Chapter 113 [Blood and Glory]
Night falls.
Tang Lang and Professor X Charles Ewell walked out of the "Waste Bird" bar and came to the brightly lit and busy streets of New York.
Charles walked out of the bar and headed straight for a black Bentley.
Tang Lang followed.
Charles's heart seems to be filled with a sense of justice and a noble patriotic (American) fervor. Therefore, when Mora McTag invited him to help with the work of the political axe department, he said yes without much thought.
Mora McTag was very happy to see that Charles was willing to serve the political axe, and she asked Charles to take Tang Lang to the political axe department together.
The "political axe department" she said was the yamen, and Charles already knew it. Although she didn't reveal which political axe department this political axe department was in the bar.
Tang Lang and Charles got into the Bentley car.
- He was invited by Charles to go to Charles's house for a talk.
Charles started the car and drove it into the rolling traffic of New York.
"Who is Mora McTag sacred?"
Tang Lang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked Charles.
Charles glanced at Tang Lang, and seemed to be a little hesitant to reveal something to him. He couldn't use his abilities to probe Tang Lang's inner world, so he naturally felt foggy about Tang Lang's origin.
"Uh......"
Charles hesitated.
Tang Lang said directly: "Charles, you shouldn't suspect that I'm a spy, right?" ”
"Nope. - Mora McTag is a secret agent of the CIA. ”
Charles changed his words, "Although my telepathic ability is completely ineffective in front of you. However, since the first time I saw you, I have been full of affection for you. According to my strong psychic abilities, I have a hunch that you should not be a saboteur or a troublemaker, but a good person. ”
"I want to tell you that your hunch is correct. -- As a secret agent of the CIA, Mora McTag found out that Colonel Bob Hendry of NATO was meeting with the leaders of the three gangs, the Italian ambassador, and the CEO of Lockheed, at the 'Hellfire Club'. Disguised as a dancer, she infiltrates the Hellfire Club and accidentally discovers that Colonel Hendry and the mutant Sebastian Shaw are meeting in a dark room, and the two parties have reached a secret deal......"
Tang Lang talked eloquently.
"So you know it all."
Charles was surprised, "You are also a mutant and have strong telepathic abilities. ――You're still saying we're not the same kind of people? ”
Tang Lang smiled and didn't explain.
He left Charles to guess.
"Sebastian Shaw, also known as the 'Black Emperor', was a director of the 'Institute of Genetics', a medical research organization under the Gestapo, Germany's state secret police, during the Second World War, where he studied the 'Nordic-Indian Germanic races' and 'Germanic ancestry'. He was a Nazi doctor, a medical doctor, and an ardent follower of Hitler. Later, in Strasbourg, France, he experimented with Jewish prisoners from the German Dachau concentration camp. After Germany surrendered, the man was nowhere to be found. ”
Charles was surprised, "You know a lot about Sebastian Shaw. ”
"Sebastian Shaw is a Nazi remnant. However, as one of the mutants, he has a very powerful ability, which can absorb the energy that his body can touch and transform it into his own use. This kept him forever young, and he still looked like a strong young man in his twenties and thirties. He will be our most intractable enemy in the future. ”
The last sentence Tang Lang said was a solemn reminder to Charles.
Charles nodded as he drove, "Sebastian Shaw has bought NATO's Colonel Bob Hendry with money. Colonel Hendry proposed to the United States and the political axe that Cupid missiles be deployed in Turkey to threaten the Soviet Union. This is bound to provoke a strong backlash from the Soviet Union, which is likely to cause a mismatch and the outbreak of World War III. ”
"After the Second World War, the Red Army and the Allied forces invaded Germany. Hitler committed suicide and Germany announced its surrender. Sebastian Shaw, who has always admired 'blood and glory', was full of hostility to the United States and the Soviet Union in his heart. He is hell-bent on provoking a nuclear war between the two superpowers. Among them, there is also an ulterior motive for him. ”
"Unfortunately," said Charles, "I don't know where Sebastian Shaw is now?" Otherwise, I will read his mind and control it through telepathy. ”
"Charles, I think you should know that Sebastian Shaw had several helpers working for him by reading the memories of the CIA's secret agent Mora McTagg."
