Chapter 554
A favor that can help, and there will be no worries at all? It seems that this is what Rocky meant from Charles's words, so could it really be so? Although Charles has always played the role of a loyal elder, the fact is that he is very wise, and it can even be said that he is sometimes too rational, of course, this is a good way to say, and the bad way to say it is that he is very cold-blooded, and even makes certain sacrifices when necessary, which is the sadness of smart people, because they know how to exchange small sacrifices for big victories.
"I want to hear what the hell is that made you run this trip." Rocky is not the kind of ruthless person, after all, he and Charles are also old acquaintances, and the two have worked with each other many times, and he doesn't want to be so ruthless, and he doesn't care about the old relationship at all.
"I wrote to you last time, and I believe you also know that we mutants are going to face a catastrophe, this catastrophe is caused by an unknown person, I can't predict where he is and what he will do, but I know that if he succeeds, then not only us mutants, but even humans will inevitably suffer from life." At this point, Charles paused for a moment and said what he meant, "That's why I chose to go hand in hand with Eric. However, the conflict between the Brotherhood and the X-Men has been going on for a long time, and you should be very clear about this, and others are good to say, but Monroe has been very emotionally unstable recently, she has changed a lot, although she is still her, but she is more paranoid than before, which is incomprehensible, but helpless. ”
"So, you need me to persuade her in my own capacity so that she can let go of the mustard so that there will be no obstacles to your cooperation, right? If I'm right, it seems like that's how it should be, right? Sure enough, as he had thought before, Rocky was also a little hesitant for a while. This favor is very simple, you only need to come forward to say a word, but it also means that the danger of your exposure has increased a little more, although the storm girl is not the kind of person with a broken mouth, but Rocky, who does not trust a person completely by nature, cannot do this, this is not his ruthlessness. It's not that he's suspicious, it's a nature of self-preservation.
So now Rocky seems to be very entangled, on the one hand he wants to go, on the other hand, he doesn't really want to go, hesitating there, motionless.
"I know you're hesitant because your current identity can't be easily revealed, I don't know what you're brewing, but I know it. Just one appearance won't get in the way of your plans. Moreover, I don't understand why you are acting in secret, you can return in the right and bright way, and let those weak-hearted guys automatically show their prototypes, isn't this a good way? ”
Charles's proposal made Rocky stunned, and he suddenly felt that what he was doing now was indeed too deliberate, really fearless of everything, so why should he care if he would be calculated by them? When the strength reaches a certain level, why bother with calculations?
At this moment, Rocky undoubtedly fell into deep thought. Was he thinking about his previous actions because he was afraid? It doesn't seem to be. But what are you really worried about, as if it is a subconscious behavior, what makes you so scruples?
For a while, Rocky also couldn't figure it out, but he simply didn't think about the things he couldn't understand, and thinking too much was just adding to his troubles.
Charles's words gave Rocky some inspiration. So in return, Rocky decided to accede to his request, "Your request, I granted." ”
Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Thank you." You've undoubtedly done me another great favor, and if you succeed this time, even if you don't help, I think we mutants will be able to get through this, and I trust Eric as much as he believes in me. ”
For Charles's words, Rocky pouted a little noncommittally, he didn't believe that Magneto would be sincere, although these two are old friends, but Eric's cunning is something Charles never imagined, he never knows what his old friend has become in the process of so many years of differences with his philosophy, at least Rocky can clearly realize that if Charles can still let his sensibility overpower reason, then Eric this guy just doesn't have any sensibility at all, when necessary, Even his own children can be used and given up, so who can be trusted and who is not, Charles does not know.
Westwest County, New York, the nest of the X-Men. Rocky, who has not been here for a long time, looked at the familiar scenery in front of him, and the whole person seemed a little trance, when he first came here, it was a few years ago, he started in this world, everything was not what it is now, there was no supreme power, no feared strength, none of these, but there was no doubt that he was very happy at that time, at least he didn't need to worry about those things that were intriguing all day long, and he didn't need to worry about whether he needed to face the calculations of those people in the dark, If you want to get it, you must lose it, and it has always been true, is ambition really just to satisfy your own desires? It seems that it is indeed to satisfy desires, but can desires be satisfied and bring happiness to themselves? Until now, Rocky didn't actually feel how happy these were for him, this was just a spice for him to achieve his goal in order to keep himself from being bored on the road to becoming stronger, he wanted to go home, he wanted to see the truth of the matter, and wanted to know what happened to Valkyria in the end, and whether she had not been kicked out of the divine realm? She's still waiting for herself.
His expression began to drift into a trance, and Rocky's mind went back to the past, but the place where he was was was already different.
"You have a lot of feelings, obviously you have only been away for a few months, but you feel as if you have been away for decades, centuries, or even thousands ......of years" Charles looked at the deep-looking Rocky, the expression on his face was a little meaningful, maybe he couldn't guess Rocky's origin and experience, but there was always a feeling in his heart that Rocky's origin would definitely not be so simple. After all, his psychic power is very strong, and it is a very normal thing to have a kind of spiritual sense, but he will not ask anything with this feeling, and he also knows that Rocky will not choose to answer anything, and Rocky's secret does not seem to be willing to share with anyone, saying that he is arrogant? Eccentric? No, because no one can really understand him, and no one can really understand him. He doesn't need anyone to understand.
