Chapter 208: On the eve of negotiations
"What do you mean?" Chen Lu asked the demon girl rhetorically, everyone knows that the Sky Carrier belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D., which in turn is a military agency under the U.S. government, so there is no doubt about who is responsible for the attack on the Mutant Academy.

So the Shapeshifter explained her doubts: "But there was not a single American soldier in the actual sense of the word, and it should be said that there was not even a single human. It's not impossible to do a fully intelligent bot attack, but is it really necessary? ”
"You don't have to worry about them, it's their business whether to do it manually or computerly." Chen Lu was dismissive of the Demon Girl's suspicions, and said with great certainty: "Anyway, whether it is a sky carrier or a sentry robot, they are all war machines that obey the orders of the US government, who else do you think can manipulate them?" ”
If Chen Lu is asked to answer this question, then this person is himself, but of course he will not blow up his hole cards against the demon girl.
The Demon Girl shook her head and denied: "No, the flagship of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sky carrier participated in the New York War a while ago and its final whereabouts are unknown, and its nuclear weapon defense capability may not be destroyed in the final nuclear explosion." If this aircraft carrier had been the one that had gone missing in the war in New York, perhaps the nature of the matter would have been completely different. ”
"Okay, so how do you explain that sentry robot? Don't forget that these robots were created by the government to combat the threat of mutants, and the official promised not to commit them into military operations other than against mutants, do you think Hydra or the scientist organization AIM went to great lengths to loot these things just to kill us mutants? Chen Lu explained angrily.
"They're robots," the Shapelet said solemnly, "Anyone can theoretically manipulate them, and the Sentinel Robots are indeed targeting us, but no one can be sure who is behind them." ”
"Then you mean that person is me." Chen Lu asked bluntly, "Otherwise, why are you following me for?" ”
The Demon Girl also directly confirmed Chen Lu's guess: The timing of your appearance and what you did were too coincidental for people not to doubt. ”
"The conclusion?" Chen Lu asked indifferently.
"I have no proof." The Shapeshifter said frankly.
Then both sides fell into a long silence, what else to say about an improvised detective trying to find out the truth and a mastermind trying to hide himself? In the end, it was Chen Lu who took the initiative to end the conversation: "I thought you would be on our side, it's a pity." ”
"It's that I'm not sure which side I'm on." The demon girl sneered at Chen Lu's back as he turned to leave.
Suspicion, this kind of thing Chen Lu has been suspected by Nick countless times, as long as there is no evidence to be found, simple suspicion is always meaningless. Soon his goal will be achieved, how much can a little demon girl make waves?
"Soon the negotiations between the Avengers and the X-Men will begin, and we will wait and see who is right and who is wrong at that time." Chen Lu left one last word to the Demon Girl before leaving, and left the secret training room of the Order of the Phoenix.
And as Chen Lu said, the superhero team led by Captain America will personally come to the Mutant Academy to discuss the Sky Carrier attack with the X-Men represented by Cyclops, and only in this meeting will the so-called truth come into play.
In order to ensure that the meeting was successful, Captain America also approached Tony to discuss with him how to explain the surprise attack on the mutant population, which was suspected to be planned by the U.S. government.
"So what else is there to talk about?" Tony said impatiently, "Just tell them that we lost a Sky Carrier in the New York War, and that it was all a Hydra conspiracy, and that we were completely unaware of this attack." ”
Captain America felt that it might not be that simple, and he asked worriedly, "Will they believe it just by saying that?" Magneto is said to be in their camp as well, are you sure that no one will mess with our negotiations? ”
"Well, let's not talk about it, just throw Hulk in and tear down the mutant academy." Immediately, Tony realized that he might have spoken too seriously, so he put away his profligate smile and said seriously: "Okay, Captain, you directly ask them to return the wreckage of the Sky Carrier." If it was indeed remotely operated by Hydra, the aircraft carrier computer should have left data as evidence, and with these things, we can prove that none of this has anything to do with us. ”
"Well, it shouldn't take much effort to get a pile of scrap metal back." Captain America thinks this is a technically good idea, and if they doubt that it will be fake, they can ask a trusted mutant scientist to work with Tony on the carrier's computer data, which happens to be a friendly cooperation between mutants and humans.
Now that the main policy has been decided, Tony begins to discuss some minutiae with Captain America: "Then let me see, you want to invite all the X-Men to join your Superhero Registration Act and be part of the Avengers?" ”
"Of course, the reorganized Avengers need capable people from all over the United States to join, and the X-Men will definitely be a great help." Captain America happily said that although S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer exists, the name of the Avengers has been continued by him and has become a superhero team directly under the President of the United States.
Then Captain America complained: "What a problem, before I became the president of the United States, there was no need to use the word 'negotiation' for such a trivial matter." ”
"No way, who made your current words and deeds represent the collective will of the U.S. government? Pay attention to who you are, Captain, the estrangement between mutants and humans has been going on for decades, and it's not as easy to solve as you think. Tony reminded Captain America.
However, Captain America didn't care about Tony's warning, but said ambitiously: "Then it's time to let this gap disappear in this generation, and now I have such power, right?" ”
"Of course, Your Excellency."
However, Tony knew that the next meeting between the U.S. government and the mutant community would not be pleasant, and the fusion between the Avengers and the X-Men would not be as Captain America had hoped.
After all, what someone is planning is not a good thing for world peace.
