With her back to the sofa and her legs crossed on the table, Claret looked a little bored as she ate a quick food takeout while looking at Zorro, who was chatting on the phone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was the second call Zorro had received in half an hour, and that number had been made by Zorro a few days earlier. So, Clarley was a little curious.

Finally, when Claré was about to eat all the takeaways, Zorro finally put away his phone and walked over.

"Oh girl, how can you eat so much, how can you not get fat!" Glancing at the table, Zorro shouted, and pretended to be a malicious glance at Claret's lower abdomen.

Clarley's face turned a little red. However, she did not shrink to prevent the other party from seeing, but straightened her lower abdomen, stretched out her white and tender five fingers and clicked on it a few times.

"I work out every day! And that one in the morning took too much of my energy. She defended herself, and then asked curiously, "Have you received a new commission?" Can you take me with you this time? ”

"Yes, and then, no."

"Oh please, take me with you, for the sake of what I've done for you today, help you fix all those people, and seal a dead body in a piece of paper for you." She blinked her talking eyes and said pitifully. Then seeing that Zorro was still unmoved, she made a look like she was going to break up. "Well, if you don't take me, I'll go out on the street and tell everyone you're a necrophil!"

"Necrophilia?" Zorro wasn't intimidated by her, but looked at her and blinked, thoughtfully, "3Q, when I get a nickname in the future, I will have new materials, maybe I can use it one time." With that, he smiled softly, then shook his head. I kept the body because it might sell for a lot of money later. And if you don't think that's a good idea, try this one – the body can't fall into someone's hands, and it can't be destroyed by cremation or anything like that. Because once this body is destroyed, the thing called the power of the phoenix inside may choose another host. How horrible it is for you to see that parasitic guy today. ”

"What are you talking about, I didn't ask you to explain." Clarley looked him in the eye with a smile on her face.

An inexplicable atmosphere suddenly rose, and the distance between a man and a woman became smaller and smaller under the action of some invisible force. Seeing that something was about to happen, someone suddenly reached out and tapped the girl on the forehead.

"I'm explaining it to the audience." Zorro pointed upward, "Maybe someone is watching my story!" ”

Clarey muttered something at first, but rolled her eyes when she heard Zorro's words: "Why is it your story and not mine." In my story, I will meet a lot of guys who are more handsome than you and more reliable than you, and then I will develop a vigorous love affair with two or three of them. During this period, there were also various misunderstandings and various mutual misunderstandings. Eventually, I will marry one of them, raise two or three children with him, and start a happy family......"

"Yes, girl, I'll ban you from reading online articles in the future!"

Two hours later, a Focus St pulled up in front of the gates of West Chester X Academy.

"Do I have to wear this mask and still wear this mask?" Clarley tugged at her little black leather coat and shorts all the way, trying to cover more of her skin. On top of that, the pair of long heels on her legs also made her uncomfortable.

Yes, in the end, Zorro still couldn't grind her and took her with him.

"Face masks are a must, and clothes are your choice." Someone was speechless.

"But my other clothes are more casual and not suitable for ......"

"Forget it, it's pretty good right now. Haha, very feminine. But you really should be like a normal girl, shopping for clothes or something. Zorro said half-jokingly. Also, have you figured out your nickname? ”

Clarley frowned, "Not yet." What nickname did you use this time? I'll refer to it. ”

This was the first time Claret had officially appeared when Zorro was talking to someone about commissioning, and she had done some behind-the-scenes work before. Now she's a little nervous.

"I tell mutants that my name is 'Salt Water.'"

"Then I'll just 'Soda'." Clarie breathed a sigh of relief, "But why saltwater?" ”

"Because salt water gram leeches. Also, forget soda, you can just call Shadowhunter. ”

Before Clarey could continue to ask, Zorro had already walked over to Stormgirl, who had been waiting at the gate of X Academy for a while.

Seeing several "management" of the mutant moderates again, the two sides were not very polite. After a little formal introduction to each other, no one even paid attention to Clarley's Shadowhunter identity, and the two sides got to the point.

And the first topic is naturally the cause of Jean's death, the Edelman alloy spike.

"That's right, I did it. Also, that piece of Edelman alloy was cut by me after diving to the bottom of Lake Alcali where you used to be, which is now the ruins of the base. And you're probably right, I've been following the development since the Phoenix Girl 'died' at Lake Alkali. But, as I've told you before, this time it has nothing to do with Mr. Disgust. And I'm not working for Mr. Disgust. Well, that's it, what's the problem? ”

Professor X and the others looked at him with different expressions. They didn't expect that the other party, who had been vague before, would suddenly become so frank. You know, after deciding to contact the other party, they have thought of many ways to trick each other's words.

"It feels very unreal." Logan said directly. Considering that Qin died at the hands of the other party, it is not difficult to understand his more impulsive attitude. "You haven't said why you're doing this."

Zorro was stunned for a moment: "I didn't say it last time?" Well, I didn't make it clear. In fact, I do this, as well as the commission I mentioned earlier to help you solve the problem of 'antidote', for only one purpose. That's him. ”

He pointed at the blue-haired beast Hank McCoy, leaving several mutants stunned.

"You're wearing that helmet that interferes with psychic abilities, and your face is unrecognizable, and I can't be sure if you're lying." Glancing at Hank, who was a little overwhelmed, Professor X said slowly, "Let's say you're telling the truth. Why, though? Why Hank? ”

Professor X's logic is clear. First of all, Hank the Beast wasn't the most special mutant present or in the entire Academy. When it comes to combat effectiveness, he can't compare to Logan, or even the Iceman. Speaking of combat experience, he, a researcher, was thrown out of the Pacific Ocean by Logan, a veteran of many wars. And whether it is the particularity of his physique or his mutant ability, he is not the most prominent one. So, the only possibility is that the other party has taken a fancy to Hank's talent?

The other party's subsequent words confirmed Professor X's suspicions.

"I got a document a while ago and there are some things on it that I don't understand. I need a professional to help me analyze it. So...... The Phoenix Girl's thing is the admission ticket so that I can get in touch with you. And the problem of the 'antidote' is an equivalent exchange. ”

"You!" Before Hank could respond, Logan was furious. Originally, Qin was killed by the other party, so he finally held back, after all, the other party actually did nothing wrong. But now, the admission ticket? Tickets!

As soon as he pushed away Auroro, who was about to stop him, he was about to pounce on the other party. As a result, the maid on the other side wanted to make a move, and Professor X quickly used his psychic ability to control him, and the other party himself also pulled out a straight knife on his back and pointed it at him.

"Attention, Wolverine." I haven't received a good face, and this time Zorro didn't shout "Uncle Wolf" anymore, and stared at the other party's neck meaningfully, "You have an Edelman alloy, but my knife is not bad." How else do you think I cut that piece of solidified Erdman alloy from the bottom of Lake Alcali? I don't think you've thought about it! So......" The awe-inspiring momentum was here, and he put away the straight knife he had just drawn, and it was not serious again. "Wouldn't it be better to talk about business? Harmony makes money. ”

(PS: In order to make the plot clear and unify the setting, there is no beta or primitive Edman alloy in this article, there is only one.) ）
