Here Rocky is resting, and after Laura returns to the hotel in a huff, she is pulled by Emma and asks if she is in trouble outside again? In this regard, of course, Laura would not say that she was in trouble, and she really didn't have a chance to provoke others, so she was angry with Rocky, so she naturally told Emma what had just happened.
Hearing Laura's words, Emma fell into deep thought, and the young Asian American in Laura's mouth gave her a very familiar feeling. It's so mysterious, like the man who walked with him in the basement of the park.
After having a guess in his heart, he heard Emma ask seemingly casually, "Do you remember what that person looks like?" ”
Naturally, Laura didn't think much about it when she heard this, and told Emma about Rocky's changed appearance with her excellent memory.
After hearing Laura's description, Emma was already convinced that the person Laura had met was the same person she had met before. At this moment, her mind couldn't help but come alive, but she remembered that when the Time Stone was taken away by them, it was his face of chagrin, but hearing Laura's words just now, it seemed that the guy had a similar stone in his hand?
So, the Time Stone has fallen into the hands of this guy? Isn't the goal clear?
Emmamo rubbed her chin at her, she needed to make sure that the stone in Rocky's hand was indeed what they were looking for, otherwise the Brotherhood could not afford to provoke such a formidable foe for nothing.
"You said before that she told you where he lived. Is that right? Emma asked suddenly, with some urgency on her face.
Laura nodded, feeling Emma's strangeness at this time, she couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "Why are you suddenly so concerned with this guy?" Do you know each other? If you knew, how did I not know there was such a person? ”
Emma waved her hand. "How can I know him?" However, I know that he has something to do with our mission. ”
Hearing Emma say this, Laura's eyes lit up, "You mean, as long as we find that guy, the mission can be completed?" ”
Laura nodded, and said with a determined expression: "Although I'm not sure if the stone in his hand is what we're looking for, the probability in my heart is at least eighty percent." ”
Hearing this, Laura was even more urgent than Emma just now. "So what are we waiting for? Why don't you go to him now! ”
With that, she rushed to the door of the room, looking like she was going to run to the Hilton Hotel.
Emma hurriedly stopped her and said with a wry smile: "I said Laura, can you not be so impulsive?" If we go like this, not to mention that we are not prepared at all, the other party is likely to be ready to work. Therefore, we need to think long-term. ”
Again. It is because you are too cautious that you have missed so many opportunities in the past. If not. The X Academy is long gone, and the power of our Brotherhood is able to radiate the entire world and establish a mutant nation! Laura was very dissatisfied with Emma's long-term advice, and in her opinion, there was no need for caution. Defeating and crushing the opponent with strength is the fastest and most effective way.
After all, she is a girl, and her life experience is too short, but she doesn't know that if her strength is insufficient, she will not be eaten by a tiger instead of fighting a tiger. At that time, it will be a wrong move, and the whole game will be lost. Emma's choice is undoubtedly correct, Rocky is just waiting for them to take the initiative to come to the door, if it is all Laura thinking like this, wouldn't it be just in line with Rocky's appetite? Fortunately, Emma was there and stopped her in time.
Hearing Laura's complaint, Emma couldn't help but sigh, "Laura, I don't know how your father taught you, but I would love to say that he is not a competent father, otherwise it would not have caused your arrogant and arrogant character today." ”
Hearing Emma say this, Laura looked unconvinced and was about to refute her words, but after thinking about it, she didn't do it. To be honest, she still respects Emma very much, not only because Emma's strength is stronger than her, but also because Emma takes care of her in everything and gives her a feeling of motherhood. How can a child lose his temper with his mother? Even if you do lose your temper, how can you bear to hurt your parents? So, she chose to be silent.
"Eric is a good leader, and although his approach is extreme, it is also because of what happened to him when he was younger. We can all understand this, but when it comes to children, this guy can be called hateful. Emma sighed, "Laura, I think you should remember that you still have two siblings, right?" ”
Hearing Emma's words, Laura was stunned, remembering the pair of siblings she had met a few years ago, one seemed to be called Wanda? Maksimov, one seems to be called Pietro? Maximov. They claimed to be their father's son and daughter, although she didn't believe it at that time, but from her father's eyes, she clearly saw a trace of guilt.
Laura's rebellious heart towards her father also began at that time, she once hated her father very much, hated this guy for saying that he loved his mother, but he found another woman outside. Such extreme thoughts caused her to mistakenly think that her mother's death was related to her father, and once hated him very much, and she couldn't help but refute every word he said, didn't want to pay attention to him, and even sometimes had the urge to kill him.
This situation has only gradually improved as she has grown older, but she is still very puzzled by her father's expulsion of the siblings and their exile. Although she didn't welcome the brother and sister very much, she said that they were all brothers and sisters of her own, and being treated like this by her father really made her feel that her father was actually a cold-hearted person. Now that she heard Emma bring up the old story again, her face showed a rare look of guilt, which was not her guilt, but for her father. She didn't like her father for doing this injustice, but there was nothing she could do.
"I've seen that brother and sister before, and they're very mature, much more mature than you, and they've thought it out in everything they do and what they do. I don't know how many times stronger than you! Emma contrasted the three.
