Chapter 132: Calm the Waves

On the top floor of the church in the lakeside town, Charles was the only one left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhou Yi didn't stay here to continue arguing with him in a senseless way, he left here early with the unconscious Qin Gray. Of course, before leaving, he connected to the college's newsletter and told them where Charles was.

The mutants have suffered a lot because of Professor Charles, and if they don't get any more news of Charles's luck, I'm afraid these psychologically abnormal guys will do a lot of dangerous things. Especially when the president is about to issue a decree.

Fortunately, Charles was finally saved. This is a cause for joy both for humans and mutants. Because the presence of this man is enough to lift an imminent war. No one doubts Charles's persuasiveness, not even Zhou Yi. As long as he was there, the president would not have signed the order on that bill.

While Charles was still thinking about what Zhou Yi had told him before, the sound of a group of people running came from the stairs. Sensing his familiar mental fluctuations, Charles smiled and looked at the exit of the stairs.

Soon, two familiar figures appeared in front of him. The old buddy he knows best, the old assistant Hank, and the unruly, but sincere Logan.

As soon as these two men saw Professor Charles, they pounced. Hank hugged his old friend tightly, and there was nothing more pleasant for him than to see this old friend safe. And even the rebellious Logan only barely suppressed the excitement in his heart. He couldn't hug Charles like Hank, but that didn't stop him from rejoicing in his heart.

Charles treated others in the most benign way throughout his life, and naturally he was treated with the kindness of all his fellow citizens. In terms of the way he behaved, he didn't do anything wrong, but in terms of being a leader, it was not enough.

"Old man, how did you get out safely. Oh my God, we all thought you were ......." Hank hugged Charles, his hideous beastly face full of surprise and joy. He didn't say the rest of the words, but Charles understood what he meant.

They prepared for the worst, but luckily it didn't happen.

"Thanks to our friend, we are lucky to have his help!" Charles didn't say who it was, but they both understood that he was talking about the Knight of the Dawn. He is the only one who has the ability to rescue him in such a situation.

As one of the insiders who entered the final battlefield, Logan naturally knew how dangerous the situation was at that time. So much so that he still has lingering palpitations. So when he heard Charles's answer, he hurriedly asked.

"Professor, what about that guy, and Jean? Why aren't the two of them here? ”

"Mr. Zhou Yi seems to have something to do, and he has already gone back early." The smile on Charles's face didn't change, but he had to start weaving lies. "As for Jean, I'm sorry. She seems to have left alone, and she has rejected my psychic communication. ”

As a former and a master of the heart, he naturally understands Logan and Scott's feelings for the piano. But at this time, this relationship has become a ticking time bomb. He had clearly felt Qin's fiery feelings for Zhou Yi, so he also understood that these two people were destined to become losers.

But they don't necessarily have that intuition. Scott, in particular, knew too well about this proud protégé. Paranoia is his greatest weakness, especially emotional paranoia. When he knows what Jean Grey is doing, he will probably do something that Charles doesn't want to see.

The mutants were already in danger at this point, and they really couldn't add a single terrifying figure to the list of enemies. Especially if the reason is still because of a relationship that is destined to be fruitless. Therefore, even if Charles is unwilling, he chooses to use lies to prevaricate the issue. Because, this is already his best choice.

Logan was keenly aware that there must be something hidden in it, but he wisely did not delve into it. Since their safety was fine, he was relieved. As for the rest, he was no longer asking for anything. At this point, Charles really has only Scott to worry about.

"Logan, Professor needs to rest now. Let's go back and talk about their problems first. Hank didn't want to be entangled in Jean Grey's body anymore, and he had a natural fear of Jean Grey, who had awakened the Dark Phoenix personality.

He could feel the horror of the Dark Phoenix, and he had an extremely ominous premonition about this Dark Phoenix, which possessed terrifying power. This premonition came from her madness and tyranny, but also from his own inner speculation and fear. Anyway, he didn't want this person back.

Charles sensed his fear, so he quietly connected to his mind as Hank pushed him forward.

"You seem upset, Hank? Is it because of the piano? ”

"Professor, you should already know. The personality in her heart had awakened. To be honest, that personality unnerved me, she was so powerful, so powerful that she couldn't even control herself. And I can see that the personality didn't even think about controlling it! ”

"Isn't that going to be too much of your heart, Hank. She's one of us, after all. ”

"Jean is one of us, yes, but is that personality really with us? I don't feel any affection between her and us. ”

Hank's heart resounded with the professor's soft sigh, and then there were no more words. And Hank didn't continue to say anything, for him, the situation in front of him was already the best. That terrifying dark phoenix is not there, so naturally it will not hurt everyone in the academy. As for the rest, he didn't care.

