Schiller looked at Charles's already wrinkled eyes, and he suddenly realized that the blue eyes that attracted him the most from the glimpse he had just taken of Professor X's young skin.
At a certain moment in their lives, many people always feel that certain memories seem like a lifetime ago, but they are easily evoked by certain small details. Somehow, Schiller and Charles have arrived at the door of the room together.
Schiller, who was slightly awake, opened the door, and Charles walked in behind him. The two of them came to the table and sat down. Schiller's eyes followed Charles's. Charles didn't know what he was looking at, but
It always felt like Schiller saw other people through him.
"You are really a good doctor, Professor Charles." Schiller sat on the chair, lowered his eyes and nodded, "I did not grow up in an ordinary family environment."
"Tell me the important part." Charles took out a pen and paper from under the table, which meant that he was going to write down what Schiller said.
Schiller put his hands on the table, his fingers tangled together, and his posture seemed a little nervous. Before Charles could comfort him and ask him to relax, Schiller spoke.
"I hope you only listen to this as a story, because it is not in line with the current background of the times, and you will not find any basis for reality in this story. None of this has ever happened in this universe."
"Of course, I understand that you don't have to feel pressure. Although I say this, you may not completely trust me, but when you feel that confiding in me may have an impact on your real life, think about who I am.
, what can I do, and if I really want to use your past to hurt you, then there is no need to sit here and ask you."
Schiller opened his eyes slightly. This was the first time he heard a psychiatrist say this to others, but he had to admit that this trick was really useful. The person opposite him was Professor X.
It can be said that Professor
If I lie to you, he really will make me cry to death.
Schiller smiled and shook his head, looking a little helpless. He said: "Of course I'm not worried about your moral level, professor. I'm just telling the truth. My past has nothing to do with this universe."
"Visitors from outer space?" Charles asked tentatively.
"This is already an open secret." Schiller sighed softly and said: "Everyone who has seen the scenes in other multiverses understands that I am the accident that should not have happened, but they have a tacit agreement not to talk about it.
, maybe you are worried that I will be sad."
Charles was silent for a while and said: "Maybe they think this may make you feel lonely... Do you think this universe is good enough?"
"certainly."
"Is it because your original living environment was not good enough?"
Schiller shook his head and said: "I will not make such comparisons, but will only objectively look at whether the company of my friends really makes me feel less lonely."
"Tell me about your childhood."
Schiller was silent for a while, and then said: "In this universe, there are many superheroes with super powers on the earth, right?"
"Then have you ever thought about it, Professor, what if you were the only one with superpowers in the world?"
Charles hesitated slightly. He did not expect that Schiller would bring up this topic. Charles opened and closed his mouth for a moment, but finally said: "Maybe I will try to find a similar person. If there is really no one, I might
Choose to find a secluded place to live alone.”
"Really? Do you really have such a chance?"
Charles suddenly realized what Schiller was talking about. He looked directly into Schiller's eyes and said, "You were discovered?... Discovered in childhood?"
"Probably so." Schiller gave an ambiguous answer, and then said: "Ever since I can remember, when I was about two to three years old, I discovered that I have a special ability. I can feel some of the things around me.
thing."
"what?"
"There was everything, objects thrown at me, lives walking towards me, people spreading malice toward me. It's hard for me to describe this feeling, but it was like a radar implanted in my brain. I
Feel everything around you clearly."
Charles frowned, thought about it seriously, and said: "This shouldn't be a mutant ability, because the signs appeared too early, and there was no explosive growth. Judging from what you said, it may be the brain.
Naturally mutated.”
Charles turned his eyes to one side and recalled: "In the human brain waves I scanned, I can easily find that each person's brain structure has subtle differences, and some of the brain areas develop specialized geniuses. Their brains
The internal structure is very different from ordinary people."
"It's just that human science and technology has not yet developed to the point of distinguishing such differences. I am not a brain scientist. I can only vaguely say that there are indeed abnormalities in their brain waves."
"My guess is that it is an abnormality in your brain structure that causes your brain waves to actually contact certain things around you, so you have a radar-like feeling."
Schiller nodded and did not comment on this conclusion, but continued: "I don't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate, but when I first realized the existence of this ability, I was abandoned by my parents because of my severe childhood autism.
Abandoned, he came to an orphanage."
Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that this was definitely not the worst thing that had ever happened to Schiller.
"Due to autism, it is difficult for me to communicate with other people in a normal way, but my ability gives me a strong instinct to seek good luck and avoid disaster, even to the point of predicting it. I can catch someone falling off the table in an instant
The plates that come are the first to know about the arrival of lightning."
"More importantly, I will follow my instinct to avoid those who have ill intentions towards me. I don't know how I judge, but I can hide early before some children in the orphanage want to play pranks on me.
If you open it, you can also see the true nature of some adopters with malicious intentions, so that you can hide early without being discovered."
Charles's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said, "It's already infinitely close to reading minds."
Schiller shook his head and said: "No, it's far worse than that. I can only feel vague malice, and whether the target of this malice is me or whether there is a target at all, I can feel it."
Schiller's eyes were blank, as if he had entered memories again. After a while, he said: "One day, a special adopter came to the orphanage, a foreigner. I felt unparalleled malice from him.
So I hid early and I would often hide in that cupboard."
"The teachers and caregivers at the orphanage are very used to all this. No one forced me to come out. I thought I could escape, but the foreigner with malicious intentions asked me to visit the environment of the orphanage and visit him in a foreign country.
He raised funds from the foundation organization, and the dean attached great importance to this matter, so he let him in."
"He is not an ordinary person. He is very good at observing traces. At that time, I was young and didn't know how to hide the traces of my actions. I just acted based on instinct, so he discovered me."
Schiller sighed and was silent for a while before saying: "My hunch at the time was right. He came from a laboratory abroad. The research project of this laboratory is to exert mental control on children and
Use them for sabotage."
"The vast majority of people are not wary of children, and some children with special talents can successfully complete intelligence theft or sabotage behind enemy lines after training. This is the purpose of their research."
Charles opened his eyes slightly. He didn't need Schiller to tell him which country this so-called foreign country was. In fact, this was not even a very shocking project. Most of the immoral things that Charles knew were worse than this.
Much.
"Unfortunately, I would not hide my abnormality at that time, and they discovered it." Schiller leaned to one side and leaned on the armrest while recalling: "They once wanted to take some more extreme measures.
They used various means to investigate the cause of this abnormality in me, but they soon discovered that in addition to this special sensitivity, my physical ability and strength were far beyond those of ordinary people."
"Why is this?" Charles asked a little surprised.
Schiller shook his head and said: "It's possible that, as you said, the changes in my brain area affected my pain perception. From a very young age, I found that I could hardly feel pain."
"Maybe because of this, I don't have the muscle protection brought by pain. Muscle restrictions are naturally released, so my strength, especially the burst of power, is comparable to some mental patients who have had their muscle restrictions removed."
Charles nodded, he felt that what Schiller said was possible, and then he heard Schiller continue.
"They believe that if they kill me and dissect my brain, then this power will be wasted. They think it is better to control me to engage in sabotage activities. Think about how much damage an agent with early warning ability and natural power can cause.
Spider-Man knows it."
Charles blinked slightly and said with a smile: "No wonder you have such a good relationship with Peter. He never fails to talk about his good doctor."
Schiller lowered his head and shook his head slightly and said: "I am far worse than Spider-Man. All my abilities are only a little stronger than ordinary people, and they are not even in the category of superpowers. But as I said, except for
There is no one else but me, so I stand out."
"What did that organization do to you?" Charles then asked.
"This experimental project team has existed for many years. They have indeed made great achievements in the field of manipulating others. They spent about ten years controlling me with various methods. From the perspective of normal society, it is not humane.
But most of the time I feel no pain."
"So are you being controlled?"
"Absolutely not."
Schiller shook his head and said: "They failed completely, and I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune. All their research results over the past few decades were absorbed by me and combined with my autism pathology to form my current pathology."
.”
"Usually, the symptoms of autistic patients are dissociated and scattered. Ten years ago, I had similar symptoms, but the research results they imposed on me focused on standing in the position of the subject.
Others pressure and manipulate others.”
"This has been a good correction to some of the withdrawal and inattention pathologies of autism, making my pathological condition of manipulating others an instinct, and it is still effective today."
The expression on Charles's face was very wonderful. After several changes, he sighed and said: "Although the pathology of autism is not good, manipulating others is also very evil. I really don't know whether to say that you are a blessing in disguise or that it is getting worse."
