After saying goodbye to Sonia, John, and Marcos in the tavern, Rojo returned directly to the base, and on the way back, he could still feel that behind the glass of the surrounding building, there were many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and task force members.

This group of agents is now tasked with guarding the mutant underground base on a daily basis to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

However, Irojo saw that it was completely superfluous, and in the base, except for a dozen or so people, the rest of the people would not take half a step at all.

Rojo took out the hidden potion in the tent and prepared to go to the professor, today is the time for injections, and the professor usually chooses to sleep after eating at noon, which is conducive to the effect of the medicine.

That is, when I finished taking the medicine and went to the professor's tent.

Luo Huo found that something was not quite right with the underground base today, everyone's faces were low, and he could clearly feel the unwillingness and depression in everyone's hearts, as well as fear and worry.

These emotions used to be felt before, but they were not as strong as they are today.

"It sounds like your operation this time is not easy, I just went to see Eugene, he was injured, and he hasn't been out of the tent since he came back, everyone is very worried."

In the professor's tent, in addition to the professor, there is also Logan. Howlett was there, and the two centenarians were sitting together eating.

Seeing Rojo push open the curtain and walk in, Logan took out a chair and handed it over, "I thought you were going to spend an afternoon in the tavern." ”

"That's what I was going to do."

Rojo took out a bottle of whiskey from the tavern from his bag and put it in front of Logan, "But it suddenly occurred to me that you hadn't drunk in a few days and wanted to come back to accompany you." ”

"You kid."

Logan smiled and opened the bottle, and was about to drink it when he was stopped.

Rojo took out two potions, one to the professor and one to Logan, "Inject the potion before drinking." ”

"Okay."

Logan resisted the temptation of the wine, first injected the potion, rubbed his body, and then immediately picked up the wine bottle and drank it, even if he injected the potion, it couldn't stop him from drinking, but the potion didn't have any side effects on him, and the drinking had no effect.

"Whew"

Charles exhaled deeply after the injection, the sick appearance of three weeks ago has now been swept away, and there will be no more cases of getting out of control at any time, but the dose of medicine he injected at one time is too small, and he has not yet regained control of his ability.

After Rojo checked and confirmed that there were no side effects in the professor's body, he breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth raised with joy, and said: "Professor, perhaps, we can try to increase the dose next week, I think, it won't be long before your ability recovers, and even the lower half of your body can stand up again." ”

"I'm feeling a little bit now."

Charles glanced at his legs, reached out and grabbed them, and his face showed emotion, "It's sour and numb, it's never been in the past few decades." ”

Logan took a sip of wine, patted the professor on the shoulder, and joked with a smile, "It seems that I can finally meet the young man who used to be high-spirited and mingled in nightclubs." ”

"What were you guys talking about?"

Rojo took the wine bottle handed over by Uncle Wolf, took a sip, handed it back and asked, "Eugene's matter?" ”

"Hmm."

Logan nodded, and was about to continue, when he heard someone coming outside, "Professor? Have you slept, it's time to take your medicine. ”

Professor Charles motioned for Rojo to quickly put away the potion before he spoke, "Come in." ”

Outside, a member of the underground base walked in, dressed in white, the paramedic responsible for feeding medicine to every wounded person in the base, who had been studying medical school before entering the base.

Charles is familiar with the process of taking medicine, after all, he is prone to loss of control, and has to take medicine every day to stabilize, twice a day, once at noon and once in the evening, after eating, the medical staff will sit on the edge of the bed, wait for an hour, make sure there is no problem, and record the report before leaving.

Before she left, Charles grabbed her and said, "I don't want to take any more after taking these pills, I've been slowly getting more conscious lately." ”

"Professor, your complexion looks much better, but your situation is a bit complicated, whether you want to continue eating or not, you have to check before you can decide."

After saying that, the medical staff left with the report book and moved on to take care of the next patient.

"Professor, do you need this every day?"

Luo Huo waited for an hour and almost fell asleep, because during the waiting, he had to be quiet and couldn't even speak, and Uncle Wolf next to him had already fallen asleep with his support on the table, and he woke up after a few shots.

