Chapter 20 Magneto and Professor X
It is a military base, and the buildings that appear to be unremarkable on the surface are several times larger than those above ground, and it appears to have been converted from a missile silo.
At this time, in the center of the base where the missiles were originally launched, there was a huge glass room suspended in the air, and within 100 meters of it, there was no metal.
Underneath the glass room, a device similar to a sonic emitter is installed, which can create a special force field, and although it cannot completely suppress Magneto's power, it can still be greatly weakened.
Otherwise, it would be so easy to trap Magneto in such a glass room alone.
And the provider of this device is none other than Magneto's old friend, Professor X.
A passage opened at this point, slowly connecting with the glass room, and Professor X moved his wheelchair to Magneto.
"Eric, I've come to see you."
"You know I'm not welcome here, Charles." Magneto didn't raise his head to play with the chess in his hand, of course, the material was made of glass.
"But I came anyway." Professor X came across from Magneto.
Fiddling with the chess pieces, Magneto suddenly raised his head. "Will you wake up in the middle of the night, worried about the unfair cruelty of the law to you and your children and grandchildren?"
"Absolutely." Professor X glanced at Magneto and nodded.
"So what will you do when you wake up?" Magneto continued to ask.
"I will pity the ignorance, and the ·····." Professor X paused, and glanced at Magneto. "Those who provoke."
"Bang!" Magneto threw away his chess piece and stared at Professor X.
"I don't know what you're doing here?"
"You knowingly ask, I'll show you hope," Professor X said, looking out of the glass room, leaning against the corner of the road in a daze.
"One side, well, he probably is. His abilities are perfect, powerful, and fascinating, even if he hasn't tapped into his potential to this extent, this is a level 5 mutant. Magneto stared at the side of the road, his eyes full of appreciation.
"I think one party should let me teach, and only I can truly achieve it."
"You know it's impossible, because you can only destroy him."
"I ruined him? You're the one who destroyed him. Magneto became excited when he heard this.
"You're just a docile sheep, and you can only teach more sheep, look at Jean Gray, what did you do to turn a level 5 mutant into a little girl who only knew how to play in school, do you want to do it again."
This is where Magneto and Professor X have the most intense conflict, and Professor X wants to build a bridge between mutants and ordinary people. But in Magneto's view, blind communication and friendship will not make mutants gain legal rights, but will suffer more discrimination, at this time, only stand up and resist, only let them feel the pain, feel your strength, they will be patient to communicate with you.
"Jean's abilities are flawed, she can't control her abilities like a party, and she can only bring destruction, not hope." Professor X said with a low growl.
"Charles, we need to show our minions and let those guys know that we are good and never dare to offend us easily." Magneto continued unwillingly.
"So you made the Liberty Island incident, you almost messed everything up, and that's what you want."
"I ······." Faced with Professor X's hit to the point, Magneto was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.
"I have to admit that the machine was a mistake." Tsundere Ru Lao Wan finally relented, and his idea was to let mutants gain legal rights, and even gradually replace humans in turn to complete the leapfrog evolution of human beings.
But if you kill the whole of New York, it will only make the relationship between mutants and ordinary people endless, and the end result will only be the destruction of everything, which is not what the old man wants to see.
"What the hell is going on out there now?" Magneto looked up at Professor X.
"It's not bad, after escaping from Liberty Island, the Shapeshifter disguised herself as Councilor Kelly and spoke out against the mutant registration bill. This, coupled with your aggressive behavior on Liberty Island, has made the government consider the bill more cautiously, and now the bill has been put on hold. Professor X explained.
"Oh, that's arguably the best news I've heard since I entered prison."
"Erik, although I don't like what you do, I have to say that sometimes your approach is quite effective." Professor X hesitated for a moment, then said to Magneto.
"But you sent me to this hellish place, and helped them perfect their methods of imprisoning me." Magneto grasped the chess pieces and looked at Professor X with a playful expression.
"Eric, I can't help it, I need to give them an explanation and let them know that the mutants are just dissatisfied, not want to declare war! They won't kill you easily, because only you can control the mutants of the Brotherhood so that they don't come easily. Professor X explained helplessly.
"Come on, Charles, you don't have to explain, because you and I understand, and I don't blame you." Magneto threw away the chess pieces and said indifferently.
He knew exactly where he and Professor X were, and that there was a need for a red-faced mutant just as much as he needed to be a white-faced.
"Charles, do you think mutants really have a future?" After a moment of silence, Magneto's face suddenly darkened, making him look like a dying old man, not a feared Magneto.
Magneto is a true fighter, he has been fighting for the rights of mutants for more than half a century, but when he comes back to his senses, Magneto also finds that he is still standing still, and has not taken a step closer to his ideals.
And although he didn't know the tragic end of the future about mutants like Lu Yifang, based on his experience accumulated over half a century, he was able to deduce that the future of mutants was not bright.
Wan is still fighting, and he won't stop until he dies, but Wan is really desperate, and this despair even makes him want to send out a real war sometimes, so that mutants and ordinary humans will lose and all play.
"Eric, I don't know if I can see real hope, but I will never give up looking and trying, and I hope you will too." Professor X said as he took control of his wheelchair and walked out of the glass room.
