Chapter 216: Assassination
While Li Wei led the elf Megan to West Chester, New York, in a prehistoric biology exhibition hall in New York, a group of mutant students from the mutant academy that Li Wei wanted to find were watching and browsing here.
A young woman with white hair was explaining the habits of prehistoric humans to a group of children, when suddenly he yelled at a young boy.
"Yadi!
If Li Wei was present, he would have recognized this woman as one of Professor X's proud disciples, Storm Lady Auroro. Behind the group stood a handsome man with sunglasses and a woman with short shoulder-length hair, both of whom were Professor X's proud disciples, Scott the Laser Eye and Jane Grey, the Phoenix Girl.
At the snack shop not far from the exhibition, a small group of five people divided into two groups, and two of the older youths challenged the three people who were seated. The woman of the three had a handful of white hair on her head, and the man next to her looked like an ordinary handsome man, while the other man played with a lighter from time to time, and looked at the two young men with a somewhat lame and disdainful expression on his face.
The three people sitting are students at the Mutant Academy, the woman is the mischievous Marie and her handsome boyfriend, the Iceman Bobby, and the Burning Man John is playing with the lighter.
"Hey, man, can't you borrow a fire?" asked a young man with a cigarette in his mouth and an unkind tone to the fire man.
"Oh...... I'm sorry, no!" Burning Man replied in a sloppy manner, and then quietly sat in his seat to play with the lighter in his hand, his appearance making the little mischievous laugh.
"John, please~~~~" The little naughty would say this because it was not at all like the character of the Fire Man.
"John, why don't you continue to lame?" asked the Iceman.
"Because you like to watch. The Burning Man replied.
"Oh no! she doesn't like to look at this ......"
The two sat in their chairs and discussed, while the two youths were left to dry, completely ignored by the fire man and the iceman.
"Shit !!" The young man who was standing closer to the three took advantage of the fact that the fireman was not paying attention, grabbed the lighter and threw it to his partner behind. The latter took the lighter, lit a cigarette, and did not mean to return the lighter to the burning man, but looked at the other party defiantly.
"Boy, weren't you lame just now?" the young man smoking a cigarette looked at the burning man with a smug expression, while his companion turned into a meat shield, holding the burning man against him and not letting the other man advance.
"Idiot...... "The Burning Man said with a sneer, and winked at the young man who smoked.
I saw a ball of fire coming out of the cigarette in the young man's hand, which quickly burned to the sleeve of the young man's shirt, and immediately made him scramble for a while, constantly beating his arm, intending to extinguish the flame on his arm.
"John, that's enough!" With that, the iceman immediately fired a mist of ice to extinguish the flames on the young man's arm.
Naturally, the commotion caused here had already attracted the attention of many people, and when they saw the Iceman's actions, they couldn't help but be shocked. Although mutants are not secret beings, for ordinary humans, mutants' existence makes them subconsciously feel fearful.
Compared to the arrogance and trouble-making personality of the Fire Man, the personality of the Iceman is like his superpowers, calm and rational and low-key. Seeing the tourists gradually gathering together, the Iceman knew that if he didn't handle it properly, he would probably get into trouble for the Academy.
At this moment, the crowd of visitors suddenly stopped moving forward, and when they looked at it, they thought that time had stood still, but the water in the fountain was still flowing, the loudspeaker announcements were still continuing, and most importantly, the tourists in the distance were still able to move.
"Bobby, what are you doing?" looked around at something wrong, and Naughty asked her boyfriend.
"Trust me, I didn't do it. Iceman defended himself.
"Of course it wasn't Poppy's doing, because that's what I did. "A man in a wheelchair approached the trio, and his wheelchair nimbly navigated through the crowd.
"John, don't let you mess around like this in the future! You must know that your actions will only exacerbate the conflict between mutants and ordinary people, and if this continues, something will definitely happen. Professor X said to the Burning Man with a stern expression.
"Yes, I see. "In the eyes of John the Burning Man, only the strong deserve respect. Professor X, as an outstanding representative of the first generation of mutants, can erase him in an instant with terrifying strength, so the arrogant Fire Man can only obediently respond.
Professor X founded the Mutant Academy to teach young mutants to develop a correct worldview and values, but what Professor X didn't know was in the heart of the Fire Man, who was more in tune with Magneto's philosophy.
“…… Urgent news! Live reporting from Washington! Two hours ago, the Oval Office of the White House was attacked! The details are still being followed, and it is now certain that the president and vice president are safe and sound! Sources point out that this may have been the work of one or more mutants, and the authorities have set up an investigation team into the incident...... "A black-and-white television set (Note 1) placed on a shelf on the wall is inserting a news item, and Professor X frowned directly after hearing the news."
"Professor, I think it's time for us to go. Cyclops said to Professor X.
"You're right, Scott. Professor X agreed with the construction of the laser eye.
The people around him instantly returned to normal in the next second, while the young man who had been manipulated by the burning man continued his unfinished movements. But when he, his companions, and some of the tourists who were paying attention to the incident noticed that the group was gone, as if they had never been there. If it weren't for the ice residue on his face and body, the young man would have almost thought he was dreaming.
……
On the other side, Li Wei took the elf Megan on a bus, then transferred to a taxi, and finally arrived at the Mutant Academy. Of course, the cash on Li Wei and the elf was not enough to pay for the trip, so Li Wei had to let the taxi driver forget the extra fare, but he did not let the driver suffer and cured his back pain with acupuncture.
"Li, according to me, your ability is too good!" said the elf excitedly after watching Li Wei use his hypnotic ability.
"Hehehe...... If it weren't for some gluttonous little girl who used her illusion to take money from me to buy a hot dog while waiting for a taxi, I don't think I would have had to use this ability. Li Wei glared at the elf and said slowly.
"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm still in my development, so I've got a little bit of an appetite, just a little bit......" the elf said with a slight gesture with his thumb and forefinger.
"Forget it...... Anyway, it's already at the academy, so I won't pursue it. Li Wei looked at the European-style manor in front of him and the name plate in front of the Iron Flower Gate, and said.
"The first part of the chain of quests: Bringing Megan Guien (elf) to the Mutant Academy has been completed!
"The second part of the chain of missions has begun!Second ring: For the next twelve hours, protect the X children of the Mutant Academy from being hijacked by Colonel Stryker. ”
