- Chapter 982 - The senator who was attacked, the one who escaped the military experiment
“A speech.” Qin chuckled and said, “Hank helped organize it. He explained to people what mutants are, hoping to reduce human prejudice against mutants.”
“What a waste of time.” Aaron said speechlessly, “Prejudices in people’s hearts are like a mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can’t move them.”
“The result was not very good. I spent more than half a month preparing the materials and carefully gave a lecture on the stage for more than an hour, but I became a background board for Congressman Kelly to enhance his reputation.”
“There are also congressmen participating?” Aaron opened his mouth with a smile and didn’t know what to say.
“We have to pick a few people who have a say in politics!”
“Then can’t you pick a few politicians who are friendly to mutants?
Even if you can’t win people’s hearts with such an important speech, you can’t find someone to sabotage it!”
“But this speech is held to oppose the mutant registration bill. If I can’t convince the supporters of the bill, then even if my speech is successful, it won’t have much meaning.”
“But the result is that you are playing the lute to a cow.” Aaron sighed helplessly, looked at Qin with some heartache and said: “Most politicians can’t be moved by words, only interests can move them.
Money, official positions, prestige, and reputation are what they want. No matter what you do, as long as it doesn’t bring them benefits, they won’t waste time, energy and resources to support you.
But as long as it is in their interests, even if you are wrong, they will find ways to support you.”
Qin’s pupils trembled slightly. She was not unaware of this bloody reality, but she still had some expectations for this society.
“Even if I can only convince one person, my efforts will not be in vain.”
“But it’s still meaningless. The relationship between humans and mutants will not change because of the attitudes of one or two people.”
“Don’t be so discouraging, okay?” Jean said resentfully.
“I just want you to understand that your so-called efforts are irrelevant.
So quit the X-Men, stay as far away from those inexplicably dangerous tasks as possible, and you just need to stay in this school and teach and educate people with peace of mind.
That way, when an avalanche occurs one day, I can also protect you, this snowflake.”
Jin blinked slightly in confusion, and then sneered, “You are really…really cute.”
“I’m serious, Jean.”
“I know, but I really can’t quit the X-Men for the time being.”
Hearing this, Aaron’s heart tightened immediately, but then he figured out something, “I won’t quit for the time being, so that means I will quit in the future?”
“Wait until the next generation of X-Men is trained! At least I can’t leave casually at this stage.”
“Understand, understand, and understand.” Aaron’s mood turned from cloudy to sunny, and he smiled and hugged Jean and kissed her hard.
It was worth his earnest words. As long as Qin had the intention of “retiring”, he would be fully confident to pull her out of the bottomless quagmire of mutants.
“What about you? What have you done during this period?”
“Nothing, just adopted a homeless, helpless and pitiful… girl.” Aaron said with a dry laugh, and tried to make his tone sound calm.
Qin’s face changed slightly, and there was more playfulness in his tone, “Girl? How old is the girl?”
“Uh… early twenties.”
“Is she beautiful?”
“Ah this…”
“Your hesitation tells me the answer, she is very beautiful, right?” Qin looked at him with a smile, “Then why did you come to me? Shouldn’t you be happy when I’m not here?”
“That… you misunderstood, I can explain.”
“No, no need to explain, whether it is a misunderstanding or not I will know it later.” Qin said angrily and amusedly, “Forget it, or explain it!”
……
A very ordinary floating island in the ocean, the base of the Brotherhood of Mutants is built on a steep cliff.
In the deep cave, Congressman Kelly, wearing a suit and tie, sat on an iron chair in fear, his hands and feet were also locked.
And around him stood three mutants, the blue-skinned naked Mystique, the hairy saber-toothed tiger like a wild beast, and the toad with strange pupils squatting on the rock.
As a congressman who supports the mutant registration bill and publicizes the degree of harm of mutants, he is full of despair about his current situation.
Whoosh!
