Chapter 183: You Are the Ones Who Save Yourselves (Part 2)
Inside the principal's office at Xavier School for the Gifted.
"How can we trust you, just because you said a few words casually." Cyclops Scott still has doubts about Li Jie's purpose.
Regarding this point, Li Jie is not surprised at all and even a little suspicious understands that if Cyclops experienced the same childhood as in the movie.
In other words, even if he didn't experience the kind of childhood in the movie, Li Jie still sees the plight of mutants in this world.
Random analysis can analyze that Cyclops' childhood should not have been very good, which caused his distrust of other people, which came from his sense of insecurity.
The professor didn't stop Scott's questioning, he didn't use his psychic ability to check the nightcrawler's thoughts and memories.
The professor knew from Li Jie's angry roar just now that Li Jie also has a certain ability in the use of mental power, and it is easy to arouse alertness by thinking about the night walker.
Unless you want to start a war, it's best not to do it, and the Nightcrawler is not an enemy. He's a street hero, at least from what he does in New York.
"I don't want to say that, because it makes me a little arrogant." Li Jie tidied up his words, and at the same time let Harry, who seemed very nervous and guarded, relax a little.
Because at this time, it is not good to have a gun go off, and now everyone has entered the territory of mutants.
"It is precisely because my team has some contacts with some departments, and after analyzing some of the situations and information obtained, I have come to a conclusion that I have left the problem of large-scale mutants out of control before Christmas to Hydra, so that the government Changed the outlet, because Hydra is a bigger threat to them than mutants."
"Sorry, I worded the last sentence poorly. I didn't mean to compare mutants and Hydra. I just said that Hydra is more important to the government."
Li Jie apologized for his last sentence, which was a little grammatically ill.
But it seemed that the professor didn't care much about Li Jie's failure in his words. Even the mutants in the room were unfamiliar with the name Hydra except for the professor, as if they had never heard of it.
Only a man leaning against a book in the corner, holding a bottle of gin and hiding himself in the darkness moved his ears, as if the name reminded him of some dusty memories, but he couldn't think of anything. stand up.
This feeling made him feel bad, and he could only take a gulp of gin.
The professor frowned slightly, and seemed to have heard of the name Hydra. "As far as I know, this organization should have died a long time ago."
"The nine-headed snake is dead but not stiff." Li Jie said, and at the same time took out a silver necklace from his arms and put it on the professor's desk.
"I think all the incidents of mutants getting out of control are related to this thing." Li Jie pointed to the necklace.
But many of the mutants present had various special abilities, but no one saw anything strange about this necklace.
"Hank, can you leave the laboratory for a while? By the way, bring your set of gold measuring tools." The professor didn't despise the necklace because he couldn't see its special features, but called the necklace solemnly. made a phone call.
Less than three minutes after the call was made, a huge blue furry monster opened the door and walked in.
He is tall and strong, and he does not look like a normal human being at all. If he has to say, he looks more like the legendary Himalayan snowman. If there is any difference from the snowman, it is that the snowman's hair is white, while his is blue.
He has a strong and muscular body, his sharp nails can easily cut through all kinds of solid metal, and he has a keen intuition like a beast.
Under the rough and even beast-like appearance, there is an extremely smart brain hidden. It is even said that this beast Hank is one of the smartest scientists in the world.
Li Jie knows that mutants are full of strange things, so it is not surprising that a beast appears, and this beast looks familiar to him, it should be a character that has been plotted in the original movie.
"The composition of silver is 85%, 2% magnesium, and 10% aluminum. It looks like a normal silver necklace with low purity." Hank carried a A set of equipment to quickly detect the metal content, he said after inspecting the necklace.
"However, the remaining 3% is not an impurity. It is even said that the remaining 3% is extremely stable, and the radiation contained is a bit too large, which may be harmful to the human body."
"Can you find out what metal it is?" the professor asked.
"No, this metal is very strange. I don't know that among the metal classifications we know, it may be a mineral that humans have not detected before." Beast Hank shook his head.
"Why are you so sure, Nightcrawler, that this necklace caused the mutants to lose control?" asked the professor.
"What if I told you that all mutants out of control have the same silver jewelry?" Li Jie said seriously.
"And I can also tell you that there are a total of 298 pieces of these necklaces or other silver jewelry, which are scattered all over the United States. They are like uncontrollable time bombs for mutants."
