Chapter 56: The Beginning of the War
The next day, Leus got up early in the morning and headed to the mutant mansion in the city.
"Minister, there's something I have to tell you."
Arriving at the Mutant Mansion, Leus met with Minister McCoy, who was about to leave, and told him what had happened in the church last night, except for the note.
"I'm sorry, Magneto is too strong for me to keep him." Leus spoke guiltily.
"It's not your fault." Hank comforted him and suddenly asked, "By the way, I'm about to go to Worthington's room to meet that child, do you want to go with me?" ā
"Okay, I'm curious too." Leus smiled and nodded, wasn't that exactly what he had planned?
The two of them got on the helicopter, and Leus held his laptop in his hand, looking at the satellite surveillance footage from the manor's underground base, which was not difficult to do with Simon's computer power.
Two screens, one playing near Lake Ekari, where Scott the Cyclops hears the call of the Phoenix Maiden. But Leus knew that he would be killed by the rampaging phoenix inside Jean, and Jean would pass out as a result, until Wolverine and Stormgirl arrived and brought her back to the Academy.
Another broadcast is on the Washington National Highway to California, where Magneto is waiting for an incoming escort car a few kilometers away, and in the truck are three criminals, the Witch, the Red Tank, and the Doppelganger. The Demonic Girl can take on anyone's form, the Red Tank has infinite power, and the Clone Man can split his true self. They will succeed in robbing the prison, because Cao Anguo is here, and Li Wusi knows that they will not be successfully attacked by that policeman.
The plot is proceeding according to its original trajectory, which is good...... Leus closed his notebook and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Time flies, and a few hours later, the helicopter is already on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.
The helicopter descended slowly, the wind from the wings of the propeller whipping up the dust on the ground and glistening in the sun.
"Minister McCoy, welcome to the Worthington Room."
They were greeted by a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, wearing a white lab coat and a black trench coat.
"Thank you, Dr. Rao, it's not easy to be here." Hank nodded, and at the same time introduced her to the black-haired young man beside her: "He is Leus, my right-hand man." ā
Dr. Rao nodded to Lius, and then the three of them strode towards the real yĆ n room, and she said, "This is the safest place we can find, so keep the source of the antidote here." ā
"He's a mutant, you understand my position and responsibilities." Hank illustrates one of his intentions.
Dr. Rao nodded, and she replied, "Yes, we understand your difficulties. ā
"How long are you going to keep this kid in?" Hank is not an easy person to persuade.
"Until we map out all of his DNA, because we can only copy it, but we can't make it." Dr. Rao spoke her mind.
Hank nodded, he understood, and asked, "What level of ability does he belong to?" ā
At this time, the three of them had already come to a door, and Dr. Rao entered the code to open the door, and said, "You can't tell. ā
The metal door opened, revealing a white room of nearly 100 square meters, which was very simple, with a bed, two cabinets, a computer, and a bald little boy in a white real dress.
"Jimmy, I'm going to introduce you to someone."
Hearing Dr. Rao's voice, the bald boy who was sitting on a game console turned around, revealing a beautiful face.
"Child, how are you? My name is Hank McCoy. Hank walked up to him, smiled kindly, and held out his hand to him.
"Hey." Jimmy just looked at him with innocent eyes.
However, a strange scene happened, Hank's fur palm shrugged like a blue orangutan, and suddenly the blue fur and skin color quickly receded like a tide, and returned to the white palm of a normal person.
Hank looked at his hand in a daze, and his eyes were full of incredulity.
Dr. Rao watched quietly, but she noticed the young assistant McCoy had brought with him, and there was no change in his face as if he was indifferent to it.
"I'm sorry." Jimmy blinked, knowing that his abilities would surprise first-time acquaintances.
"It's okay...... You've got an amazing ability, thank you, Jimmy. ā
Hank looked at his palm a few times, God knows how many times he had dreamed in his dreams that he had changed back to his normal appearance, but this moment was still a dream come true, albeit only temporarily.
"Strange talent, isn't it?" Dr. Rao said with a smile.
"Indeed, he is amazing." Hank shook his palm, which had turned back into a long hair, and held his grip on it.
While the two were talking, Leus stood behind Jimmy, stretched out a finger, and a ball slowly flew out of the blue and rolled to Jimmy's feet.
The bald boy turned around in surprise and looked at the black-haired boy standing behind him, Leus just smiled slightly, and then quickly followed the two who were about to leave.
Not long after Leus and Minister Hank got on the helicopter and left, Hank also received news that shocked him to the point of anger.
That is, Magneto has kidnapped three mutant criminals, including the Demon Girl, and the mutant antibody potion has been made into a weapon.
"This thing is starting to get out of hand, Lee, what do you think?" Hank was already a politician after all, and quickly controlled his feelings and asked the black-haired boy across from him.
Li Wusi was unusually calm, and he said calmly: "War is inevitable, but whether it will expand to the point where it cannot be controlled depends on our cousin." ā
"You're right, the war is coming, my work is meaningless, it's time to go back to the academy."
Hank sighed, looked at Leus, and said, "I'm sorry, Lee. I'm ready to resign from the president, and your hunter squad will be disbanded, so go back and prepare early, the professor will need us. ā
"I will."
Leus looked out the window, looking down at the earth, his thoughts already drifting into the distance.
Back in Washington, Leus found the Blue Devil in the church last night and rushed back to Vis Manor with him, as the Hunter Squad was soon to be disbanded.
Time was not easy, and as soon as Leus returned to the castle, he immediately summoned everyone in the hall, and his "New World" plan was about to be officially launched.
"Katie, Kerter, William, you guys clean up, the war is going to break out, mutants and humans are about to go to war, we are going to the academy."
Leus dropped a bombshell that stunned everyone, he looked at the beautiful half-breed beauty and said, "Mieko, you will take care of the rest of the children, is it okay?" ā
"Okay, I'll take care of them." Mieko did not hesitate, and after ten months of getting along, she also developed a deep affection for this manor and the people here.
"Why don't you take me there?"
Yue'er's voice sounded in Lius's head, and it was obvious that she was upset again, and was looking at him with pink lips.
"No, it's dangerous, I don't want you to get hurt."
Leus walked over and picked her up, chuckled and kissed Yue'er lightly on the forehead, and she showed a bright smile, happy with the answer.
Katie and the Blue Devil have nothing to prepare, but Leus carries a gray backpack with special equipment that Simon has made for him.
"Alright, let's go."