Charles sighed and said, "Well, my abilities are out of control and I am often given special care, and if I get out of control, you know the situation."

He slowed down, and then said, "Let's talk about Eugene first, in fact, his affairs are also related to you, to be precise, to be related to yesterday's actions. ”

"Eugene was injured, returned to the tent and never came out, without saying a word, obviously affecting the mood of the others, everyone is suspicious of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, thinking that their so-called plans or actions are just using the underground base, pushing everyone into the abyss."

Logan took over, paused, and continued: "Originally, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took over the underground base, set various rules, and restricted activities, which already made everyone dissatisfied, and now they let the people from the base participate in the mission, which is easy to make them think too much. ”

"No wonder when I came here just now, the atmosphere at the base was sluggish today."

Rojo was stunned, but for Logan's statement, he could also understand the current situation of the base, itself, everyone in the base obeyed Eugene and respected Eugene, after all, Eugene gave them a place to live.

According to Eugene's character, even if the mission fails, he usually has an uplifting meeting when he comes back to get everyone back together, but this time it was different, he went straight back to the tent.

This unusual behavior will undoubtedly cause the people in the base to start thinking cranky, and the only thing that can make them think of it is the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the Avengers above.

After pondering, Rojo said, "What the hell is Eugene thinking?" He seemed normal for the first two days, and he personally agreed to the cooperative action. ”

"I don't know, maybe it's the recent events that have made him a little confused, and the development of events is different from what he expected."

Logan shook his head and drank.

Rojo turned his head to look at the professor lying on the bed and asked, "Professor, I rarely eat at the base, John seems to have said before that everyone who eats in the base needs to register?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

Charles wondered.

"It's okay, just ask."

Rohono thought about it, and after saying goodbye to Uncle Wolf, he went back to the tent first, but he didn't expect to run into Lorna, who happened to come up to find him. Dane.

Behind her was an emaciated Clarice, and the girl was still holding the old picture book.

Lorna. Dane asked expectantly, "Rojo, would you like to go have a meal together, in a new restaurant not far from Hell's Kitchen." ”

"You invite me?"

Rojo smiled and said, "I seem to owe you a meal." ”

"So you remember."

Lorna squinted slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved into a dissatisfied arc, "Then this time you have a treat, and I will make up for it all." ”

"Clarice is going too?"

Rojo asked, and saw Clarice nod.

"Well, so happy."

Lorna rubbed Clarice's face and said to Rojo, "She's been in the base for a few months, and she's finally willing to get out." ”

"Then you have to keep an eye on her, don't lose it."

Rojo said with a smile.

"I'm not that stupid."

Clarice pursed her lips, "I'll show you something when I'm done eating." ”

"What's that?"

"You'll find out later."

At noon, the neighborhood around Hell's Kitchen is also uneasy, so there are very few people on the street, and everyone avoids going out as much as possible at this point.

Rojo followed Lorna and Clarice to the newly opened restaurant, and on the way, he suddenly asked, "Lona, what is Sonia's ability?" ”

"I think I told you."

Lorna gave him a blank look, "Clarice also told me that you never forgot it, and you didn't miss every detail of what you painted." ”

Sure enough, she was still thinking about giving a gift to Clarice, Rojo was helpless, and used thunder and lightning to weave a rabbit, jumped in front of her, and made funny gestures, "Ms. Dane, I was rude before, and this little rabbit has apologized for me, so tell me." ”

Lorna wanted to look away and ignore the rabbit, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curvature, and she compromised, "Okay, put it away, don't be seen by outsiders." ”

"Don't worry, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are also responsible for wiping their butts, and they can follow them very closely."

Rojo pointed behind him, a few people who pretended to read the newspaper, and after being exposed, those people also pretended to stop and touch their pants pockets, and they all did the same, and they were skillful and free.

"They should really go back and practice."

