Leaving the Himalayas, Grant did not immediately go to Charles and Eric, but quietly returned to the United States after recovering his strength and came to the headquarters of the CIA.

Finding a random agent to knock him out and hide it, putting on the other party's uniform and taking the other party's identification card, plus some camouflage and tips for dealing with the interrogation, Grant easily entered the interior of the CIA headquarters.

The CIA's headquarters is not ordinarily large. Although it looks spectacular from the outside, the part hidden underground is much more magnificent than the part above ground. As a result, it took a while for Grant to find where he wanted to go. As soon as he got there, he heard an interesting conversation.

"War is coming, John."

The person who said this was one of the heads of the CIA, the one with the surname Stryker. The last name is all about bringing back some not-so-good memories of Grant. He had a vague sense of something to do with the same Stryker he had met at the base below the Alcali Dam in Canada more than forty years later. Judging by his age, it is possible that the man Grant met more than forty years later is the son of the current one. One thing he was sure of was that the two Strykers were equally obnoxious.

Stryker responded to another head of the CIA. However, instead of saying anything conclusive, he asked a question: "I think so, too...... Wait, who are you referring to in the war? ”

Stryker didn't answer the question immediately, but after glancing at the woman on the other side of the glass in front of them. Then look at his companions. The implications speak for themselves.

On the other side of the glass is none other than Emma Foster, the White Queen whom Charles captured in a Soviet military resort.

Seeing that the two heads of the CIA were looking at her, Emma also knew what the other party meant. I saw her smile softly. Walk up to the glass, diamond a few fingers on the palm of your hand, and draw a circle on the glass.

This hand made Grant's eyes light up. Partial ability, this is something that can only be done with a lot of refined skills! This made the purpose of his trip even more convincing.

Emma Foster gave her a nudge, and the round piece of glass she had drawn fell to the ground. Then, she blinked confidently and spoke to the two heads of the CIA.

"I will not call our dispute with you a 'war'. Because the strength of both sides is not at the same level at all. ”

Hearing this, the two CIA leaders were of course furious. But I didn't wait for them to attack. The White Queen did it. Under her control, Stryker and John suddenly stopped all their movements, as if their time had been stopped.

It turns out that the White Queen not only has two abilities, telepathy and diamondization, but also mind control. This is something that even Grant from the future does not know! It's not surprising, though. Because in the original timeline, everyone on the Black Emperor's side was solved by the Ancient One, and the White Queen was also among them. And more than forty years later, in the future that Gu Yi showed Grant, Emma died a few years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it was ordinary humans who did it. Anyway, in the future battle that plans to destroy humanity, there is no White Queen at all, so it is not surprising that Grant does not know her specific abilities.

"You've put together a list of their abilities. Well, there are also bug reports and suggested countermeasures. Well, there's no need for me to be surprised by what is rightfully understood. Want to fight your psychic abilities with a normal metal helmet? It's a shame that you guys came up with it. He scoffed. Emma muttered to herself, "But...... Haven't submitted your report yet? It's a good opportunity. ”

After thinking for a while, the White Queen's right index finger and middle finger were raised. Press it on your temple, just like Grant had seen with Professor X. However, it can be seen that Emma has a lot more difficulty than Charles when using mind control ability, and the effect does not seem to be as good as the latter. It took a few moments before the CIA officer nodded blankly to her and left. And the two of them took a special look at Grant when they walked past where he was hiding. But he didn't do anything, and walked straight over.

But. That's not what Grant cares about the most. What he cared about most was the words that the White Queen said when she controlled the two of them.

"If Sebastian Shaw is stopped, push the United States. The military and the Soviet military carried out sweeping missile strikes on mutants......"

Obviously, this sentence of the White Queen was addressed to Grant.

"If you're an uninformed person, you still think you have some deep hatred for mutants."

Grant walked out of the corner where he was hiding, came to the side of the glass, and looked at the other party through the round hole cut by Emma Foster, "How did you find me?" ”

To this, Emma Foster smiled and said, "I just sensed that the guards nearby were falling one after another, so I guessed that someone was coming." I didn't expect it to be you. So, do you want to join us? Or are you already with us? ”

Grant shook his head: "You're so loyal to Sebastian Shaw?" Why? ”

"Because he was the first to see the identity of a mutant as wealth, a treasure." The White Queen's tone was very serious, "It's not like I haven't seen other mutants before him, but those people are afraid to hide their identities for fear of being discovered by ordinary humans. And Xiao - no matter what he wants to do, he is for the future of mutants, so that mutants can sit in the sun openly, so that mutants will no longer receive discrimination and persecution. ”

"Well, I can't deny the legitimacy of these goals." Grant shrugged, "But wouldn't you doubt his original intentions?" Or is his ultimate goal to rule over ordinary humans? All you want is living space, but what he wants is to squeeze the living space of ordinary humans, which is not the same thing. Also, taking a step back, even if he really just wanted to make the mutants live better, didn't you think that what he did was reasonable? You know, he's provoking World War III, and it's a nuclear war! ”

"This ......"

Listening to Grant's words, Emma Foster was a little hesitant. Soon, though, she came to her senses. Glancing at Grant, she said lightly: "Let's just say it, you're not here to save me." Why come here? ”

As for the attitude of the White Queen, Grant didn't mind either. He nodded again, "It's true that I'm not here to save you. Well, at least that's not the end goal. Honestly, I'm here to recruit you. ”

"Solicitation?" This reply came as a surprise to Emma Foster.

"That's right, solicitation." Grant looked into the other party's eyes with a very serious expression, "The future world is much more complicated than you imagined. Disputes between ordinary people and mutants are only a small part of it. I'm not going to promise a life for mutants, but I can swear I'm going to do everything I can to protect everyone I'm close to. So, Emma, do you want to think about it? (To be continued)
