Eight hundred and eightieth IX Starry Brilliant (Thirty-Four)
"Charles, it's been a long time since we called each other, right? Do you still remember your old friend?" A gray-haired old general stood in the communication room, holding the phone and saying to the other side.
"General Davis, it's true that we haven't contacted each other for a long time. When we were in school, we also participated in a club. I didn't expect that you have been retired for many years now." Charles' voice was full of nostalgia, and the person opposite him said
This general can be regarded as his old friend.
"Yes, at that time, you were a famous social expert, and I...forget it, let's not mention it. You should know that I was invited by some people to call you and ask.
Your situation in the Andromeda Galaxy..."
The old general's words were very straightforward. In fact, he was unwilling to come. But now, several generals from the military and some people from the presidential palace were standing here looking at him, and he had no other choice.
"Our situation is pretty good." Charles smiled and said, "We set up a temporary camp in the capital of the Andromeda Commonwealth civilization. Now, several mutants from the X-Men are temporarily living here."
After speaking, Charles looked around at the luxurious office. It was his favorite British style. Dark wooden floors spread throughout the office, dark red thick curtains were hung on both sides of the windows, and rows of bookshelves were connected to the wine room.
The cabinets and the oil paintings hanging on the walls were moved from his previous manor, and they fit this style very well."
This is the result of the renovation of the luxurious Crystal Garden on the previous sky island. Looking out the window, Polaris is chasing Wolverine, Cyclops and Shockwave are trying to break up the fight next to it. Looking outside, there is also a Kree
The frigate was parked not far away, and the huge spaceship occupied half of the sky, making the island seem a bit small.
"Okay, Charles, I won't beat around the bush with you. We got the news here that an uprising broke out on the Brimstone Dwarf Prime, which affected the production of molten steel, and someone discovered human mutants there. What happened?
One thing?"
The old general pushed up his glasses and said: "Charles, you have to know that there are thousands of aerospace projects around the world, all of which rely on molten steel. Indeed, stopping these projects is just a return to the origin, but you and I both started from that
Time has passed, don't you want to see the brilliant stars in the universe?"
What he said was true, but Charles said with some confusion: "The Brimstone Dwarfs revolted? Their star area is far away from where we are now. The X-Men have never been there?"
"Davis, you know, I won't lie about this kind of thing. To fight in the universe, you must first have a star map. Mutants have never been there at all. Without the star map there, how can they participate in the war there?
among?"
A staff member whispered: "Ask him about the Brotherhood of Mutants and Magneto..."
So, the old general said: "Of course, I believe you very much, Charles, you are not that kind of person, but I still have doubts. Magneto has always complained about ordinary people..."
"You mean Eric?" Charles sighed and said, "According to Lorna, his father also came here, but we don't know where they are. You also know that Magneto can control the magnetic field. If he wants to
Even if you cover yourself up, I won’t be able to find you.”
"If it was him who participated in the Brimstone Dwarf Uprising, then I can only say that it may be His Majesty Thanos who has some ideas about this special metal."
Then, Charles lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I have wanted to call you for a long time. This so-called His Majesty Thanos' territory is in the Dark Quadrant. I have been there once. His capital star is extremely well-armed.
The army is also very strong."
"He himself is a member of the Titan clan, one of the most powerful creatures in the universe. He also has five Obsidian generals under his command. What's even more frightening is that he has always had ideas about the earth, the cosmic greenhouse. I wanted to further explore his ideas, but failed.
Already."
Charles' tone became very serious, and he said: "You'd better be prepared. This inciting the uprising of the Brimstone Dwarves may be his test. If humans are not tough enough, then the next step will be not just Andromeda."
Galaxy."
Charles rarely said so many words at once, but these words made the atmosphere in the room seem to solidify. The old general Davis swallowed his saliva and said: "You mean, there is a powerful cosmic force targeting
Have you fallen in love with us and have already taken action against the human forces in the Andromeda Galaxy?"
