Book 5 Chapter 14: The Fighting Power of Team Strike The Blood

“Professor X . ”

Shen Yi approached Professor’s study room and sat down at the desk, opposite of the old man .

“First of all, I would like to thank you for your help in assessing my partner in facing his fears . ”

“I didn’t help him, I just made his mind stronger . The danger is still there . He just can face it more bravely . But in his current situation, it is not enough to support and face the real crisis . There will be situations like this in the future that is beyond his reach, and he still needs the courage to face it by himself . ”

“It’s enough . When we fought against Magneto, my partner was once in trouble . At that time, Luo Hao stood up and managed to save everyone . The human potential is sometimes endless, the surface is weak, but behind there is tremendous power . In peacetime, he is useless, but at every crucial moment, he’ll step forward . ”

Professor X looked at Shen Yi: “I guess you didn’t come all the way here to tell me this . ”

“Oh . ” Shen Yi smiled . “The second thing is to quit your business . In an hour, we will leave here . ”

“When are you coming back?”

“It’s almost three hundred days later . If it doesn’t come back then… then we will never come back . ”

Professor X stunned: “Is there a third thing?”

“I hope you can help me see the girl in white dress again . ”

When Shen Yi made this request . Professor X was not surprised at all .

He just looked at him and asked, “Why do you want to see her?”

Shen Yi opened his mouth but didn’t say anything . Thought for a moment, he said: “When I saw her face yesterday, I had a strange feeling . I felt that she was lonely, helpless,  and desperate… it was like… It’s like a wandering child looking for their parent, or a ship drifting around in the sea and looking for a dock… or a person lost in a strange place, only saw unfamiliar faces… It’s like a child looking at the sky out of jail… I can’t tell . That’s what it feels like . It’s complicated and weird, but it’s full of sadness and sorrow… I want to see her and want to know what she is . Why every time I see her, it’s in such a strange situation . ”

Silence filled the room for a moment, Professor X said: “That girl is a very special existence, more like a conscious being . ”

“Conscious being?”

“Or I should say so more appropriate … the soul . ”

“You mean it’s a wandering soul? How can you be sure?”

“I can’t be sure, but I did have a similar experience before,” Professor X answered .

Shen Yi shocked .

In X-men 3, Professor X was killed by Jean Grey . During the period of his death, relying on his own strong mental ability alone, he let his consciousness exist without being scattered, staying in the world, and successfully found a new body .

No one knows the post-death world better than him .

Professor X said: “Not everyone can have a soul . The soul is a manifestation of consciousness, and it needs to be supported . It is like a powerful force you have, you also need muscles and bones as a support . However, only a few can break through this limit, so after their own death, their consciousness will not die out and form a soul . Even so, the soul cannot stay in the world for too long . Without a physical body, it is like a flower with no root and only dead ends . ”

“How long can a soul hold?”

“Ordinary people may hold for three to seven seconds . I insisted for three days . ”

Shen Yi had to admit that Professor X’s spiritual power is indeed too overpowered .

Shen Yi shook his head: “That’s not right . When I first saw her, it was…” He thought for a moment and didn’t know how to calculate the time .

The first time he saw the girl was in the mission of X-men . If it was calculated in terms of the time flow rate of this world, then the existence of this soul has exceeded the whole year . However, if the calculation is based on the time flow rate of Bloody City, the time has only been around forty days .

After thinking about it, he said: “Her life will not be shorter than two months or even longer . ”

Professor X said a faint response: “I said that I can’t be sure what she is . I can’t give you an exact answer about that child . What I’m talking about is just one possibility . If you want to see her, you don’t need my help . ”

“How can I see her again?”

“You need to cultivate your mind slowly feel it and experience it . You have Jerry’s ability to communicate . That’s the power of the soul . Just like Mr . Lou, you must control this power by controlling your heart . What Mr . Lou needs are calmness and strength, then what you need is understanding and tolerance . If you relax your heart, you will find that between life and life are no longer strangers . Less calculation and more understanding, it is the key to your spiritual ascension . ”

Looking at Professor X indifferently, for a long time, he finally stood up and said to the professor: “Thank you very much for your reminder, Professor . I now know what to do . ”

He did not ask again from the Professor to help him see the girl and turned away from the room .

———————

An hour later, everyone finally returned to Bloody City .

Left the homeworld, everyone has a long breath .

In these ten days, everyone was busy . Now they felt so tired . They didn’t want to do anything now, they just wanted to go to bed early .

Returning to their respective residences, Shen Yi first went to the bathroom to take a shower . The hot water was like a lover’s hand and fatigue was washed away .

A sudden knock came from the door .

When he came out and opened it, he found that was A Li .

“You finally came back . I’ve been looking for you for the whole day . ” A Li said excitedly .

“I hope you have some good news for me . ”

“Of course!” A Li replied with excitement: “All your Energy Cores are sold, and the information you need is also handy . ”

Speaking of that, A Li transferred 8000 BP to Shen Yi: “Someone still wants to buy more Energy Core, I don’t know if you still have it . ”

“No more . Information?”

“The return you promised?”

Shen Yi throws a T-600 and a T-800 Energy Core to A Li: “T-600 is the reward for selling Energy Cores for me . T-800 is payment for the  information, it worth at least 3,000 points . ”

“This is seven people’s information . It may not be all, but almost every basic things . 500 BP for each . You are 500 BP short . ” A Li transmitted the data to Shen Yi .

“Thank you, yes, if free, help me to collect some of the summoned soldiers’ equipment from CrossFire, especially the badges . I also need more Writ of Favouring . I will try and look for them the next time I return from the mission world . ”

Shen Yi traded 500 BP to A Li and threw a box of cigars to him . A Li caught it and took a cigar and sniffed it on his nose: “Wow, Cuban cigar, it’s a good thing . How many BP did it cost? Thank you . ”

“You’re welcome, if you have something I want, you can come to me at any time . ”

Shen Yi returned to the sofa and began to look at the information .

He looked up and saw that A Li was still standing in the doorway . It was a bit strange: “What else is there?”

In the list of seven people, there is an additional message from the collector:

“All of the above-mentioned attributes are the attributes after wearing the equipment, basic verification is correct, but do not consider the strength of their post-mission growth .

I don’t know who is going to deal with team Strike The Blood, but it doesn’t matter . I only care about getting money to do things . If I guess correctly, it should be the team that Xie Rongjun recently issued a reward order to collect information . If you are one of its members, I’ll give you a word of advice: You are not their opponents .

A Li is an idiot, he signed an unequal agreement . Xie Rongjun’s shot is much more generous than you . I’m not optimistic that you can get rid of team Strike The Blood, so I give up the one-sixth harvest you promised .

If it weren’t for me to owe him a share of human relations, I would never agree to take over the deal . Damn, I’m losing .

Give you a suggestion: modify the contract . Thing so-called one-sixth harvest, I would rather give up .

Finally, good luck to you . ”

Shen Yi finally understood .

He looked at A Li: “Do you want to modify the contract?”

A Li shrugged: “My friend is not optimistic about you, I have no way to convince him… I have sent your information to him . From the point of view of power, you really did not have any possibility to win against team Strike The Blood . Because of incomplete information, plus a modification of the agreement, so he is willing to make concessions . For each person’s information, you only have to pay 500 BP . ”

Shen Yi nodded and said: “Yes, I agree, but I hope you won’t regret it . ”

“Of course . ”
