Chapter 2655

Stark hung up the phone and said, "The ladies are fine, but Jarvis said there are some things to discuss with me; today's itinerary ends here; what do you think?"

Peter glanced at Baker, who was still a bit unclear-headed, turned to Schiller, and asked, "Doctor, I see his state isn't very good; do you need any medicine? Perhaps we can have someone send it over."

Schiller shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem, but I think ending the itinerary just like this today is a bit too hasty; Eddie shouldn't have filmed much either, right? Perhaps you guys can go to the beach to play for a while tonight; didn't they say there's a bonfire party?"

"It looks like Wanda and Jarvis have encountered some trouble." Stark said, "Perhaps it's related to the children; I think I should go comfort..."

"It would just be comforting." Schiller said, "And you've never been very good at comforting people; it's more likely you'll say the wrong thing and get beaten up by Wanda."

Stark opened his mouth to retort, but after pausing for a moment, he found he couldn't retort anything, so he had to mumble, "I won't get beaten up by her; at least I'll run."

Steve looked at Schiller and said, "We just don't want us all to be out playing while you have to go handle work alone; this isn't fair to you; you can't always be the one helping us solve trouble."

"I have no interest in bonfire parties." Schiller shook his head and said, "Besides, my glasses are missing; I have to go buy new ones; before that, it's not very suitable to go to crowded places."

"What's your prescription?" Peter asked.

"About 300 degrees or so." Schiller casually pulled out a number, then said, "Although I'm not completely unable to see, I'm still worried about bumping into people; I'll take Baker back; you guys go play."

Hearing Schiller say this, the others couldn't force him to go; Stark sent a text message to Jarvis, and Jarvis and Wanda also said they were going back.

"Your current situation isn't suitable for staying in a hotel." Stark said, "I originally wanted to wait until the house in Hollywood was bought before inviting you guys over; now it seems we can only stay at the Beverly Manor; Jarvis will come to pick you up..."

Just as he said this, Jarvis's car arrived; he drove a very spacious family-type commercial vehicle; Wanda sat in the second row with the children, and Schiller and Baker sat in the last row.

Wanda looked back at Baker, appearing a bit vigilant, obviously discovering that he wasn't an ordinary person, but seeing Schiller sitting beside him, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" After the car started, Schiller asked, "You look a bit panicked, and you're more concerned about the children; you know this isn't good for your own mental state."

"Yes, in fact, I'm also very panicked now; I'm just holding on." Wanda's tone was a bit trembling; she said, "Billy... Billy's ability has awakened, earlier than me, and even much earlier than his grandfather; he's just a little baby now! He..."

Schiller frowned slightly; he thought that in the original WandaVision work, Billy should have telepathic abilities, or telekinesis, while Tommy possessed super speed.

But in this show, these two children were actually composed of Mephisto's power, not real children, just characters in an illusory world, so it was hard to use as a reference.

Generally in comics, the demon god related to Wanda was the Great Darkhold Cthon, who had also stretched his claws toward Wanda.

But in this universe of Schiller's, whether it was Mephisto or Cthon, they had no connection to Wanda; Cthon might still be unwilling to give up, but Mephisto simply didn't know Wanda.

And the Scarlet Witch of this universe had improved in strength, almost mastering the Chaos Magic in the universe, becoming the master of Chaos Magic in this individual universe; it was very difficult for others to influence her children by influencing her.

Schiller also didn't see that these two children had been influenced; the Gray Mist hadn't either; their birth and growth process were normal, so it was very likely that they were indeed very powerful now.

Professor X had once told him that mutants would have a day when their abilities erupted; there was no pattern to the time of eruption; it could be in childhood, or it could erupt after adulthood.

But the only pattern that could be explored was that the more powerful the mutant, the more unstable their abilities in childhood, and the more likely they were to erupt earlier, so there was also a saying that the earlier the ability erupts, the stronger it is.

Anyway, the most powerful mutants in the world now basically erupted their abilities when they were children; no one waited until adulthood to erupt; Scarlet Witch, Polaris, and Quicksilver basically all noticed their abilities when they were five or six years old; Bobby was even earlier; when he had just learned to speak, he discovered he could turn water into ice.

But no matter who among them it was, no one had ever thought that a mutant's ability could erupt in infancy; this was an example that had never happened before; even those Epsilon-level mutants with abnormal appearances weren't born looking like Nezha; they only slowly revealed abnormalities after they grew up.

According to Beast's research and investigation, the X-gene seemed to have undergone some mutations to adapt to the society of ordinary people, just like a fetus in the mother's body would stimulate the mother's hormones to let the mother protect itself; the X-gene would also choose not to show dominant symptoms during the childhood of the carrier, so that the individual could survive.