The toad suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a tongue several meters long to stick to a bird singing on a dead tree and pull it into his mouth.
Ugh~
Watching the toad chew the bird into pieces and swallow it into his stomach in a few seconds, he suddenly felt nauseous and turned his face away in a hurry, wanting to vomit but unable to.
“Toads have nasty tongues, Senator.” Magneto Eric walked out from the depths of the cave, “Just like you.”
“Who are you? Where is Henry?”
“Mr. Gary has been dead for a while, Senator.
But I asked Mystique to accompany you. She has many appearances.”
“No matter what you do to me, you will prove that what I say is right, and every word I say will be confirmed.” Kelly said bravely, but he was timid.
He didn’t expect that mutants would dare to attack government officials. Now he just hopes that these people can be a little cautious and won’t take his life.
Eric and Mystique smiled at each other, “Are you a person who fears God, Senator?
This is such a strange statement, I have always looked to God as a mentor, bringing light, wisdom and consideration.
I think what you are really afraid of is me, me and my fellow mutant brothers. “
“This is actually not surprising. Human beings are always afraid of things they don’t understand.” Eric walked forward while pulling the steel chair Kelly was sitting on, and did not stop until he placed him in the middle of the road.
“Well, don’t be afraid of God, and of course, the senator, don’t be afraid of me.” Eric walked to the end and looked at the two one-meter-long silver-white iron pillars in the elevator with deep meaning, “Don’t be afraid anymore.”
“What are you going to do to me?”
“Let’s put it this way!” Eric said as he climbed onto the elevator, “God works too slowly.”
Snap!
When he reached the top, Eric pressed his hands on the iron pillar.
With the urging of magnetism, two metal rings began to rotate around him.
As the rotation speed became faster and faster, Eric’s face in the magnetic field twitched violently, as if he was being whipped by a hurricane.
His body was shaking uncontrollably. Obviously what he did was not very friendly to him, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
After a few seconds, the top of the device emitted a silvery white light.
These silver lights formed a chaotic spherical mask that enveloped Eric and spread outward with him as the center.
The darkness in the cave was instantly dispelled, and the silver-white light shone on everyone. The three mutants, Mystique, Sabre-toothed Tiger, and Toad, felt nothing. However, as a human, Congressman Kelly seemed to have suffered tremendous pain and could not help himself. screamed.
…
The lights in the body scanner slowly turned on, and Logan blinked with some resistance, but for the sake of his past, he still endured the discomfort and waited for the scan to be completed.
Soon, a different kind of human skeleton appeared on the screen outside. Qin, who was wearing a white coat, looked at the test results with an expression of astonishment.
“This metal is Adamantium alloy, which should be indestructible.” She pointed at the skeleton diagram on the screen and said with uncontrollable surprise, “It was surgically implanted into his entire skeleton.”
“How could he survive such a procedure?” Ororo asked in disbelief.
“His mutation, he has unknown regenerative abilities that allow him to heal quickly.
This also makes it impossible to determine his age. Qin said something suddenly occurred to her, “He may be older than you, professor.” “
“Who did this to him?” Scott asked.
“He doesn’t know, he has amnesia and can’t remember anything about his life before this happened.”
“It’s not that experiments on mutants are unheard of, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Charles said solemnly, his tone more solemn than ever before.
“What you saw is just the tip of the iceberg.” Aaron said inappropriately, and then looked at Qin solemnly, “Now you know why I have to tell you so much?
Here is a clear example. I am really afraid that something like this will happen to you one day. “
“As long as Qin is still in school, such a thing will never happen, but it may not happen if she leaves with you.” Scott said in a sinister tone.
“Naive and ignorant.” Aaron said dismissively, “On the contrary, as long as she stays with me, such a thing will never happen, but it may not happen if she stays in this school.”
