"Yo, how do busy people have time to come to our little place?"
At the gate of Xavier's Talent Youth Academy, Auroro, who came to greet Merlin, crossed his waist and said to Merlin in a long black trench coat with a playful expression: "Your new dress is good." ”"Of course."
Merlin reached out and touched his sleeve, and he said, "This is a customized model, and ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money...
As for why I'm here, it's simple. ”Merlin followed Auroro into the academy and said, "I need to pick up my two younger sisters for the weekend, and by the way, I need to visit Professor Charles, who has been very busy lately, giving lectures all over the country, calling on mutants to join the moderates...
That scene is similar to the presidential election. ”"yes."
Auroro nodded, she said, "The professor is busy, but he is in a good mood, with the assistance of the authorities, the power of moderates is growing every day, extremist ideas are being driven out of the mainstream of mutant society, maybe soon, we can start to solve those real problems." ”"Those things have nothing to do with me."
Merlin waved his hand, he looked at the children playing on the grass in front of him, and said, "You have to go and talk to the authorities about those things."
Speaking of, Are Raven and Lorna still good?
Did they get into any trouble?
”"Raven is very good."
Auroro said to Merlin: "The child is very mature, and she can handle her relationship with other children very well, but she is a little cold and does not like to talk to other people.As for Lona—" Auroro said to Merlin with a bit of a headache, "She's pretty well-behaved, but...
After the last time John and Raven had some skirmishes, this girl began to target John everywhere, 3 days ago, she took a few children who had a good relationship with her, and blocked John in the utility room of the castle, she didn't know where to learn the method, and trapped John with those metal bars, until midnight, if it wasn't for Jean who heard John's cry for help at night, I'm afraid the child would have to stay in the utility room for a day. ”Speaking of this, Auroro turned his head to look at Merlin with a calm face, and she said, "Lorna has a strong sense of revenge, did she learn from you?"
”"I'm more curious, that John, how he survived the conflict with Raven."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders, and he said to Auroro, "It seems that you have taught my sister very well, and if anyone dares to provoke her in the past, you will probably have to look for his buried body in the back garden." ”Auroro stared at Merlin, and after a moment, she shook her head, "I know you're joking, but I still feel chills all over my body, maybe, I should pay more attention to Raven." ”"You'd better keep an eye on her."
Merlin said, "Lorna is just a kid and likes to play pranks, but Raven...
She has the soul of a giant living in her body, and she doesn't care about the ant's provocation because the ant is not a threat, and once she realizes the threat, the speed of her actions will catch you off guard. ”"And that John, keep him away from my sisters!"
With that, Merlin took out a few delicate chocolate candies from his pocket and gave them to the chirping children, and then followed Auroro into Xavier's Castle amid the laughter of the children.It was still a few hours before school ended on Friday, and Lorna and Raven were in class, so Merlin went to visit Professor Charles, who was preparing his speech in the castle."
Oh, Merlin, you're here."
As Merlin walked into the office, the professor was frowning and revising a manuscript full of words, when he looked up and gave Merlin a gentle smile, and said, "Sit down, I just need to ask you for advice." ”"What a coincidence, Professor."
Merlin sat on the couch in the professor's office and said to the professor, "I happen to have some things to ask you for help with, but let me see what problems you have." ”"It's about the Utopia Islands."
Professor Charles put down his speech, and the old man, who had recently been in very good spirits, leaned back in his wheelchair, and said to Merlin: "I have gathered a group of my fellow builders to go to the archipelago to build a town to be used as a home for the first occupants of Utopia.But now, I'm hesitant about how I can promote the concept of utopia to my fellow citizens without causing official alarm...
Although we are now in a cooperative situation, you also know that there are still a group of people in the government who are hostile to mutants. ”"Haven't we discussed this before?""
The reserved zone for moderate mutants, a new home for mutants who can't live in the world of ordinary people, a neutral zone that doesn't involve any political elements," Merlin said. ”"Well, that's a good statement, but there's a catch, Merlin."
The professor folded his hands and placed them on the table, and he said to Merlin, "Recently, there has been some gossip circulating among my compatriots that the Utopia Islands, in fact, are a penal colony, and the last resort for the official solution to the mutant problem.There are also some ill-intentioned people who exaggerate this horror, they spread rumors, claiming that once the mutants reach Utopia, once the number of mutants in the utopia reaches a certain level, then the official will start a purge plan to exterminate all the mutants in the archipelago at once. ”The professor's expression turned serious, and he said to Merlin, "Summers has been searching for the source of this nonsense rumor lately, but at the moment, according to the information he has found, behind these rumors...
There are official forces involved. ”"Huh?"
Merlin's brow furrowed as well, and he said, "You mean, someone is secretly preventing the unification of mutants?"
”"Such people have always existed.""
I've seen so many madmen who want to see the world burn," the professor said, "I mean, these rumors are certainly just the first step, and they may be followed by even more swift and vicious attacks."
So, I'm going to change the way we advertise utopia. ”Professor Charles said softly: "During this period of time, I have learned a lot of things that I didn't pay attention to before.At your suggestion, I also talked to that Mr.
Gordon, and I got a lot of inspiration from the social formation of the Inhuman. ”"Utopia should not be just a reservation for mutants, it should be a place to learn and choose.""
Just like this academy, mutants who have awakened their abilities but can't control them well should be sent to Utopia to learn their abilities, and after they can skillfully control their powers, they can choose to stay there or return to the world of ordinary people...
