Eric met Charles in Charles' office.

He looked around Charles's office, sat down and said, "Charles, your office hasn't changed in so many years. Just like you, stubbornly old-fashioned. ”

Charles smiled: "Hehe, Eric, it seems that life in prison has not changed your mind, you are still full of hostility towards humans. ”

Eric got straight to the point and said, "Charles, I need you to help me find the members of the Mutant Brotherhood. ”

"Eric, news of your escape quickly spread throughout New York, and I'm sure those followers of yours will be here soon." Charles said solemnly, "Eric, you're now wanted by humanity again. ”

"I knew that those narrow-minded humans couldn't have been so kind to release me."

Charles knew that the contradiction between him and humans could not be solved in a moment, but it was likely that there would be more trouble if he was allowed to wander outside, so he made another arrangement for Eric: "Eric, I want you to stay and help me manage the school together." I've figured out your new identity, it's Michelle Xavier. ”

"Michelle Xavier? Do I need to hide here incognito? They couldn't help me at all. Eric said coldly.

Charles persuaded bitterly: "Erik, although you and I have different philosophies, we both want mutants to get a better living space, don't we?" We need time to clear up misunderstandings with humanity. ”

At this time, Laser-Eyed Scott entered the office and found that Eric was also there, his face changed, and he said unceremoniously: "Eric! Why are you here, a fugitive? Get out of here, don't upset the whole school. ”

Eric smiled wryly at Charles: "Charles, you see, even mutants can't accept me now. Do you still count on humans? ”

Charles knew that there was a deep understanding between them, so he could only persuade the impulsive Scott: "Scott, calm down." I wanted to keep Eric at the school and give him a new identity. We mutants should settle their grievances, unite, and there can be no more civil war. ”

"Leave him? Charles, are you crazy? If he stays, then I'll go! Scott angrily slammed the door and told the original team about it.

Cyclops, Angels, Beasts, Iceman, and Marvel Girl are so puzzled by Charles's approach to keeping tigers that the five later break away from the X-Men and form the X-Factor.

Li Zixiong watched TV in the lounge of the Skua base, and was very envious after seeing the superpowers of mutants such as Magneto and Iceman.

"If I can get their superpowers, then I can beat the little monsters!" Li Zixiong sat up and decided to look for them.

"Laura, take me to the Iceman."

"Navigate to Academy X." Laura gave Li Zixiong navigation directions and asked him to follow to find them.

Li Zixiong sneaked out quietly without telling everyone, and found X Academy after all odds, he entered the school and shouted to the empty playground, "Is anyone there?" ”

When no one responded, he shouted again: "Is there anyone?" ”

At this time, Charles's voice appeared in his head: "Li Zixiong, welcome to X Academy!" ”

"Who? Who's talking? Where are you? Li Zixiong turned around and didn't find anyone.

"I'm Charles, and I'm talking in your head. Come to the principal's office and come to me! ”

Li Zixiong scolded in his heart: "Damn, you all like to talk in my head, Laura too, and so does this Charles." ”

Li Zixiong followed Charles's consciousness to find the principal's office, pushed open the door and entered, saw Charles in a wheelchair and asked, "You are Professor Charles, right?" ”

"Yes." Charles looked at him with a smile and said, "Just now I found another consciousness in your mind, which seems to be artificial intelligence. ”

Li Zixiong said in surprise: "You know this? yes, damn Stark forced this chip for me. ”

"Don't flout the system!" Laura called him again.

Charles laughed, "If you want to remove this chip, I can help you." ”

"Really?" Li Zixiong said embarrassedly, "But it can help me gain superpowers." ”

Li Zixiong told Charles about the process of gaining stealth ability for the first time. He knew who Charles was, so he had nothing to hide.

Charles said: "This system just gives you an electric shock to boost your brain waves, and the fundamental reason is that your own genes are extremely plastic. If you come with me, I can do it here. ”

Li Zixiong said happily: "Professor Charles, are you willing to help me?" I want to be like an Iceman who can freeze monsters instantly. ”

"Hmm. Wait a minute, I'll call Bobbi the Iceman. Charles used his brainwaves to call the iceman to the brainwave augmenter.

"Come, you both put on this helmet." Charles took out two brainwave helmets and gave them them.

The iceman recognized Li Zixiong and took the initiative to greet him: "Hey, it's you?" We've slain monsters together! ”

"Yes, Iceman."

Charles said to the Iceman, "Li Zixiong, he's an amazing mutant. I'm calling you here to test my suspicions. ”

The two people put on the helmet, and the threads on the two helmets are connected to synchronize their brainwaves.

"Close your eyes and let's get started!" Charles turned on the brainwave connection, the light on the helmet flickered, and the connection cable also glowed pale blue.

Li Zixiong felt as if he had entered the body of an iceman and understood the ins and outs of his superpowers.

Everything went smoothly, and after it was over, Li Zixiong took off his helmet and felt that his body was full of strength.

Poppy asked, "Professor, what did you just say you wanted to test?" ”

Charles took them to the fountain in the school playground and said to Li Zixiong, "Kid, try your new abilities!" ”

Li Zixiong stretched out his hand and concentrated his mind on the fountain, his body temperature quickly became cold, and an ultra-cold cold air came out of his hand, which instantly froze the fountain, and the ten-meter-high water column stood there like an ice sculpture.

"Wow, it's incredible, you actually gained my powers?" Poppy the Iceman was surprised and said, "You're better than a little naughty!" ”

At this time, the little naughty can only briefly gain other people's superpowers by touching them, and it will also endanger the lives of others. However, Li Zixiong can permanently retain the superpowers he has acquired, and there are no side effects.

"Thank you, Professor Charles! It feels amazing! Li Zixiong looked at his hands excitedly.

"How about joining us? You'll get stronger and stronger! Charles graciously invited him to join the X-Men.

Li Zixiong is now a hot teenage hero and the mutant with the best image among humans, and if he can be asked to join the X-Men, it will definitely make a big difference in the human perception of mutants.

Li Zixiong was originally a fan of the X-Men, and in the face of such a temptation, he naturally agreed without thinking. However, the chip in his brain determined that he had betrayed the Avengers, and electrocuted him again.

Charles noticed this and said with a smile: "Li Zixiong, in order to show my sincerity, I want to give you a gift, come with me." ”

Charles took him to the Beast Hank's studio and said to him, "Hank, you can help him change the protocol with the chip in his head." ”

Li Zixiong looked at this big man with thick hair and glasses and said, "Hank, please!" ”

Hank grinned, and with one hand easily carried him onto the table, wirelessly connecting the scanner to the chip in his brain. Hank was also a member of the Avengers, though he rarely attended their events, preferring to be with his mutant friends. Stark's chip encryption didn't bother Hank at all, and he quickly cracked it.

Hank smirked, "Stark, after so many years, you still use these passwords." I don't even have to brute-force it, hehe! ”