The mutants began to silently lick their wounds, and for them, it was a huge loss in this war. But again, they have reaped huge rewards. The most important point is that a large number of mutants who were once captured by Stryker joined Magneto and Charles after gaining their freedom.

For the powerful Magneto, this may not be much. But for Charles, it's very important. Because of the addition of this group of compatriots, he has not only become stronger. It also means that his moderate views are becoming more and more accepted by his fellow citizens. In any case, this is a good start.

On the other hand, Zhou Yi also tried his best to take care of the piano beside him. Mentally traumatized in the eye, Jean Grey fell into a long coma, and Zhou Yi didn't even know when she would wake up. Because this is not an ordinary trauma, but the annihilation of the personality and will. If it weren't for Jean's two personalities, she would have almost been declared dead.

Even so, her current situation is very critical. Moreover, Zhou Yi was helpless about how to treat her. The spirit is a magical thing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to explore its depth, let alone treat her. Therefore, what Zhou Yi did was actually just waiting.

He placed Jean in a life support pod in a secret laboratory, relying on cutting-edge technology to keep her healthy, and began to spend more time with her. He hoped it would help her wake up, and that was all he could do.

As for the rest, she can only rely on her own efforts.

Current events have changed, and the Knights of Dawn and the mutants have died down. But for some, their work is just beginning.

The incident of the flooding of Lake Erica has not yet spread in the media, and S.H.I.E.L.D. people have already appeared around the lakeside town. They're here to do the finishing touches.

The leader of the team is still Agent Coulson, who is Director Fury's most capable subordinate, so naturally he deals with the toughest problems, just like Stryker's crazy revenge plan this time.

As the largest spy organization, how could they not know about Stryker's plans. Especially if they also provided Zhou Yi with intelligence, even if he didn't know it, in front of a bunch of outstanding intelligence analysts, his plan would be completely exposed.

However, they did not intervene in this incident. The reason for this is simple, they don't like mutants either. Stryker's plan succeeded, and everyone was happy, the mutants were wiped out of the world, and the neurotic general was killed by the angry Dawn Knight. If they have a quick hand, they can also receive Stryker's legacy. This is the best-case scenario they expected.

If the plan fails, they are still the ones who make the profit. Because not only the Dawn Knights, but even the mutants received their benefits, and they not only provided information, but even dispatched personnel. Even if Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver didn't act on orders. And, again, they can still receive the inheritance.

But there is a saying that reality is often unexpected, and Stryker's defeat was expected by him, but everything that followed was unexpected.

The monstrous flood not only turned everything Stryker left behind into an underwater mystery, but also left them with a huge mess. They had to give an explanation for the appearance of the flood.

Why did the Erica Lake Dam suddenly collapse, why there was no warning before, the spectacle of the mutant battle that a few people saw, etc., all had to be blocked from the information and unified in caliber.

The Security Council ordered that Stryker's research never be exposed, including his damn base. This became the most frustrating thing for Coulson. Because he has to find a way to fill every hole and tell every lie. So far, he has met with quite a few Canadian government officials, as well as many annoying journalists and freelancers. This made him rub his eyebrows until now.

To be honest, it's a lot of work, but it's about to be done.

"Sir, we have completed the unification of information with all departments and the media, and it is now fully announced to the public that the Erica Dam will collapse due to the terrorist attacks of the remaining Nazi groups, and that the appearance of the Dawn Knight is only accidental. I believe that soon this statement will be accepted by the people. ”

I took a sip of bitter coffee and lifted my tired spirits. Coulson took the relevant report from his hand, looked through it, and asked casually.

"Is the analysis of the valley out, and have you gotten any useful information for that person?"

"I'm sorry, sir!" A wry smile appeared on the faces of his subordinates. "The data for that valley is horrible, and we have very limited information."

"It's just a whimsical idea of some people." Patting his subordinates on the shoulder, Coulson persuaded. "Not many people will have hope for this task, relax. That's a real superman, if you can restrain it if you just build a few random models. Won't so many people miss Captain America anymore? ”

"Uh, sir? Who is Captain America? The expression of his subordinates looked very confused. And Coulson is weird.

"You don't even know Captain America, where did you come from?"

"I just got transferred from the Indian branch, sir!"

After a minute of silence, Coulson turned away. Left behind an order that left his subordinates scratching their heads.

"Give you three days to memorize this person's information. Otherwise, you can go to the personnel department and ask for a reassignment. ”

(The cold got worse, and I continued to hang water.) As for whether there is a second watch today, we can only see if I can bear it. Sorry. )