Hearing this, Laura felt a little upset in her heart. I couldn't help but wave my hand impatiently and said, "You think they are better than me, right?" ”
"Yes, they are better than you!" Emma said bluntly, "But do you know why they're so good? That's because they were orphaned since they were young, they couldn't get the care of their mothers and the love of their fathers, and they had to survive on their own in this cruel world, so they were very precocious. What is even more rare is that even in this environment, they have never embarked on an evil path, and they have not lost their true hearts because of their extraordinary abilities. And what about you? You have what they don't. But you don't have the most basic things they have! So, Laura, you're going to learn to mature......"
Laura was silent, she had never thought about so many things, never about how her two siblings lived. Now that she heard Emma mention it, she felt that she was indeed as Emma said, inferior to them. I have my father's love. All excellent resources have come to this point completely because their personality and mentality have never been correct.
What about Wanda and Pietro? They seem to be putting their mindset right all along. They know exactly what they want, what they should do, and what they shouldn't do. When they first came to their father a few years ago, they did not intend to recognize him in the first place, but relayed a word from their deceased mother and left. Such a move. Truth be told, she couldn't do it. Therefore, she actually admires her two siblings very much.
"I've said almost, and if I say too much, I'm afraid you'll be disgusted with me. But say less. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince you in any way. So, now it's time for the point, and the rest is up to you. ”
With that, Emma leaves the room, leaving Laura alone in the room and leaving her to think about her own future path.
Emma, who left the room, couldn't help but sigh, she belonged to Laura as a friend and mother, and she had watched this girl grow up, so she naturally didn't want her to follow her father's old path in the future. That's why I say these things. Although this may lead to this girl's resentment towards herself, but at this time, she can't take care of those things.
Gathering her inner complexity, Emma came to the door of the room where Oloro and Jean Grey were and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and it was Oloro, who was puzzled by Emma's sudden visit, "I think we should keep a certain distance between us in normal times?" After all, we are still enemies in name. ”
Emma laughed, "Is it still time to think so much?" I have come to you to tell you something. If you don't want to hear it, then I'll keep the secret of this matter to myself. ”
After that, she looked like she was turning around and wanted to leave, as long as her brain was not stupid, she could see that she was trying to get away with it.
Oloro also knew that this woman was trying to get away with it, but she was very curious about the thing in Emma's mouth, "You say first, is it important that you want to talk about this matter?" Is it related to our mission? ”
Emma didn't speak, but nodded faintly, the meaning of which was already very obvious.
Seeing Emma nodding, Oloro let go of the way, allowing Emma to walk into the house, but Jean Grey was already sitting on the sofa waiting for her to come, she had already heard the conversation at the door just now, and guessed that this matter might be related to the stone of their mission, otherwise, how could Emma take the initiative to come to them?
"Say it! Since you're here, it's definitely to tell us something that's important to all three of us. Drinking coffee leisurely, Jean Grey said seemingly casually, with a look of complete unhurriedness.
In the face of such a calm Jean Grey, the corners of Emma's mouth swept up with a hint of playfulness, "What if I told you that I had mastered the whereabouts of the Time Stone, but I didn't know what kind of reaction you would have?" ”
Jean Grey was stunned when she heard this, then put down the teacup in her hand, frowned and asked, "You said you have mastered the whereabouts of the Time Stone?" You know, we live together now, and it's clear whether you will know or not, whether you will know your whereabouts. And it's only been less than an hour since you returned to London that you actually told me that you know the whereabouts of the Time Stone? ”
Oloro and Jean Grey glanced at each other at this moment, and they could both see the ridicule of Emma in each other's eyes, even if it was a lie, wouldn't they? As for using this kind of casual lies, do you plan to coax them and make them contribute blindly?
This time, Grey, who is as smart as Jean, guessed wrong, Emma is not coaxing them, but has the truth about Rocky's whereabouts.
"I know you won't believe me now, but I'm still telling you what I know." Emma shrugged her shoulders, ignoring the other party's mocking eyes, and said to herself, "To be honest, I didn't believe it when I heard the news. I was also thinking about why there was such a coincidence in the world, but the fact is that this thing did happen. We had just arrived in London today, and Laura said she wanted to go out and she met an acquaintance of ours in the bar......"
Acquaintance? Jean Grey and Oloro couldn't help but glance at each other, subconsciously thought of Rocky in disguise, and then couldn't help believing Emma's words a little, but still had a lot of doubts, so they heard Oloro ask: "How do you know that person is our acquaintance?" That's what Laura saw, not what you saw. Maybe it's just that people are similar. ”
"Yes, that's what I thought at first. But Laura described to me what he looked like and told me that the man had a strange stone in his hand, and there he was talking to himself with the stone, as if he didn't know what he was thinking. Emma paused for a moment when she said this, and then she saw that the eyes of Jean and Oloro no longer had any sarcasm, and she smiled slightly, and said, "When I got here, I suddenly remembered that the Time Stone you took was fake. So did he start knowing? Don't you think we escaped too smoothly? Why doesn't this guy chase? He's hoping for more than we do, isn't he? ”
