Three-stream detection simulator

The element-devouring beast rolled up to its feet and followed the agent out of the elevator. SHIELD, who had discovered something was wrong on the other side, had already begun to alert. Fury was not completely unprepared. After he discovered that the enemy could become invisible, he immediately found Professor X:

"I heard, Professor, that you can project your thoughts within an area. Can you make all creatures that enter this corridor after us immediately start vomiting until their stomachs are empty?"

Professor X showed a subtle expression: "Are you sure?"

You must know that continuous range telepathy does not distinguish between friend and foe, and SHIELD employees will also be affected.

The agent chief is a ruthless man.

Fury said without changing his face: "Yes, I'm sure." He looked at Hercule again, "To be honest, before you used the pipe to collect clues, I thought that even if you let ordinary people go, you would definitely go there. Controlling Yu Wen's church members, you unexpectedly chose an alien creature that can't communicate. Could a cat's body be helpful in quitting smoking? "

"You want to hear the truth?"

"Speaking."

"I think it is SHIELD's dereliction of duty to allow an extremely threatening and unknown alien creature to walk on the earth." Hercule said unceremoniously, "To be honest, I can see your neutral attitude. , Mr. Fury. You always consider using any outside force, don't you?"

This was the first time he expressed his views clearly.

Not only did Fury look surprised when he was directly questioned, but other people present also gave different reactions. Batman said nothing, as if the topic had nothing to do with him. Professor

Constantine had just finished warning Batman, 'Don't ask where a hero comes from', but he didn't expect that Hercule was also a conservative. He wanted to say something. Zatanna patted her companion on the shoulder and whispered: "It's okay. Look again."

Fury bluntly asked: "So you are a Lex Luthor supporter?"

"I have no intention of joining any political party," Hercule said politely, "but I think my people deserve more attention."

"You allowed the element-devouring beast to sneak into the hospital. What about the ordinary people in the hospital?"

"Instead of letting it wander outside, with the possibility of causing greater damage at any time, it is better to take this opportunity to get rid of it once and for all." Hercule said a little tiredly, "I tried my best to ensure that it would not hurt anyone, and there are people in this building. An omega-level mutant, two powerful human mages, a group of well-trained agents, a vigilante with a wise mind and first-class physical skills, and myself who is responsible for attracting the element-devouring beast. If this also goes wrong. , then I really doubt whether your dream of 'borrowing extraterrestrial power' can be realized, Mr. Director."

Zatanna said in surprise: "Did he praise us all again?"

Constantine: "If we can't catch the cat, the people above will scold us in turn. Do you believe it?"

Professor Help you solve your withdrawal problem.”

His eyebrows and expressions looked very kind most of the time, and when he spoke slowly, he gave people the feeling of a knowledgeable university lecturer: "The reason why I didn't explain it at the beginning is because Director Fury insisted on ascertaining your attitude first. That's it. Just now, you clearly expressed your opposition to external forces. Even so, I still want to ask, do you plan to accept my experimental treatment?

My telepathic abilities allow me to manipulate thoughts and distort perception. SHIELD medical staff have said that your right hand has psychogenic touch disorder, so theoretically, as long as I suggest that you forget or ignore the psychological trauma you have suffered, there is a certain probability that your hand will return to normal. "

After saying that, he was ready to be rejected.

As a result, the detective seemed to be waiting for this sentence. As soon as the professor's voice stopped, he said decisively: "Yes, thank you very much."

Professor Is the star creature’s declaration also an excuse for me to speak out?”

At the same time, he also had an additional worry: people like Hercule, who are prone to overthinking, attach great importance to the secrets in their brains and memories. Being able to actively calculate and perform treatment shows that even though he has never explicitly expressed his need, he actually cares more about it than others think.

In fact, rather than using superpowers to solve the problem simply and crudely, Professor X would rather recommend the detective to consult a psychologist.

Hercule was noncommittal and only said: "I don't have any negative opinions about the mutant community, and it's not because I want to ask talents to say good things. I truly think that you are just a unique branch of human evolution."

He refers to 'my kind' or 'humanity' for the third time in the conversation.

Professor X felt that he vaguely understood something. This topic is not the focus at the moment and can be discussed later. The old mutant leader pushed a wheelchair to the bedside and said to Constantine who was lying on the bed: "I need to borrow it now. Should I ask you to go down, or should you move your lower body and walk next to Ms. Zatara?" "

Constantine: "..."

I had the illusion that I was scolded by the class teacher for being naughty.

He never wanted to experience master-level mind control head-on, so he immediately rolled out of bed and walked to the window. Just as he was about to take out his lighter and smoke a cigarette, Professor X continued without looking back: "Smoking is prohibited in the hospital, Mr. Constantine. Last time, there was a man who always smoked in front of me. I threatened him and said, 'If you continue like this, I will make you think that you are a little girl with twin tails.'"

"..."

Constantine didn't take out the lighter, but he said loudly: "The life of the X-Men is too miserable! What a life every day!"

Professor "

It’s about the dignity of mages, vigilantes and agents.

Constantine: "Isn't it just a cat?"

Batman: "Be safe."

Fury: "Don't worry, I have arrangements."

Hercule was a little nervous. From the moment he opened his eyes and saw the other person, he had great expectations for Professor X's ability, but he didn't know if he could compete with the fixed attribute points of this body. If it fails in the end...

He thought, forget it.

People have to accept reality.

