Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 57 X-Men 1

Charles Francis Xavier?

The moment Bai Ye heard the voice in his mind, he immediately became alert and looked to his side.

Not far away, Smith, who had been controlling the machine, was now looking at him with a calm gaze and a smile, clearly possessed by Professor X.

"I'm sorry, but I might need to borrow your friend's body for a while in order to talk to you," Smith said apologetically.

"Professor X?" Bai Ye asked tentatively.

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Smith's face: "You know me?"

"I vaguely remember. Your telepathic and mind control abilities are terrifying; it's hard to forget them."

As Bai Ye spoke, he gently put down the weight in his hands and then pressed the emergency stop button on the machine.

With a hiss, the entire device immediately stopped operating, releasing Bai Ye's bound body.

Feeling incredibly light, Bai Ye slowly dismounted from the device, stared at Smith, and asked, "You haven't already peered into my brain, have you?"

"Of course not." Professor X gently shook Smith's head and said, "Please believe me, I will not casually pry into other people's memories without permission."

'He won't spy on me casually, which means I can spy on him seriously now...' Bai Ye thought to himself, but he did believe that Professor X hadn't invaded his consciousness.

After all, he has too much hidden in his mind. If Professor X saw it, he definitely wouldn't be so calm.

It's even possible that, like the Deadpool massacre of the Marvel Universe, he'll go insane upon realizing he's a character from a Marvel comic book.

If Professor X were to actually arbitrarily peer into other people's minds, Hydra, hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D., would probably have already fought him to the death.

Professor X then showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "Moreover, your mental strength is thousands of times greater than that of an ordinary person. If I were to forcibly invade your consciousness with my mental power, the difficulty would be no different from invading the consciousness of thousands of people at the same time, and you would definitely notice."

This was also what surprised Professor X the most. The reason he was able to find Bai Ye's location so quickly was because Bai Ye's mental power was too conspicuous.

If the mental power of ordinary people is like fireflies, then Bai Ye is like a torch in the dark. When he used his mental abilities to search a large area of ​​New York City, he could spot him at a glance.

Bai Ye wasn't too surprised by Professor X's words. After all, his mental attribute had reached 2.7, and as long as he concentrated, he could use bullet time as a normal state. So it was quite reasonable for him to have a strong mental ability.

Bai Ye casually picked up a bottle of cola from the shelf beside him, took a sip, and sat down on the steps to ask Professor X, "What does the renowned Professor X want with me this time?"

"I want you to bring a child to my school," Charles said. "She just awakened her mutant abilities and ran away from home out of fear. She's now being hunted by other mutants who covet her powers."

"With a child? A mutant? Could it be Rogue or Rakshasa? Like the plot of X-Men 1."

As Bai Ye pondered this, he said, "What does this have to do with me? Can't your X-Men do this?"

"It's too late to get the X-Men there, and besides, this actually has something to do with you," Charles said with a strange smile. "Because that kid wants to come find you, and he's almost at your doorstep."

"What's going on at my doorstep?" Bai Ye was taken aback. "Why would she want to find me?"

"I think it's probably your comments on the news that you have no prejudice against mutants, plus a little bit of physical advantage," Charles said truthfully. "Now that kid is coming to us based on information found online."

"My remarks?" Bai Ye immediately thought of what he had said in a previous interview with a reporter, that mutants are also human. So it really did have something to do with him.

"Alright, I need to reconsider your request," Bai Ye said. "Now you need to tell me the girl's identity and why she's being hunted by mutants."

"No problem. The child's name is Mary. She's currently being hunted by Sabretooth, a mutant under Magneto's command. I don't know why she's being hunted," Charles said.

At first, he thought Sabretooth was chasing Wolverine, but he didn't expect that after Rogue and Wolverine separated, Sabretooth's route of action would change, and that's when he realized something was wrong.

A glint flashed in Bai Ye's eyes: "It really is the plot of X-Men 1. That means Magneto now possesses a machine that can turn ordinary people into mutants."

According to the plot of X-Men 1, Magneto was dissatisfied with the way humans treated mutants, so he developed a machine that could turn humans into mutants.

The plan is to wait until the global summit, then activate the machine to transform all the world leaders below into mutants, thereby changing the situation of mutants.

As it turns out, the machine would drain the mutants' abilities and stamina when it was activated, so Magneto planned to temporarily transfer his own abilities to Rogue, who had the ability to absorb energy, so that she could activate the machine on his behalf.

Even more incredible is that the mutants created by this machine, although possessing abilities, will die from genetic collapse not long afterward.

The ending of this movie is, of course, a cliché story of good triumphing over evil, with the X-Men thwarting Magneto's plot through their efforts.

Of course, Bai Ye wasn't dissatisfied with the ending of the story. What he valued most now was the machine in Magneto's possession that could turn ordinary people into mutants.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately raised his head and said, "Of course, no problem. Saving people is our duty. Where exactly is Mary now?"

Charles was stunned for a moment when he saw Bai Ye suddenly become more enthusiastic. He didn't react and just stared blankly at Bai Ye.

"What are you standing there for? Time waits for no one. You're procrastinating too much. What if something really goes wrong?" Bai Ye urged.

Although it's unclear why Bai Ye suddenly changed so much, it's a good thing that he's willing to take action.

Charles nodded and said, "The child is currently near St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, and the saber-toothed tiger chasing her will find her soon."

"After you find that child, please send her to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, please." After saying that, Smith's previously calm expression immediately turned blank, and he looked at Bai Ye in front of him with a puzzled look, saying, "Boss, why did you get off the machine?"

"Don't worry about the details." Bai Ye stood up from the ground and said, "You stay here for now. I need to go out and take care of something. I'll be back in about an hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye's figure disappeared from the spot.
