Chapter 55: Apocalypse
Sebastian still refused to give up, he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Charles, believe me, I can help you." As long as you are willing to let me go, I can use social resources to turn the situation around and put you back in power. ”
"It's useless."
Professor Charles shook his head and sighed, "I don't care about status, and I'm not interested in power. For the mutant race, it's already the best situation now.
Not to mention that Eric can voluntarily stay in prison for the sake of the community, what else can I complain about? ”
The other party is not lying, and there is no need to lie. Sebastian realized this and shut his mouth in despair.
Professor Charles slowly pushed the wheelchair out of his office, and two "security personnel" wearing tin helmet armor were already waiting outside the door.
Sebastian Shaw was like a parcel at a courier station, changing hands and handing over, and the whole process was eerily quiet except for the sound of a wheelchair rubbing against the floor.
Without saying a word, the security personnel pushed their wheelchairs towards the end of the corridor.
The fence-like tubes embedded in the ceiling were powered by electricity, casting inorganic cold light, and despite the massive thermostatic system in the underground laboratory, Sebastian's teeth chattered involuntarily.
"Wait!"
Sebastian patted the armrest of his wheelchair hard, turned his head, and shouted to Professor X in the distance, "Charles, where are they going to send me?!" ”
"I don't know,"
Professor Charles shook his head and said softly: "It depends on the value you show, if the value is high enough and the attitude of confession is good, you will not be tortured too much."
And based on your history as a researcher, you may be able to become an employee of an experimental base after being reinvented. ”
Personality modification, this word is extremely ironic when it comes out of the mouth of Professor Charles.
As the possessor of powerful psychic abilities, Professor Charles, although he has the ability to psychic and even completely brainwash others into puppets, has always opposed this - he has always declared that the mind is a person's last sacred possession, inviolable.
However, Magneto had a long talk with him before he volunteered to be imprisoned.
After a heated argument between the two, Professor Charles finally made a compromise and no longer interfered with Leon's forbidden experiments on these heinous extremists.
Strong and cowardly, noble and despicable, strong and weak, wise and blind.
This is what Leon said about Professor Charles.
Sebastian had no time to care about why Professor Charles, who had always opposed psychic interference, could ignore the "personality transformation", and he hurriedly shouted, worried about his fate: "I am worthy! Charles, let them stop! ”
Security personnel stopped, and the wheelchair made a sharp grinding sound on the ground.
Sebastian swallowed and said apprehensively, "I am the leader of the Hellfire Club, and the network of connections I have at hand can provide great benefits..."
Security personnel were silent pushing wheelchairs and continuing towards the corridor.
Sebastian shouted, "Wait, I still have intelligence, very important information, information about mutants!" ”
The wheelchair stopped again.
“...”
Sebastian's face was gloomy as he looked at the crude oil painting hanging on the wall at the end of the T-shaped corridor and took a deep breath.
He opened his lips with difficulty,
"And it came to pass, when I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, that I heard one of the four living creatures with a voice like thunder, saying, Come."
Professor Charles's face changed suddenly, but he heard Sebastian continue: "And I looked, and behold, there was a white horse, and the one on the horse had a bow, and a crown was given to him. And he came out, and he was victorious, and he was victorious. ”
“.... And authority was given to him who rode on horseback, that he might take peace from the earth, and that men might kill one another, and a great sword was given to him. ”
“.... and they were given the right to slay a quarter of the earth with the point of a sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, and by wild beasts. ”
“... The stars of heaven fall to the earth like a fig tree shaken by a strong wind, and a pot that is not ripe falls..."
Sebastian reads the scripture in the sixth chapter of the book of Revelation.
It tells the story of the arrival of the apocalypse, and the four knights riding the four horses of white, red, black, and green, bring war, famine, plague, and death to humanity for the final judgment.
His eyes were blank and cloudy, and it took a moment before he slowly regained his clarity, and smiled miserably at Professor Charles: "Apocalypse, it's coming." ”
Professor Charles's face was gloomy, and he took a step forward and asked, "... What do you mean? ”
"For countless years, the Hellfire Alliance has been going back to the roots, trying to find the origin of mutants."
Sebastian took a deep breath and said slowly, "In 1868, after a long period of excavation, a Hellfire-funded expedition finally unearthed a sarcophagus that could be a mutant in the desert of the Goshen region of Egypt.
It is speculated that the sarcophagus contained some of the most ancient Semitic prophets. ”
"The expedition team put the sarcophagus on a ferry, hoping to bring it back to London, the stronghold of the Hellfire Club."
"However, when the ferry approached London, it was found empty on board."
"The frightened people uncovered the sarcophagus, found the Semitic man lying inside, who looked like a living man, and burned him at the stake."
"Then, the Semitic prophet, who was suspected of being an ancient mutant, woke up and began to massacre the people of London who were present."
"When the officers at Scotland Yard arrived, no one was spared, except for young children. Scotland Yard heeded the advice of the Church and loaded the sarcophagus into a wooden boat and sent it into the current. ”
"But the Hellfire Club saw the power of the ancient mutants, and while we secretly searched for the sarcophagus containing the Semitic prophet, we sent out more archaeological teams to try to find the origin of the mutants."
"It wasn't until a few years ago that an archaeological team dug up another coffin not far from the original sarcophagus."
"The coffin depicts Egyptian hieroglyphs, and according to the text, the person in the coffin is described as an extremely powerful Egyptian king, born in the first dynasty of Egypt in 3000 B.C., who ruled all of Upper Egypt with his almost divine power."
"He relied on his belief in an alien god whose name is recorded to be 'Three Palaces'.
In order to consolidate his rule, the Egyptian king would select 4 attendants in each era to serve as bodyguards to maintain his immortality ritual.
Anyone who dared to resist would be slaughtered by the four knights.
The original ancient Semitic mutant was the alien squire that the king of Egypt had chosen for himself during the second intermediate period of Egyptian kingship. ”
Sebastian licked her chapped lips and said slowly,
"The coffin of the Egyptian king was secretly sent to one of our strongholds, awaiting further research."
"If we can decipher the secrets of his body, not only can we gain the same powerful power as the gods, but we can also rely on believing in evil gods to gain eternal life like him."
"This time, we have learned the lesson of the last time, and have prepared countless armed forces around the stronghold, even Omega-level mutants will be crushed into powder under artillery fire."
"However, his power is still beyond our imagination......"
Sebastian lowered his eyes and whispered,
"As soon as he woke up, the king of Egypt easily killed all the armed forces present, leaving four gamma-level mutants alone."
"Surveillance footage shows that the Egyptian king 'transformed' the four mutant humans, causing them to have weird demon tattoos on their bodies."
"They're out of the Hellfire Club's surveillance range, but I know they'll be back, with the wrath of the apocalypse."
Sebastian let out a breath of turbid air and said quietly:
"If it weren't for the threat that this ancient apocalypse might pose, I wouldn't have rushed to the school city to try to co-opt the mutant forces here."
