Charles had heard about the Midtown High School Symphony's homecoming event over the phone.

Ever since Jinx was scared by the Japanese horror film Jinx and hid under the quilt after listening to his story, he became very interested in the experience of their first generation of X-Men. The invisible communication signal connected the quiet countryside Between West Chester and the bustling metropolis of New York, Jinx turned on his mobile phone hands-free, lying on the bed, looking at the sea blue of the walls and the jellyfish-shaped chandelier on the ceiling that emits warm orange lights, listening to what Charles said dream of his youth.

In fact, Charles in his youth was no different from the current Xavier School students, except that a few decades ago, mutants were not as well known as they are now. Keeping his own secrets, pretending to be an ordinary person, and living a cautious life.

"Because of my ability, I learned everything very quickly, and young people are always pretentious, so at that time, I thought I could change the world." Charles said with a smile on his face .

He was leaning against the bed, with an Agatha Christie novel on his lap, which was his pastime before going to bed every night, but now this "Murder on the Orient Express" had been neglected for several days , the bookmark has been stuck between the eight pages of No.40, and has not moved back.

He was holding the mobile phone, and the side of the earpiece was pressed against the pinna, and Jinx's gentle breathing could be heard from the slight sound of electric current.

Jinx taught him to turn on the phone hands-free, but he still prefers to stick the phone tightly to the pinna and cheek, as if that way, the voice on the phone can be heard more clearly and more clearly. Shorten the distance between some two people.

"Then I met Eric. He is a very powerful mutant and also very mysterious. We drank a few times and chatted for a while, and found that everyone actually has the same ideal." Charles said, "I want to have One day, the mutants will no longer be able to live with ease, and will be able to stand under the sun without suspicion or fear."

"But later, I discovered that I am fundamentally different from Eric. Eric was right. The reality is too cruel, but I am too kind. His kindness, I believe, is a derogatory term. Young people It is a good thing to have ideals, but complete idealization is not a good thing to hate, so I lost my friends, lost my legs, and once lost my ideals. At that time, I closed the school, gave up my abilities, and used potions to force myself I can barely stand up, I no longer think that I can change the world, I can't even keep my friends..." Charles exhaled, "But fortunately, I finally found my ideal."

He spoke slowly and softly, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Through the sound of electric current, Jinx can seem to see the warm light of his bedside lamp sprinkled on the ends of his long hair, jumping over his eyelashes, dipping his blue color like sunlight falling into the sea pupil.

"Charles," she said, "actually, everyone on my planet lives by their ideals, and so do I."

"Yeah." Charles responded in a low voice. This was probably the first time he heard Jinx mention her home planet.

"My home planet has no land, and everyone lives in the sea. When everyone was a sea creature that preyed on the weak and the strong, the sea was our home, our hunting ground, and our cemetery. And when everyone evolved equal The sea limited us, so we started to travel among the stars to conquer the lands of other planets." Jinx said, "Conquest and aggression are both ideals and survival."

She heard that both Anthony and Charles mentioned World War II, so she also read a lot of information on the Internet, and learned a lot of things that she didn't know before.

For example, the Hydra organization had a cooperative relationship with Nazi Germany during World War II, such as the political views of Hitler, the German head of state, and the fanatical Nazi believers at that time.

She read a lot of materials, and the more she read, the more she felt familiar.

After unraveling the six-second curse, she was able to think more and more things, and naturally, she set the Axis power on the Deep Spring galaxy.

The same shortage of resources, the same conquest and aggression, the same all people are soldiers, crazy and dangerous.

Today, when the Deep Spring galaxy has no shortage of resources, she once again thought about the necessity of conquering the earth, and then found that the current Deep Spring galaxy does not need to conquer other planets in order to gain living space, and start a war again. aggression.

For the first time in her life, she had doubts about her home planet.

And once the ideal is shaken, it will be like a hurricane on the sea, with a destructive momentum, sweeping away all the peace.

She didn't know whether she should tell Charles, but when she was hesitating, she heard Charles said with a smile: "Jinx, thinking shouldn't just bring you troubles, keep doing that little song that sings ditties in your head every day." Girl." He paused and said, "Thinking is for you to see yourself clearly, just do what you want to do most."

"What do I want to do most?" Jinx was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and said seriously, "Become the best soldier in the Deep Spring galaxy."

"Well, that's your ideal..." Charles said softly, "What about now?"

"Now." Jinx suddenly thought of Charles sitting by the lily pond, and blurted out, "See you."