"You mean 'Diamond Man', 'Tornado' and 'Red Devil'?"
Tang Lang nodded, "The diamond person you are talking about, her nickname is actually 'White Queen', and like you, she also has powerful telepathic superpowers. In addition, he can instantly diamond his body. Once his body takes the form of a diamond, it can cause her to take a huge blow of energy. Therefore, the White Queen will be the most formidable enemy we will face other than the Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw. ”
Listening to Tang Lang's words, Charles's expression was solemn.
While they were talking, Charles drove the Bentley to a town with a wide road, and stopped outside the courtyard of a white villa.
"This is my home." Before Charles got out of the car, he pointed to the white villa outside the window.
Tang Lang looked around and saw that this town was a very common kind of leisurely and relaxed life town in the United States, with towering trees and flowers everywhere, which was also the environment he expected.
He couldn't help but admire.
Charles got out of the car and said with a smile: "This white villa, and this Bentley, are all left to me by my parents." ”
Tang Lang also got out of the car and followed Charles into the white villa.
Pushing open the door, I saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron standing in the living room of the villa, with loose hair and a slight puff.
Charles smiled at the middle-aged woman and said, "Please, don't be my mother again." - Raven, introduce you to a new friend. ”
Tang Lang also thought that the middle-aged woman was Charles's mother, but he soon saw that her skin quickly turned blue scaly skin, and her pale yellow hair also turned red.
"Raven Duckholm, nicknamed 'The Witch'."
Charles introduced to Tang Lang.
Then, he introduced Tang Lang to Raven Darkholm, the Witch.
"Yellow people. Are you from Huaxia, or are you yourself? ”
Raven Duckholm looked at Tang Lang curiously with a pair of strange eyes.
- The iris of her eyes is yellow.
"Chinese people." Tang Lang smiled, "Nice to meet you, Raven." ”
Tang Lang knew that Raven Darkholm, the Demon Girl, had the superpower to transfer the atoms and molecules in her body to change her appearance. She can become anyone she sees.
The three of them sat on the couch in the living room and continued to chat.
"Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw seems to want to turn this world into a world of mutants. In order to achieve this goal, he sought to provoke a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States. When the nuclear bombs of the two superpowers explode on the land of both sides, the radiation released, once absorbed, will cause the human body to mutate, resulting in countless mutants. ”
Listening to Tang Lang's words, Charles was shocked, "Sebastian Shaw's thoughts are as crazy as Hitler's. He did this to destroy humanity. I think we have to stop him. ”
"But the ability of the three of us alone doesn't seem to be able to stop Sebastian Shaw. We need to gather more mutants to fight Shaw. ”
Charles nodded, "That's why I want to work with the CIA." The CIA's strong intelligence-gathering capabilities make up for our shortcomings in this area. ”
-- The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or CIA. The agency works through intelligence gathering to safeguard U.S. national interests and national security.
During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the CIA's main activity was to plot to overthrow foreign political axes.
The CIA is the intelligence, espionage and counterintelligence agency of the US political axe, which collects and analyzes intelligence from all aspects of the world and reports to all major departments of the US political axe.
It is well-known in the United States and around the world.
Tang Lang naturally knew the CIA's capabilities.
He said in his heart: It seems that the cooperation between Charles and the CIA is an idea that he has had for a long time.
"Charles, the CIA people don't seem to know that so many mutants with superpowers have suddenly appeared in this world at this time."
Charles laughed and said, "That's why I'm only going to the CIA this weekend to give them a good look at the mutants." When the time comes, the CIA will have to work with us. ”
"Mutants have grown larger and larger, and they will be treated as non-human beings. Because of their extremely powerful capabilities, the American political axe will also be hostile to them. ”
Tang Lang's worries are not unreasonable.
Charles muttered, "...... I think I'm going to change the mind of the American political axe. Mutants are not enemies of American political axes and people. They will live in harmony with ordinary people and should not be hostile. ”
Tang Lang reminded him, "Mutants with superpowers, once they engage in illegal activities, will become the most headache for the political axe and the people of the United States." ”
"So, I think...... It is necessary to form a warring team of mutants to maintain peace in the world. Charles's eyes were full of fiery hope.
"This mutant team of yours can be called 'X-Men'!" Tang Lang said.;
