Chapter 576 Six steps of the college, I want a piece of land
"Did you really promise him?"
"Yes."
"Since you know he is not a mutant, why did you still agree to him?"
"Because I think he can really do it."
In the manor, Eric frowned. He was now very envious of Charles's telepathic ability. If he could enter other people's minds at any time, then he wouldn't have to worry about whether Charles had taken the wrong medicine.
Or was he threatened? Controlled? Or was the Charles in front of him simply a fake?
Otherwise, how could a stubborn person like him suddenly be so easy to talk to, especially in his way of action, which is completely different from his original self-satisfaction, and he would actually show a radical side in his views on certain things.
"Okay, Eric, don't think about it. No one controls me, and no one threatens me. And I promise that I am true. Although I have indeed changed a lot from before, you have to know that life experience will always change inadvertently."
To change a person's behavior, even you, even if you have been imprisoned in that place for ten years, will not be exactly the same as you were ten years ago, right?"
Charles had a faint smile on his face.
Eric frowned: "Don't enter my mind so casually again, otherwise I will have to wear my helmet every day in the future."
"I didn't do that, because your psychological activities have been fully demonstrated through your expression. Don't forget that I am still a psychology expert. Also, where is your helmet?"
"Of course, in the hands of those humans, there are still my clothes, even yours."
"Don't worry, we will have a chance to get it back."
Eric twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face and said, "You wouldn't have said such a thing before."
"Yes, but in the past, I was never rushed into the school and took away all my students and sent them to the battlefield." Charles' smile faded.
Eric suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to express it, but said calmly: "Actually, you should have judged these things long ago. They have never regarded us as real people with the right to life.
In the eyes of some people, we just look like human beings and should naturally kneel down and let them slaughter us."
Charles glanced at him and said, "Yes, part of me does think so."
Eric raised his lips cryptically: "So, we should use our actions to tell them that we are by no means a machine controlled by them, nor are we the cattle and sheep they raise. We have the right to survive, and we have the right to resist everything."
The right to persecute.”
Charles paused.
Eric was a little anxious, but he still held back, counting silently in his mind while waiting for Charles's response.
Finally, when he counted to the twelfth number.
"I agree."
So Eric couldn't hold it in any longer. He quickly turned around and saw Charles looking at him with a slight smile.
But now he doesn't mind at all that his temptation is discovered, because the result has already surprised him greatly.
"Do you really agree?"
"Yes."
Eric stepped forward, almost touching Charles.
He stared hard into the other person's eyes and said slowly but firmly: "Promise me, this is not to temporarily appease me, nor is it to divert my attention while you secretly do stupid things behind my back.
It’s not even a carefully crafted lie to get me to join your school.”
Just as Charles was about to speak, he hurriedly added: "You'd better think carefully before answering me, because if you lie to me, then I can guarantee that my revenge will make you regret it."
His reaction was as if he was prepared for the worry that was hard to erase before he started to get excited. He obviously couldn't wait to confirm, but deep down he was still afraid that everything would suddenly become empty.
However.
Charles did not hesitate or think, but said seriously: "Eric, I assure you that everything I just said, every word, is true and does not contain any deception."
"good!"
The loud and decisive drink was enough to show how excited Eric was now.
He then asked: "Then should we consider how to act next?"
Charles shook his head slowly: "No, it's not yet this step. What you should do now is to meet our principal."
Eric frowned.
In fact, he didn't really want to be a director of political education, but if he could join forces with Charles to continue fighting for the cause of mutants, then he could endure this grievance.
"Go ahead, believe me, if you really talk about it, he will definitely impress you."
"Oh, then I'll go and see what kind of magic this person has. Even you can be persuaded by him."
Eric turned and left.
Charles watched off with a smile.
Of course Eric was unconvinced, and it was not impossible that there might even be a trace of jealousy hidden in it.
Think about it, Eric and Charles have been friends and colleagues for many years. They have experienced various difficulties and crises, large and small, and are both mutants. They must have stayed together for warmth and got to know each other well during those years in the CIA.
Even with such a friendship, the two parted ways when faced with missiles launched by humans. Charles did not agree with Eric's direct counterattack anyway, and even did not hesitate to fight with him.
But now, a man suddenly appeared and actually changed Charles's ideas. Although Charles had been disheartened before, and although his change of ideas was not directly in line with Eric's, at least the two ideas now share the same idea.
