Infinity Armament

Chapter 184: Mind Labyrinth

Mutant School, West Chester, New York.

The West Chester Mutant School had been destroyed as a result of the civil war. Until the peace agreement was signed, schools were re-established. The mutants, headed by Professor X, not only help mutant children everywhere develop their abilities, control their abilities, but most importantly indoctrinate their human reason, understand how not to use their abilities to do evil, and how to get along with humans.

When Shen Yi, Gentle, Hung Wang, Kong and Luo Hao arrived at the mutant school, they first saw the colorful gardens.

Some children are having fun in the garden and square, some playing ball and others reading quietly on garden benches. Behind the square, you can see a large red building.

That's where mutant children live and learn.

“Are you new teachers?” A voice suddenly rang in his ear.

The people turned around hastily and saw a little tree beside them speaking. The little tree shook a few times and turned into a little girl in a grassy green dress, looking at them curiously.

“Amy, don't be naughty! They're Professor's guests!” Storm women teach little girls lessons. The little Amy girl made a ghost face at them and ran away laughing.

Shen Yi was somewhat curious: “How many mutant children are there? ”

The storm woman replied: "There were only dozens before, and after the end of the civil war, the human Government expanded the size of the place in the process of rebuilding, hoping for better ways to control the mutants without causing them to rebound. There are about 200 mutant children here, and there may be more to come. ”

“It must be hard to take care of more than 200 mutant children…” Gentle and gentle.

Storm nodded: “Their ability to make trouble is extraordinary. ”

As the storm woman's voice dropped, only one muffled sound was heard, and a herbicide suddenly burst into black smoke in the distance.

A kid shouted, “Ike, you bastard broke the lawnmower again. This is the third time this week! ”

A little boy, who looks like he's only about six or seven years old, is looking at you with innocent eyes.

“Oh, God!” The storm woman shot her head helplessly. She rushed over and said, "Ike, go get Jerry and get him to fix the lawnmower. Mao, take Ike away. I told you not to let him touch the machine. He's not quite in control of his powers yet. ”

Shen Yi walked over with a smile: “Let me do it. ”

He put his hand on the mower and activated it.

The mower restarts.

The storm woman looked shocked at Shen Yi, and she covered her mouth: "Oh, my God, you have the power of Jerry! ”

Even Wolverine and Bobby the Iceman were stunned by the scene.

From afar came a big boy, Jerry Lassio.

The moment he saw Shen Yi, he was obviously stunned, and then he jumped up excitedly and jumped into Shen Yi's arms: "Hey! I knew I'd see you again! ”

In less than a year, little Jerry had grown considerably taller and his body had grown significantly stronger.

Shen Yibi drew his height and laughed: "Look, our little Jerry is starting to grow. ”

Little Jerry was blushing, and he asked Shen Yi, "Where have you been this time of year? ”

Shen Yi touched little Jerry's head and laughed: “Gone a long way. ”

Little Jerry turned his eyes and asked, "Where is God? Paradise?”

In the X-Men's mission, Little Jerry had heard Shen Yi claim to be God's mercenaries, so he immediately realized where Shen Yi was talking about far away.

Shen Yi smiled: “Maybe. Some people think it's heaven, some people think it's hell... Jerry, it's Professor X who invited us, and I think Professor has a lot to say to us. ”

Shen Yi does not intend to discuss this topic too much.

Jerry got excited immediately, and he pulled Shen Yi and shouted, “Come with me, I'll take you to the professor! ”

The storm woman stopped her hand: "No, no. ”

“Why?” Jerry yelled.

The storm woman ignored him and turned to Shen Yi: "Before making formal contact, the professor would like to speak to you alone. He's waiting for you on the second floor in the study. ”

————————————

Entering the building, Shen Yi's footsteps slowly.

In front of you is a row of classrooms with oil paintings hanging on the walls, a clean and elegant environment where you can smell the fragrance coming from the window.

Walking up the stairs, Shen Yi looked left and right.

A man is feeding a puppy on the right aisle. Surprisingly, puppies eat upside down. Its two foreclaws grabbed the ground and its entire body was vertical in the air.

Shen Yi took a few steps forward: “Hello, do you know where the study is? ”

The man looked up and looked at Shen Yi. Shen Yi found that he had no face.

The faceless man looked at Shen Yi and pointed his finger at the end of the study.

“Thank you." Shen Yi nodded to the shameless man.

He walked towards the end of the corridor.

The corridor was not long, but after a walk, Shen Yi found that no matter how he walked, he could not reach the end.

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, as if the wind had stopped shaking.

Shen Yi looked back at the shameless man.

He stood there motionless.

At his feet, the dog looked at himself the same way, with a strange light in his eyes.

Shen Yi tried to get one step closer to the shameless man, but found himself unable to get close to him anyway.

He stood between the faceless and the study, but could not reach any end.

Even the surrounding walls are so close and distant that Shen Yi can't even touch them.

Shen Yi's brow wrinkled slightly: "Professor X, is this how you entertain your guests? ”

He didn't know exactly what had happened, but he was able to silently get himself into a situation where no one else would, except Professor X.

No response.

