251 Oath
When Eric looked at the landscape seventy years ago, a pair of invisible eyes searched for him seventy years later, he was the master of the mind and one of the strongest mutants, but this time on his home turf, Professor Xavier met a complete defeat.
"Still haven't found it?" With a sigh, the search room was full of light and shadow, and seeing the professor shaking his head, pinching the skin between his eyebrows tiredly, John forced himself to hold back the frustration in his heart and asked the old man.
"Nope." After pinching his forehead hard for a while, the professor regained his spirits, he had searched many times these days, rummaged through every corner of the blue planet, from the far reaches of space to the deep depths of the sea, and spent a lot of effort paying attention to places that were previously difficult to access, but never found any trace of the man.
Maybe the banishment of an old friend sent Eric to the Otherworld—the professor guessed, but it was hard to explain to the students.
When Stephen did it that day, his attempt to spy on the virus mutant was frustrated, and the flow of information transmitted by trillions of virus cells with simple judgment ability poured in like magma in an instant, desperately tormenting his brain, as if it had been doused with boiling water, and in that case, it was impossible to meddle in Doctor Strange's actions.
What's more, he had had the experience of being hostile to Eric in the past, and although the professor had a clear conscience this time, Stephen was indeed his friend, and he didn't know about the young people in the academy who had warned Eric in advance. If you say it all. What will they think of themselves? After the last storm, the old man really didn't want to be abandoned by his closest people in his lifetime.
Unable to explain the truth to the students and convince Doctor Strange. So now he can only hope that Eric will find a way to solve it himself.
Fortunately, this time the professor no longer had to face the disappointed children, and the two of them had just walked out of the danger room, and a red slender figure appeared in front of them.
"Jean!" John cried out, and for a moment his tears almost flowed out, and he managed to hold back it.
The tutor suddenly disappeared, and he was the one who took the most pressure and was Eric's most important student. During this time, all aspects of affairs were carried on the Burning Man - the agreement with the New York police had to be fulfilled, and the Boston factory had to pay attention. More and more of his compatriots needed to be entertained, and at the same time he had to deal with the pressures that arose from all sides - he was not prepared for it and was put in the position of new leader.
Now he finally knows that this position is not for everyone. The guru sat very well because he had the wisdom and strength to control it.
In order to protect the career of his mentor, he gritted his teeth and survived, and replaced by the burning man John in the past, who probably had already completely collapsed.
Now, though, he's finally found a strong backing.
"I'm back, Eric will be fine." Qin had recovered from the chaos of her personality that had risen to strength, and now her strength was stronger than ever, and her understanding of the world was clearer.
"I can feel Eric's magnetic field everywhere in here. Although his will is not here, his power will naturally call out and pull him back from the lost space. It's just going to take a little time. Qin said lightly, and gave the order to the young man. Eric's business, I'll take care of it. As for the affairs of the academy, John will figure it out, and I want you to take care of everything outside before he returns. ”
She gives orders like a proud queen. The fiery red head burned as if in the void, and anyone who felt her determination. All of them show obedience without exception.
John nodded, and took the lead in leaving with his classmates, this time did happen a lot, compared to the temptation of the outside world, his troubles came more from within, from his best friend, fortunately, Qin's return made his heart finally settle, and now it was time to make up his mind.
Leaving the underground space and returning to the main building, the current academy is no longer as deserted as it used to be, and there are children moving everywhere in the corridors, these are mutant children from all over the country, the number has reached more than four hundred, and it is gradually growing over time.
Originally, according to Eric's plan, they could be better placed, but the events of some time ago made people panic, although in the semi-closed academy, these children also instinctively felt that something was wrong, and looked at the adults with timid eyes every day, John had to hide his worries deep in his heart, and make a casual appearance on the surface.
But now he finally doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Saying hello to his younger siblings and watching them happily run outside, John and his party came to the conference room, in addition to the original boys and girls, there were also many new important partners, more than 30 people occupied most of the room.
As soon as he closed the door to the conference room, John called out to Bobby.
