Chapter 18: The Stormy Mutants
"What do you think of the professor?" Sitting in the passenger seat of the X-jet, Logan, who had been a little restless, asked Auroro, "I mean he behaved too differently this time than usual." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that the girl with Jean and Scott had a lot of suspicions, and the mere fact that she had the means to interfere with the professor's telepathic abilities - although not thoroughly enough, it was enough to attract attention. But he actually put aside the situation over there, and said something to think about quietly. You say, what is he hiding from us? ”
"Oh, Logan, you know what, you're not acting like you usually do right now." Auroro grinned. But because she was concerned about Jean and Scott's situation, her smile was a little reluctant. "Jean's situation makes you feel less like yourself, and so should the professor. I think what he was thinking about, his worries, had to do with Jean's situation. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, speed up!"
The notorious Wolverine is now a hairy boy who wants to make sure of his "girlfriend" - I don't know how to define his relationship with Jean Grey - and he doesn't look like an antique who has lived to be N years old or even much older than Professor X.
At this time, he and Auroro went to pick up Jean and Scott's X-Men from the mysterious girl's hands. According to their estimates, the other side may be on the southern side of the Great Lakes region -- a route that goes southeast to the vicinity of Chicago and then east to New York. If that's the case, Rogan and the others will be able to meet each other near Rockford, northwest of Chicago. However, without Professor X's telepathic abilities to locate them, they couldn't be sure that the other party was taking which route. They don't even know what kind of transport the other person is using! So it is conceivable that although they used a lot of detection means and flew to many places, they finally returned in vain.
Logan returned to X Academy with a full stomach of resentment. For his own, there is also for Professor X. Which side is more, he doesn't know.
It's just that before he had time to ask Professor X about his guilt, he was shocked by a new piece of news.
"This is what a friend of mine secretly told me about Worthington Industries, one of the world's top 500 companies, has developed a drug that can inhibit the effect of the X gene on the human body." It was Hank McCoy, nicknamed "The Beast", an old buddy of Professor X who is now one of the teachers at X Academy. "As long as any mutant is injected with this drug, whether it is a change in appearance or a mutant ability, it will disappear with the inhibition of the X gene. And this change will be permanent. Worthington Industries is now in talks with the political axe to implement the drug. The intention of cooperation has been basically approved within the political axe, and all that remains is some details. They were going to call it the 'Cure'. ”
This is definitely not good news. It is conceivable that the emergence of the "antidote" will further divide the mutants who are not a monolithic species. Some of the mutants who have thoroughly accepted it will resist the "antidote", some will rebel, and some will not resist and will not cooperate. And deep down, those who still don't think of themselves as mutants will respond to the call of the political axe to inject the "antidote" to "return to normal". In the end, no matter what, the political axe and those institutions and organizations that are hostile to mutants are satisfied, and the mutants will collapse after many splits, and then the last mutants will be eliminated through legal coercion, war oppression, etc. If one appears, eliminate one until there is no more.
Although this is simply not possible.
"When did mutants become a disease!" Unexpectedly, the biggest reaction was not Rogan but Auroro, "We don't need an antidote, mutants don't need an antidote." Whoever injects that potion is a coward's behavior! ”
The "coward" argument was too blunt and unkind, and Hank was the first to express his objection. He also didn't think that the existence of an "antidote" was correct, but he was more open-minded, and felt that if someone wanted to inject that kind of medicine, it was their freedom.
It's that Logan doesn't have much feeling about the antidote or not. He's the kind of guy who agrees with a person or a thing, and then puts his heart and soul into it, but doesn't pay attention to anything else. This time, he knew that the antidote would bring a bloody outpouring of blood to his friends—Professor X, Auroro, and even Jean. Not to mention the persecution that will definitely follow on the human side, the waves that will definitely be set off by the radical mutants alone are enough for Professor X to bear them.
It's a good thing - Professor X sighed, that's what he thinks.
"Oh, don't worry about that, I can fix it for you." Just as Logan, Professor X, and the others were discussing the possible situation intensely, a voice suddenly sounded over their heads. "Yes, I can, if you will pay me! Hello everyone, I'm 'Salt Water'! ”
Well, someone changed their nickname again.
None of them are ordinary people, and it is surprising that someone can sneak in, especially if one of them has the strongest brain detector in the world. And if the other party is silent, they don't know if they can find each other!
All immediately went into combat mode. Wolverine stretched out his Edman alloy claws, and the beast also changed from a polite professor mode to a visually striking beast form; The pupils of the Storm Girl are covered with a layer of milky white, which attracts wind and thunder outside the house; Professor X also pressed the middle finger of his right index finger on his temple, as if he were facing a great enemy.
Someone in full gear jumped off the beam, tapped his horn helmet, and smiled at Professor X, who was still trying to read his mind.
"The principle is probably different from that helmet of your old friend, but the effect should be okay."
Zorro refers to Magneto Eric Lansher, the leader of the mutant radical faction. Lanshell has a helmet that shields Professor X's telepathy, and has saved the world with Professor X.
By the way, judging by the height and head shape, this Professor X is not Stewart, but should be an elderly version of McAvoy.
"It's really different from Eric's, and the effect is really good." Professor X said with a calm face, "So, who are you?" You seem to know us well. Also, what is your relationship with the girl who brought our two compatriots with you? ”
Hearing this, Zorro, like several other mutants except Professor X, was stunned for a moment.
"Why do you think that? Is it some basis or weird intuition? By saying this, he admitted that he had a relationship with "that girl." "By the way - though it may seem redundant, I have no ill will towards you...... At least not yet. ”
"Your shielding is similar to Jean and Scott's interference with my senses, so I'm going to speculate." Professor X reluctantly gave a polite smile, "I guessed it." ”
"Oh, please!" Zorro made a look of annoyance, "Okay, X obstruction, you won." ”
Seeing that the other party deliberately referred to Professor X (professor_X) as an obstructor (Preventer_X), the corners of their mouths, including Professor X himself, twitched subconsciously. Only Wolverine didn't care. After seeing that the other party admitted that it had something to do with Jean and Scott being taken away, he directly stretched out his claws and grabbed the other party's body.