Only Shen Yi's voice echoes from far to near.

Shen Yi was suffocated by this strange atmosphere.

He loosened his neck tie slightly and then closed his eyes and walked towards the study.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Ten steps later, he opened his eyes and found himself still standing still.

The man with no face stood behind him, staring at him all the time.

What the hell is going on?

He took out his rifle at will and pointed it at the far door of the study: "Professor X, disarm the illusion, or I will shoot. ”

After waiting three seconds for no effect, Shen Yi decisively fired the gun.

Then he saw that the bullet stood still in the air as it flew out of the chamber.

Attached flame blooms like flowers.

Then the whole building actually caught fire.

“No...” Shen Yiran muttered: “This is not true... these are illusions. ”

He tried to reach out and touch the flame, listening only to a slight flutter, and the flame left a slight burning scorch mark on his finger, with a clear sense of pain.

If you're hallucinating, how can you burn yourself?

Shen Yi looked back and saw only the distant faceless man still standing there.

The faceless man suddenly extended his hand and pointed at Shen Yi with his finger, then pointed at himself.

Shen Yi slightly stunned.

He noted that faceless people were referring to their heads.

He seemed to be reminding himself of something.

“What are you trying to tell me?” Shen Yi shouted.

The faceless shook his head.

He retreated, step by step, and vanished into flames.

As the faceless man disappeared, a white figure appeared in front of him.

Is that the girl in white?

She stood in the corner not far from herself, barefoot, in the middle of the flame.

Long hair blocked her face and couldn't see her face.

Shen Yi looked at the girl in white and suddenly his heart was clear.

He looked up and yelled, “Professor X! Is this the maze of the mind you created for me? You deliberately designed these, what are you trying to find in my head?! ”

A loud sigh finally sounded: “I'm sorry, young man, but trust me, I just want to get to know you better. ”

Shen Yi turned around and watched: “Why don't you just spy on my thoughts? ”

“I tried, I couldn't. ”

“But instead of giving up, you set me up with a maze? ”

“No, to be exact, I just let you get into your own mind. What you see is your fantasy. It's subconscious refraction in your mind. I want to be able to discover some of the secrets I'm looking for through them, as well as to make you more aware of yourself. ”

Subconscious? Shen Yiyi.

Is it true that the faceless man, the dog, the flames, and the girl in white are all things her subconscious is looking for? So what do they stand for?

As if to know what Shen Yi was thinking, Professor X's voice came from the air: “The faceless represent your confusion about certain unknown forces. In terms of your subconscious performance, it's goodwill, which means that you think there is a power in the dark that is helping you, or has helped you, and you lack understanding of him. As for the dog eating upside-down, it means going backwards, that is, against the consequences of something, because it's a dog, because you can't be sure what that is. As for those flames, it means your understanding of your surroundings. It can be seen that you are in such a dangerous environment that you are likely to be devoured by fire at any time. You're going to burn in flames, that's because you've ever hurt. You can see the study, but you can't get near it, because you know the road you're walking on has an end, and you have to have a hard time getting there. Look where you are now, you… have just walked a fifth. ”

Shen Yi understood.

It's all an incarnation of his own consciousness.

Interestingly, the consciousness that Professor X speaks of is some subconscious that he has not discovered himself, in other words, that Professor X's explanation may be right or wrong.

That doesn't really represent Shen Yi's idea.

As for what these subconscious people represent, even Shen Yi himself cannot be certain, let alone others?

Good thing Professor X didn't mean anything to himself, he just wanted to take the opportunity to discover something he couldn't easily say. As for what he could see and understand, that was his personal problem.

Shen Yi pointed to the girl in white and said: “What about her? Is she my subconscious expression, too? ”

“The subconscious is divided into many kinds, some vague and abstract, some specific and real. What's vague is something you can't be sure of yourself, like your future; something specific, something that was deep in your memory, like this girl. ”

So that's how it is?

Shen Yi glanced at the girl in white in front of her.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to the girl and try to separate the long, covered hair.

He wanted to see that long-haired face, although he also knew that the girl was just a projection of his consciousness, that he had never seen the real face of the girl himself, and that he could not even project the face of the girl.

However, when he opened his long hair, he was surprised to see a snow-white, closed-eyed face.

Beautiful face, green face with naive. As if she was asleep, she was in a peaceful state as a newborn baby, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she moved a few times from time to time.

At that moment, Shen Yi suddenly had a strange feeling.

Sadness, sadness, despair, helplessness, confusion and so on. It's like he's been through countless changes in life and death. Time expands into an extended straight line, with no end in sight, and his mood rises and falls fast...

The girl's eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened and looked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi only felt pain like a needle in her brain.

He screamed "ah” and flew back.

As soon as he left, the girl in white had turned around and ran back.

“No!” Shen Yi yelled: “Wait! ”

He went after it, the girl in white waved her hand, the space suddenly changed, the flames disappeared and everything went blind.

Space-time shifted and the whole world shivered. Shen Yi found herself back in the study hallway.

He walked to the study.

This time, he easily came to the front door of the study.

Pushing open the door, an old man is sitting across the street.

Professor X!
