Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the mirror space, the Red Devil teleported and disappeared. It turned out that the magic rope had no effect on him. He did not break free immediately, maybe he was just waiting for an opportunity.
The only clue was gone, and Sona had no choice but to float towards the direction of X Academy to find the answer to the problem at its source.
The Red Devil returned to the room he had left from before, still retching and looking in a miserable state.
"No way, no way, there is an enemy that even the Red Devil can't solve?" White Queen Emma looked at the Red Devil playfully, with sarcasm in her words.
"Her ability can restrain me. If you can do it, then do it!" The Red Devil knocked on the table angrily, feeling very angry.
He had never felt so aggrieved before as his teleportation ability, which he was so proud of, was targeted like this!
"Okay, then I'll try to move a little." The White Queen slowly stood up and walked out in her high heels.
"The opponent is also a psychic, so you'd better not get into trouble." Although the White Queen was very happy to mock, she was a teammate after all, so the Red Devil reminded her.
"Psychic?" The White Queen raised her eyebrows, feeling that the enemy seemed a little tricky.
......
After entering X Academy, Sona walked carefully along the wall. The students on the road simply ignored her. It seemed that they were being controlled to do repetitive tasks and had no consciousness of their own.
Sona took the elevator to the basement of X Academy, and was greeted by Hank, the blue-haired mutant who she had some impression of.
"Ms. Sona, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me." Hank said, and without waiting for Sona's reply, he walked inside.
? what's the situation?
But Sona remembered that he had remained motionless before. Could it be that Charles broke free from his control?
Not right.
Sona discovered the problem. Instead of keeping up with Hank, she used the hanging ring to create an illusion of herself and let the illusion keep up with Hank's pace.
Sure enough, at a corner, a beam of blazing red laser appeared and directly shattered the illusion.
It all happened very quickly, and after Hank saw that there was not even a corpse left of Sona, his eyes gradually lost focus, and his whole body returned to its mechanical state, returning to the place where he had been standing still before.
Alexander also walked out from the other side of the corridor, also in a controlled state.
Since Jason can control the professor, he can naturally use the professor as a pedal to control the X-Men, but this consumes a lot of energy, so he can't move around.
Sona hid behind and witnessed everything. The fact was just as she expected. Hank was just being controlled to act. Fortunately, she did not believe it rashly.
What should I do now? If I rush over directly, I will inevitably have a head-on confrontation with the controlled X-Men.
Sona searched the magic stored in her mind again and came up with a plan.
She quietly entered a room and locked the electronic door from the inside. Sona silently chanted a spell in her heart, then her body lost strength and slowly fell down.
Looking at the ghostly body, Sona felt that this magic was a little strange.
Soul out of the body.
In Ionia, magic related to the soul is basically forbidden and ordinary people cannot access it.
It is said that Master Shen of the Order of the Balance can freely travel between the real world and the spiritual world, and his soul blade can easily kill spirits.
Apart from Ionia, only the Shadow Isles near Bilgewater have stories about souls and ghosts.
In the soul state, Sona can easily pass through any wall and directly enter other people's bodies... (No way, sir, this also needs to be tortured?)
It is no wonder that Ionia cannot learn magic related to the soul. If the spirit is strong enough, it can invade other people's bodies at will, and it is inevitable that it will be used by criminals to do bad things.
Passing through the metal wall, Sona floated to the room with the brain wave enhancer and saw the man with the metal test tubes stuck in his back again.
If you want to find out the truth, you have to enter the inner world of this madman.
Sona could feel that the other party's spiritual power was very strong. If she rashly entered his spiritual world, she would probably be suppressed by him.
After thinking for a while, Sona decided to enter Charles' spiritual world first and release his control first.
Although the magic used was different, and it was the Overmind who helped him enter Steve's spiritual world before, the overall feeling did not change much. After a dizzying spin, he arrived at a new place.
No, not a new place.
Sona took in the scene around her and recognized that this was the lawn of X Academy.
Just when Sona was still confused, an old acquaintance found her.
