"Details of the 2003 Alcali Lake Dam Burst........."

"The mysterious phenomenon that spread around the world three years ago, the stinging brain that almost destroyed all mankind, really originated from the electromagnetic storm disclosed by the official? Or is it a deliberate attack by a mutant on all of humanity? ”

"The Warrington Group is suspected of developing some kind of drug that could change the current situation in the world, and a press conference will be held in the near future."

"Trask Industries' new generation of Sentinel Robots has been officially included in the city's armament, and the Sentinels will guard the safety of all humanity and put an end to every potential mutant criminal."

"The fire broke out at the Fighter Bar four hours ago, the fire is fierce and cannot be extinguished by conventional fire extinguishing facilities, it is suspected that it is another mutant ability awakening incident, please see the live report below......"

…………

On the computer screen that emitted a glimmer of light, Xu Yue called up the news reports one by one, and by carefully examining these reports involving all aspects of society, he quickly determined the current point in time.

"X-Men 3: The Last Stand."

Whispering the specific name of the current point in time, a large number of plot memories began to churn in his mind, and after a long time, Xu Yue's somewhat empty eyes gradually condensed, and quickly returned to flattening.

The so-called plot can only be used as a reference, and compared to this real and vast world, the perspective revealed by the plot is inevitably much more limited.

You can learn from it, but you must not believe it too much, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable, and the Imperial Capital Massacre caused in the Dragon Nest World is the best example.

Returning from his memory, he looked back at the computer screen in front of him, and after determining the specific timeline, combined with the plot memory in his mind, he also had a clearer understanding of the information hidden behind these news reports.

The 'Alcali Lake Dam Burst' and the 'Mysterious Phenomenon Affecting the World' mentioned in the first two articles of the story are all derived from a conspiracy against Professor X many years ago.

In 2003, Colonel Stryker, who was affiliated with the military, interrogated Magneto, who was still in government custody, and learned about Professor X's hidden terror.

Soon after, taking advantage of the Professor's visit to Magneto, Stryker devised an ambush and successfully captured the Professor.

At the same time, a large number of troops raided X Academy at night, and because the main force of the X-Men was out on duty, the academy guards were seriously lacking, resulting in an exceptionally smooth raid.

While most of the students escaped through the Secret Tunnels, the army also got what they wanted most, a brainwave amplifier that greatly boosted their psychic power.

At this point, Stryker has completed all the preparations, and in the secret base located at the Alcali Lake Dam, he completely manipulates Professor X through drugs and illusions, and orders him to use the brainwave intensifier to pinpoint and kill all the mutants in the world, so as to solve the mutant problem once and for all.

This is the power of the so-called mutant bipolar, and with the blessing of the brainwave amplifier, the professor's psychic power can even easily destroy all intelligent life on this planet.

Stryker's plan was perfect, but unfortunately the mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch was behind, and the extermination plan was just halfway through the implementation of the Magneto, who escaped from captivity, quietly appeared.

But he didn't come to save Professor X, but manipulated the professor with the same means, changing the target of extermination from mutants to all humans, so as to realize the mutants' ambition to take over the world.

As a result, there is a mysterious phenomenon that spread around the world three years ago, and the lives of all human beings are in danger under the power of a mutant.

At the critical moment, the X-Men finally arrived, and they forcibly destroyed the brainwave amplifier and brought the professor back to his senses, but the battle during the rescue also caused serious damage to the dam and collapsed.

Eventually, before the dam was about to collapse completely, they led the professor to escape, and a global crisis was averted.

The only price was that an X-Men was completely engulfed by the raging flood to cover everyone's escape.

Although the crisis has been resolved, the aftermath of the incident is even more far-reaching, and ordinary people may not know the exact cause of the mysterious phenomenon, but the government is clear about it.

Although Stryker is a colonel, whether it is using Magneto, who is imprisoned by the government, to lure out Professor X, or mobilizing the army to encircle and suppress X Academy, these things are far from being able to do this level alone without the tacit approval of the military.

The power of a single person to wipe out all of humanity is far greater than that of a nuclear weapon, and is enough to cause deep fear in any ruler.

In fact, after the Psychic Storm was over, the government was soon ready for all-out war and the burning of jade.

Just as the president was about to announce to the world that he was about to completely tear his face with the mutant community, the professor, who had just escaped from the dam, had already led the X-Men to the scene without stopping.

By getting documents from Stryker's office and his own force of intimidation, the professor sends a message to the top of the government.

The whole incident was Colonel Stryker's own action, and since the government had no knowledge of it, humans and mutants were both victims of the incident, so there was a basis for cooperation.

Rather than a full-scale war, it is better for both sides to shake hands and make peace before the situation has developed out of control, after all, once a war breaks out, both sides will only lose both.

Dumping the pot + secret threat + kind words and persuasion, the whole process is done in one go, and it is extremely silky.

