Chapter 357 Extra Story of the Halloween Chapter: A Call from the Marvel World

Nicole was known throughout Xavier College to be madly in love with books.

She loves any kind of book:

It’s fine if there are texts, but it’s fine if there are no texts; it’s okay if there are many illustrations, but it’s fine if there are no illustrations;

Nicole just loves books.

She is a student recruited by Professor X himself, just like many students in the academy, no one knows her origin and past, and no one will delve into it.

But in this school, people rarely shy away from talking about their mutant abilities.

Unless this mutant ability is too weird and strange, or has caused serious psychological trauma to the student: and if there is such a situation, the students can always receive vague but clear reminders from Professor X.

As for Nicole, Professor X didn't say much.

There is just one interesting thing, when someone curiously asked about Nicole, Professor X's expression was weird for a moment.

That's not bad or weird, if you have to say it, that expression should be a little funny and helpless.

"She's a nice girl, and her abilities are interesting, but she's very shy because of her abilities," said the professor. "If she doesn't like it, you better not get too close to her... Her abilities will make her, cough , not very pleasant."

So the students in the academy really seldom approach Nicole—because this petite girl will always show the look of a bird playing on the grass after being disturbed by passers-by when everyone approaches.

She doesn't dislike or hate people who approach her, her eyes and expressions speak of kindness.

However, as the professor said, she would feel flustered and uncomfortable because of the approach of others.

Nicole is happiest only when she is with books.

If she is sitting in front of the desk, she will cherish the book on the table and spread it flat, gently twist the foot of the page with her fingertips, and turn the pages as smoothly as possible; if she is sitting on the grass, she will put the book on the table On her knees, holding the back of the book with her fingers, she read slowly.

She looked so happy and nice when she was reading.

So when friendly classmates tried to express their affection, they naturally chose to give her books.

all kinds of books.

Poetry collections, essay collections, novels, short stories, picture books, art albums, and comics...

It soon became apparent that Nicole was obsessed with comics.

They further discover a comic book character that Nicole is obsessed with.

superman.

Professor X was the first to discover this.

No way, because it is troublesome to understand Nicole's ability, he can fully understand Nicole's behavior of avoiding her classmates, but this does not mean that he agrees with her way of coping.He has worked hard to make Nicole more integrated into the school, and now it seems that it has paid off a little bit, so of course he will pay attention to it seriously.

He approached Nicole quietly.

"Good afternoon, Nicole." Even though he knew that what he did was useless and the other person's feelings were completely out of his control, the professor softened his tone as much as possible.

"Good afternoon, Professor." Nicole also replied softly.

She lowered her eyes, closed the page in her hand, but did not put it down, but held it in her arms with great care.

The cover of the page belongs to Superman.

"You're fond of Superman," the professor asked. "I've never seen you show such an obvious interest in anything before. May I know why?"

His smile is a light-toned watercolor painting, with blues and teals as the main colors.

His voice is sandalwood.

He is a large piece of slightly bitter marshmallow, and after the end of the taste, there is a faint mint flavor, which is refreshing in the mouth.

His gaze was a crisp ding-dong sound, like in the early spring, when the broken ice in the stream melted and fell into the gradually fresh stream.

He didn't make people feel uncomfortable... But when he pressed against him airtightly, it still gave Nicole the illusion of suffocation or eardrums being pierced by the high-pitched sound.

"Because he is pure." Nicole hugged the manga tightly and emphasized seriously, "Very, very, very pure."

After graduation, Nicole chose to become a psychologist who specializes in treating autistic children.

Many people know that she is a mutant, but no one knows what her mutant powers are. People only know that she is extremely sensitive to subtle changes in emotions, just like someone who has walked in the dark for a long time can catch the faintest Light.

At the same time, because she is too sensitive to emotions, Nicole does not accept anyone other than autistic patients, even the parents or escorts of the patients, they cannot appear in front of her.

But they can watch the whole process of Nicole's treatment through a layer of glass - most of them are boring companions, and the vast majority of autistic patients do not communicate with the outside world, even Nicole can't change this .

