Chapter Seventy-Three: The Man Behind (Three Changes, 11,000 Words, Asking for Votes, Asking for Subscriptions)
Katie's mood hasn't been very high lately. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Because after the last time Daken attacked Li Jie, she had been feeling a little guilty. For Li Jie's guilt.
He had come to visit him with a gift from the East. But this happened at school, which made Katie very sad. Because since joining Xavier School for Gifted and Talented, the atmosphere here has made her feel that all her classmates and teachers are like a family.
This is also the atmosphere that Professor Charles has been trying to create. He hopes that the students here can feel the warmth and feel like home.
Because of this atmosphere, Katie has always seen the entire mutant school as one big family. Everyone is a family that loves each other. But among the "family" I thought I could trust, there was a guy who wanted to kill his best friend.
This makes Katie feel as sad as if she wanted to kill Li Jie. Although Li Jie has repeatedly told her that it doesn't matter much. But Katie still felt guilty. I hope to be able to help Li Jie do something.
And Katie, who has always had a good relationship with everyone and likes to smile at people, hated someone for the first time. is the one who wanted to kill Li Jie, but in the end he didn't succeed.
What he wanted was to kill someone! And the punishment for him was two days of confinement! This is a huge injustice, Katie thinks is it because his father is Wolverine, so the professor is covering him up in this matter?
So even Wolverine was hated by her. Now if she didn't have to, she would pretend not to see Wolverine in the hallway.
Logan could probably guess why. After all, what Dai Ken did was a bit out of line.
And with Daiken's words, Katie has now completely pretended that there is no such person in this world. Daiken's name has been crossed out from the list of the mutant family in Katie's heart, and she no longer recognizes Daiken as a member of this school.
On her day off, Katie did not return home to New York. Because her parents are both working-class. The working hours are irregular, and sometimes they will work on weekends. So if her parents are at work, she won't go home.
And because her parents are working-class, Katie is very economical in terms of usage. She didn't have the extra money to take a ride to New York City to watch a movie or buy clothes at the mall.
Katie is very talented in art. Dance and painting are where she can show her talents. However, art is a money-burning thing in any country and in any era.
Katie's parents couldn't afford expensive ballet lessons, and they couldn't afford to send Katie to an expensive art class. So these two talents can only become Katie's own self-amusement for a long time.
Because she had no one to guide her, she had to read books to learn to draw by herself, but because she didn't have a professional teacher to guide her, her progress was always slow, even if she was talented in this area.
However, after coming to the mutant school, some of the teachers here are involved in painting. Jean Grey, for example, studied professional painting for quite a long time when she was younger.
From basic sketching to the use of color, Katie can be given some guidance. This enriched Katie's life in her spare time. She can be afternoon on a sunny day off.
Pick up her homemade easel and head to the school lawn or pool, where Katie can paint in peace and undisturbed. Whether it's still life sketching or experimenting with watercolor, she can always immerse herself in it until sunset.
She felt that maybe she could become a painter in the future, and if she couldn't become a painter, it would be good to be able to go to Li Jie's company as a painter. Together, she can create stories about mutants. Let more people know about this group.
With this simple and simple idea, Katie is very serious about learning to paint.
It was early afternoon when Daken returned from New York. Katie is painting in the courtyard of the school. The golden sunlight shone on Katie's body, casting a layer of light on her.
Under the sunlight, you can see the fine and soft fluff on the pinna of the girl's ear, which is the sign of every young girl. The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, the lips are plump and full, and the eyelashes are slender and delicate when the curtains are lowered and interlaced. And the long blonde hair that seemed to be pulled up at random. She is like Aphrodite on earth.
Daken had a gift he had brought back from New York. He didn't lie to Logan about this. He was indeed going to New York to buy something.
These are paints and brushes bought from a painting tool shop. A whole set of brand-new tools, Logan's $150 was spent by him, and he also took the pocket money he usually saved for a total of fifty dollars.
The new set of painting tools cost him two hundred dollars. Much better than Katie's own set of old brushes that have begun to shed their fluff, and their homemade easels.
Daken wants to use this to ease his relationship with Katie.
But he didn't understand how out of line he had been with the last time, and how much Katie hated him. For the first time in his life, he walked up to Katie head-on and wanted to speak. He wasn't greeted by Katie's smiling face.
It's the sound of Katie putting the easel away. She didn't even care if the paint on the painting hadn't dried yet, she had already closed the easel, and as for whether it would ruin the painting, she seemed a little unconcerned. Because she didn't want to see this nasty guy.
"You~Hello!Katie, I know you. My name is Daken. I'm here to apologize for what happened last time. Dacon watched as Katie wanted to pack up and get out of here, and he understood that it was Katie who didn't want to see this person at all.
"Daken, right. Katie smiled at Daken with a false smile, and she didn't even have the slightest hint of pretense. "You're not going to apologize to me, you're going to apologize to the person you're going to hurt. And I'm going to get out of here now, don't stand in my way!" Katie said as she pushed away Dacon, who was standing in front of her.
There was no intention of continuing communication with him at all.
"I really apologize to you, you see, I bought you new painting tools from New York. Daken chased after Katie and showed her what he had bought.
"I know you like to draw, and I see that the tools you use are very old, so I bought a new set. I sincerely apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay? ”
Katie hurried back to her dorm room to avoid the annoying creature. She heard these words from Daken and stopped. He patted the painting tool that Daken wanted to hand her. "No need, Daken, as long as you don't show up in front of me in the future, I promise I won't be angry with you!"
