Chapter 8 Only Independence

"Save ......"

Salvage, as the name suggests, specifically means recovering losses from distress or distress and saving lives.

From this simple word alone, the professor is enough to think that the final outcome of future mutants may not be good.

Although it had been expected, this answer silenced the atmosphere in the room for a moment.

"Can you show me a story that takes place in another timeline?"

"Of course!"

As the words fell, an invisible mental fluctuation slowly seeped into the professor's brain, which contained a large amount of memory information.

The Ant Clan's psychic communication, which has taken hundreds of years to gradually perfect, is of course not limited to transmitting sounds, in addition to basic communication, pictures and even memories are also within the scope of transmission.

After being developed to a certain level, you can even awaken a promotion skill similar to the Psychic Illusion.

Feeling the mental fluctuations from Xu Yue directly in front of him, the professor's eyes flickered, and then he took the initiative to withdraw his spiritual defense.

Soon, clear memories began to echo in his mind, and through these memories, the professor saw an even older and more embarrassed version of himself, as well as the Wolverine Logan, who was dependent on him for his life.

He saw that he was broken and sad in the torment of illness and guilt; saw Logan's sideburns and lame legs after his self-healing ability fell to the bottom, and his body was covered in bruises; saw his group fleeing in embarrassment under the pursuit of human forces.

I saw myself dying in a pool of blood, I also saw Logan reborn in the flames, and the fate of mutants who could hardly see the future.

Through Xu Yue's perspective, every picture in his memory was filled with a sad and lonely tone, and as the top psychic ability, he could easily determine that these were not false illusions, but extremely real memories that had never been changed.

In addition to these coherent memories, the messages are interspersed with fragmented images: of him being torn to dust by his own students, the grief of Logan's corpse holding Jean in ruins, and the corpses of countless mutants piled up under the sentry robots......

Compared to the former, the latter image is obviously not a real memory, and if it were the latter, perhaps the professor would have regarded it as an alarmist illusion, after all, he had suffered a big loss at the hands of a mutant who was good at illusions three years ago.

But with a mental barrier and exhaustive memory as a guarantee, he quickly accepted the authenticity of these images.

After a long time, the spiritual connection was broken, and the professor opened his slightly closed eyes, his eyes were full of complexity, after all, in the picture just now, he died twice in succession, and what made him sigh more than his own death was the mutant ending revealed in the information.

"This is the future of mutants in another timeline, genetic suppression, sentinel extinction, fate never seems to favor our species, always so cruel."

The words are very lonely, but they are not afraid, no matter how desperate the future in the picture is, it is just an aftermath that happens on another timeline, and the fate of the current time and space is never predestined.

As soon as Xu Yue stepped into this room and revealed these memories to him, the predetermined ending had been disturbed, and what he, a future student, had brought was not only a prophecy, but also a pen and ink to rewrite the future, which the professor saw very clearly.

Recalling the memory images that had been rolling in his mind before, the professor rubbed his temples, which were slightly swollen from receiving too much information in a short period of time, and said in a deep voice:

"So the future of gene suppression comes from the Warrington Group, and the Sentinel extinction comes from Trask Industries, is that the main driver of our two eschatological destinies?"

Facing the professor's summary, his face turned a little pale, Xu Yue shook his head slowly, this kind of large-scale transmission of memories is also not a small drain on him, and he also has to accurately eliminate the pictures in his memory that may expose the information of the paradise, which requires more effort.

"It's true that it's the pusher, but the main root cause of the mutant apocalypse is not this, to put it bluntly, these two are just pawns in the front, even if we solve them in advance, it can only delay the time when the final apocalypse comes, without Trask Industries, there will be a Stryker industry, or Sippelwalt industry......, endlessly"

As he spoke, Xu Yue turned over his hand and took out two small teacups and a black gourd, and the gourd in his hand was poured, and the royal jelly like liquid gold suddenly flowed into the teacup from the mouth of the gourd, and at the same time, a strange sweet fragrance also spread to the entire room in an instant.

Sending one of the cups to the professor, and the other cup was directly drunk by him, there are not a few royal jelly brought back from the mysterious island, and he also has two channels for subsequent replenishment in his hands, so he can naturally be somewhat extravagant.

