The Ranchel family's family meeting lasted until late at night, and they initially finalized the basic plan for publicity. Wanda opened a separate account, which was jointly operated by Wanda and Jarvis to show their daily couple life, while Polaris and Pete
Luo opened an account to photograph the scenery of the Andromeda Galaxy and the daily life of mutants working in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Even though the three siblings didn't get along, they were young after all, and they always had common topics on this kind of thing. After Magneto left, they continued to discuss it for two or three hours, until it was almost dawn.
After Magneto Eric returned to his room, he took off his stiff combat equipment, ignored his messy white hair, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Then as expected, I saw those blue eyes.
"You can just recall your youth in your own dreams, instead of coming to my place." The old Eric looked at the young Charles and said.
Charles, who had a youthful appearance, seemed to have regained his youthful liveliness. He crossed his arms and smiled and said: "Am I recalling our common youth, or do you think you were no longer young at that time?"
Eric didn't reply. He just raised his hand, and piles of information flew into his hands. Charles glanced at it and knew that it was information about the recent biological riots in the Andromeda Galaxy.
"You shouldn't be so tired. These things you saw in your dreams will soon be forgotten by you. Why not use this time to have a good dream?"
"I just do what I can."
"You should know that my appearance here is not an accident." Charles walked around behind Eric, "Professor
You’re in trouble.”
"Since you know you are not the real Professor X, just say less."
"This is completely opposite to the purpose of creating me. Wasn't it because the real Professor X ignored you that you needed me to accompany you? Now you think I talk too much?"
"You don't exist, you are just a shadow in my memory."
"If that's the case, when you created me, you wouldn't have given me the real ability of Charles. You hate him reading your mind, but you also like that he can always use his mind-reading ability when you need him.
It’s time to help you solve your problems, isn’t that why I exist?”
Magneto's hand paused for a moment, and he said: "I am neither a poor little guy who escaped from a concentration camp, nor a terrorist who is being hunted. Nothing in this world can trouble me anymore."
"I'll say it again, if this were really you, I wouldn't be here now." Young Charles blinked and said, "You will only dream of me when you are worried, scared and stressed."
"Do you think I will be afraid of these things?" Magneto raised the information in his hand with disdain and said: "If it weren't for finding the mastermind behind the scenes, would these mutated animals and plants be my opponents?"
"Of course you are not worried about this matter, otherwise I should have appeared a long time ago. The fact that you dreamed about me tonight just means that something happened tonight. You had a meeting with your children."
"Yes, and the real Charles thought I would never sit down and talk to them, but I did."
"From what I can see, he doesn't think you can't sit down and talk to them, but he thinks you shouldn't do it."
"No, he always wanted me to have a good relationship with my children."
"Did he tell you that?" Charles laughed, and then continued: "I don't think he is so kind. He doesn't want you to distract your attention from other people. Otherwise, why would he never mediate?
, but knowing what kind of person you are, but still asking you to face them head-on?"
"Maybe it was like this before, but at least now..."
"Your current communication with them has not brought you any benefit. You feel a kind of panic of being left behind by the times. You find that you don't understand the Internet opinions and Internet celebrity accounts they talk about at all."
"How could I not understand?" Magneto lowered his eyes and said, "I know the power of public opinion very well, otherwise what would I have been doing all these years?"
"The principles remain unchanged, but the way of expression has been completely changed. Haven't you noticed? The law of public opinion diffusion in the information age is completely different from before. People's focus is completely different from before. Aren't you confused by this?
?”
"Maybe, but Wanda and the others can do it."
"You can't get involved, which gives you a sense of powerlessness that things are out of your control."
"I was hoping that they would be beyond my control so that there would be successors to the mutants."
"But what if one day you are no longer needed at all? Will you retire willingly and use your pension to report to a university for the elderly?"
"I don't have a pension."
"That's even more sad, because Professor X has it, and you can only watch him report."
"He can't go either. The University for the Elderly does not accept disabled people."
"Do you think he will still pretend to be disabled and stay with you by then?" After walking around in a circle, Charles stopped in front of Magneto again. He said: "He is just playing these tricks with you now.
Because you are useful, if one day the mutant no longer needs you, will he still care so much whether your attention is focused on him?"
