Chapter 686: Future Havoc
X Academy.
Deep underground, in a dark room.
Among the dense and heavy connecting wires is a delicate mechanical instrument. At this time, a thin figure was sitting on it, his eyes closed, and his pale face with a hint of pain on it.
Immediately, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hoo ......"
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat drops from his forehead and face, his eyes full of disbelief
"Actually...... Resistant to my psychic probes. I haven't encountered this kind of existence in many years. He whispered to himself, "He has incomparably superior psychic powers. ”
After saying that, there was a sound of the watch on his wrist.
Raise your finger and click, and a projection appears in front of you.
"Professor, we have something to report. ”
The person in the projection is Cyclops, who has a serious expression, "Professor, it's that young master from Hammer Corporation, who wants to meet with you." ”
“……”
Professor X did not have the slightest surprise on his face, sighed slightly, and manipulated the wheelchair under him to the elevator.
The elevator opened, and Professor X took him to the upper office, where Cyclops and Stormgirl were already sitting in their chairs waiting.
"Professor. ”
Seeing Professor X come up, both of them stood up respectfully.
"Alright, sit down. ”
Professor X said: "Did he say that he wanted to talk to me about something? ”
The two shook their heads, and said with laser eyes: "He just asked us to help with the introduction, and said that the specific matters would be discussed with the professor and the professor alone." ”
"Surely there is no good intention!"
Stormgirl said suddenly.
"Oh? Oloro, why do you say that? Professor X looked at Stormgirl curiously, "Did he show hostility?" ”
"Not really. Stormgirl frowned, thinking back to the situation. Li Lingyi really didn't show any hostility, and spoke with a smile the whole time. However, that smile made her uncomfortable, because although it was a smile, she didn't feel a trace of affection from that smile, and it was completely that kind of mechanical skin smile.
Therefore, this made her feel that Li Lingyi did not have any good intentions.
If Li Lingyi knew that he would be thought like this, he would definitely feel very depressed. Of course, he also admits that his laughter is indeed becoming more and more formulaic, and it is natural for people to think that it is fake.
"Professor, I don't think it's a good thing to be in contact with him now. ”
Laser Eye rationally analyzed: "Now he is still on the cusp, and the whole world is watching him and his company. If we reach out to them, I'm afraid our exposure will also increase, which is not a good thing. ”
Professor X nodded and gave him an approving look.
"You're right. He said, "We mutants have been adopting a way of living in seclusion for so long, in order to reduce the attention of the public." After all, this world doesn't have too much kindness towards mutants. ”
The two were silent, although the world worships superheroes, but for mutants, people's attitudes are a little different.
It stands to reason that both of these are existences with special abilities, and they should be treated in the same way. But why is it different? Even more than half of the average person is disgusted with mutants?
The reason is simple: there are too many mutants.
Yes, that's why.
Unlike superheroes, there are a lot of mutants, and if you add them all up, I'm afraid you have to have a small city population.
And these mutants, not all of them are so cool, the vast majority, is very ugly.
Some people may think that Hulk is ugly enough, however, there are even uglier mutants than they can bear.
Mutant variant, no longer normal human being.
Some were mixed with wild boar genes, and became half-human and half-pig. Some were mixed with mouse genes and became human mice. There are even those that mutate into plants, which is even more difficult to accept.
In this case, compared with those Avengers in the Avengers, it is simply compared to the underground.
If you look at the American team, Tony, Thor, which one is not handsome?
As for those mutants...... If it's good to do good deeds, the problem is that a large number of mutants don't do good deeds and often cause trouble and commit crimes. In this way, it is not surprising that people have a good opinion of mutants.
Because of this, Professor X brought the mutants under his command into a state of seclusion in his early years, and did not easily contact the outside world.
And now it is also because a new crisis has emerged.
"You've asked me before why you're reappearing in the world's sight. Professor X said suddenly.
The two looked at each other and both nodded.
They were indeed curious as to why Professor X had made such a decision. Of course, they trust the professor 100%, for them, the professor is like their father, sheltering their growth, allowing countless mutants to find companionship and the meaning of existence, and have a place to live.
"Because I can feel it. In this world, there will be a catastrophe. ”
Professor X said solemnly, without a smile on his face.
Catastrophe......
"I'll ask Jean and them to come too. ”
Professor X said, squinting his eyes slightly, the two knew that the professor was using brain waves to contact other people, which was a very powerful ability, and he didn't know how easy it was to use it compared to the phone.
Not long after, the office door was pushed open and several people walked in.
"Professor, what's the matter with calling us here?"
"Another mission?"
"Is there a new student coming? ”
A few people said, they were the phoenix girl Jean Gray, the demon girl Raven, the white queen Emma, and the iceman Robert.
At present, these people are the most effective cadres in the academy, and almost all the rest are out on missions, and they will not be able to come back in a short time.
"I called you here because I have something important to announce. ”
Professor X said, his eyes extremely serious.
"From today onwards, the academy and we are in a state of first-level readiness. ”
Level 1 Readiness?!
Everyone was shocked, and the Phoenix Girl immediately spoke, "Professor, is Magneto making a comeback again?"
Magneto, as the biggest enemy of X Academy, is naturally the first object of everyone's guessing.
Professor X, however, shook his head in denial.
"It has nothing to do with Magneto. Be...... A being more powerful than him. X frowned, "I don't know what it is, but I can feel that the psychic energy of this world is being disturbed. I don't know when the future will be, maybe tomorrow, maybe ten years from now, there will be an incomparably powerful existence. That time will be the time of catastrophe for humanity. We, we have to be prepared in advance. ”