He was indeed an “old” acquaintance, because although his face was covered with wrinkles and there was little trace of his youthful handsomeness, Sona could still recognize from other aspects that this was the old Charles.
"Uh... Charles, hello?" Sona can speak in the spiritual world. She greeted Charles with some disbelief, her face full of confusion.
"Sona, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still so young." Charles smiled peacefully, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Seeing Charles, who was only slightly older than herself, suddenly become a grandfather, Sona found it hard to accept. She asked, "Charles...how did you...get so old?"
Sona wasn't sure what identity she should use to talk to Charles now, and even her tone became a little restrained.
"Really? I think I look pretty young among people in their eighties." Charles touched his face and replied.
Eighty years old? Did he spend more than fifty years in the spiritual world?
Sona's eyes widened, thinking this was a bit outrageous.
"What year is it now? What happened in the past?" Sona asked anxiously.
Charles looked at Sona in confusion, but didn't ask any more questions and began to tell her what had happened over the years.
Maybe people become more verbose as they get older. Charles's narrative ability has declined significantly, and his dragging pace makes people feel crazy.
But Sona didn't want to know what Charles had been through over the years. She just wanted to confirm whether he had really spent more than 50 years here.
You know, if one thinks he is dead in his spiritual world, then his real self is not far from death. The enemy may want Charles to die naturally in the spiritual world, and then get rid of Professor X without bloodshed.
Just as Charles was still telling about the X-Men making the world peaceful, Sona interrupted him and said, "Charles, what I'm about to say may irritate you."
"This world is fake? Right?" Charles laughed out loud when he saw Sona's surprised expression again.
"I know. I knew it a long time ago."
"This is just a design. In The Truman Show, everything is the best ending. There is no longer a gap between humans and mutants, there is no more war in the world, and even natural disasters have been reduced a lot."
"Since you know everything, why don't you break free?" Sona couldn't understand why Charles chose to stay in this fake world for more than fifty years.
"Why should I break free? Isn't it good here?"
"No pain, no disease, no war!"
"This is the world I want, a world where humans and mutants live in harmony." Charles looked at the sky and sighed.
"What about the Void? You are enjoying yourself here, but who will save the people in the real world?" Sona asked.
"Sona, did I tell you about Logan?"
"He's a very old mutant who's been alive longer than you and me combined."
"He has saved the world many times and endured a lot of pain, but in the end? No one regards him as a hero. When he shows his steel claws, people are still scared and run away."
"Human life span is limited, why do we have to do something thankless?"
"So, stay in this world with me, Sona. Don't worry about the troubles of the real world anymore. Live freely for yourself!"
These remarks shocked Sona as if she had eaten a full bowl of beef in Lanzhou ramen.
At first glance it seemed to make some sense, but after a little thought, Sona realized the problem.
The person in front of me is definitely not Charles!
Sona narrowed her eyes, and magical power quietly gathered in her palms.
Volume 1: Chapter 123: The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest
Golden magic energy gathered in her hands, and Sona quickly launched two attacks. The fan-shaped magic blade easily tore the body of the "Charles" in front of her.
There was no scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. Charles' body turned into dust and drifted away. The surrounding space also changed afterwards.
The light suddenly dimmed, and the scene changed to the dim X Academy lobby, where Charles was half-kneeling and chained in the middle.
He seemed to have experienced inhuman torture. He looked up at Sona weakly and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
A look of disbelief flashed across Sona's face, and she hurried forward to cut the chain that bound Charles.
"Charles, what happened?" Sona helped Charles to a seat nearby and asked.
"I don't know either... I woke up and found myself tied here." Charles' expression shrank as he pressed his temple. He must have suffered a brain trauma.
"Don't resist yet, I will heal you." Sona put her hand on Charles' back and condensed red magical energy.
Charles nodded. He thought it was a magic that could restore his mental strength, so he opened his mental barrier without hesitation.
"Charles, how long have you had mutant powers?" Sona asked in confusion.
"More than forty years, what's wrong?" Charles was puzzled.
