Without further ado, getting to the point, Rocky said lightly at Nathaniel: "I want to know, is your experimental research related to the extraction of variant genes?" Don't intend to hide anything from me, I'm familiar with this kind of experiment. ”

Nathaniel's brows twitched when he heard this, he didn't expect Rocky to find out about this kind of small detail, originally he planned to hide this matter, after all, this kind of thing is actually partly hidden from the apocalypse, in case someone knows where the apocalypse is, then I am afraid that the ruthless guy of the apocalypse will blame it, and it will be unclear at that time. But now that Rocky has learned about it, there is no need for him to hide it, "Indeed, I have received an order to extract the genes of these captives, use their genes to reshape their own abilities, and then instill them in the bodies of others.

"Isn't that the equivalent of seizing power? You must know that the mutant gene is only a quantitative amount in the body of the mutant, if it is extracted unscrupulously, not only will the ability be lost, but even its life may not be guaranteed, who gave you this right?! ”

If it weren't for Rocky to stop her, I'm afraid Jean Grey would have rushed out and punched Nathaniel hard, seeing the fierce Jean Grey, Nathaniel's eyes flashed with a trace of extremely subtle mockery, "You have to understand a truth, we are originally hostile to each other, no matter what we do to the enemy, it will not be an excessive thing, I hope you understand." ”

Jean Grey laughed angrily when she heard this, and was about to retort but was stopped by Rocky, "Okay, I need to know now that this is not the problem. The question I want to know is, where are they being held by you now, and why can't the telepathic detect them? ”

To this question, Nathaniel scoffed, "Of course you can't find it, for they are ...... at our feet."

Rocky lowered his head, looked at the metal ground under his feet, and after lightly sensing it, he suddenly realized, "I see, the floor material below here is actually made of sound-absorbing steel, and it is no wonder that your telekinetic detection cannot penetrate it." ”

"What is sound-absorbing steel?" Jean Grey was puzzled, it was the first time she had heard the term metal.

"The so-called sound-absorbing steel, it is not an exaggeration to call it a solid metal, the most precious thing is that it can isolate the erosion of all superpowers, so your telekinetic detection cannot penetrate it, do you understand now?" Rocky patiently explained.

Hearing Lodge's explanation, Jean Grey suddenly realized, and Nathaniel looked at Lodge with strange eyes, thinking in his heart how Lodge could know such a rare thing as sound-absorbing steel, but when he thought that the other party had absorbed his cosmic rays, this doubt was suddenly gone, after all, how could a person who could restrain the cosmic energy be a simple character?

After explaining what sound-absorbing steel is, Rocky stopped the conversation, now that he knew where Scott was, all he had to do now was to find them, "You should know how to get into this underground, right?" Take us there. ”

Hearing this order, Nathaniel naturally couldn't refute it, after all, his life was now in the hands of others, how could he dare to resist?

So, Nathaniel could only honestly lead Rocky and Jean Grey to the entrance to the underground, even if this did not help his ambitions, even his ambitions would be dissipated by this, after all, nothing was more important to him than his own life.

The so-called underground laboratory is not very hidden, in fact, it is very conspicuous and easy to see, but it is easy to ignore it for the first time, because it is on the left hand side of entering this hidden prison cell.

When Rocky and Jean Grey entered, they looked around and couldn't see anything, and the entire underground space looked like a large ventilation duct, or more strictly speaking, it was indistinguishable from a labyrinth.

Rocky took a cursory look at it, and then turned his gaze to Nathaniel, the meaning of which did not need to be explained, naturally asking him to lead the way, and there was also the idea that this place seemed very complicated, and there might be some mechanism in it.

In fact, Rocky thinks too much, half of the people can't enter here at all, if there is no Nathaniel to lead the way, they will not enter it, although the apocalypse does not fully trust Nathaniel, but he still recognizes his strength, how would he know that someone can defeat Nathaniel and then enter it? So this place has always been undefended.

So, all the way to the place where Scott and them were imprisoned, when Rocky saw Scott and their current appearance, he couldn't help frowning, sure enough, the harm of extracting mutant genes for the mutants themselves is very huge, the three mutants who were originally tall and big can now be said to be skinny after repeated experiments, and they don't look like they used to be at all.

Jean Grey was already a little speechless at the moment, these were all her companions, but now she was tortured inhumanly and turned into such a ghost, which was unbearable for anyone, and she turned her extremely angry gaze to the 'culprit' present.

Nathaniel couldn't help but smile when he faced such a commonplace look, "I have made it very clear that our position belongs to the hostile forces at all, and it is already very good that I did not kill them, do you still expect them to be complete?" ”

Although the words are hard to hear, it has to be said that this is a fact. If Nathaniel had been captured by Rocky, death might have been impossible, but enslavement was inevitable, and it was even more torturous than death, because he had lost his freedom.