She just can quickly find out what the patient will be interested in.

Music, painting, arithmetic, these are all hobbies that can be easily discovered.

But other things are not so easy. The weird ones are like unraveling wool, the dangerous ones are like cutting objects, and the complicated ones are like cooking... No matter what the patient is interested in, Nicole can solve it in a very short time found within.

Her fees are not high, and she also provides free initial treatment. All powerful autistic patients from all over the world are sent to her office, and she accepts them all.

Just no parents and chaperones.

Nicole's own life is no different from that of an autistic person. She doesn't like to communicate with people, she doesn't like to share a room with people, and she only wants to talk to her assistant, a middle-aged albino, if she can.

Many people know that she is a mutant.

But no one knows exactly what her mutant powers are.

-

The day Thanos' army invaded Earth, Nicole got up as usual, washed up, and went to work in the office.

She has a whole building as an office, which some social care organization gave her for free - exactly how Nicole is not very clear, she can't bear to communicate with people, and Professor X doesn't force her to do so , the entire Xavier Academy did not persecute her.

After knowing her problem, a special teacher came to help her with all legal matters.

Nicole is very grateful, and she is also trying to adapt to herself, but unfortunately, the results are minimal... There is a way to make her "normal", but that requires her to consume a lot of her own abilities.

The truth is, she dared not do it.

The commotion caused by Thanos did not disturb her at first. This building has a special purpose, and some autistic patients are easily disturbed, so the sound insulation equipment of the building is very good.

Stark Group contracted for the entire construction work.

For Professor X's sake, they charged a price that was so low that onlookers would feel sorry for them.

Until one of the walls of the building was broken and the automatic defense system was turned on... Wait, does this building have an automatic defense system?Nicole listened to the announcement of the electronic sound in a daze, and it actually said, "Please go to the temporary shelter immediately." This building not only has an automatic defense system, but also a temporary shelter?

Thanks to Engineering Stark this time.

The point is that no matter how little money they receive, they are actually collecting money. They might as well do charity directly, so that they can earn a good reputation anyway.

Thinking so, Nicole didn't delay her actions at all. She drove the patients into the temporary shelter. Her assistant couldn't help her in this regard, so she stood by and helped her look around, and at the same time contacted After calling the police and members of the Avengers, he also called the X-Men after he was done.

After placing the patients, Nicole resisted the discomfort and walked onto the street.

…Sharp scratching of glass, dull and irregular buzzing, tearing, bizarre grinding noises that make one’s teeth ache…

...mottled and chaotic oil painting color blocks...

…the stench of rotting blood, rotten food, greasy sweat and a strange smell that makes the nose prick like a needle...

...like walking in mud...

Her inability to vent in time confuses her senses more and more.

But it also means something else.

-

Nicole has a secret that's not a secret.

Her sense of the outside world is confused.

God knows when this situation started, but there is no doubt that it was not like this at the beginning of her memory. In her hazy memory, she used to be able to clearly distinguish the difference between the soft wind and the clear water.

But then she developed a bizarre illness.

Synesthesia, also known as synesthesia.

This is a rare psychiatric disorder.In the sensory system of a person with synesthesia, numbers and words have color, shape, texture and emotion.

They are likely to have several senses connected together. For example, when they hear a song, a flowing picture will emerge in front of their eyes, and different music will present different pictures.

When they see a formula, that formula has an emotion for them: 1 for stability, 2 for pleasure, 3 for ease, 4 for pain...

Some scientists believe that as many as 23 in 1 people have synesthesia, but in very mild cases.

And Nicole, unfortunately, was the very severe type.

Synesthesia even made it impossible for her to live a normal life at all.

Professor X once invited a psychiatrist for her. After the examination, the other party made it clear that she may be the most severe case of synaesthesia, and it is also a unique case: her synesthesia is changing.

Generally, the sensory connection of synesthesia patients is fixed. If a certain note represents a certain color in their senses, then this note can always make them see a certain color, and Nicole's sensory connection is always is changing.

