him.

The hotel is a bit dilapidated, with no other decorations except the old walls and green-painted doors and windows.

The two-storey small building is surrounded by a courtyard-like style. There are a few sparse cars parked in the middle yard. It seems that the business is not very good.

Looking at the hotel that was the same as in his memory, Xu Yue nodded with satisfaction. This was the right place. It was here that Logan took Laura away. This was a key point.

Walking into the yard, I glanced around, but I didn't find Laura or the nurse, but I would always wait for them here.

It was still early in the morning, and Xu Yue had no intention of waiting here. After finding the boss and getting a room on the first floor, he left.

Now he needs to reward his stomach, which has been neglected for a long time, and purchase some supplies for the upcoming road trip.

When the sun went down, Xu Yue returned to the hotel after having had enough wine and food. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw a little girl playing with a rubber ball in the open space on the right.

As luck would have it, that was exactly what he was waiting for, the new mutant, Logan's biological daughter, Laura.

She was born and grew up in a laboratory. Before escaping from the laboratory, she had never seen the world, so she was full of interest in everything outside.

Even if it is an ordinary rubber ball, you can enjoy playing with it for a long time.

"Hi! Little girl, we meet again."

Xu Yue did not approach rashly, but greeted him from a distance.

Laura, who was playing with the ball, paused, turned to look at Xu Yue, her pupils shrank, and she cautiously took two steps back. It seemed that Xu Yue had left a deep impression on her.

But at least this time they met, Laura didn't show her claws and made a posture ready to attack at any time. Unlike last time, she didn't seem to feel the boiling murderous intention in Xu Yue.

Seeing that Laura didn’t reply and just stared at him cautiously, Xu Yue was not embarrassed.

"Don't be so nervous, little girl, I have no ill intentions towards you, you should be able to feel it."

"Besides, we are the same kind."

As he spoke, Xu Yue stretched out a finger, and a faint purple flame appeared on it, jumping smartly on the fingertip.

Looking at the purple fire beating on Xu Yue's fingertips, Laura's eyes fluctuated slightly. Although her face was still expressionless, her tight muscles were obviously relaxed a lot.

Seeing this, the corner of Xu Yue's mouth curled up, and he took out a glass ball from his pocket with his left hand. He stroked it with his fingertips, and a wisp of lavender fire penetrated into the inside of the glass ball.

The nature of the fire determines that it treats objects other than metal more like a stream of light than a flame, so it will not cause damage to the glass ball itself after entering it.

And this wisp of fire can last for half a month before dissipating without smelting metal.

Holding the gadget in his hand, Xu Yue stepped forward slowly, approached Laura and then squatted down, looked into the little girl's eyes, smiled gently, and handed it to Laura.

"This is a meeting gift. I haven't met the same kind of people for a long time. The situation last time was not suitable. Now we can get to know each other again."

The crystal clear glass beads exude a faint brilliance, and a wisp of magical purple flames burn quietly, looking exquisite and gorgeous.

Laura couldn't help but stretched out her hand to take it, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully. After a long time, she was willing to put it down, looked at Xu Yue opposite and said:

"Laura."

"Firefire."

Xu Yue stretched out his hand, Laura hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out her small hand to shake Xu Yue's hand.

A good start. Laura's experience has made her wary of the outside world. Being willing to have physical contact means having a foundation of trust. This is enough, and too much is not enough.

After letting go of his hand, Xu Yue stood up, pointed to a room on the first floor, and signaled to Laura.

"I will be here within the next two days. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Seeing her nodding, Xu Yue said nothing more and turned around and walked towards the room.

After returning to the room, the smile on Xu Yue's face began to dissipate.

From the moment he came into contact with Laura, the fire in his body kept swaying, as if being disturbed by something.

Turning on the desk lamp next to the bed, he sat on the wooden chair that was pulled out, and the atmosphere was a bit gloomy.

Under the dim light, Xu Yue opened the sleeve of his right hand, and a series of numbers were tattooed on his strong forearm.

"Laura..."

"Another test subject like me?"

Staring at the number on his arm, Xu Yue spoke in a low voice, and then the room fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yue, who was staring at the number in trance, suddenly felt that the fire that was constantly disturbing in his body shrank violently, and then a somewhat old voice sounded in Xu Yue's head:

"Hello, Xinhuo."

Xu Yue's body froze, but he did not panic. He looked around to make sure no one was there, and then said:

"Telepathy? Who are you?"

"I'm Charles Xavier."

"Are you Professor X? I thought you were dead."

"It just...just disappeared for a long time."

Although he could only hear the voice, Xu Yue could also feel the rich sadness in the tone.

"Then what does the professor want from me?"

"Because of the child outside, she is being hunted. If possible, I hope you can protect her for a while. Someone will pick her up later."

"Laura?"

"It seems that she is in a lot of trouble, but people like us will always be hunted down. It's not surprising. If she is in trouble, let her come to me and I will help her."

"Thank you, kid, if..."

Professor X seemed to be hesitant, paused for a while, and then continued.

"Kid, you are very young. If you are willing, maybe you can work with Laura to find a new home for mutants."

"Professor, I heard that you can understand anyone's memory, so can you also see my past?"

As he spoke, Xu Yue stared at the number on his arm, seeming to be recalling something.

"No, that's rude and I'm sick..."

"It's likely to mess with your brain."

Hearing the answer, Xu Yue took a long breath and raised his voice slightly.

"Professor, I don't want to offend you, but you also know very well that there have been no naturally occurring mutants for a long time."

"Both I and Laura are the products of genetic modification. They were born for the purpose of research, experiments, and weapons."

"Does a race that cannot be born naturally really have a future?"

After finishing speaking, the voice in my mind was silent for a long time before reluctantly saying:

"There will be. If you have children, there will be hope..."

The professor's voice was tired, and then became silent again, and the fire in Xu Yue's body calmed down again.

Silence returned to the room. After waiting for a long time and making sure that the professor's thoughts had completely left, Xu Yue took a long breath and relaxed completely.

Getting up from the chair and lying on the bed, Xu Yue began to close his eyes and recall every detail from the moment he stepped into the Liberty Motel to the present, making sure there were no mistakes.

Laura has always been watched by the professor. After he approached Laura and explained that he was a mutant, he naturally came into the professor's field of vision.

So from the moment he stepped into the hotel, he began to disguise himself as an artificial mutant with good intentions and sympathy for Laura, so that he could reasonably be noticed by Professor X and gain his trust.

Even if the professor suffers from Alzheimer's disease, he will not underestimate the old man's wisdom, so he is extremely cautious.

Fortunately, judging from the previous contact, the result was very good, and he received preliminary approval from the professor.

The identity of mutants is a great convenience. They are the same kind. This is the most important basis of trust. In addition, showing kindness to Laura, it is not too complicated to approach the professor after some planning. He has enough intelligence advantages. .

After all, Professor

The most important thing is that Paradise will not allow the professor to read his mind, and the information about Paradise in his mind cannot be disclosed.

This is the greatest confidence that Xu Yue dares to face Professor X directly and gain his trust.