No one is going to stop them, leaving all the choices up to them or their parents. ”Looking back out the window at the children playing on the grass, he said, "As far as I know, it's not uncommon for a lot of parents to struggle with the problem of their children being mutants." ”The professor paused, he took a file from the drawer, handed it to Merlin, and said, "I'm also going to publish some books, these books are not for mutants, but for ordinary people, some of our previous propaganda acts are too rigid to fit the current situation." ”"I intend to use these books to tell ordinary people about the origins of mutants, about explanations of our abilities, and about the prospects and role of utopia.People fear and hate something because they don't understand it, and once they understand what seems weird, once they understand that mutants aren't born villains, maybe...
The integration between us in the future will be a little smoother. ”"And this, I need your help."
The professor told Merlin: "Many publishers are reluctant to publish these books because of social factors...
I hope S.H.I.E.L.D. can use some power to help us solve this..."
Before the professor's words were finished, a loud bang sounded outside the walls of Xavier's Talent Youth Academy, and Merlin's figure disappeared in the next moment, and when he reappeared, he had already come to the sky above the academy.He looked down and was frightened by the children playing in the grass as they saw the wall explode as if it had been hit by a cannonball, and the giant whose face could not be seen in the flying smoke.A true giant.At least 3 meters tall, it is a terrifying creature like a walking mountain of meat.Merlin saw it clearly.It was a guy in strange red leather armor and a red face helmet like a stone on top of his head, and he walked through the smoke and dust of the ruins of the walls, and like an ancient beast, he stepped into the land of Xavier House with a big grin.On Icarus's lens, the figure in the dust was quickly locked, and lines of information appeared in front of Merlin's eyes, and in the column of personal combat power assessment, there was a large, blood-red skeleton.This means that Icarus thinks this guy is powerful and will cause great trouble for Merlin."
Red Tank," Merlin muttered the name.This guy in front of him is famous on the S.D.O.L.D. wanted list, he is not a member of the mutant brotherhood, but he does cause a lot of violent attacks around the world, and many countries are wanted for this guy, but he can survive so many wanted and continue to operate, which proves that this guy is extraordinary.In fact, it is.In S.D.O.L.D.'
s assessment, the threat of the Red Tank is even comparable to that of Magneto.According to the information Merlin has gathered so far, the Red Tank's variant ability is very simple, that is, pure body enhancement, as well as an increase in strength and defense, which belongs to the type that will not be noticed at all among the thousands of strange mutant abilities.But these three innocuous enhancements of the Red Tank are not simple.Anything will not be easy to achieve the extreme, just like the Red Tank, his body enhancement has been pushed to the real extreme, in the previous pursuit of the Red Tank by the Ministry of Defense, those soldiers even used tanks and bombers, but still failed to leave this terrifying attacker.He almost stood up to the bombardment of shells and bombs all the way, brutally blasted a way through the defense circle of the Ministry of Defense, and then left the battlefield with a big grin under the gaze of hundreds of people.Bullets, shells, explosions, bombings, none of these modern technological forces can affect the charge of the Red Tank.In the circles of mutants, there is also a saying that is widely circulated.Never, never, never stand in the way of the Red Tank Charge.And some mutants who are afraid of the brute force of the Red Tank, with fear and reverence, call the Red Tank the "God of Destruction of Impact".But...
There is also some gossip that Red Tank is not actually a mutant, and his terrifying abilities come from something more terrifying than the X gene.Merlin didn't do it right away.Because the red tank doesn't seem to be planning to brutally tear down the castle in front of him.The reckless man in the red stone helmet stood on the lawn, patting the dust on his body as he let the children flee, not caring about the X-Men rushing out of the castle.He stood on the grass like a statue, and in a low voice like thunder, he shouted to the castle in front of him: "Charles!
”"I heard you've not been doing well lately...
So I'm going home to help you, won't you come out to see me?
”The moment Red Tank's shouts fell, Professor Charles's feedback sounded inside Red Tank, and Professor Charles didn't seem willing to let others hear the communication between him and Red Tank.This also made Merlin interested.He was keenly aware that there should be some strange and unimaginable connection between the dangerous thug Red Tank and Professor Charles."
You're still like this, exactly the same as you were decades ago, cowardly!"
Red Tank didn't seem to intend to accept the professor's silent offer, and despite being surrounded by Auroro, Summers, and Babi the Iceman, Red Tank shouted unconcernedly, "Come out, face me, Charles, face your demons...
I'll smash it into meat sauce like you to relieve your pain!

”"They're all a bunch of blind people."
Red Tank looked sarcastically at the X-Men around him and said, "They can't see your changes, but I can!"
You're not the same person you used to be...
Come out, Charles, and let me see, my dear...""
Enough!"
The professor's voice sounded at this moment, accompanied by the opening of the window, and the wheelchair suspended in the air carried the professor into the lawn below, he stared at the defiant red tank, and said: "Kain, enough is enough, those old things, don't mention them again!"
”"Hahahaha."
Red Tank laughed heartily, and his arrogant gesture looked like a guy who did all kinds of evil, and he said to the professor, "You're scared...
Hahaha, you're afraid that what you've done in the past will be known by other people, by your students who see you as a leader.You're afraid they'll know that you've buried me in the ruins of the battlefield with the bitch Raven, you're afraid they'll know about the evil things you've done in the past, you coward!
”"Huh" At the moment when the red tank's shouting and scolding fell, a black shadow appeared strangely on the battlefield, and Merlin in the sky couldn't help but rub his forehead.Things are getting worse and worse.Beside the professor, little Raven was hovering in mid-air, her indifferent face was full of disgust, she stared at the red tank in front of her, she asked, "You just said...
Who is the bitch?
