Inside the courtyard of Xavier's School for the Gifted. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info two former friends, and they are also the two leaders of the mutants. The moderate Charles and the radical Eric, these two old men are facing off.

"It's all for mutants. Friends. You have to make the right choice. Magneto Eric looked at Charles, and a peculiar smile appeared on his face.

But Charles's uneasiness in his heart is growing, and he vaguely grasps a bad thought. But I didn't dare to confirm it at all. "What the hell do you mean, Marx!"

Magneto Eric only cracked his mouth and smiled silently when he heard Charles's questioning. The old man with a grim face looked a little kind when he smiled. "I've heard that the students at your school have been a bit naughty lately. ”

What Magneto said made Charles feel ominous.

"I've heard that some students went to assassinate the New York City Councilman, Macaulay, the radical anti-mutant faction, for the sake of the mutant future. As soon as Eric told him about it, Charles felt in his heart that something was wrong.

Because it's just today. Paul and Daken had just gone out in the morning, and they had killed Macaulay at noon. And Charles, they knew about it after the afternoon.

It was only because they were at school and Charles had used mind detection to find out. But how did Magneto know about it? And so quickly! Charles thought about it for only one possibility, and that was that Magneto had something to do with it.

"Magneto!" Charles, who thought of this, suddenly felt a sudden anger, and then the anger was followed by a sense of powerlessness. For the first time, he called his old friend's nickname instead of his real name.

But even if he was screaming and screaming, it was useless now. Charles seemed to have all the strength of his body drained at this moment. He leaned limply on the back of his wheelchair.

Eric knew how smart his old friend was, and he could guess all sorts of things at the slightest hint of a leak. But now the whole plan has begun, like a boulder tumbling from the top of a mountain.

Anyone who stands in the way of the boulder will be crushed to powder as it rolls down and charges!

Magneto enjoyed looking at the powerlessness of Charles now, he leaned on the wheelchair and was no longer in the spirit of the past, now he looked like a real old man.

"So, Charles. I've helped you choose where to stand. The future of mutants requires our efforts. Magneto said easily as he watched Charles leaning weakly on his wheelchair.

"Why?" said Charles, with his head down, in a feeble, bewildered tone, "Why? Why let the two children kill Macaulay, what you're doing now is only going to make the mutants' situation worse!"

When Charles said his last words, he almost shouted them out.

Unfazed or pitiful by Charles's anger, Eric said in a calm and relaxed tone, "It's simple, Charles. Because Macaulay is also a mutant, and a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants!"

Magneto's words were like a shock. Charles looked up abruptly and looked at Magneto with an incredulous look. "What are you talking about!" Charles couldn't believe what he had heard.

Macaulay is a mutant, and he's a member of the Mutant Brotherhood! So what's going on with his anti-mutant bills? More questions arose in Charles's mind.

"Yes, that's right, my old friend. Councilor Macaulay is indeed a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants. He is also a member of the Mutant Revival Cause. Eric continued.

"Well, don't look at me with that expectant look. Although some mutants do have the ability to fake their death skills to deceive others. But Macaulay is indeed dead, killed by your students. The fact that your students have bloody hands on this hasn't changed. Eric watched the look of hope in Charles's eyes shatter and felt very happy.

"Why?" said Charles, asking again. There are many meanings in this sentence, such as why Macaulay is a mutant and still does those things, why he wants his students to kill Macaulay, and what good is it for Eric if Macaulay is dead?

Eric looked at his former friend's bewilderment, and even said slowly with a painful expression: "For the mutant Charles." ”

"You know, since I suffered so much in the concentration camps and slaughtered so many of my people, I should have understood one thing. Peace is never bought by compromise. Eric straightened the cuffs of his trench coat.

"I am a Jew, and a Jew living in Germany. When I was younger. When I was a kid. Everything I've been through. ”

"In the early days, the Nazis enacted laws that only forbade Jews from sitting on park benches. I never went to the park again, and my mother told me: bear with me, and everything will pass. ”

Then the Nazis enacted a law requiring all Jews to wear the star mark. From now on, I need to hang a star on my chest to show that I am different from other people. It made me lose my friends at school. My mother told me: bear with me, everything will pass. ”

"Then there was my father's grocery store, and the Nazis made a law that all Jewish shops were heavily taxed because they said that Jews were making ill-gotten gains. Our family's living environment is getting more and more difficult. But my mother still told me: bear with me, and everything will pass. ”

"Then I was kicked out of school and my family was forced to move out of our old neighborhood. Because the Nazis enacted a new law, they required all Jews to live together, and all Jewish children had to go to the same school. We were taught in school that Jews were born sinful and that they should pay for it with their lives. At this point, my mother continued to say to me: bear with me, and everything will pass. ”

"Until we were put in a concentration camp, when my mother died in front of me. She finally couldn't say: bear with it, everything will pass. Because in this world, there are things that will never pass!"

