Chapter 66: The Reckless Burning Man
"I've had enough! Why do you always force others to think the same way as you? ”
This sentence came out of John's mouth full of extremes, but Leus knew that the fire man was enlightened, and the professor had been forcing others to agree with him.
This is the key to Leus's constant resistance and distrust of the professor and even the X-Men he has created.
Magneto's method is wrong, but the professor's method is also wrong, and there is only one reason, which is to go to extremes.
Born in an ancient country far to the East, Leus knew very well that lions and sheep should not be kept together, and the former must be given a piece of the prairie.
Long before coming to this world, he thought of a grand ultimate plan, which was to transform Mars into a second earth, so that mutants and all superpowers could be completely separated from humans, which was the way to work forever.
With all the incredible abilities of mutants, it is not difficult to accomplish this, but only if there is a good leader with great energy and enough influence between mutants and humans to carry out the plan, it will have a chance of success.
Like Burning Man John, he completely believes that mutants are superior to ordinary humans.
So when the Department of Homeland Security arrives at the manor the next day and demands that the manor be outlawed on the grounds that its owner is unable to maintain it and has no heirs, John the Burning Man begins to change.
The ghosts all knew that this was a lie, and it must have been because Yue'er's burst of energy had attracted the attention of the human government.
As a response and solution, it can be said that the clever and stupid Burning Man John did something astonishing, and he began to attack places with extremely high crowds!
Sudden fires broke out in important crowds all over Washington, but Burning Man John was very clever to avoid places with cameras, which caused nearly half of the police force in Washington to be contained, and all high-level officials were concerned.
"Now, on November 12th, we've got this damn fire rat in our hands and we're going to take him to the most heavily guarded base in the world, Guantanamo Bay. There, this fire rat will spend the rest of his life......"
It was the morning news, and while everyone was still sleeping, a sniper fired a tranquilizer bullet that shattered the second-floor glass of the motel and shot into the left hand of Burning John.
In this way, a mutant terrorist attack that lasted for more than half a month came to an end.
Leus stared at the TV screen, his fists clenched, his muscles bulging. But with the sound of deep breathing, after more than ten seconds, it gradually regained its calm and relaxed.
"Wake up!".
With a snap of her fingers, as if time had stood still, Mieko and the others still looked at him with surprise, though wondering why he suddenly stood up.
Leus just hugged the warm and delicate body in front of him tightly and didn't say anything. After letting go of her, he continued to hug Simon and the five children one by one.
"I'm back."
"I know what's going on, don't worry, I'm back."
Just listening to his simple repetition of comfort, but Mieko suddenly felt relieved and worthwhile, her nose was sore, and she almost couldn't help crying, but she finally held back.
Yue'er also seemed to forget what happened that day, and the way she expressed her emotions was much more direct than that of adults, just jumping up tightly and letting Lius pick her up, and then Yue'er hugged him tightly, as if she would leave as soon as she let go of him.
He knew that of all the children, he was probably the only one who had an almost pathological dependence on him.
After all, he is half a psychology expert, Yue'er's experience since childhood and the kidnapping fermented, and he became her hero when he appeared.
After a simple breakfast, the haze that had been hanging over the manor since he woke up seemed to be blown away by the extraordinarily strong sunlight of the day, and the usual peaceful and idyllic scenery of Vis Manor was restored.
But for Leus, time was of the essence, and although he had only just woken up and his body had been skinny for a month, he still had a lot to do.
Asked Mieko to take the children back to their daily training and study life, he and Simon went to the underground base and made a round.
"What about the kid?"
"Follow me."
Led by Simon, a secret passage under Leestoneguò leads to a small wooden house near the manor, where a bald boy is watching television.
"Today, in order to restore the friendship between mutants and humans, and to commemorate the dedication and sacrifice of some of our fellow friendly mutants on Alcatraz, our council has decided that Hank McCoy will serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations......"
The blue-haired beast on the news was honorably promoted from Minister of Mutant Affairs to U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Leus knew that the changes on Alcatraz were not just for him.
"Jimmy, are you used to being here?"
"It's okay, it's about the same as the real yàn room."
When Jimmy heard the voice, he looked back and saw Simon, who had been taking care of him for a month, and the black-haired young man who had rescued him in the real room, so he replied calmly.
"What about you? I heard you were unconscious, are you okay now? Jimmy looked at Leus with a clear, unadulterated gaze.
For some reason, Li Wusi suddenly felt that only a child with such pure eyes could have the ability to purify a mutant.
"I'm fine. Come, it's been a month, and I don't think anyone remembers you anymore, so you can live with us in the manor. ”
Leus smiled and took his hand and led him to the castle, and then introduced Jimmy to Mieko, William was already aware of his existence and was not surprised, but Andrew and Nicholas were happy to have a little friend.
Things have to be dealt with one by one, and after Jimmy is settled, Leus takes Simon for a walk around his manor and talks about some important plans.
"Simon, you did a great job about the day the professor came." Leus and Simon walked to the edge of the garden, and he said suddenly.
"I know where I am." Simon smiled, a smile somewhat self-deprecating.
"Don't worry, I'll find the funds soon, and I'll be fine as soon as the agent starts selling."
Simon shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal about the words, and Leus sighed and said, "It's just...... About John, Guantanamo place, you know, I don't know what to do best. ”
"I don't think you really should have consulted with me, I've never been good at comforting people and giving ideas, I just like pure research...... and women. Simon kicked the pebbles under his feet, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you are really embarrassed, I can reluctantly analyze the current situation, but the decision is still up to you." ”
