Chapter 59: Preparing to Set Up the Stage
Xavier Academy for Gifted Teenagers.
Of course, it's not called that name yet.
Although there is no Eric, after a few fights with Shaw, Charles also realizes that he and these young mutants alone are no match for Shaw at all.
So he secretly gathered several young mutants and trained them in their ability to control themselves.
It's just that the effect doesn't seem to be very good.
And the future head of the logistics department of the X-Men, "Beast" Hank, developed the "brainwave enhancement machine" in advance.
Charles: The few times they were able to catch Shaw's whereabouts was also with the help of this thing.
Lune and Kayla are led by Charles to the underground vault of the castle.
"The Professor can find all the mutants in the world with the help of this machine, as long as your friend is still on Earth, he can definitely find it."
Charles had already told Hank about the deal with Rune, so Hank knew what they were here for.
It's just that he was obviously talking to Rune, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Kayla on the side.
Kayla is dressed in a red one-piece leather coat, with a hot and fiery figure and a delicate smile that can make all normal men burn.
"Ahem~"
Lunn's smiling eyes embarrassed Charles, and he coughed heavily twice to remind Hank.
"Oh oh ~ that~ let's get started."
Hank came back to his senses and ran away in a panic, only to fall and eat, throwing his shoes off.
"Uh~That, I'm sorry~"
Hank said in a panic and embarrassment as he hurriedly prepared the instruments.
Charles tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly at Rune and Kayla: "I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”
"It's okay." Rune squinted and smiled.
It's just that his eyes are fixed on Hank's unshoed foot.
If he's not mistaken, Hank should have had a different pair of feet, but now Hank's feet look like normal people.
What does this mean?
'Stains, inhibiting agents. ’
It suddenly occurred to Luan that this time had come too far.
"Let's get started."
Wearing a brainwave-boosted helmet, Charles nodded to Hank.
Rune retracted his thoughts and looked up.
As Hank pressed the button, the time was instantaneous, the sun and the moon were reversed, time and space were exchanged, and a vast starry sky appeared in front of several people's eyes.
Luan knew that those star-like highlights were the mutants of the world.
"What's that friend's name?"
"Eric, Eric Lansell."
"Alright, come on, Eric Lanschel, come out."
As Charles muttered to himself, light and shadow flashed like meteors, and a silent meteor shower appeared in front of several people.
"Found it." Charles shouted excitedly.
"Where is he?" Rune looked very bland.
"Hmm~"
Charles had a calm face, and his face was a little ugly.
"What's wrong? Professor. Hank was a little nervous, thinking that something was wrong with the machine.
"I'm fine." Charles waved his hand, his expression a little solemn, "I don't know where he is?" ”
"Huh?"
Now it's Lune's turn to be strange, everyone has found it, and I don't know where it is?
"He was in a very dark place, like a cellar, damp and cold, and I could feel his anger and murderous aura, as well as ~ regret." Charles's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Rune raised his eyebrows: "Regret? ”
"That's right, I regret it." Charles furrowed his brow and nodded.
After he confirmed it again and again, it was indeed regret.
"Charles, where is he now?"
******
In the darkness, Eric sat in the corner distracted.
It's been an unknown amount of time since he's been locked up here, and every day Eric comes back to his mind what Rune had said to him when Ania stopped him.
"Erik, Shaw's ability is inexplicable for you now, you can't kill him at all, you still need to be patient."
Eric had mixed feelings for Lune at the time.
On the one hand, he thanked him for saving him from Auschwitz, and on the other hand, he was full of incomprehension and anger at him for hiding his cooperation with Shaw.
His obsession with Shaw led him to flee Ania despite Lune's dissuasion.
For so many years, he has been tracking down Shaw's whereabouts.
He knew that the Hellfire Club was run by Shaw, so he didn't go around in a big circle like in the movie before finally discovering Shaw's whereabouts.
The Hellfire Club is mysterious to the common man, but it is not a secret to high society.
Arresting a few rich people, some coercion and temptation, the clues of the Hellfire Club are not difficult to find.
Following this line, Eric eventually spotted Shaw in Las Vegas.
It turned out that there was no need to guess at all.
Eric was still too immature, and Lune arranged for him to study with Keltex, how could he learn it, and he thought about how to take revenge every day in his head, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and an old fritter.
If you haven't learned much, your strength will naturally not be much stronger.
Since being locked up here, Eric has gone from being angry and manic at first, to hysterical madness, and then to a period of despair, and finally slowly calming down.
Only then did he realize how correct Lune was then.
Shaw's abilities are really incomprehensible to him.
He regretted it, he felt guilty.
But it has come to this, and it is useless to regret it, he can only wait silently.
Waiting for the day when the man who could do anything in his heart acted.
"Eric."
In the silence of darkness, two rays of light suddenly burst out of Eric's eyes.
"Who?"
"My name is Charles."
At this moment, Eric is very calm, not at all like the impulsive and brainless him before.
After being here for so long, he knew very well whether there was anyone in this little cellar, and he didn't hear anyone coming in, and there was only one way for this voice to appear without warning.
"You're a mutant?"
"Yes, my ability is telepathy, so I can talk to you through the mind from a long distance."
"What are you looking for me for?"
Eric said coldly, countless thoughts flashing through his head.
This mutant came to him for no reason, and there must have been a purpose.
"Someone asked me to bring you a message."
Eric was stunned, he had thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be just that.
After reacting, Eric asked with a hint of curiosity, "What?" ”
At the same time, the figure of a man involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Enough fun, it's time to go home."
Eric bounced off the ground with a bang, his face couldn't help showing ecstasy, and he choked up, "What else did he say?" ”
"He said that he was very angry that you ran away from home this time, so let you reflect on it."
Eric lowered his head and said with a lonely expression, "I know." ”
"That's all, goodbye, Eric."
******
Taking off his helmet, Charles looked at Lu in confusion: "Your friend is obviously locked up, don't you ask where he is?" ”
"No, I already know." Lune shook his head, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Charles, "Charles, thank you very much, if you find Xiao, you can find me here." ”
With that, Rune turned around and left with Kayla.
Since Eric is locked up, he doesn't need to ask Luan to know that Shaw did it, he has always wanted to subdue Eric, otherwise he wouldn't have done the stupid thing of shooting his mother in order to provoke Eric.
Since he knew that Xiao did it, it made no difference whether he asked or not, Emma must know.
And Luan suspects that Eric himself may not even know where he is.
Having just left the future Xavier Genius Junior Academy, Kayla finally couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, don't you really have to save Eric?" ”
Rune shook his head.
"No need, the ace still has to play in the finale, now~ it's early, wait for him to reflect on it."
Getting into the car, Lu En commanded, "You and I will go back to Ania in a few days, and after so long of preparation, this stage is only one step away." ”
