Marvel World New Magneto

055 Suspicious



"You're out of date, Bobby." With John's words, the tactical simulation class ended.

Nick, Mariano and others, who felt their eyes widened, applauded the young people, and the younger children also cheered for their older brothers and sisters. They didn't know that these enemies who appeared on the scene had taken John's gang a few days ago. The boy played well and was just happy for the excellent performance of the students.Seeing that the abilities of young people are so outstanding, everyone is full of confidence in the future of the college.

"How did you do it?" Ororo looked at Eric in disbelief. As a mentor, she knew John's level very well. Before that, she never expected that Burning Man could turn a defeat into a victory, but Johnny of the Torch. And the Stone Man, the two most powerful warriors in the Fantastic Four, even if their abilities are weakened, can they be defeated by John's ability?Simply ridiculous!Ororo wouldn't believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"What did you do to John that he suddenly changed beyond recognition?" she couldn't help asking again.

"Just a little reminder." Eric replied calmly, and before he could finish his words, he was hugged by John who rushed over.At this moment, the master demeanor of Burning Man was all gone. His face was full of ecstasy after he succeeded, and he shouted excitedly: "I did it, boss, I did it."

John's excitement had been brewing for a while, and it was hard for him to be so calm today.

"Yeah boy, I'm so proud of you!" Eric exclaimed in his ear, and he had to raise his voice as the whole danger room shook with the echoes of compliments and clapping.Then he raised John's hand and brought him to greet them all.

"Everyone, this is our hero—John the Burning Man." He raised John's hand high like the referee crowning the king in the ring.

As soon as the words fell, thunderous cheers and applause rang out again.

Not far away, Bobby mechanically clapped his hands, watching his old friend stand in front of everyone and receiving praise with joy. His mood was a little complicated. John's changes were so violent that he felt that the familiar face had become unfamiliar. stand up.

John... Bobby was a little lost as he read the name of his best friend.

After the course, Eric sent the guests and students away, and stayed in the danger room by himself to ponder the artificial intelligence.

"John's growth is amazing, Eric." The professor said with a smile, he already knew what had happened today, and the growth that the trouble boy had surprised everyone.

"Those who work hard should be rewarded, that's what he deserves," Eric said casually.I don't intend to talk about John, he has a more important discovery. Some performances of the artificial intelligence in this danger room in the simulation class made him a little suspicious. Because there were too many people here just now, he didn't have time to check. After people left He just made some discoveries, and now he's about to talk to the professor. "This is what surprised me." He pointed to the AI ​​and asked, "Is it alive?"

In Eric's eyes, this intelligent device is very different from other machines. It has a magnetic field similar to that of humans, expanding and contracting at an extremely slow speed, just like a cold-blooded animal in hibernation. The difference is that it fluctuates so little that it's almost unobservable if you're not paying attention.

The professor's answer confirms this.

"Yes, like an animal or a fish, it has some self-awareness that can make it better at the task." The professor nodded. "I got this in an adventure. It's from another civilization. It's very clever, isn't it?"

"It's really clever, but it's also very dangerous." Eric looked at the artificial intelligence deeply and commented. "I found that its magnetic field fluctuated wildly when John and the others were on the field. I don't know much about such a machine, but from what I know about humans, it only behaves like this when I meet people who are very hateful. . So I have a question, who is it for? Everyone, or just us?"

"I think this is a misunderstanding. It was set to simulate human behavior patterns to attack mutants, and it was probably after John entered the field that the conditions required to start the program were met to produce such fluctuations-- It's just a training aid, Eric." The professor squinted for a while, then explained to Eric. "I'm more worried that what I said last night will trouble you. I shouldn't have said that." The professor shook his head and laughed at himself. "Maybe I'm getting old and weak in front of you."

When Eric sent the professor back last night, he talked about the contradictions within the mutant race. The professor was a little depressed, and he showed this depression to Eric unabashedly. The people I liked bring negative influences, so I came here on purpose.