Sometimes when she listened to someone, she could smell something;

Professor X thought this was her mutant ability, an ability that was not very useful and would trouble her.

But this is actually not her ability.

not all.

-

Nicole had a hard time finding Thanos' location.

He sounded like a purposeful but chaotic cloud, looked like blood with a hint of cigarette smoke, smelled weird, like a tight... big rambling, not bad, but weird.

His hands were tightly wrapped around Wanda's neck.

Nicole tried her best and shouted, "No! Let go! Let go of Sister Wanda!"

Thanos didn't let go, but turned his head back.

Nicole shivered.

His gaze is the wind with snow.

"Look at you, cutie," he said. "What's that in your hand?"

"A... a fully automatic live camera, I asked Mr. Stark for it." Nicole said tremblingly, she glanced nervously at the blue-faced Wanda, and quickly turned on the camera, "It It will hack into all networks at the fastest speed the moment it is opened, and now... Now Times Square is also broadcasting the live broadcast."

"Oh." Thanos tilted his head, "I appreciate your courage, cutie, but what's the use of it?"

Nicole groaned for a long time before choking out a word tremblingly.

"In order to let more people know...how can I defeat you."

With such a chance of winning, Thanos is obviously willing to play games with the little girl.

"So what are you going to do?" He waited patiently.

Nicole tremblingly faced the camera under the gaze of the other party.

"I know you can see me, and I guess you all know the magnitude of the crisis we're facing now from the Internet... I mean, I mean, there's nothing you can do anyway, right? You might as well believe me, Let's try to do it..."

"I'm a mutant. My ability...it's hard to explain in detail. I'm a bit like a summoning mage in the game, but when I summon something, I don't need spells, magic circles, etc., and it has nothing to do with magic." relation."

Nicole frowned in trouble, trying hard to think about how to express what she wanted to express.

"You can think of me as a card drawing pool!" She suddenly thought of a metaphor, "A card drawing pool where you can draw cards at a fixed time! There is a chance to draw cards every day. If you don't draw cards, the number of times will be accumulated. Accumulated Too much will cause the ability to leak, and then I will become strange, but I can't draw cards casually, because no matter what is summoned, it will not disappear casually... I am also very embarrassed..."

Forgive this dead house who was forced out by synesthesia. At the end, Nicole became depressed as if no one else was there, and she was so depressed that she was about to cry.

It was the cold wind with snow that made her react and regain her spirits.

"In order to defeat him now, I want to summon a very powerful person, but the card drawing energy I have saved for so long is still not enough to summon him. Now I need you to recharge... oh, not recharge, you have to recharge with faith... ..."

"Imagine the most powerful superhero you've ever known, wearing a red cape, blue uniform, and red underpants...well that's actually a little red shorts...you just need to know who it is!"

"Now," Nicole whispered, "join me in trusting with all our hearts that he will come to our aid."

This passage will undoubtedly spread to every corner of the world with Internet access, but do people really know who she is talking about?And how many people would naively and stupidly believe...a superhero in a comic book?

Believe it or not, Nicole never doubted it.

Because... when she reads the comics of Superman, she can feel the comfort of the warm sun, smell the flowers, trees and grass leaves in the sun, hear the wind in the sun, and see the warm sunrise and sunset.

Superman is not monotonous.

But he is pure.

She has heard of the theory of parallel worlds, and believes that in a certain parallel world, Superman must exist, and how could Superman refuse others' help?

and so--

With all her strength, she yelled, "Help, Superman!"

She felt the comfort of the warm sun, smelled the fragrance of grass and trees, and the sound of the wind.

When she regained her senses, she found that Thanos had passed out on the ground, and a tall figure was standing beside Thanos, holding Thanos' glove in one hand, and gently patted Wanda with the other, Help her breathe again.

Wanda looked at him dumbfounded.

Nicole also looked at the figure in a daze.

He turned his head, and his face was exposed in every corner of the world with Internet.

"Hello," Carl said, smiling. "Hope I'm not late."