Charles on the other side of the phone was stunned, as if holding his breath, unable to hear a single sound, Jinx waited patiently for dozens of seconds, frowned, not knowing what happened to Charles.

After a long time, there was a laugh over there, which seemed rather helpless: "Jinx...you are really..."

Jinx tilted his head, looked at his mobile phone on the bedside table, and said, "What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing," Charles said. "What date is your homecoming event?"

"No. [-]." Jinx said, counting with his fingers, "Next Monday, Monday is the hero theme day, Tuesday is the fairy tale kingdom, Wednesday is the club activity day, and Thursday is the dance party."

"Society Day? Are you going to perform on Wednesday?"

"Yes." When Jinx talked about the performance, he became excited, "Mr. Merlin has already borrowed the costume, and I tried it on today. After wearing it, I don't want to beat the timpani anymore. I want to hold the torch and go Go to the Capulet garden and find my Juliet!"

There was a few laughs over there, and then she said softly, "Okay, little Romeo from the Montague family, it's time to go to bed, go to bed first, and then go to your Juliet."

After hanging up the phone, little girl Romeo tossed and turned for the first time, unable to fall asleep. She opened her eyes, looked at the transparent jellyfish chandelier on the sea-blue ceiling, closed her eyes forcefully, and shrank herself into the quilt.

She saw herself dressed in fifteenth-century Italian men's attire, with her hair loosely draped behind her, holding a torch and wearing boots that tightly wrapped her calves, walking along the moss-covered stone path, The chirping of cicadas and the chirping of crickets adorn this starry summer night. She heard a deep and soft voice from a balcony filled with lights in the distance. This voice that should have been smiling was a little sad at this moment. , like the lingering rain in autumn.

She quickened her pace, walked under the balcony, and saw the person standing on the balcony, he was wearing a white skirt, like an angel.

"Romeo, Romeo! Why are you Romeo? Deny your father, throw away your name; perhaps you will not, and I will no longer be called Capulet, if you will be my love. .”

He said, and then seemed to notice the person under the balcony, and lowered his head. His hair only reached his chin, and it was dark brown under the light. His eyes were as blue as the sea, with a high bridge of nose, thin Lips, pointed chin, and short stubble on the chin.

... The stubble is not shaved, it can be said to be very sad.

Jinx looked at the person in the white dress on the balcony, and was stunned for a long time, then saw the person smiling and said: "It seems that thinking not only brings you troubles, but also brings imagination."

Jinx: "..."

She woke up suddenly from the dream and pulled herself out of the quilt.

She had fallen asleep unknowingly before without turning off the lights, and the light outside the quilt made her close her eyes subconsciously. When she got used to the light, she slowly raised her head to look at the jellyfish chandelier on the ceiling, feeling like returning to the light. Into the deep sea illuminated by comb jellies.

The imagination brought by thinking began to spread in this room painted sea blue.

She thought that when Anthony talked about him and Ashley that day, he refused to say what he had experienced with Ashley, but he said through gritted teeth that the cunning earthlings could fool them innocent and kind aliens around. , making him happy for her and sad for her, even drunk to the point of unconsciousness for her.

Finally, Anthony patted her on the shoulder and said very solemnly: "You, as a flirtatious octopus, must find our alien place on Earth, do you know?"

Jinx felt confused at the time. She didn't know what it meant to be sexual, and she didn't know how to get aliens back on Earth.

So she humbly asked for advice.

"Of course it is to lie to them, make them fall in love with you deeply, let them sleep all night because of you, worrying about gains and losses, and then dump them, let them break their hearts for you, cry for you, and go to the bar to get drunk willingly for you." Anthony As he spoke, he seemed to become more and more angry as he talked, and began to walk sideways in Jinx's room, "It's too much, they should be punished severely!"

Jinx was like listening to a lecture, and carefully wrote down what Anthony said.

Jinx turned on the phone's line and sent the first Moments in his life.

It was a picture of Connie Bunny lying pitifully on the bed with her eyes open thinking of Brown Bear.

"Old Uncle Juliet, I'm not asleep."

Only a minute and a half after sending it, her circle of friends had already received a reply.

Henry: "...Charles' cell phone is not a smart phone, and there is no download line, but I have conveyed it."

Jinx was still thinking about what a smart phone is, and then saw that Henry's comment had already received several replies in an instant.

Michael: "..."

Pietro: "???"

Kurt: "!!!"

Raven: "Tsk."

……

Jinx looked at these unexplained replies and was a little puzzled: "????"
