Chapter 889: The Stars Are Brilliant (34)
"Charles, it's been a long time since we've called, right? Do you remember your old friend? An old general with gray hair, standing in the communication room, said to the other side with a phone.
"General Davis, it's true that I haven't been in touch for a long time, when I was in school, we also participated in a club, but I didn't expect that now you have been retired for many years." Charles's voice was a little nostalgic, and the general opposite was also his old friend.
"Yes, at that time, you were a famous communicator, and I ...... Forget it, don't talk about it, you should know that I've been invited by some people to give you a call and ask you about your situation in the Andromeda Galaxy......"
The old general's words were very straightforward, in fact, he didn't want to come, but now, several generals of the military, and some people from the presidential palace, were standing here watching him, and he had no other choice.
"We're in a good place." Charles smiled and said, "We have set up a temporary camp in the capital of the Andromeda Commonwealth civilization, and now, several mutants of the X-Men are temporarily living here. ”
After speaking, Charles looked around at the luxurious office around him, this is his favorite British style, dark wood floors spread throughout the office, heavy crimson curtains hung on both sides of the windows, rows of bookshelves connected all the way to the wine cabinet, and the oil paintings hanging on the walls were moved from his previous manor, which fit this style very well. ”
This is the result of the renovation of the luxurious crystal garden of the Sky Island before, and then look out the window, Polaris is chasing Wolverine, Laser Eye and Shockwave are fighting on the side, and then look out, there is also a Kree frigate, parked not far away, the huge spaceship occupies half of the sky, and the Sky Island is a little small.
"Okay, Charles, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you, we've got news from here, an uprising broke out on the main planet of the Brimstone Dwarf, affecting the production of molten steel, and someone found a human mutant there, what's going on?"
The old general pushed his glasses and said: "Charles, you have to know that there are thousands of aerospace projects in the world now, all of which rely on molten steel, and indeed, stopping these projects is just a return to the origin, but you and I have come from that era, don't you want to see the stars in the universe?" ”
What he said was true, but Charles said with some doubts: "Brimstone dwarf uprising? Their sector is far from where we are now, and the X-Men have never been there, huh? ”
"Davis, you know, I won't lie about this kind of thing, to fight in the universe, you must first have a star map, mutants have never been there at all, without a star map there, how can they participate in the war there?"
One of the staff members whispered, "Ask him about the Mutant Brotherhood and Magneto......"
So, the old general spoke: "Of course, I believe in you very much, Charles, you are not that kind of person, but I still have doubts, Magneto has always complained about ordinary people......"
"You say Eric?" Charles sighed and said, "According to Lorna, his father is here too, but we don't know where they are, and you know, Magneto can control the magnetic field, and if he wants to cover himself, I can't find it." ”
"If he is the one involved in the revolt of the Brimstone Dwarves, then I can only say that it may be that His Majesty Sanos has some ideas about this particular metal."
Then, Charles lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I have long wanted to call you to tell you that this so-called Sonos, whose territory is in the dark quadrant, I have also been there once, and his capital is extremely well armed, and the army is also very strong. ”
"He himself is a Titan, one of the most powerful creatures in the universe, and there are five obsidian generals under him, and what is even more terrifying is that he has always had ideas about the earth as a cosmic greenhouse, and I wanted to explore his ideas further, but failed."
Charles's tone became very serious, and he said: "You better be prepared, this uprising of the Brimstone Dwarves may be his temptation, if the human race is not tough enough, then the next step is not just the Andromeda Galaxy." ”
Charles rarely said so many words at once, but these words made the atmosphere in the room seem to freeze, and the old general Davis swallowed his saliva and said, "You mean, there is a powerful cosmic force that has targeted us and has already taken action against the human forces in the Andromeda Galaxy?" ”
"Yes, it's hard for me to get to Eric what he thinks, but you should also know his background, he has a hatred for ordinary humans, and I'm trying to impress his daughter, after all, Lorna is his favorite little daughter, and if she can change her mind, maybe she can persuade her father to ......"
