Chapter Seventy-Four: The X-Men Dispatch and the Illuminated Spider Lantern (Today's First Update, 4,600 Words)
Master of Illusions, the name Logan is not familiar with, and even says that he has not heard of it at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info, but Scott next to him is well aware of how terrifying this guy is. When Charles said the name, he almost subconsciously gasped.
"Who is this guy?" Rogan could see Charles' shock and Scott's fear. So he had to ask.
But Charles doesn't have time to deal with him right now. Charles, who was in a wheelchair, stared at Paul with his eyes fixed, although on the surface, Charles was simply looking at Paul. But those who know Charles well now understand that this is Charles using his abilities.
The power of mind control that could change the entire world by his own strength. Someone once persuaded him to simply use this power to brainwash all human beings in the world.
Thinking that Charles's strength is so strong, there are very few people in the world who can resist his ability. He could have turned the world into what he wanted. But Charles is a person who sticks to the bottom line of morality, and he prefers to achieve the world he wants in a normal way.
Just because he doesn't use his own abilities doesn't mean that his abilities have degraded. As he was now, he stared into Paul's eyes. Use his mutant ability to wash away the illusions left in Paul's mind by the master illusions.
Paul's body was constantly trembling, as if someone had pierced his body with a strong electric current, and the muscles of his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
It wasn't until Charles stopped doing all this that Paul stopped trembling. He passed out completely and fell to the ground. On the side, Dai Ken still doesn't know what's going on.
Of course, his father, Logan, couldn't figure out what was going on now.
It wasn't until Charles stopped using his abilities on Daken that he spoke slowly. "Jason, Master of Illusions. It's a student who was sent here before. ”
And his mutant ability is just like his nickname. It is a mental illusion and the mind that controls others. Charles looked at Paul at the end and said to Logan at the same time.
"I'll talk about the specifics later. I used a mental cage for Paul. So that he is now free from the grasp of the Master of Illusions. Logan, you take Daken back first, you have to keep an eye on him from now on, and I think it's better to let him go to the confinement cell now. Scott, you also sent Paul to a separate confinement cell. ”
When Logan and Scott sent their two children to a separate confinement room for temporary isolation. Charles's fists couldn't help but clench into fists. His knuckles had begun to turn white because he had pressed too hard.
Bang~!This is a fist that slams into the armrest of the wheelchair and makes a loud noise. Charles's first such outrage. Even though he has experienced countless setbacks and blows, and even betrayals. He had never felt such anger as he had.
Because someone touched what he cherished the most!
Charles has always cared for all the students in the college as if they were his own children. Because he has given all his good hopes for the future to these children.
For him, protecting and educating these children is his mission and responsibility. He has decided to dedicate all his energy and life to the cause of peaceful coexistence between mutants and normal people.
And turning the students he did his best to educate into blood-stained executioners was something Charles could not tolerate the most. At this moment, Charles had the urge to kill for the first time!
……………………
In the basement of Charles Manor, there is a base built specifically for the X-Men. Including the Blackbird fighter plane, the X-Men uniform equipment, are all parked in this place. There's also a conference room dedicated to meetings with X-Men.
And now Charles has summoned all the X-Men to this conference room for a meeting. "I think you already know the specifics, what do you think? Now Charles's words are not the usual gentleness, but full of coldness.
It was Logan who asked the question first, and his question was still that. "Who the hell is the Master of Illusions, and what the hell is going on with him?"
Charles said, looking into Logan's eyes. "Jason, Master of Illusions, a mutant with a talent for mind control and mental illusions, was once a student here. His mind control is very, very terrifying, and he is good at creating all kinds of illusions. ”
Logan was a little surprised. "I thought there weren't many people in the world who had this kind of talent. In addition to you and Jean, this illusion master can even control people's minds remotely, just like you?"
