Chapter 225: History and Change
In Westchester County, in front of the gate of Xavier's School for Gifted Children, an orange taxi was parked here, and a tall, handsome young man stepped out of the taxi.
"Whew~ It's finally here, it's really troublesome to take the car." Muttering to himself, the young man paid for the car and walked to the school's black character gate.
"I'm Hodge, looking for Professor Charles." Reaching out and pressing the pager at the door, Hodge surveyed his surroundings while quietly waiting for the people inside to come out.
It's very remote, not far to the left of Hodge is a sparse woodland, through the red brick fence and woodland, Hodge can also faintly see an extremely large old mansion.
To the right of Hodge was a forest, and the forest was connected to some low hills, and Hodge used his ability a little to see that in the center of the forest there was a large hubo, and the lake was extremely clear, with waves of faint water streaks blowing in the breeze, glowing comfortably in the golden sunlight.
Seeing this scene, Hodge couldn't help but feel the urge to get a tent there and play for two or three days.
Hodge sighed at the scenery and reluctantly withdrew his gaze, turning his head to look at the black iron gate, in the gravel path inside the iron gate, a man in a black leather jacket, his hair standing upside down like a steel needle, exuding a vicissitudes of life all over his body, was walking towards him with steady steps.
"Hey, Logan, you're finally willing to get your hair in order." Seeing Logan, Hodge waved his hand and greeted with a smile.
"No way. I don't pay much attention to my image now. Logan shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly at Hodge's teasing, and then helped Hodge open the door.
"That's right. When was the last time we met? As he led Hodge inside, Logan suddenly asked.
"Yesterday." Hodge looked at Logan, who looked thoughtful, and didn't say much.
"By the way, what the hell are you looking for me, Charles always speaks in secret, and you only spoke half of what you said yesterday."
"Do you believe what I say? I'm from the future. Listening to Hodge mention the main purpose of the day, Rogan asked. The expression also changed from indifferent to stern.
Hodge narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Although I can't tell what I will do in the future, I think there are some things that need to be prepared in advance. ”
Look at Hodge with a half-believing look. Logan also sighed in his heart, but he didn't blame Hodge, after all, he had to come up with some evidence that could make him believe in himself.
It's a pity that he doesn't really know what Hodge is doing twenty years later, and he doesn't know where he is.
But now he didn't have to think about it to explain to Hodge. He had already explained everything to the professor. And it's very clear.
After all, he had let the professor use his abilities to enter his brain and read all his memories.
"Well, believe it or not, after meeting Professor Charles, I think you'll believe what I say." Logan sighed a little depressedly, and then stopped saying anything to Hodge, and sped up the speed of his feet.
Looking at Logan, who looked depressed, Hodge grinned. Followed. Hodge actually believed Logan's words, but there seems to be something wrong with this storyline. Because in Hodge's memory, this incident should have happened much earlier, but now it has come to this point in time.
"It seems that the strength of my butterfly wing fan is a bit too strong." Hodge said secretly.
After following Logan around the course of nearly five minutes, Hodge met Professor Charles with a kind face in a study-like room.
By the professor's side, he wore sunglasses, energetic laser eyes, and Jean-Grey, who looked a little haggard.
"Where's Auroro?"
As soon as he entered the door, Hodge was surprised not to find the silver-haired woman, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Stormgirl has gone to teach the children." Charles said with a smile as he sat in a wheelchair.
"Oh! So what are you looking for me, I'm very confused right now. For Storm Girl, Hodge just asked casually, and when he got the answer, Hodge nodded and went straight to the point.
"That's right."
Seeing that Hodge began to get down to business, Professor Charles also began to be stern: "In twenty years, there will be a kind of machine called 'Sentinel'. ”
"This kind of machine is very powerful, we don't know who made it, but it targets superheroes and mutants, whether that person is awake or not, this kind of machine qì person can recognize from the human body whether the other party contains the 'X' factor, and then it will be wiped out."
"Machine qì people? Can that thing stand up to us? Before Hodge could ask a question, Cyclops, who was standing next to Professor Charles, spoke, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Don't underestimate them, Scott." Charles shook his head, his eyes were solemn, and continued: "They are not ordinary robots, they are made of a special synthetic material, this material is not clear to us at the moment, but the only thing we know is that they can change themselves at will, and when facing mutants with different abilities, they choose the ability to restrain themselves to fight." ”
"Restraint!?" Cyclops was startled for a moment, then asked, "I'm curious how they're going to restrain me?" Ready to gouge out my eyes while I'm sleeping? ”
For Scott's question, except for Professor Charles and Logan, Hodge and Jean were stunned for a moment, obviously they couldn't think of any ability to restrain Scott's laser eye for the time being.
Professor Charles didn't open his mouth for the question of laser eyes, but turned his head to look at Logan, whose dark pupils were a little complicated.
"Scott, tell you the sad news that in Logan's memory, you'll be dead in two years."
Charles's heavy tone made Laser Eye's face pale, and Jean, who had been standing on the side without speaking, became nervous, looking at the professor he had always respected in disbelief.
Seeing that his two students were looking at him nervously, the corners of Professor Charles's mouth raised slightly, and his words changed: "But you are lucky." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, Charles didn't cover it up, and opened his mouth to explain to everyone: "Speaking of which, the cause of this qiē is still because of me, if it weren't for me, Scott wouldn't have had an accident." ”
"Impossible!" The first to stand up and argue was Scott himself, who respected Professor Charles very, very much, and he did not believe that Professor Charles could be the cause of his own death.
"Don't get excited, kid." Looking at the excited Laser Eyes, Charles shook his head and continued, "Have you noticed that something has been wrong with Jean since he stopped Magneto on Liberty Island? Professor Charles said, looking at Jean, who was haggard.
"I just think ......" Seeing that the topic seemed to turn to herself, Jean quickly shook her head.
"Actually, after Magneto successfully launched the genetic mutant, the power in your body that has been sealed by me has awakened, and I originally thought that you would slowly absorb that terrifying power, and finally catch up and surpass me."
"But I was wrong." When Professor Charles said this, he was slightly distracted, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
"Since reading Logan's memories, I have discovered that your power has grown rapidly because of something in my hand. If Logan hadn't 'come back,' then history would have gone on as he remembered. ”
"But now, we need to change something." Charles sighed deeply, his expression was not abnormal, and he turned to Hodge and said, "Please come with me, I think you will be very interested in something in my hand." (To be continued......)
