39. RWBY(1/2)
Rania has always had a question: If intellectual disability is considered disability, then without a brain should be considered...?
So she is still a disabled person.
...It's even worse when you think about it this way.
Therefore, although he knew that he should not trust a stranger who suddenly came to her, Lania still felt a subtle feeling of compassion when she saw Mr. Xavier sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at her.
Although she is the one who has the ability, her experience is definitely not as good as that of the principal of a school who has taught countless mutants... Let me say more.
She asked, "Mr. Xavier, where should we start?"
"Charles, or if you want, call me a professor." Charles smiled, "Why let's see your abilities first?"
This is the problem. Rania thought.
Before the emergence of the Starry River, Rania could say with certainty that her ability was fusion. After all, the items she came into contact with did disappear without a trace, and she also showed characteristics that could only be explained by "fusion" - gaining weight, increasing power, and being able to use herself as a household appliance. But when she saw the vast sea of light, Rania suddenly became a little suspicious of her previous thoughts.
Compared to the fusion phenomenon shown, the river of stars that only exists in her consciousness is obviously closer to the essence, but there is no connection between the two.
After a moment of hesitation, Rania spoke: "No one can see what I can see."
The world in the dark - hundreds of millions of light threads spread from her position to the darkness, golden light spots flow slowly along the light threads, countless stardusts dissipated from the light threads, and migrated upwards, like bubbles rising from the seabed to the sky, or like snow going against the wind.
Charles frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out: "Do you mind me getting into your mind?"
Rania: “…can you come in?”
"I can try to watch FM, you're right. Maybe my previous method is incorrect, at least we can try it first." Charles joked.
His relaxed tone made Rania relax, nodded, closed her eyes, and sank her consciousness into the integrated circuit.
Almost the moment she closed her eyes, Charles' expression changed.
It was difficult to find any experience to compare his feelings at the moment. His consciousness did not feel the existence of Lania, but he raised his vigilance for no reason. This vigilance climbed very slowly and was difficult to detect, so that when Charles realized it, he was almost shocked to find that he was ready to use his mental power to launch an indiscriminate attack on the surroundings.
As the most powerful spiritual power on earth, if he wants, he can kill everyone on earth in an instant.
"Is it useful?" Rania asked with her eyes closed.
Sweat was faintly oozing out of Charles' palms. He relaxed his body quietly and said warmly: "I can feel your existence, but I still can't see your thinking."
...What is the principle?
Rania was puzzled. Since she could feel the existence, why couldn't Charles see her?
It can't be too bad signal-
etc.
Rania was silent for a moment, and her consciousness was wandering around the river of stars and found the program she wanted.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Charles's slightly surprised voice rang in the integrated circuit: "Lania, I saw you."
Rania: “…so good.”
"It seems you have found a way to control brain waves." Charles said with a smile.
Rania: "…"
No, actually...what to say.
She opened her eyes silently and looked at the home screen in her field of vision. Her eyes fell on the [Settings] involuntarily, and she felt even more subtle and unspeakable.
...She just turned on Bluetooth.
Connecting to Lania's Bluetooth, Professor X immediately returned to the familiar field.
"I still can't see your thinking, but it's enough. Now we can try to explore unknown areas," his eyes were full of interest. "Lania, do what you want, and I will ensure you are safe."
"...Hmm." Rania looked at him speechlessly, and nodded for a long time.
She couldn't see that it might be blocked by her firewall. She thought sadly.
She exhaled, removed her distracting thoughts, and began to think about what she could do under Charles's care that she could not have done before.
After a moment, she turned her eyes to the darkness outside the light.
Although both Pitro and Jarvis have suggested that she explore the limits of her own abilities, Lania has never been interested in this idea.
She is different from Kuaiyin. Pitro at least knows the general direction of his abilities, and even if he explores the limits of his ability, he has a rough psychological positioning, while Rania faces an infinite world.
Since the prefix of the app "app" has been considered to be a synonym for program applications, how many applications have humans released?
——Creativity, inspiration, countless days and nights of research and development and improvement, the giant's shoulders are at her feet, and she is relying on these to explore the distance.
Although she can only get involved in a harbor - paid applications, or download them and display "installation", these applications actually occupy the majority of the store, and Lanya doesn't always think of anything to download - but the sea of stars she faces is too vast and this harbor alone makes her dazzled.
