Chapter Eighty-Six: We're Just Guns in Someone Else's Hand
"What should we do?"
Looking at Charles, who was frowning, Raven secretly clenched his fists and looked at him nervously.
Charles was silent for a moment, then slowly spat out a word.
"Wait."
Raven was stunned for a moment, then stood up excitedly.
"Wait?"
Seeing Charles's serious gaze, Raven suppressed the restlessness in his heart, took a few deep breaths, and sat down again with his hands raised.
"OK~OK, I'm not excited, I'll keep my sanity."
After making sure that Raven was emotionally stable, Charles suddenly asked a question.
"Do you know why Fury and Azasser sent me this information one after the other?"
Raven was stunned, she was not stupid, she was just consumed by anger before, and now although she is still angry, her reason is still there, and she reacted quickly.
"Are they trying to use us against the man named Rune?"
Charles nodded.
"That's right, they're trying to use us as gunmen and make us kill each other."
"Cannibalism?" Raven looked at Charles with a puzzled gaze.
"You forgot, the current president of the Luska Group, the White Queen ~ Emma Frost, is also a mutant."
Raven's body shook violently, and he looked at Charles dumbfounded.
Immediately afterward, Charles said something that shocked her.
"I've investigated that Eric has a close relationship with the Luska Group, and may even be a senior leader of the group."
"How is that possible?"
Raven stood up abruptly, a look of disbelief on his face.
"Hey." Charles sighed and continued, "It's fine if Emma Frost and Eric don't know about it, if they know ......."
"This is us mutants killing each other." Raven said through gritted teeth.
"That's right."
Charles nodded.
"I don't know why they gave me this information, but it's obviously not as simple as it seems."
A few bombshells also calmed Raven down, and on second thought, she realized that there was a time bomb hidden inside.
"Charles, but now that we have this information, we know the murderer behind the scenes, if we ignore it, once it is exposed, then you ......"
What Raven could think of, Charles naturally thought of too.
This is simply a conspiracy, as one of the two major leaders of the mutants now, in the case of Magneto Eric's possible involvement in provoking the "mutant war", he is the only hope for all mutants.
If Charles is unmoved, once it breaks out, it will definitely cause an uproar among mutants, and maybe a new round of mutant riots will break out.
How high you hold it, how painful it will be to fall.
Charles is now riding a tiger.
"Don't be impulsive, Raven."
Charles naturally understands their passivity now, but he is still calm, he has never been an accountant who has more personal gains and losses.
Because of this, it is now a dilemma.
"The Luska Group is a behemoth now, and it is easy to move, so they want us to be pawns to find out the truth of Lune, so that they can clear up the relationship.
Besides, everything is not easy to come by now, and to put it mildly, if there is no war, mutants don't know how much they will die if they want to have the current treatment, and they may not be able to succeed.
To be honest, I have never been able to see through that person, he feels very dangerous to me, and if we take the wrong step, maybe the mutants will face destruction. β
"Is that really that exaggerated?" Raven was a little unconvinced.
Charles smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's a little hard to believe, but when I think about the first meeting with him, I still shudder." β
"Won't it?" Raven covered his mouth with his hand in surprise.
"So we can't be led by the nose by others, we can't be guns in other people's hands, and the best choice is to wait when we don't know the reality of the enemy."
"Wait?" Raven clutched his fist tightly, with an unwilling expression on his face, "Then when are we going to wait?" β
Charles's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he smiled slightly: "Wait to find out the reality of the enemy, wait for the enemy to show flaws, and wait for those children outside to grow up." β
"I see." Raven's whole body relaxed, and then he stood up, revealing a determined look, "Then, leave it to me to listen to the enemy's reality, and those little guys outside will teach you, Professor Charles." β
"Be careful."
There was a hint of concern on Charles' face.
Swish~
An identical Charles appeared in the office, except one standing and the other sitting.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
******
A secret laboratory hidden in the Great Lakes.
Less than 1.6 meters tall, wearing a brown suit, a mustache, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, BolΓvar Trasco led Kate and Fury to the reception room.
The two sides took their seats, and Trask couldn't wait to pitch his project to Carter.
"Director Carter, please believe me, the 'Sentinel Robots' must be the most advantageous weapon against mutants, they can perform tasks twenty-four hours a day, they will not get tired, they are not afraid of death, they will definitely become the end of mutants."
Carter smiled faintly, but the horrible scar on her face made her smile look so terrifying, and Trask's heart was chilled.
"Mr. Trask, with all due respect, your 'Sentinel Robot' looks good, but it's not far from what I requested, except for being able to detect mutant genes, your toys are only equipped with some conventional weapons, which are indeed very lethal to some mutants.
But you forget, some mutants are very powerful, and these things are just a pile of scrap metal to them, and if that's all you have, then I'm sorry, I can't waste my money on you. β
With that, Carter made a regretful look at Trask, and wanted to get up and leave.
Seeing that Carter was about to leave, Trask hurriedly got up and stopped him.
"Wait, Director Carter, please hear me out."
Wiping the sweat on his head, Trask gasped a few times before continuing: "The ones you see are only the first generation of 'sentry robots', I have already designed the second generation of sentinels, but for some reason, the second generation of sentries can only stay in the design stage. β
"Oh, is something wrong?"
Carter seemed intrigued by Trask's words.
Seeing this, Trask was overjoyed, and invited again and again: "Director Carter, let's sit down and talk." β
Carter didn't think about leaving, just a little temptation to Trask, and she really tried to find something.
So he sat back and listened with interest as Trask introduced his second-generation Sentinel Robot.
After listening to Trask's introduction, Carter's eyes became brighter and brighter, but she found that there was a very big problem in it.
"Mr. Trask, how are you going to make a sentry robot have mutant abilities?"
"Director, after the fall of the White House, I was fortunate enough to get a mutant genetic sample, and through the study of this sample, I had the design of the second-generation Sentinel robot, but the existing materials simply could not meet my design requirements, so I ......"
Carter's eyes lit up, and she remembered that Fury had told her two days ago that Stryker was working on a new alloy, and that there seemed to be some progress.
It's really sleepy and a pillow, and it's better to come early than to come by chance.
"Oh, I see, then I think I can help you with that."