But Nathaniel's straightforward statement did not make Jean Grey's anger diminish a little, "Since you said that we are hostile, then even if I kill you now, you will not be reluctant in the slightest, right?" ”

Nathaniel's face immediately changed when he saw this, he could feel that Jean Grey in front of him was not as simple as joking, she was serious, now he was really a little cowardly, and at the same time there was a feeling of hatred in his heart, if it wasn't for Rocky being here, how could he be afraid of Jean Grey's threat? As long as he resists, Rocky will inevitably take action, which means that he must die. However, the key to immortality lies with Rocky, so he turns his gaze to Rocky, which means, 'I have done what you say, but your companion is going to kill me now, so you can't do something about crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.' ’

Rocky immediately understood the meaning in Nathaniel's eyes, and laughed, in fact, there was no need for Nathaniel to do this, he would save the life of the Doctor of Disgust, if nothing else, he planned to dig out all the secrets on his body, so now, Doctor Disgust couldn't die yet, so he only heard him say lightly: "Jean, he can't die yet, I hope you understand." ”

Jean Grey turned her gaze to Rocky again, with a trace of incomprehension, a trace of restraint, a trace of anger, extremely complicated, and finally she closed her eyes, and her face slowly fell into calm, when she opened her eyes again, she came back to reason, her eyes were very flat, and there was no expression on her face and said: "I understand, whatever you want!" ”

Rocky breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped out of the lab, put Scott and the others down, and ordered Nathaniel to have them out.

Jean Grey didn't intervene until Scott and the others were safely in the car, and she offered to take them back to College X first.

Lodge naturally didn't say anything, and waved his hand to order her to leave, but what he didn't notice was that at the moment when Jean Grey turned around, a trace of scarlet light flashed in her eyes, and Jean Grey at that moment was extremely strange.

After Jean Grey left, Rocky took Nathaniel to the rooftop of the hotel, facing the height of dozens of floors, which was enough to make ordinary people feel afraid, and the expressions of the two were flat, because they would not be afraid of this height that could not make him die at all, but Nathaniel had concerns, he didn't understand what the significance of Rocky bringing him here was, but he couldn't take the initiative to ask, after all, his identity was very embarrassing now, what right could a captive have to speak?

But it was clear that Rocky would not bring Nathaniel here without speaking, and he naturally had something to say. The air that had been silent for a long time finally came the vibration of the words, "You must think it is strange, what words cannot be said below?" Do you have to run to it? Don't think I don't know, it's already covered with the eyes and ears of the apocalypse, and I'm afraid he knows everything I say and do. Of course, I don't care about that, but I'm afraid that if I say it, your life will be ruined, don't tell me that you are genuinely doing things for the apocalypse, Mr. Nathaniel! ”

Nathaniel's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, he naturally didn't really do things for the Apocalypse, but he was just a fairly tough branch, clinging to a strong sapling when he couldn't become a towering tree alone, this is the relationship between him and Apocalypse, saying that it is cooperation, and there is no problem with using each other, so there is no loyalty, and there is no betrayal.

"Sir, if we need to talk further, I think you should tell me your name and identity, or else, my inner alertness will tell me that there is no possibility of cooperating with you." Basically, Nathaniel has confirmed what Rocky's idea is, it's going to talk about the rhythm of cooperation, otherwise Rocky wouldn't have come here with him, two people.

Rocky never hid his purpose, and his first reaction after hearing this sentence was to laugh, "Mr. Nathaniel, in fact, we have met since the time of England, and at that time I used another identity to seize the Time Stone. ”

Hearing Rocky's words, Nathaniel's face immediately changed, and the figure who had defeated him in his memory appeared, only to hear him lose his voice: "It turned out to be you, it turned out that you were the guy they called Liszt......" Just when he was surprised, he suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute, this is your true face, right?" And you're definitely not going to call Liszt, are you? Tell me who you are, see that girl named Jean Grey is obedient to you, you are one of the few leaders among the mutants? Except for Magneto and Professor X, it seems that I have never heard of such a young person, right? ”

Hearing Nathaniel guessing his identity, Rocky shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to guess, I can't get along with mutants at all, to tell you the truth, even if I tell you what my identity is, you won't know me." Maybe you've heard of me, but knowing who I am won't do you any good, and it might even be dangerous, can you believe me? ”

Believe it? Nathaniel naturally believed it, seeing that Rocky said it so solemnly, he naturally would not disobey the other party's intentions, but he didn't know the identity of the other party, and the vigilance in his heart could not be let go, and he had reservations when he spoke.

"Since you don't want to say it, I naturally won't ask, but do you think this cooperation between us is still sincere? Of course, you can also force me to submit and make me your lackey. However, even as your lackey, I will not do my best to help you, I hope you can understand this truth! "Being a captive and doing it so justifiably, Rocky is the first time to see such a person, and at the same time I admire Nathaniel's courage with a dead face.

However, Nathaniel is undoubtedly smart, he knows what Rocky wants, so as soon as he speaks, Rocky can't refuse him, but will Rocky accept Nathaniel's initiative? Naturally not, for him, it is the right thing to take the initiative in his own hands, so he heard him smile coldly and said: "Mr. Nathaniel, I think I can't accept your threat. I'd rather destroy a possible intelligence point than get an uncle, and I hope you understand that! ”

Seeing that Rocky was not threatened by himself at all, Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh dryly, "Naturally, I won't threaten you, but you need to give me peace of mind, otherwise, how can I do my best to do my best for you?" ”

This kind of belongs to the typical category of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and it is quite a bit of a posture of relying on the old and selling the old, it can only be said that Nathaniel is too old and too elve, thinking that he can suppress Rocky with his negotiation experience, but how does he know that Rocky has lived longer than him, if he is an old monster, then Rocky is undoubtedly an old monster that has not died for thousands of years, an old monster that has only lived for hundreds of years, how can it pose any threat to Rocky? Still trying to think that you can suppress Rocky? It's just a joke.

"Since you don't care, then I'll tell you, my name is Rocky? Azazler, if you've heard the name. ”

Nathaniel's face turned pale when he heard the name. (To be continued.) )
