26. The Covenant of Darkness(1/2)

"Piot, you got up so early."

In the town hall of the utopian town, Merlin met the Steeler Piot who was helping out here.

He smiled and greeted the young man.

This strong and philosophical young man is one of Professor Charles's best students. He is a very patient person. Maybe that's why he also has his own job in Utopia City.

He is responsible for reviewing the request information of mutants from all over the world to enter the utopia, then screen out those mutants who meet the criteria, and then send out the invitation letter.

It was a very complicated job, but seeing Piot busy in the town hall early in the morning, he obviously enjoyed it.

When he saw Merlin walking into the city hall with a cane and a windbreaker, Genris greeted him friendly and asked:

"How are you doing lately? Mr. Merlin."

"Yeah, it's not good."

Merlin shook his head and said softly:

"Trouble, trouble, trouble everywhere, troubles that will never be handled, and I am in trouble now, and I have to come to you to ask for support."

Merlin's face was gentle, and he asked softly:

"Is the professor here?"

“Here.”

Piot pointed to the top of his head and said:

"The professor got up very early today, and he was in his office on the third floor. In recent days, he has been meeting with representatives of mutant people from various regions and discussing issues with them about the establishment of the Mutant Mutant Help Society."

"He's really busy."

Merlin said:

"Then I won't bother you anymore, Piot, keep working, I'll talk to the professor."

As Piott waved goodbye friendly, Merlin entered the elevator. The moment the elevator door closed, Icarus warned on the lens in front of Merlin.

"The aircraft suspected to be Megtron is flying in this direction at Mach 30 and may arrive in Utopia in seven minutes."

"7 minutes?"

Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses, and he said:

"Enough."

"bite."

At this moment, the elevator arrived at the third floor and the silver elevator door slid to both sides.

Merlin walked out of the elevator with the "Grave of Dracula". At this morning, the working hours at the Town Hall were not yet on the way, so there were not many people in this postmodern-style office building.

Merlin walked towards Professor Charles' office, and he saw Cyclops with red goggles on the way. He was not familiar with the guy, but the two of them still nodded calmly and politely to express their greetings.

I heard that Summers is Professor Charles' most trusted student and the second leader of the X-Men. In the Xavier Academy system, he is even more trusted than Qin and Ororo.

The beautiful Qin is still Summers' girlfriend.

However, Merlin also heard from the little girl Lona who loves to spread gossip that it was the last time Wolverine Logan lived in Xavier Talented Youth Academy and had some close contact with Qin, which made Summers very dissatisfied.

Lorna said she heard the argument between Qin and Summers, but Riven said it was just Lorna's hallucination.

Well, Riven doesn't like Cyclops much. She thinks this seemingly mature man is not reliable. Riven says that this guy suppresses his feelings, and one day, this suppressed feeling will burst out, like a presumptuous wildfire, burning everything he cares about.

But this has nothing to do with Merlin, at least now, it has nothing to do with it.

"Bang, bang"

Merlin reached out and knocked on the door of Professor Charles' office, and a moment later, the professor's signature gentle voice rang out in the door:

"Come in."

Meilin took a deep breath, pushed open the door, walked into the simple office, and reached out to close the door.

He walked to the professor who was working hard, leaning on his cane, and then sat on the chair in front of the professor.

Merlin looked at Professor Charles, who was bald in front of him, and an indescribable sense of absurdity rose in his heart. The old man in front of him was almost the one with the best temper, the best personality, and the most consistent with the definition of "good person" among all the people he had ever met.

But under the appearance of this good man, what is hidden is a soul that is walking into the darkness, a soul that is struggling in the mud of pain.

"professor"

Merlin leaned on "Dracula's Grave" with both hands, and said in a tone without ups and downs:

"I've visited McGonitt."

"Um?"

The professor's movement of writing and drawing on the desk file stopped at this moment, and he asked in that gentle voice:

"so what?"

"so"

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Let it come out I'm going to talk to it."

"oh."

The professor raised his head, still with that gentle smile on his face. He looked at Merlin, like a kind old man looking at his young friend, and he asked softly:

"What are you going to talk to me?"

“???”

Hearing this sentence, Merlin's expression changed slightly.

He thought that the gentle person in front of him was Professor Charles, but now it seems that it is not

"You have already gained the upper hand."

Merlin said:

"It seems that even if we are very cautious, we still underestimate you."

"No, don't say that."

Professor Charles moved his shoulders, and he stretched out his hand to support the armrest of the wheelchair, stood up in front of Merlin in a normal posture, walked to the window. He looked at the earth covered with sunshine below, and said:

"Charles and I are one, and the differences between us are not as huge as you and McGonitt think."

"Merlin, look at the city in front of you. This is everything I did for Charles. He sees it. You may not know. He has stopped resisting because he sees it. I am doing what he thinks is right."

The professor turned around and still had that gentle and charitable smile on his face, but this smile came to Merlin's eyes, which was somewhat terrifying.

"You look in a hurry"

Professor Charles, no, said softly:

"Then let's make more time."

He stretched out his hand, and there was a red arm ring on his wrist. He snapped his fingers gently. The world in front of Merlin suddenly slowed down. The time that was originally moving forward with rhythm seemed to be trapped in a swamp of mud. Of course, the slowness was not the whole world, but the time in this office.

This should be the ability of a mutant absorbed by the crazy attack that can delay time.

"Tell me, why did you come."

Standing by the window, the sun shining on him without any gloom.

McGonitt was right. The growth rate of Mad Attack was too fast. The feeling he gave Merlin even gave Merlin a hint of the feeling of facing the hairless Supreme Master Sister.

Of course, there is only a slight similarity.

The beautiful sister made Meilin feel like an ant and could not raise any thoughts of resistance in her heart, but in the face of the crazy attack, Meilin still had the power to counterattack, and he was not invincible.

"I'll ask you for help."

Merlin did not hide it. In front of a man like Crazy Attack who can see through his soul, hiding it has no meaning except to anger him.

He said:

"You should have known that a group of malicious Cybertrons are making trouble in North Africa, and the most dangerous of them may come here in a few minutes."

Merlin took the fire from her pocket and placed it on the table, and he said to Mad Attack:

"I originally planned to ask Eric for help, and he is theoretically the natural enemy of all mechanical life. But I was not going to go by chance. His ability was taken away by you, so I can only come here."

"Well, there's no logical problem."

The fire source was held in his hands like an invisible hand and landed in his hands.

He played with the fire and said to Merlin:

"But I'm curious, what reason do you plan to convince me to join this trouble"

"What I want to tell you in advance is that you have some misunderstandings about Magnett's ability. His ability to manipulate magnetic fields has its limits, Merlin. If it were Megtron, I can only tell you that I can't destroy it."

"Your understanding of the balance of all things is too shallow. It may be natural for cats to eat mice in your opinion, but when mice are too large and cats are too thin, cats will also become food for mice."

Kuanggang also looked very calm and did not hide much. He said to Merlin:

"The Cybertrons can survive until now means that they must have a way to fight the magnetic field, otherwise they would have withered among the stars. You must know that among this star full of endless secrets, there are definitely more than McGonitt who can control the magnetic field."
