Chapter 42: Before the War
"What should I do?" Mutant Academy, in the spacious hall, the X-Men looked at each other in confusion, Professor X was killed, everyone lost their way forward, and in the face of Mo Wen's sudden declaration of war, they couldn't pay a single attention.
"No, we can't watch the war happen like this, we have to stop him!" Wolverine was the first to speak, his idea endorsed by Stormgirl, the Beast, and Colossus, who believed that Professor X had spent his life reconciling humans and mutants, and that he could not let a war break out between the two sides and ruin his years of work.
But there were also different opinions, only to see the fire man sneer, "Why stop it, and then watch the humans slaughter us, or keep us in captivity?" ”
Originally dissatisfied with the situation of being a mutant but being oppressed by humans, Mo Wen's declaration completely ignited the fire in the hearts of the burning people.
"I'm going to find Professor Mo Wen and go to participate in the Holy War!"
"What do you say? Have you been brainwashed by that guy? ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the hot-tempered Wolverine picked up the fire man and asked loudly.
The burning man shook his head, and the lighter that he had been fiddling with in his hand suddenly erupted into a flame, and Wolverine, who was caught off guard, was burned and screamed, and then retreated a few steps.
"You!" Unexpectedly, this student would actually make a move on himself, Wolverine was furious, and six sharp blades erupted from his palm, but the next moment he was stopped by the beast and Colossus.
No matter what choice the students make, as professors, they must not do anything to the students at school, or the whole college will fall apart immediately.
Glanced at Wolverine defiantly. The Burning Man turned his gaze to a young man sitting on the couch, "Bobby, what about you?" Do you want to come with me? ”
The Iceman looked at his former best friend with some confusion. The way he looked now made Bobby feel extremely strange, his eyes were full of scorching fire, it was ambition, it was not angry, after a while, Bobby shook his head, "No, John. My parents are ordinary people, I can't do that! ”
"Really?" Shrugged his shoulders with some regret, the Burning Man strode outside.
"Wait a minute!" But someone stopped him. I saw the little naughty stand up, "I'll go with you, I'm going to find Mo!" ”
"What are you talking about, that kid wants to start a war!" Wolverine looked at the girl who had a good relationship with him with a puzzled expression. I don't know why she made this choice.
But the little mischievous was silent for a moment. Eventually, he looked up and said, "I don't care what I'm going to do, but I'm going to be with him." ”
She took two quick steps and caught up with the Burning Man.
There was an awkward silence for a while, and then Wolverine shouted violently, "Whoever else wants to go to that kid will go together, get out of here now!" ”
"I'm sorry!"
After hesitating for a moment, he gently bit his lower lip. The phantom cat also stood up in the surprised eyes of everyone and ran out.
looked at the figure of the three of them gradually moving away. Wolverine was furious, and he yelled at Cyclopyo, "Scott, you're not going to say anything!" Professor X handed over the academy to you in the first place! Look at what you've done! ”
It's a pity that the latter, as always, was silent, just covering his face with his hands and reading a name in a low voice.
"-Jean!" ――
In the dense jungle, a fiery woman is silently walking in the forest, like a flame, where she passes, there is silence, as if the whole world is silent, the woman's expression is very strange, like a puppet, there is no human feeling.
Suddenly, the woman's footsteps were stunned, and the whole person became alert, with a hint of vigilance on her face, and her eyes were full of hideous killing intent, just like the king of the forest was afraid of another king invading his realm.
"Yo, Qin, long time no see, your changes are really big!"
The space in front of him distorted, and a teenager walked out leisurely and looked at the woman in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Roar!"
The woman let out a roar that didn't resemble a human voice and took a step back, her eyes darkening with wariness.
"Ah-la, Ah-la!" Mo Wen clasped his ears and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be blackened and it's really difficult to communicate, but I feel a lot stronger than the depressing appearance before, this should be your real appearance!" Powerful, dark, full of desire, it used to be like wearing a mask! ”
Slowly walking a few steps forward, Mo Wen was about to say something, but the Qin on the opposite side raised his hand sharply as if he was frightened.
The invisible spiritual storm raged, and in just an instant, the surrounding kilometer of forest turned into a cloud of flying ash and disappeared from the map.
The blow had such a strong effect, but there was no smile on Jean's face, and her eyes were fixed on the only living thing but her within a kilometer.
A protective shield stopped in front of Mo Wen's body, blocking the pervasive spiritual storm outside, although under the continuous impact, the protective shield splashed circles of waves, but in the end it was not broken.
