When you infiltrate a guarded place, what is the first thing you do, or get?
Or, to put it another way, when your game enters a copy and you plan to fight through many obstacles and reach your destination safely in the fastest way, what is the first thing you need to figure out?
There is no doubt that there may be many answers, but there is only one most important one - the map. You need to figure out what's ahead of you, how many roads and forks there are, and then guard against traps, guards, ideas, etc... And luckily, except for Carle and Hak, no one is more familiar with where they are than Harry. This house, to be honest, who wouldn’t be familiar with their other home? …
"I don't think this is going to work," Agel said unhappily, crossing his arms. "This doesn't sound like a negotiation."
Her injury has almost healed so far, but every time the young girl looks at her smooth and new skin, she always feels a dull pain, and thinks of the boy's gentle and careful care - if her boss hadn't given the order, she would She didn't even want to step into this house again. The shame would torture her little self-esteem every minute.
"It doesn't matter whether he looks like it or not," Aael is not as sentimental as the girls. He followed Sa in his early years and has a heart of stone. "He will not kill a child out of anger, Agel, we The boss doesn’t kill cubs.”
"But he sent someone to capture that kid," Agel raised his voice, and his black high-heeled boots made a shuddering knocking sound on the ground. "He didn't say it, but we all know that he wanted that kid to help him. busy."
"I'm just asking him for help," the red devil said ruthlessly, and twitched the corners of his mouth in a bad way, "You are worried like a newbie who has never killed anyone."
Agel's eyes turned yellow for a moment. At that moment, Aael thought she would spray venom at him, but immediately, he found that Agel's feet were suddenly "glued" together, which made her lose her center of gravity; The next moment, his eyes rolled up and he fell down softly.
The moment Aael saw his colleague rolling his eyes, he almost immediately wanted to escape through his abilities, but unfortunately, almost in less than a second, the petrifying touch came again - he couldn't even lift a finger. He couldn't move, let alone activate his ability to escape. He could even feel that his thinking was starting to slow down and solidify, as if he had been put into a refrigerator and gradually stiffened...
This feeling is extremely terrifying, second only to waiting for the death of the body.
He stared angrily, wanting to roar with his eyes, but the culprit who had identified him had no time to pay attention to him. The blond boy just came out of the darkness with another boy with a hateful expression, He trotted past them in a swaggering manner. As he passed by, the boy with black hair and a hateful expression glanced at them with disdain.
"You think he can't hear you when you talk here, right?" The black-haired boy spat at him pitifully, then raised his legs and ran away. …
With just a little thought, the spirit of a sufficiently talented telepath can easily spread to the entire house, wandering around and reporting information to the brain, which is like building a three-dimensional map image. For Harry, although it is rare to use this skill, now he can "see" clearly where the men sent by Erk are, or he can "see" clearly through the perspective of others. This house is like the palm of his hand. The toy in his heart, even if someone goes to the kitchen to get some water, he can still find it.
Looking at it, he also found that there were very familiar people here, for example, Aael and Agel, several men and women he had met at Erk's wedding. To say that the number of people was not small, Erk never likes to take too many people out with him.
When Harry knocked down the group of people all the way, and finally came to the door of the study, he also quickly knocked down the two subordinates at the door - one with wings was petrified, and the other tried to reach out to Dr. with claws and fangs. It was floated high, then fell hard, floated high, and fell hard. A silencing spell was also cast during this process, so the screams would not reach the study room...
Wait until Harry falls down
They used telepathy to "peep" at the situation in the room and found that Ea was not among the people Erk brought. Harry's heart sank because he realized again that Ea was indeed missing. At this time, in this era, Harry didn't think that Ea's disappearance would just mean that this elder who knew how to enjoy himself went on vacation to his secluded villa.
As for Carle, Harry also quickly found him - oh, as usual, there was a chessboard and a table between him and Erk, but his expression was not dull at all. His look was much better than what Harry had seen in the past few days. Even colder, vigilance and doubt were projected on Erk's body, and the latter... well, the latter was wearing that ugly helmet, so Harry's exploration came to an abrupt end.
