Chapter 187: Here We Go Again
"What's the matter, are you going to do it after you know that I have a relationship with him?" Grant looked at young Professor X, his face full of sarcasm, "Come on, I'll let you go." โโโโ๏ผโ
Hearing this, Charles's muscles stood out. Eric, who was on the side, suddenly reached out and pressed the pistol he had drawn, then shook his head at him.
"Charles, something is wrong." Young Magneto looked serious, "Don't let Mora's injury affect your judgment!" โ
After saying this to Charles, Eric looked at Grant.
"You seem to think you're the right one, why don't you tell me your reasons?"
I finally heard what I wanted. Grant nodded at Eric and then looked at Charles.
"The reason is in their heads." Pointing at the unconscious Mora and Lavin, Grant had a disgusted look on his face, "Dig deeper." โ
Grant's words made Charles stunned for a moment. Then, young Professor X's face was super ugly, but he still used his telepathic abilities again at the two CIA minor leaders.
At first, he saw the memory of Grant attacking the two, and Charles was relieved. However, Grant was clearly not untargeted, so he continued to dig into the depths of the two people's memories. After overcoming many obstacles, he finally found something unusual.
"I've been told that whether memories are erased or replaced, they're still there, just bits and pieces that are buried." Grant's tone was a little cold, "Looks like you've dug them out." So, what are you going to do? โ
Grant's words were like ice thorns, and they were fiercely inserted into the heart of Charles, who was bent on making mutants and ordinary humans coexist peacefully, making him stunned for a moment, and his face was still pale and pale.
See Charles like this. Eric also guessed that Grant was innocent. He doesn't have Charles's "great" sentiments, and even has resistance and resentment towards ordinary humans because of his past experiences. Now there is such a thing again, so the face is terrifyingly dark, and it is a strong contrast to Charles.
As for Emma Foster, after using telepathy on Ravan and Mora again, she already knew about Ravan hypnotizing Mora. She looked at Charles. Glanced at Eric again. Seeing that neither of them knew what they were thinking about and didn't mean to speak, she walked to Grant's side.
"The fact that the CIA did to you is so undeserved. But you should also know that this is the usual style of ordinary humans. The future White Queen looked distressed, "They are afraid of our abilities, afraid that they will become eliminated on the road of evolution, so they use all means to target us and prevent evolution from happening." It's sad. โ
Grant pouted. The White Queen is preparing to recruit him on behalf of Sebastian. In addition, she turned a blind eye to Grant's noncommittal attitude and continued to lobby.
"To deal with the persecution of ordinary humans. We must stand together and unite...... As for those who also have psychic abilities and those who can control magnetic fields, they actually become thugs of ordinary humans, which is simply ......"
Balabala, Emma Foster said a long sentence at once. The tone is abrupt and frustrating, and it is justified and well-founded. If Grant is really a mutant, after experiencing the CIA and LaVine incidents, he should be a little moved. Maybe it's a moment of excitement. He also swore directly to join the Hellfire camp. Then work with Sebastian to push for World War III. Detonating a nuclear war or something......
Thankfully, Grant isn't a mutant at all. He has never experienced the estrangement between mutants and ordinary humans, nor does he have the kind of inferiority or arrogance mentality. However, he has had a lot of experiences of being misunderstood and blamed. However, it wasn't enough to make him give up a better option and join Sebastian Shaw's Hellfire Club instead.
The point is that Grant needs to stay on Charles' side. to deal with the ancient one who doesn't know when he will come to the door again.
So in the end, under Charles's initiative to admit his mistake and Erik's persuasion, Grant still "reluctantly" returned to the camp of young Professor X and young Magneto.
And after this experience, although the relationship between mutants and the CIA is not irreconcilable, a crack that can be felt emotionally has been resting there. Even if Charles could convince himself with "the individual actions of individual people", Eric would not put up with such a thing anymore.
In fact. The two had an argument on the plane back to the United States. Although both of them were restrained and no voices came out, the intensity of the argument was felt by everyone else - the plane almost crashed because of Eric's ability to get out of control!
Young Magneto has a long history of dissatisfaction with ordinary humans, an attitude that has been fermented to the extreme after being given a cold shoulder by the CIA several times. So much so that for Charles, who insisted on the purpose of peaceful coexistence with ordinary people, he gradually developed a sense of doubt and resistance. In this regard, he leans more towards Sebastian's views. If the latter couldn't reconcile with his murderous vendetta, he might have been on the same side as the other party.
Charles is different. He has lived a prosperous life since he was a child, and he does not have much resistance to ordinary humans. His psychic abilities do not make him feel bad, but instead make him observe and pay attention to ordinary human beings from the perspective of "God". And he himself enjoyed it.
That's the difference between a young Professor X and a young Magneto. To be honest, this fundamental difference in perception, caused by differences in experience, is no worse than a rift between mutants and ordinary people.
However, all the differences between the two men disappeared the moment they returned to the CIA's research base in Richmond, Virginia.
The base is under attack! Angel betrayal! Darwin killed!
The base would be attacked, as Charles had known from Emma Foster's memory when he was in the Soviet military resort. It was Sebastian himself, as well as two other compatriots he led. It's not surprising that angels betray. In some ways, her fate was even more tragic than Eric's. This made her not have a good impression of ordinary humans, and it was natural for her to leave. But Darwin was killed, and they didn't expect this Charles to come. You must know that although Sebastian has done a lot of terrible things, he is still good to his compatriots, at least on the surface. And in the memory of the White Queen, the Black Emperor Sebastian was just recruiting a few of them from the Demon Girl, and he really had no intention of doing anything. This is also the reason why Charles and the others, although they were worried, did not rush back.
But tragedy really happened.
Darwin's death cast a shadow over the hearts of the young people. Until the crowd moved to Charles's villa, the situation remained unchanged. Charles's own preaching and agitation, as well as Eric's agitation, did not work very well, but had some counterproductive effects.
This is where Grant's advantage comes in. Compared to the steady Professor X and the mature Magneto, Grant quickly mingled with the young people and easily made them laugh. He also mobilized their emotions and got them into the training arranged by Charles.
For revenge, for the prevention of the Third World War, for the realization of their own values. With such and such goals, the young people and the two big brothers are preparing for the next big battle.
Until the Ancient One reappeared......
