1628. Emotions
In the study, Charles and Eric saw Peacock. She was sitting in front of the window and staring blankly out. There was a book on her knees and a lady's cigarette in her hand was almost burned to the filter. It was obvious that she had been in a daze for a long time. She was motionless like a white jade sculpture. Every line on her body was perfect. Charles and Eric were stunned for a moment.
The breeze outside the window blew the curtains and brushed past Peacock's white arm. She suddenly woke up and turned to look at Charles. She was stunned for about a second before she reacted. She smiled and said, "Professor Charles, you're here."
"You're Tang Yu's wife. What do you want?" Eric said in a deep voice.
"You don't need to remind me of my identity. I understand very well." Peacock carefully put out the cigarette butt and put it on the desk. Then, she lit another lady's cigarette for herself.
"You don't smoke often, do you?" Charles looked at the desk. There was no ashtray on it.
"To be precise, I don't smoke." Peacock took a deep breath and then gently exhaled. Her movements were very elegant. "But sometimes I feel that smoking makes me feel better."
"So, you don't usually feel better." Charles seized the opportunity to talk.
Peacock smiled but did not answer. "I come from the future. You should know this, right? Professor Charles. "
"I'm not a professor yet."
"Believe me, you will be soon."
"Do you mind if I read your mind? I really want to know what the future world you live in is like. " Charles put his finger on his forehead and asked. Whether it was him or the White Queen, they would not read other people's deep thoughts at will because it would cause great hostility.
"Go ahead." Peacock said and put down the remaining half of the lady's cigarette in her hand. She closed the book on her knees and put it on the desk. The title of the book was "The Origin and Development of Mutants." The author was Charles Xavier.
Charles entered Peacock's inner world with her permission. However, what he saw shocked him and he jumped up. "… Sentinel robot? The end of the world!? This … "
Peacock glanced at him and said, "Yes, a Sentinel robot. This is the reason why Tang Yu and I came to this world. We want to completely destroy the Sentinel robots and prevent them from posing a threat to this world. "
"In that case, why did you reveal your identity and invite us over when I called you?" Charles asked.
Peacock fell silent again. She took out another lady's cigarette, but when she was about to light it, the lighter suddenly flew out of her hand and landed in Eric Lancher's hand. "It's not a good habit for ladies to smoke, especially when they're in a bad mood," Eric said.
"Because I'm a mutant … Ever since he found out, he never allowed me to participate in his plans. I don't know what he's planning, but … I'm worried." Peacock's expression was complicated.
Charles nodded. He had gotten the same answer from Peacock's mind. After some thought, he said, "But according to the information we have, the one who is pushing forward with the development of the Sentinel robot is none other than Tang Yu."
"That's impossible! If he pushes the Sentinel robot to appear, then our mission will be completely ruined! "Peacock exclaimed.
"What mission?" Charles frowned.
"The mission you gave us in the future …" Peacock glanced at Charles and found that he could not obtain any information related to the system space from her mind. This should be the protection of the system space. However, when she found out that Tang Yu was not carrying out the mission and was instead pushing the process in the opposite direction, she could not help but feel shocked.
Eric said in a low voice, "So, the purpose of you looking for us is to figure out what he wants to do. If he goes astray, then we can correct him in time?"
"No, this is not what Mrs. Peacock wants." Charles suddenly interrupted Eric's words, and Eric looked at him with a puzzled look. Charles continued, "What she wants is Tang Yu's heart …"
"Then what can you do? Your ability is … "Before Eric could finish his words, there was a sudden sound in his hand. He suddenly lowered his head and found that the lighter he had just snatched from Peacock had been split into two, as if it had been cut by an extremely sharp blade!
"I have enough strength to kill all of you … but I will never use this ability to deal with Tang Yu. I just want to know what he wants to do. " Peacock glanced at Eric, her deep eyes had turned emerald green at some point.
A hint of surprise appeared on Eric's face. "You are one of the most powerful mutants I have ever seen, not even weaker than Charles! To be able to cooperate with you, then … "
"Well, Madam Peacock, let's call it a day. I will contact you at the right time, and please pay more attention to Tang Yu's whereabouts. After the arrangements are made, I also sincerely invite you to my place as a guest, "Charles said as he stood up. He seemed to be in a hurry.
Seeing his appearance, Eric wanted to say something but stopped. He looked at Charles and stood up reluctantly.
Peacock, however, did not comment. She still looked as if her soul had flown out of her body, and no one knew what she was thinking. She waved her hand casually as a way to say goodbye to Charles and Eric.
"What are you doing, Charles? If we communicate further, we can definitely rope in Peacock! "Eric asked as he walked outside the door to catch up with Charles, who was in a hurry.
Charles raised his hand to interrupt Eric's words and said in a deep voice, "I saw an acquaintance in Peacock's memory just now."
"Who?"
"Clarice! She used to fight alongside Peacock in the future! But later she was killed by the sentinel robots! "Charles said.
"This doesn't make sense! You have known Clarice for a long time. Isn't she your student? "Eric said in surprise.
"Yes, not only that, but the future Clarice has the ability to teleport. But the current Clarice's abilities are very weak telepathy and the very common super physical and speed abilities … "Charles rubbed his forehead. He seemed to be a little dizzy at the mention of Clarice.
"If that's the case, how about letting the two of them meet?" Eric said.
"I will arrange it, but this matter cannot be known by Tang Yu. Everyone's memories of us in the mansion have been erased, "Charles Xavier nodded and replied. "Now we can only hope that we can find a breakthrough point for Tang Yu from Peacock."
…
"How's your recovery, Emma?" Tang Yu pushed open the door of the ward and smiled at Emma Frost, who was lying on the bed.
"Fortunately, although it's a comminuted clavicle fracture, the spray you gave me is too effective. The doctor estimates that I can be discharged in two days." Emma looked at the flower basket that Tang Yu had sent, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "You didn't send flowers to your wife, but came to me to please me. What do you want?"
