What is there to talk about? Rocky felt that he had nothing to talk about with the Storm Girl, because everything that should be said had already been said, whether it was the surface meaning or the inner meaning, he believed that the Storm Girl was a smart woman and believed that she could understand what she meant, so he would not do any explanation or anything like that, just that the other party could understand it, "Charles gave us space, but what I want to say is that what I can tell you, what I should tell you, I have already told you, what I should say, I have also said it, I can't understand what I mean, that's your own business, although this sentence is a little irresponsible......"

When the storm girl heard this, she couldn't tell whether to smile bitterly or laugh, her heart was very complicated, but her mouth was cold, "I know what you mean, and I understand your thoughts, but so what? Let me accept your thoughts on this? Follow your will? As a lobbyist for the professor, you want me to be able to live peacefully with those despicable fellows? But don't forget, that guy did something when you went missing! If you don't remember, I can remind you that when you disappeared, they robbed you of power, usurped your property, and turned you from the pride of the sky to the street rat you are today, don't you hate them at all? The child said that you have lost the vengeance that you once had? Why did you become what you are now? ”

Accusing yourself that your personality has changed? Becoming cowardly? Becoming timid and scared? Don't dare to prove to others that you're strong anymore? Is that what it looks like? Of course not, Rocky never lost his desire for revenge, and he could seriously tell Stormwind that he had been brewing his big plan from the moment he returned, but he didn't, he wouldn't tell anyone, "What I have become has nothing to do with you, and I don't need anyone else to take care of my affairs." I don't need you to stand up for me, you know? ”

Facing the cold look of Rocky, the storm girl endured the sourness in her heart, sneered, and said, "I said, you don't care what I do. In the same way, I don't care what you do, so we don't interfere with each other, but we are free in action. ”

Rocky shrugged at this and smiled faintly. "Then I can only say that you are as happy as you like, but don't blame me for not reminding you, the guy you are facing this time is not ordinarily powerful, and if you are not careful, you will be completely wiped out. Therefore, Charles is right in saying that if you want to face a strong enemy, you must ensure internal unity, otherwise it will ......" The words are not finished. But the meaning she wants to express is already very obvious, and if Stormgirl still doesn't understand the meaning, then she will be the next leader of the X-Men in vain.

This is to tell her that she has now become a destabilizing factor among the X-Men. If you want to defeat a strong enemy, you must turn this weakness into a stable point for the entire cooperative team, and stabilize it when the boss attacks, and it will not become its breakthrough.

Obviously I actually know. Knowing that she seems to have become a burden now, Stormgirl still can't accept the matter of cooperating with the enemy, so she is very resistant. Even Charles didn't know that his bothering to solve the matter would only be counterproductive.

So, how do you solve this problem? In fact, the solution is very simple, which is to exclude the storm girl from the inner circle, so that she doesn't have to worry about anything, just like playing a copy in the game just to bring a trumpet, so that she doesn't have to do anything, don't care about anything. But will she herself agree? It didn't take much thought to know that she would definitely not agree, after all, she was used to being a main force to solve any trouble, and if she became a substitute, the result would be worse than killing her.

"Don't waste a piece of Charles' hard work, you know? He did the right thing for you on May Day, and even most of the time, he was fully capable of leaving safely, but in the end he chose to stay, and his purpose was to keep you safe. He is cultivating seeds, cultivating trees that can take root and sprout, and become a great tree that stands above the world and cannot be exposed to the wind and the sun. Rocky said this, and suddenly changed his words, with a slight sneer on his face, "He is almost on the verge of success, but the final result is that none of you have become the person he imagined, so he now needs to rely on external forces, don't you think he is pitiful like this?" ”

Pathetic? Of course, it's pitiful, such a large age, but they have to go back and forth outside, worrying about their affairs, and they don't know it, as if they haven't grown up. Say he's not pitiful? He is indeed not pitiful, after all, he is the leader of the X-Men, and his prestige is beyond everyone's imagination, but apart from all this, he is just an ordinary old man after all.

And to put it mildly, he is still an ordinary disabled old man, how can such an old man not be respected? Why don't you feel pity? Rocky also chose to come forward to help Charles because of this, otherwise, how would he be willing to come?

Storm Girl, who had been silent for a long time, had a deep feeling for Rocky's words, she saw with her own eyes the professor's journey from prime to old age, how can the bitter journey be depicted in words? She suddenly felt that she was very willful? At this age, it is really ridiculous to lose your due reason because of a person!

Watching Storm Girl's complexion change from cloudy to uncertain, to finally relieved, Rocky knew that she had figured it out, so he didn't say anything more, he understood that everything was up to the point, and more was too much, so he chose to turn around and leave silently.

Walking out of the office, Rocky raised his eyes and saw Charles, it seemed that he had been waiting outside, and when he saw Rocky appear, he asked with his eyes, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after receiving an affirmative answer, "Thank you, this problem that bothered me has finally been solved......"

Rocky was a little noncommittal about Charles's thanks, "Seriously, if you brought me to the academy just because of this incident, it would be a bit too fussful, right?" It's not like what you usually do. ”

Charles showed an expression when he heard this, he knew that you would ask, he smiled and said, "I asked you to come, it really won't be just for this reason, come here, I'll let you see something, and you'll know after reading it......"

