Chapter 123: You Can Only Save One Face
At this time, Qin didn't realize that when she was immersed in incredible shock, a trace of phoenix power in her body quietly integrated into her mind.
With Rune's help in the past, and her own strict defense, the power of the phoenix had no chance to take advantage of it.
However today ~
When Jean's heart doubts the trust between former partners, there is a flaw in the strong fortress, although it is only a fleeting moment, but it is still seized by the power of the phoenix.
The power of the phoenix that took advantage of the void did not erode Qin's thoughts as rudely as before, but took the initiative to integrate into Qin's consciousness and became a part of her.
Jean was unaware of all this, and she felt now that what Luan had said seemed to make more and more sense, but not enough to overturn what she had been holding on to.
Charles also shook his head in disappointment, he seemed to have figured out a lot of things, and he didn't want to explain too much, and sighed: "Hank, take us to see Raven, this is the last time I will help you." ”
Hank looked up in shock, as if he couldn't believe that what Charles said was true.
I saw him tremble and ask, "Charles, what you said is true?" Would you like to help Raven? ”
Charles smiled: "Like you said, she is my sister, how could I watch my sister being caught by them." ”
"That's great." Hank jumped up excitedly, "I'll take you there." ”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
He had only taken two steps before Hank suddenly stopped and looked back suspiciously.
"Charles, you're not going to lie to me, are you?"
Jean was really angry this time and shouted, "Hank, do you think we all want Raven to die? ”
Hank, who had never seen Jean so angry, shuddered and smiled.
"No, no, how could I think that."
Perhaps embarrassed, Hank turned and ran towards the door.
Charles shook his head helplessly and stopped Hank from opening the door.
"Hank, come back and let Kurt take us."
******
Mutant Placement Sector 17.
Raven packs the gathered information into a box with a password and stuffs it under the bed.
As he gathers information, Raven discovers that this place is full of weirdness.
The streets of Luska are full of recruitment notices, but Raven has never seen any soldiers, and she has also visited the military base on the outskirts of Luska, but she finds that it is an ordinary military base, nothing special.
After a few days of investigation, she only heard about a place called Nine Snake Island, and heard that all the recruits would train there.
But no one knows where this place is.
Raven had a feeling that Aniah's secret was in this place called Nine Snake Island.
She also wanted to go over and enlist as a soldier, but there was a hard requirement to be a soldier in Aniya, at least a first-class Nine Snake Man, that is, a genetically modified person.
This directly discouraged Raven's idea of blending in this way.
As for entering by taking the form of a soldier, Raven didn't dare at all, as the recruitment notice said that he would undergo genetic testing when he was recruited, and if he was found to have not been genetically modified in an attempt to get through, he would face ten years in prison.
Except for those who are lazy and want to find a place where they can have free food, no one will do such a stupid thing.
Raven is reluctant to accept genetic modification, and if he wants to infiltrate Nine Snake Island, he can only wait for Hank to mention it to him the next time he comes to see her, and see if he has any way.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Just as I was thinking about when Hank would come, there was a rhythmic knock at the door.
Sure that it was the agreed code, Raven happily opened the door.
"Charles?" Raven glanced at Charles with a calm face, then stared at Hank, who had the wrong face with an angry gaze, and said fiercely, "Hank, you betrayed me." ”
"Hank didn't betray you, but you were already discovered." Charles said softly, "We're here to help you." ”
Raven's face changed, he looked at Charles incredulously, and then welcomed Charles and the others in surprise.
Charles's words caused her to misunderstand, and she didn't know that the gang she thought was a little different from the gang in Charles's mouth.
Closing the door, Raven couldn't help but gush, "Charles, have you found out too?" It's not a mutant's paradise at all, and that guy's purpose is to destroy mutants. ”
"That genetic modification project is proof of this, you should always trust my judgment this time, that guy is the enemy of mutants, he has bad intentions."
"By the way, I investigated a place called Nine Snake Island, and I think the secret must be in it, but I can't get in, I don't know if you have a way to let me get in."
"This time, I'll definitely find evidence that guy deceived mutants."
......
Looking at the gushing Raven, although Charles couldn't bear it, he still interrupted her with a voice.
"Raven, we're not here to help you complete your mission."