With one hand and the other hand, the human government, which was not ready for all-out war, finally agreed to the professor's suggestion, and they took the initiative to cover up the truth of this mysterious event and minimize its impact in society as much as possible.

The mutant group can always exist under the oppression of mainstream society, and it has never relied on the so-called human rights and human goodwill, but the real deterrence of force.

Blind compromise can never be exchanged for respect, it will only bring more serious oppression, this truth is very clear to the professor, as he awakened the ability at a young age, can see through people's hearts, he has a deep enough understanding of the darkness of human nature.

He's a moderate, yes, but he's never been a appeaser, otherwise he wouldn't have created the X-Men as an independent armed force at the same time as the X-Academy.

The mutant bipolar is not just a name, but two literal swords of Damocles hanging above the heads of humans.

Humans have the power to destroy or enslave the entire mutant community, but once they act, they must be prepared to be frantically retaliated by the top combat power of the mutants.

This is the fundamental reason why Magneto has been arrested many times and is still safe and sound, and it is also the mysterious event that almost destroyed all mankind will be covered by the high-level of both sides, and finally quietly disappear from the invisible reality basis.

However, on the surface, although the big things are small and the small things are small, the secret human government's various research on mutants has invariably accelerated the pace.

After a short period of fear, a deep sense of unease came over me, and although the crisis was resolved at a critical moment, what about the next time?

No ruler is willing to put the lives of all mankind above Professor X's so-called moral standards.

The uncontrollable power is an absolute threat, which has nothing to do with morality or reason, and since ancient times, the strong desire for control of the human species, which is deeply rooted in the bloodline, does not change depending on the region and race.

The reports on the computer screen about the Warxington Group and Trask Industries represent two main human targets against the mutant community, the former being the milder kind of encroachment, and the latter being the most brutal and bloody massacre.

And the only thing that is the same is that behind these two methods, there is a deep malice of human beings towards mutants.

The sentry robot, which symbolizes force, will evolve into a mechanical frenzy of extinction in the future, but at this stage, there is still more than ten years of research and development distance from the final product, so there is no need to worry about it in the short term.

Xu Yue's main attention was focused on the third report about the Warrington Group, and the news that a press conference would be held soon, indicating that the "antidote" drug developed by the group has matured and is ready to enter the market.

It's a vast maelstrom that is about to trigger a violent conflict between humans and mutants, and the antidote can suppress mutant abilities for a long time, creating the illusion of almost permanent elimination of genetic mutations.

For humans, this is an effective antidote that can completely uproot the mutant tumor and alleviate the conflict between the two camps, but for mutants, this thing will undoubtedly cut off their roots.

Once the antidote is completely controlled by the human side, the mutant camp will inevitably become rootless duckweed within a few years, and they will gradually degenerate from an independent racial camp to pathological vegetations attached to human society, and will eventually be completely cured as a malignant disease.

Neither the radical Mutant Brotherhood nor the moderate X-Men will ever allow this to happen, and the 'antidote' must and can only be controlled by the mutant camp, which is a chronic poison against the entire mutant race.

In short, no matter which side he joins next, the task of the next link will most likely be related to the antidote in the hands of the Warrington Group, and the most important thing he needs to consider now is only which side he can absorb the greatest benefits by joining.

Thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of steady footsteps behind Xu Yue, Ah Fu approached from behind with a map, spread the map in his hand on the table on the side, he pointed to a small red dot on the map and said:

"Master, we've found the location of Xavier's Gifted Junior School, which is about half a day's drive from us."

"Are we going to join the X-Men?"

Hearing this, Xu Yue lowered his eyes and looked at the address of the college marked on the map, and nodded in affirmation to Ah Fu's question.

Xavier's Talent School, also known as the X Academy, is actually a better choice than the X-Men camp for his style of acting and his talent for hunting strong people to ignite the fire, whether it is the Mutant Brotherhood or the Trask Industry on the human side.

However, he owes Professor X a favor, a big favor, if there is no mental space and the corresponding spiritual barrier, maybe he would have become a madman with many alien beast personalities under the side effects of his talent, the kind that Jiuli Battle Banner can't save.

Without the protection of the psychic barrier, the more flames he absorbs, the more uncontrollable beast splitting souls will automatically emerge, and he may be able to become stronger at that time, but it will be difficult for him to maintain himself.

Even self-consciousness has the possibility of being completely swallowed up and drowned, and the power that cannot be controlled can only be a burden.

So he must return this favor, even if the derivative world is fleeting, and all changes will be overturned after he leaves, but since he has come to this world, he can't help but sit idly by, even if he only wants peace of mind.

And as long as it works well, there are many benefits he can get from the X-Men.

The light in his eyes flashed, he turned his head to look at Ah Fu at his side, condensed a mirror from his hand and threw it to him, and said slowly:

"It's right to join the X-Men, but it's not us, it's me."