"Feelings? It doesn't seem to be a feeling, but it is associated with something else. After all, you haven't changed at all here, people are still those people, the academy is still that academy, and it hasn't changed. With a hint of amusement in saying this, Rocky dissipated his reluctance to share his thoughts with others. Walking slowly towards the once familiar but unfamiliar teaching building.
Following behind Charles, Rocky pushed the wheelchair with his hand, his eyes roamed back and forth, and a familiar face appeared in his sight, Katie the Phantom Cat, this little girl seemed to have grown a lot in a few months, and her face looked more mature than before, out of that natural childishness, obviously. This girl has not been doing particularly well lately.
Katie's figure appeared in Rocky's eyes, and Katie's eyes also appeared in Rocky's figure, she didn't know the Asian who pushed the professor's wheelchair, and her eyes looked a little puzzled, but she still greeted the professor politely.
Charles smiled slightly, without pausing, obviously unwilling to introduce who Rocky behind him was now. As he had promised before, he would not divulge Rocky's current identity. All he needs is Rocky to convince Storm.
So, in Katie's doubts, they gradually drifted away, to which she shook her head, a little inexplicable. But she didn't take it to heart, put away her doubts, she slowly walked away, not far away, there were a few friends she knew well. With a smile on her face, she slowly greeted them, this was her academy life, even if it was a big thing, she couldn't stop the smile.
As Charles walked into the principal's office, Rocky sat down by the window, silently looking at the scenery outside the window.
Charles closes his eyes and uses his telekinesis to summon Storm, informing her that an old man is waiting.
The Storm Girl was very curious about the old man in Charles's mouth, she came to the principal's office very quickly, obviously very curious about the old man in the professor's mouth, and even faintly hoped that this old man would be the person she had been thinking about for a long time.
Opening the door of the principal's office, the storm girl looked at Rocky by the window at first glance, and when she saw his face now, she was surprised at first, and then disappointed, although she didn't know why Charles knew Liszt in Rocky's disguise, but it was not the person she was looking for, she was indeed disappointed, subconsciously, she wanted to leave, but since the professor asked her to come, she would not leave.
"What the professor said is indeed an old man!" While saying this, I also added a sentence in my heart, but it was not the one I imagined.
But could it really not be the one Stormgirl imagined? Rocky had a smile on his face, he suddenly felt very funny, and wanted to tease the storm girl in front of him, who had never been smiling, "Yes, Miss Monroe, you can't think of me, right?" ”
"I really didn't expect it! Why would Mr. Liszt know where our base is? Or ......" Stormgirl turned her gaze to Charles, undoubtedly wondering if Liszt was the secret hand arranged by Professor Charles.
Charles shook his head with a smile, "Monroe, I can't please him, you must know that it took me a lot of effort for him to come to the academy." ”
Stormtrove thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, the strength and arrogance shown by Rocky were not something that Professor Charles could drive,
"Why should Professor Charles be presumptuous? Know that your request is not so easy to refuse. Rocky shook his head with a faint smile, and set his eyes on Storm Girl, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Seriously, Miss Monroe, Professor Charles really cares about you, I have never seen someone who cares so much about his subordinates, he has done a lot for it." ”
The Storm Girl was silent, how could she not know what Charles had done for her and the road he had paved? It is precisely because she knows that she restrains herself so much, and it is precisely because this kindness is too heavy that she suppresses her nature of yearning for freedom.
Charles is genuinely happy that Stormgirl can be rebellious, because he doesn't want to be the culprit who kills Stormgirl's nature, but for now, she needs to be patient for a while, and after the most difficult stage is over, everything will return to the right path.
"Seriously, when Professor Charles asked me to come, I was hesitant because I didn't know if I should come or not, after all, I had my own concerns. But seeing you now, I think I need to make a trip......" As he spoke, Rocky slowly got up and reached out to wipe his face from his previous life, recovering his current face under the shocked gaze of Charles and Storm.
Seeing this longing face, the corners of her mouth with a familiar smile, Storm Girl couldn't help but look a little stupid, "I thought...... You're no longer here, I thought you were missing and I won't be able to find you anymore, but now it seems, I seem to be ...... Wrong ......"
Rocky smiled and said, "No one can stop me from leaving, just as no one can stop me from returning, if I want to return, none of them can stop it, and take back everything that belongs to me, just like now, I'm trying to get it back, and it's my own business, no one needs to interfere, so you know what I mean, don't you?" ”
The Storm Girl was stunned, of course he understood what Rocky meant, this was telling her not to affect his emotions because of his affairs, in other words, he knew his thoughts, but he couldn't accept them yet.
As a result, the Storm Girl's face became gloomy, but she recovered after a while, and nodded with a little relief and as a matter of course, "Yes, I really don't need to worry about your affairs......" Speaking of this, she paused, and the words suddenly changed, "But you don't have to worry about my affairs, because this is my own freedom!" I'm happy to do it......"
Rocky was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, he had never noticed that Stormgirl was so unexpectedly paranoid. His gaze turned to Charles, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that my persuasion has not helped, Professor Charles." ”
Charles also had a headache when he heard this, "I don't know what to do about this matter, you can talk about the rest......"
At this time, Charles chose to run away, leaving space to Rocky and Storm. (To be continued.) )
