Chapter 259: Discovered
Surprise, surprise that can't be concealed without concealment. This was the expression on Professor X's face for more than twenty minutes.
Although there are several sheets of paper, there are not many of them. Just those headshots, frontal photos, and side photos have taken up a lot of space, not to mention several street shots or something. In short, all the text content adds up to about the length of a piece of paper, which is only three or four hundred words. The reason why it took Professor X about half an hour to look at it was because he spent most of his time carefully looking at and comparing the pictures.
During this period, Professor X was also the same as the beast before him, his face changed in various ways. There is excitement and excitement, and there is confusion and uneasiness. Finally, he put down the paper in his hand heavily, rubbed his eyebrows, and then slowly spoke: "Who gave you this thing?" ”
"I found it myself." Hank responded with a smile, "At that time, I happened to see this person's information and felt a little familiar, so I went to check it out, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish." ”
Probably too excited, this blue-haired guy danced when he spoke, and couldn't help boasting: "Fortunately, my observation and memory are not bad, otherwise I wouldn't have found it." ”
Seeing his old buddy like this, Professor X also smiled.
"But based on that alone, we can't be 100% sure that this is the same him, right?"
"Why not!" Hearing Professor X's words, the beast was stunned for a moment, then took the pieces of paper and pointed at it, "Look at this, is it similar to what we remember?" Especially this nose part. Let's not talk about his more famous identity. Although this photo of him was disguised, I recognized it. And the same ability, the same nickname...... To know. This nickname was given to him by Raven. ”
At this point, Hank suddenly became emotional: "We still had Darwin, the Ravager, Sonic and the Angels. Now that Eric is locked up and Raven is gone, it's just the two of us. ”
If you zoom in, you can see that the photo Hank is talking about is the same photo taken by Grant as an "insulator" when he first landed in Bermuda and registered for the meeting!
Look at the person in the photo. Professor X also fell into memory. It's funny to say, it seems that the first time I saved the earth was at that time. They did everything they could to prevent the outbreak of nuclear war, but they became enemies of humanity afterwards. What's even more embarrassing is that most of the people who stood by their side back then didn't get the ending they deserved. He had always thought that this included Grant the Insulator who he thought he had been killed by that mysterious man half an hour ago.
In order to save everyone, Grant blocked the terrible guy alone, and was taken into something like a portal, and then there was no news. For the next ten years. Professor X and the others never gave up looking for him, even during the hardest time when he was hunted down by humans. It's just that there has been no news for ten years, and they can only reluctantly accept the reality of losing a militant and friendly compatriot. That didn't change until more than a year ago.
Magneto and the Demon Girl, who hadn't been in touch for a long time, suddenly appeared outside the door of X Academy, startling several young people. However, instead of coming to fight, the other party took out a video that he got by chance, and asked to watch it with Professor X and the beast. It's no surprise that the leader of the mutant hardliner brought the Shapeshifter to Professor X. But even the beasts are to be together, then it is doubtful.
But when the video was played one-third of the way through. Professor X and the beast knew what the other was for. I saw that in the video, an old man suddenly appeared. used mysterious means to save the great magician who was plotted and then escorted through the streets, and opened a strange space door to send him away. And this space door is exactly the same as the portal that took the insulator away decades ago. From the analysis of clothing, figure and appearance, there is no doubt that the mysterious old man in the video is the one back then!
At that time, Magneto's request was simple, which was to find Professor X and the beast. I'm going to go to the mysterious old man together for revenge. And as with the disagreements and consensus on many other issues, revenge was not Professor X's intention, but he also wanted to know whether the insulator was alive or dead, and thus won Magneto's request. Exhaust the means, spend scheming and energy. Even Professor X could barely bear the work of the brainwave machine for dozens of hours in a row. Eventually, they found the location of the mysterious old man.
It's just that when Magneto, Professor X, the Witch, and the Beast appear in the Himalayas and enter the mysterious retreat, they get the answer that the mysterious old man is dead.
Next, Magneto, who didn't believe the other man's words, fought a young man who claimed to be the apprentice of the mysterious old man. That young man deserves to be some kind of supreme magician, but Magneto is not the young man who could only control metal objects a few decades ago. And in this battle, Professor X has no intention of completely attacking, and the demon girl and the beast can't intervene. In the end, it was Magneto who forced the other party to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and released a big move to press the bottom of the box, which was defeated.
The end result was that the four mutants left in disgrace. Magneto failed to avenge his former comrade-in-arms and friend, and Professor X failed to know the life and death of that friend-in-arms.
"Let's look at the comparison of the two photos. Why didn't we think that the great magician was the insulator, the Grant, when we were watching that video? ”
At this point, Hank interrupted Professor X's memories with a loud voice. Professor X followed the spot Hank was pointing to and looked over. On the most conspicuous piece of paper, two photographs are side by side, one on the left and one on the right. On the left is the insulator they suspect they knew, and on the right is the great magician who saved the Earth from the last alien invasion. The two photos have been systematically compared by professional software, and the similarity of the faces on both sides is nearly 80%.
"That's because the Great Magician doesn't have the same insulator abilities as we remember. Or maybe we all subconsciously think that the insulator is dead, so we don't even think that he might appear in public in another guise. ”
"So you also think that the Great Magician is the insulator, and that he is the friend of ours decades ago?" Hank asked excitedly.
Unexpectedly, Professor X shook his head.
"I think the insulator who is with us right now in this meeting, if not the one we know, is certainly very connected. As for insulators and great magicians - I can't say for sure. ”
Hearing this, Hank was stunned. Why does Professor X say that? (To be continued......)