"You have a more important mission, go to Cairo, find the sleeping place of the apocalypse, and then inform me as soon as possible."

Apocalypse, known as the oldest mutant, belongs to the world's second combat force other than the Phoenix, and can destroy and rebuild an entire city with a single hand.

In the rebooted X-Men new timeline, the opponent will wake up from a slumber in 1983, and within hours of waking up, he will learn about all the historical developments of these thousands of years through the Internet, and destroy all the nuclear weapons of mankind at the same time, which is too much to turn the entire world upside down.

In the current old timeline, the other party should still be sleeping deep in the underground of Cairo, although the faction marked by Paradise does not include the Apocalypse, there will definitely be contractors who choose to take risks to find his location.

Once he succeeded in awakening the Apocalypse, the benefits he could get were definitely worth it, but it was not in Xu Yue's interests.

Apocalypse can be awakened, but not now, so he needs Ah Fu as his eyes to go to Cairo in advance to investigate the situation.

As for the specific information of the apocalypse, Ah Fu also knew it well after doing his homework in advance, and he didn't need to explain too much, after hearing the name of Cairo, he quickly knew the specific purpose of his lord sending him.

Taking the thrown magic mirror body, he said in a deep voice:

"I'll be on to Cairo at once."

"Well, when you arrive, pay attention to check for signs of the contractor's activity, and if you find something, don't venture in, just contact me through the magic mirror immediately."

"Yes!"

With the charm of the demon and the puppet body, although Ah Fu's combat power is slightly inferior, but his ability to explore and search is far stronger than him, as long as the apocalypse is still sleeping under Cairo, he will inevitably not be able to escape Ah Fu's search, which Xu Yue is quite relieved.

It's just that the action must be fast, and he is far from the only one who wants to find the apocalypse, so after receiving the order, Ah Fudang left in a hurry, preparing to rush to Cairo as soon as possible.

The footsteps behind him faded away, and Xu Yue put the map on his side into the space, and raised his eyes to look at the last report on the computer screen.

"The fire broke out at the Fighter Bar four hours ago, the fire is fierce and cannot be extinguished by conventional fire extinguishing facilities, it is suspected that it is another mutant ability awakening incident, please see the live report below......"

The Fighter Bar was the exterior building that was used to cover the underground boxing ring, and before leaving, he had deliberately burned it clean with pure impotence.

Now that the destruction of the bar is linked to the awakening of mutant abilities, it may not be long before the X-Men will take the initiative to find him.

The so-called mutant ability awakening generally refers to the fact that in infancy, or adolescence, after the mutant's genetic mutation reaches a threshold, the mutant ability in the body will awaken for the first time and begin to explode uncontrollably.

It's okay to say that ordinary mutant abilities are good, but those mutant abilities that are strong and have a wide range of effects often cause great damage to the outside world in the process of awakening and exploding.

There are also vicious incidents of blasting an entire neighborhood and even killing hundreds of people in an instant.

Every year, people and damaged facilities die due to the awakening of mutant abilities, and most of the people who are affected and die are the relatives and friends of mutants who are most familiar.

The reason why human society hates and persecutes mutant groups so much also occupies a great reason, and hatred is always without reason.

A large part of the mutant students collected by X Academy have caused a lot of damage to the surrounding environment during the awakening process, on the one hand, this part of the young mutants will inevitably be feared and even hostile by their relatives and friends around them because of the damage caused, and the academy can protect them well.

On the other hand, any child who can cause great damage when awakened shows that they have extremely high potential, belong to the elite class of mutants, and have more than one stone to enter the academy.

Therefore, X Academy will always focus on those cases related to the awakening of mutants, and react quickly, and now that the report of the fire in this fighter bar comes out, it should not be long before he will receive the attention of the professor, and the forces that have heard the news are definitely not only the X-Men.

Even if he has slaughtered everyone in the underground gladiatorial arena, in this world full of black technology, it is not so simple to completely remove the traces.

Recalling the specific information of the various forces in his mind again, Xu Yue pondered for a moment, then turned off the computer in front of him, and then got up and walked in the direction of the bedroom.

The place where he is at this time is a property belonging to the owner of the boxing ring, which was obtained by Ah Fu when he searched the second floor of the boxing stadium, and they left the stadium and went straight to this property to search for information through the Internet.

If it is too late today, there is still a five-day time limit for the main mission of the first ring, and there is no need to rush for a while, he is ready to rest here for one night first, waiting for the reaction of various forces.

If there is no news tomorrow, then he will rush directly to the Xavier Talent Youth Academy where the professor is located, in the process of searching for information just now, he already has a rough plan, if it can be successfully realized, then this time the benefits will definitely be very high.

…………

On the second day, the morning light shone through the glazed windows into the bedroom on the second floor of the European-style villa.