"That's great, with your help~" Raven was stunned for a moment, then turned pale and looked at Charles in horror, "You're not here to help me?" ”
Charles shook his head and persuaded: "Raven, give up, you think you are doing very secretively, in fact, you have been discovered by them from the beginning, not only you, Hank has also been exposed, your every move during this time has been under the surveillance of others, we are here to persuade you not to do stupid things." ”
Charles wanted to persuade Raven, but she didn't believe it at all, and instead looked at them with extreme distrust.
"No way, how could I be discovered, it must be Hank that you betrayed me."
Hank stared at Revan in disbelief with a pair of bull's eyes, he never imagined that Revan would say such a thing.
Charles and Kurt also had the same expression, but a hint of disdain flashed in Jean's eyes.
She now more and more agrees with Lune's words, there is no such thing as trust between people.
But she still couldn't stand Raven slandering Charles like this.
So she said coldly: "The Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, Fury, the Red Devil, Coulson, and the 'Night Stalker' plan, I don't think you told Hank." ”
Without waiting for Raven to react, Jean then said, "Howard Stark's anti-recovery potion is the only one that allowed you to restore your mutant abilities." ”
"After spending so much time in the basement of Xavier Manor, why don't you help the professor clean up the house?"
"The reason why you can still be alive now is because of the professor's face, otherwise~"
A few words in a row made Raven's whole person frightened.
"Jean~ How do you know?"
The three Charles also looked at Jean in shock, and they didn't know what she said.
Jean sneered and didn't speak, but everyone knew that she was telling Raven that Hank hadn't betrayed her, and at the same time proving to her that everything Charles said was true, and warning her that without Charles, she wouldn't be alive now.
Raven sat on the ground in despair, she couldn't have imagined that one moment she was still hoping to find out the conspiracy behind Rune, and the next moment someone told her, stop dreaming, your every move has a pair of eyes staring at you, and everything you do is useless.
Hehe~
He is a clown, and everything he does is a joke in the eyes of others.
But Raven wasn't one to throw in the towel, and the first thing she thought of when she was found out was how to get out of here.
Perhaps seeing Raven's thoughts, Jean smiled.
"If you want to escape, you can try, we won't stop you."
Raven's eyes lit up, only to find Charles shaking his head slightly, revealing a dissuasive gaze.
But Raven didn't believe it at all.
It's not that I don't believe in Charles, it's that I don't believe in Luan.
Escape~ There is a slight chance of survival.
Tied up~ With Rune's means, can he still live?
So, under Charles's pained gaze, Raven turned and rushed to the door.
As everyone knows, her performance like this in Charles's eyes is that she doesn't believe him at all, and in an instant, Charles seems to hear the sound of his heartbreak.
Peng's loud bang.
Raven, who had just opened the door, flew into the room upside down and fell to the ground with a groan of pain.
Kayla, dressed in a flaming red dress, walked in with several heavily armed soldiers.
The face that usually makes people feel like a spring breeze is like a thousand years of cold ice at this time, and a piercing chill fills the room.
"Looks like you've chosen a dead end."
Charles was shocked and hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, Miss Kayla, can you let me talk to the doctor." ”
Kayla gave Charles a cold look, her white fingers pointing at Hank and Raven on the ground.
"Professor, the commander did say that you will be given a face, but your face can only save one, two people, you choose one."
Charles's face turned blue and white for a while, and he was about to speak, but he didn't expect the piano on the side to stand up.
"What if you add mine?"
A cold light flashed in Kayla's eyes: "Jean, you don't have such a big face in front of the commander. ”
Jean gritted her teeth, and the expression on her face kept changing, and finally a trace of determination flashed.
"Add all of me."
Glancing at Jean in surprise, Kayla asked, "Jean, do you know what you're talking about?" There's no regret about it. ”
Ignoring the puzzled gazes of Charles and the others, Jean nodded firmly.
"I know."
Desert's gaze swept over the others, and Kayla said something that made Charles's face change drastically.
"Well, since you're willing to trade you for a face, I think the commander will consider it."
"Jean, what are you doing?" Charles asked loudly.
Hank and Kurt also looked at Jean anxiously.
Jean glanced at Charles and said with a smile: "Professor, you misunderstood, it's not what you think, I won't trade my life for a life that has disappointed people countless times." ”
"Professor, aren't you going to see the commander? I want you to see the Commander and you'll know why. ”
Kayla interrupted coldly.