"I don't know what principle these silver products use to trigger mutants to lose control, or is it forced to turn ordinary people into mutants? Or something else, but I know that if these things are still circulating on the market, The out-of-control mutants broke out on a large scale, and I think you should know what the consequences are."
"You said you need help, what kind of help do you need?" The professor's tone was a little serious now.
"Let's get straight to the point. I know you have a very powerful mind controller." Li Jie found that all the mutants in the room were staring at him with unfriendly eyes. But he continued to speak on his own.
"I know how terrible it is. It's even more terrible than nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs. Professor, please don't ask me where I got this news, because the people who participated in the construction of it didn't die, right?"
"I know that you can control most of the people and mutants in the world through this set of mind controllers. I need your help. Whenever a mutant breaks out of control, I believe you must be able to sense it."
"We may need you to provide the location of the mutants who broke out of control, so that we can check whether the mutants who got out of control got these silverware."
"This is just a remedy after the past." Professor X felt that this method was not very positive. Because of the damage caused by the out-of-control mutants, all the mutants have to pay for him.
"But at least it's not too late. It's better than you guys staying in this school and doing nothing." Although he knew the professor's difficulties, the professor stayed at the school and didn't take the initiative to attack the mutants before. Disliked that this method was not active enough, Li Jie couldn't help but stab Professor X.
Professor X and Beast Hank glanced at each other, their mouths moved but in the end they didn't say anything.
"Professor, if you want to be more active, you might as well ask your lovely students to act, and go to control the scene as quickly as possible when mutants get out of control. This will at least reduce people's resentment towards you." Li Jie felt himself I have finished what I should say, and I am going to put away the necklace and leave here.
Today's trip was not pleasant. When I entered the door, I was greeted with a deadly laser beam. After entering the room, I said a lot of things, and these people still didn't believe it.
He's used to these shy X-Men, oh no, there's no X-Men here yet. Anyway, I am already a little disappointed with these mutants.
"You order us so brazenly, do you really think that we are your subordinates who want to do things for you?" Feeling very uncomfortable with Li Jie, some people who stopped Li Jie and questioned him were not the impulsive Scott that Li Jie thought. Especially, Cyclops Scott was lowering his head and biting his fingers thinking about what Li Jie had just said.
What stood in front of him was the beautiful black woman he had seen before, because the recognition was so high, especially the silver hair, Li Jie quickly recognized that this person should be Storm.
"Ma'am, I don't want to quarrel with you. Please understand that I didn't come to give orders, and I didn't ask you to listen to me. Everything you did was not for anyone, but for mutants, and for yourselves." Li Jie His tone was very cold, and at the same time, he directly pushed Storm away to take Harry and Peter out of here.
But before walking to the gate, he couldn't help but turn around and say something. "If a race has given up on self-salvation, I think they can already be thrown into the grave of history."
"Wait Nightcrawler, how can I contact you if there is a situation." When Li Jie was about to leave the gate of the mutant school, Charles Xavier stopped him.
"Do you think they are really trustworthy? It seems that they don't care about this matter." Harry was very dissatisfied with what he had just encountered in the mutant school.
"At least that professor seems like a nice guy," said Peter, but added. "The shape looks a bit like the villain in Hyperion, the bald rich man who is very rich and grabs a girlfriend with Hyperion."
"Sliding wing, lend me Harry first." Li Jie said to Harry. "I'm going back to New York first to meet some people who know magic."
After hearing this, Harry handed over control of the only intact sliding wing to Li Jie. "But how do Peter and I get back? It's not close to the city, and it looks like we can't hail a taxi with our outfit."
"Let Peter tie you up with spider silk, and then hold you and swing back to New York!" Li Jie left only one sentence before controlling Feiyi to leave here.
"Be careful, be careful!" SHIELD's secret service department arrived today with a special cargo.
This is a special product that has just been transported back from the North Pole. A huge piece of ice has been kept in a huge refrigeration equipment and transported thousands of kilometers and has just arrived in New York.
From the depths of the Arctic glaciers, the ice cubes frozen by pure sea water are extremely transparent.
Through the transparent ice we can see a burly man wearing a very special combat uniform in the red and blue colors of the American flag.
A silver-white star adorns the chest of this suit, and a shield of the same hue is frozen together in an ice cube.
A middle-aged man with a kind face, who looked like there were more insurance salesmen than agents, Coulson said with a smile while looking at the person in the ice. "Welcome home Captain Steve Rogers."