Xu Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and he felt a vast spiritual power slowly infiltrating his brain, although the movement was very gentle, but just touching it caused a faint shaking of the spiritual barrier.

"Good morning, Professor, your arrival is coming sooner than I expected."

The bland words spit out from Xu Yue's mouth, but they caused the spiritual power entrenched around to fluctuate slightly, and it wasn't until a few breaths later that a particularly familiar gentle voice sounded in Xu Yue's mind.

"Good morning, Torch, and I hope it doesn't disturb your rest."

Getting up from the sitting state, Xu Yue casually put on the wolf coat placed on the side, and said slowly:

"Thankfully, I'm nostalgic to hear your voice again, so are you in the neighborhood now, or are you at Academy X?"

The words fell, and the voice in his head was silent again for a moment before it sounded again.

"You seem to be familiar with me, but remember, we shouldn't know each other?"

………

On the other side, in the brainwave amplification room located under Xavier's Talent Youth Academy, a trace of surprise flashed in Professor X's eyes, surrounded by a large amount of light and shadow.

He could sense that the nostalgia revealed by the flame's words was not false, but when he counted his long memories of more than seventy years, he really had no memory of it.

As for directly inquiring into the other person's memory, maybe he would do it when he was younger, but at this age, if it is not necessary, he will not rashly look through the memories and thoughts of others without permission, which is the most basic respect, even if the process is not known to others.

It's easy to deceive others, but it's hard to deceive yourself, he has always taught students not to abuse their mutant abilities, and the premise of educating people, first of all, is to lead by example, and in his old age, he has been able to restrain his curiosity and inquiry very well.

But in the next second, after perceiving the specific situation on the other side, the professor's originally calm emotions suddenly rippled, and he felt a breath that should not appear in the hands of others.

"It's ...... Psychic barriers? ”

………

In the bedroom on the second floor, a milky white translucent chain flew out of Xu Yue's hand and kept circling in the palm of his hand.

At the moment when the chain appeared, the peaceful psychic power around it instantly became turbulent, and a large number of people gathered around the chain.

Although the aura and image have changed a lot, the professor can be sure that the essence of this chain definitely comes from the spiritual barrier he created, and he is extremely familiar with the internal structure of spiritual energy.

But how can the spiritual barrier appear in the hands of others?

Listening to the suspicion in his mind, Xu Yue withdrew the spiritual chain in his palm into his body, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly, which was the biggest reliance on his confidence to join the X-Men quickly.

The various forces in this world are not just something that can be joined, except for the mutant brotherhood, which is not taboo in meat and vegetarians, other forces have more or less conditional requirements.

Especially the X-Men, in addition to their strong combat power, they must also pass Professor X's mental review, and those with ulterior motives, or those who are too vicious, will not be recognized by the professor.

But he is different, the unique spiritual barrier is the best pass, he can gain the trust of the professor in the most direct way, after all, this thing can be forcibly taken from the professor's brain except for a voluntary gift.

"That's right, it's your mental barrier, I don't know the professor of this timeline, but I know you long after."

"In a sense, I'm your future student, long time no see, Professor."

Words of reverence echoed slowly through the empty room, and it was a long silence before he heard the professor's somewhat complicated voice again.

"It looks like a lot of things are going on in the future, maybe we need to meet each other."

"Scott has gone to pick you up, I'll be waiting for you at the academy, Torch."

"See you later, Professor."

………

As the words fell, the spiritual power that filled the entire room began to dissipate, and soon disappeared completely, Xu Yue was not surprised by the professor's reaction.

The abilities of mutants are strange, and in the professor's decades of teaching career, he has seen too many mysterious and unique mutant abilities, and crossing the timeline may seem fantastical to ordinary people, but for professors, it is not unacceptable.

After all, the Psychic Barrier does not deceive, and perceiving lies is common for psychic superpowers.

Restraining his divergent thoughts, Xu Yue glanced at the empty bedroom, and then walked towards the door, there was still some time before Scott's arrival, he was going to go to the first floor to solve the problem of food and clothing, and then wait for the X-Men's special plane pick-up service.

But as soon as he walked down the stairs on the second floor, his steps slammed, and a violent explosion sounded from outside the villa, which was a warning mine he had buried in the courtyard.

His footsteps stagnated, Xu Yue quickly looked up in the direction of the explosion, and with the light step of his right foot, his perception expanded along the vibration instantly, and the three-dimensional image of the outside of the villa immediately appeared clearly in his mind.

Three sentry robots several meters tall were approaching the villa from all directions, surrounded by four or five police cars and a dozen armed men armed with various equipment.

Accompanied by a roaring explosion, an apparently amplified warning sound simultaneously entered the villa.

"Mutants, you are suspected of massacring a large number of federal citizens, burning public property, endangering social security and many other crimes, immediately give up resistance and surrender!"