He is not a character who gets stuck in the quagmire. Whether it is time travel, system panels, or a series of complex subsequent developments... all these things that are confusing and difficult to accept are all a magnificent adventure in his short life. The results are always unknown before they arrive. The important thing is that you have a clear conscience during the process and do not regret any of the choices you make.

As he told Claire Berg in NYPD: "The process of interpretation itself is a confrontation with fate. No matter if you move forward in the right way or in the wrong order, you will be rewarded."

He thought that maybe the existence of the system would be exposed to people.

However, after careful evaluation, Hercule believed that regaining a healthy body was far more important than keeping a secret that even he himself did not know the answer to. He is experiencing a huge gamble in life, and if he wants to gain something, he must put enough weight on it.

Similarly, the attribute points were added by himself, and no one could predict the impact after time travel.

Hercule told himself, at least I fought for it.

But facing Professor

Professor X could tell. He lived for more than seventy years, was in his seventies, had experienced wars and betrayals, was disabled in middle age, and had been in a wheelchair for half his life. At this time, he did not say any words of comfort, but pressed his hands with the dry and skinny hands unique to the elderly. He grabbed the back of Hercule's hand and pressed down hard: "I understand, I understand."

After saying "I understand" twice in a row, he still wanted to sit on the bed using the armrests of his wheelchair. Hercule quickly stopped him: "No, professor. I'm ready."

"You can call me Charles. I will do my best." Professor

The old man sat and couldn't reach Hercule's shoulder, so he patted his arm gently: "Go to sleep, at least you can get some rest."

Hercule's heart beat rapidly and he closed his eyes obediently: "Thank you, Charles."

Professor X pressed his temples, and his consciousness slowly penetrated into the detective's mind.

Dive, and dive again.

Until he arrived in the shadows where even his master had not been there for a long time.

The first thing he saw was a magnificent pyramid standing on the rotting surface.

The sky is dark with thick clouds and there is no light. Hercule Hugo, who has darker black hair than now, wears a gas mask and covers his body tightly without exposing any skin. He stands as smooth as a mirror without any gaps. In front of the metal wall, he said to the void: "I already know very clearly what you don't want to tell others. Open the door, I want to see Argos."

His voice was dull, and he couldn't stand straight, but his tone was firm, giving the impression that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

After a while, an old voice came from the door: "Humph, lobbyist? Who sent you? Forget it, I'm not interested either."

The earth shook, dust flew everywhere, and a high and narrow gap opened up on the edge of the pyramid.

Hercule walked inside.

Professor X was slightly moved when he saw the next scene - this scene was fake.

Not that there was anything wrong with Hercule's memory. But at the time in his memory, from the moment he stepped into the pyramid, the surrounding things and even his own body were no longer real. Hercule was misled by the enemy's cognitive level, so Professor The scenes he saw with his eyes were no longer reference.

Professor X is quite familiar with this situation.

Because a few minutes ago, he had just followed Nick Fury's instructions to perform small-scale mind manipulation with the same principle on everyone who entered the corridor.

To put it simply, Hercule began to dream from the moment he entered the pyramid. Then there are too many operations that can be performed...such as conducting random and cruel interrogations. No matter how many times it is repeated, it will only break the spirit, but will not lead to real death.

Professor X closed his eyes, not wanting to take a closer look. He can use his superpowers to achieve the same effect, so it's not a matter of strength, it's the way Hercule's enemies use their powers that disgusts him.

'Argos' said he was not interested in the purpose of his visitors, and it was true.

He did not believe that Hercule could really threaten him, and played and toyed with his opponent in a condescending, cold and vicious way, as if he hoped to see the opponent collapse emotionally and kneel down to beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, the detective did not meet his expectations in this regard. Hercule was indifferent to the torture inflicted on his 'body'. His brain was like a programmed process, filtering out the influence of external factors indifferently and step by step, digging out even the slightest clues from false illusions, and each cycle progressed further than the last time.

In the end, he stood in front of Argos at the cost of his right hand (this was the only ending without death in the psychological suggestion). The old man with white hair and red eyes in a white robe finally showed a surprised expression. His eyes moved from his bleeding wrist to the face that was covered in cold sweat and lacked color, and finally met Hercule's sharp gray-green face as always. Eye.

Argos spoke the first warm words of the day: "You are good, detective. To this day, there are few human beings who make me feel worth living. You are one of them, reminding me of my life." An old friend."

He held his chin in thought for a moment and said happily: "Do you want me to save your life? Surrender to me and I will tell you the truth about the world."

By this time, Professor He didn't actually lose his right hand, but repeated amputation would give him the illusion that he no longer had it.

And as long as this memory is blocked...

Professor X didn't have time to do anything. Argos on the pyramid throne suddenly raised his head, as if looking at the mutants from the 21st century through Hercule - his eyes were a weird, warning light-like bright red, which was creepy: "But our subsequent conversation cannot be recorded, so there are no bystanders."

The memory paused, and the vision turned into pure darkness. Professor X jumped uncontrollably to another nearby memory fragment. It seemed like a long time later. Hercule was walking in a warm and humid environment. He didn't know whether he couldn't see anything or was in darkness. He could only hear the rustling, hissing sound like a mouse crawling across, and the ticking water. Voice.

After a long time, when bystanders began to feel unbearable due to the high temperature, lack of oxygen and lack of vision, the boring journey finally ended. A bright blue light appeared on the road ahead. A middle-aged man whose appearance could not be seen clearly had a stooped waist and the elbows of both arms supporting his knees. He sat on a rusty pipe and spoke in a frivolous and tired tone. said:

"Don't go any further, young man."