Royal jelly is soft in the mouth, its taste is still mellow, his originally pale complexion quickly regained its ruddyness, and his stinging and chaotic thoughts returned to peace under nourishment, Xu Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and continued:

"To be precise, the root of the mutant apocalypse comes from the dominant human beings in society, human beings are creatures with a strong hostility to aliens, just like the paper published by the professor when you were young, 60,000 years ago, Neanderthals were replaced by Homo sapiens, and the extinction of Neanderthals was exchanged for Homo sapiens gradually onto the stage of history."

"This is very similar to the historical situation of mutants and humans today, the only difference is that Neanderthals lack intelligence, while humans are different, so they recognize the threat of mutants in advance and are full of vigilance."

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the process of race change is always cruel and bloody, especially in this country, the American continent under our feet is the territory they have won after slaughtering tens of millions of Native American people, and they know better than anyone how cruel race change is."

"Professor, you can't integrate into humanity by peace and compromise, they are naturally xenophobic, and no matter how harmless you behave, they always have the deepest malice and vigilance towards the alien."

"What's more, from the day of their birth, mutants have automatically mastered the powerful weapon of extraordinary ability, which is our racial characteristic, but it is also the source of chaos that causes human beings to covet and fear, which is a fundamental contradiction and inevitable."

"This kingdom has taken the land under our feet by raising a butcher's knife to the outside world, so they will be afraid, afraid that the same fate will come again, they will never allow a second butcher's knife to fall on their necks, and they will do whatever it takes to put an end to this possibility, even if it is another genocide."

"Whether it is the genetic suppression of the Warxington Group or the Sentinel Armament of Trask Industries, it is the manifestation of this fear consciousness, human beings will not care about the camp and position of the mutant race itself, this is a struggle for the survival of the race, it has nothing to do with good and evil, and human beings are already blowing the horn."

………

Xu Yue's tone was not passionate, he was just calmly expounding the facts, but the facts themselves were full of power.

Under this bland explanation, the professor's expression, which had gradually eased down after taking a sip of royal jelly, began to change again, and his brows furrowed slightly towards Xu Yue, and the other party's argument was very similar to the proposition of an old friend of his.

"Sounds like you're more supportive of Magneto's claims."

With the figure of an old friend in mind, the professor sighed lightly and said slowly:

"I know the malice of human beings, their greed and fear are clearly visible in my eyes, but fire, our strength is not enough to confront human beings head-on, once we take the initiative to cause a war, maybe we can hit humanity hard, but mutants will also be on the verge of extinction, and the destruction of both may be the only result."

"Magneto can be aggressive, he will make humanity maintain proper restraint and restraint towards mutants, but I can't, the X-Men must act as a link to ease the contradictions between the two sides in order to maintain this fragile peace, and besides, my ability is too dangerous, mental manipulation is far more fearful than physical destruction, as long as I show any signs of losing control, the government will immediately carry out the most complete destruction of this territory."

"I founded Xavier's Talent Academy, formed the X-Men, I sheltered them, and they protected me, part of the reason why humanity recognizes the legitimacy of the academy is to reconcile conflicts, and partly, to limit my abilities, every mutant here is my student and my cage, Professor X, or X-Men, can't risk ......"

As the conversation progressed, the professor gradually showed a more real side, his kindness and gentleness were true, but he was by no means the good old man in the movie who had illusions about human beings, he awakened his spiritual ability from an early age, and knew better than anyone how thick the darkness of human nature can be, and also understood the extent to which human beings can achieve for the survival of the race.

In the professor's time, mutants were far less powerful than humans, so he chose to establish the academy, putting his hope in the future.

But now, Xu Yue has brought him quite unfortunate news, the future of mutants is still bleak, and even more miserable.

Looking at each other, Xu Yue did not deny the professor's point of view, in fact, no one denied the contribution of this old man to all mutants in the first half of his life, without him to reconcile it, perhaps the war between the two sides, or the one-sided slaughter, would have already begun.

Mutant bipolar, this title represents more than just strength.

However, the world has changed, and now it is different from the past, and the path of the professor may have been quite fruitful in the past, but now the mutants have no way forward, and the poor will change, and the change will be successful, and they must change their way to have a glimmer of life.

"Professor, it's not that we want to take the initiative to start a war, but that the war has already begun, and the apocalyptic future in memory is just around the corner."