"Don't be afraid." Charles' voice sounded softly.
With his words, it seemed as if a gentle force was integrated into Rania's consciousness. The river of stars lit up, the speed of light flowing suddenly increased, and the world melted into the endless light.
In a blink of an eye, Rania's consciousness once again reached the end of the tributary, only a thread from the darkness.
However, this time, she did not stop there.
The first step was the most difficult. Darkness was like sticky mud or gel. Her consciousness plunged into it and immediately fell into the real darkness. It was difficult to move. Darkness seemed to be countless soft hands, murmured to push her back to the river of stars, but Lania had no intention of retreating.
Not enough. She thought.
What's there...not enough.
If someone could see the home screen in Rania's eyes at this moment, he would see that the battery, which was originally white, suddenly lost control and suddenly shortened, turning into a dazzling red in the blink of an eye.
66%…42%…20%…4%…4%…
The moment the battery dropped below 50%, the black-haired girl fell down without warning like a doll that had been pulled off. Charles, who had been paying attention to Lania's condition, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reached out to catch her. She immediately fell softly on his lap.
"Rania?"
The smile faded from his eyes, and he tried to pat Rania's face, but the girl with her eyes closed had no response, as if her soul had left this gradually cold body.
Her heartbeat disappeared.
“…Lania?”
Before he finished speaking, his brain suddenly felt a pain, and the consciousness that had originally merged with Rania was suddenly driven out of the fusion. He was shocked to tilt backwards, and his back suddenly hit the back of the wheelchair.
Before the pain could dissipate, Charles immediately rediscovered his consciousness, but was still one step too late.
In his perception, Rania's existence completely lost its trace.
In the dead silence, time seems to be infinitely extended.
The snow, which had already weakened, gradually became stronger again.
A snowflake floated and fell on the girl's slender eyelashes and quickly melted into small drops of water.
The curved eyelashes suddenly trembled.
The street lights on the street seemed to flash, and then, like a candle was blown out in one breath, the street lights on the entire street suddenly dimmed. Not only street lights, shops, residential buildings, and garden lights—the nearby blocks all turned off in an instant, and they fell into absolute silence. The darkness occupied the entire city with lightning speed and lightning.
If anyone looked down at New York in the air at this moment, he would be horrified to find that New York City suddenly became half dark, in sharp contrast with the bright lights on the other half.
——All extinguished light gathered from the distance and lit up again in the sudden opening of the green eyes.
A very thin dark gold color flowed around in his eyes and disappeared in an instant. Rania was stunned at the sky, and turned her head to see Charles' thoughtful gaze.
"Did I faint?" Rania soon found herself lying on the professor's lap - a perfect thigh-hugging position. She immediately got up, patted her pants, and asked non-stop.
"...Well, but it should be fine now." Charles.
He couldn't say that Rania died in front of him for a while.
He paused for a moment, showing a somewhat naughty smile: "It's just that you just took the electricity from this city."
Rania, who is checking the results of her exploration: "..."
She subconsciously looked at the battery - full.
"Tonight is Christmas Eve, and many people should be reuniting with their families now." Charles blinked.
"..." Rania.
She started to have a headache.
She turned her eyes to the new app that appeared on the main screen - [Deep Sea Aquarium], which was the result of her just pioneering darkness. When she felt powerless, a new force suddenly surged into her consciousness. Her consciousness instantly broke through the darkness, and the golden light silk lit up. It means that the light silk of this app is located in a small piece of darkness that was lit by her.
...So the power she felt was actually the electricity she drew.
Rania had been thinking about how to light up the darkness for a long time, but she really didn't expect... it was because there was not enough electricity.
The problem is that just a small piece of darkness requires electricity from an urban area. How much energy does it take to light up all the darkness?
"Is this your ability? Can you draw electricity?"
"...It's true." Rania came to her senses.
Charles smiled: "I have only seen a student with similar abilities, but she wants to be stronger."
He thought for a while and said, "If you want, Xavier Academy will always welcome you, and you can also give yourself a code name."
"What's the use?"
Charles: "Students love this, which makes them feel cool. For us, it's most important to hide their identity."
