Chapter 2343: Mind Assault (Part VII)

~10 min read 1,942 words

Charles saw a vast world in David's brain. The key is that there are too many people in this world.

Using a more concrete method to express it, this is a bizarre space, a vast grassland, valleys, rivers, and lakes, a cloudy sky, a solid fortress standing in the distance, and a city next to it, which looks a bit like Paris from a distance, but the people are all scattered on the grass, like dense sheep flocks.

This is not a dream someone had, but the structure of the mental space of this young man named David.

If it's just this, it's fine. This group of people seems to have turned into two factions and are fighting each other. Specifically, what they are arguing about, Charles didn't hear clearly.

The most important piece of information he saw was that this young man named David Haller was a mutant.

Meeting a compatriot here was something Charles never expected. This shocking reaction lasted for a moment, and then he felt a slightly weak brain wave, weaker than his, connect to his brain wave.

Wait, the other party is also a psychic?

Swish, both stood up.

The students next to him picked up the paper that fell on the ground, looking at the cafeteria window with some doubt. The window wasn't open, why was the wind so strong?

Some students around the two were also looking around with some doubt. They seemed to have just drunk a cup of strong coffee, and they weren't sleepy in an instant.

Finding that it might cause a commotion, Charles looked left and right, then looked at David, whose face was not very good, and said, "Let's go out and talk."

The other party nodded with an ugly face.

The moment they walked out of the cafeteria, a huge phantom descended into David's mental space, a pair of big hands grasped the whole world, and David couldn't move.

Everyone standing on the grass was stunned. They turned their heads and only saw a pair of huge blue eyes.

"Tell me what's going on." Charles's voice echoed in the mental space, "Or I'll see it myself."

There was no room for negotiation. Everyone standing on the grass found that they had fallen into the hands of a monster. The powerful mind control ability was not only high in intensity but also very delicate. Everyone was completely controlled, unable to move, and couldn't speak.

"Who are you? Where is David?"

Charles wasn't asking. Obviously, he was searching in the mental space. Suddenly, he felt his spirit stagnate.

"I'm here."

A voice came from the distant void, but Charles couldn't see him, nor could he find him.

"Let me go, Charles Xavier." The voice appeared again.

"Who are you?"

"My name is 'Legion'."

With a swish, Charles's consciousness returned to his body. He stood there in disbelief. He was kicked out by someone.

He looked at the young man opposite in a daze. The other party seemed to have taken a long time to recover. At the moment of recovery, Charles found that the other party's eyes had changed, becoming sharper.

"Do you know me?" Charles frowned. When he pried into others' past, he generally looked in the order of memory from back to front. He knew that this young man named David Haller had lived in Paris for a long time, but he was kicked out just after seeing this.

For some reason, reading his mind was very difficult. Charles calculated silently in his heart. If David were an ordinary person, this moment would be enough to see all his memories clearly. Unfortunately, he wasn't, so Charles saw too little.

"I said, I am Legion."

"Is this your mutant code name?" Charles decided to test it, and he said, "I haven't given myself a code name yet. What do you think I should be called?"

"Professor X."

"You really know me."

The other party said nothing and turned to leave. Charles followed him. David stopped and turned to say, "I have to report to the department now. Do you want to come with me?"

"Which office are you going to?"

"Psychiatry 3102."

Charles frowned again. He looked David up and down and said, "Are you also Dr. Schiller's intern? How many hours of internship do you have?"

"None at all." David said, and then walked quickly toward the elevator.

"Wait for me." Charles walked faster, and he walked side by side with David and said, "I am also Dr. Schiller's intern. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you my real name before. After all, this name is too famous, isn't it?"

"I don't care who you are." He replied.

"But you have to wait for me, because Dr. Schiller may not be in the office now, and only I have the key, but I have to go to the mailbox to pick up the senior brother's manuscript fee."

David's footsteps stopped again.

"What number?"

"What?"

"What number mailbox?" David asked impatiently.

"Seems to be 268."

With a swish, a brown bag fell from the sky into Charles's hand. He took it and looked at it. The envelope was written with the senior brother's name and the amount of the manuscript fee.

"Aren't you a psychic?" Charles said in disbelief, "Can you take things from the air? Or is this a brand new mind ability?"

David looked extremely impatient, pursed his lips, and walked forward all the way. Charles wasn't used to questioning others like this, because usually, he could see what he wanted to know himself.

But the other party was obviously very strong. Prying rashly had risks, and instead, he might leak his own bottom.