"There is an old saying in the East, on the side of the couch, you can't allow others to snore, and the activity of the Warrington Group and Trask Industries shows that the human side is ready to destroy the mutants, and now only by attacking in advance can we get out of this desperate situation, and even get a chance to become completely independent from it."

"As long as we are still attached to human society, we can only face the never-ending planning and oppression, Magneto's approach is too extreme, and it is impossible for the current mutants to completely replace humans, and I have a more suitable method."

"Independence?"

This particular word quickly caught the professor's attention, and coupled with Xu Yue's Chinese identity, it was hard not to make people think about it.

However, recalling the two desperate endings of mutants in his memory, the professor still restrained the strange emotions in his eyes, and he took a sip of royal jelly in the teacup again, and after easing the somewhat stagnant atmosphere, he asked:

"Do you have a detailed plan for this goal?"

"Of course, that's what I'm here for."

……………

Outside the door, after leaving the room, Stormgirl and Scott did not go far, but coincidentally stood at the door of the room.

Stormgirl is out of pure curiosity, while Scott is desperate for an answer.

After a moment's silence, Stormgirl first glanced at the closed door in front of her, and then looked sideways at Scott, who was staring at the door still.

The other party's mood has become very abnormal since she returned to the academy, a mixture of excitement and anxiety, and she saw Scott in this state for the first time.

"Scott, something is wrong with you today, did something happen?"

"Also, what is the identity of the fireman just now?"

Two questions in a row smashed at the stationary Scott, and he was silent for a long time before he replied in a somewhat dry voice:

"According to him, he is teaching future students and seems to come from a different timeline."

"What? Future?! ”

Extremely surprised, the storm girl's voice began to rise unconsciously, after noticing the abnormality, she quickly lowered her tone, turned her head to look at the door in front of her again, as for the truth of this statement, she didn't ask too much, since the professor is relieved to talk to the other party alone, it can basically verify the authenticity of his statement.

Since the dam incident three years ago, even with the government's cover, the overall situation in the outside world is still particularly unfavorable to the mutant community.

This situation made her feel uneasy, as if something big was about to happen, and when she thought of it, she thought of the unusual emotions that appeared after Scott finished picking up the fire, and she couldn't help but frown.

"So your anomaly has something to do with this fireman? What's going to happen in the future? Or did he say something to you? Scott. ”

As the words fell, Scott finally stopped staring at the door and turned his head to look at her, even through the crimson goggles, Storm Girl seemed to be able to see the other party's bloodshot eyes.

"He said that Qin is not dead, and he can save Qin."

"Wait, are you sure he's talking about Jean? But we saw that Jean was completely engulfed by the flood, and the professor was also..."

Before the Storm Girl could finish her words, she was loudly interrupted by a somewhat agitated Scott.

"But we didn't find her body, I went many times, but I didn't find even a single rag."

"Since the professor also agrees with him, it means that he didn't lie to me, and Qin didn't die!"

Scott's hoarse but confident tone echoed through the hallway, and before he could speak, a figure suddenly burst out of the hallway, grabbed Scott's shirt and pressed it directly against the wooden wall on one side, making a deep muffled sound.

"Jean isn't dead?! Scott, what happened? Tell me! ”

The two figures slammed into the wall not far from the gate in the entanglement, and the storm girl hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two apart.

After a few moments, someone who had figured out the situation pushed Stormwind away and grabbed him, and raised his foot to kick the closed door.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to ask what's going on, where the hell is Jean!"

"Logan, calm down, the professor is talking to him, and he will know the answer soon, you can't just break in."

"Get out of the way, Oloro!"

…………

The noise from the outside world gradually amplified, and soon it spread into the room, and also made the two people who were talking in the room stop talking,

The professor smiled apologetically at Xu Yue in front of him, and after pressing the corner of his forehead with a little headache, he telepathically notified the storm girl at the door.

"Oloro, let Logan in."

As the words fell, the door was kicked open with a muffled bang, and a sturdy figure slammed in, followed closely by Scott, who was about the same speed, and Stormgirl who landed behind.

"Charles, this kid said that Jean is not dead, is it true?"

As soon as the figures entered, the excited questioning began to buzz through the room, and when the sound waves had stopped, the professor laid his hands and signaled them to be calm.

"That's right, Jean isn't dead, but she's in a bad condition right now, and I'll explain it to you in detail later."

"Now, there's another thing for you to witness, Torch, would you like to join the X-Men?"