Lorna smiled when she saw the unified movements of the agents, and then said: "Sonia is a psychic system, a bit similar to telepathy, she can also invade other people's minds and tamper with memories like the professor, but the difference is that she can't rely on consciousness to invade from a distance like the professor, but by releasing a pink gas, so that the enemy can revel in her gas, let her spy on the enemy's secrets, and if she is in a good state, she can modify her memory." ”

"Can she collect that gas?"

Rojo was curious.

"I don't know."

Lorna was stunned when she heard this, "What are you thinking, what a pervert, you still want to collect Sonia's gas, which is spit out of her mouth." ”

"Then I'm more interested."

Rojo's eyes lit up, and then Lorna's slap slapped him head-on, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough to dodge, but not the lid of the trash can flying behind him.

"It's a heavy deal."

He rubbed his back, "I'm thinking about a very serious, serious question, what would happen if Sonia's gas could be collected and reused after collection?" ”

"Make a psychic smoke bomb? A psychic weapon? ”

Lorna. Dane also realized the point of the matter, put down the lid of the trash can, and carefully recalled the details of his previous relationship with Sonia.

She shook her head, "It's unlikely, Sonia's gas dissipates quickly, and there is no time to collect it, and even if it does, there is a low probability that it can be saved." ”

"I'm just guessing."

Luo Huo thought about it, and had already walked to the front of the restaurant, and the flow of people increased, "Forget it, let's eat first." ”

"Hmm."

on the dining table.

Rojo's mind wasn't idle, letting Lorna and Clarice order the whole time, and he kept thinking about Sonia.

In the tavern before, Sonia's words made him notice this woman's ability again, mainly because he already had telepathy, and he no longer needed other psychic abilities for the time being, so he ignored Sonia.

However, he doesn't know Sonia, she is an unpopular character herself, with telepathy-like abilities, in fact, she is a bit far behind, she can't even compare to a finger of a professor in the field of mind, and her role is too little.

Can she release gas.

"Rojo, Rojo!"

After the meal, Clarice wiped the grease stains off her red lips with a tissue, and couldn't wait to take Rojo's hand.

"What's wrong?"

Before Rojo could react, he was dragged towards a darkly lit alley, and Lorna didn't stop him, but trotted to follow.

He wondered, "What are you going to do?" It's not a bad idea, is it? ”

"What do you say?"

Lorna responded with a smile, a smile that looked charming and sinister on her delicate face.

"No, no, Lorna scared you."

With a wave of her hand and seeing that there was no one around, Clarice let go of Rojo and took a few steps back.

She said, "I listened to you and took the professor's class seriously every day, and then, I found out yesterday."

As she spoke, Clarice opened her hand, wrinkled her face, gritted her teeth, and raised one eye, one peach blossom eye.

Seeing this, Rojo realized what was going to happen and stepped back a few steps away.

The next second.

Buzz!

In the alley in front of me, a door was torn out, to be precise, it was a teleportation channel, like a black hole with endless energy matter spinning, forming an abyssal vortex, and the surrounding objects were affected and inhaled uncontrollably!

"Is this what you're capable of?"

Rojo exclaimed, reaching out and trying to touch the portal, his hand passing through it, apparently in another place.

"Uh-huh, let's go in and have a look."

Clarice nodded, pushed Tyrojo and pulled Lorna again, and the three of them walked into the portal together.

Subsequently, after they walked out, the alley outside became a warehouse above the base.

"You've found the warehouse accurately."

Rojo was even more surprised, in fact, he didn't expect Clarice to master his abilities in a short time at first, obviously he underestimated the potential of this girl, and it took her two weeks to master!

"I've learned to control my abilities, but now I can't pass too far at once, or I'll get out of control."

Clarice closed the portal and looked at her hands, her pretty face full of confidence, "But I believe that it won't be long before the two of us can travel around the world together!" ”

Lorna, who was next to her, reached out and patted Rojo's shoulder hard, and said, "Clarice, you forgot your friends and didn't want to take me with you?" ”

"She said, don't shoot me."

"Because you broke her!"

"I've never said that."

Rojo and Lorna were arguing, and suddenly felt the same on their arms, and touched the skin under their sleeves, on which new runes appeared—space warps and teleportations.
