Chapter 21: Behind the Scenes
Stryker was rescued, and was he rescued by the magician?
The development of events has completely exceeded Lin Qi's expectations, and the magician suddenly appears to save Stryker, just as he suddenly appeared last night to save Lin Qi.
The contradiction of mutants, why do magicians appear? Is this the plot of that timeline? Or is it something that hides the plot? Lin Qi didn't know.
But Lin Qi knew that what he was facing now was far from the original story. I am not in a Marvel Universe movie at all, but a new story set in the Marvel world!
"Did they strike again?" At this time, Professor X suddenly whispered. The meaning in his words is obvious, it seems that he has met magicians before, and he has also seen magicians make moves.
Lin Qi looked at Professor X strangely, and he couldn't help but ask, "Has Professor ever encountered such a thing before?" Do you know them? ”
Magneto on the side also sighed softly, and also said, "Charles, when was the last time we fought with them?" They still don't seem to let the mutants go. ”
Magneto obviously knew something, and from his words, Lin Qi heard a sense of helplessness. Could it be that something happened between a mutant and a mage that he didn't know about?
At this time, Professor X glanced at Lin Qi meaningfully and said, "We don't know their identities either, we only know that they call themselves magicians, and they are a group of humans with extraordinary powers. ”
"The feud between mutants and mages has a long history, even going back thousands of years." Magneto continued, "Kid, there are some things that you don't need to know right now. ”
Lin Qi originally wanted to figure out the relationship between mutants and magicians, but Magneto's words blocked Lin Qi's mouth and made him stop asking.
"What do I mean I don't need to know? I know so much more than you do! Lin Qi pursed his lips and complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, Professor X came to Lin Qi in a wheelchair and asked, "Why are you here?" Isn't it supposed to be at school? ”
It turns out that Professor X doesn't know anything, he doesn't know about the invasion of X Academy after he was attacked by Stryker.
Lin Qi tells Stryker about the invasion of X Academy, and the students escaped by narrowly, and recounts the tracking of the dam base. Professor X was terrified to hear this, he didn't expect his students to be captured by Stryker and the teachers at the school to be taken away by Stryker.
"It's horrible, Stryker must have been planning it for a long time." Professor X sighed, and then he stared at Lin Qi seriously and said, "Lin Qi, it's good that you are here, otherwise the mutants on the earth will definitely be killed by me." You saved the mutant race. ”
"Hmph," Magneto snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for you, Stryker wouldn't have had a chance to carry out his plan." Charles, you were really careless. ”
This sentence may sound like a reproach, but it actually contains concern.
Magneto and Professor X are old rivals and old friends. The X-Men they formed together when they were young only eventually parted ways because of their different philosophies.
Professor X accepted this concern from an old friend, and then said to Magneto, "Aren't you also locked up in a plastic prison by him?" We are each other. ”
Two of the most powerful mutants, both imprisoned by an ordinary person, and still the same person. Lin Qi thought it was incredible.
"Is this kid a student at your school?" At this time, Magneto asked Professor X, he had just been taken aback by Lin Qi's ability, he had not seen a mutant who could suppress the abilities of other mutants.
Professor X nodded and replied, "That's right, he's a student at my school, and his name is Lin Qi." ”
Magneto can be said to know everything about X Academy, and he knows exactly what kind of abilities there are those masters in it.
However, he had no impression of Lin Qi at all.
"Looks like a lot has happened in the time I've been locked in, Charles." Magneto glanced at Lin Qi deeply, turned to Professor X and said.
Lin Qi is now thinking about another question, if there is a grudge between mutants and magicians for thousands of years, then why would magicians save themselves?
Is there anything in yourself that deserves the attention of a magician?
"Lin Qi, you look confused, can you tell me what you are confused about?" Professor X noticed the changes in Lin Qi's heart, and even if he couldn't read Lin Qi's heart, he could still do this kind of thing.
Lin Qi was a little hesitant now, thinking about whether to tell Professor X about last night's incident.
After a few moments, Lin Qi made a decision. He said, "Professor, what I want to tell you is that I was saved by the magician last night. ”
Magneto's eyes widened suddenly, a little incredulous.
Will a mage save mutants? How is this possible?
But Professor X was indeed calm when he heard this, and he thought for a while before saying, "Lin Qi, how much do you know about your own origins?" ”
Where do you come from? To be honest, Lin Qi, as a traverser, really didn't know where he came from, he didn't know anything about his background in this world, the only thing he knew was that he was from New York.
Lin Qi shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know my origin very well. I grew up without parents and have been wandering around New York. Until you find me and let Stormgirl take me back to school. ”
"Wrong." Professor X stared at Lin Qi and said, "You should know that my abilities will be weakened when I meet you, so it is impossible for me to find you, and it is impossible for me to send Monroe to you." ”
Didn't Professor X find out?
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Lin Qi's forehead, is there anything he doesn't know about his life experience?
Professor X pushed his wheelchair to Lin Qi's side, and his physical strength had recovered a lot from the conversation just now. He said, "Actually, it was the same kind of people who found you, and I rescued Stryker today. ”
"Magician?"
"Yes."
"How is this possible?" Lin Qi shouted, how could he have something to do with the magician? Do you have another background in the Marvel world?
When Magneto heard Professor X's words, Zou frowned and looked at Lin Qi, and then he said, "This kid can't be a spy sent by a magician, right?" Charles, have you done a good job of researching his background? ”
A magician's spy among mutants?
No, no, no! Lin Qi himself didn't know if he was a magician's spy or not, but he instinctively resisted Magneto's words.