"Yes, it is difficult for me to find out Eric's thoughts, but you should also know his life experience. He hates ordinary humans. I am trying to impress his daughter. After all, Lorna is his most beloved little daughter.
If she can change her mind, maybe she can also persuade her father..."
At this moment, a man dressed as a soldier walked in. He saluted and then said: "General, the plane Schiller Rodriguez is on will land in ten minutes. Please inform the tower to take action."
Measures?”
At this time, the atmosphere in the room can no longer be said to be solidified. Everyone is on the verge of breaking apart. There are powerful cosmic forces outside looking at them, and there is an angry Iron Curtain inside waiting for revenge. It is time to choose whether to save your head first or come first.
Time to save your ass.
Everyone gathered together to discuss it, and decided with tears that it was better to solve the internal problems first. The problem caused by the cutoff of molten steel may not break out for at least a month, but in a few hours, the Iron Curtain will return.
The general standing behind General Davis walked over directly, took the microphone and said: "Hello, Charles Xavier, I am the leader of the military. Now, we have a big trouble. I hope you can help us."
Solve it, and only you can help us solve it..."
The people next to him wanted to stop him. After all, once the bottom is penetrated, one must be prepared for heavy bleeding, but he hesitated for a moment and still did not step forward. Now, he would either bleed or die.
The hemorrhaging was at best a waste of taxpayers' money. If there was no blood, they would be the ones hanging the street lights. Within three seconds, everyone made their own choice and quoted their lowest price with their eyes.
"Oh, what's the trouble?" Charles turned his chair and looked at Strange and Schiller who were opening the portal in the center of the office. He said, "If it is a matter of human survival, the X-Men will be very happy to help."
"Well, it's like this..." General Davis hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Many tragedies have happened recently, and an extremely irrational, possibly extremely biased, and extremely paranoid person,
He is approaching New York, and he has the same mind control ability as you..."
Charles took the phone and walked into the portal and arrived at the top of Stark Tower. Schiller behind him made a gesture to him, and Charles nodded.
At this time, on the other end of the phone, the door was pushed open again, and another officer rushed in and said: "Report!
The plane has landed! Schiller Rodriguez...has arrived in New York!
!
"
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked stern, because they all felt that just now, their thinking had stagnated for about a second.
A thought storm swept across New York.
There was no smoke, no explosion, and no mushroom cloud, but everyone constructed the scene of EMP weapon launch in the world in their own minds.
Starting from a central point, powerful waves of thought spread out, instantly radiating to nearly 10 million people in New York. It was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, creating ripples, or like a roaring spring thunder that crashed into the clouds.
The layers spread out.
“Charles…Charles!
!Stop him quickly!
Professor X!
!" A person rushed up and shouted into the receiver: "You can do whatever you want, stop him quickly, don't let him destroy New York!
"
"This is a warning! This is a warning from him! Stop him quickly," another person shouted, and there was even a hint of crying in his voice.
The thought storm that just now covered the entire New York did not actually cause any substantial harm to anyone. For ordinary people, this kind of stagnation of thinking for a second or two is actually, in their daily lives, this kind of thinking.
This situation also occurs frequently.
Many people often lose focus for a period of time when they are concentrating on something, even those talented researchers.
Even if everyone had this feeling at the same time, no one would yell, and no one would notice it except those who had been alert for a long time.
The personnel of the military and Congress, who had been tense for several hours, finally collapsed completely. In the timeline of these few hours, their psychological pressure continued to increase, and their heartstrings were stretched to the limit, so that the little
The slightest disturbance can set them off.
"Professor! Only you have the ability to stop him! Come on, please, don't let him destroy mankind, we are willing to pay any price..."
"But..." Charles's hesitant voice came from the phone receiver: "As far as I know, you should have an ideological dispute. This is a dispute within ordinary human society, and mutants cannot participate..."
"I never express any political views, and I never take sides. If I help you deal with him, wouldn't that be..."
"Of course you can. You are a member of the human race. You are just protecting ordinary people. Hurry, he is coming..."
