- Chapter 985 - The mutant experiment failed completely, preventing Magneto from declaring war on the world
Laboratory.
Charles controlled the wheelchair and came to Congressman Kelly who was lying on the bed, “Congressman Kelly, I am Professor Charles Xavier.”
Kelly gasped, “I’m afraid if I go to the hospital they will…”
“Treat you like a mutant?”
Kelly paused, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“This worry is completely unnecessary.” Aaron interrupted at an inopportune moment, “You’d be dead before they did anything to you.
To be honest, your life is now in the countdown, and you may die in the next minute, and your death will be particularly tragic.
Perhaps you can take this opportunity to explain your last words, but I can’t promise to tell your family, after all, I don’t want to get into any trouble.”
“Enough, Gaius.” Charles said somewhat unhappily, “We will do our best to cure you, Senator.”
“Self-deception.” Aaron curled his lips in disdain, “Unless time goes back, no one can save him.”
“Senator.” Charles came to the bedside and put his hands on both sides of Kelly’s head, “I need to see what happened to you, and please try to relax, I won’t hurt you.”
Then Charles entered Senator Kelly’s memory and saw the whole process of his experiment, Magneto’s weak appearance after the experiment, and what he said when he was supported by Mystique and walked past the senator.
“Welcome to the future, brother.”
……
“What did you see?”
“Danger, very dangerous. I think I can be sure what he wants to do to the little rascal.” Charles said solemnly, “The machine emits radiation, triggering mutations in ordinary humans.”
“Are you sure it’s a mutation?” Aaron glanced at Congressman Kelly with some disgust, “This is clearly murder, but it would not be done to this extent without deep hatred.”
“That’s the problem. Eric knows that the experiment was successful and triggered mutations in ordinary humans, but…”
“Oh! I see.” Aaron looked at Congressman Kelly thoughtfully, “Magneto didn’t know that the experiment had very serious, even fatal sequelae.”
“Such an unnatural mutation makes Congressman Kelly’s body very resistant, causing cells to disintegrate rapidly.” Jean, who was wearing a white coat, said after a moment of hesitation, “This is the first time I’ve seen this situation, and I have no idea where to start.”
“What effect would it have on mutants?” Scott asked.
“Obviously not, but I’m afraid it will hurt any ordinary person exposed to it.
As for why he wants Rogue… that machine will cause very serious damage to his body, but if there is a mutant who can absorb his power and take his place, the risk will not be so great.”
“Find her, we must find her as soon as possible.” Logan said anxiously.
Charles nodded without comment, “Cyclops, you and Storm prepare the jets, and I will act immediately after I find her.
Jean, get Logan a uniform.”
“Wait a minute.” Scott frowned, “Is he going with us?”
“Yes.”
“Sorry, but this will jeopardize the mission”
“At least I didn’t give the train station a new roof.”
“Yes, but you are the one who stabbed Rogue in the chest.”
“Why don’t you take your little mission and take him…”
“Uh…”
Logan was interrupted by Congressman Kelly’s heavy breathing halfway through his words.
I saw his body expand several times like a bubble, and colorless liquid oozes out of his body uncontrollably.
Then the few blood spots on his body faded away quickly, and the whole person looked like a large group of squirming water drops.
Splash!
Congressman Kelly, who was still alive just now, turned into a puddle of water and spilled all over the ground.
“I said his life was in the countdown!” Aaron looked as if he had expected it. “Professor Charles, now you are satisfied. He didn’t even have time to explain his last words.”
“You know how to make sarcastic remarks.” Scott said with anger, “But you don’t have to take a picture of this scene!”
Aaron shrugged and turned off the recording function of his mobile phone. “I have some research on anatomy, but this is the first time I have seen such a scene.
Although I didn’t have time to satisfy my curiosity, it’s not too much to leave a souvenir!”
……
Everyone came to the brain wave amplifier, and Charles still went in alone and put on the helmet.
However, this time he did not find the little rascal in the vast crowd. Instead, he frowned as if he had a nightmare, and then his body twitched and fainted in pain.
The metal door slowly opened, and everyone was shocked to see Charles fainted on the path.
Scott was the first to react, and immediately called Jean and Ororo to take Charles to the laboratory.
After a careful examination, Charles’ body was fine, but his nerves seemed to be invaded by a virus, and his state was like a vegetative person.
“There is a problem with the brain wave amplifier.” Jean said affirmatively, “The filtrate has been replaced, and someone sneaked into the school.”
“Mystique, only she has this ability.” Scott said.
“What should we do now?” Logan looked at the helpless look of others and sighed helplessly, “When can he wake up?”
“If it’s fast, it will take a day or two!” Jean said uncertainly, “Magneto has no intention of killing the professor.”
“By then, everything will be too late. Can we only use more primitive methods to find people?”
“Go out and investigate?” Scott said speechlessly, “They left by helicopter. Do you think you can find them earlier than the professor?”
“Is there no other way?”
“Not that there is no way.” Jean pursed her lips and looked at Aaron with entanglement.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“Yes, you are a fortune teller.” Ororo suddenly realized, “You should be able to predict their location!”
“Hmm…” Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly thought about whether this divination would bring him any disadvantages, and then nodded and said: “For Qin’s sake, one hundred thousand US dollars for one divination.”
Scott was almost angry and laughed, “Are you obsessed with money?”
“This is a matter of principle. I never accept freeloaders. This is already the lowest price.”
“Aaron!” Qin glared at him helplessly, “Can I owe you first?”
“Okay, you can owe me as long as you want, but don’t make it so difficult for me next time.” Aaron said half-jokingly, and then took out the crystal ball from the space ring and placed it on the table.
“Is this reliable?” Logan asked with some doubt.