It's really troublesome, Charles complained slightly in his heart. He ran into two hard bones as soon as he came to this universe, and one was his teaching teacher, and the other might be his senior brother. If this continues, what will happen to his plan?

They walked to the exit together, but David stopped suddenly. Charles immediately realized what was going on, and he said, "You just came today, right? Can I introduce you to the... of this hospital?"

With another swish, the two appeared directly in the office. When they landed, Schiller and Charles were both confused.

David reached out, and a file bag appeared in his hand. He put it on the table and nodded to Schiller.

Schiller stood in place and blinked. He hadn't reacted yet. He first looked at David, then at Charles. They might not have noticed it themselves, but their blue eyes were almost exactly the same.

"What is your name?"

"David Haller, I thought he told you."

Professor X did tell Schiller, but he only vaguely said that he had a relative who wanted to come and study. Schiller thought it was a younger generation in Professor X's family who happened to be studying psychology and might have poor ability, so he couldn't enter Presbyterian Hospital for an internship, so he needed to go through the back door through Professor X.

Of course, it could also be a mutant. Professor X couldn't be called fair and selfless in this regard. After all, in his words, these mutants have paid more than others to grow up, so what if they have more opportunities?

But Schiller really didn't expect that he sent his son over!

Legion!

Schiller just wants to sigh now.

But suddenly he thought again, the one who wants to sigh the most isn't him, but this young Charles. Hasn't he already seen through his mind ability that David is his son?

Schiller became happy again in an instant. It's not that everyone has the opportunity to call their own son a senior brother.

Schiller just wanted to mock Charles, but suddenly he became uncertain again, because Charles's expression and actions indicated that he didn't seem to know David was his son.

This shouldn't be, right? Judging from the psychological profile, this young Charles is quite radical and doesn't understand the truth of not relying too much on mind ability at all. Basically, he is in a state of I want to read whoever's mind I want to read.

He didn't read Schiller's mind, and it was just because he knew Schiller occupied a pivotal position in this universe, or Nick Fury reminded him, or it might be because of the old Professor X, but this doesn't mean he wouldn't do this to others.

Charles didn't read David's memory, impossible, he didn't do it, then someone stopped him.

But who can stop Professor X?

Even if this Professor X is a youth version, he has almost no opponents in terms of mind ability, and judging from Charles's expression now, the round of confrontation just now was Charles losing.

Wait a minute, it wouldn't be that personality, right?

Legion, which is the result of a certain ill-fated relationship of Charles, his own son, is also known as the engine of mutant major events. His ability is simple to describe, summarized in two words—Schiller.

Of course, this is just a joke. Legion has thousands of personalities. Note that this is not a personality trait, but a personality.

The main difference between Schiller and Legion is that what Schiller possesses is only personality traits. He is a personality broken into many pieces, all of which think they are Schiller, and cooperate in a way that is only slightly different from ordinary people.

But Legion is different. He is a true patient with dissociative identity disorder. Each of his personalities has an independent name and identity. They not only don't cooperate, but also fight, and even form cliques to start a war.

Legion has many personalities. In a certain event, Rogue, who went deep into his inner world, said there were more than 1,000, and they were still producing continuously. And according to Legion himself, he has 200 Omega mutant personalities.

The reason why they can be called Omega mutants is because each of Legion's personalities has unique abilities. Even if they only exist in the mental space, they can use their abilities in reality.

Schiller vaguely remembered that there was a personality that could control fire, another personality that could use mind to take objects, another person who could absorb others' souls, control others' bodies, and even a big spider.

But these don't look like the personality that controls the body now. Legion also has a strongest, and also the most mysterious personality - the fifth personality, God Mutant.

This personality calls himself Legion. He says he is the self-consciousness of Legion. The title of God Mutant is not an exaggeration. This true Legion has the ability to modify reality at will.

It is impossible to use any existing mutant rating technology to evaluate this God Mutant. His ability is everything.

At that time, a certain event led to the descent of the ancient Apocalypse gods into the world. In order to fulfill the promise of the helper, Legion wiped out the Apocalypse gods in one encounter and reset the whole world.

Since then, there have been few plots about Legion revolving around this mysterious God Mutant. There is no source, and no emphasis on his strength.

But there is no doubt that, only in terms of the mutant power system, only Franklin Richards can compete with him. The personality is also the main reason why Legion's strength rating is above most mutants.

It's a bit troublesome, Schiller thought. It seems that Charles took some radical actions to force this personality out. Now it's good, he has to bring these two ancestors at the same time. ===== CHAPTER 2344 =====
