Lei Rui followed Professor Charles into the castle.

The exterior of the castle looks dilapidated, eroded by time and wind and rain. However, the inside of the castle is well maintained, with a sense of order in the school and a sense of home.

Professor Charles's office is in the backyard of the castle, a separate area, and you can go directly to the grass behind the castle in a wheelchair.

Demonic Girl, Beast Hank, Cyclops, and Storm Girl are the backbone members of this X Academy, both the main force of the battle and the teachers of the Academy. They also came in at the signal of Professor Charles.

Obviously, Captain Thunder came here at this time, definitely not to make friends with them, but to have something important.

After the battle just now, coupled with the hand that Lei Rui revealed, the magic of Thor's hammer, and Lei Rui's frank good friend Wolverine Logan is also a mutant, he won the favor of everyone present, whether it was Beast Hank and others, or the young X Academy students, they all had a good impression of him.

Lei Rui didn't say anything, but walked around in front of Professor Charles's book collection.

"Professor, you seem to have a lot of experience in the study of the X gene." Lei Rui finally walked over and said.

"I want to figure out the cause of this genetic mutation in humans!" Professor Charles replied, "But the research has not made much progress, and we have not even figured out what the X gene is." ”

Lei Rui replied with a smile, "That's why it's called X-gene, right?" ”

"Yes! I don't even dare to conclude whether or not it is the cause of the genetic mutation. Professor Charles replied, then looking at Lei Rui and asking, "Captain, you are not here for the research of the X gene, are you?" ”

Lei Rui nodded, his face darkened, "I'm here for Captain Rogers' death. ”

The Beast Hank quickly exchanged glances with the others, and Professor Charles said, "I am also very saddened by the death of Captain Rogers. He wanted to settle the dispute between the two sides, but unfortunately ......"

It's a pity that it's against both sides, Captain Rogers' death is the last mediation and effort, and the next thing has become a reality, the army of the US-Canada alliance began to push forward strongly, encircling and suppressing the area where the mutant brotherhood gathered, although Professor Charles and others did not know the detailed progress, but in their opinion, the casualties on both sides must be extremely heavy.

This is a complete tragedy, and even more so a human tragedy.

Lei Rui sighed lightly, knowing what they were thinking, and explained, "The truth is more cruel than you think. The more than 10,000 radical mutants gathered by the Brotherhood have been routed by the army, with heavy casualties. However, the damage caused by the radical mutants to the army is not much, and the casualty ratio is about 10:1. ”

"How is that possible?!" Everyone was in complete disbelief, and the beast Hank screamed, his eyes wide.

The results of this battle have not yet been announced to the public by the US-Canada alliance, and Lei Rui only learned about these top-secret military information through special channels. This ten-to-one casualty ratio is actually more in line with Lei Rui's predictions. According to Stark, the proportion of casualties in the army should be lower.

But for mutants like Hank the Beast, this result completely overturns their perceptions.

Although they possess a strong ability to mutate, they are only civilians after all, and they seriously lack an intuitive and objective understanding of the lethality of formed armies, especially the lethality of modern systematic and three-dimensional weapons and equipment.

That is, they overestimate the mutant ability of mutants and underestimate the lethality of the army.

It is not surprising that mutants can defeat a group of people by themselves when facing ordinary people who are also civilians, but in the face of formed armies, soldiers armed to the teeth, and the support of long-range firepower from heaven and earth, these mutants who rely on mutation ability are actually still unarmed civilians!

What's more, the more than 10,000 mutants gathered by the Brotherhood, and those who really have powerful mutation ability are not large, most of them just have a mutation ability, and they are not much stronger than ordinary people.

Lei Rui looked at their shocked expressions and felt that it was better to tell them more truth, and explained: "I know you guys think this result is unbelievable, but that's the result. In fact, in this place where you are, if you don't care about your life or death, you won't even see the enemy's face, and you will be killed or wounded by artillery fire. ”

The beast Hank and the others were silent, pursed their lips, and their eyes showed shock.

Professor Charles looked at Lei Rui and asked, "So, you're here to find Magneto Eric?" ”

His face still looked so calm, but Lei Rui could read the sadness and pity in his eyes.

Lei Rui shook his head and replied, "I'm here for you, Professor. On the one hand, I want to talk to you, and on the other hand, I hope that through you, I will find Magneto Eric and ask you what happened to Captain Rogers' death and who killed Captain Rogers! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Captain," replied Professor Charles, "I've been trying to communicate with Eric telepathically, but he wears a special helmet and refuses to talk, and I can't even sense his presence, let alone know his exact location. ”

"Alright then," Lei Rui replied with a nod, not looking too disappointed, "I'll find a way to find him myself." The reason I want to talk to you is because you treat humans, mutants, and ordinary people equally, and you think that we can live in peace. And I also believe that when humanity and the world are facing an existential crisis, you should stand up bravely and fight with all your might, trying to save the world and humanity. I'm right, Professor Charles. ”

Professor Charles looked at Lei Rui, frowned slightly, and asked, "You're right, Captain, but I don't understand why you say that." ”

"Because we are now in such a time of crisis," Lei Rui replied calmly, "the legislation and implementation of the Registration Act, the strife between mutants and ordinary people, and the intervention of the military in the war against the mutant brotherhood, all these are just a small part of this crisis. You can understand that this is just an appetizer before the main meal begins, and the real enemies are still hidden in the darkness, without showing their fangs. But I can already hear their sharpening knives and feel their agitation. In fact, this war, which is related to the life and death of this world and mankind, has already begun. As soon as I heard of you, I rushed here in the hope of convincing you to join us in the war against the real enemy. ”

Even Professor Charles, who was a little dumbfounded, continued, "If my guess is right, Magneto Eric, whether he realizes it himself or not, he is already on the side of the enemy. ”