Otherwise, the ancients wouldn't care about so much; seeing a baby with abnormalities, killing it was it; after so many generations, the X-gene wouldn't be extinct, but it would definitely become extremely rare.

Conversely, showing it after growing up a little bit could greatly increase the survival rate of the young body, because besides parents who had feelings helping to cover it up, changing from a baby who couldn't walk to a child who could run and jump also gave special abilities room to play; at least a young mutant could think of a way to run if they couldn't beat someone.

This was exactly what Wanda was worried about; even if the mutant ability appeared after the children could walk, she wouldn't be this anxious, but now what she was holding was a baby who couldn't even talk; now that they possessed mutant abilities, she was afraid they couldn't control them at all.

Wanda tremblingly told Schiller what had happened in the mall just now and stated her speculation, "I think Billy might have telepathic mutant abilities; otherwise, why would everyone cry along with him when he cries?"

Schiller, however, had a different view; he watched the surveillance footage in the mall played by Jarvis and instinctively noticed that people didn't start crying when the baby made a crying expression or opened his mouth; the abnormality appeared when the baby let out his first scream.

"Ma'am, I guess you don't know enough about telepaths, but it doesn't matter; I'll just tell you about ordinary people's emotions."

Schiller's voice remained very stable and powerful, which well appeased Wanda; she nodded, wiped the tear stains on her face, and said, "Go ahead, Doctor; I will definitely remember."

"Humans don't feel sad only when they let out a cry; rather, they feel enough sadness to let out a cry; the cry is the result, not the motive."

"Knowing this, you should understand that your child had the emotion of sadness before letting out the cry."

Wanda nodded.

"If he were a telepath like Professor X, then in the situation where he had no way to control this ability, the moment he felt sad, others should have reacted, instead of waiting until he started crying."

"So the cry is the key?" Jarvis asked while driving.

"Yes, I felt a kind of infectious power from this cry; did you guys feel sad when you heard this sound?"

"I... I don't know." Wanda took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if I was sad because the one crying was my child, or if I was influenced by something else; in short, I'm in a bad mood now."

"Many people will also react to a baby's cry, but they won't have such an intense reaction; just now when I heard the cry in the video, I also felt some emotions I couldn't control."

The two turned their heads in unison and looked at Schiller with some shock; this was the first time they had heard Schiller say he couldn't control his emotions.

In fact, the situation was a bit more serious than what Schiller said; the moment that cry came out, the High Tower sounded an alarm.

But the Superego and the Ego didn't detect any signs of external intrusion; it was purely Schiller's own emotional loss of control; they discovered that the emotional department was operating abnormally.

Schiller had autism spectrum disorder; their emotional channels were basically closed; autistic children had emotions in their hearts, but they didn't have channels to communicate with the outside world, which meant they wouldn't laugh when happy and wouldn't cry when sad.

Their emotions didn't go through physical channels after brewing and erupting, so naturally, there wouldn't be any body language or facial expressions; their emotions were completely internalized, as if they had poured into another world.

But just now, Schiller's sad emotion took a path that completely exceeded all Schiller's expectations; simply put, it went straight for the eye sockets; this was completely abnormal.

Schiller wouldn't cry from the heart; he could feel sadness, and he could also imitate others' crying actions, and through learning, connect these two things, realizing he was in a sad atmosphere, and learn to cry like others; this was the status quo of most autistic patients.

But just now, before the emotion had gone through rational analysis, and the environment hadn't gone through judgment, Schiller wanted to cry.

Since there was no external brainwave intrusion, it proved that this was Schiller's instinctive reaction, but where did this instinct come from? It couldn't be a limited-time healing experience card for autism, right?

The cause of autism was actually the lack of a certain neurological instinctive reaction; to conjure up this reaction out of thin air was almost equivalent to restoring a piece of bacon to raw pork; it violated the laws of physics.

There was simply no organ used to complete this process, so how could this process be completed out of thin air?

Then only one possibility remained: this reaction wasn't completed by Schiller's spirit, but by this universe's body.

Note, Schiller's previous life's body didn't have this function, which led to his spirit also not knowing how to do this work, because he had never done it before, just like humans wouldn't use gills to breathe; they simply didn't have this part, so naturally, they couldn't master the method.

But whether this body actually had gills now, Schiller really couldn't say, because this body was actually kneaded out by the Superego, and he didn't knead it according to his previous life, but created one out of thin air, so this body was actually healthy?
