23. The conspiracy of the ghosts to gather and disperse

"Here, here and here... Re-check!"

Congressman Kelly, dressed in a stern suit and meticulously groomed, indifferently inspected the venue of the upcoming meeting of world leaders, this time in a square near the Statue of Liberty, which put a lot of pressure on security.

Those politicians have in their heads, and they never think about these practical things.

"Make sure there are no dangerous factors!"

"I don't think I need to remind you of the importance of this meeting, but I want to say that if there is even the slightest problem, you ... Everyone here is ready to spend the rest of your life in the Middle East. ”

This kind of substantial threat sounds uncomfortable, but everyone has to admit that Mr. Senator is right, the leaders of more than 180 countries will discuss world security here, and this is simply a matter of national dignity, and if there is a real accident, someone will always stand up and take the blame.

So they trembled and brought in more police officers to check everything around them over and over again.

Councillor Kelly stood on the edge of the room, and like a serious bishop with deep emotions, he stretched out his left hand, looked at the time, and then said to those behind him,

"Did the Statue of Liberty check it over there?"

The police chief wiped the cold sweat from his face, "Well, it's been checked, three times! ”

The councillor nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, this afternoon I will let the elite troops directly under the Ministry of Defense be stationed there, leave the necessary equipment, and you can evacuate at noon." ”

Hearing this, the director couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he whispered,

"Okay, Your Excellency, I'll arrange it. ”

The councillor had a busy day, and he didn't have much time to waste in this room, and a few minutes later, a bulletproof car stopped in front of him, and Congressman Kelly pulled the car door and said to the driver,

"Four Seasons... I'm going to visit some of my colleagues who have already arrived. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

A few minutes later, in the hallway of the Four Seasons Hotel, Councillor Kelly looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no stalker or camera surveillance, he reached out and rang the doorbell.

"Bell"

The councillor's face was still that serious aura, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a strange smile, and a moment later, the door was opened, and a funny face was greeted by a mutant toad with special goggles tilting his head to look at the councillor outside the door, and he said suspiciously,

"Who are you? Are you in the wrong place?"

"Get out of the way, I'll look for Eric!"

When the toad heard the name, he immediately became alert, and he subconsciously reached out to restrain the guy, but 2 seconds later, the toad's body flew upside down towards the house, and Councillor Kelly, who moved his body, reached out and straightened his tie, strode into the room, and then saw Eric sitting by the window, seemingly enjoying the scenery outside the window, Magneto.

At this time, he seemed unusually quiet, the dark red strange helmet was placed on the table on the side, he was gray-haired, he looked like an old man who was about to die, ordinary people would subconsciously give him a seat when you met him in the car, but those eyes, sharp, firm, and stubborn, were memorable.

One look at it and you'll never forget it.

"You damn it!"

The toad jumped up from the ground and lay on the roof, about to attack, when Eric waved his hand, and the metal lampshade flew out, quickly twisting into the shape of an iron chain, and fixed the toad to the ceiling.

"Quiet! you're making me enjoy the scenery!"

Eric said this, and the toad immediately covered his mouth, and after Magneto rescued him from that damn circus, he swore that he would follow in the footsteps of the great Magneto for the rest of his life, and for a loyal person like Toad, Magneto's orders were undoubtedly the highest standard.

"You're really relaxed..."

Councillor Kelly lay on the bed casually, not having the same serious feeling as before, he took off the black-rimmed glasses on his face, put them in his hand and played with them, and said playfully, "If the news I got is correct, the Salvador Angel and the Plaice have been captured and are now locked up in Xavier's Talent Academy, what's the matter?

Eric stretched out his hand, and the ceramic teacup heated in the kitchen was like magic, moving smoothly in the air, and finally fell into his hand, at this moment, Eric's figure sitting on the chair swayed, this is the visual dislocation caused by the rapid change of the magnetic field, Magneto... Steel was the lowest thing to him.

If he wants, he can twist the magnetic poles of the entire planet.

"I don't need to save them..."

Eric took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes, and said pleasantly, "You're going to help me get rid of them, aren't you?"

"Cut, it's not fun at all!"

Councilor Kelly's voice suddenly became delicate, and his body changed rapidly, eventually becoming the graceful body covered in blue scales, the Witch... Raven.

The enchantress stood up and gently wrapped her arms around Eric's neck, like a lover, and Eric also reached out and patted her arm,

"Charles will be coming, right?"

"It's not just Charles... As long as you start your plan, the whole world will be a mess, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. rats will be on the field, and there will be those stupid superheroes who are active everywhere, and it will be terrible, Eric, and this will be terrible, and this will be dangerous..."

