Chapter 172: She didn't have a choice

Received a message from Professor X.

Clark and Hank, rushing to the Mutant Academy non-stop.

Clark had previously mentioned to Professor X that Kama Taj might be able to help Jean Gray.

At that time, the consolation component was overwhelming.

However, Clark didn't expect Professor X to send Scat directly to take Jean Gray to find Kama Taj.

Now that Jean Gray is back alone, Clark feels a little unpleasant.

You must know that in the original plot, Scott was killed because of the dark phoenix storm in Jean Gray's body.

Clark shook his head, that shouldn't happen.

Last time, he had scared the Dark Phoenix back.

Professor X also strengthened the restrictions on the Dark Phoenix.

The Dark Phoenix shouldn't be so easy to go berserk.

Enter the Mutant Academy.

Hank and Clark immediately head to the lab.

In the infirmary at this time, Hong lay calmly on the laboratory table.

Only Professor X and Wolverine were present in the entire lab.

Everyone else has been dismissed by Professor X.

Hank saw Jean Gray on the test bench and asked anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" What happened to Jean Gray? ”

As a mutant, one of the most senior teachers in the academy.

Hank's affection for every student is no less than that of Professor X.

Professor X shook his head and said, "I asked Scott to take Jean Gray to find a place, and yesterday I suddenly lost contact with them."

"Jean Gray showed up at the school gate today and was spotted by Wolverine."

In order not to reveal Clark's identity, Professor X hid Kama Taj's information.

Scott's disappearance made everyone feel very anxious.

But now we can only wait for Jean Gray to wake up.

Wolverine, who was standing silent, asked, "When will Jean Gray wake up?" ”

Professor X puts his hands on Jean Gray's ears and uses his abilities to explore Jean Gray's thoughts.

"Her superpowers have encased her in a telekinesis shield, and I can't probe her."

Wolverine walked into Jean Gray's bed, quietly looked at Jean Gray's face, frowned and asked, "Will she be okay?" ”

Professor X smiled and said to Wolverine:

"Jean Gray is the only Omega-class mutant I've ever met, and his potential is inherently limitless."

"Her mutation is rooted in the subconscious, and that's where the danger lies."

Everyone present, except for Wolverine, knew more or less about Jean Gray's condition.

So he said this specifically to Wolverine.

Wolverine has a crush on Jean Gray. It's no secret.

Coupled with Wolverine's reckless and impulsive personality, X feels that if he doesn't tell him these truths, he might do something drastic.

Professor X sighed and continued, "When she was young, I created a series of mental barriers that cut her abilities off her consciousness. ”

As a result, she gradually developed a dual personality.

Wolverine frowned and looked at Professor X, "What? ”

In Wolverine's view, Professor X's behavior is tantamount to restricting Jean Gray's freedom.

Wolverine couldn't understand why Professor X, whom he had always respected, would do this.

Seeing Wolverine's reaction, Professor X was not surprised, and continued:

"Sober Jean Gray can control her abilities."

"And the dormant personality, in the course of our psychotherapy, she called herself the Dark Phoenix."

Professor X looked quietly ahead, as if in deep thought, and said with a hollow look in his eyes:

"The Dark Phoenix is a creature driven purely by instinct, full of lust and anger."

Wolverine crossed his waist, and the more he listened, the more he felt heaviness, and he tried to calm himself down and asked, "How much does Jean know?" ”

Clark and Hank, who were present, actually felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn, but they didn't know how to break this deadlock, so they could only look at Professor X quietly.

A vacant-eyed Professor X focused his gaze on Jean Gray once more and said, "I'm not sure how much he knows. ”

"The more important question now is whether the woman in front of us is Jean Gray, who we are familiar with, or the dark phoenix who desperately longs for freedom."

Professor X doesn't know what Jean Gray and Scott have been through on their way to the East in search of Kama Taj.

Now the worst result is that the Dark Phoenix awakens and kills Scott.

The Kama Taj that Clark spoke of is far away from the other side of the world.

Overnight, Jean Gray returned to the Mutant Academy.

And did not take any means of transport.

This is impossible for Jean Gray to do this with a sober state alone.

When Clark saw Jean Gray at this time, he said, "I think she's in a calm state right now. ”

Professor X shook his head, "I was the one who kept her like this. ”

"Strive to restore the spiritual barrier and imprison the beast once again."

Wolverine frowned and asked Professor X, "What did you do to her?" ”

Professor X, who was in a wheelchair, raised his eyes slightly to look at Wolverine: "Logan, you know, her consciousness ......"

Before Professor X could finish speaking, Wolverine whispered, "That's Jean's consciousness." ”

Professor X didn't dodge and made direct contact with Wolverine: "She has to be controlled. ”

Seeing this, Hank hurriedly said as a peacemaker, "Let's wait for Jean Gray to wake up." ”

"Control?" Wolverine ignored Hank and walked straight to Professor X and said, "Sometimes you imprison the beast, and the beast will only get angrier. ”

Professor X still said to Wolverine in a calm tone, "You don't have a concept, you can't imagine what he can do. ”

"No, Professor." Wolverine shook his head, still firmly believing in his philosophy: "I didn't know you could do such a thing. ”

Professor X raised his voice and said sharply, "I was faced with a dilemma, I could only choose the one that was relatively harmless. ”

Seeing that Professor X and Wolverine were getting closer and closer, Clark walked between the two and dragged Wolverine away: "Let's go out and wait, don't disturb Dr. Jean Gray's rest." ”

Wolverine was dragged to the door, turned around and said, "In my opinion, Jean has no choice at all. ”

Professor X lowered his head and sighed, "I don't have to defend myself, at least not for you. ”

Hear this. Wolverine struggled to free Clark and left angrily.

……

On an empty wilderness road.

Several pilot vehicles, followed by a large pickup truck, formed a convoy and drove rapidly down the road.

The driver at the front of the convoy saw a figure standing in the middle of the road.

The driver honked his horn, but the man in the middle of the road did not respond.

This man was none other than Magneto, wearing a helmet and a cape.

Just when it was about to collide.

Magneto suddenly raised a hand, and the entire vehicle was suspended in the air.

As the man clenched his fist with one hand, the vehicle was flattened into a piece of scrap metal.

The convoy was still moving at a high speed.

Magneto, who was standing in the middle of the road, waved his hand lightly and lifted the bed of the pickup truck.

At the same time, all vehicles are crushed into scrap metal.