Charles shook his head. "Not really. The Master of Illusions does not have the ability to remotely control people's minds. He has a limited range of control. And what he's good at is setting up illusions. Plant a seed in a person's heart and let the seed take root and sprout. Use subtle hypnosis to influence others. ”
And it was this situation that Paul was affected by. The Master of Illusions planted a seed in his heart. As a mutant, Paul felt resentful of people because of the discrimination and abuse he had suffered. There is also a yearning for a mutant safe society. The Master of Illusions took advantage of this gap and planted a seed that was difficult for anyone to discover. ”
"That is for Paul to fight for the future of mutants. It was an idea that Paul could not refuse. Charles said with some sighs.
Paul's weakness was exploited by the Master of Illusions. As long as there were extreme ideas in the mind, then it was possible for Paul to do anything extreme. Just like this time, he and Daken went together to assassinate Macaulay. Paul was hypnotized. ”
"No wonder the first time I saw Paul, I thought he was weird. At that time, his expression was a little sluggish, and at that time he had just exploded out of control, and I thought it was caused by losing control of his power. It seems that Paul had already been planted with the seeds of illusion. Scott the Cyclops remembered the first time he went to pick up Paul.
"That's how it should be, he was probably found in the first place, planting the seed just when his abilities got out of hand. Charles nodded.
Charles stopped there, not wanting to go any further. Logan knew that Charles was there to save face. Paul was hypnotized, but Dacon was not. He was purely deceived by someone, and he was stupidly used as a gun. Thinking of this, Logan felt a little worried.
"Jason, Master of Illusions, has very little control over his abilities, when he first came to our academy. His father begged us to heal his son. At this, Charles shook his head. "He took his son's mutant awakening as a disease. It is thought that medication can be relied upon. It's like treating an infectious disease. ”
"I've tried to steer Jason on the right path, but ......," Charles shook his head. His father didn't want that. He just wanted me to take his son's abilities away. Eventually, Jason's abilities got out of hand and he killed his mother. His father, the man named Stryker. Picked up Jason and never came back. ”
Charles said with some gloom. "Stryker is a general in the military, and has always had a strong prejudice against mutants because of his son's affairs and the death of his wife. And now, Paul has traces of the Master of Illusions' abilities. He wants to provoke resistance against mutants, especially the students at our school!"
Charles shook his head, his expression a little determined. "I can't let this happen! Our students shouldn't be tools for others. Now that this incident has happened, I'm sure Stryker will have a follow-up method, I can't let these children become his victims!Warriors, I need to rely on you this time!"
All the X-Men looked at Charles with serious eyes and nodded firmly.
Inside this secret underground base lies a team of weapons that are extremely terrifying to humans in the world. That's the brain thinking enhancer. This thing was built with the help of Charles's old friend Magneto.
This super-powerful machine can spread the range of the professor's brainwaves and increase the intensity of the brainwaves. Suffice it to say that at the time of using this machine, the earth had few secrets to speak of in front of Charles. The brains of seven billion people around the world, all but a few, are unable to defend themselves against his invasion.
He rarely uses it. But today he uses the machine to search for Stryker's location. Jason, the master of illusions, is himself proficient in illusion thinking, and his thinking is one of the few in the world that can be caught by Charles. So Charles could only focus his search on Stryker.
After finding out where Stryker was, Charles immediately informed the X-Men of where Stryker was.
"You're on a mission to bring the Master of Illusions back, and it's too dangerous to keep him with Stryker. Hank has prepared special injections for you, which will allow you to resist the invasion of illusionary thoughts for a certain period of time. But after seeing Jason, you must move quickly, because the effect of the injection is only thirty seconds. You're going to give Jason a special tranquilizer right away. ”
Before all the X-Men had begun to board the Blackbirds, Charles finally gave the crowd a final request and handed the special injections that Hank had developed to the Soldiers.
After everything was ready, the Blackbird turned on stealth mode and flew in the direction Charles had found.
……………………
In a secret base 1,000 kilometers away from New York City. A middle-aged man in a military uniform with a serious face was explaining some matters to his subordinates.
This serious middle-aged man is none other than Stryker, and this secret base is where the X-weapon is developed. In fact, since Hydra started the X weapon program, this program has not stopped at all.
It's just that it has changed from Germany to the United States. And now the leader of this project has also changed from the Red Skull back then to Stryker.