Walking towards Qin step by step, Mo Wen muttered to himself, "Sure enough, is there no way to communicate with human methods?" ”
Looking at Mo Wen who was gradually approaching, Qin's eyes widened, and the fear in her eyes became stronger, and the originally powerful spiritual storm became even more tyrannical, blowing Mo Wen's magic shield open cracks one after another.
But Mo Wen didn't care, as if he didn't see it, he stepped forward on his own, and finally stood in front of Qin, stretched out a finger, and the fingertip began to emit a little light.
Arcane Level 7 Necromancy - Death Finger.
The next moment, the wind stopped, feeling the power of death in front of his forehead, Qin's body trembled, the more wild he was, the more sensitive he was to the power of death, feeling the power of his fingertips that could kill him, Qin gave in.
"Good!"
The magic that had gathered on his fingers gradually dissipated, and a satisfied smile appeared on Mo Wen's face.
"Come with me, Jean! I will take you to a place where you can freely exert your power, where you no longer have to worry about your power hurting your friends and relatives, and you no longer have to suppress your desires and impulses, come, come with me! ”
Looking at the figure that gradually turned away, a trace of human confusion flashed in Qin's eyes, and then disappeared again, and silently got up and followed-
"Damn it! What have you bastards done! ”
Everyone in the U.S. Congress was in a mess and pointing fingers at each other.
"Who gave you the military the right to give you the order to slaughter mutants!" A congressman pointed at the Ministry of Defense and scolded, "Things have come to this point, you are responsible!" ”
And the people in the Ministry of Defense didn't dare to show weakness, and defended: "It was just Stryker's action before, he can't represent our Ministry of Defense, and he is dead, if you want to be held responsible, you might as well go to him!" ”
Then he looked at the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. on the side with a mocking face, and asked loudly, "What's going on with you S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Not only did he not kill Mo Wen, but he also gave him such a big handle, and even those iron warriors fell into his hands, are you all eating? The state allocates so much money to you every year, not for you to fund the enemy! ”
Fury, who represented S.H.I.E.L.D., had a calm face, his eyes swept over several big people present, and in the uneasiness of several people, he said lightly: "It was the decision of some people to dispatch the Iron Warriors at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with my S.H.I.E.L.D., and in the end, Natasha's action against Mo Wen was authorized by the high-level, and even the potion was specially sent by others, and our S.H.I.E.L.D. can't afford such a big responsibility." ”
Swept away by his cold gaze, the men all bowed their heads in fear, for fear that Fury would say their names.
It's a pity that the military obviously didn't plan to let go of this opportunity, and only to see a general speak: "Are you going to stay out of it now?" Before using it, you S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't investigate the issue of those armors, who will pay for this? You must know that each piece of powerful weapons is worth more than 200 million, and the fighters in our hands are not opponents! ”
"President, we need more funding!" The general said to the president, who was sitting next to him, and his purpose was beyond words.
"How?" Without waiting for the president to answer, Fury asked rhetorically, "The armor is produced by your military's major supplier, and the armor is temporarily requisitioned, how do you want us to investigate?" ”
At this time, I heard another general speak in a mysterious way, "But I heard that the reason for the use of that equipment was made by one of your agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., and we wonder if she has some collusion with that kid!" ”
Fury's face changed, and then he said categorically: "Impossible, Hill is one of our best agents, and he will never betray!" ”
"Not necessarily! I don't think your so-called good agent is very good, that Black Widow will not be captured, I think you S.H.I.E.L.D. should conduct a search-"
"Enough!" Seeing that the more everyone talked about the smell of gunpowder, the president suddenly drank loudly, he stood up, and glanced at everyone.
"Guys, do we have time to argue at a time like this? The war has begun, our citizens are being harmed every moment outside, and what we have to do is not to hold anyone responsible, but how to win this war! ”
Everyone was silent, and the president took a deep breath and began to give orders.
"Fury, now you go to investigate the activities of mutants, you must find out where they converge, and then focus on that Mo Wen, he is the key to the matter."
"Ladies and councillors, I ask you to mobilize all your forces, and you must do your best to pacify the masses, we must not let the panic spread!"
"The military, from now on, all equipped with potions from Manhattan, I will suppress the rebellion of all mutants within a week."
Finally, there was a cold glint in his gaze.
"They want war, and we'll give him one!"
"America resolutely does not tolerate division!" (To be continued......)
