CHAPTER 659 THOUGHTS
After walking into Professor Charles’s office, Iceman naturally sat down on the chair opposite to Professor Charles’s desk. However, while sitting down, Iceman just glanced at Professor Charles who was sitting opposite to him and didn’t say anything.
Phoo~
After sitting in silence for several minutes, Professor Charles across the desk slowly put down his book. Then he looked up at Iceman across the desk.
“Robert, do you have something you want to ask me?” Looking at Iceman, whose face was slightly tangled, Professor Charles spoke first.
Hearing Professor Charles’s words, Iceman raised his head and looked at him, “Yes, I do have something to ask you.”
“It’s about Mirage Knight, right?” As if knowing what Iceman wanted to ask, Professor Charles asked.
“Yes! Professor, I know there are many things you won’t tell us. However, on the battlefield just now, I noticed that you used your telepathy on Mirage Knight. Why did you do that?” Iceman looked at Professor Charles’ eyes seriously and asked.
That’s right, that’s what Iceman had been struggling with for a long time this time and came to ask Professor Charles.
On the battlefield, Mirage Knight was knocked out by Hulk’s final blow. Before Mirage Knight was awakened, Professor Charles used his telepathy ability to detect Mirage Knight’s mind very vaguely, that is also when Jack noticed the fluctuation of Psychic Power in his surroundings.
However, when Professor Charles’ telepathy touched Mirage Knight’s body, he had already awakened. So, Professor Charles just withdrew his telepathy.
At that time, Jack was not seeing an illusion, but a real Psychic Power fluctuation, only Jack’s Psychic Power was not strong enough to determine where the psychic fluctuations come from.
In addition to Jack, Iceman, who was also standing next to Lin Rui at the time, also noticed the vague Psychic Power fluctuations. Unlike Jack’s uncertainty, Iceman is very familiar with Professor Charles’ telepathy power.
At that time, Iceman knew that Professor Charles had made a move but due to the situation at the time, Iceman could only endure his question in his heart.
It wasn’t until he returned to X-Men’s base camp that Iceman, who had been holding back in his heart, came over to Professor Charles to ask this question.
“Robert, do you know Mirage Knight?” Without immediately answering Iceman’s question, Professor Charles looked at him gently and asked a seemingly insignificant question.
“Mirage Knight is a very good companion and a person who deserves to be a good friend!” Hearing Professor Charles’s question, Iceman answered without any hesitation.
However, Professor Charles, who heard Iceman’s answer, shook his head slightly, “No, you don’t know him, you just know what he shows to you. Including us, we all just know what Mirage Knight shows us. On the other hand, none of us really know Mirage Knight.”
“This…” Hearing Professor Charles’ words, Iceman subconsciously wanted to refute but he didn’t know how to refute it for a while.
Indeed, since knowing Mirage Knight, Iceman has never seen Mirage Knight’s real face under his mask.
Although half of Mirage Knight’s face can be seen and it can be inferred that he is a young man. However, Iceman and the others really don’t know what Mirage Knight looks like and who he is in real life.
“But that doesn’t stop me from thinking of him as a good friend! Besides, haven’t we strategically joined forces with the League of Defenders? Do we still have to use telepathy on our allies? This is not something you should do, Professor.” After thinking about it, Iceman still put out his thoughts.
“Indeed, even if we don’t know who Mirage Knight really is and what kind of person he is in real life, at least what he showed us is still a very good side. For an ally, Mirage Knight is also doing a very good job, and League of Defender is strong and has a lot of potential for improvement.” Hearing Iceman’s words, Professor Charles nodded and said.
“So…”
“However, don’t you think that Mirage Knight is too mysterious? He is an ally who we can trust to watch our backs but we don’t even know who he really is. Moreover, there are many magical things about Mirage Knight that you don’t know. For example, he possesses a certain ability to predict or rather foresee the future. Moreover, Mirage Knight can always come up with something that does not exist in this world. For these, you don’t know or understand, but I do.” When Iceman still wanted to speak, Professor Charles went on to say.
Hearing Professor Charles’s words, the expression on Iceman’s face gradually changed. Perhaps, he really didn’t understand Mirage Knight. He regards Mirage Knight as a good friend but what about the other party?
Iceman had some doubts about Mirage Knight for the first time. However, after thinking about the process of getting along with Mirage Knight, Iceman felt that Mirage Knight treated him very sincerely, and there was no deliberate concealment in his actions.
“No matter what, Professor, you shouldn’t have used your telepathy to read Mirage Knight’s mind while he was unconscious. If you really want to know Mirage Knight’s true ident.i.ty then I think you could have asked him. I think, if there are no special circ.u.mstances then Mirage Knight would be willing to tell us.” Iceman spoke again.
“Even if you don’t come to me today, I will still find an opportunity to go to Mirage Knight. Because, when I made telepathic contact with Mirage Knight today, I was already discovered by him.” Hearing Iceman’s words, Professor Charles’s eyes flashed as he spoke.
“Eh?! Discovered?!” Hearing Professor Charles say that his telepathy was discovered, Iceman was very surprised. Wasn’t Mirage Knight unconscious at that time? Apart from him, no one should have been able to detect Professor Charles’ strike at that time.
“Never underestimate anyone, especially someone like Mirage Knight.” Professor Charles said in a deep tone.
“Then he…”
“Even though Mirage Knight found out, he wouldn’t tell anyone. Maybe, he’s also waiting for me to come to him.” Professor Charles said with a smile on his face as he looked at the puzzlement of Iceman’s face.
“I will go with you!” Iceman said as he heard this.
If Professor Charles’ telepathy attack on Mirage Knight breaks their relationship with Mirage Knight and even the League of Defenders then that would be something Iceman is very unwilling to see.
“Relax, Mirage Knight is not the kind of person who disregards the overall situation. Perhaps, this time he will take the initiative to tell me who he is.” Seeing Iceman’s nervousness, Professor Charles said indifferently.
“As for now, we have other things to worry about. Erik saw Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch today. Maybe he will visit us soon. We have to get ready.”
“Okay, Professor!”
