"The mutant society is chaotic, and it urgently needs a storm of ideas and thinking."

In Professor Charles's office, Merlin spoke eloquently to the moderate mutant leader in front of him:

"The two attitudes of the mind, that is, you and Magneto Eric, the moderate and the radical views you represent, will tear your social state even more."

"Racial unity needs to start with ideological unity, and now that Magneto has failed, this is an excellent opportunity for moderates."

Merlin flicked his fingers, and without a hint of personal emotion, he said to the professor:

"I'm actually not used to this kind of trickery, but work is work, and if you don't like it, you have to get it done."

"In S.. While L.D. is fighting against the extremist mutant forces, I hope that you, as the leader of the moderate faction, will stand up and expand your influence in the mutant society with official support. ”

"You're pushing Charles to the forefront!"

The Demon Girl Raven was very dissatisfied and said:

"He's going to be a target for the madmen... He will be called a traitor, and he will be spurned. ”

"Your Excellency Raven! Don't be so naïve! ”

Merlin's voice became a little deeper, and he said:

"How can you really do something without risk? If the professor doesn't come forward to lead the leaderless mutants and blend the scattered sand into a whole, who is qualified to come forward? You? You can actually do it too, the neutral thinking you represent is tempting for those hesitant mutants, and you are also well-known and popular enough. ”

Merlin looked at Raven and said:

"But the question is, will you cooperate with us? Are you willing to stake everything for the future of your race? ”

Raven didn't answer.

Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Look, you don't want to... But there had to be someone else to do it, and no one else but Professor Charles could do it. What's more, how much those thugs hate him, and how much mutants who want to live in peace will support him... As long as the professor cooperates with the official actions, I can guarantee that those mutants who are willing to obey the order will definitely have a protected home. ”

"Speaking of which, Magneto's plan for a 'utopia' is actually quite feasible."

Merlin looked at the professor and said:

"The only problem is that it's not up to him to do it. I'm going to ask you now on behalf of my director, Professor Charles, are you willing to take over this mess left by Magneto? ”

"What do you mean?"

The professor didn't speak, but Raven asked first:

"You're saying that the World Security Council will allow us to build a state?"

"It's impossible to build a nation, don't even think about it."

Merlin waved his hand:

"Once you take this step, you will clearly provoke a war with the World Security Council. What I really mean is, you guys, have heard of S.. L.D. Is there a system of 'reserved areas' in an alien world? ”

"I understand."

The professor nodded, and he said:

"Auroro is a wizard, and she told me about the system you are promoting, there are currently 17 reservations in the whole of New York, and any aliens who don't want to participate in disputes can live peacefully in the reservations, and the order of the reservations is in charge of the security officers elected by each of them, and most of the aliens in New York have accepted this system and integrated into it."

"Well, the system is working very smoothly at the moment."

Merlin Says:

"In my opinion, the so-called 'utopia' is just another larger mutant reservation."

"Magnit's Brotherhood of Mutants has bought the islands in the uncharted waters of the Pacific, and the island owner he registers..."

At this point, Merlin paused, he looked at Professor Charles, and he said:

"It's you, Professor..."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Charles and Raven were stunned.

"I also just received the news, and frankly, I was surprised too."

Merlin Says:

"It seems that you are an important part of Eric's utopian plan, and perhaps, he has planned to draw you and your moderate mutants into this storm, but luckily, the storm was stopped before it could blow."

"Legally, you're already the owner of the archipelago, so you can continue to push the utopian system, but instead of the extreme confrontational thinking of the Mutant Brotherhood."