"How's it going?" Dr., who was waiting behind him, whispered. He watched Harry running all the way, knocking down everyone in a rage. Not only was he not nervous, but he also wanted to see what happened next, "What happens next?"
Harry stared at the study door with his green eyes for a moment in silence, then pulled the door handle and found that it wouldn't open.
"The Alajo hole is open." He muttered quickly and pulled again, but still no movement.
"What does this mean?" Dr asked.
"It means it's not a lock, it's metal stuck together." Harry moved his limbs, "Dr, step aside."
Dr stepped aside with an expression like someone watching an interesting drama.
Then, Harry took a deep breath, tapped the door lock gently, and swiped to the right like a card swipe. The metal part of the door lock obediently twisted and separated. Then, before anyone in the room could react, he kicked the door with lightning speed.
"Clang!"
"Carle!"
The door panel fell down in Dr's shocked eyes, and almost with a swish, Harry rushed in towards the exposed gap and ran to his father's side, so he could only roll his eyes and follow cautiously. Come on, go into that room. After all, what's the use of dilly-dallying? Will dilly-dallying prevent him from seeing Harry's "Uncle Erk" wearing an ugly helmet?
When Dr followed up, he glanced at the other person and found that the expression of the man wearing the helmet couldn't be called angry or disappointed. He seemed to be waiting for the door to be kicked open. He watched Harry run all the way to Carle's side with eyes like As tough as steel without any ripples.
"Frances!" Hak and Sea, who were guarding Carle, both screamed.
"...Francis?" Carle looked at the child who almost rushed to hug his arm, "Why...were you attacked?"
Carle was shocked, pulled the child behind him, and then looked at Erk angrily. He thought that this middle-of-the-night negotiation was just a tug-of-war between adults. They hadn't even started fighting, and there was no loud noise at all. But if there hadn't been Someone went to "disturb" Francis, how could a sleeping child be so keenly aware of the situation and come here?
"I want to ask - what happened?" Although he knew what happened, Harry hugged Carle's arm tightly, went through the motions nervously, and complained cryptically, "I thought it was Sea calling me outside. ——As a result, my cousin and I were all strangers along the way.”
Erk looked at the child and showed an expression of unknown meaning. He was as if he were sitting at a negotiation table. His expression was controlled and every word he spoke could not make people feel that the purpose of his trip was to ask for help: "I don't think you want to You need to ask this question, you should see the answer in anyone’s mind.”
This attitude, this tone, even though his face was still the same, Harry still felt a sore throat, and couldn't help but cover his face with distorted features.
I want to share this with AA and Peer when I go back!
Harry thought in a very bad way.
"——You sent your own men to attack him?!" Carle roared.
"Not an attack," Erk said grimly, "just inviting him over, talking, negotiating.
, help me, you're too nervous, Carle. "
"Oh, yes, it doesn't count as an attack," Dr said mockingly, "After all, the people you sent are either lying on the ground or being thrown outside and hanging on the trees. How can this be considered an attack?"
This venomous statement made both Erk and Carle look at him strangely, so he immediately shut up, sneered, and walked behind Harry as if he hadn't said anything just now.
Harry looked at him in shock - Dr's courage had doubled if he dared to make a mockery in such an atmosphere!
"——I'll tell you the truth," Erk's expression changed. His current expression was one that Harry was familiar with, restrained and calm, but he had just calmed down from his anger when he said concisely, " Ea is missing, Carle - I need the "Mastermind". "
Sea and Hak's expressions immediately became unnatural, and the two looked at each other - they could both think of this issue and argue, so it was obvious why Erk wanted to find a child.
