Chapter 186: Rift
"Mutants don't necessarily just huddle together like you do, and even if they do, they don't necessarily go public, just like you. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]" Looking at Charles and Eric, whose faces were terrifyingly dark, LaVine said with a very sure tone, "Maybe Grant is from the mutant corps of the Soviet Union or something." ”
Hearing this, neither Professor X, Magneto, nor the White Queen said anything. After all, the "facts" are already in front of us, whether it is the gunshot wounds on Laven and Mora or the memories and thoughts in the heads of the two, they all "confirm" Lavin's statement.
"Alright, let's get out of here first."
At this time, it was time for Grant, who was sent out to spy on the surroundings, to come back. In order to avoid complications, LaVine said: "This is a Soviet place after all, maybe that damn traitor will soon bring the Soviets over." We need to get out right away! ”
In this regard, Mora was unconscious, and the future White Queen had no say at all, and both the young Professor X and the young Magneto nodded. So the group set off. Emma Foster was escorted by Eric, Lavin limped with a gun and led the American soldiers who followed him to guard the surroundings, Charles held Mora, and several people returned the same way.
"Be careful!"
At that moment, Eric suddenly shouted. A black-brown object that could not be seen suddenly flew out of the woods and smashed into Laven's shoulder blade, who was unresponsive. With the sound of bones breaking, Laven's whole body was knocked out of the air.
It turned out to be an inconspicuous branch!
How much force does that take!
"Who's there!"
More than ten or twenty years of living in exile have made Eric's alertness very sharp. He was the first to react. However, ignoring LaVine, who was sent flying, the young Magneto instead controlled the magnetic field and moved Laven's gun to his side. Floating in mid-air with the gun was almost all the metal that could be used nearby, and even some of the rivets on the pickup truck they used to disguise the farmer not far ahead.
After Eric, others were quick to respond. When one leader was seriously injured and rolled and the other was unconscious, the US soldiers immediately formed a circle with their backs to the inside, and the muzzles of their guns were raised in all directions.
Behind Eric, Charles gently lowered Mora to the ground. Then the psychic ability was activated, and the brain waves instantly covered the entire area. But to the surprise of young Professor X, he found nothing telepathically. Covering a large area has no results, so it comes. Little by little, he could only sweep through with his brain waves.
However, Emma Foster, who had been held by the young Magneto, transformed into a diamond form the next moment when Laven was knocked away. She knew that she didn't have a companion like Grant, and by this time her companion was probably already wreaking havoc at the CIA research base in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Even they, led by Sebastian, may have completed their goal and are preparing to return. In short, it certainly won't be here. Able to knock people away with branches, her companions don't have the ability. Neither did the young men Charles found. Therefore, the person nearby may be that Grant or his companion.
At this time, the White Queen also wondered if the Soviet Union really had a secret team of mutants. Or is it something more serious - there is a third party watching the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States?
While Emma Foster was thinking, Charles had already thought of the most likely possibility.
"Grant, is that you?" After searching for brainwaves for a while, young Professor X had already found a blind spot in the direction he was coming from, "Why don't you give up hiding?" Come out and let's have a good talk. ”
Next, Emma Foster sees the mutant who has always been suspected of being her companion. I saw him appear in the woods without hurry, as if walking leisurely towards them. Subconsciously used his psychic ability on that person, but he couldn't sense anything. This feeling is not the same as when she faces Sebastian who wears a helmet given by the Soviets.
Then the man, that is, Grant, spoke.
"Looks like this is my 'companion', right?" Witness the White Queen transform from a diamond form back to her normal appearance. He snorted a few times, "Diamond beauty, this is a miracle. But isn't it rude to want to know the secrets of other people's hearts when they meet for the first time? ”
As soon as Grant's words fell, LaVine, who was still humming, had already walked over with the support of a soldier.
"'First meeting'? Hmph, you traitor - no, you spy don't pretend! At this time, Laven's face was tragic, as if he was ready to be generous in the face of a desperate situation, "We all know your tricks. Now what else are you going to do! ”
For LaVine's performance, Grant has long been prepared. Another unsightly thing skimmed by. Hit LaVine on the other shoulder. This time it's a coin. Before Charles could react, poor LaVine was knocked away again. This time the CIA little boss crashed into the trunk of a large tree and then slid down from a height of more than two meters, without even a sound of chirping.
"Noise."
I didn't even look over there. Grant looked directly at Charles, who was on guard, with a smile on his face.
Neither Charles nor Eric spoke for a moment, because the scene was already filled with gunshots. Those American soldiers seemed to forget that this was the place of the Soviet Union, and all the guns were aimed at Grant and opened fire without hesitation.
Bullets were fired at Grant with a sharp wind, and then the strange Grant stopped a foot or so beside him. I didn't see any movement from Grant. They lose all kinetic energy at once and are in free fall under the force of gravity. There were a few bomb grenades mixed in the bullet storm, and they were even more tragic - they couldn't blow up at all, like a squib.
As a result, until the U.S. soldiers had exhausted all their bullets, Grant still smiled and stared at young Professor X and young Magneto, and occasionally glanced at the White Queen. In the face of those bullets and even grenades, he was unscathed; He didn't even look at the American soldiers, even Mora and Lavin.
Next, there was no movement on either side. Grant faced the opposite couple alone for several minutes. In the end, it was Charles who spoke first.
"Grant, what do you want to do?"
"I want to know what you want to do." Putting away his smile, Grant said with a cold face, "Persecute your compatriots with these persecutors of your compatriots, or stand on the side of your compatriots?" ”
Hearing this, Eric opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not saying it. Charles spoke with a heavy face.
"Your tone is no different from Sebastian's. Do you really have anything to do with him? ”
(The X-Men will borrow some of the plots from a few parts, but certainly not from the script.) Moreover, the period of going back in time is quickly over. )
(PS2: I'm also drunk when I encounter a delay of several hours, is there any comfort...... (To be continued.) )xh118
