Chapter 42: Sleepless Nights

As Ellis lay on the bed, trying to remember the past brothers of his 'predecessor' and his younger brother Jiang Feng.

At two o'clock in the morning in New York, there are still many people who, for various reasons, have to give up sleep and start staying up late.

Vladimir, who is sitting in the headquarters of the Russian gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, has just finished dealing with the affairs of the gang, dragging his tired body and lying on the sofa to pretend to sleep, when he is called out by his subordinates who came to report the matter.

"What's going on, and it's not going to stop even after this point?" After sitting up, Vladimir rubbed his sleepy head and looked at the white man in front of him.

"Boss, we've lost contact with the Brooklyn stronghold!"

"What? I can't contact Anatoli, so what about Shin Yoshioka of the Hand Association? As for his brother, Vladimir's sleepiness suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"I can't get in touch either." The white man should have tried all the contact methods, but there was really no way, so he came to Vladimir to report.

"MD, I warned him that something might happen in the next few days, and I fooled the guy in the hand to protect him, why did something happen!"

After complaining about Anatoly, who had not let him worry since he was a child, Vladimir smashed his fist on the coffee table in front of him: "Gather people, let's go over and have a look!" ”

Thinking of what happened during this time, Vladimir had a big head, and some time ago, Andrei disappeared into a pawn shop under his hand for no apparent reason.

Before he could start retaliating, he was warned by the powerful legislator in New York State, so that he had to suffer this dumb loss.

Fortunately, Andre is not a core member of the gang, otherwise he disappeared so inexplicably, and I don't know how many illegal things he has done will be involved!

In the past two days, I finally stopped a little, and I received news that some time ago someone had offered a lot of commission on the black market (Margaret's Bar) to attack Anatoly.

Unexpectedly, he deliberately arranged Anatoly to go to a new base in Brooklyn, and also contacted Yoshioka Shin of the Hand to protect him, but in the end, something happened!

…………

When Vladimir rushed from Hell's Kitchen to the Anatoly hideout with his heavily armed men, Congressman Kelly, who had disappeared for a few days, also appeared on the streets of New York!

Ironically, as the vanguard of the anti-mutant army, after being made by Magneto, he didn't even dare to go to the hospital for fear of being hostile to ordinary humans.

Instead, taking advantage of the night, he went directly to Xavier's genius school, the base camp of another group of mutants in New York, to find Xuebaqin Grey for help.

However, his physical condition was really bad, and he collapsed as soon as he arrived at Xavier's Genius School.

Fortunately, Xavier School, as the base camp of the X-Men, was equipped with all kinds of medical equipment and rescued him in time, otherwise he might have died.

Taking this opportunity, Professor X performed a telepathic ability on Kelly in the basement of the school, read the memories in his mind, and got the answer he wanted.

"Professor, what happened to Councillor Kelly that made him look like this?" When Kelly fell asleep, Professor X led everyone back to the office, and Storm Girl was curious.

"Eric uses Councilor Kelly as a guinea pig, a guinea pig who can transform ordinary people into mutant experiments!"

After recalling the scene in Kelly's mind, Professor X explained to several people: "He found a device that emits radiation that mutates the human body, thereby inducing the X gene mutation hidden in the human body!" ”

"But the rejection of the foreign gene by the body caused the cells to die almost completely, which led to the terrible situation that Congressman Kelly is in now." Jean Grey, who did the check-up for Congressman Kelly, added.

"Does radiation affect mutants?" Cyclops then asked.

"It won't affect mutants, but it will cause great harm to ordinary people like Councilor Kelly!" Professor X affirmed.

"Then why did Magneto target Naughty?" At this time, Wolverine, who was standing on the side, asked his doubts.

"Because this instrument will absorb Eric's abilities, make him extremely weak, and even kill him directly."

After revisiting Kelly's memories, Professor X concluded, "So he wanted to use Mary's ability to manipulate the instrument and release radiation on a large scale in New York." ”

"So to speak, because the little naughty stayed in the Jiang Clan's pawnshop, Magneto's plan has actually gone bankrupt?" Wolverine asked while rejoicing in his heart at the little naughty choice.

"That's right, Eric's plan is indeed bankrupt!"

After seeing that several people were showing a happy look, Professor X said with a straight face: "But now we can't take it lightly, I can't say what else Eric will do, and that instrument can't be left behind." ”

"Professor, what should Councilor Kelly do?"

After nodding, Cyclops turned the subject to Kelly's hot potato: "If he can't find a cure, he won't survive a day and die!" ”

After mentioning Congressman Kelly, who was still asleep, several people, including Professor X, set their sights on Xuebaqin Gray.

There is no way, high strength does not mean high knowledge, in the face of such a thorny problem, several people can count on Jean Grey.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I can't find a cure in a short period of time!" Although she is literate, Jean Grey is not a god and can only express regrets.

After hearing this answer, Professor X raised his eyebrows.

The main thing is that Kelly's identity is too sensitive, being both a member of the government parliament and the initiator of the mutant registration bill.

If he can save his life, I believe that after this incident, his hostility towards mutants will be reduced a lot, which will greatly improve the current disadvantage of mutants.

Although Magneto brought him a painful experience, didn't the X-Men also take the initiative to save him?

It wasn't just Professor X who thought of this floor, but everyone in the room thought of it, so after hearing Jean Grey's words, they all fell silent for a while.

"It's okay, Qin, we can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't!" Professor X furrowed his brows and relieved everyone.

"Professor, you mean Ellis from the Jiang Pawnshop!"

Jean Grey mentioned Ellis and worried, "We don't have a good relationship with him, will he agree?" ”

"Yes, as long as there is enough value of pawns, he will sell!"

Professor X, who basically figured out Ellis's character, was sure, and then he changed his tone again: "Besides, who said that we have to take Kelly to Jiang's pawnshop." In addition to us looking for Councillor Kelly, there is also a group of people who are also worried about Councillor Kelly's disappearance! ”

"Professor, you mean the government guys behind the scenes?" Cyclops thought for a moment and asked with some uncertainty.

"That's right, I believe that he is not having a good time now, and the upper echelons of the US government must have put a lot of pressure on him!"

Professor X walked to his desk in his wheelchair, picked up the phone, and said, "And with their resources, they might be able to save Councilor Kelly directly!" ”