"We won't consider your last mention of yì, please tell Miss Ewercht clearly that the factory in Boston is the brainchild of the boss, and I will never hand it over, please let her die!"
His tone was very stern, in the impression of his classmates, the fire man was still so unkind to the ice man, they used to be close friends, best friends, even if John later overcame Babi, the two friends with opposite abilities still cared for each other like brothers, but in the days when Eric disappeared, the shape shì changed slightly.
Miss Ewercht, Lady Mora's niece, Christine, was a journalist with her mother's surname who had a honeymoon with the Academy, when she reported on the persecution of mutants, and in return, Eric gave her all the scoops, until the female reporter was promoted to the administrative director of her newspaper, and the relationship between the two sides faded.
Later, Peter's colleague Eddie gave up some of the reporting power, and Mora instigated the professor to attack Eric, and the young lady never came to the door again, John thought it would be difficult to see her again, who knew that this powerful reporter somehow got into a relationship with Babi.
On behalf of a certain force, the female reporter made a request to buy the entire production process of the Boston factory with a sum of cash and shares.
Strictly speaking, the purchase amount cannot be said to be lucrative, enough to solve the financial pressure caused by the resettlement of his compatriots, but John is Eric's chosen successor, and he knows that the profit generated by this factory is secondary, and the most important aspect is to maintain the relationship between all aspects - the academy and S.H.I.E.L.D., the academy and exploration space, and Osborne Industries and even Stark, all companies that need grade magnetic materials must accept the reality of mutants entering the business world. If you only win the gratitude of ordinary people, then this gratitude is as illusory as a bubble floating on the water, it comes and goes quickly, and it will not last long, and only by continuing to penetrate into all fields of society can it be said that it has truly taken root in human beings.
What is a sum of money compared to this goal?
John looked at Bobby with unprecedented stern eyes, and Bobby's mouth moved, trying to justify himself, but when he met the burning man's gaze, his courage suddenly melted like the remnants of snow meet the blazing sun. In addition, due to his personal relationship with Christine, his girlfriend Mary announced that she had broken up with him, and Katie also had an opinion about him, and now he has no time to make up for his mistakes, how can he have the courage to object?
At the end of the day, Babi is still the old good guy in the traditional sense. Kind, but not strong-willed; There is dedication, but I don't dare to really sacrifice a qiē. He is always hovering between right and wrong, eager to get out of trouble, but reluctant to change reality, firmly bound by the ideas instilled in him, and as easy to be manipulated as a marionette.
In the past, many people valued his composure, but in the changeable shapes, his weaknesses were revealed.
"We're mutants and that's not going to change." John walked to the stage, looked at his companions below one by one, and said solemnly. "The leader used to say that if someone forgets this, humans will come and remind him - this is true, the military, big business, and the blood on the operating table of the hydra can explain it. Now let me add a few words: by your side, are your brothers and sisters; Behind your brothers and sisters are our compatriots. If someone turns his back on his position and tries to be a deserter, then big business will catch him; If big business can't catch him, then there's Hydra; If the Nine Snakes can't do it, then beware - besides the humans, there is me! ”
His voice echoed through the conference room, and everyone heard it clearly, and as they raised their hands to take the oath, Babi had to raise his arms as well.
Maybe everyone who has the blood of the McTargoth family has a natural enmity with mutants, Mora is like that, Christine is like this, and now Major Jeremy is the same.
From New Jersey to New York, and during the time spent at sea, Eric had an appetite for his new custodian.
Mr. Eric, what is your relationship with Miss Carter; What do you think about returning to Europe to fight your countrymen; Do you like Chopin, or do you like Beethoven - all sorts of questions came to him from Major Jeremy's mouth, who always had a pencil and a notebook in his hand, and scribbled on them according to his answers, as if that were to determine Eric's inner thoughts.
"What was I thinking?" Eric said to himself in his heart. "I'm wondering how to tie you to a torpedo and shoot out, dear Mr. Major."
Looking at this Germanophobic and new 6 Gestapo, the mutant leader who set the wrong background once again silently swore an oath in his heart. (To be continued)
