Chapter 286: Charles's Choice
Charles Xavier, a natural fourth-level mutant with powerful telepathic abilities, can kill more than ninety percent of the world's humans in an instant if he uses a brainwave booster.
This is a humanoid mass killing weapon, even if the brainwave booster has not yet been created at this time, his strength is worthy of the level of a fourth-level mutant.
It's just that to Charles's surprise, as soon as his mental power touched Rorschach's mind, he was blocked back by a tenacious protection.
Charles' expression of surprise was at first, and then his eyes lit up.
As a mutant, Charles has only met Raven for so many years, and now, he has met another.
is also a mutant, which in itself is enough for Charles to feel close.
"Hello Charles, I'm Rorschach. Raven is a very cute girl, but she doesn't drink very well. Rorschach shook Charles' hand vigorously.
"Oh, you've got a lot of strength." Charles said with a frown.
Rorschach didn't speak, just nodded his head.
Charles understood that it was Rorschach's displeasure at reading his mind.
Charles was also a little embarrassed to see a strange Asian talking to his "sister" Raven, and Raven even drank, this unusual situation made Charles couldn't help but spy on Rorschach's thinking.
This is the mind of self-protection as a mutant, after all, the world is discriminatory against aliens.
"I'm sorry, but I hope you understand that I'm just out of caution. Raven, she's very special to me. Charles explained.
Rorschach nodded and said, "It's really special, I really envy you for having such a sister." ”
"If you don't mind, I think we can find a time to have a good chat." Charles said enthusiastically.
It's rare to meet another mutant, and Charles feels like he has a lot to say to the other person.
"If you can provide me with a place to stay, I would be happy to talk to you in detail." Rorschach said.
"You're also homeless?" Charles said in surprise.
"Charles, what do you mean by that?" Raven was not satisfied when she heard it, she was also homeless and was picked up by Charles, doesn't this compare her to Rorschach. This hateful man deceived himself just now!
The little girl's tsundere, Charles and Rorschach will not take it to heart, but Charles was about to promise Rorschach, but heard someone next to him interject: "Professor Xavier, the question I just asked you is very important, so I want you to answer me as soon as possible." ”
After saying this, Mora also glanced at Rorschach with a rather disgruntled expression.
This sudden hostility surprised Rorschach a little, he didn't seem to have offended this woman, did he?
This kind of interjection is very impolite, but the person who spoke seems to be unable to care about so much, coupled with her quite good appearance, most men will choose to be tolerant.
Although Charles is a mutant, he is also a normal man, and he is not too disgusted, he just said to her: "Miss Mora, I have a definite answer to the question of the mutant human you mentioned, but I don't know if you can accept it." ”
Just now, this Miss Mora Maktagut found him.
Charles thought it was his student, but she didn't expect her to come up and ask, "Is the mutant human mentioned in your paper already appearing?" ”
This question startled Charles, who thought to himself that either he was a madman or that she had seen something incredible. But before Charles could read Mora's memory, he discovered Rorschach's existence and hurriedly tried to solve the wild bee butterfly for Raven.
As a result, Mora was left behind by Charles.
And now, Mora got Charles's answer, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Charles: "I want the truth, whatever the truth is, I can accept it." ”
For Mora Mattagart, she failed her last mission because she met mutants, so she had to find evidence to back her up and convince her boss of what she saw.
"If that's the case, then I can tell you that mutant humans do exist." Charles replied in the affirmative.
"Can you come up with evidence? I needed to convince my boss. Mora said excitedly.
"Of course I have the proof, and if you can let me meet with your boss, I am confident that I can convince him." Charles said.
"I can arrange it, but this matter is confidential, Professor Charles, you better not mention it to the idle people." When Mora said this, she glanced at Rorschach, intentionally or unintentionally.
Obviously, this so-called idle person, etc., refers to him.
"I'll pay attention to this." Charles naturally knew who Mora was referring to, so he could only respond awkwardly.
"So, tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, I'll take you to my boss, okay?" Mora continued.
"This ......," Charles hesitated.
Mora must have heard the conversation between himself and Rorschach just now, but he still said it, clearly to let Charles drive Rorschach away.
Rorschach didn't understand where Mora was so hostile to him, but he didn't care. Because he is just a passerby in this era, and he is only interested in Charles and Raven, and he has not yet wronged himself.
Therefore, Rorschach did not mean to quarrel with Mora, but turned around graciously, sat down at the bar again, and said, "Thank you for another glass of whiskey." ”
With that, Rorschach casually threw a gold coin as wine money.
Although he did not have the banknotes of this era in his hand, when he went to the island country not long ago, he had a lot of gold on hand, and there were all kinds of gold products. I don't know if this gold coin is the collection of the rich and high-ranking official, and it is probably an antique, but it makes no difference to Rorschach about the gold that he plops.
