Chapter 56: Raven

A terrible chill struck Victor from the bottom of his heart, causing him to open his eyes and look at the white ceiling overhead.

This is a sense of crisis that he has never had in more than ten years, and it is strange that he has been awakened many times since he came here, and he has always trusted this intuition of crisis in his body, which has protected him from many fatal dangers.

But this time he didn't know where this sense of crisis came from, he had no clue, he thought it was Emma who was in danger, but whenever this sense of crisis appeared, he flew to look for Emma, only to find that it was normal.

He opened his eyes and found that it was already night, he pushed off the quilt on his body, got up from the bed, his ears listened carefully to the movements around him, and found that Yiqiē was as usual, next to his room was Leah's room, Leah and Little Bear were in a room, his ears told him, their breathing was very steady, and they looked like they were sleeping very sweetly.

He found that he seemed to be unable to sleep, he looked at the clock above his head, and found that it was just after 2 o'clock in the morning, and there was the footsteps of security patrols outside, he sat down on the sofa and poured himself a cup of hot water.

The room was empty, and it was very cold, and there was no comfort of home at all, he thought about it, and the whole person became transparent, and then opened the door and walked out secretly.

His voice was so soft that no one noticed it, and the lights in the passage were bright, but there was no hint of warmth. He walked down the aisle of the cold room into the distance.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of slight footsteps, which could be heard through the guò sound, and the owner of the footsteps looked cautious, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

He was a little curious about who was like him, who had no intention of sleeping for a long night, so he followed the footsteps.

It didn't take long for his eyes to see the transparent glass on the wall, and he saw a blue figure appear on the grass outside the CIA's secret research and development base, and then the moonlight could clearly see that it was Raven.

She was wearing a thick velvet coat at the moment, and the night was still very cold at this time, perhaps this was the origin of Victor's coldness.

At this moment, Raven did not have the charming smile that she often saw during the day, nor did she have that beautiful appearance, and the whole person was like a confused girl, looking at the moon in the sky, recovering her original blue skin, and there was a terrible thing like fish scales on her skin.

"Looks like you're confused?"

Suddenly, the sound startled Raven, and her skin was like a wave, and in an instant her terrible appearance was gone, and she became the sweet blonde beauty she had seen during the day.

She turned her head and saw Victor standing behind her.

Raven, who was found to be secret, looked cramped, she glanced at Victor nervously, and said with a twinkle in her eyes: "Hello, Mr. Victor?" Did you just see that? ”

"Yes, I saw it." Victor shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't look too surprised, he had even seen Ben's terrifying appearance of stone-like skin, not to mention Raven at the moment.

"I always thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep at night, but I didn't expect you to be too." Victor said, reaching out to the soft grass, looking up at the nervous Raven and saying, "Don't be so nervous, in fact, you're not the first person I've seen with such a strange appearance." ”

Victor used the word bizarre because he couldn't praise Raven's terrible appearance as beautiful as Magneto did in the movie, Raven's blue skin Victor didn't feel anything terrible, but the scales on her body really made him unacceptable, terrifying, like a burn.

Victor's words made Raven's eyes light up, she stared at him intently, and asked, "Can you talk to me?" ”

"Of course." Victor pointed to the grass beside him and said politely, "Sit down, this story will be very long, and it will be very tiring to stand." ”

Raven looked at Victor with a strange look, and then bent down to sit next to Victor.

"Alright, let's get down to the conversation." Victor looked at the very confused Raven and said slowly: "I think you said that I have lived for a long, long time, so I have met many people, and the first person with the same strange appearance as you is called Arcel, which I met when I liberated Paris in World War II. ”

Raven listened to Victor's description very quietly, and slowly fell into it, the first story that Victor briefly told him, naturally was the Red Devil, he gave Raven a brief description of the scene when he met the Red Devil for the first time, and the battle with him was very thrilling and exciting, and Raven's eyes were surprised when he heard it.

"What happened to him?" After Victor finished speaking, Raven asked curiously.

"He's Sebastian Shaw's right-hand man, and he's always fought for their incredible goal of mutant independence." Victor said this in a tone as if he were describing a couple of fools.

When Raven heard that the Red Devil was Shaw's subordinate, her expression changed, and then she was no longer interested in the Red Devil, and then asked, "What about the second one?" ”

"Oh, that's a good guy, a great guy. He is different from us, he was originally an ordinary person, but then an unexpected incident caused his genes to mutate and turn him into a monster. ”

"Monsters?" Raven listened intently to Victor's story, and her tone was a little terrifying.

"Yes, his skin has become horrible, like a stone, his family is gone, and his wife has left him because of her looks."

"And what happened to him?" Raven is more curious about the ending of this story than the Red Devil.

"He became a hero." Different from the ending of the Red Devil who finally became a murderer, Raven's eyes lit up, and Victor, who only listened, said with high interest: "He worked hard with his partners to save New York, and was recognized by everyone and became a hero of the whole New York." ”

Victor's words made Raven's heart excited, and her eyes were blurred, as if she was thinking about whether she could be accepted by everyone if she wanted to be like the guy in Victor's story.

She didn't know the answer, so she asked Victor with expectation.

Unfortunately, Victor's answer was hopeless.

"No...... No matter how hard we try, we will not be recognized by humans. ”

"Why?" Raven asked incomprehensibly.

"It's simple, Raven." Victor's tone became cold, and the answer was cruel and unacceptable.

"Because we're not human, we're mutants, that's enough. You can imagine what do you think they would think of us when humans one day discover that there is a species of higher rank than them in this world, and that they have great power, and that Eric, Charles, and I can destroy them at will? ”

Victor's words made Raven fall into deep thought, and her face turned pale, as if she had the terrible end in her mind.

"Humanity will ruin us."

"That's right!"

Victor's attitude towards getting along between mutants and humans is definitely not as optimistic as Charles, but is a little closer to Magneto, because he knows that mutants are a higher-level species invasion for humans, and with the discovery of deformities in this society, there will be more and more mutants, maybe humans don't care much now, but when the power of mutants develops to the point where humans feel threatened, they will not hesitate to destroy mutants, which cannot be changed.

Even though the later X-Men have been sitting and trying to live together peacefully between humans and mutants, in Victor's opinion, it is all a slow death, of no use, and there may be peace, but it is definitely only temporary.

Humans are always hostile to people who are superior to them!

"I'm sorry for being so late and I'm telling you such a horrible thing." Seeing Raven's pale face, Victor felt a little apologetic in his heart, saying such a desperate fact in the middle of the night was indeed very unpleasant for him, but this is what Victor had to say, because he was very sympathetic to Raven in the plot, especially in the reversal of the future, betrayed by the people he believed in, and left with a limp, which really makes people feel very sympathetic.

At this time, Raven was still a little naïve, she looked at Victor pleadingly, and asked expectantly: "It must be a way, right, mutants and humans?" ”

"No...... Unless there are no mutants in this world, or like we are now, never let humanity know about our existence. ”

Victor's voice fell, and suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Raven, what are you doing here?"
