Chapter 76: Your Courier Has Arrived
The CIA arranged for Charles and them to arrange this base environment is very good, with all kinds of facilities, and there are many recreational facilities.
He knew that he was now in the plot line of X-Men: War 1, and that he did not appear at the beginning of the film, but at the time when Professor Charles began to search for mutants.
What happened next, of course, Ethan knew that the story of the first battle was actually very simple, that is, the two mutant leaders, Magneto and Professor X, would appear one after another, and then deal with a mutant named Sebastian Shaw together.
It's a powerful mutant who can absorb energy and cast out the energy he absorbs, and at the same time, the absorbed energy can also be used by himself, and he uses this ability to maintain his appearance very well, so that he will not get old.
In a sense, this guy is a very difficult mutant to deal with, even if he attacks with his fists, the 'energy' acting on his body will also be absorbed by it, just like opening a defensive buff that can cancel out all attacks, making people a little confused.
If you want to kill this guy, the best way is to stab him directly with a sharp weapon, although he can absorb the power, and he can also absorb the additional power on the blade, but he can't absorb the blade, plus the body is still an ordinary person, he will still die if he stabs to the point.
At most, such an enemy would cause Ethan a little trouble, and it wouldn't threaten him, and he didn't need to take this guy to heart.
What's more, this guy has the two people in front of him to deal with, and it is not Ethan's turn to worry about it at all.
Following the young Magneto and Professor X into the building, Ethan could detect that there were secret whistles in some hidden corners.
"There are quite a few guards here. ”
However, these outposts were too easy to spot, not only could they not hide from Ethan, but even Ada could find all the sentry posts, and in the eyes of the spy, the various defenses of the facility were useless, and she could go in and out of the place at will without anyone noticing if she wanted to.
"This is the CIA industry. ”
"CIA turf?"
Ida didn't think it was strange, but Logan was surprised that Magneto actually worked with the CIA?
The conversation of several people did not deliberately lower their voices, the two people in front of them could hear it, the other party seemed to know their situation very well, if it was really a friend, it was naturally nothing, if it was an enemy, they would agree to follow if they understood it, which means that the other party doesn't care at all, in that case, they may face more trouble than imagined.
Fortunately, the few people behind didn't seem to make any special moves, so they followed the two to a reception room.
Several people found their seats and sat down, and Charles also poured drinks for everyone, including wine, juice and drinks.
"Can you now let me know who you are and what you mean?"
Logan glanced at Ethan, did that mean to ask you or did I say? Ethan thought about it, and decided to explain it himself, because this was his own task.
"I've been entrusted with a special item for you. ”
"Give it to me?"
Charles noticed Ethan staring at him, and after he pointed to himself to make sure he was not mistaken, he wondered who was going to give him something.
"Who's going to send me what?"
He didn't want to accept anything from a stranger, but he wondered if the people in front of him were related to that Sebastian Shaw?
But Ethan's next words left him right there, not knowing how to react.
"It was Charles Xavier who entrusted me with a relic that he wanted me to pass on to you. ”
To be precise, it should be Charles Xavier in a parallel time and space, hoping to give the legacy he left behind to Charles in another time and space, this is not necessarily Charles in front of him, but Ethan feels that this one in front of him is very suitable.
As far as the timeline is concerned, unless Ethan returns to the very beginning of World War I and meets the young Charles, it is impossible to meet Professor Charles, who is 'earlier' than the one in front of him.
The earlier the timeline, the more things can change, and the easier it is to ensure that the world will not go to such an embarrassing and desperate situation like the old Charles.
"Charles?Charles-Xavier?" young Charles felt that his head was a little insufficient, and he wondered if his IQ was not as high as it actually was, why couldn't he understand the man in front of him?
"Do you know about parallel universes?" Seeing Charles nodding, Ethan continued to explain: "I met the elderly Charles Xavier during a plane trip, and his situation ...... Not so good. ”
After a rough description of what happened to him in the Wolverine 3 world, Charles's face on the other side did not look very good.
