"They're right in front."
Peter gestured towards Qin, instructing her to lift the sound barrier and establish a spiritual link for all members.
'Everyone, stay alert and listen to my command.' Peter's Mind Stone induction sounded in everyone's minds.
He crouched and quietly sneaked to the door of his original private laboratory at Baxter Building. The metal door had a thin crack, and Peter looked in through the crack. The sight in front of him made his breath stop.
In the corner of the room, Susan·Storm and Johnny·Stone were tied up with thick high-voltage restraint ropes, with heavy restraint collars around their necks, and soundproof plugs in their mouths. They were glaring angrily at the three figures in front of them.
They were the three intruders who escaped from the Xavier mansion before.
The silver-haired boy grabbed his hair irritably and apologized repeatedly to the tied Susan: "I'm sorry, Susan... I mean, Ms. Storm, I'm really sorry. Give us another half hour, and we'll let you go immediately after we finish handling the matters at hand."
"Half an hour is not enough, Benjamin, the computing power here is more primitive than I thought." The red-haired girl was wearing a pair of flat glasses and was quickly typing codes on Peter's host terminal. The concentration between her eyebrows almost made Peter think it was Qin himself.
On the other side, the youngest brown-haired girl wearing a large red trench coat was spinning on the revolving chair boredly. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she took out a silver handheld game console from the bottom drawer of the table.
"Wow! Retro handheld console!" the little girl shouted excitedly.
Johnny, who was struggling crazily in the corner, opened his eyes wide and let out an angry whine. The silver-haired boy stepped forward helplessly and pulled off the cloth in his mouth.
"That's my collector's edition!" Johnny yelled, "Kid, don't touch my archive!"
The little girl pursed her lips. "How stingy... But this machine only has one save slot? It's too backward."
"Don't touch my gear, short winter melon!"
The little girl paused, turned her head, and looked at him with resentful eyes.
Johnny felt inexplicably guilty. "Please, that's my record from childhood to adulthood..."
The little girl's expression softened instantly, and she put the handheld device back on the table politely. "Okay, for the sake of you being Uncle Johnny, I'll just leave it alone."
Johnny was stunned. "Wait a minute... what do you call me? Uncle?"
Peter outside the door was also full of doubts.
At this moment, the light in the laboratory suddenly dimmed, and then, an extremely strange pale yellow light lit up from the hand of the silver-haired boy.
Peter looked at it intently, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
What the young man held in his palm was a yellow crystal fragment emitting high-frequency trembling energy - the essence of the fluctuation was clearly the same as Mind Stone!
But the whole Mind Stone is currently placed in the Vibranium box next to the red-haired girl. Where did this fragment come from?!
The red-haired girl took a deep breath and turned to look at the boy. "Are you ready, Ben?"
"Let's do it. The sooner we can complete the rewriting, the less trouble we will have in the future."
The girl raised her hand, and a circle of extremely complicated red runes ignited in her palm. The Mind Stone in the Vibranium box was lifted into the air by an invisible force, gradually getting closer to the broken fragment. The two sources of energy with the same source but slight repulsion began to stir wildly, and the instruments in the entire laboratory were shaking violently.
They are trying to fuse, or even... destroy this gem!
'Do it!'
Peter no longer hesitated and shouted loudly in the Mind Stone link.
Boom!
The ceiling suddenly collapsed, and Logan rushed down like a violent hound. Evan threw out dozens of bone spurs to block the escape route. Kurt flashed beside the restraint chair, trying to rescue the hostages.
"You're here now?!" The silver-haired boy had a cold look in his eyes, crossed his arms, and faced Logan with three alloy claws, "Old man, you have no idea what you are stopping!"
"Protect the gems!" the red-haired girl Hope shouted sharply.
The little girl Stephen took a deep breath, opened her mouth again and let out a terrifying sound wave impact, which instantly shattered the oncoming bone spurs and air waves. At the same time, Kitty took Qin through the wall, the red light in Qin's eyes surged, and she forcibly pulled the suspended Mind Stone towards herself with her telekinesis!
"Come back!" Hope threw out a fiery crimson Magic long whip with his backhand, tightly wrapped around Qin's wrist, and the two telekinesis forces of the same origin collided fiercely in mid-air.
"This is impossible!" Qin was shocked to find that the other party's mental intensity was not inferior to her own.
Pulled by the violent energy, the entire Mind Stone completely collided with the fragments!
Boom--!
A dazzling golden storm exploded in the center of the room, and the violent shock wave sent everyone flying against the wall. The violent energy spread along Hope's arms, and the flesh instantly glowed with charred white smoke.
"Hope!" Ben yelled heartbreakingly.
"Let it go!" Peter faced the violent energy field, the attachment system of the suit biting the ground, and pushed forward step by step with difficulty. Seeing the girl who was very similar to Qin in extreme pain, an instinct from the depths of his soul urged him to rush forward.
Peter rushed out and grabbed the two competing gems!
Tsk--!
The sharp edge of the fragment instantly cut his palm, and hot blood seeped into the veins of the gem. Indescribable high-dimensional energy poured down his arm like water from a bursting river, and the world in front of him instantly turned into a white void.
Consciousness floats in the boundless sea of stars.
Peter lowered his head and saw that his body was showing a translucent light.
In front of him, two phantoms of Mind Stone were suspended like huge mountains. One of them was intact, but the other was covered with cracks and burning red runes.
"Where is this..."
"It's the gap between your mind and the gem."
A low, vicissitudes of voice came from the void.
Peter turned around suddenly.
Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man wearing the same type of battle suit. The man was tall and tall, with a neatly trimmed short beard on his chin, and a deep old scar running across his right eye. Under the Spider logo on the chest of the suit, there was a scarlet shimmer circuit.
That face was clearly his own after years of baptism.
Peter's throat rolled. "Who... are you?"
"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?" Future Peter twitched his lips mockingly, "Don't look so suspicious, I'm not in the mood to play guessing games with you."