A smile suddenly appeared on Raven's face,

"But that's it, it's interesting, watching Charles being forced into our camp, seeing the two of you join forces against the world again, I think about it makes my whole body tremble, that's what you want to do, right?"

She stuck out her tongue and licked it lightly on Eric's earlobe, "You've never ignored his powers, have you?"

"Of course. ”

There was also a flash of memory in Eric's eyes, "Charles has a talent that makes me jealous, his abilities are completely born for the utopia of mutants, but he is pedantic to believe the words of those stupid humans, he has been deceived! As friends, we have a responsibility to get him back on the right path, no matter how many times he goes against us, he is always our friend, always the person we care about the most... Oh, Charles, that's our loved ones. ”

"Those kids... Is Charles really unambitious?"

Eric let out a low laugh, "No, no, no, our loved ones are very ambitious, and I'm curious to see what choices he will make when he sees those children being killed by sinful bullets... I'm so curious, really..."

"I would like to remind you of one person, Eric, who is too high-minded and you will always overlook some uncertainties. ”

Raven let go of Eric, she turned to sit on the window edge, crossed her legs, she looked at Eric's gentle gaze,

"Cyber... Seber Hawke, the guy who killed the torrent and did a stealing thing right under our noses, a spoiler, I can feel that he's going to be a real big problem, he's not like Charles, who is so innocent and cute, Eric, he's a ruthless guy. ”

"Him?"

Eric shook his head, looking a little lazy in the sunlight cast by the window, like a peaceful old man enjoying the afternoon sun, and he whispered,

"He's not going to be troublesome, in a mutant society, power is everything, he... Not worth mentioning! Asazzo will take care of him. ”

"I hate the name!"

Raven's eyes became dangerous, and Erik's finger rested on her face, flicking slightly,

"I hate it too... We're going to make him pay for what he did to you, a careerist hidden in our group, poor bastard... Don't worry, my Raven, he'll be punished when he gets the most out of his life, I swear!"

"By the way, that girl... That girl, she has to send it over as soon as possible, she's the key to it all!"

On the other side, at the Statue of Liberty in the afternoon, the most famous attraction in New York, a group of soldiers with loaded guns, black combat uniforms and full helmets jumped out of their trucks and walked into the building under the guidance of a major.

When it was all over, and it was already dark in the night, the serious-looking major walked alone to the highest tower of the statue of the goddess, where there was a warehouse that should have been empty, and he opened it, only to be filled with a large silver-white pile of complex parts and mechanical items.

A dark red figure leaned against the pile of parts and smoked silently, he turned his head to see the white major, and he nodded at him,

"Let's start assembling it, it's going to be a really big job. ”

The major nodded, his body shook slightly, and after a while, more than 20 figures were separated from his body, each of them was exactly the same as him, and they began to busily assemble the special machine in front of them, each of the clones he separated had the entity and power of an ordinary person, and under the busyness of more than 20 people, this complex instrument quickly took shape.

And his body stood in place, watching the progress of all this, he couldn't help but ask,

"Asazzo, this... What is this for?"

"It's a special magnetic pole amp, my James. ”

Asazzo leaned to the side, his red tail flicking in the air, and looking at the confusion on James McCros's face, he explained again, "This thing is not used to change the magnetic poles of the earth, when it is activated, it will release a large amount of magnetic force with special radiation, and it has only one effect, activating the sleeping X gene in the bodies of ordinary people..."

A sneer appeared at the corner of the Red Devil's mouth,

"Permanent activation! Sounds great, right, but frankly, this thing seems to me to be a piece of waste, its activation comes at a cost, only those who can manipulate the magnetic force can withstand its terrible pressure, and most importantly, once this thing is turned on, it's hard to stop until the last bit of energy is drained from the user's body and drained of them... Let them die. ”

"Magnetism?"

James jerked his head back, and he looked at the Red Devil, "Magneto is going to use it, and he's going to kill himself?"

"No, no, no!"

The sneer on the corner of Asazzo's mouth turned into a naked mockery, "How could the great Magneto give up his precious life? What a mockery, isn't it? He says he'll treat all mutants like brothers and sisters, but in reality, when the real sacrifice comes, he'll subconsciously choose someone else to bear the pathetic stuff. ”

"Who is the real hypocrite?"

Asazzo threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, "But even so, I have to admit that he is a real genius, this thing will change the world completely! It will open the door to a new era, in a way that will make everyone panic, this rough way, I love it... Let's do it, James, our time is coming!"

He looked at the large, silvery-white instrument that was gradually assembled, and he spread out his hands as if to embrace something, and he whispered in a twisted, hoarse, and in any way strange voice,

"Let's start tomorrow!"
