Chapter 482: Professor X's sigh
X College, West Chester, New York.
"Drink some water, don't choke."
"Thank you..."
"Kid, my name is Charles, you can call me Professor X, can you tell me about you?"
"My name is Little Naughty, I'm seventeen years old, I live in Mississippi, and I have a bunch of fellow mutants around me. A month ago, I found out that my friends were missing, and it seemed as if all of a sudden they had disappeared from the world, and no one knew where they had gone. After investigating, I found that a group of well-equipped troops were coming and going, and they were capturing us.
I was scared and took my remaining friends, Nicole and Nora, to the police station for help, and I remember very well that a chubby officer met us and led us to an office. My friend Nicole, who is also a mutant, has super hearing abilities. A few minutes later, Nicole suddenly told me that Officer Fat was calling a guy named Stryker and asking Stryker to send someone to arrest us.
We fled in a panic, and for the next month we went out day and night, never daring to take buses, trains, planes, and other means of transportation that required documents. But just like that, we still had nowhere to run, and Nicole and Nora were arrested on the way to escape, and I was gradually left alone.
I didn't know where I was going, I didn't know who I could trust, I just knew that I was running as far as I could, and I made it all the way to Alaska. In Forest City, Alaska, I met a mutant named Wolverine, along with another capture team. During the battle, Wolverine was captured, but those people didn't know me and thought I was a normal person. When I was sorting out Wolverine's stuff, I flipped through this contact number that said X Academy, and you'll know the rest of the story. ”
In the cafeteria of X Academy, a young girl is gobbling up food, and not far from her is a bald old man in a wheelchair.
The old man looked unsightly, but in fact, his name was known to everyone among the mutants.
He is the founder of X Academy, the mutant moderate leader Charles, and the famous Professor X.
"Professor, we haven't heard the name Wolverine, how can he have your business card, could this girl be a conspiracy?" Behind Charles stood two people, a handsome young man in sunglasses and a beautiful woman in a black leather coat.
Hearing the young man's question, Charles shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Scott, remember when we first met?" ”
"In 1987?" A young man named Scott is the captain of the X-Men, Charles's right-hand man, and is nicknamed Cyclops.
Charles nodded slightly, affirming: "Yes, in 1987, Hoover Dam, the experimental base of the X weapon program. You were about the same age as this girl at the time, and you didn't have dark crystal glasses at that time, so you had to cover your eyes with a white cloth to avoid accidental damage to your laser eyes. Do you remember how you escaped? ”
"I couldn't see anything at the time, but I heard from others that there was a rebellion of the test subject, which caused a great chaos, and we escaped, you mean this Wolverine..."
Cyclops didn't say anything, and he understood what was going on.
Charles sighed and nodded: "Wolverine Logan, is the mutant who defected at that time, he once worked for Stryker and made great contributions, and later because of the massacre of civilians, Wolverine parted ways with him until the X weapon program was launched." Wolverine is an important part of the X Weapon Program, and only the super self-healing factor in his body can resist the transformation of the X Weapon Program.
So, he was the first beneficiary of the Edman Metal Project in Project X, and after the success of the experiment, he defected and destroyed the lab to release you. In a sense, he is also your savior, and this business card was given to him by me at the time, but I didn't expect that he had not contacted me for many years. ”
In 1987, the impact of Wolverine's defection could not be explained by the word defection, and the impact was very far-reaching.
Among them, Cyclops, the White Queen, the Lizardmen, and the Toad, the elite who either joined the X-Men or joined the Mutant Brotherhood, were once experimental subjects of the X-Weapon program.
Without Wolverine, the history of the X-Men world would have been rewritten.
After all, Wolverine is the first protagonist of the X-Men series, and many of the main plots are driven by him, and he is connected to almost every character.
"I've been investigating the disappearance of mutants all this time, and at first I thought it was Eric who did it, until more and more clues pointed to the military. Hey, I haven't paid attention to Stryker since the failure of the Weapon X program, and I didn't expect to underestimate him, what a difficult opponent! ”
Charles didn't know that behind all this, there was Wang Xu, a traverser, as the driving force, and thought it was all Stryker's credit.
For Stryker, Charles has dealt with him a lot, if everyone was friends at the beginning, with Jason's awakening and Stryker's wife's suicide, the positions of both sides have become enemies.
To this day, Charles can't figure out why Stryker hates mutants so much, and doesn't he know that his wife's death was just an accident.
If you think about it, Stryker is also in his sixties, and he has hated mutants all his life, but the older he gets, the more crazy he becomes.
"Professor, are we going to the rescue?" Scott asked softly, and it was clear from his clenched hands that Scott, who had been a guinea pig, was very resistant to catching mutants for experiments.
Charles raised his head slightly, as Scott's mentor, he easily saw through this disciple's thoughts.
However, he didn't answer immediately, but looked at the leather-clothed beauty standing on the other side, and said, "Qin, what do you think?" ”
"We're arguing with Congress right now to get Congress to veto the mutant registration bill, and to be hostile to the military at this time would be going to waste our efforts. I suggest that it would be better to contact parliamentarians who are biased towards us, to put pressure on the military, and that it would be better to resolve the issue peacefully and avoid using force as much as possible. ”
Jean Grey is the official spokesperson for the X-Men, and she is well aware that the current situation is not good for mutants, and at this critical juncture, the use of force to rescue the mutants captured by the military will only push the X Academy and the military to the forefront.
Needless to say, the military does not itch if there are more lice, and does not worry about more debts, and does not care about the negative impact at all.
X Academy is different, every sharp confrontation with humans will deepen the gap between humans and mutants.
At present, it is not known that those mutants, the purpose of being captured by the military, will go to save people if they are reckless, and once they cause a chain reaction, they will be in trouble.
"I'm going to Congress tomorrow and meeting with General Stryker to see if I can negotiate a solution. If not, we are talking about rescue by force, after all, the more force is used, the more human beings will fear us, and it will be difficult to turn back after stepping on this road. ”
If the human government is compared to the imperial court, and the mutants are compared to mountain bandits, Charles is the Song River on Shuibo Liang Mountain.
On the one hand, he has the desire to be a mountain bandit, and on the other hand, he doesn't want the relationship with the imperial court to be too stiff, and always looks forward to letting mutants integrate into human society, just like Song Jiang who always looks forward to Zhao'an.
"Recently, Eric's mutant brotherhood is mysterious and secretive, and I don't know what he's plotting, plus Stryker and the military are eyeing each other, it's really stormy!"
Charles looked up at the window, looked at the bright sunshine, and sighed, "Why is it so difficult to bridge the gap between humans and mutants?" ”
