70, headquarters talks
This night, Luo Bei, who had no heart and no lungs, still slept very comfortably. As for Professor Charles's almost all-night insomnia, Luo Bei didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.
Until the next morning, when Moillo came to the hotel early, Luo Bei was still in the warm quilt and did not get up.
After taking care of the toiletries provided by the hotel, Luo Bei stretched his waist and walked out of the door.
"Good morning, how's your rest last night?" Moiro greeted with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
Also with a pair of panda eyes was Charles, who rubbed his swollen head: "To be honest, it's not good, let's have breakfast first." ”
"Of course, I had already booked breakfast. Come with me. After saying that, he took the lead and walked downstairs to the restaurant.
During the meal, Moiro said while drinking coffee, "We are very tight on time, I have made an appointment for a meeting, about an hour later, and it will be up to you then." ”
"I'll do my best." Charles nodded earnestly.
After breakfast, Moiro led Luo Bei and his group of three to board a black sedan and drove all the way to the CIA headquarters.
Looking at the gray and boxy building in front of him, Luo Bei couldn't help but complain: "As the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau, must it be built like a giant turret?" ”
The four of them waited in the reception room for at least three hours before a secretary-looking man pushed open the door: "Director, please come over." Also, you only have half an hour. ”
The conference room is not big, and more than a dozen people can be allowed to hold meetings here, and when Luo Bei and the three of them came in, the conference room was already full.
"Director, this is Charles Xavier, a professor at the University of Oxford, who is an expert in biological genetic variation, and the other two are his assistants."
"Well, time is too tight. We don't have time for hypocritical politeness, Professor Charles, and you can get straight to your presentation. "The bureau chief is obviously not very interested in Moiro's report. The impatient look had no intention of concealing it.
"Okay, let's get straight to the point." After saying that, Charles picked up a slide file and put it on the projector.
"It's all professional data, and you may not be able to understand it. So I'll pick up the key points and say okay. To put it simply, the earth has been dominated by mutation and evolution since the beginning of single-celled organisms.
From marine life, to insects, to reptiles, and mammals. Every time the dominance of the earth changes, the mutation of cells plays an irreplaceable role in it.
Of course, every era has a period of high incidence of mutation, and according to my theory, this is closely related to the great changes in the earth's environment, the most important of which is natural disasters.
In modern times, environmental changes are not limited to natural disasters, and human emissions of various pollutants, especially modern and pollution, have created an environment of large-scale mutation.
To put it more simply, the advent of the nuclear age may accelerate the process of mutation, and people with superpowers are likely to sit next to you. Thank you. ”
With that, Professor Charles turned off the projector and sat down.
Luo Bei tilted his head and whispered to him: "I don't think they listened to what you said at all, and it may be that they didn't understand it at all." ”
Sure enough, before Luo Bei's words fell, the director closed the notebook in his hand that he had never used at all: "Montgoth, do you really think that a scientist will make me believe the story you said about a woman with a silver light and a man who can teleport?" I think you're just giving yourself a reason, you better go back to your typing group, the secret agent profession isn't for you. ”
"Well, Mr. Director, I never expected you to understand what I said." After Charles finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders at Luo Bei and casually threw the information on the conference table.
"From the moment I first started speaking, you've been thinking about what's going to be lunch today, and I can tell you that the restaurant prepares strawberry pie."
After saying that, Charles rolled his eyes, and then continued: "I told you that I have the ability to read the minds of those around me. ”
The director was more impatient than Charles at this time: "I know your little trick, are you now asking me to choose a random number from one to ten?" Believe me, this is the CIA headquarters, and as soon as I get out of this door, I'll be able to find a room of experts in this area in no time. ”
"I don't have time to go around the bush with you, and I don't have time to pay attention to the you and your son. I just want to know what is going on in your head about the deployment of Jupiter missiles in Turkey. Charles directly used his abilities and was ready to speak with facts.
However, the development of things was a little different from Charles's expectations, and the director was not only not stopped by Charles, but stood up in shock: "Spies, they are spies, catch them." ”
Luo Bei looked at the director's absurd behavior, the water he had just drunk in his mouth, immediately sprayed the table, and coughed twice before saying to Charles: "Do you see it?" This guy is a rice bucket. ”
After speaking, Luo Bei didn't wait for Charles to reply, he sat crooked in the chair and stretched out a finger, and in an instant, a shining electric current shot out along Luo Bei's finger, directly bursting the fluorescent lamp overhead.
"Can you sit down first?" Luo Bei sat lazily crooked, his fingers still maintaining the posture just now: "What do you think of my trick?" ”
After speaking, an electric light appeared on Luo Bei's finger again, and as Luo Bei kept increasing the power, this thunder snake also kept flashing a dangerous light outward.
The director was completely stunned by Luo Bei's actions, but the excessive surprise caused not curiosity, but fear emerging from the depths of his heart.
"Monster! Come on, lock these monsters up until we find a way to deal with them! ”
Luo Bei is not afraid of the director's orders, and even if there is a mechanized force surrounding here, Luo Bei can escape safely with Charles and Raven, but the two of them will suffer a little guilty.
Luo Bei, who was full of confidence, looked at the director's performance like a clown, tilted his head playfully, and said to Charles, who was also calm: "What do I say, this guy is a rice bucket." It is only now that I understand why it is said that first-rate Americans are capitalists, and second-rate people are politicians. ”
Charles looked at Luo Bei helplessly: "Although I don't know where you heard the statement, it seems to be quite accurate now, and I don't know how this guy climbed to the position of director." ”