"How's he doing?" Stryker said of him, the man who caused this big trouble, Jason, the master of illusions.
"He's been quieter lately since the last time. There aren't too many strange moves. Stryker's lieutenant reported to him.
Stryker nodded. "I'm going to fly to Washington right now. Macaulay's death was a very good opportunity. Compared to the death of a New York City councilor, it will make the old men in Congress realize. For mutants, killing an official is no different from killing an ordinary person. ”
"It's a really good opportunity to push that program to them. Mutants are a cancer and pest of society. They must be eliminated!"
Stryker never hides his hatred for mutants. He wants to take advantage of this incident to promote the mutant project in the bill.
And now he ordered his adjutant to prepare the plane for himself. He immediately took off and flew to Washington. And this time he rubbed shoulders with the Blackbird fighters of the X-Men.
…………………………
Perspective back to New York City. In a swimming pool called Bilang Beach, Li Jie chartered a separate swimming pool. He's training here for Thor, who has become a swollen Alaska.
"Dead dog, you swim faster for me! If you can't swim 50,000 meters in the time limit. I'm going to cancel your dinner!" Lee Jay trained Thor in a brutal way.
This former god of thunder has been completely frightened by Li Jie. Why did Li Jie want to directly wrap up the entire independent swimming pool venue, because his training was a bit cruel and could not be seen by ordinary people.
He held a sporty shotgun, which did not fire quickly and did not use much ammunition. It is generally used to practice handlebars, or to play sports skeet.
However, for Li Jie, this gun is very useful now. Because he prepared quite a lot of rubber bullets. This gun fires rubber bullets much less powerful than regular rifles.
And that's exactly what motivates Thor to swim. As long as Thor, who is fat into a ball, looks a little slack in the water. Li Jie would shoot Thor. Of course he will avoid the parts of his head.
Although rubber bullets can't kill people, especially after this power has been reduced. But it hurts to hit the body.
"Swim faster, dead fat, it's a great gift for me to be able to give you boiled chicken breast and salted celery today!If you dare to slack off, you know the consequences!" said Li Jie, firing a shot into the waters around Thor.
Rubber bullets hit the water, and the waves splashed down Thor's face. He felt wronged like never before. Ever since the last time Li Jie saw him, he had completely controlled Thor.
What can be eaten each day is strictly controlled. Fats and fats are not allowed, and protein intake depends on egg whites. Salt depends on a certain amount of brine. All greens are either boiled or eaten raw. Well, the kind without oil and salt seasonings.
According to Thor, his livestock eat better than that. But as long as he dared to resist a little, Li Jie immediately hit him with a rubber bullet. If he dares to resist fiercely, he will switch to a low-powered rifle and turn on the burst fire mode.
During this time, Thor went from being beaten all over his body after resisting at the beginning, to not daring to resist now. The devil knows what exactly he went through.
Fortunately, Osborne's new medicine can quickly treat wounds, especially when Thor was beaten by Li Jie, all of them were skin wounds, although they were very painful, but they did not hurt their muscles and bones.
Of course, a good dog trainer understands that. When a dog reacts enough, you need to give it a little reward so that the dog is motivated to train.
So after many days without seeing meat, Thor finally ate boiled chicken breast today. Oh my God, it turns out that this taste is firewood. What tastes bad to eat, he usually feeds it to the dogs. Today, however, Thor eats as happily as a dog.
While Lee Jay was training Thor, Peter Parker contacted him. "George used a spider searchlight? A New York City Councilor was killed? Suspected mutants did it? Okay, I see, I'll be over in a moment. ”
Li Jie glanced at Thor, who was still struggling in the pool, and shouted. "Okay, that's it for today. ”
Hearing Li Jie's words, Thor felt relieved. For the first time, he felt how blessed it was to be able to sit down and rest and eat something with a sip of water.
But then Li Jie's next sentence made him not so happy. "Because today's exercise is not all done, I will halve the amount of dinner for you. Li Jie's understatement made Thor feel like he was on the edge of the abyss.
You are the devil! You must be the devil! In fact, you are the devil who put on Li Jie's human skin to play with me!
