Chapter 543: The Last Five Years
New York, the former site of the CIA's scientific research base, is now the Youth Special Training Institute.
Nestled within the iron gates and balustrades of roses and vines is a verdant lawn with fountains and a classical Western school building. It's just that although it's the summer vacation at the moment, it's still too lonely as a school, and you can't see half a figure.
The main entrance of the school building was closed, and the dead leaves covered the steps, as if it had been abandoned for a long time, and no one had come to visit or disturb it.
And today is the exception. Two people and a cat, teleported into the courtyard with the flames.
"Asarzo, how long have we been out of school?" The blonde boy at the head raised his eyes, looked at the teaching building and asked softly.
The red-faced middle-aged man with a Garfield on his shoulder thought for a moment and quickly responded, "Young Master, you haven't been here for five years and a month. ”
"It's been five years so soon. It's still the same here as it used to be, but it's just that things are different from people...... Let's go, go in and have a look. ”
Caesar walked straight to the closed main entrance of the school building, followed by Azazzo, Garfield on his shoulder, looking at the academy he had arrived, his cat face showing a slightly surprised look.
Originally.
After defeating the Hellfire Club's conspiracy, the X Mutant Squad parted ways with Magneto Raven and others, Charles decided to build a Mutant Academy, and Caesar and the others stayed except for Logan.
So even in the future, Logan doesn't know what happened later, so that Caesar and the two chose to leave the academy, and the mutant academy was deserted and deserted like this.
Caesar came to a stop at the door and winked. Azazo nodded knowingly, knocked on the wooden door before leaving, and was silent for a long time before a response finally came from inside, "Who?" ”
"I'm looking for a professor." Azazzo continued to knock on the wooden door.
"Don't come, there's no professor here!"
The wooden door opened a crack, and the young man who opened the door spoke impatiently, but when he saw Azazzo and Caesar outside the door, he choked on the unfinished words and kept his mouth open.
"It's you, Teacher Caesar, Teacher Azazo!"
The young man's eyes widened in surprise, he wore glasses, had short clean and sunny hair, and was dressed like Sven, wasn't it the research scholar Beast Hank.
"What, you're not welcome?"
Caesar smiled at the corner of his mouth, and Hank hurriedly opened the wooden door, raised his hand and invited them into the house, "How dare you!" Charles said that this will always be your home, your room is still empty, and I clean it every day. ”
"Charles." Caesar narrowed his eyes and said abruptly, "Is he still like that?" ”
"Hey, I don't know what to say."
Hank smiled bitterly and shouted upstairs, "Charles! Professor Charles, hurry down! ”
"What's the noise, and, don't call me a professor......"
Obedient shouts, a drunken man with a cloak and the smell of alcohol, holding an open beer in his hand, kicking his slippers, staggering down the spiral staircase.
"Professor." Azazo looked at the visitor and sighed softly, is this still the young professor in his prime?
Logan was even more stunned, he hadn't seen Charles when he was young, but even if he was paralyzed at the time, he was a hundred times better than the current appearance.
"You are ......" Charles's eyes were misty, he held the escalator with one hand, looked blankly at Asazo and the others, and poured another sip of wine.
Caesar on the side looked at him calmly and said loudly, "Charles." ”
Charles shuddered, suddenly woke up, looked at Caesar in a daze, and the wine bottle in his hand smashed to the ground with a "snap".
"Caesar, you're back."
"Yes."
Caesar nodded and smiled, "Five years ago." It's only been a semester since the college started, and since the Vietnam War began, many teachers and students were forcibly drafted, and you were decadent because of it. At that time, you told me that you no longer needed the ability to mutate, so even if you lost your telepathy, you would have to use drugs to forcibly heal your feet. ”
"In fact, it is."
Charles lifted one of his feet and forced a smile: "You see that not only have my feet healed, but I don't have to listen to so many annoying voices, and I can finally live a good ordinary life." ”
"Do you really think so?"
Caesar looked at him, "I once said that only one man had a chance to chase me and touch my realm. That person isn't Eric, it's you with unlimited telepathic abilities!"
"It's too late to say anything." Charles craned his neck, the glimmer of the window falling on his bearded face, "I've lost enough, Raven, student, and feet......"
"Maybe there's something to be lost."
Caesar reached back and pointed to Garfield, who was crouching on Asazzo's shoulder, "Its presence is proof of that." ”
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Logan. Logan was also very face-saving and called out a "meow".
Ten minutes later.
In the living room on the second floor of the college's teaching building, Caesar and others sat on the sofa and gathered around for a day, and Hank served hot decanting tea.
Charles looked at Garfield on the table and said incredulously, "You mean." Is this cat from the future fifty years from now, or was it sent by me in my old age to return to the present and reverse the apocalyptic situation of the future? ”
"If you don't believe it, you can read its heart directly." Caesar spread his hands.
"Nope." Charles shook his head decisively, "Although it is difficult to understand, I still choose to believe it, because it is conveyed from your mouth." What's more, I'm incapacitated now......"
"So, Raven will be arrested by government agents and used as an experiment?" Hank couldn't help but ask.
"According to what it says about the future, it is." Asazo replied firmly.
"Raven." Charles clenched his fists, probably the only thing that could make him care now was Raven, who betrayed and left.
"So what should I do? Caesar, if you make a move......"
"I'm sorry."
Caesar understood what Charles meant, and smiled, "I'll still stand by and watch." ”
If he could, he wouldn't even want to interfere with everything in the world.
"This gives me a headache." Charles held his head in his hands, and then he saw Garfield, reaching out his paws and slapping the table.
"It's ...... Morse Code? Hank quickly looked at the strange look, couldn't hide his surprise, and translated, "I need to find a helper, the man who can control the magnetic field." ”
Charles rubbed his temples and said, "It's Erik, but unfortunately, I can't work with him again." Besides, that guy is now being held in the underground prison of the most heavily defended five-star building in the United States. Unless Azazo uses the ability ......"
Asazo hurriedly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "If the young master doesn't let me make a move, I don't dare to move." ”
"You two teachers are just here to see the fun? It's the end of the world! Although only in the future. Hank was speechless.
Caesar scratched his head and said, "At least the current situation, you are not out of control. On this basis, Azazo and I will not make a move. ”
Then.
Logan continued to slap the table and convey his opinion:
"I know someone who can break through anywhere."
