Chapter 16: The Beginning of a New Phase
On a new day, Li Qingzhu sat on the hospital bed, with a drip hanging on his left hand, and carefully looked at the back of his exposed left hand, on which a needle was firmly inserted.
Qin believes that Li Qingzhu's brain has been seriously damaged, so he needs to be stabilized with medication, most of which are calming and calming, so as not to have any sequelae.
Although Li Qingzhu's telekinesis can compete with Qin's ability, but he has only awakened his telekinesis, and he has only been injured, it is absolutely impossible to win, the so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves, Li Qingzhu agreed to Qin's request to stay in the hospital bed to watch.
In fact, it's nothing, except that there is not much freedom, and I am bored in the house, everything else is fine, and there are people who specially deliver food.
Look at the pile of fruit on the bedside table, isn't it someone else's delivery?
"Click!"
Li Qingzhu took a big bite of the apple in his hand, and he didn't care that the apple in his hand was not peeled.
"Bang bang."
At this time, Li Qingzhu's door was knocked, Li Qingzhu continued to nibble on his apple without raising his head, and took the time to reply: "Please come in!" ”
The door was gently pushed open, and Cyclops slowly walked in with Professor X in tow, Stormgirl and Wolverine following behind, and at the end there was a mutant covered in blue fluff and wearing a suit and tie.
"Look, Professor, I'll just say he's in good spirits, right?"
Laser watched Li Qingzhu gnaw on the apple, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said to Professor X with an expressionless face.
Professor X didn't care either, chuckling and saying, "It's a good thing to have spirit. ”
said. He pushed his wheelchair to Li Qingzhu's bedside and greeted, "How do you feel?" Plum. ”
"If Jean had agreed, I would have been able to get out of bed and move."
Li Qingzhu looked at Professor X and shrugged helplessly. His telekinesis had just been activated, and he was basically in a useless state, and the last time he was desperately injured.
"Jean is also responsible for your health, by the way, I came over today to introduce you to a friend."
As he spoke, Professor X turned to the tall fellow beast and called, "Hank, come here." This is Lee. ”
Li Qingzhu had noticed the beast Hank before, this guy was very eye-catching, and the signs were also very obvious. Li Qingzhu naturally knew him.
"Li Qingzhu, hello."
Li Qingzhu put down the apple in his hand, then wiped it casually on the bed, and stretched out his hand to Hank.
Lasereye gave him a disgusted look. Storm Girl shook her head helplessly. Logan rolled his eyes even more.
Hank smiled very gentlemanly, and reached out to hold Li Qingzhu's hand, which was very weak compared to him, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Minister Li." ”
Li Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Which department of the country do you work in?" ”
"CIA, I'm just a representative of mutants in the country, of course, it's much more formal now."
Hank has a good personality, in fact he doesn't lose his temper when he loses his temper. It's like an uncle next door, very easy to contact.
Li Qingzhu let go of his hand. After listening to Hank's words, he looked at Professor X with some confusion, he still didn't know that the X-Men were recognized by the United States.
Professor X saw his doubts in Li Qingzhu's eyes, and then explained: "I reached an agreement with Mr. President on the transport plane that day, in the United States, the existence of the X-Men is legitimate, and Hank is our representative in the country, he is responsible for dealing with a series of things between mutants and ordinary people, and he is also responsible for managing and counting the number and ability of mutants in the United States." ”
"You promised them to register mutants?"
Li Qingzhu frowned and looked at Professor X, this seems to be a little inappropriate, in case someone wants to study the abilities of mutants, isn't this a convenience? It's a bit dangerous.
Without waiting for Professor X to explain, Hank said: "No, no, Minister Li, you understand a little problem, this is just a registration, just basic information and correspondence ability, the government can't interfere too much, and now mutants are under the jurisdiction of the X-Men." ”
Li Qingzhu was still a little uneasy, he said: "In case there are still people who don't want to give up and want to study the abilities of mutants, wouldn't it be more convenient to catch people directly according to this information?" As you know, for mutants, it's not very safe to put your information anywhere. ”
After listening to Li Qingzhu's analysis, Professor X spoke.
