Chapter 9: Before the War
More than an hour later.
Logan sped the car to the scheduled rendezvous.
Jean and Storm Girl had waited any longer, and there was a guy in a jacket with blue skin and amber vertical pupils all tattooed with special lines all over his body.
"Who is this?" Ying Ao was very curious about this special-looking man.
"Kurt Wagner, the title of the ...... in the circus"
"I think it's better for you to be quiet." Logan interrupted the other directly.
"What's next?"
"Finding and teaching them, of course. Alas? Bobbi, John, how do you ......" Jean unexpectedly found that Bobby and John's strength seemed to have been greatly improved, although there was still some distance from the third-level mutant (prefecture level), but it was much stronger than the original.
"Oh, I trained them a little bit along the way." Ying Ao shrugged.
"......" Storm Girl and Jean looked at each other speechlessly.
The little naughty is more depressed, although she is trying to control her ability, but the effect is not obvious, at least Qin does not see that her strength has changed.
"Rest assured, if your control improves so quickly, Magneto will be crying and fainting in the toilet. Besides, don't you already be able to touch people with your fingers now? Ying Ao smiled and comforted the little naughty.
"You ......," Jean would have been surprised.
"It's just a little trick from the memory of our ancestors." Ying Ao's face was innocent.
"Okay, don't talk about this, I'm almost finished being hit by this guy on the way, this is Blade, one of the Demon Hunter Leaders." Logan diverts the topic and introduces Jean and Stormgirl to the blades that arrive on the road.
"Hello, Blade, Jean Grey."
"Hello, Stormgirl." The two shook hands with Blade.
"I think we can ask Magneto, who just escaped from prison, what do you say, Mr. Eric?" Ying Ao turned her head to look in one direction.
"Magneto?!" Others were shocked.
"Your name is Ying Ao, right, very good perception." Magneto and the Demonic Girl walked over together.
"Actually, it's not perception, it's my aircraft that detected you, after all, I haven't actually seen your real person." Ying Ao smiled, and looked at the Demon Girl and Magneto at the same time:
The former has the same blue skin as the Night Demon and amber eyes, but she has short red hair and no clothes, and her blue skin is covered by special patterns on her intimate parts.
And Magneto is an old man wearing a black battle suit, a red cloak on his shoulders and a special metal helmet, if only from the appearance of him he is just an old man next door, but the energy fluctuations coming from his body make Ying Ao dare not underestimate the other party at all, the other party's strength is likely to be heaven-level.
"......" Magneto was also speechless.
……
Given that many of them were in the dust, everyone rested on the spot for a while before going to the rescue, and there were still some things to discuss.
Except for Daredevil, Little Naughty, and Bobby and John, who are still competing, everyone else gathers for a meeting.
The previous competition between the two in the car still did not come to a conclusion, so Ying Ao's wristband was naturally not sent out.
"The man who attacked your school was Colonel William Stryker, and he attacked the school for one purpose: he wanted to get a brainwave booster, or to collect enough parts to make another one himself." Magneto tells the truth about the attack on the school.
"It doesn't make sense, only professors can operate brainwave enhancement machines. What does Stryker want a useless machine for? Jean said puzzled.
"That's the only reason I think my old friend is still alive." Magneto explained that if he hadn't said that he knew the whereabouts of Charles and Cyclops, it would probably have started a fight, after all, there was still a big conflict between Magneto and the X-Men.
"Oh my God!" Stormgirl thought of a possibility.
Jean's face also became a little ugly.
Logan and Ying Ao were inexplicable: "I don't understand what you're afraid of?" ”
"Is there anything special about the brainwave enhancement machine?" Ying Ao was more perceptive, and he remembered that Professor Charles had said that if he focused more on connecting with someone, Professor Charles would kill the person he was connected to.
"When the brainwave booster is working, Charles's brain will connect to everyone on the source planet if he is forced to focus his consciousness strong enough on a specific group of people, such as mutants. Charles could kill us all. Seeing that everyone except Jean and Storm Girl were confused, Magneto explained.
"......" Ying Ao and Blade glanced at each other, and at the same time felt deep fear, damn this information they hadn't heard at all.
"Wait a minute, how did Stryker know about the Brainwave Booster? And know where it is? Storm Girl suddenly reacted and asked.
"I told him, remember, I built the brainwave booster for Charles." Magneto said in a low tone.
"Mr. Stryker is very persuasive, and even a mutant as strong as Charles can't resist." Magneto sighed.
"Who the hell is this Stryker?" Jean asked.
"Well, while you're discussing the brainwave booster, I've looked up Mr. Stryker's information:
William Stryker is an American soldier and military scientist with the rank of colonel, who served in the Vietnam War and is an experienced special operations commander.
Meanwhile, on the government side, his department is responsible for all things mutants.
His son's name is Jason, a mutant and a master of illusion.
But because of this, Stryker's wife was hallucinating for a long time, and in order to drive the hallucinations out of her head, Stryker's wife chose to commit suicide.
Since then, Colonel Stryker has been hostile and hateful to mutants.
Well, he's also your former boss Logan, the implementer of the "X Weapon" program. Ying Ao briefly told Jocelyn the information he had just sent.
"Yes, that's right, it looks like your intelligence network is strong." Magneto looked at Ying Ao with some surprise.
"Falsely praised." Ying Ao shrugged her shoulders.
"Wait, Ying Ao, you say he's my boss? What do you mean? Logan was clearly concerned about his lost memories.
"You belonged to Stryker's special forces during the Vietnam War, and then for unknown reasons you joined Colonel Stryker's "Weapon X" program, but it seems that you just wanted to gain more power, and you escaped from the program's base after the transformation was completed...... Oh no, it was in an attempt to brainwash you that you rebelled and killed quite a few members of Project X before escaping from the base. Ying Ao looked at the information displayed on the wristband and said.
"Aside from me, William Stryker is the only one who can handle synthetic cells, and the metal in your bones is his handiwork." Magneto explained.
