Mnemonic


[xu-] Professor X is [2] inside the [-(e)n] infirmary where he 寻 seeks a magic mutant 寸 caliper that has been stolen from the X-Men headquarters. He wheels around from sick bed to sick bed with a special 彐 fork he has, channeling his mental energy into it to help him 寻 seek the 寸 caliper. Sure enough, the 彐 fork leads him to a place under one of the sick beds where the 寸 caliper he 寻 seeks is finally found. How did it get there?!