At this moment, a man dressed as a soldier walked in, he saluted, and then said: "General, the plane where Schiller Rodriguez is is located is about to land in ten minutes, do you want to notify the tower to take measures?" ”
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room can no longer be said to be frozen, everyone is on the verge of cracking, there are powerful cosmic forces outside, and there is an angry Iron Curtain waiting for revenge inside, and it is time to choose whether to protect the head or the ass first.
Everyone gathered together to discuss, and tearfully decided to solve the internal troubles first, the problem caused by the steel melt and the broken flow may not erupt for at least a month, but in a few hours, the Iron Curtain will return.
The general, who was standing behind General Davis, walked over directly, took the microphone and said: "Hello, Charles Xavier, I am the head of the military, and now, we have a big problem, I hope you can help us solve it, and only you can help us solve it......"
The person next to him wanted to stop him, after all, once he got to the bottom of it, he had to be prepared for heavy bleeding, but he hesitated, and still didn't come forward Now, now, either bleeding or losing his life.
Heavy bleeding, at most, is spending taxpayers' money, not bleeding, but they are the ones who are hanging the street lamp, and within three seconds, everyone made their own choice and quoted their own reserve price with their eyes.
"Oh, what's the trouble?" Charles spun his chair around to look at Strange and Schiller, who were opening the portal in the center of the office, and said, "If the survival of humanity is at stake, the X-Men are more than happy to help." ”
"Well, that's the case...... General Davis hesitated for a moment, but then said, "There have been many tragedies lately, and a man who is extremely irrational, probably extremely biased, and very emotionally paranoid, is approaching New York, and he has the same ability for mind control as you......"
Charles walked into the portal with the phone and came to the top of Stark Tower, where Schiller gestured to him and Charles nodded.
At this time, on the other end of the phone, the door was pushed open again, and another officer rushed in and said, "Report!
The plane landed! Schiller Rodriguez...... Arrived in New York!
!
”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions froze, because they all felt that just now, their thoughts had stagnated for about a second.
A brainstorm swept across New York.
There was no gunsmoke, no explosions, and no mushroom clouds, but everyone had constructed the scene of the EMP weapon launch in their own minds.
Starting from a central point, powerful thought waves rippled out, instantly radiating to the nearly 10 million population of New York, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, rippling ripples, and like a roaring spring thunder, when it cracked into the clouds, the clouds dispersed layer by layer.
"Charles...... Charles!
! Stop him!
Professor X!
! A man rushed up and shouted into the earpiece, "You can do whatever you want, stop him, don't let him destroy New York!"
”
"This is a warning! This is his warning! Stop him," shouted another, and there was even a cry in his voice.
The thought storm that covered the whole of New York just now actually didn't cause substantial harm to anyone, and for ordinary people, this kind of thinking stagnation for a second or two is actually a common occurrence in their daily lives.
Many people, even genius researchers, often lose their minds for a period of time while concentrating on something.
Even if everyone felt this way at the same time, no one would shout, and no one would notice it except for those who had been vigilant for a long time.
The military and congressional personnel, who had been nervous for a few hours, finally completely collapsed, and in the timeline of these few hours, their psychological pressure continued to increase, and their heartstrings had been stretched to the limit, so that the slightest wind and grass would make them bow and snake.
"Professor! Only you have the power to stop him! Hurry up, please, don't let him destroy humanity, we're willing to pay whatever it takes......"
"But......" Charles's hesitant voice came from the receiver of the phone: "As far as I know, you should be an ideological dispute, which belongs to the internal dispute of ordinary human society, and mutants cannot participate in ......"
"I never express any political opinions, and I never take sides, and if I help you deal with him, wouldn't it be ......"
"Of course you can, you're part of the human race, you're just protecting ordinary people, hurry up, he's coming......"
Meanwhile, in his office in Heaven, Stark looked at a strangely shaped device in his hand and said:
"Just now, Jarvis said that his signal has been disturbed a bit, and it seems that the thinking of the whole New York City has been affected for a moment, when did Schiller have this ability?"