By the time Eric said this, his features had begun to distort.

"I met you and Hank when I was at the lowest point in my life. You persuaded me to join the Order, wash away the blood, and we can make the mutants rise in a peaceful way. But look at what I've got! Charles!"

Magneto put his hands on the armrests of Charles' wheelchair, his face so close to Charles. His roar was like the roar of a dragon, as if it were going to devour Professor Charles alive.

"My wife and children are all dead! My situation has not changed with time and strength. I'm still the same little boy who was kicked out of the park, kicked out of school, and put in a concentration camp!"

"And there is no difference between the current government and the Nazis of the past. Charles, your seemingly peaceful proposition is just like my mother, and you say to the mutant children in a different way: bear with me, and everything will pass. But Charles, there are some things that can't get by!"

"For various reasons, the life of mutants now looks like it's okay, but Charles. It's just boiling a frog in warm water, like I'm being put in a concentration camp step by step. If we had resisted in the first place, maybe my parents wouldn't have died in the concentration camps! And that kind of forbearance, that kind of concession, is the real thing!"

Eric looked directly into Charles' eyes and looked at him with a determined look.

"When mutants are accustomed to the current life, and continue to endure the increasing interference and control of human society. By the time everything has already started, we're all done! So I've been thinking about this all these years. ”

Eric suddenly said something that surprised Charles. "I learned that violence doesn't solve the problem, Charles. ”

The professor felt that he had been hit by a huge shock today, and Eric had already done so many things, and he still said that violence would not solve the problem. So why would he use violence?

Fortunately, Eric's next sentence provides an answer. "Violence does not solve the problem, only revolution can do!"

"My real name is Marx. There is also a philosopher with this name in my hometown. The idea he created, that communist idea. Once in Eastern Europe, in Asia, the flames of revolution were burning. Eric calmly recounted his thoughts.

"The revolutionary in the East once said, and I agree with it: where there is oppression, there is resistance! The more intense the oppression, the stronger the resistance!" Eric, at last, began to tell his thoughts on the whole thing.

"Boiling frogs in warm water is making us mutants die slowly. When we want to resist, we are powerless. In that case, why don't we just push all the mutants to the brink of life and death in one go. Only in this way will we be able to unite my comrades and strength!"

Magneto's idea seemed crazy, and Charles was already overwhelmed by Eric's idea.

"So many years ago, I was thinking about how I was going to do this. In my days with you as X-Men, I learned a lot from those U.S. government officials, those dirty and vile political tricks. Magneto said this, with a smile on his lips.

"So I thought of the current approach, if the human government can design a weapon X program against mutants, why can't I design an anti-X program! Use drugs to control the X genes in mutant humans and make them recessive. As long as they don't use the mutant ability, they won't be exposed. ”

"We can organize companies and elect politicians. Introduce new bills. The implementation of those cruel and tyrannical laws will surely make all mutants realize how illusory their lives are now. ”

"Only then will they be able to abandon their false illusions and come together with me. And Macaulay's death was a very good trigger. I am so grateful to Congressman Macaulay for his sacrifice, for the sacrifice he made for our great cause. ”

Charles was silent for a long time, and finally spoke at this moment. His voice was hoarse and weak: "Do you understand how many mutants will die in this?" ”

"Great causes require noble sacrifices. Charles. Magneto didn't seem to care.

"So, in fact, the Master of Illusions and Stryker are also fake, right? It's a trap that lures me. Charles felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.

"Yes, Jason is a significant force. I had rescued him a long time ago. Including Paul, I found him before he got out of hand. Because of the mutant runaway incident, you began to look for those mutants who were out of control, and the reappearance of the X-Men made me see an opportunity. Do you really think that Paul is just a simple mutant who has lost control? Magneto had a triumphant smile on his face.

"Now your students, the new generation of X-Men has razed Stryker's secret base to the ground. But that's a good job, because I also hate the Weapon X program! Think about Charles. ”

When Stryker traveled to Washington to try to convince members of Congress to pass the bill, his base was destroyed by a group of mutants. Guess what will happen to him? And your student kills a city councilor, and your teacher destroys a U.S. military base. Where will your school be?"

Magneto said in a tone that could not be refused. "The proverb of the East: The torrent of history is mighty, and those who go along with it prosper and those who go against it perish. Now the wheels of history have begun to turn. ”

"You have always been indecisive and do not distinguish between right and wrong. This time, as an old friend of yours, I made the decision for you Charles. This time let's join forces, for the mutants!"
