Chapter 287 I'm Not Professor X Look at My Hair
Charles felt that it was too difficult for him.
Some time ago, he risked the exposure of his mutant identity and wrote a paper about human gene mutations, but was ridiculed by the academic community, saying that he was a lackey of capitalists and did not hesitate to set the comics as a scientific paper to publish in order to promote "X-Men".
The plot is so bad that it is comparable to publishing the "Feasibility Report on My Marrying Liu Tianxian" in a provincial journal in a certain Eastern country.
Charles just wants to say:
Joke! He is a rich man worth billions of meters of gold. If he doesn’t do a good capitalist, why should he become a capitalist’s lackey?
However, the outside world did not accept his explanation. Even if his wealth was confirmed, he would just say with striking slang:
"Being rich cannot prove that the paper is fine, it can only prove that his academic fraud methods are too low-level. I think no one will find out if the comics are changed to academic papers."
"Or, he is actually the boss behind the X-Men IP, otherwise why is Professor X's name exactly the same as him?"
"It must be the authentic leader who flatters his subordinates and uses the boss as the prototype!"
"So that's it! No wonder Professor X acted so gloriously, without any dark spots at all. It turns out that he is the boss, who dares to say bad things about the boss!"
“…”
As he got darker and darker, Charles simply gave up the explanation. Anyway, he had graduated successfully, so Oxford University would not take back his degree because of this, right?
He was so anxious that he built a school himself, sent himself a diploma and degree certificate, and hired himself as a professor.
Money is so calm!
Of course, not everyone mocked him. For example, a CIA agent named Moira appreciated him and his papers and came to him on his own initiative.
“Professor X.”
Moira looked at the familiar stranger and wanted to call him Charles, but she thought that the two of them hadn't known each other yet, so she decided to make it official.
However, Charles seemed to be unacceptable to this title and frowned slightly, "I'm not a professor, just call me Charles."
Moira nodded: "Okay, Professor Charles."
Charles: "…"
He was stunned and said helplessly: "First, I did not teach in the university, nor did I obtain the title of professor; second..."
Speaking of this, he stroked his hair and smiled without saying a word.
Moira couldn't help asking, seeing that he had no explanation for it for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "What about the second one?"
"Second, do you look at my hair, like Professor X?" Charles was angry.
He admitted that he was very similar to Professor X. Not only was he named, family background, but he even had the same superpowers. The author of "X-Men" must have had a deep understanding of him and created Professor X based on him.
However, he is really not Professor X. He has hair but does not have a good friend nicknamed Magneto. He is not a professor and does not need to be in a wheelchair.
More importantly, he doesn't want others to call him Professor X.
First of all, he didn't want anyone to think too much, so he thought of his mutant identity.
Secondly, since "X-Men" became popular all over the world, people who know him like to call him "Professor X" and look at him with strange eyes.
It would be fine if it was just this, the key was that through telepathy, he discovered that these people were all ready to move and wanted to touch his hair at all times, for fear that they would not be able to touch it if they didn't touch it now.
Also, Fuguo is a big football country. When he was in Oxford, he was affected by the environment and liked to play. However, every time he had a name, no one was willing to play with him - they were afraid that he would accidentally kick his leg!
All these things made him subconsciously resist the name "Professor X".
Moira doesn't know her true thoughts, and she thought he didn't want to call him "Professor X" by herself, so she didn't like bald heads, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "Actually, bald heads are good."
“…”
Charles was speechless and had to say, "Agent Moira, you are looking for me, probably not to discuss whether the bald head is good, right?"
"ha!"
Moira smiled embarrassedly, and after a while, her mood returned to normal, she said seriously: "I am looking for you because I want to ask you to be a consultant to the CIA."
“What consultant?”
“Mutant Consultant.”
After saying that, Moira told Charles that she had met a mutant named Sebastian Shaw, who seemed to be planning a conspiracy and needed Charles to assist her in the investigation.
When Charles heard that there were other mutants, he thought, "Okay!"
...
Moira is very sincere, but she is just an agent of the CIA, not a director or deputy director, and cannot recruit or appoint consultants on her own.
All she could do was recommend Charles and Riven to the headquarters, take a look at the leaders above, and then decide whether to leave the person behind.
When he arrived at the CIA headquarters, Moira first talked about Sebastian Shaw and then pulled Charles to his side: "He is the mutant expert I mentioned, Charles Francis Xavier."
“Professor X?”
A deputy director named Laurent lit up his eyes and he took the lead in speaking.
Charles: "I'm not a professor...well, not yet."
As soon as these words came out, another deputy director Dennis, who was not very close to Laurent, said unhappy: "Isn't even a professor? What kind of consultant?"
Charles: "…"
Seeing this, Moira explained: "Professor X...well, Charles, although not a professor, he is a double doctor of biology and psychology who graduated from Oxford University and has in-depth research on mutants..."
"What you said is that you have in-depth research on "X-Men" and treat the comics as scientific research results, right?" Dennis said sarcastically.
Moira and Charles were speechless, and in the end, Lawrence rescued them: "This is the CIA, not the academic committee. What we have to do is to deal with the threat and ensure the safety of the country and the people!"
"You expect a liar..."
Dennis was still waiting for it, but the director knocked on the table and said, "Okay, Mr. Charles, since Moira said you are a mutant expert and came to deal with mutants, please provide some evidence first to prove that mutants do exist."
Charles was stunned and did not take action.
Dennis said with bad intentions: "Didn't Professor X be telepathic? In order to prove that he is not a liar, why don't you respond, what am I thinking at the moment?"
"Charles!" Moira was afraid that he would be fooled, so she quickly spoke up to remind her.
She was sure that as long as Charles answered positively, whether he said it right or wrong, Dennis would say that he was right.
In this way, the slander of the liar is cleared, but the telepathic ability is confirmed.
The CIA will never allow a telepathic person to exist, even if this person is moving closer to the CIA!
Charles: "Sorry, I'm not Professor X. I think I've already said this."
