Flight relies entirely on the support of the Bio-Force Field, unlike running on the ground which can use force to propel it, therefore it has not yet reached the sound barrier.
Even so, the speed was already astonishing. The wind howled sharply in their ears, and the Berserk air currents crashed into their faces, but were silently shattered and bounced away the moment they touched the force field on their bodies.
At that moment, many teachers and students on campus looked up and saw the figure falling from the sky, and their eyes couldn't help but fill with envy.
Behind the dormitory building, Chen Xiao chose a quiet, secluded spot and landed quietly.
boom!
He didn't pull back to cushion the impact; the moment he landed, the ground within a few meters seemed to have been struck by a heavy hammer, with soil exploding and dust billowing up.
The immense recoil force that would pulverize an ordinary person was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him, having no effect whatsoever.
Just as he stepped out of the shallow pit, clean and spotless, a swift figure suddenly swept up from behind and pounced on his back.
Unaware of any hostility, Chen Xiao didn't dodge. The next second, a soft, fragrant body pressed against his back, arms encircling his neck, and a cheerful, affectionate girl's voice cried out, "Darling! I've finally found you!"
Chen Xiao was stunned: What's going on?
"Wait... who is it?"
His body field trembled slightly, and the girl's arm came loose. He flashed away and retreated several meters away before he could see who it was.
" Yidileisi? Is that you? You're awake?"
His striking long, bright red hair and the two small, slightly pointed, scarlet horns on his forehead were distinctive features that made him instantly recognizable. He was slightly surprised.
What struck him even more was that she was even more radiant and captivating in person than in the file photos, exuding an irresistible and highly aggressive allure.
"Hmm, just woke up, darling~" The red-haired girl nodded slightly, her gaze fixed intently on his face.
What was with that intense love surging in his eyes? And that natural, familiar "Darling" left Chen Xiao speechless, filled with confusion. " Yidileisi, why do you call me Darling?"
The girl answered confidently, "Because I like you the most, of course I'll call you darling!"
Looking at the girl before him, with her fiery red hair, small horns on her forehead, and bright smile, and hearing that sickeningly sweet address...
A classic image from a certain anime suddenly flashed through Chen Xiao's mind: the national team.
" Yidileisi, I have to go now." Before he finished speaking, the air beneath Chen Xiao's feet exploded with a deafening roar, a piercing shriek tearing through the sky, and he vanished in a blur.
Only the girl, her long hair disheveled by the fierce wind, remained standing there.
She tilted her head, gazing in the direction he had disappeared, a charming yet confident smile slowly spreading across her lips, "Looks like I scared your darling away."
"But it doesn't matter, you're destined to be mine, and no one can change that."
After shaking off Yidileisi, Chen Xiao couldn't withstand her overly intense gaze, so he turned and went to the underground base, where he found Professor X in the research area.
"Professor, what's wrong with Yidileisi?"
Professor X looked up from a pile of open files, his gaze gentle and calm. " Vitas, what's wrong?"
Chen Xiao recounted the events that had just occurred.
After listening, the professor slowly nodded. "I understand. What you really want to ask is, where does her unusually strong affection for you come from?"
Chen Xiao nodded. "Yes. I only had contact with her that one night, for just a few hours. After that, she was in a deep dormant state."
Even if it's out of gratitude, at most she might have some affection for me, but she could never show that kind of... passionate, unforgettable love.
He knew very well that he was not bad-looking and even had a certain presence.
But it's not enough for a girl he's never met before to fall so deeply in love after just one meeting.
After hearing this, the professor smiled gently, "I think I've found the answer to this question."
"Professor, what's the reason?"
The professor didn't answer immediately, but said, "When you brought her back with the others that day, I noticed that, on the surface, Yidileisi was the least injured; in reality, her injuries were the most serious."
"The wound is not in the flesh, but deep in the consciousness."
"Through repeated inhumane experiments and tortures, her spirit was repeatedly pushed to its limits and then forcibly torn apart and rebuilt. While this made her exceptionally strong, it also left her riddled with holes and utterly fragile."
"Like a sail riddled with cracks, it could completely collapse if the wind were to pick up even slightly too strong."
"Add to that the overwhelming hatred, rage, and extreme emotions that had accumulated over the years, and it was already on the verge of spiraling out of control."
"So when she lay in the life pod in hibernation, I used my abilities to guide her consciousness into a deeper state of sleep and awaken the warmest and brightest part of her memory."
"You know, human potential is far more amazing than it appears on the surface."
"In this state, she will be immersed in an incredibly beautiful dream, and her soul will naturally release a unique spiritual energy that actively repairs the fragmented pieces of her consciousness."
"She will not wake up until she is fully healed on a psychological level."