"I can't refute your statement, but there is a certain danger in exposing our countrymen to the eyes of evildoers. But this is also a helpless thing, we have to do this if we want to get the support of the state, and on this condition, we only exchange for the support of some countries, and in other countries, mutants are still discriminated against and suspicious, which makes me feel very helpless. ”
A trace of exhaustion flashed on Professor X's face, and Li Qingzhu had a hint of realization, politics is indeed a very complicated thing, there is an old saying, politics is a hooligan, try not to get involved if it is not necessary, because once something is involved in politics, it is difficult to say clearly.
What's more, in the world of politics, there are actually very few win-win situations, and more are about sacrificing small things for big, and Professor X's actions are such a purpose.
"I understand."
Li Qingzhu nodded at Professor X, then looked at Hank and said, "I have to ask you to deal with this, so you are under a lot of pressure, Hank." ”
"Hehe, isn't it stressful that I've been working for the CIA for so many years?"
Hank is joking, and it seems that he has a very cheerful personality.
Looking at Li Qingzhu nodding with a smile, Hank suddenly said, "By the way, Minister Li, you really don't want to go back to S.H.I.E.L.D." Your information isn't a particularly confidential document, and the current director, Nick Fury, is looking around for you and Captain America. ”
After listening to Hank's words, everyone looked at Li Qingzhu in unison, wanting to hear his plans.
Li Qingzhu was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, it's not the time yet, let's talk about it when they find Steve." By the way, Hank, you'd better not reveal a about me, I don't want them to know about me now. ”
Hank nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, although I don't know why you insist so much, but I respect your opinion, and I will keep my mouth shut." ”
"Thank you very much."
Li Qingzhu nodded.
Professor X said to Li Qingzhu at this time: "Li, I also heard about your new ability, your ability has just awakened, and it still needs to be developed, if you don't mind, I can accompany you to practice in your spare time." ”
"Oh, this I prove that Charles has always been a leader in inspiring mutants."
Hank raised his hand very cutely at this time and said to Li Qingzhu with a very sure look, when he was found by Professor X, he was also in a state of undeveloped ability, and later under Professor X's step-by-step encouragement and advice, Hank developed the potential of his body and ability.
"Of course, I never doubted you, Charles."
Li Qingzhu showed full trust in Professor X, although in the parallel world of the comics, Professor X looks evil, but in the movie world, he is an absolutely good person.
Professor X expressed his gratitude for Li Qingzhu's trust, and like the most elegant gentleman, he bowed gently to Li Qingzhu and said, "Thank you very much for your trust, Li, I will spare no effort to help you." ”
"Besides, Logan has something to say to you, but it doesn't seem to be easy to speak, so we'll leave first."
After the most deplorable, Professor X winked at Li Qingzhu playfully, and then left Li Qingzhu's room with everyone in Luo Gan's helpless eyes, leaving only Li Qingzhu and Luo Gen with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely embarrassing for a while.
Li Qingzhu first broke this embarrassing atmosphere, he coughed and said: "Cough, that, the impression we left on each other doesn't seem to be very good, don't you mind getting acquainted again?" ”
"Oh, of course, uh, I mean reacquaintance."
Logan looked a little at a loss, he was thinking of some words of thanks, but his character was destined to not be able to say those twists and turns, and his fiery temper still made him walk directly to Li Qingzhu and said seriously: "About the little naughty thing, Xie Lu thank you." ”
"You're welcome, this is what I should do, if I have time, I care about how capable you are when you don't use your metal claws."
Li Qingzhu smiled and sent an invitation to Rogan to compete in martial arts, Rogan has never refused other people's challenges, he smiled confidently: "I am free at any time." (To be continued......)