After Katie said this, she simply used her mutant ability to directly penetrate various obstacles and shake off Daken.
And everything that Daiken did was seen by Logan, who was watching from afar. "Silly boy. Logan muttered. He said so though. But I'm still going to comfort Dai Ken, after all, this is my son's first time in love, and it is also the first time I have fallen out of love, and I guess I will feel uncomfortable.
"Boy, you know, men always fall out of love a few times. Not every woman will like you. As Daken walked back with his head down, Logan came up in the side of the aisle to talk.
He looked like he wanted to enlighten Daiken. Daken said to him with a somewhat frightened expression. "Dad, why are you here! You've just seen it all!"
Logan waved his hand, signaling that Daken didn't need to pay much attention. "Hey, every man grows up with a point where either you reject someone else, or someone else rejects you. Just ......"
When Logan approached Daken and tried to put his arm around her shoulder and have a good talk, he realized that something was wrong. "Boy, where did you get the smell of blood!"
When Logan tasted from Daken with an extremely faint smell of blood, which could even be ignored, his heart suddenly chuckled. The smell of blood was not Daiken's, but the smell of a stranger's blood.
And Daken was shocked by Logan's instant seeing through himself. Daken also has a strong sense of smell, and he has repeatedly confirmed that he should not be able to smell the blood on his body.
But many times when the young wolf is worse than the old wolf, it is not only the physical difference, but also the experience and wisdom of the old wolf, and he is far from it in this regard.
"Stick your claws out for me! right away!" Logan's tone was not joking. For the first time, Daken had seen Logan so angry with himself. Logan's muscles had exploded.
Daken stretched out his claws, and Logan could already smell the stronger smell of blood. He had bad associations in an instant. Daken killed!
When you kill the first person, it won't be so difficult to kill the second person.
While Charles was in his office banging on the next semester's schedule, Logan dragged Daken in without knocking on the door. In a rough way, Logan threw Daken into a single seat. Only then did he close the door.
"Logan, I've told you many times, you're a teacher now. You can't behave so roughly!" Charles said with some dissatisfaction.
"But Charles, this kid just went to kill someone!" said Logan, gesturing to Dacon, who he had thrown into his seat and was now a little overwhelmed.
And Charles was also shocked by Logan's news.
"Tell me Daken, who are you going to kill. And there is no one with you. You must tell the truth now!right now!" Logan said in an eager tone as he bent over Daken in his seat.
And Daken didn't want to answer at this time. He closed his lips tightly and didn't want to speak. Logan tried to punch him several times, but he didn't.
"Charles keep an eye on him, I'm sure he must have an accomplice! He doesn't know anyone in New York!" said Logan, and rushed out like crazy.
He was like a police dog, sniffing around every student.
"Is it true? Daken? You killed someone? You killed a person of your own free will?" said Charles, speaking to Daken, his tone accentuated the word voluntary.
"You know that we can't kill people at will? We don't have the right to take someone's life. ”
Daken tilted his head to the side, and he said in a low but firm voice. "I'm here for the future of mutants!"
Charles's pupils contracted, a phrase he had heard someone mention countless times.
When Logan finds Paul with the same scent, he drags him into Charles's office like a dead dog once again. And just as he was about to start violently questioning him, Laser-Eyed Scott rushed in.
He didn't know what was going on here. But that doesn't affect what he's going to say to the professor. "Professor, turn on the TV. Something big is wrong. ”
With that, Charles turned on the TV in his office. And adjusted to Fox New York News.
{According to reports from the scene, a fire broke out at the home of Mr. Macaulay, a New York City Councilman who lives on Long Island, at noon today.} Police had Mr. Macaulay at home at the time and had been killed. }
{Mr. Macaulay is known to be a staunch anti-mutant, person.} Mr. Macaulay's body was so badly damaged in the fire that it was difficult for the police to determine the cause of death. But some analysts have suggested that it cannot be ruled out that radical mutants killed Mr. Macaulay. }
{And the reason for his killing, most likely because of the mutant bill he pushed through, ............}
When the news aired, both Logan and Charles looked at Daken and Paul with an incredulous look. And Scott, who had just arrived, didn't know what was going on now.
"Did you do it?" Rogan felt some dry hair in his throat.
And when Scott heard this, he instantly understood something. "Wait Logan, you mean the two of them? Oh my God!"
At this point, it was useless for Daken and Paul to quibble. By the time Logan smelled the blood on them, their affairs had already been revealed.
"We're here for the future of mutants!" Paul was thrown to the ground by Logan, and now he hasn't gotten up yet.
And Logan and Scott's eyes couldn't help but look at Charles. Charles hesitated, but finally said in an apologetic tone. "I'm sorry, kid. I may need to get into your mind and take a look. ”
Now Charles also feels that something is wrong. Two children dared to go straight to New York City and kill a city councilor. It's not normal to think about it.
And Daken has always been well watched by Logan, and the probability of him having a problem is relatively small. Paul, on the other hand, was more suspicious. Charles is not a pedantic man. He doesn't actively read other people's minds when he doesn't have to. But when it really needs to be done. He's not going to be polite.
As Rogan and Scott waited patiently for the outcome of Charles' search for the results of his thinking. Charles gasped and leaned violently against the back of his wheelchair.
He looked at Paul in disbelief and uttered a shocking name at the same time. "Master of Illusions!"
