Chapter Eighty-Six: Seeing Through
The crowd quickly arrived at the Mutant Academy, but to their surprise, the building was empty.
Alec took a look at the familiar building.
"There are traces of battle, but not much."
"There are no corpses, no residual blood, no traces of spells, Charles they should have successfully evacuated."
Eric nodded, "Can you get in touch with them?" ”
Alec said, "Yes, but it's not necessary. ”
Eric was puzzled: "Why?" ”
"Because Nicole is still alive, if she dies, I can feel the power of the contract disappear...... By the way, quite a few people in the Mutant Academy have my phone number saved, and if they do encounter an enemy they can't handle, they will definitely call me...... By the way, Eric do you use a cell phone? Need me to send you one? ”
Eric looked stunned: "...... Forget it. ”
He thought for a moment and asked, "Can you give me Charles's number?" ”
Alec pouted: "Charles doesn't use that thing, he always uses brain waves to solve problems." ”
Eric frowned a little stunned: "Then how did he contact you?" ”
"Isn't that easy?" Alec replied with a smile, "My phone number is not deliberately kept secret, he can contact me from any public phone booth...... Erik, although you mutants are more or less hostile to humans, there is no need to reject mobile phones and run into the deep mountains and old forests to be Tarzan of the Apes, right? Raven doesn't bring her phone because she runs around without clothes for a long time; Charles doesn't bring a mobile phone because he deliberately uses brain waves instead, except for these two, even the old antique Logan will use his mobile phone......"
Wanda covered her mouth and snickered.
Eric coughed in embarrassment, "I see...... If it's okay, I'll go first. ”
"Bye-bye~~"
…………
After Eric left, Alec dragged Wanda into the academy.
"Magneto is gone, Charles, haven't you had enough of your tricks?"
In the empty academy, Logan's voice suddenly sounded: "I thought the academy's phantom array was very good, but after all, I still can't hide it from you." Alec, how did you find the flaw? ”
"This formation breaking method is full of flaws, you used spells to create illusions, but you forgot to hide the energy of the illusion array. Even a layman who has been studying spells for two or three days would not make such a low-level mistake...... In addition, if the academy is really empty, then there should be some dust on the desktop, right? Isn't that kind of detail that no one notices? Of course, the flaws don't stop there, Logan, I'm 80% sure that you've been exposed...... I ask you, what is Magneto's power? ”
Logan showed his figure: "Magnetism? ”
"Why do you put a lighter in your pocket when you know it's magnetism? And you, Auroro, your belt buckle is metal, right? Your phone is also a metal case, right? Do you think Eric won't notice it?"
Auroro glanced at Charles depressedly, and secretly replied in his heart: Charles's wheelchair also has metal components.
The illusion that had shrouded the academy quickly vanished.
Charles appeared in front of everyone with a kind face: "Alec, long time no see." ”
Alec nodded, and then turned his gaze to Jean: "Long time no see, Jean, there haven't been any blind guys to harass you lately, right?" ”
Jean snorted coldly.
"You've been gone for more than half a year, and you want to say this to me?"
Alec spread his hands, "Of course not, but there are some things I'd rather say privately." ”
Jean pointed at Jessica, "You mean avoiding your other girlfriend?" ”
"No, I didn't mean that......"
Jean gritted her teeth: "Then you mean, bring another girlfriend to flirt with me?" Do you need us to wait for you in bed together tonight? ”
Alec licked his lips: "If you're okay with ......"
Charles, who was on the side, sighed helplessly and interrupted: "Can't you two stop for a while?" Eric has seen through our tricks, the academy is no longer safe, and we could be attacked at any time...... Ororo, Jean, Logan, throw away the metal items on your body, Coulix, I have collected some plastic weapons in the weapons room, can you please help me get them? ”
Colossus nodded and left.
Alec sat down next to Charles: "Do you know who the opponent is?" ”
Charles nodded, "William Stryker." ”
"He tested us once, and that time it was a reformed soldier with the ability to mind control and diamond...... Familiar, right? Exactly the same ability as the former White Queen, if William Stryker didn't get the White Queen's corpse, then he should have a mutant with the same ability in his hands. It's not surprising that mutants' abilities, while varied, are always a bit repetitive or similar. ”
Alec nodded: "What new tricks did he play?" ”
Charles smiled: "New tricks? You're looking too highly of him, and William Stryker is still using the same old tricks...... To be specific, it was the old bottle of new wine, and Quicksilver's ability combined with the White Queen's ability made the mutant brotherhood a big hit, and even Eric couldn't escape. Wanda, you were too careless, Alec didn't notice the abnormality because he didn't have mental abilities, but you should be able to find it, but it's a pity that you didn't have half a bit of vigilance from beginning to end. ”
Wanda's face flushed.
Alec yawned, "And then?" ”
Charles smiled and asked, "Are you sure to deal with the White Queen?" ”
Alec nodded, "Of course, as long as you can handle Quicksilver...... The caster needs time to prepare the spell. ”
"In that case, let's go find him."
"Do you know where William Stryker's lair is?"
"Of course." Charles nodded, "William has a way to deal with brain waves, and most of his men can also block brain waves, but he obviously didn't prepare for Eric. Just now, I got the coordinates from Eric's head, and by the way, I learned about our enemy, Stryker is not prepared enough, if we move quickly, we should be able to catch him off guard. ”
Wanda smiled and said, "Looks like Colonel Stryker is going to have a big deal again." ”
Charles smiled: "Wanda, don't be careless. Stryker has been fighting us for more than a decade, and while he has always been a loser, he is by no means a mediocre man. If you underestimate him, you may suffer a big loss...... By the way, Alec, I'll remember to spare Stryker's life later, he planted a small bomb inside Eric, the bomb is limited in power, it won't kill us, but it's enough to send Eric to God. Eric is extreme, but I still don't want to see this old friend die at Stryker's hands. ”
"I see."
PS: It's good to cope with the assessment in the past few days, just get through it.
