Xavier Academy for the Gifted and Gifted, New York, North Suburbs.

Now the entire academy is shrouded in a deep sadness, even if the sun is bright at the moment, but everyone's hearts seem to be shrouded in a dark cloud, and everyone's mood is very sad.

Stormgirl is presiding over the funeral, and according to the professor's wishes, she should take over the academy and become the new headmaster.

"We live in dark ages, and the world is full of fear, hatred, and prejudice. But in every era, there are people who come forward. ”

"Charles Xavier was born into a broken world, a world that he tried to heal, but he could not see the day of success. It seems that the fate of great people is always unable to accomplish their ultimate goal in person. ”

"Charles wasn't just a leader, he was a mentor and a friend. He gives us strong courage when we are afraid, and He leads us to this warm home when we are alone. Although he is gone, his faith and teachings will always be with us. ”

"In the future, no matter where we are, we will always remember his ideal, the ideal of peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants."

The Storm Girl said emotionally, some fragile children were already secretly crying, and Leus gently put his hand on the shoulder of the brown-haired girl beside him, without saying a word.

Everyone stood up, and everyone took turns to lay down a pure carnation in front of the professor's tombstone, and the fragrance of flowers was soothing to everyone.

After the funeral, Leus and Phantom Cat took a walk on the edge of the lawn in front of the college.

"Katie, there's something I want to tell you." Leus stopped.

"What?" Phantom Cat looked at him incomprehensibly.

Leus looked at the huge radar a hundred meters away, with the help of which the brainwave intensifier spread the professor's psychic power to the whole world, he withdrew his gaze and looked at her: "Stay here, the academy is in trouble now, it needs you." ”

“…… Thanks, I will. Katie nodded.

Leus smiled, hugged her affectionately, and waved away.

The brown-haired girl silently looked at his back farther and farther away, and her heart was very chaotic for a while, he just left, leaving himself behind, without the slightest reluctance?

But in fact, Leus didn't just leave, and the Blue Devil was persuaded by him to stay in the academy and help Stormgirl.

So, the four people who came became three, and now in addition to him and William, Burning Man also took his jeep.

Driving all the way to the station, Leus stopped the car, and then said to the burning man in the passenger seat, "John, can you complete the task I said?" ”

"Of course." Burning Man pulled open the car door, waved at his best brother, and replied without understanding, "I don't understand why your request is so weird, but I'll do my best to help you." ”

"Thank you."

The doors closed, the car started, and Leus continued his arrangement.

On the interstate road to California, William, who was 1.7 meters tall, was already a strong young man and handsome, but he was full of doubts.

"Sir, where are we going?" The future Lord of the Sky found out that they were not on their way home, and finally couldn't help but ask Leus.

"San Francisco Bay, we'll rent a yacht, have a seafood dinner, walk around Alcatraz Island, and finally go home, what do you think of that plan?" Leus replied with a smile.

"It's good, but I don't think it's right." William shook his head.

Leus became interested and asked, "Tell me, why do you think something is wrong?" ”

"Because it's not like you, sir." William pondered the right words.

"Oh? So what kind of person do you think I am. Leus also wants to know what he looks like in the eyes of others.

It's easy to get bored with the endless highways, and Leus feels a little bored, so he turns on the car stereo, and the road plays "Stairway to Heaven" by the most popular rock band of the 70s, Led Zeppelin.

"Purposefulness!"

William recalled everything about Leus, from the first sight of him covered in blood, to the current calm expression of him driving, William easily found a commonality.

"Everything he does, every step he takes, and every word he says is full of purpose, just like ...... A machine qì people. ”

William's answer surprised Leus, but he was a self-reflective person, so Leus was silent.

"I'm sorry, sir, did I say something wrong?" William was a little uneasy, because he respected Leus, the black-haired young man who was only two years older than him.

"No, no, you're right."

Leus shook his head suddenly, he smiled, looked at the highway horizon in the distance, and sighed: "Indeed, any of my actions and words are purposeful and planned, and in my life principle, no matter what I do, if I prepare in advance, I have a high chance of success, on the contrary, it is easy to fail." ”

"Sounds really great." William hesitated for a moment, but decided to say, "But sir, don't you feel very tired of living like this?" ”

The soothing prelude to the music had passed, and the flaming metal rock part was coming, and Leus was intoxicated by it, only smiling at William's words.

"What if you could only live if you were so tired?"

This simple sentence came out of his mouth, but it contained too much information, and no matter how shallow William's life experience was, he could also hear the deep tiredness and unyielding strong belief in it.

Our gentleman...... What kind of secret is he carrying?

Leus didn't speak anymore, and William didn't dare to disturb, just quietly thinking about the conversation just now.

Because he has deeply realized that the process of determining a person's psychological maturity does not depend on his biological age, the image of Leus in his mind is like a mountain with an increasing altitude.

There was silence in the car for a while, and suddenly Leus's cell phone rang, and he glanced at the caller and pressed the speakerphone.

"Ken, here we go?"

"Yes, I'm outside the FDA building, and the demonstrators have begun to organize."

"Okay, find that girl, and then take her to the manor as I said, and Mieko will arrange the rest."

"No other tasks?"

"Yes, after that's done, I'll give you a week's vacation, I remember you've always wanted to go surfing in Hawaii."

"Hehe, the boss still cares about me, don't worry, this mission is guaranteed to be completed beautifully."

In the crowd under a tall building in Washington, D.C., a tall man wearing a gray trench coat and a scarf around his neck, dressed in a very British style, put his hung up phone back in his pocket, and began to scan the crowd.