"Oh, listen to what you said, "Ea is missing", so "you need a mastermind", I can't see the cause and effect relationship, I can only see that you are giving orders to a child," Carle smiled mockingly and said Like a raptor about to bite the opponent to death, his eyes were sharp, his tone was low but his teeth were gritted. The gentleness that had been restored due to the peaceful life in the past few days disappeared. He said word by word, "I will not allow you to use it."
"I don't have anyone else here who can use the mastermind," Erk said quickly. He stood up immediately and stared at Carle. Although his expression was calm, Harry could feel that Erk's emotional ups and downs were actually very intense. Like the sea in a storm, "The situation has reached a point that cannot be ignored. Carle, I must—must use the mastermind! Otherwise we will lose more people!"
"You're dreaming." Carle replied coldly, "Neither he nor the mastermind can do it - if you want to listen to my opinion, Erk, just go back to where you came from!"
Dr hissed and looked down, Harry instinctively pinched his thigh - but unfortunately he pinched the wrong one. His expression was tense, but Dr. could tell that his mood seemed to be confused.
Erk's expression looked indifferent, but also seemed to be extremely angry. He looked over at Carle as if he had become an unreasonable person, which heightened the atmosphere of terror in the room.
"If you are unwilling to participate in this war and choose to put down your abilities in order to stand up - then you can stay here, no problem, but in critical moments, your students as mutants should not be just you - "
"How dare you say that!" Sea almost immediately rushed to beat him, but was stopped by Hak, although the latter's expression was also scary, "Who do you think caused his legs!"
Erk ignored him and glanced at Harry with needle-piercing eyes. The boy burst out with an unstoppable decisiveness when he kicked in the door, and now he was almost glued to Carle's side, obedient, well-behaved, and submissive.
Erk couldn't quite put his finger on what it was about it, but it looked harsh.
"——The cub who is reading with his knees down," he continued, "he is not a few years old, he is a teenager. He has a powerful strength that is almost as strong as yours. He is the only person I can find who can use the master brain now."
"I don't know what you are talking about," Carle said sarcastically. "Putting your hope of finding your companion on a teenage child? You may be crazy, Erk. You and I both know that the gestation of abilities takes time and Trained!"
"But some people are naturally talented enough to achieve their goals." Erk bites his tongue and speaks aggressively, "Why do you think I brought my subordinates to guard outside? He defeated everyone, Carle, he is a genius, You can start trying to fight for your own destiny."
Erk stared at the boy, trying to put pressure on him, while Hak bravely blocked his view, and Carle held the boy's hand. The two of them looked at Erk.
This behavior is frowned upon.
——Although you praise me so much, I think you don’t like me very much now.
Unlike what most adults think, Harry is very resistant to pressure, especially the pressure from Erk... However, now he wishes he could give himself an earplug so that he can face his stepfather after he goes back. If he gives it now What puts him under pressure is that no one else would feel this way - well, how should I put it, embarrassed and embarrassed, a little angry but unable to express his anger, he doesn't know what attitude to use to face this seemingly... ...a very unscrupulous and strange Erk before he changed his ways.
Carle's answer to Erk was a sneer.
"It's your choice whether to fight for your destiny, Erk," he almost laughed angrily, "it's not about forcing yourself to invade someone's home in the middle of the night."
"Agreed," Dr agreed, and Harry gave his sleeve an awkward tug to prevent him from attracting fire.
"The situation is imminent. We don't have a few years for people to consider and choose." Erk said quickly in a hoarse voice, "You know how difficult Ea is to defeat and capture - but after the third one of my subordinates disappeared, She who went to investigate this matter also disappeared. Do you know what this sign is? Carle, this means that this is not just the fourth disappearance. The human knife is already on our necks, and you are still here. Protect the physical and mental health of minors!"
He even yelled at the end.
Erk is really angry now. Harry thought. He actually yelled at Carle! To Carle!
"But, but," he tried to point out Erk's contradiction so that his father could calm down, "you--you said last time that you respect the freedom of thought of every mutant... I don't think an attack in the middle of the night is okay. respected."
