Chapter 142: Assassination

New Town Museum.

The teachers of the Mutant Academy are taking the students on a tour.

The Storm Goddess explains the history of each exhibit in the museum for the younger students.

On the other side, Jasmine, Bobby, and John, three senior students, came to the food court.

The three of them sat around a small table and chatted.

John played with a lighter in his hand.

At this time, two young men of about the same age as the three of them walked over.

"Man, borrow a fire."

John squinted his eyes and said casually, "Sorry, personal belongings are not borrowed." ”

John then ignored it and continued to chat with Bobbi and Jasmine.

However, the young man took advantage of John's inattention and snatched John's lighter.

"Hey!" John tried to reclaim it, but was stopped by another of the young man's companions.

John said with an unhappy face: "Dude, you are so funny, what do you want?" ”

The young man lit a cigarette with John's lighter and defiantly blew the smoke ring on John's face.

"Why can't you be fierce!"

John laughed angrily.

He swore that he had done the best he could, but the man himself would die.

John's gaze was fixed on the young man's hand.

Coax!

The flame of tobacco instantly ignited the cuffs of the youth.

The young man shook off the cigarette in his hand and slapped his cuffs violently, but the fire grew more and more intense.

Seeing this, Bobby immediately emitted a cold breath from his hand, extinguishing the flames on the young man's body.

At this moment, the entire museum suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stood still, as if time had stopped.

Only the mobile phones of individual visitors emitted sounds.

The three of them looked around, and the whole museum was in this situation.

Jasmine said to Bobby, "Bobbie, what are you doing here?" ”

Bobbi waved his hand, "I didn't do it. ”

"Yes." Professor X drove his wheelchair and led the rest of the academy to find the three people: "I did it." ”

Then Professor X put away his former charitable face and said to the three of them solemnly: "Don't show off your abilities in the future!" ”

Professor X's ability is not enough for him to control the activities of multiple people at the same time, but he can give the same command to people within a certain range.

For example, to stand still, to stop thinking.

John frowned, trying to explain to Professor X that it was the humans who provoked it first.

However, the TV in the hall of the museum came out with a news that grabbed everyone's attention.

"Breaking news, attack on the Oval Office of the White House."

"The specific situation is still being followed up, and it is now certain that the deputy is safe and sound."

"Sources indicate that the attackers were one or more mutants..."

After the news on TV ended, Scott said, "Professor, I think we should go." ”

"The authorities have ...... Yes, it's time to go back! ”

Professor X is trying to discuss the message with the other teachers.

It suddenly dawned on me that these topics should not be discussed in museums, let alone in front of children.

……

Mutant Academy meeting room.

Laser-eyed Scott said firmly, "In my opinion, Magneto is the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Scotter's method of reasoning is simple.

There is a motive for assassination, and at the same time it is able to command mutants.

Only Magneto can meet these two conditions.

"No, I don't think so!" Professor X shook his head and explained:

"While Eric has the potential to manipulate these things in prison, there's no point in doing so."

"And it will only get in the way of what he wants the mutants to hope for!"

Professor X knows Magneto very well, and Magneto wouldn't do something like this thankless.

Scott walked over to the couch across from Professor X and sat down, "You're talking about the merit theory. ”

The superiority theory states that mutants are superior to humans, and that mutants should rule over humans.

The proposer of the theory of superiority cannot be verified.

However, under the promotion of the Brotherhood of Mutants, the theory of superiority has a high reputation among mutants.

"That's right!" Professor X continued, "If Eric continues to insist. ”

The Storm Goddess walked over from the window, "And the government will naturally restart the mutant registration bill." ”

Professor X raised his head and looked at everyone gloomily: "Maybe it could be worse, you can declare martial law and throw all the mutants in jail." ”

It's a situation that no one wants to see, but it's also the most likely scenario.

Xiaohong, who had not spoken all this time, thought for a long time and asked, "Do you think the assassination is acting alone?" ”

Professor X looked at Xiaohong: "Just find him." ”

"However, his whereabouts are erratic, and it is difficult for me to track him down with the help of a superbrain device."

"When I find his exact location, Storm Girl and Jean will go and get him back."

Scott asked, "Need to ask for help like the Avengers?" ”

This time, the professor thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need, try not to let the Avengers know until the truth is investigated." ”

The Mutant Academy has already teamed up with the Avengers.

But the Avengers belong to an organization initiated by S.H.I.E.L.D. after all.

S.H.I.E.L.D., on the other hand, has a background in the United Nations.

In general, it can be considered a federal department.

Mutant assassination, an event that could cause war between humans and mutants.

The Avengers and the Mutant Academy are not exactly in the same position.

……

Editorial Department of Planet Daily.

With the cancellation of the mutant registration bill, the heat of the events related to it has gradually subsided.

Clark and Louis, sorting through tomorrow's newspaper copy.

Thor is arranged by Clark to exercise to prevent him from becoming a three-high fat house in the future.

At this time, a colleague of Clark's walked in with a newspaper from another newspaper.

"Big news, big news, there's a mutant assassinated this morning. Fortunately, he was not injured. ”

The colleague handed the newspaper to Clark and continued: "Now that the report of the assassination has been reported, it looks like it's too late. ”

"But the topic of mutants is sure to be a hot event again."

Clark took the newspaper and read it around with the rest of his colleagues.

The newspaper information was detailed, and even the assassin had a frontal photo.

The assassin in the photo is a man with dark blue skin and a long tail.

Daredevil assassination, this is the plot in X-Men II.

But isn't this the right time?

The Daredevil assassination should be at least half a year away from the UN summit.

But now less than half a month has passed since the United Nations summit.

It seems that because of his appearance, the plot has been advanced.