At the same time, in the office in heaven, Stark looked at a strange-looking device in his hand and said:
"Just now, Jarvis said that his signal was disturbed, and it seemed that the thinking of everyone in New York was affected for a moment. When did Schiller have this ability?"
At this moment, the portal opened. Schiller stretched out half of his body, waved to the door and said, "Tony, why on earth did you design so many buttons for this freezing warehouse? It just sent out a low temperature alarm. I should press it."
Which button will stop this damn cryogenic chamber???"
"Didn't I tell you everything? The biggest button is smart temperature control... Wait a minute, Schiller, when did you have the ability to control thoughts? Didn't you say that your telepathy can only feel
Are you in the mood for Mo Lake?”
Schiller was stunned for a moment and said: "When did I have the ability to control thoughts?...I don't have it. I have always only had Mohu's telepathy ability."
"So what happened to the thought storm that just broke out in New York? Don't try to lie to me. Before I came in, I had already used magic energy to keep in touch with Jarvis. He told me that according to his data..."
"Oh, um, that's Professor Charles. Isn't this his signature ability?" Schiller shrugged and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? I said I could brainwash all mankind, just to scare people.
Of them, the one who really has this ability is Professor Charles, not me."
Stark frowned. He had just listened to Nick explain the series of plans he and Schiller had made, but what he didn't expect was that this plan was even more outrageous than he thought.
"You mean, you designed many traps, killed all the superheroes in New York who had the ability to check you, and then pretended to be killed because of these superheroes, and rushed to New York very angry."
"Those people really thought that it was their fault that the superhero was killed, and they also thought that you had the ability to brainwash the whole world, so they had to turn to another person who had the ability to brainwash the whole world, and that was Professor X."
"When they sought help from Professor
"At this time, you used the threat of the Brotherhood of Mutants to molten steel to draw out the enemy spying on the earth, create a tense atmosphere, and make them fall into the anxiety of a zero-sum game."
"And Professor
"And those who received the warning had to turn to Professor X for help because of fear and accept his conditions. And because mutants can gain great benefits, Professor
Stark covered his forehead and said: "In fact, this is basically a shocking scam directed and performed by you alone!"
Schiller said with some confusion, "What kind of scam? I'm just laying the groundwork. The real deception... I mean, the real plan hasn't started yet."
Stark narrowed his eyes, looked at him and said: "You have said this before, don't tell me, this is not the topic."
"Of course not." Schiller said with a sneer: "Mutants are just a small target, and the next step is the real thing."
After saying that, he closed the portal and disappeared into the office. At this time, in General Davis's office, Charles's voice came from the receiver of the phone:
"I accept your conditions. I have opened the portal and will return to Earth immediately... Oh, Jesus, what is the position of the brain waves here..."
Everyone stared at the phone nervously, but then, Charles' serious voice came, and he said: "I'll tell you some bad news. I can only hold him back, but I can't defeat him. If the two of us confront each other head-on,
Everyone in New York will be shocked into idiots..."
"How long can you hold him off?" General Davis asked immediately.
"Three days at most."
Charles only replied one sentence and then hung up the phone. A general next to him hammered the wall angrily and said, "He is a liar! He clearly said..."
"Now is not the time to discuss this! Within three days, we must find a solution, otherwise, he will destroy the entire New York!"
The admiral took a deep breath and clenched his fists hard. At this time, another agent walked up. He was wearing the uniform of a SHIELD field agent, but he saluted with a military salute and said:
"Report! General, we have discovered a secret plan in the legacy of SHIELD. The confidentiality level is level 10. It is a secret plan that only Nick Fury knows. It is called Project Tahiti."
"Who asked you to come here?! Is this the time to report this?" General Ross said angrily, but the admiral stopped him. He looked at the agent and said: "What's so special about this plan?
Are you reporting here now?"
The agent stood up straight and said:
"General, the ultimate goal of the Tahiti Project is to resurrect humanity."