Sea burst into laughter, and Dr pinched him secretly - this speech sounded too weak and had no courage at all! Does he think Erk is the good stepfather now? !
"Tougher!" he whispered in Harry's ear.
"I respect your freedom of thought," Erk said immediately, "I will not take you away by force, or force you to have the same creed as mine - but what I have to do now must be done by you, and I need your help. , child, I promise not to take you away, no matter how hard I agree with Carle’s way of educating you.”
Carle's expression looked like he wanted to fight with him, and Dr whispered in Harry's ear: "He seems to be taking a step back appropriately to achieve his original goal, negotiation skills, ha."
Erk's eyes moved towards him again, and Hak, who had keen hearing, adjusted his glasses and warned: "Arcturus——"
Generally speaking, of course you can explain to your brother what some people do, but the premise is that you don't do it in front of others, especially a person like Erk. Once he gets angry, you don't know what he will do. What are the consequences.
Although he was not particularly familiar with Francis' cousin, Hak still did not want this child to suffer misfortune.
"What do you think?" Erk noticed that Carle almost tightened one of the boy's hands, which showed that he cared about the boy very much, but Erk would not give in for such a thing, "Are you willing to help me? Like It's you who help Agel, Aael and Sea, do what you can."
Harry glanced at his father subconsciously, wanting to seek his parents' opinions, but Carle seemed to be struggling too. His father's face was a little pale, and he seemed to want to say something loudly, but was restrained.
"Yes, you should also realize it," Erk said. "Carle, you know that you can't make decisions for this child. As you said, only he can make his own choices."
Only then did Harry realize why his father was suddenly silent: people like Carle, when he felt that he had no right to interfere with others, he really would not interfere, and Harry was not even his student now, let alone him He had no right to say "no" on Harry's behalf.
But you are my dad. Harry sighed inwardly. Although the United States pays attention to respecting children's personal autonomy, Harry is extremely willing to listen to Carle's opinions because Carle is so wise and calm. He can always guide Harry to the right path. Harry is also willing to rely on his father, although this situation is really difficult. Not much.
The Xaver family is still very particular about respecting individual wishes and cultivating children's independent thinking ability. They love Harry, but they are very careful not to dote on him blindly.
Thinking of this and looking at Carle, Harry began to hesitate.
He is very willing to help Erk. After all, it is Ea who is missing. Even if Erk does not come to ask for help, he will find a way to find her. After all, although Ea has not appeared in his life for a long time, he loves Erk and Carle very much. Of every child, she was Erk's most loyal friend and subordinate, as well as his teacher in other matters. Harry loved her very much and could not ignore her.
But...if you agree immediately, will this hurt Carle's heart?
Although there was a reason for the hostile relationship, Carle was obviously afraid of harming Harry, so he protested Erk's opinion so firmly. He didn't want Harry to get hurt, which made Harry feel a warm feeling of joy in his heart. At the same time, I also care about Carle's reaction.
Harry hesitated for a moment, unable to make a decision immediately. In order to buffer him, he asked Erk: "How are you sure that I can definitely use - what is that word, mastermind?" He pretended to be uncomfortable with the word. A familiar look.
Just by asking this question, Harry could feel that Carle was getting more nervous. He quickly hugged Carle's arm again, indicating to the other person that he was calm and was just asking questions, which was nothing.
"I already know two mind readers," Erk said, "They are still the kind with strong abilities. One of them has no problem saying that he is the strongest, and the other once told me that even if she is a teenager, At that time, she still couldn't peep at will and control other people's brains, because her ability had just awakened at that time, but you could peep at will - "
"——I never peek into other people's hearts." Harry reminded, feeling offended.
Erk continued indifferently: "Communicate with others through brain waves, control their brains to make them stop... The information brought by Aael and Agel is enough. And even without confirmation, you are the only person I can find who has more than ten people. It’s not a common gift for a telepath aged 10 to 20, and neither is it for a kid like you – I need someone who isn’t too impulsive to help find targets quickly.”
