Chapter 279: Surprised
"You're not a mutant at all!"
The powerful words of the Demon Girl fell, and the air in Grant's room suddenly condensed. Magneto and Demon, the two bosses of the Mutant Brotherhood, and the insulator-Grand Magician Grant, both looked at each other motionlessly, as if they were about to fight in the next moment. In the entire room, only the two metal beads in Magneto's hand were still moving......
Until half a minute later.
"Well, I'm not a mutant." Grant spoke, and put on an innocent look, "But you're not here to kill me, are you?" If yes, I'm going to call the police. ”
Hearing this, Magneto's expression distorted for a moment. As for the Demon Girl, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
"You're still the same as you were fifty-two years ago." This time without looking at Magneto's color again, the Demonic Girl spoke directly, "Okay, we're not here to joke with you. We have shown our sincerity and have told you everything we know. Now it's up to you to tell us what we want to know and what you know. ”
"So is this the Shapefit asking for it, or is Raven asking for it?"
Grant suddenly responded, silencing the other party. As a result, before the demon girl could speak, Magneto spoke.
"Does it make a difference?"
Judging from that tone and demeanor, Lord Magneto had a lot of opinions about the question Grant asked.
And that's how Grant responded.
"There's a big difference." He said seriously, "If the Demon Girl is asking for it, at present, in terms of the unanimous position of life on earth, you and I are allies, and I will answer your questions." But that's about it. ”
"And what if it's Raven?"
Honestly, it's not the time to play the emotional card with the old guys. Magneto was reluctant to mention the name. Even the Shapeshifter herself. Because "Raven" represents a memory. This reminds them of the time when they worked closely with Professor X against the enemy, and finally parted ways. It was an eternal pain in their hearts. Coupled with the fact that there is a part of the hatred between humans and the reason for this, the Demonic Girl has said many times that "Raven" is no longer her name.
When he first entered this room, Magneto called the name once. But that's his strategy to get closer and try to get closer. Both he and the Shapeshifter were mentally prepared. But when the name comes out of other mouths, they may not be happy.
But since it's a start, and now it's asking for help, it's useless to mind.
Grant understood the general idea of the other party, but he still said the name.
"If Raven is Raven, she's my friend, fifty-two years ago or now. I'd love to answer some of her questions. I will even give her some advice that I think is important where necessary. ”
"Okay then." After glancing at Magneto again. The Shapeling nodded and said, "How can I prove that I'm a friend Raven?" ”
As a result, Grant smiled: "You just have to say it." ”
Belch......
The reason for this statement is that Grant is not playing tricks or anything, let alone joking. First of all, it's a means of beating the other side against the majesty that Magneto is exuding more and more - decades of prestige are not covered. Secondly, Grant is also using the relationship between the names "Magic" and "Raven" to remind the two bigwigs of the Mutant Brotherhood in disguise that everyone has always been a life on Earth. And now they are all part of the alliance, and they should be unanimous with the outside world. There's really something going on in the dark. It should also be put away at this stage.
After speculating about Asgard's predicament from Loki's existence, Grant became more and more worried. That's why there is such a thing as "secondly".
At one point, Coulson intended to develop Grant into a team-like figure. It is clear that this plan failed. But at the very least, although Grant does not have the same sentiment as the American team, he has his own sense of responsibility. At a time when the whole planet is facing a crisis, he has no idea of turning the tide. But he also made up his mind to protect his lover and friends. Anything that would undermine the formation of the coalition of the United Guardians of the Earth, or threaten the lives of those he values, will be crushed by him!
(Well, the author was a little too excited on the anniversary of the victory in the Anti-Japanese War)
Then, when Magneto and the Demonic Girl were scorched by thunder. Grant spoke again.
"Do you remember the man who hunted you down and said you were a threat to Earth's civilization?"
Hearing that Grant finally got to the point, Magneto and the Demonic Girl got rid of the various thoughts in their minds and became serious. The former even picked up the words when the other party's voice fell.
"Of course I do. For thirty years in a row, that guy never gave up looking for us and hunting us. The last time was more than twenty years ago. It was that time that we lost the mutant's greatest chance. ”
It's hard to see the gritted teeth on Magneto's face these days. After all, he was already in his seventies, and the long years were enough to precipitate a deep enough city. But now, he really couldn't help it. And when he said this, he paused, then looked at Grant: "You were taken away, and the man reappeared, and we thought that a fellow man had been killed for us. Charles tried to find him with an EEG machine to determine if you were alive or dead, but unfortunately failed. At that time, Charles was not so capable. We've also planned to make an appearance of our own, lure that man out, and avenge you. But this has been stalled because we are not sure that we can defeat him. And now you're alive. ”
At this time, the demon girl also spoke: "If it weren't for the fact that you haven't appeared for decades afterward, and we still came to the door in person, we would all have to wonder if you are colluding with that person to use this method to deceive us mutants." ”
"Well, well, it's true. Also, thank you for caring about me. It's true! Grant replied, then looked at them separately, "What I'm going to say may seem a little strange to you, but I can swear I'm telling you the truth. Actually, it's the Ancient One, the guy who has been hunting you all along, and asked me to save you. ”
"What?!"
Magneto and the Demonic Girl couldn't help but shout directly.
Their surprise is incomprehensible. In fact, when Grant heard the ancient one say that he wanted to stop his past self, he had a similar expression. (To be continued......)