"Oh, I'm so ashamed. I've only been practicing magic for more than 20 years." Sona said with a smile, and her expression became fierce again: "Master, you can cheat and pass off fake things as real!"
Jason was shocked when he pretended to be Charles again. He didn't know why his disguise was exposed for the second time.
"I can tell at first glance that you are not Charles!" Sona quickly formed a seal with her right hand and shot a red dark harvest into Jason's body.
After being tricked by Sona into treating him, Jason thought his disguise had not been discovered, so he released the protection of his psychic power.
This also allowed Sona to find a breakthrough, and she could severely damage Jason's soul through Dark Harvest.
Why was Sona able to see through Jason's disguise?
Because Sona didn't believe that Charles would be suppressed like this in her own consciousness space. If Charles was really suppressed at home without any ability to fight back, then the opponent would not have to waste time acting and could directly control Sona's soul by force.
Jason overacted a bit.
But what was Charles' situation that allowed others to mess around in his consciousness space? Or did he not enter Charles' consciousness space?
In fact, this is all due to Jason's ability. His mutant ability is not just simple mind control, but also a kind of psychological suggestion similar to the power of words.
Even without mind control, ordinary people would involuntarily obey Jason's orders, and this ability was even more effective against the mind controller.
He first used words to deceive Charles into using the brainwave enhancer, and then used Charles as a pedal to control the X-Men. Even Kesa and Jean were not spared.
Simply put, Charles is like a tool, obeying Jason's instructions in every word and action.
Jason's body was torn by a wound from the Dark Harvest, and he disguised himself as Charles, and after many flashes and changes, he finally turned into a little girl.
The little girl knelt on the ground, looking at Sona with resentment, her heterochromatic eyes still shrouded in crystal tears, looking so pitiful.
Because his soul was severely damaged, Charles, who was bewitched by Jason, also regained a trace of self-awareness. He broke free from the restraints and regained control of his own consciousness space.
Seeing that Jason's true form was actually a little girl, Sona didn't have the heart to attack him for a moment. She was just vigilantly guarding against whether Jason was still thinking of some sinister tricks.
Charles flashed and appeared next to Sona. He looked almost the same as he did outside. The only difference was that he found his long-lost hair in his own consciousness space.
"Are you the real Charles?" Sona pointed at Charles with her magic folding fan and asked.
Although the Dark Harvest did cause damage to Jason, Sona had to be more cautious after the previous two experiences.
"Will a fruit shop owner admit that his fruit is not sweet?" Charles complained about Sona's straightforward question, and then proved his identity in some way.
After confirming that the person in front of her was indeed Charles, Sona let down her guard and looked at the little girl Jason again.
"So, why is he a little girl?" Sona recalled Jason's appearance in the real world and compared it with the little girl in front of her, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps.
It’s like suddenly finding out that the little girl you’re chatting with is actually a big guy picking his toes in front of the computer screen.
"He's actually a poor man." Charles did not regard Jason as an enemy, and his tone was full of regret.
As the son of Stryker, but a gifted mutant, Jason has been subjected to countless experiments and torture since he was a child.
The little girl in front of him is actually Jason's second personality split out of his self-protection consciousness.
His mutant abilities were also enhanced to Omega level by scientific means.
Charles did not embarrass the personality of a seven-year-old girl, but simply sent her back to Jason's consciousness.
Sona did not stay in Charles' consciousness space for long. She closed her eyes, activated magic, and turned back into a soul state.
Jason fell into a coma due to the overload of the equipment behind him. Charles took off the brain wave enhancer, and the X-Men returned to normal.
After Sona confirmed that everything was fine, she wanted to return to her body, but the next scene made her stand there in a daze.
At the end of the corridor, there stood a figure with fluttering blue hair, stars in his eyes, and a smile on his lips.
Who else could it be if not Sona?
Ok? ? ?
Sona, who was in soul state, was stunned. Why did her body move on its own?
Through the eyes of true vision in the soul state, Sona discovered the reason.