You are very demanding. Harry thought.
But then again, this condition seems picky, but it is actually reasonable. It is really a technical job to filter out tens of millions of information through the main brain and find the disappeared Ea.
"——Is he complimenting you or saying you are weird?" Dr said dissatisfiedly behind Harry.
Harry glanced at him helplessly, then looked at Carle.
"What would you do if I said, I'm willing to listen to all your ideas," Harry asked seriously, "Carle? Do you want me to say yes?"
"If possible," Carle looked at the child and felt something stuck in his throat. He yelled and taunted Erk, but he could always lower his voice unconsciously to the child, "I would like you to think more about it, Francis. . It is a machine that is difficult to control. If you are not careful enough, it will definitely -" he emphasized, "-endanger your health."
Harry scratched his head and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, thinking. When he did this action, even the face similar to Erk's became rounder and softer, because the thinking expression was not very sharp or powerful.
"Teachers can guide students in the direction they want to go," Erk warned, seeing that he was hesitant to make a decision, "but I'm not asking you to do the wrong thing - and I must do it within today.
Love, you must consider agreeing to it. "
"To put it bluntly, you just want to do it," Sea scolded, "What kind of request for help is this?"
Dr nodded and thought with disdain, this is probably a request that only a robber would make - asking you to put down your money and give it to me, something like this.
"For the strong," Erk sat there motionless, "being strong gives me the absolute right to speak. You should have understood this, Sea."
He looked at Harry again and raised his hand slightly. The metal candlestick behind Harry suddenly twisted and formed a metal mask, covering Sea's mouth tightly. Obviously, he felt that Sea talked too much.
Carle let out a loud "ha" taunting sound, as if he had lost all hope for this kind of cruel behavior.
It seems that if you don't nod, the matter will not get around.
"Okay, since I also want to save people," Harry said, "I'm willing to give it a try—"
Suddenly, an answer interrupted the boy's answer. Everyone in the room looked at Carle in shock, including Harry, who was about to agree to the matter. He stared at his father who suddenly spoke in shock.
"I'm here to do this." Carle's cold gaze almost struck Erk straight through him, "Get me the medicine, Hak."
"But, Carle -" Hak said almost at a loss, "your course of treatment is likely to -" It will never even work again for a long time. Who knows what the result will be, and treatment is always full of uncertainty. sex.
"I haven't fallen so low that I want a child to be my victim," Carle said with a half-smile. "Are you satisfied with this result, Erk? I have to work for you, and for this I have once again given up my right to walk. .”
Erk's expression was calmer than anyone else's. Carle's words caused him to be shaken almost like a bunch of awls, but the shake on his face only lasted a moment. He knew very well what the most urgent thing was now.
"So this child is more important than your ability to walk." Erk asked with a tense expression, "And when you gave up your ability, it was just to gain the ability to walk."
Harry couldn't help but start to shudder.
He had withstood all the pressure exerted by Erk before, and listened to all the words calmly, but with this sentence, he began to have trouble breathing.
it's wired. It's really strange.
He is clearly not Carle's son now, but... this matter seems to be forcibly borne by Carle just like a father taking responsibility for his child.
The thought stabbed into Harry's heart like a sharp thorn.
"Yes," Carle said without hesitation, "His safety is more important than my ability to walk - are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Carle!!" Harry couldn't help shouting, "You don't need to be like this, I really can-"
Carle raised a finger, and Harry stopped instinctively. This was Carle's gesture to ask for silence, and it was almost his instinct as a son to follow it.
"It was my choice to give up the ability to walk, and now, it is also my choice." Carle stretched out his hand, leaned down slightly, and rubbed the boy's dumbfounded face. He did not smile, and his expression was not very gentle, but it was Very peaceful. "I understand that you want to save people. You are such a child, I know, so you must also understand my principles as a teacher - we will not let children take the risk first."
"Respect my choice, Francis."