The bartender looked at the coin in shock, if it was real gold, it would be enough to buy all the whiskey in the bar for bathing.
And as the bartender carefully examined the coin, Charles seemed determined to say to Mora, "Sorry, I may not be available tomorrow." ”
The meaning of this is clearly to say that the calf rolls, I choose Rorschach.
Charles's attitude not only shocked Mora, but also surprised Rorschach. You know, the beautiful agent of the CIA in front of her is Charles's natal goddess, and she refused like this, didn't she inadvertently change history?
Charles sat down next to Rorschach, asked for a glass of whiskey, and said, "If you have time, do you need me to show you around Oxford?" The scenery here is still good. ”
Rorschach looked at Mora, who was dark, and replied, "Of course I'm free." ”
Although it is not clear why Charles gave up going to the CIA with Mora, Rorschach can also feel Charles's sincerity, and it is naturally impossible to refuse.
Mora looked at the two men and left the bar without saying a word, seemingly completely oblivious to what had just happened.
It wasn't until Mora left that Rorschach was curious and Charles said, "For me a stranger to offend a beautiful woman?" Charles, you're at a loss. ”
"Isn't she a stranger too?" Charles rightfully said to Rorschach.
Only then did Rorschach realize that Charles had also met Mora for the first time, and that he was willing to go to the CIA with Mora solely for the mutants she had seen.
For Charles, the most important thing in the world these days is to find his compatriots.
And compared with the mutants in Mora's memory, Rorschach, a living compatriot, is right in front of him, isn't it still obvious how to choose.
can only blame Mora for putting the choice in Charles's hands, but he doesn't know that he didn't force Charles to choose his own chips at all.
"What kind of dumb riddle are you two gods secretly playing?" Raven said dissatisfied.
"This is not the place to talk in detail, I'll take you back to the dormitory." Charles kept some tips for the wine and left the bar with the two of them.
Charles had a pretty good dormitory in Oxford, big enough for several people to live together.
Charles beckoned Rorschach to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "Rorschach, you're also a mutant, right?" ”
Rorschach didn't react yet, and Raven was shocked and said, "You're a mutant too?!" ”
"That's right, so I don't think you need to continue to disguise, you should be tired of staying in a state of transformation when you're drunk." Rorschach said thoughtfully.
"I'm afraid I'll scare you!" Raven snorted coldly.
"You can try." Rorschach said indifferently.
I saw that the skin on Raven's body wriggled like countless insects, quickly flipped over, and then turned into a tattered zombie.
Rorschach was really stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this girl to become scary like this, and she didn't need makeup at all to go to a haunted house to work part-time.
"How's it going, are you scared?!" Raven said smugly after seeing Rorschach in a daze.
But soon, she saw Rorschach reach out and lift the tattered bloody clothes on her body, and then said in surprise: "Even the clothes can be changed, it's really amazing." ”
"Ahh Pervert! As if Raven had been violated by something, he turned into a yellow-eyed and blue-skinned person with a brush.
It's just that the blue-skinned girl seemed to be frightened, and ran back into the room with her hands on her chest, and slammed the door shut.
The clothes that Rorschach lifted just now were the position of her chest.
"Well, I really didn't mean to." Rorschach said a little helplessly.
Before crossing over, Rorschach had always been curious about the transformation of the Demon Girl, who could even change her clothes. But it was obviously the scales of her skin, how could it be transformed into a texture like clothes, and even the feeling of being able to take it off.
Therefore, Rorschach couldn't help but lift his clothes just now to see, there was really no intention of taking advantage.
Fortunately, Charles didn't pursue this matter, but asked Rorschach curiously: "I can sense that your mental power is very strong, do you also have telepathic ability?" ”
Rorschach nodded and said, "It's one of my abilities." ”
"One of them? Does that mean you have other abilities? Charles said in surprise.
All his life, he lived for mutants, and being able to meet such a special compatriot made Charles feel that his research was about to take a new direction.
"Other abilities, something like this." Rorschach waved his hand, and a cloud of red energy poured out, grabbed a cup, and sent it to Charles's side.
"It's amazing, I never thought mutants could have two different abilities. Tomorrow we will go to the laboratory, I will give you a detailed examination, just take a tube of blood, what do you think? Charles said very seriously.
"Two? No, you're mistaken, I don't have just two abilities. ”
After Rorschach said this, his left hand began to glow red, and his right hand gave birth to a ball of green, which attracted the metal teapot and kneaded it into different shapes.
Charles opened his mouth in shock this time, unable to utter a word.
It took a long time for Charles to come back to his senses and say, "It's okay, we can draw a few more tubes of blood." ”