He was obviously overthinking it. Eric was never the kind of character who would be easily beaten. On the contrary, the more setbacks he was, the more courage he had to summon, and the more he fought, the more courageous he was until he took down the enemy.

After listening to the professor's words, Eric smiled slightly: "Don't worry about it, everyone has a low ebb, and sometimes I will do some strange things. People are like this."

Seeing that the professor's expression was still a little gloomy, he walked over and put his hand on the back of the professor's hand. "Don't worry about me, Professor. I can fully understand your pressure. Occasional weakness will not make me shake my will, but will make me respect you even more. People who are not afraid are reckless, and they insist on their own ideas when they know the future is difficult. The only people who are truly brave." Eric comforted, his body temperature was transmitted through the palm of the hand to the back of the professor's slightly slack skin, like a warm spring breeze blowing, the old man was a little better.

"You've carried the Academy and your fellow citizens on your shoulders over the past few decades, and we've relied on you to not hurt too much. Now that we've grown up, you're not alone, you and we are not Well, we will help you win living space for your compatriots, and we will have a bright future." Eric said gently, patting the professor's shoulder.

The professor nodded and smiled reassuringly.

After returning from the underground base, Eric was about to take a break and read the newspapers of the past few days. Before he could pick it up, the door was knocked, and this time it was Ororo.When she has no official business, she is reserved and rarely comes alone. She always comes with Jean or in the name of visiting Selena, but this time Eric guessed her purpose, John's growth Not only shocked his classmates, but even the tutors couldn't sit still. It's a shame to be behind the students. Ororo is not a lazy guy like Rogan, or a guy like Scott. Prejudice, she is a very responsible person.

"What?" Eric asked, pulling out the chair for the female colleague.

"Come on some of your magic, and let me enjoy John's treatment." Ororo replied, and there was a bit of resentment in her words. She felt very uncomfortable because their relationship did not get help in front of John, especially before she Already expressed the desire to get Eric's help.Eric could understand her mood, but he didn't say anything and poured her a cup of tea.

"I'm not a magician, I just showed John a path that suits him, and he dared to run on the path, that's all." Eric sat down and said while handing the tea to his female colleague .

"Are you deliberately nurturing him?" Ororo felt sensitively that Eric treated John differently than others. "You don't like Bobby?" She asked again. Among the boys in the senior year, Pete was too gentle and John was too frivolous. Only Bobby's composure was what she valued the most.

"I just trust John more." Ororo was slightly surprised by Eric's words. She had some guesses, but she never thought of the reason. She hurriedly explained it for Bobby.

"There's no way Bobby betrays us, he's one of us."

"I'm not saying I don't trust Bobby, I really like his stability, but he's a little conservative, and what I need is someone who is passionate enough to follow me without hesitation at critical moments. That person is John." Eric said slowly, seeing that Ororo was still a little puzzled, he explained to her.

"Baby is such a person, his heart is divided into two halves, half is on the side of ordinary people due to the relationship of his family, and the other half is the position of being a mutant. He is worried about being reborn for fear of losing either side. I'm not worried about him abandoning us when we're in trouble, but I don't think he's going to tolerate such flaws when it comes to making small changes for the good of the mutants -- I'm not saying this. It's not what I want him to do, but I have to be prepared to not accidentally capsize."

Ororo understood what he was talking about, but she disagreed a little. She had lived in the academy for a long time. She would worry about ordinary people, but she would never be suspicious of the same kind, but Eric was not. greatest enemy.On this issue, individuals' experiences determine their perceptions.

"Too suspicious," she criticized.

"Maybe my experience created this character." Eric lifted the cup and slowly tasted the taste of the tea. "Maybe I have a pessimistic view of life, wanting to put trust in people and always be alert to everyone who may be a threat to me. This is the lesson of life, and in the hard struggle I have evolved into Such a creature. It can be seen that evolution does not make people perfect, it just makes people more suitable for the environment and more suitable for survival. Even if it turns me into a monster, I can only survive by relying on this mutation. "