"He will. Even if someone surpasses me, it doesn't mean I'm worthless, does it?"
"You know, you are not worried about Wanda and the others." Charles said: "Although the mood changed tonight, the pressure is gradually building up in my heart. You know who brought this change."
"You want to say large group?"
"Charles has been paying attention to his son recently, hasn't he?" Young Charles kept smiling and said in an understatement: "He thinks that the large group may be the hope of the future of mutants, and has been working hard to train him. He will
Use him to take your place."
"So what? I'm always going to die."
"Will Charles die with you?"
Magneto was silent, tapping the surface of the information in his hand with his fingertips, his whole figure was like an old and dusty clock.
"Either you live together and work for the future of mutants, or you die together and leave the future in the hands of others, instead of one of you dying and the living one finding another person to take your place."
"This is unimaginable horror," Magneto said.
"Then you should do something."
"I won't." Magneto took a slight breath and exhaled it, and then said: "I said, I am no longer the poor little guy who escaped from the concentration camp, nor am I a terrorist despised by everyone."
"What's the difference? You think you have more care and responsibility, but don't these still come from Charles?"
"Helping mutants get out of trouble is my career, it has nothing to do with Charles."
"In other words, if these two are placed in front of you, you will still choose the former and give up the latter."
"No one can make me make such a choice."
"Yes, this is all your progress over the years. You finally don't have to face such a dilemma anymore because Charles chose to be on your side."
"He's always been on my side."
"Well, I was wrong. He chose to stand by your side openly, and that has been the case so far."
"What do you mean?"
"You know that there is another person who has attracted his attention, the lost body of Queen Lilandra of the Shi'ar Empire. Charles has also focused part of his attention on her. Maybe he will soon find his own.
Are you in love?"
"He won't. Lilandra is a liar, a stupid woman who can't stand up to the wall at all. Charles knows better than me."
"But they have been standing together openly and honestly much earlier than you."
"This is Charles' private matter."
"You have been Charles's personal matter for much longer than she has."
"What do you think I should do? Treat Charles' son and ex-wife like a madman?"
"Isn't that how he treated you?" Charles' blue eyes stared at Eric's cloudy eyes and said: "He took away every one of your children and let them be close to him, not you. He didn't treat you.
What your ex-wife does is just because he knows they are not important enough to you. If you had true love, how do you know he wouldn't do something to her?"
Charles tilted his head and walked to Eric and continued: "Even if he really did something, would you know?"
"I don't care."
"Yes, you have never cared, so you have almost abandoned all your relatives. Apart from him, there is no close person around you, but he is very popular, and now he has a son and a wife. Do you think this is fair?"
"It's dawn, it's time for you to go."
Charles' figure slowly disappeared, but he continued: "You should let him focus all his attention on you. Only in this way is it fair."
Magneto opened his eyes, and the sunlight was already filling the room. He sat up, put on his coat again, opened the door and walked out quickly.
He didn't see another person standing in the corner of the room, looking ethereal under the sunlight.
Dr. Strange, who has the power of dreams, came to Schiller's room. Schiller had just gotten up. When he was washing, he looked up and saw another person standing behind him in the mirror. He was startled.
"Can you stop acting like a ghost?" Schiller said helplessly.
"My true body is still in the dream. This is just a projection. I went to Magneto's dream to see it."
"How about it?"
"Honestly, I don't understand his relationship with Professor X." There was a hint of confusion in the tone of Dr. Strange's tone.
He told Schiller what he saw and heard in Magneto's dream, but Schiller didn't show the slightest surprise. He just squeezed toothpaste on his toothbrush and spoke.
"So that's it. It seems that Charles's worries are justified. No wonder he asked me to take action to see what happened to Eric recently."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He's not in a good state lately." Schiller shrugged slightly and said, "He's a little passive and slacking off. That's not like him."
"So what happened to him?"
Schiller thought for a while and then said: "If Tony Stark's childhood was as long as several decades, then Magneto's childhood was probably over fifty, to be precise, it was as long as his age.
"
"It can be seen from his own dreams that Professor
Doctor Strange, who has the power of dreams, recalled what Magneto said to the blue-eyed young man in his dream, and was still shocked by the unclear relationship between them.
"Okay, my task has been completed. I will call Professor X later and tell him, when do you plan to see Eternity?"