He didn't know if Ethan was telling the truth or a lie, but it was strange if someone heard this future and his face would get better.
The mutants will slowly increase, and then there will be a contradiction without surprisingly. Then the contradiction between humans and mutants seems to have been eliminated, but the fundamental reason is that under the various means of human beings, mutants are almost dead, and many of them still die at the hands of their crazy self, which is especially unacceptable to Charles, even if Ethan told him that it is another timeline of his self, but is this the future self can also have this symptom?
Eric noticed that Charles's face was not very good-looking, and he tried to stop Ethan from continuing, but Charles stopped him.
"I want to know something more. Charles's eyes were very determined, as if he felt his mission: "And how do you prove that what is said is true." ”
Logan, who had been silent and silent, finally spoke: "You can read my memories. ”
Charles didn't ask Ethan to read the memory, he knew that the man in front of him was very spiritual, and he couldn't be sure if what he had detected was true or false?
What he hoped was that Ethan would be able to come up with some evidence, but he didn't expect the man named Logan to suddenly speak.
"You?"
Charles suddenly realized that the one in front of him was not the one he had seen in the tavern before.
"You're from that world?"
Logan nodded, and then looked at Ethan, he was asking Ethan if he could let Charles read his memory? If it was before, of course he didn't mind letting Charles know, but now the situation is different, he knows a lot of Ethan's secrets, and the young Charles in front of him is not very good at technology, and he can't read what he wants when he checks his memory, and he is likely to know a lot of things that should not be known.
However, Ethan thought about it, his biggest secret was actually his past life experience, such as traveling through different time and space, and it didn't matter if Charles knew about it.
What's more, Charles's character is tough enough, and he won't tell the secret everywhere, so he can be trusted.
Charles looked at Ethan, then at Logan, and finally made up his mind to read Logan's memory, and then he knew everything he needed to know.
Logan knew a lot of things, and Charles tried his best not to get lost in Wolverine's huge memory, but knowing too many things at once still made him a little dizzy, and it took some time to sort these things out, and half an hour had passed before he knew it.
Turning his head to look at Eric next to him, he was looking at him with a worried face, and gave him a smile to indicate that he was okay, before Charles turned his head to look at Logan again.
"Thank you. ”
"Why thank me?"
"Thank you for taking care of me. ”
He knew a lot from Wolverine, and his heart was cold when he saw the desolate appearance of his other self. And in this case, Logan has been taking care of himself, which also proves that their relationship is indeed good.
At the same time, he also knew what Ethan had brought to him, which was the essence of his own spiritual power and a lifetime of knowledge and memory, which could be described as the most valuable legacy.
"But...... Can I really accept something so important?"
Ethan knew that Charles had understood the situation, so he took out the box containing Charles's mental power and put it in front of Charles.
"For now, you're the best fit. ”
The timeline is early enough, and the ability is mature, and Charles in front of him is indeed the best choice.
In fact, even if he goes back to the earlier past, when he meets Charles as a child, Ethan will not give this thing to a child, which can easily cause a disaster, instead of creating a world where mutants can live normally, as Charles originally hoped.
Eric was still confused at this time and didn't understand what the situation was, but fortunately, Charles explained the situation in detail, and even transmitted some of the situation to Eric through a spiritual link, and finally let the young Magneto understand the situation.
Eric is a little confused about the cruelty of the future, the current Magneto is still very immature, and his heart is filled with the flames of revenge, and the distance from the future mutant leader is much farther than Charles's future self.
The atmosphere became a little gloomy, Ethan looked at the two people who were in a depressed mood, and could only knock on the box at hand: "I came here to help you change this terrible future, you now have enough time to solve all kinds of troubles that arise in the future, which is much better than being unprepared." ”
"You're right, it's much better. ”
Both Charles and Eric were strong-minded people who recovered quickly.
What's more, Ethan is right, although they are facing a lot of troubles, and may even face the danger of complete extinction, they have enough time to think of a way, which is already good.
"What you have to do now is accept these things, and it will allow you to solve future problems better. ”