"I originally thought that her most precious memory was her carefree childhood..." Professor X paused slightly at this point.
Chen Xiao immediately understood his unspoken meaning.
No one expected that the most radiant image in Yidileisi's heart would be the moment Chen Xiao rescued her from danger.
And those dreams during that deep sleep naturally revolved around Chen Xiao; perhaps it was about the two of them getting to know each other, staying together, and walking hand in hand into marriage; or perhaps it was about walking side by side through the long years, their love enduring like a gentle stream...
hiss!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.
He wasn't opposed to being captivated by a beautiful woman, especially one of the stunningly beautiful types.
After all, what normal man doesn't like someone pleasing to the eye? Unless he's mentally ill.
The problem is, I've become the object of someone else's emotional attachment, a role that plays out repeatedly in their dreams.
This is not what he wanted.
At this moment, Professor X asked, " Vitas, you've recently finished reviewing all those research materials. Do you have any new ideas?"
Chen Xiao nodded and frankly replied, "I have some ideas, but they're still at the theoretical level. Next, I want to conduct a few experiments to verify some of the key hypotheses."
Over the decades, the X-Men have destroyed dozens of Mutants laboratories and private research facilities, seizing a wide variety of materials:
Some data came from the brutal records of live dissections, some were simply data from basic stimulus tests, and others were model assumptions based on the reverse extrapolation of abilities.
Much of the content is highly valuable for Chen Xiao; some seemingly far-fetched hypotheses, which may appear absurd at first glance, are actually quite feasible.
Therefore, he decided to formally begin the experimental phase and test his judgment through practical operation.
Professor X pondered for a moment, "Of course the experiment can be carried out. Scientific research is inherently a process of continuous trial and error, and repeated verification. You can use all the basic laboratories in the base at any time."
"However, Vitas, there's one thing you must remember: the bottom line cannot be crossed."
There are no inherently good people in this world, nor are there inherently bad people. Often, the distinction between good and evil is simply a matter of perspective.
"But if someone repeatedly tears down the boundaries of their own heart, they will eventually slide completely into the abyss, becoming a truly evil person, cold-blooded and devoid of humanity."
He had high hopes for Vitas, even more so than Scott and Storm.
I don't want him to achieve fame at a young age, only to stray further and further down the wrong path.
Faced with this earnest advice, Chen Xiao solemnly replied, "Professor, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
After saying goodbye to Professor X, Chen Xiao went straight to the archives. He still had a few vague thoughts in his mind and wanted to carefully review those core files again.
He buried himself in his work and stayed up all night.
It wasn't until the next morning that he emerged from the underground base, rubbing his sore eyes and yawning.
"Honey!"
Just as Chen Xiao stepped out of the elevator, a clear, sweet voice rang out beside him. He snapped back to reality and instinctively raised his hand.
Bang!
The rushing Yidileisi was firmly pinned to the ground by his forehead, stopping her abruptly half a meter away.
Looking at the bright and dazzling face before him, Chen Xiao's temples throbbed. " Yidileisi, you should know in your heart that we only had contact once, that night."
"If you feel good about me because I saved you, I understand, and I'm genuinely happy. Who wouldn't be happy to be liked by such a beautiful girl?"
"But your current feelings actually stem from recurring dreams during your deep sleep. In reality, we haven't established such a deep connection yet."
"So... could you please not call me 'darling' the moment we meet? It's putting a lot of pressure on me."
Faced with this blunt statement, Yidileisi smiled and nodded generously, "I know, in reality I only spent a few hours with you, Darling."
"I know that what happened in my dream was all just a dream. But that doesn't stop me from liking you."
"Darling, I just really like you. If I had to give a reason, there really wouldn't be one. Anyway, I just like you."
After she finished speaking, her eyes lit up, and she looked at him without any attempt to hide her feelings, her expression open and passionate.
If you like something, you like it.
Chen Xiao never imagined that one day he would be rendered speechless by a young girl using the same words.
He clearly remembered telling Clarice not long ago that there was no need for a reason to be kind to someone.
well...
Looking at the determined and resolute girl before him, Chen Xiao sighed silently and said calmly, " Yidileisi, one-sided attraction is indeed a personal matter."
"But whether two people can be together is always a mutual choice."
"You are indeed very beautiful, and I sincerely thank you for your favor. But this intense feeling right now is suffocating me."
"Because I know nothing about you, I don't understand your temperament, I don't know your preferences, and I've never been through anything with you."
"So I think it's better for us to keep a little distance right now, like... more than friends, but not quite lovers."
"As time goes by, if I discover how wonderful you are, and I truly fall for you, then I can accept you wholeheartedly and without any burden."
What do you think?
