"Damn it."
Upon waking, Natasha imdiately muttered under her breath. She had been controlled before but was still conscious, so she clearly understood what had happened.
Her eyes, filled with anger, fixed on the woman in front of her.
As a top SHIELD agent, she could easily guess who these people were: Professor Charles, one of the most powerful mutants, and his students, the X-n.
Natasha knew this was not the first ti they had acted this way.
Every ti after completing their mission, they would erase a small part of the mories of those who were controlled at the scene.
If it weren't for Bi Xiao's words just now, she might have had this mory erased without even knowing.
But that wasn't the main point. What angered her was that her own mories were clearly accessed by the others—her past experiences, were they...?
No one likes their privacy to be invaded.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I only accessed mories related to your identity and your recent work. I did not delve into anything else."
"Please forgive my rudeness. If possible, in the future, we would be glad to be your friends and offer so help," Professor Charles, who had taken control of the woman's mind, seed to recognize the source of Natasha's anger and explained.
Natasha clenched her teeth. As a top agent, she was good at suppressing her anger, but she couldn't muster even a slight smile. She resolved to inject herself with SHIELD's newly developed chip to resist ntal invasion.
Bi Xiao looked on with cold eyes, showing no intention of avenging Natasha.
After all, this woman had no relation to him.
He didn't bother with these people and planned to leave, but Professor X's voice continued behind him.
"Child, your talent is unique, but your actions will bring you danger. Killing is never the only solution," he advised.
Bi Xiao, uninterested, turned and left, with Natasha, suppressing her anger, following closely behind.
Scott saw Bi Xiao's arrogant attitude, clenched his fists, his face full of anger, but the white-haired woman beside him held him back.
"Scott, don't be impulsive."
Scott took a deep breath and cald down.
"Professor, this boy..."
"He is special, but his actions are extre. He needs guidance; otherwise, he might be consud by darkness and anger," the Professor briefly said before no longer elaborating but instructed his students to take Lee back to the academy.
The mbers of the X-n exchanged glances, intrigued by the Chinese boy, obviously soone of special interest to the Professor.
However, they followed their usual protocol and took Lee away, restarting the paused scene, allowing everyone at the scene to continue their activities as if nothing had happened, oblivious to the Asian young man who had been performing "Eastern magic" on the street.
As for the soldiers, they returned to their armored vehicle and retraced their route.
What happened afterwards, neither Bi Xiao nor Professor X would bother about.
With the incident, Bi Xiao and Natasha's trip to Chinatown could no longer proceed, but Natasha didn't leave. Instead, she and Bi Xiao went to Flushing adows Park and sat on the grass by the river, watching the bustling crowd leisurely walking by.
Natasha, hugging her legs, sat next to Bi Xiao, looking at the river and the people rowing boats, and spoke, "Shaw, you are the smartest person I've t, especially at your age."
"Planning to co clean with ?"
Bi Xiao looked at the woman with interest.
"Even if I don't, I believe you've guessed it already," Natasha said playfully, a smile curling at her lips. "You are the first person to see through my disguise as soon as we t."
"This mission failed, maybe I should really think about how to write the report when I get back."
"You indeed are a woman who easily wins people's favor," Bi Xiao acknowledged Natasha's professional skills. "Any man would let his guard down in front of you."
"You were more precise than the NYPD, landing right in front of before anyone else. You're smart."
"In fact, before you, I had interacted with thirteen suspects, but after eting them, I ruled them out, until you."
Natasha answered honestly, "At first I wasn't sure, but when I looked into your eyes, I thought I saw a demon lurking within. John Shaw, a fierce demon resides in your heart, and from that mont, I was certain you were the one."
"Being able to read so information from soone's eyes is impressive."
Bi Xiao nodded, aware of his own situation. After multiple massacres and bloodshed, anyone would undergo so changes.
Whether it's madness or bloodlust, no matter how well one disguises it, if they et soone with keen senses, they will inevitably show flaws.
Especially him, having killed so many, his physical condition continuously strengthened, and his life level kept rising. Facing those with lower life levels, there would naturally be an instinctive dominance, a suppressive presence that combined to make Natasha feel tense and fearful.
If it were anyone else as perceptive but without Natasha's experience and ironclad will, they probably wouldn't even have the courage to look at him.
"However impressive, you still surpass . With your age, you've demonstrated stunning combat abilities and clear rational thinking, making you more suited to be an agent than ," Natasha adjusted her hair tousled by the breeze.
"So the drama is over."
Bi Xiao turned his head to look at Natasha, still with a sunny expression but his voice serious and warning, "I can tolerate you bringing a bit of fun to my sowhat dull days, but don't think about crossing the line, or you, and those behind you, wouldn't want to see a demon unleashing his anger.”
