Chapter 17: Missing an opportunity to complain
"So you ran from Washington to this side, thirty hours in a row, and waited for half a day, and your purpose was to knock out a mutant couple and take them away?"
Looking at Zorro, who was walking into the trailer box with Cyclops and Phoenix Girl in one hand, Clarley asked helplessly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"They're no ordinary mutants, and they're no ordinary couple." Zorro didn't stop what he was doing. "After I put them in the locker, you put in the air humidifier that I got in the morning with ether. Also, I found two equalizers for high-voltage live work, you put them on their heads, and then come out. Take care to seal the doors and vents. ”
"The storage room becomes a cell, alright." Clarley frowned and pouted, "What about you?" ”
"I'm going to get out there for a while, leave a message, and dive for a little bit or something." Speaking of this, he straightened his face, "After you do what I said, you don't care about the things in the storage room, even if there is any movement inside." Remember, that woman is terrible. If something really happens inside, you get out of the way as far away as possible! ”
"Uh, okay!" It's the first time Clarie has seen the other party so serious. He had never done this even in the face of the demon army summoned by her father. So this time, although she still didn't understand the other party's actions, she still nodded solemnly: "But you have to come back as soon as possible." ”
“OK。”
As a result, Zorro was gone for two hours. When he came back, he was wearing only a pair of big pants, and his whole body was wet, and he seemed to have really gone diving. It's just that what's going on with the straight knife hanging on your back? It can't just go into the water and cut fish.
"There's no movement over there in the storage room, is there?" When he returned, the first thing he said was to Clarley.
Clarley shook her head as she handed over a towel, asking her to cover the muscles that made her heart pound.
"Whew, it's okay, the little bird that just broke out of the cocoon is not strong enough." With that, Zorro smiled at Claret, "Okay maid, I'll go change my clothes and take a shower by the way, you go drive." ”
"Destination?"
"North of West Chester, New York. Well, maybe I'll have to look for it when I get there, and I hope that place is conspicuous enough. ”
A few hours later, a man and a woman were hurrying to a study in the main house in X Academy, a super-large manor-style villa in north West Chester, New York.
This pair of men and women is certainly not someone's maid and someone's maid. Their Peterbilt 389 wasn't that fast. Since this is X Academy, the man and woman are naturally Wolverine Logan and Storm Girl Auroro, who have just flown back and forth to Lake Alcali in an X-jet. They had been ordered by Professor X to go that way. Now it's time to come back and report back.
"Aside from the altered landscape and the signs of a strong impact on the site, we didn't find Scotter." Wolverine Logan hurriedly said to Professor X, who was waiting in the study, "However, we found a message that someone deliberately left behind. ”
He nodded to Storm, who took out his phone and projected a picture of the message he had taken.
They are "All Here for Me (Both_here)" and "I'm Coming (I'm_coming)".
"In the middle of the two phrases is a full stop. Also, the other party used 'both', doesn't that mean ......" Logan didn't dare to say it at this point. He was afraid that Professor X would give him an answer that he didn't want, and he didn't want to show his weak side.
If Zorro is here, I guess he will complain. Wolverine, who is respectfully known as "Uncle Wolf", his strongest ability is not his super self-healing ability, nor the Erdman alloy skeleton in that body, but his super popularity. So there was a bloody scene, and Wolverine strongly stepped into the relationship between Laser Eye Scott and Phoenix Female Qin, which has been able to do so for more than ten years. As a result, although Jean had indicated that she had chosen Scott before the accident, she did swing, and it did sway violently.
Back to the point. After listening to Logan's words, Professor X closed his eyes and sensed them with his telepathic abilities, which were unparalleled in the world. It took more than half a minute for him to open his eyes.
"Scott seemed very weak, and Jean was by his side, but ...... There should be something interfering, and I can't confirm their status thoroughly. Still, they are alive. ”
"Oh, thank God!"
Getting this answer, Auroro breathed a sigh of relief for the first time. Logan was happy to hear the news, but he still found it a little incredulous.
"How is this possible? We watched Jean being slapped by the waves more than ten meters high, even Pete couldn't escape death in that situation, but Jean was still alive? ”
Pete, whom Logan is talking about, is another mutant in the academy whose ability is to be made of steel all over. When it comes to the ability to resist blows, he is the highest in the entire academy, except for Logan, who has super self-healing ability.
Unlike Logan and Auroro's excitement, Professor X was worried.
"Logan, Auroro, I'm sorry to say, I'm afraid it's not a good thing......"
The two were a little stunned.
"Professor, you're saying that the guy with Jean and Scott is going to be bad for them or us?"
Auroro asked first, and Rogan raised his head at Professor X.
"I guess Professor, you should go to the brainwave machine. That thing was fixed? "Whoever it is, whatever it is, you find them, and I'll bring them back." If someone is going to stop - he or they will regret it! ”
Hearing Logan's words, Auroro also looked at Professor X. While she didn't approve of Logan's impulsive idea, she didn't want anything wrong with Jean and Scott.
Professor X, however, shook his head.
"The problem isn't with Jean and Scott. It was a girl, and I don't think she had any ill will towards them. The key is the piano itself......" At this point, he wanted to speak and stopped.
Seeing his expression, the Storm Girl, who had been with him for a long time, was immediately stunned.
"Professor, is there anything we should know that we don't know yet?"
Professor X glanced at her and Logan.
"We'll talk about that, but not now. Let's talk about it when they arrive. By this time they had arrived in Minnesota. ”
Logan frowned, "So the girl you said with the piano is indeed coming this way." So she knew who Jean was. She even knows this place?! Who the hell is she? ”
"Maybe she saw Scott and Jean exert their abilities, maybe Scott and Jean told her the address, maybe Jean and Jean were saved by the girl after encountering an enemy, maybe ......"
"Don't, maybe." Logan interrupted Professor X, "Can't you just read that girl's mind!" ”
"Logan, you know I'm not going to do that." Professor X shook his head lightly, "Since you're worried, you and Auroro will go and pick them up." It's up to you to decide what to do. I trust your judgment. Go ahead, I want to think quietly about something. ”
Sending the two out of the door, Professor X let out a heavy sigh.
He had to think deeply, not some, but only one, and that was the question of Jean Grey, or Phoenix.