There is a possibility of overlap.
How could Eric not think more about it?
Fortunately, the EC duo are two grown men with normal orientations. If they were a boyfriend and girlfriend, they would probably have had a huge quarrel long ago.
On the way, Eric met Hank and after asking him about Hong Fei's room, he went directly to the door.
Hank looked at his back, thought for a while, and quickly called Logan to go find Charles together.
Everyone knows Eric's bad reputation, and we all know that he is not a very patient and kind person.
But they also knew that Hong Fei, the new outsider, was not easy to get along with, and even the jokes he sometimes made were shocking.
When these two meet, if they don't deal with each other, the school will probably be overthrown in the next second.
As a person who had personal experience in 2006, Rogan deeply agrees with this.
The two of them were going to look for Charles when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Hank turned his head and frowned, and said, "Logan, you go find the professor first, and I'll go take a look."
Logan nodded and Hank trotted to the door.
However, he had just opened the door a crack, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's you?!"
the other side.
When Eric heard "Please come in" from the door, he opened the door directly and entered.
In order to prevent some people from suddenly disturbing him, he also closed the door very "considerately".
"Please take a seat."
Hong Fei's invitation without raising his head made Eric frown slightly. Such behavior was considered rude for the unfamiliar relationship between the two.
But Eric endured it, for the sake of Charles.
He sat aside and waited for Hong Fei to look up.
But dozens of seconds passed, and Hong Fei still looked at the table motionless.
He suddenly became curious and leaned forward with his upper body, looking at what was in front of Hong Fei.
But soon, he became confused again.
map?
Why look at a map? And it’s not a city map, but a world map.
If you have any questions, ask them. Eric said bluntly: "What are you looking at this for?"
Hong Fei raised his head and smiled at him.
"I want a piece of land, so I'm thinking, the world is so big, which place is the most suitable."
"Land? Suitable? What do you mean?"
"What do you think?" After asking, Hong Fei continued to look down.
Eric's heart was beating wildly like a deer.
He began to believe what Charles said. After all, for a man who can make your heart beat faster when you first meet him, no matter what happens next, it is possible.
He stared at Hong Fei's finger and saw that it sometimes tapped lightly on the map, and sometimes drew a straight line or arc in a certain place regularly.
No matter where it clicked, Eric always felt as if it clicked on something he admired, and when it crossed the line, Eric felt like he was about to die.
After a while, Hong Fei suddenly turned around and put away the spread map.
Eric felt disappointed.
Hong Fei smiled and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting."
"It doesn't matter, but have you made your choice?"
"Not yet. There are many things that need to be considered, not just the environment, but also the subsequent business development, construction and expansion. This kind of thing cannot be decided at once."
Eric nodded with deep understanding.
Hong Fei continued: "I think Charles has told you about the new school. What is your opinion?"
"I accept."
"That's great!"
Hong Fei immediately stood up and stretched out his hand.
The two shook hands tightly and after a ceremonial hug, Hong Fei smiled and said: "I believe that with your joining, our school will become more eye-catching, and it will definitely become the best school in the world, whether it is human beings or not."
Yes, or a mutant."
"I believe it too." Eric smiled implicitly, because there were still some unanswered questions in his eyes.
After sitting down, Hong Fei said considerately: "Since you chose to accept the invitation, I think I am also obliged to answer your questions. If you have any questions, you can ask them now. I promise to do my best to answer you."
Eric did not hesitate and said immediately: "I want to know if you have any detailed plans for the school?"
"Of course there is. However, the detailed planning is a bit unclear right now, and the specific plan has yet to be sorted out. I will hand it over to you in the future. You need to be responsible for the specific implementation of many projects, so now, I can tell you
My phased goals.”
"I'm happy to hear it."
"Very good, I divide the future of X College into six stages."
"Six stages?" Eric frowned thickly.
"What? Is it longer or shorter?"
Eric thought about it for a moment, and realized that the six stages were just hierarchical divisions of whether they were long or short, so he shook his head.
Hong Fei continued: "In the first stage, we are just a school. We only want to recruit students. Except that the students are all mutants, there is no difference from other schools outside. If we talk about our other identity, then it is also
A gathering place for victims, we rely on each other and hug each other for warmth, just to avoid those murders that will suddenly appear at any time and place."
Eric raised his eyebrows and nodded, he started to feel interesting.