At this moment, the portal opened, and Schiller stretched out half of his body, beckoned to the door, and said, "Tony, why the hell are you designing so many buttons for this freezer?" It just went off the low temperature alarm, which key should I press to get this damn low temperature bin to stop??? ”
"Didn't I tell you everything? The biggest button is the intelligent temperature control...... Wait a minute, I said, Schiller, when did you have the ability to control your mind, didn't you say that your telepathy can only feel the emotions of Mohu? ”
Schiller was stunned for a moment and said, "When did I have the ability to control my mind?" …… I didn't, I've always only had the telepathic ability of Mohu. ”
"What's going on with the brainstorm that just broke out in New York? Don't try to fool me, I was already in contact with Jarvis using magical energy before I came in, and he told me that according to his data, ......"
"Oh, that's Professor Charles, isn't that his signature ability?" Schiller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago?" I said that I could brainwash all mankind to scare them, and it was Professor Charles, not me, who really had the ability. ”
Stark frowned, he had just finished listening to Nick explain the series of plans he had with Schiller, but what he didn't expect was that this plan was even more outrageous than he thought.
"You're saying that you designed a lot of traps to kill all the superheroes in New York who had the power to check and balance you, and then you pretended to be killed because of these superheroes, and you rushed to New York in a rage."
"Those people really thought that it was their dereliction of duty that the superhero was killed, and they thought that you had the ability to brainwash the world, so they had to turn to another person who had the ability to brainwash the world, and that was Professor X."
"When they turned to Professor X for help, they found that the mutants had a better way out, and they could no longer accept their requests as before."
"At this time, you borrowed the threat of the Mutant Brotherhood to molten steel, attracting the enemy who watched the earth, creating a tense atmosphere and making them fall into the anxiety of a zero-sum game."
"And Professor X, because this plan can increase the importance of mutants, is willing to cooperate with your plan, and really use the ability of brainstorming to warn everyone......"
"And the person who received the warning, because of fear, had to turn to Professor X even more for help, accepting his lion's big opening conditions, and because mutants can get great benefits, Professor X ...... again"
Stark covered his forehead and said, "This is actually a shocking scam directed and acted by you alone!" ”
Schiller was a little puzzled and said, "What scam?" I'm just doing some foreshadowing, real deception...... I mean, the real plan hasn't started yet. ”
Stark narrowed his eyes, looked at him and said, "You said that before, don't tell me, it's not the right thing." ”
"Of course not." Schiller showed a sneer and said, "Mutants are just a small goal, and next, it's the main thing." ”
After saying that, he closed the portal, and the figure disappeared into the office, and at this time, in the office where General Davis was, Charles's voice came from the receiver of the phone:
"I accept your terms, I have opened the portal and will return to Earth immediately...... Oh Jesus, how ...... the brainwave position here"
Everyone stared nervously at the phone, but then, Charles's serious voice came, he said: "Tell you the bad news, I can only hold him back, but I can't beat him, if the two of us go head-to-head, everyone in New York will be shocked into idiots......"
"How long can you hold him back?" General Davis asked immediately.
"Three days at most."
Charles only replied with one sentence, and then hung up the phone, and a general next to him angrily hammered the wall, and he said, "He's a liar!" He clearly said......"
"Now is not the time to discuss this! In three days, we have to find a solution, or he will ruin all of New York! ”
The Admiral took a deep breath and clenched his fist vigorously, and at this time, another agent walked up, wearing the uniform of a S.H.I.E.L.D. field agent, but with a military salute, saying:
"Report! General, we have discovered a secret project in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s legacy, with a level of 10 secrecy, which is a secret plan that only Nick Fury knows, called Project Tahiti. ”
"Who told you to come here?! Is this the time to report this? General Ross said angrily, but the admiral stopped him, he looked at the agent and said, "What's so special about this plan that you should come here now to report?" ”
The agent straightened up and said:
"General, the ultimate goal of the Tahitian plan is to resurrect humanity."
