535 Frank Custer

"What power?" Obviously, not everyone is aware of Jean Grey's situation.
Professor X muttered, "From a very young age, Jean had an indescribable power lurking in her body, which brought her misfortune. Luckily, I found her and helped her block the power temporarily. ”
"I had been worried that this power would get out of control, but I didn't expect it to disappear now, as if it never existed."
"Why?" Wolverine asked.
Professor X shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe it's because of the people who saved her. ”
He didn't know what was going on with Jean, but it was good news. He no longer had to worry about the power lurking in the piano's body going violent, it would definitely be a disaster.
After a while, Professor X said, "You don't have to worry, the piano is fine, and you should be able to wake up tomorrow." ”
"Great."
Knowing that Jean Grey was unharmed, everyone left the room one after another.
Professor X and Magneto walked down the aisle to talk, and the latter said, "Charles, you really should know more about Project Sentinel. ”
"I know. But that was a plan that had been banned for a long time, and although someone in the middle was secretly carrying it out, after the matter was exposed, the people who continued to study it were already in prison, weren't they? Professor X said.
Magneto took a deep breath: "You don't know, you don't know how far this plan has advanced in secret research. ”
"Even though those people are in prison, they are still alive and well, and the materials of the Sentinel Project have not been destroyed, but at least three copies have been kept intact." After a pause, he continued, "The Sentinel Project is now a time bomb that has been temporarily frozen. ”
"As long as someone continues to work on it, it can be done in a few years at most."
"Once the Sentinel Project is complete, there will be no way for mutants to live."
Professor X was silent, "Even if the Sentinel Project is restarted, we can stop it. ”
"We can't stop it." Magneto shook his head, "If Jean still has that power, he might be able to do it, but it's impossible now." The only way we can do it is to act ahead. ”
"What are you going to do?" Professor X asked.
Magneto said without hesitation: "Find and destroy all the materials of the Sentinel Project, get rid of all the human scientists involved, and also those suspected of being involved, such as Tony Stark." ”
"Nope." Professor X flatly refused, "It's okay to destroy the data, but it's absolutely not okay to kill people, and you even want to get rid of the scientists who are suspected of being involved, which is ridiculous." ”
"Tony Stark, you also want to get rid of him, don't you know what the consequences of his identity will be? Have you forgotten the god's warning? ”
Magneto insisted, "But if you don't get rid of the people involved in the project, what's the use of just destroying the data?" ”
The atmosphere was quiet for half a second, and he continued: "Charles, survival is a blessing, there is never a choice to have the best of both worlds. If doing so would lead to his sanctions, I am willing to bear it alone. ”
Professor X looked at him: "There is no consequence in the world that people can bear alone, and all disasters will definitely affect others. Mutants are also social beings. ”
……
"Ahem! Ahem - ahem! ”
Thanos covered his mouth and coughed violently, a hoarse sound like air exhausting from his throat.
After a while, he finally stopped coughing, but when he raised his hand, he saw that his palm was stained with blood, muddy and dull, like a sign of death.
"Why...... How could this be......" Looking at the cloudy blood stains in his palm, Thanos muttered to himself.
He couldn't believe he was sick, but it was what it was.
As a powerful Protoss, he was actually sick, and it seemed that he was still terminally ill.
After the Battle of the Templar Ships, his physical condition began to deteriorate day by day, as if some kind of force was constantly eating away at his body, making him weak and miserable.
At first, it was just mild symptoms such as fatigue and insomnia, and then sweating, dizziness, then coughing and vomiting......
He now coughs frequently every day, and even wakes up with a cough while sleeping, coughing up blood all the time.
For the first time, Thanos grasped the taste of illness, and this slow erosion made him feel pain and despair, the disease was steadily eating away at his life, and he seemed to be unable to do anything.
"Ahhh He roared angrily to the sky, as if he was questioning fate, but the illness made him lose his prestige in the blink of an eye, "Ahem! ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Thanos lay on the ground, coughing incessantly.
……
Central Park, New York.
In the secluded woodland, laughter and laughter sometimes sounded here, and Frank Custer, his wife and children, and a family of four were picnicking here.
"Dad, did you really kill dozens of terrorists in Afghanistan alone?" The young son asked.
"Of course." Frank said with a smile.
The son's eyes lit up and he said, "How did you do that?" I will be like you in the future. ”
Frank touched his head: "The battlefield is dangerous, my child, I hope that in the future you can become a lawyer, use the law to defeat the enemy, and get justice." ”
"Lawyer?" At this time, the wife expressed her dissatisfaction, "Frank, haven't we already agreed that he will be an engineer in the future, not a lawyer, and a lawyer is the worst profession in the world." ”
The son couldn't help but wonder, "Why is being a lawyer one of the worst professions?" ”
The wife emphasized: "There is no one, the lawyer is the worst profession, there is no worse profession than the lawyer...... So, don't listen to your dad. I'm going to be an engineer in the future, you know? ”
The daughter asked, "Mom, what is an engineer?" ”
"Bill Gates, Tony Stark, Nikola Tesla are engineers."
"I'm going to be an engineer!" Hearing these household names, the two little casters shouted one after another.
As the family was discussing the lawyer and the engineer, a nervous footstep suddenly sounded.
Out of the sensitivity of a professional soldier, Frank Custer couldn't help but look at the sound, and immediately saw a group of men in black gathering not far away.
Judging from the movements, most of these men in black are carrying guns.
"It's a gangster." Frank judged the identities of these people.
"Bruno Costa." His wife, who recognized one of the gang leaders more accurately, said nervously.
"You know him?" Frank asked.
"Yes." The wife nodded, "When I used to help a client in a lawsuit, Bruno Costa was the defendant, this person did all kinds of evil and committed a clear crime, but behind him was Wilson Fisk, so I lost the case in the end." ”
