Chapter 3436 Sons of Midnight (35)

Chapter 3436 Son of Midnight (Thirty-Five)

When the cold sweat ran down the lenses of the sunglasses, it was like a helpless boat floating helplessly on the black ocean. And when the sweat dripped down, the water stains left on the forehead were like swaying wormwood, looking pale and helpless.

Dario saw that the mysterious man raised one hand and took off his hood, revealing the face of a young Professor X.

Black holes swallow all light, so there is no color. But if one day human eyes can distinguish colors other than light, then perhaps Charles' eyes will make people feel that the most mysterious and powerful celestial body in the universe is blue.

Schiller actually did not move, nor did he take off his hood. Everything they saw now was because Charles had directly modified their brain waves. To put it bluntly, it was an illusion.

Schiller didn't remember Charles having such abilities before. After acquiring the cosmic-level brainwave amplifier, he really evolved again.

Schiller didn't know if it was his illusion, but Charles, who looked younger, also became younger mentally.

For most people, this should be a compliment, because a young mindset means breaking away from stubborn ideas, thinking flexibly, being brave to try, and being innovative.

However, Charles Xavier in his youth could not be described as gentle and generous, but he could only be described as having begun to take on a human form.

Among the many analyses of Professor X's image, one view once became mainstream, that is, when Professor X used his psychic abilities, he was not only influencing others, but was also being influenced.

His somewhat saintly views are not actually entirely his own views. Rather, he is too deeply influenced by ordinary humans, so he is unwilling to use his powerful abilities to brainwash the world and create a good living environment for mutants.

After coming into contact with the real Charles Xavier, Schiller believed that this statement was wrong. Charles was not influenced by the thoughts of ordinary people to have such moderate ideas.

Ultimately, it's just because he has no shortage of love.

Although it cannot be used as an iron rule, many studies in the field of psychology have shown that people who lack care, lack a sense of identity, and lack a sense of racial and family belonging are more likely to go to extremes because they always want to seek care, identity and belonging.

If they are incompetent, that might be better. But if they happen to be strong and in power, they can easily do things that seem completely crazy to outsiders.

On the contrary, people who are not lacking in these qualities are relatively more likely to become moderate and tolerant, and their ideas will not easily go to extremes. In other words, they can choose to go to extremes, but they prefer to remain neutral and tend to every option that can achieve a win-win situation for all parties as much as possible.

The reason why Charles Xavier's ideas seem so naive is not that he has no choice, but that he is willing to choose so.

In other words, he chose this because he was arrogant and idealistic enough. He felt that he could find a way to have the best of both worlds to resolve the conflict between ordinary people and mutants, instead of having to eliminate either side.

In contrast, Eric is more realistic because he is hit harder by reality. He always feels that he does not have the energy to think too far into the future and that he can only survive by finding a way out in the present.

Therefore, Charles's more neutral and tolerant stance does not mean that he is kind. Slightly different from the popular stereotype of Professor X, Charles Xavier in the comics is not a saint. If anything, Naya is more human than him.

Such characters exist in many literary and artistic works. Because their existence and abilities are much higher than those of ordinary people, their wisdom is too high, and their minds are too deep, they seem to have no humanity. Professor X is a typical example.

Young Charles Xavier had very typical antisocial personality traits. Although he was not a mental patient, he was definitely not a normal person.

In short, Charles was born crazy, and Eric became crazy later. Otherwise, how could they play together?

When they were young, they were in cahoots with each other for a long time and had a tacit understanding. If they hadn't broken up due to some misunderstandings later, it would be hard to tell who was the villain now.

To put it in a popular metaphor, when they were young, Charles was a cat and Eric was a dog. When they were old, the situation was reversed, Eric was a neurotic cat and Charles was an emotionally stable dog.

Professor X's return to a younger mentality is a bit scary if you think about it carefully. I'm afraid Magneto is the only one who is simply happy about it.

For example, now, Charles could just use his psychic attack ability to punch each of them, but he chose to create an illusion and enjoy the two people's frightened but powerless looks.

Schiller thought that the tentacle-like wings made by Kong Su were very suitable for Charles, and the main theme was the arrival of an Outer God. It was a pity that Naya was not here, otherwise he would have to come and learn from him. The atmosphere was not as good as that created by a human being, and you dare to call yourself an Outer God?

Schiller didn't know what Charles did in the hallucination. When he had almost had enough fun, Schiller said, "Help me find out what kind of deal they made and the relationship between Dario and the dark elves."

"They have a plan." Charles said, "Dario wants to use Samuel's ability to cleanse the dark elves and allow them to settle on Earth openly."

Schiller took a deep breath. This Dario Ag was even more shameless than he thought. He was almost as shameless as Nick.

"What are they going to do?"

"Dario wants to create a navigation accident during the starship's maiden voyage, and then have the dark elves come to the rescue..."

