"For Neanderthal Homo sapiens, his distant mutant cousin Homo sapiens was an aberration, and if they ever coexisted peacefully, it was short-lived. According to historical records, in any area, the arrival of mutant races will Leading to the extinction of similar species that evolve slowly, without exception..."

Li Lin was reading a report, and the beginning of this report had an unspeakable cruelty.

This is the essay Charles prepared to apply for professorship.

When Charles rushed into the study rudely, he saw Li Lin sitting on the bench, leaning against the back of the chair and reading aloud with interest.

His clear eyes looked past the report and towards Charles.

"Charles, when you were writing this report, did you think about what other people would think about the content?"

Although they have never met, the atmosphere between the two of them was quite good when they first met.

At least Li Lin thought it was good.

"Well, I'm just stating the facts. After all, the facts are there. What we can get from it is the significance of evolution and its implications for reality... How come I never knew you were so young? I thought you were just like Malcador. Old man."

Charles came over and took away his copy of the professor's paper. After just a few words of defense, he was surprised by Li Lin's youth. He couldn't help but smile in surprise and looked at his old friend carefully.

Li Lin is really young.

At first glance, he seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his temperament seems to be in his thirties. The combination makes it impossible to determine his actual age and can only give a rough estimate.

Charles, who often talked to Li Lin on the phone in subspace, was surprised by his knowledge. He seemed to know everything, he could pick up any topic, and he could quickly turn those things into something you couldn't understand. I don’t want to listen to it either. If I listen to it too much, it may be something dangerous.

"I am older than you think, but a young and healthy body can better empathize with ordinary people, and it also prevents me from acting too much when facing some calls for help, although that is not my original wish. .”

"That sounds really cool."

"So, Charles, do you think psykers will exterminate ordinary people?"

Li Lin changed the topic and returned to Charles.

His rhythm jumped a bit, but fortunately Charles, who communicated frequently, could keep up. When he heard Li Lin ask such a pointed question, his first reaction was confusion.

Charles took a bottle of wine from the desk and poured a glass for Li Lin and himself. He sank deeply into the sofa and began the face-to-face communication in a relatively lazy and relaxed sitting posture.

"Yes, I am worried that psykers will destroy all mankind. Li Lin, the most common thing I have seen in the subspace since I was a child is how the souls of psykers destroy themselves."

"Not every psyker is as lucky as me. They have a good background, a good education, and good friends. As long as they are willing, there is always something in the subspace that can be sold to them."

"Then..."

Charles, who was holding his hand on his forehead, could no longer speak. He was a normal person, and the most important thing for a normal person was not to sail too far in a crazy world. He once tried to read the mind of a warp-corrupted psyker, and Chaos taught Charles a lesson about the unreasonable.

Subspace is just incomprehensible.

So Charles wanted to do something.

For myself, for my sister Ruiwen, for the psychics, and more importantly for the world, and for Li Lin.

Charles knew what kind of existence Li Lin was and what he meant to mankind. Li Lin never concealed this from him.

After Li Lin helped him, he also wanted to help him, that's all.

"I'm proud of you, Charles. That's why I decided to come to your place and stay for a while. I think you might be able to do things that I can't normally do."

Li Lin smiled slightly and looked at Charles, who was blushing a little, knowing what the young man in front of him was thinking. He also slightly revealed the reason why he came to New York. Charles did not fully understand what Li Lin said, but he felt that it was not a bad thing. It was a good thing that Li Lin was willing to live in seclusion in the Xavier mansion and not work in the material world.

At least there are too many people who are dissatisfied with their desires. It would be better if they don’t have to worry about what kind of wishes they should make when facing God who answers all requests.

"At least here, I will let you live a life that a normal person should live."

Charles is very confident about this.

He swore by his father's mansion that he already had a psyker and wouldn't mind having another one at home anyway. At least Charles felt that if Li Lin was willing to live here for the rest of his life, it would be a good thing for all mankind.

And the dream he had always had in his heart seemed to be coming true.

Charles quickly made arrangements to move in, which he arranged himself.

Macado originally didn't want Charles to do this, but he insisted anyway, as if it had any meaning.

When everything was almost over and only Malcador was with him, Charles asked him thoughtfully.

"Li Lin, have you been trying to control subspace?"

That kind of brilliance like the cold sun is making Li Lin work hard to control the contact between subspace and the material world, instead of spreading like cancer to the entire earth, the entire solar system, the entire galaxy, and the entire universe. And Charles could clearly feel that after Li Lin listened to and fulfilled the wishes of many people, the human part of him became less and less.

Like it's being consumed.

"He wasn't what he is now."

Malcador thought of Li Lin a long time ago, and then couldn't help but lower his head and sigh.

"Charles, the thing I regret most is letting Li Lin trust humans too much. I wanted to make up for my mistake in the past, but... cough, cough, cough!"

"Grandpa Macado, are you okay?"

Charles quickly supported the old man, lest he would break the old bones when he coughed.

Although he knew that Malcador was a psyker and an extremely powerful one, the old man's old appearance was not an act.

Malcador's soul is close to zero.

It was only because Li Lin tied him up that he could continue. Charles didn't know what kind of relationship the two had, but he felt that the two must be very good friends to make Macado willing to torture him like this.

"I'm fine, it's just my old habit that happened again. Charles..."

"You'd better rest quickly." Charles was slightly anxious.

"Haha, don't use your psychic powers on me, kid, your skills are still too crude." Macado laughed and returned to his tough look. He then approached Charles and whispered in his ear. "Remember, Charles, don't trust other people too much. When you are with Li Lin, you must always keep an eye on him."

In the corner of the corridor, a figure flashed away, seemingly unnoticed by anyone.
