162 with the White House
As soon as Wang Jinlong looked at Professor X's expression, he knew that he had guessed who was doing the tricks on the instrument, except for the Demon Girl, no one else had this ability.
The relationship between Professor X and the Demon Girl is too complicated, Wang Jinlong doesn't want to care about it and is not qualified to interfere, so he simply ignores it, points to the part that has been manipulated and asked, "Professor, do you want to replace the things inside?" β
Professor X came back to his senses and said, "Yes, it's going to be replaced." You turn that valve on, then press the orange button, and ......"
Repairing the instrument requires drilling low and climbing high, and of course Professor X can't do it, so Wang Jinlong has to get the instrument done under his command. Then he asked, "Do you want to check it out in detail?" So that there are no problems with other parts as well. β
Professor X said, "Then check again, but don't go into too much detail." She doesn't know much about mechanical and electronic instruments, and she doesn't do things too secretively. β
Wang Jinlong still didn't ask who "she" was, but silently followed Professor X's instructions and examined various key parts. In the end, the results showed that there was no problem with the rest of the brainwave enhancer. Professor X didn't hesitate any longer and activated the instrument.
This brainwave intensifier is very interesting, not only does it strengthen Professor X's abilities, but it also allows Professor X to manifest what he sees with his abilities on the spherical walls around it. Although it looks bizarre, you can still see the name if you look closely.
Wang Jinlong stood quietly behind Professor X, looking at the surrounding scene with great interest. But after a while, the machine flickered and smoked! This made Wang Jinlong stunned and asked, "Overloaded?" β
Professor X was not injured, looked at the location of the smoke, sighed and said, "I was still manipulated, I didn't expect Ruiwen to grow up, not the little girl I remember." β
Wang Jinlong frowned and said, "Now that the machine is broken, how can we find Magneto and them?" β
Professor X was silent for a long time before he said, "There is no other way, unless ......"
"Unless what?" Wang Jinlong immediately asked. In the original plot, Magneto was using instruments on the Statue of Liberty, but now that things have gone awry, it's not certain whether he will be there or not. In case he is no longer there, where will Wang Jinlong go to find him? If he can't find it, he will be in big trouble, and he can't help but be in a hurry.
Professor X was still calm and relaxed, and said, "There is only one way, which is to use a helicopter to carry me and conduct a carpet search." However, the United Nations summit is about to begin, and it will be very troublesome to apply for a helicopter route. β
Wang Jinlong said helplessly: "Then contact the White House, at this time, only the cooperation between us can prevent this crisis." β
Professor X frowned and said, "Is this matter suitable for the White House to know?" Even if the immediate trouble is solved, I'm afraid that they will make a big fuss about it, and the so-called mutant threat theory will be noisy again, right? β
Wang Jinlong said: "The threat of mutants to them always exists, and it is not that they will ignore it without this matter. Instead, we're working with the White House to at least let them know that tackling the dangers of mutants requires the support of pacifist mutants like you. If they understand the matter, they should pull one faction to fight another, win us over, and fight Magneto. If they have to kill us all, then there is no way, and you don't blame me for using some out-of-the-ordinary means. β
Professor X changed color and said, "No! In any case, it is not right to provoke a war! Scott, promise me, don't ......"
"Professor! The side that provokes the war is not necessarily evil! Wang Jinlong interrupted, "One thing I haven't told you is that the White House has actually been preparing for war. As early as the time of the Cuban crisis, the White House was aware of the threat of mutants and actively looked for ways to restrain them. In 1973, a guy named Trisco BolΓvar invented a robot, codenamed 'Sentinel', to find and kill mutants.
In order to study the Sentinels, Trisco dissected Angels, Red Devils, Emma, Christ, and more, and also took Alex, Toad, and others from the battlefield. If it hadn't been for the Demonic Girl who saved them, I'm afraid they would have died on the dissecting table.
Resentful of Trisco BolΓvar, who had slaughtered fellow mutants, the Shapeshifter killed him at the Paris Peace Conference. However, when she kills Trisco, she herself is caught and the secret of her shapeshifting abilities is revealed. Trisco's death did not stop the Sentinel Project, but rather accelerated it. It is estimated that in the near future, Sentinel Robots will be born and slaughter all mutants. β
Professor X was stunned for a long time, Angel, Red Devil, Emma, Alex, these people were all his acquaintances, some had been hostile to him, and some were his companions. What made him most uncomfortable was that the Demon Girl had actually been caught, but she was very lucky not to be dissected and escaped.
