Chapter 58 [Sebastian Shaw]
"that..."
Charles and others told Chris all about his thoughts on telepathy and mental power. When he saw the other party thinking, he thought that he could take advantage of this good opportunity to ask about the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for several days, but he didn't know where to ask.
Charles's look of wanting to speak but stops made Chris, who was standing by, feel uncomfortable.
Chris couldn't stand it and said, "Charles, just say anything if you have anything."
"Okay." Charles saw Chris bringing it up on his own initiative and asked with a serious face: "I think you should understand what I want to ask, why do you have the memory of the birth of the earth."
Chris had already found out about this question and replied with a smile: "You don't have to be too confused about this question. There are many wonderful things in the world, and mutants are one of them."
"Variable people can be explained by science, but you are different! Your mental power is so huge and contains all the memories since the birth of the earth. This is not human beings at all, nor can science explain it!"
Chris did not directly answer Charles's doubt, but slowly spit out several outstanding representatives in the field of science from his mouth, "Newton, Einstein, Edison..."
"What?" Charles didn't understand what these celebrities in the scientific community had to do with their questions.
"They are all world-renowned top scientists. Do you know why they turned from believing in science to falling into the embrace of theology in their later years?"
Chris made a mysterious smile, "As some people say, the end of science is theology!"
“The end of science is theology!”
Charles mumbled and repeated Chris's words, thinking for a moment, then he suddenly looked at Chris, maintaining this surprised expression, unable to speak for a long time.
Chris said casually: "Okay, Charles, I want to rest. If it's okay, you can go out first."
...
The next afternoon, a jeep was slowly driving in the jungle outside a secret base in the Soviet Union.
Mora, who was sitting next to Charles, looked at the other person's restlessness and couldn't help asking with concern: "Charles, what's wrong with you? You've been talking nonsense since last night."
Charles, who came to his senses, shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired from flying."
"Then you rest for a while, we'll be here soon." Mora spread out the map in her hand, looked at her watch and said.
"Thank you." Facing the gentle Mora, Charles did not think about the things that upset him for the time being.
However, Magneto Eric looked at the two people full of dog food with some taste, and turned their heads with disdain.
On the other side,
Hank, who stayed at the CIA base in the United States, was sitting in the laboratory of the brain wave enhancer, thinking about how to improve this instrument so that it can be more perfect and convenient.
At this time, Chris suddenly opened the low door of the laboratory and climbed up the stairs.
"Hank."
"What's wrong with you Chris?" Hank was surprised. You should know that Chris spent almost most of his time in his bedroom except for the meal time.
Chris smiled: "I want to bother you with something."
Hank took off the frame, put down the tool in his hand, took out a chair from the side and handed it to Chris. After the other party sat down, he said, "Tell me, look."
Chris asked, "How did you invent this brain wave enhancer? I'm curious that you don't seem to have any telepathy, mental manipulation or something."
"Well...what should I say..."
Hank sorted out the thoughts in his mind before answering: "Because I had communicated with Charles before, through his telepathy, in my opinion, telepathy should be a kind of superpower in the spiritual realm, that is, the intuition, premonition, sixth sense, etc. In the spiritual realm, both in the scientific world and in some magical novels, it is related to the brain, so I thought that since it is related to the brain, then I developed something that amplifies the brain waves, which should help Charles' telepathy."
Seeing that Hank was about the same as Charles, Chris looked at an instrument similar to a motorcycle helmet placed on the middle platform, and pointed to the one and said, "That's the brain wave enhancer?"
Hank nodded: "Yes, this is the first version, which can only allow Charles to sense most of the United States, but I am thinking that it is time to improve and perfect it, so that Charles can better release his telepathy, so that he can find ways to cover the entire earth, so that more mutants can be found."
"Charles must have mentioned to you that I have great mental power." Chris suddenly asked.
Hank nodded: "It's mentioned, but it seems you don't know how to use it."
Chris said, "I want you to help me make something like this brain wave enhancer, but to enhance the version, I think I should have much more mental power than Charles."
"What do you want to do?" Hank asked in confusion.
Chris smiled: "I want to try whether my mental power can perceive other people like Charles, but I am not very familiar with it now, so I want to use the help of the brain wave enhancer."
Hank did not doubt Chris's words. At this time, he was still relatively simple. After thinking about the feasibility, he nodded and agreed: "You can try it. Charles told me that your mental power is very large. If you simply use this instrument, I am afraid that the instrument will not be able to withstand your mental power, so I need to make some improvements, which may take some time."
"It's okay, you can take it slowly, I'm not very anxious." Chris knew that being anxious was useless, so even if he was urgent or not, after all, if he said too much, it would easily make him suspicious.
"Then Chris, come here and I'll help you detect your brain wave electrogram, so that you can create an amplification instrument that is more in line with your brain waves, that is, your mental power."
...
It gradually became night.
While Chris was cooperating with Hank to debug his own mental fluctuations, he suddenly sensed the fluctuations of space energy outside. He couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to go out to see what was going on, he suddenly heard a whistling sound similar to a tornado getting closer and closer.
Could it be Xiao!
In an instant, Chris thought of a plot in the movie, where Xiao sneaked into the temporary base of the mutant with the Red Devil and the Rapids.
"Hank, go quickly!" Thinking of this, Chris grabbed Hank's shoulder with his right hand, and a black and purple flame appeared in the palm of his left hand, burning through the wall made of steel in front of him, jumping directly from it.
Hank, who didn't know what happened, was thrown to the ground by Chris, and pointed in horror at the open space about twenty meters away: "My God, how could there be a tornado here!"
Without worrying about Hank, Chris noticed that there seemed to be a human-shaped black shadow in the center of the tornado, thinking that this should be the torrent that can quickly turn his body.
"Chris Run!" Hank quickly got up and called when he saw the tornado getting closer and was about to blow to his side.
"I don't know if my karma fire can burn the wind!"
Chris grinned and slowly raised his right hand. As soon as he spread it, a strange purple-black flame suddenly appeared from his palm.
Regardless of Hank, who was full of surprise on the side, Chris picked up his right hand, which was blazing with flames, and aimed at the tornado that was already whistling.
"Endless karma fire!"
In an instant, the strange black and purple flame burst out suddenly in the palm of Chris' right hand, and with a momentum that seemed to be covering the sky and the sun, it sprayed in all directions, forming a flame barrier composed of black and purple flames three meters away!