“Don’t insult my professionalism with your doubtful tone, so…be confident and give me the word ‘ma’.” Aaron snorted coldly, and then used the so-called ‘Heavenly Eyes’ to spy on the answer he wanted.
The thick fog in the crystal ball began to churn violently, and a ship appeared in the dark fog, followed by a huge Statue of Liberty, and the little rascal was crying at the top of the statue…
As the picture gradually faded, the divination ended.
“Did you find it?” Logan asked immediately.
“About the same!”
“Where?”
“Well… I divined a picture of the future.
One night, the iconic building is the Statue of Liberty, and Magneto will take the little rascal there.”
“Night?” Logan looked at the not-so-bright sunlight outside, “Tonight? There’s still some time.”
“The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island.” Ororo suddenly thought of something, “The United Nations Summit will be held on Ellis Island, with leaders of more than two hundred countries participating, and it’s only a few hundred meters away from the Statue of Liberty.”
“The situation is very clear, Magneto is going to play a big one!” Aaron spread his hands and smiled meaningfully, “He will turn on the machine tonight and turn all the leaders of more than two hundred countries into mutants.
No, to be precise, it is to kill more than two hundred national leaders and officially declare war on humans on behalf of mutants.
Once this cruel job is done, there will be no possibility of easing between mutants and humans.”
“Put on uniforms, we have to plan carefully.” Scott said in a deep voice.
“Excuse me, this ‘we’ shouldn’t include Jean Grey, right?”
“Of course it does, I haven’t quit the X-Men yet!” Jean said resentfully.
“That’s Magneto! You all together are no match for him.”
“You have to go anyway.” Ororo said, “If we can’t stop him, the mutants will be finished.”
“Everyone, can’t we make some adjustments?” Aaron said impatiently, “I’m a consultant to S.H.I.E.L.D. I can talk to Nick Fury and ask him…”
“No.” Scott said immediately, “S.H.I.E.L.D. must not interfere in the internal affairs of the mutants.”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk! That’s really decisive, you are worthy of being Charles’ favorite student!” Aaron said sarcastically, “Anyway, I don’t care. If you succeed, everyone will be happy.
If you fail, it won’t be a loss to me. I will take Jean away from this school immediately.
I have a deal with S.H.I.E.L.D., and I have some connections with the Avengers. I can protect her. As for the lives of other mutants, it depends on their luck.”
“You misunderstood.” Ororo made a round and explained helplessly: “After the apocalypse incident, the professor must Prove to the outside world that he is capable of handling disputes among mutants.
If he asks for help from the official organization at this time, it would be equivalent to telling them that the X-Men are powerless again, and then…”
“Then their attitude towards this school will also change to a certain extent.” Aaron added this difficult sentence speechlessly, “To survive in the cracks, you have to be careful of other people’s faces.
Such a humble mutant who has to compromise to this extent will be finished sooner or later.”
“You…”
Just as Scott was about to get angry, he was stopped by Jean. She glared at Aaron angrily, “Stop talking nonsense, solve the current problem first!”
“If you can’t find help, then I can’t help.”
“It’s not that you can’t find help, but you can’t find official help.” Jean hesitated and pursed her lips, “If you know someone…”
“Don’t think about it, there is no one.” Aaron said without thinking. He knew a lot of people, but there were only a few who could compete with Magneto, a fourth-level mutant, and it was not convenient for them to take action.
“By the way, can’t you call on some powerful mutants for help?”
“Piotte is out on a mission, Hank is in the Department of Mutant Affairs… Anyway, all the X-Men who can take action are here.”
“Let’s make a plan!” Scott said, and then called up the plane and three-dimensional map of Liberty Island and Ellis Island, “We can drive to the river bank next to the Washington Bridge…”
“What about the port patrol?” Logan asked, “And the radar?”
“If they have anything to find our fighter planes, they are worth catching us.”
……
Aaron still couldn’t stop Qin, and watched her get on the plane with Scott, Ororo, and Logan.
Watching the fighter plane disappear into the night, Aaron sighed deeply, “One by one, they don’t listen to advice!”
“Actually, this is easy to deal with, right!”
Cry!
A ball of fire burned in the air, and Fox flew out of the flames.
“Master, do you want me to bring the little rascal back?”
“Take me over, it’s safer this way.” Aaron laughed at himself, then opened the task panel and checked the system task that had just been triggered.
[Rescue the little rascal;
Complete the task to reward 300 magic points; no penalty for mission failure; Do you accept? 】
“Accept it, just consider it as hard work fee!”
……
Port.
A ship loaded with machinery slowly sailed towards Liberty Island. The sailors on the ship and the guards on the island were completely dealt with by Magneto’s mutant brotherhood, and there was no noise.
Magneto walked into the cabin, glanced at the locked little rascal, and then looked at the Statue of Liberty through the window, “Great, isn’t it?”
“I’ve seen it.”
“The first time I saw her was in 1949.” Magneto said to himself, “In this land of tolerance, a land of peace.”
“Are you going to kill me?” Little rascal asked nervously.
Magneto pondered for a while, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, “Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because there is no place of tolerance, no peace.
It’s not here, nor anywhere else.
The whole family was wiped out, just because they were born different from those who have power.
But after tonight, powerful people all over the world will be like us, they will go home as brothers, as mutants, and our ideals will be theirs.” Magneto’s heart surged, and a longing smile appeared on his face, “Your sacrifice represents our survival, I know this is just a small comfort to you.”
As soon as the voice fell, Magneto frowned.
A flame suddenly appeared between him and the little rascal, which made him instinctively alert.
The next moment, the flame expanded rapidly and illuminated the dark cabin, and a touch of red flew out of the flame, bringing out a figure.