Rocky's heart is really not that simple. Charles's purpose in calling himself here was not just to comfort Storm, there must be more important things, otherwise, how could he go out himself? Instead of letting Jean Grey do it for you?

Following Charles, he entered the underground research chamber of Academy X, stopping a short distance on a hologram-enabled platform.

"To be honest, I was surprised at first, but I never thought about it since, because I knew that it might be inevitable in the near future. All I could do was do my best to prevent this from happening. As he spoke, Charles turned on the hologram, and after a flash of lightning on the platform, a figure very similar to Charles appeared, to be exact, even the figure of his youth, because they had the same brilliant and wise eyes, and he looked ahead like this. To be precise, he looked at Rocky and Charles in front of him, and he was brewing a speech.

"I don't know how to speak, but you should know that I am you. You are me, and what happens to me is even in the near future, so don't be surprised. Because they will be transformed into a possibility at a certain point in time and space. As he spoke, a planet emerged behind him, a ruined planet. Lost its blue, without any life, as if it was a dead planet, pulled into the picture, the world of ruins and broken walls, human wailing, terrible creatures running rampant, a figure standing on the highest place looking down on the world, he was laughing loudly.

The picture flashes away, and the voice of the image is like a narration to make the final description of this purgatory on earth, "This world has withered, enslaved by the apocalypse, all mankind is facing a catastrophe, the chaos of time and space makes it impossible for us to help, he is a god at that moment, a terrible evil god, he said, only ten powerful mutants can defeat him, but there is no such possibility in our time, but you can, so in the end, hope is pinned on you......"

The image disappeared, and he didn't tell who the ten mutants were, and it seemed that the final result was like this, and Charles in that time and space seemed to have left his last words, pinning his hopes on the old and frail Charles, which has to be said to be ironic.

After half a ring, Rocky said lightly, "So, you know that guy is called Apocalypse, and you also know the consequences he may cause, so you try in every possible way to unite the mutants who are not united, hoping to gather the strength of everyone to tide over the difficulties." ”

"That's it, I hope to be an old man who can save my own world, I don't know how long I can live, but it certainly won't be long, and in this limited time, I can't stand by when I encounter such a big disaster, not to mention, this is inherently inseparable from us, and I can't shirk it." As he spoke, Charleston paused and said, "Although he didn't tell me which mutants could defeat the apocalypse, I know myself, and I know who the name he will say is, so I tried to get in touch, and now the result seems to be very good, at least the people who should be united have been united, maybe the difficulty is not difficult." ”

It wasn't difficult to say, but Charles's face showed an extremely embarrassed look, "But I always feel that things won't be so simple, can gathering ten mutants really defeat Apocalypse?" Is this fake news released by the other party? A shocking conspiracy is brewing? I thought about it, but in the end I didn't get any results. So, I decided to do what he said. ”

"Will it be calculated?" Rocky's brow furrowed, "Did you know that this is very risky?" Have you considered the consequences of a failed plan? You'll all be stepping stones in this guy's plan, and you'll be a skeletal corpse under his throne! ”

"But even so, I must do it, this is the mission I have given myself......" Charles turned his wheelchair and slowly withdrew from the laboratory, he led Rocky to the lawn outside the academy, and looked at the children chasing and playing with a smile on his face, the look of satisfaction on his face was eye-catching, "Look at these children, the satisfied smiles on their faces make me full of energy." Can you imagine the smile on their face disappearing and they lying on the ground cold? I imagined it, but I didn't dare to think about it anymore. Because I don't know if it will collapse when I see this scene, they are my hope and motivation to live. ”

"So, you don't care what the end is? You don't care what happens to you? Charles, you're not such an irrational person, and this isn't Professor X as I know it. Rocky shook his head, a little incredulous at Charles's claim.

"I'm old, you know? When people are old, they like to take care of their own home, and these children are my family, and I ......," Charles chuckled under his breath, "and I am the only elder in this family, and their future needs me to protect and stand up." ”

Rocky didn't say anything anymore, he couldn't convince Charles, just like Charles couldn't convince him, "I know everything I need to know, so if there's nothing to do, I'll go first, after all, I still have a lot to deal with." As he spoke, he turned around and left, but before leaving, he suddenly said something ghostly, "As long as I am in this world for a day, the earth will never become like this, so you should continue to take care of your little family......

As the words fell, Rocky turned away without looking back, he didn't see the smile on Charles's face, but he could imagine and think that he didn't know why he said that, maybe he didn't want to disappoint the people who expected him.

When Rocky left, Charles stayed on the lawn outside the courtyard for a long time, and there was the sound of crisp footsteps on high heels hitting the ground behind him, and even if he didn't have to look back, he knew that it was Storm Girl, "I'm happy to see you think clearly, Monroe." ”

Stormgirl didn't answer, but rather answered a little unexpectedly, "That guy left?" Where did it go? ”

"He's got his own things to do, but he's going to come back here eventually, like I've always thought about ...... he never left" (To be continued.) )