Merlin stood up, spread his hands, and said to the professor and Raven:

"A reservation open to all mutants, mutants who are unable to adapt, or unwilling to live in the existing order, can be included in the archipelago. If you're willing to take over this project, then Director Fury and I will find a way to move the system forward... The premise is that you must manage the island under the supervision of the existing system. ”

"We don't want to see it become the birthplace of the extremist ideas of mutant separatism! As for the mutants who are willing to continue to live in society, they can move into the reservations of each city and live with the aliens, or they can continue to hide their identity and live. ”

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the hesitant professor, and said:

"And one last point, Professor, if you are willing to cooperate with us to complete the ideological unification of mutants, then, we can guarantee that the Mutant Registration Act, which is in the pipeline, will definitely not be passed..."

Merlin's last condition made the professor jerk his head up.

There was a beating, undisguised joy in his eyes.

The so-called "Mutant Registration Act" is a very extreme bill promoted by some bastard senators who are afraid of chaos in the world in order to win public opinion.

They advocate that the government make it mandatory for all mutants to register their information and regularly communicate this information to the public, so as to prevent mutant "mobs" hiding in the crowd from waiting for opportunities to carry out sabotage operations.

The prototype of this bill has been around for a long time, but it has been suppressed by the mainstream.

Politicians are not all stupid, they know very well that once this bill is passed, it means that the exclusion and oppression of mutants in society will go further, which will cause a series of social problems.

You must know that in the current population composition of the earth, the number of mutants has reached about 5%-7%, which is more than the population of some ethnic groups with special cultures, and this does not include hidden mutants, that is, ordinary people who may become mutants, but have not yet awakened.

While many people are reluctant to admit it, mutants already have the foundation to become a truly significant force.

The Mutant Registration Act has been excluded from mainstream thought, but in recent years, for a variety of reasons, the bill with some populist ideologies has once again been on the rise.

Fury scoffed at this bill, as a secret agent leader who advocated control, he had privately told Merlin that once the "Mutant Registration Act" was implemented, the power of the mutant brotherhood would immediately swell by about 3-5 times, and at that time, the contradictions between humans and mutants would be more acute, and the slightest carelessness would immediately cause a worldwide political turmoil.

However, there are many people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and what is even worse is that when those humans who hate mutants for various reasons are instigated, this outrageous bill may really become a reality.

As one of the leaders of the mutants, it is impossible for the professor not to have heard of this bill, and he is also worried about it.

And now, Merlin has made a guarantee on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., a huge force that plays a pivotal role in international affairs, but this guarantee itself is enough to make the professor feel that Nick is behind Merlin. Director Fury's sincerity too.

"Good!"

The professor sat up straight, and he said to Merlin:

"What do you need me to do?"

"Well, you'll have to talk to Fury."

Merlin waved his hand, and he said:

"I'm just passing on the word for him, and if you're interested, then in a few days, Fury will come to visit you again, and at that time, I hope that a more constructive cooperation agreement can be reached between the two of you."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at the clock on the professor's desk, he turned to look at Raven, and said:

"Alright, the visit is over."

He said:

"Prisoner Raven, please come with me. You have been officially arrested by S.Brown for your involvement in the affairs of extremist organizations, assault on public officials, and theft. L.D. arrest, you will face ... Well, a prison sentence of 7 years, and if an attempt is made to escape in the process, then the sentence will be extended to 15-20 years. ”

"Only 7 years? I thought you were going to sentence me to life in prison, or even to death. ”

The Demonic looked at Merlin with a strange expression, and the latter shrugged:

"Of course, you still have some suspected espionage and criminal certificates for undermining government departments during your time in the Strategic Science Corps, and if you want me to add all these charges to you, I don't mind."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the professor, and he said:

"This is also a sign of our sincerity... Raven, you are not an official member of the Mutant Brotherhood, so considering the future cooperation between the two sides, we are willing to give the Professor a face-saving face and treat you lightly. ”

"Thank you."

Professor Charles thanked Merlin with a serious face, and beside him, Raven touched the professor's desk with a hint of affection, which she remembered as a child, and when she was a child, she used to play hide and seek in this room with Charles.

Under Merlin's gaze, Raven did not resist, she obediently walked up to Merlin and stretched out her hands.

