Chapter 784: Going their Own Way
Ling Xiao once put forward a settling suggestion, that is, it is not unacceptable for mutants to receive antidote injections, but the entire registration process must be anonymous, and the government cannot file and register mutants who receive antidote injections.
However, when Hank McCoy conveyed this request to the U.S. government, it was resolutely rejected by the U.S. government, and they even passed the government's statutory regulations that all mutants who want to receive antidote injections must all be registered and enforced.
Ling Xiao already had a faint worry in his heart, since there was a drug that could suppress the mutant ability, was there another drug that could unravel the suppression of this drug.
Once a mutant has received an antidote injection, a file is registered, and their abilities, age, and home address are all registered.
Incapacitated mutants are like meat on a sticky board, if someone kidnaps them through the materials on the file, and then injects them with another drug, and experiments on them at the same time, will there be a team of mutants completely controlled by the government in a few years?
This is no different from the government's direct experimentation on mutants, except that it is more hidden, more multifaceted, and easier to control.
This kind of concern Ling Xiao only mentioned to Professor Charles, and he didn't say a word to the others, but Hank McCoy's words today made him wonder in his heart, is his attitude really like this, or does he have other intentions?
"But most of us are homeless." The Iceman looked at Hank McCoy in disbelief, swept the others again, shook his head and said, "I can't believe that we gave up so easily, giving up this academy, hundreds of students in the academy?" ”
Ling Xiao was just about to say something, when suddenly his eyes turned to the door, and a young man walked in from the door, looking at the people with some heavy faces, and asked uncertainly: "I know the time is not right, but I heard that this is a shelter for mutants, I don't know if I can ......"
"Absolutely." Ling Xiao nodded directly in agreement, and then said to Storm Girl, Wolverine, and the Beast: "Regarding the issue of Dr. Charles's legacy, we will find someone to handle it, and the academy will not be disbanded, and after that, the academy's operating funds will be fully responsible for the four-dimensional group." ”
Professor Charles's death was too sudden, many things were not prepared, this castle was originally Professor Charles's private property, but it was just used as a mutant academy, and the property rights are still in Professor Charles's name, but now that Professor Charles has died, he has not made it clear that he inherited his estate, so these things will be recovered by the government according to the law.
However, the government here refers to the local government of New York, not the federal government of the United States, so before many people reacted, Ling Xiao immediately arranged for a lawyer to deal with this matter, otherwise it would be troublesome to wait for the federal government to react and forcibly accept it.
Real estate is only one of the reasons, and on the other hand, there is the problem of financial investment, the mutant academy needs a large amount of money every year, Professor Charles has some property in his name, and in addition, Stark Industries and other conglomerates also account for a large part of the funding here.
In addition to Ling Xiao, whether it is Storm Girl, Wolverine or Beast, they don't have much assets themselves, and they are very unable to maintain the various expenses of such a special academy, which is one of the reasons why they have different attitudes before.
"Okay, that's all." The Storm Girl stood beside Ling Xiao, looked at the others and said, "I don't think he wants to see this academy disappear with his death, so we have to keep this academy and continue to open it." ”
The Storm Girl Banner was obviously on Ling Xiao's side, and to be honest, if it was really completely disbanded, she didn't know where to go.
"Okay." Hank McCoy smiled softly, sighed, and said, "You have made a decision, and we will support you, but we must be wary of the risks involved." Now that the government is vigorously promoting the mutant antidote, and we have gathered so many mutants here who are unwilling to inject the antidote, it is inevitable that we will become a thorn in their side, and I don't know when they will take us under the knife. ”
I see, Ling Xiao somewhat understands that Hank McCoy is worried about the safety of students, don't think about how good the U.S. government is, especially the U.S. military, many times they are secretly executed, such as Stryker's team, under the hands of the U.S. military is just the tip of the iceberg, there are countless similar research institutions, I don't know how many mutants have been poisoned.
After the death of Professor Charles, the Mutant Academy has lost its greatest support, and if the U.S. government really wants to do anything, the Mutant Academy will inevitably become a target and become the chicken of the terrifying monkey.
"No, it won't." Ling Xiao shook his head lightly and said, "The U.S. government can't take care of the academy yet, their biggest enemy now is Magneto, and they won't set their sights on us until they win the war with Magneto." And once they lose their war with Magneto, we'll be much safer. But just in case, we should send the younger children away first, so that if there is any accident, we can handle it. ”
"That's it, you can't relax in the academy during this time, to prevent someone from muddying the water." Storm Girl narrowed her eyes slightly, they had already learned a lesson before, and the same thing must not happen a second time in the Mutant Academy.
After Stryker's raid on the Mutant Academy, Professor Charles set up a lot of early warning methods to defend against enemy invasions.
In fact, Professor Charles is the greatest protection of the Mutant Academy, as long as he is there, no one dares to have any delusions about the Mutant Academy, as long as anyone with bad intentions approaches the Mutant Academy, he will immediately be discovered and isolate everything from the Academy.
However, the problem now is that Professor Charles is gone, and it is inevitable that someone will try to do something, and this is the time to be vigilant.
On the first day of tonight, it was Ling Xiao who was in charge of the night's duty, and he sat alone at the top of the ancient castle, and everything inside and outside the entire academy was watched by him.
It's like the iceman and the phantom cat skating on the pool, and the little mischievous guy who stands at the window on the second floor and watches the two people laugh and smile.
The relationship between Little Naughty and Iceman has always been awkward except for the beginning of the period, they can't hold hands, kiss, or even do some indescribable things like ordinary people, even the most basic skin contact can't be done, and after a long time, there will naturally be a lot of contradictions, and even other thoughts.
In the blink of an eye, the little naughty had disappeared from the window, Ling Xiao didn't care, it was normal for little couples to be separated and combined......
"Why are you going!" In the ancient castle behind the academy, Ling Xiao stopped the little naughty who was carrying his luggage and was about to leave, with a solemn face.
The little naughty didn't flinch, raised his head and stared at Ling Xiao and said, "You don't know what it's like to be afraid of your own abilities, afraid of getting close to anyone. ”
"Yes, I don't know." Ling Xiao shook his head lightly and said, "But one should not be afraid of one's own ability, this is not right. ”
"That's not right!" The little mischievous sneered and said disdainfully: "I wish I could touch others, hug, shake hands, and kiss, then I may never be able to do it, and now, a rare opportunity appears in front of me." ”
"If you're doing it for a man, I don't want you to do it." Ling Xiao sighed and said, "You are still young, and you don't know a lot of things. Don't look at ordinary people have a lot of fun, they also have a lot of troubles. What kind of world is this, you should have an understanding, your own ability is your biggest foothold in this world. If you're for a certain man, when you lose your ability, you're no longer in the same world, and you'll never be together again. ”
This world is very realistic, the law of the jungle, mutants and ordinary people are difficult to get together, for a recent example, Professor Charles and Dr. Mora, whether Dr. Mora is an agent of the CIA or a top scientist in the field of gene medicine research, they are extremely good, but between her and Dr. Charles, it has always been difficult to come together, there are many reasons for this, but in the end, one of them is a mutant and the other is an ordinary person.