“Professor, your telepathy might be able to help him…”
“Telepathy is not omnipotent.” Charles said helplessly, “I can know what he is thinking, and I can also control his thoughts, but his past…
It was buried deep in his memory, and he didn’t even know where it was buried.
Even if I have the key to unlock that memory, I still have to find the lock first! “
“You should be the one to blame if your chain breaks down at a critical moment.” Aaron said very bluntly, “You can’t even cure amnesia.”
“Can you cure it?” Scott smiled provocatively, “I remember you are a pharmacist. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to cure amnesia!”
“It’s easy.” Aaron smiled easily, “But why should I help him?”
“If not, just keep your mouth shut.”
“It’s not impossible. Anyone who knows me knows that I have professional ethics.
To put it simply, free prostitution is not accepted.
I can help him regain his memory, but I can’t do it in vain!
But if you are willing to help him pay for his medical bills, everything will be easy. “
“Aaron, you…” Qin frowned, “It’s inappropriate!”
“I’m not a charity person. If it’s one of my own, I won’t accept a penny. If it’s an acquaintance, I don’t mind giving it on credit.
But this person is a complete stranger to me. He doesn’t even have any affection, so he can only talk about interests.
Besides, I don’t know if he was a very evil person in the past, so I won’t feel any psychological burden if he accepts money to do things. “
Bah!
As soon as he finished speaking, a steel claw suddenly stretched out from the machine.
With a flash of sparks, the round iron door fell down, and a naked upper body Logan climbed out of the scanner.
“How much do you want?”
Aaron raised his eyebrows, then raised a finger, “This is the number.”
“One million?”
“Dollars.”
“Too greedy!”
“This is the cost. If you are not satisfied, you can choose not to receive treatment.” Aaron smiled faintly, walked to the screen and tapped the human skeleton scan. “And forgetting the past does not seem to be a bad thing for you. This picture alone means that your past is full of suffering, and your enemies are even more…”
“Tsk!” Aaron stepped forward and patted his shoulder. “To be honest, I sympathize with you, but if I were you, I would take the initiative to escape from the memory of the past.
But don’t get me wrong, this is not fear, but simply not wanting the tragic experience of the past to affect the happy life now and in the future.”
“Do you know who my enemy is?” Ron asked coldly.
“Adamantium.” Aaron said meaningfully, “Your bones are all adamantium.
As far as I know, this thing is one of the hardest metals on earth, much harder than ordinary metals, and can even withstand temperatures of hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius.
The production process of adamantium is very complicated, and the raw materials are also very scarce. The only ones who know the synthesis method are…”
“Only who?”
“The military.” Aaron looked at him with interest and said, “I don’t rule out that other organizations also know the secret recipe of adamantium, but your bones are worth at least millions of dollars, and I’m afraid only the military has such resources and strength.”
“So Logan, you are most likely a military experiment.
The experiment lost control and killed the entire experimental base. As for your memory…” Aaron pondered for a while, “If I’m not mistaken, your head must have been hit hard.”
“His skull is also adamantium.” Ororo interrupted.
“Of course, ordinary weapons can’t hurt him, but what if it’s also made of adamantium!
A bullet made of adamantium, one shot to the head.”
Bang!
Logan heard the sound of metal collision in a trance, and a silver bullet seemed to hit his forehead at close range.
He staggered slightly, and only when he came to his senses did he realize that vague fragments of memory flashed through his mind.
“It’s true, you’re right.
That man, I can’t see clearly, but he’s wearing a military uniform.”
Snap!
Aaron snapped his fingers, “Shouldn’t there be applause at this time?”
“Can you be serious?” Qin said unhappily.
“Okay.” Aaron spread his hands and continued, “You were shot in the head, but your self-healing ability and adamantium skull saved your life.
Before you lost your memory, you killed him recklessly with your body’s instincts and hatred for that person, and then began a confused life for fifteen years.”
“No.” Logan suddenly shook his head, with a little blood in his pupils, “That person is still alive, I didn’t kill him.”