Merlin also symbolically placed a black handcuff on Raven's wrist.

Everyone present knew that this handcuff could not hold the ever-changing mutant in front of him.

"One more thing, Merlin."

As Merlin and Raven walked out of the room, the professor suddenly asked:

"That little girl, Lona... What are you going to do with her? ”

"Processing?"

Merlin turned back and said:

"That's a little too cold, Professor. I'm not a madman, that girl hasn't come out of the shadow of what happened before, I'll put her in the house first, and if she agrees, I'll send her to Xavier's Talented Junior Academy. ”

"Well, that's good."

The professor nodded, watching Merlin and Raven leave the castle.

He pushed the wheelchair and walked to the edge of the room, watching Raven and Merlin leave the manor from the lawn, a hint of relief on the professor's old face.

It's hard to make a decision between friends and race, but if you've made up your mind, there's no need to hesitate.

"You made a mistake."

"You're just fighting the tiger..."

A vague voice sounded in the professor's ears, causing the professor's face to change slightly, and he quickly pushed the wheelchair to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a box of medicine, and picked up one and put it in his mouth.

After a few moments, the professor's closed eyes opened, and there was an indelible haze in his eyes.

In yesterday's war, he was also struck by the energy that erupted from the underground fortress.

Under the cover of a weak appearance, in a psyche strong enough to affect reality, he also produced some...

I don't know if it's a good or bad mutation.

On the other side, Merlin appeared at the entrance of the Lonely Island Prison with a pale-faced Shapeshifter through an ultra-long-distance shapeshifting spell.

This kind of teleportation across the entire continent made mutants with strong physical fitness like the Demon Girl feel dizzy and uncomfortable, and more importantly, Merlin teleported directly to the inside of the prison without giving her a chance to see the environment near the prison.

The Shapeshifter didn't even know where the prison was located, she only vaguely heard the sound of a tidal wave.

In front of Merlin, the agents who had been informed in advance were ready for containment, an explosive collar, and a pair of electric shock shackles, all of which were standard when transferring important prisoners.

The Witch didn't struggle, and let the agents shackle her, and before being escorted away, Raven suddenly turned around, she looked at Merlin, and she said:

"You found little Lona, that is, you defeated the Red Devil Asazzo?"

"Sort of."

Merlin replied ambiguously.

"Kill him for me!"

Raven said in a cold tone:

"I'll just stay here until the end of my sentence, and I promise I won't do anything."

"Well, it looks like there is still a grudge between the two of you."

Merlin rubbed his chin as he looked at Raven, and he said:

"That demon mutant is still a little useful to me, as for what to do with him when I'm done with him... Let me think about it first. Go serve your sentence, Raven, you'd better be honest, this is my last warning to you. ”

Seeing Raven being escorted to the underground of the Lonely Island Prison, Merlin wasted no time and returned to his home in New York with a long-distance shapeshifting charm.

The mana reserves brought by entering the half-demon stage have increased much compared to the previous human form, so this ultra-long-distance movement will not bring too much pressure to Merlin.

Unfortunately, he wasn't happy about it.

"Bang"

With a heavy fear of an uncertain future, Merlin pushed the door open, and the next moment he saw a mess of living rooms, full of broken furniture.

In the center of the living room, which looks like a post-war ruin, little Raven suspended in the air is confronting a girl standing on the ground with long green hair flying endlessly.

One holds a weak magic in his hand, and the other is not very skilled at manipulating magnetism.

The two girls were so-for-tat, and Daisy, who was wearing a denim suit, was hiding in a corner on the side, trying to record this wonderful scene with her mobile phone.

I don't know why they got into the fight, and... What the hell is Elsa doing? Does she care?

Merlin looked at the scene before him, and the exhaustion in his body and mind became heavier and heavier, and he said:

"Don't fight anymore..."

"And, who can tell me what the hell is going on?"