Schiller raised his hand to signal a pause. He said, "The dark elves are here to save the situation. How are they going to save the situation? Or how are they going to have a chance to save the situation when all the superheroes are here?"

Charles paused and said, "Daario didn't seem to know who would escort the starship on its maiden voyage. At least he didn't know that Eric and I would come. So he only asked the dark elves to prepare the gravity trap."

"The dark elves' gravity trap..."

"Yes, the location is outside the solar system, in the Kuiper Belt. I didn't see the specific coordinates in his mind. Maybe they are not fully prepared yet."

"How do they know the spacecraft will fly in the direction of the far sun? What if we fly in the direction of the near sun?"

"As far as I know, surface civilizations usually start their extraterrestrial exploration from the inside out. The star ports of primary interstellar civilizations are also generally built far enough away from the stars, and their navigation should also avoid the stars in the parent star system as much as possible."

"Because for civilization at this stage, stars are still relatively dangerous and important. If some accidents affect the stars, it will be a disaster for the genocide. So he may think that our first voyage will also be to the outward."

"But the Kuiper Belt is also very large. How do they know which direction we will go out?"

"Dario's memory doesn't contain this information. It seems that he doesn't know much about cosmic science. All of this should be arranged by the dark elves. But Eric mentioned something to me before. It seems that the best navigation route can be calculated based on the orbits of stars in the galaxy. I think we are no exception."

Schiller didn't really know much about this, but he could probably imagine it. In general, the solar system is not a large disk dotted with many planets that many people imagine.

The sun is also constantly revolving, although not very fast, but it is definitely moving. When sailing, it is not a simple moving object hiding from a stationary object, but a moving object hiding from a moving object, and the influence of gravity must also be considered.

Even though the Neptune Star Port is indeed at the outermost circle of the solar system, there are still many things to consider when a starship wants to fly outward. There will be special experts who calculate the best route, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will fly along this route.

The data of the solar system is not a secret. Humans can measure it, and other civilizations can measure it. Dario may not be able to measure it, but the dark elves can definitely. So as long as they set traps around the best route, the probability of affecting the fleet is still very high.

"Erase their memory of my presence here tonight." Schiller said to Charles, "Don't let them find anything unusual. We can just investigate privately."

"Aren't you going to lay some traps for them?"

"Ahem, I'm a superhero now. Superheroes should be upright. Brainwashing sounds evil, so I won't use it."

"Okay, okay." Charles said with a smile in his tone, "I did all the evil things, Mr. Superhero, you don't have to feel guilty at all...if you really have a conscience."

After ending the contact, Schiller returned to the surface of New York and flew all the way back to the Moonlight Temple, thinking silently in his heart that Charles had also become a bad person.

After returning to the Moonlight Temple, he called Loki.

"Does the Dark Elves' gravity trap use Asgard technology?" he asked.

"Yeah, most of their weapons use Asgardian technology, what's wrong with that?"

"Is the gravity trap strong?"

"Normally. Thor would fall if he jumped in." The sound of flipping through documents came from Loki's side again. He said, "But the premise is that he is completely defenseless and does not have the hammer. It is best if he drank the night before and was woken up early the next day. When he went out, his eyes were still closed. If he fell in, he would definitely trip."

"Don't expect me to ask you why you know so much." Schiller snorted, "I have no interest in what's going on between you two. I just want to know the harm this trap will cause to the Midgard."

"Why do you want to know about this? Gravity traps are militarized weapons, equivalent to missiles on Earth. If there is no war, no one will use this thing against you."

"you sure?"

Listening to Schiller's tone and looking at the research on the dark elves, Loki was a little uncertain. He frowned and said, "Do you think the dark elves will use gravity traps against you?"

Schiller briefly told him his guess. Loki said, "It's not that simple. Your first voyage must be a demonstration voyage. In order to let more people on Earth know about the progress of technology, you will probably choose to fly near the home planet and let all humans have a full view of the starship."

"If they want to put on a show, the best time is when the starship is close to the earth, so that more humans can see their heroic side. Then why is the trap set outside the solar system?"

Schiller had the answer after a moment's thought.

Although Dario is evil, he is not stupid. He probably anticipated that someone on the human side could read minds, so he deliberately found Samuel and asked her to modify her memory in advance, so as to mislead the mind reader and make him think that the dark elves would set traps outside the solar system, so as to relax their vigilance in other places.

It seems that his plan to go to the Roxxon Energy Industrial Building to keep the appointment tomorrow was also planned by him.

Although he had not disclosed his ability to read minds to the public, it was not a secret among the top brass. Many people in Congress knew about it, and it was leaking like a sieve. Dalio could find out with a little time.

Schiller wanted to eavesdrop and catch evidence, while Dario wanted to use Schiller's mind-reading ability to mislead humans. It was another case of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind.

It’s a pity that even if Dario is really the oriole, he is just a snack in front of Charles, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