The mutant died on the dissecting table, such news is no longer news, Wang Jinlong himself escaped from the secret base. And his batch of mutants, I don't know how many died. Professor X doesn't know those people, and can still deceive himself and prevent other mutants from taking revenge and continue to seek the path of peace. But after being tortured into a demon girl, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and he couldn't suppress the devil in his heart.
Wang Jinlong didn't give up, added another fire to him, and said, "Remember General Stryker?" He had been Trisco's assistant in the first place. After Trisco's death, he continued to study mutants. But he's just a pawn, an outcast who can be thrown out at any time to calm the situation. The mutant weapons he researched have not made much progress for so many years, but he has never lacked research funds, why? Because his research has provided detailed data for the Sentinel Project. The Sentinel plans to hide behind him and do his own research with the data.
The last time I escaped from the base, the entire base was destroyed, but the loss didn't stop Stryker from retiring. According to my information, he will most likely be reinstated and continue to carry out mutant research at another base, and I don't know how many mutants will die on his dissection table by then! β
Professor X said incredulously, "What? Are they going to use mutants for living-body-experiments? And you're going to work with them? β
Wang Jinlong spread his hands and said: "If it is according to my idea, of course I will not choose any cooperation, but directly control the White House and completely eliminate all hidden dangers." But because of you, all my thoughts are just thoughts. Now do you understand? Your claim for peace is based entirely on the bones of mutants! β
Professor X suddenly looked like he was a teenager older, but after being silent for a long time, he shook his head firmly and said, "No! If you want to take control of the White House, no one can do it better than me. But the equality and freedom achieved in this way is built on the sand, and once it encounters wind and waves, it will completely collapse, which will make the situation of mutants worse. β
Wang Jinlong really couldn't stand him anymore, and asked, "Then you just watched them kill mutants?" If you don't save yourself from death like this, aren't you afraid that the souls of those mutants who died on the dissecting table will wail in your ears? β
Professor X smiled wryly, "I'm afraid, but I trust you, Scott. You've done a good job all this time, and although some of the methods are not bright enough, they are the common political tactics of politicians, which are recognized and acceptable by ordinary people, and not the ability of mutants that they cannot understand. So, please, you can definitely stop them and lead the mutants to the day of true freedom and equality! β
Wang Jinlong really doesn't know what to say, he can accept the shady methods used by politicians, but insist on not using mutant abilities, what is this?
But the situation is stronger than people, and Professor X's abilities are too perverted, unless he has the same psychic ability, or Magneto's helmet, to offend him is to find death. Therefore, since Professor X has set the tone, Wang Jinlong can only abide by it, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
Well, although he is dancing with shackles, Wang Jinlong has nothing to be afraid of, it's a big deal to lift the table and stop playing. Without the ability to mutate, he can sweep a large area with martial arts alone, not to mention that he still has a net worth of tens of billions, and it is still easy to hire 1,800 outlaws, and he has enough ability to lift the table.
The most pressing issue now is still to stop Magneto. If Magneto kills the world's leaders, there really won't be a place for mutants. So after coming out of school, Wang Jinlong drove Professor X and went straight to the White House.
When he arrived at the White House, Wang Jinlong's identity was revealed, and with the addition of a Professor X, even the president couldn't take it seriously. But whether or not to receive the meeting did make it difficult for the president. Wang Jinlong is just that, although he is a huge rich man and has great influence, as long as he uses the power of the state, it is still easy to clean him up. Even if he is a mutant and has great lethality, as long as he does a good job of targeted design, he is still sure to take him.
The trouble is Professor X, unless he voluntarily enters an enclosed space and can remotely control it away from his psychic power, it is possible to take him down, otherwise anyone who has malicious will towards him will be noticed by him and stopped in advance. Such a person is almost like an incomprehension, and he must not be offended.
But what if I met with Professor X and he read the confidential information out of his head? After all, the president is the president, and he knows too many secrets that must not be leaked. Therefore, whether you accept it or not, it is very inappropriate.
The president urgently summoned his subordinates to discuss, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was to have an ordinary staff member who knew nothing to receive Wang Jinlong and Professor X, take them to a remote office, and then talk to them via video link. As for where the president on the other side is, Professor X didn't sense it anyway, at least not in the White House.
