"Piot, you're up so early."
In the town hall of the small town of Utopia, Merlin meets Colossus Piot, who is helping out there.He smiled and greeted the young man.This young man, with his athletic body and his muscles full of philosophy, was one of Professor Charles's most brilliant students, and he was a very patient man, perhaps because of this, so he also had a job of his own in Utopia City.He is responsible for reviewing requests from mutants around the world to enter Utopia, and then screening out those who meet the criteria before sending out invitations.It was a lot of work, but seeing Piot busy in the town hall early in the morning, it was clear that he had some fun.And when he saw Merlin, who was wearing a cane and a trench coat, walked into the city hall, Colossus greeted him in a friendly manner and asked, "How are you doing?"
Mr.
Merlin. ”"Well, it's bad."
Merlin shook his head, and he whispered, "Trouble, trouble, trouble everywhere, trouble that can never be dealt with...
And I'm in trouble right now, and I have to come to you for help. ”Merlin's face was gentle, and he asked softly, "Is the professor here?"
”"Yes."
Piot pointed to the top of his head, and he said, "The professor woke up early today, and he is in his office on the third floor.In recent days, he has been meeting with representatives of mutants in various regions to discuss with them the establishment of a 'mutant mutual aid society'. ”"He's really busy."
Merlin said, "Then I won't bother you, Piot, go on working, I'll go talk to the professor." ”With Piot's friendly goodbye, Merlin enters the elevator, and the moment the elevator doors close, Icarus gives a warning on the lens in front of Merlin's eyes."
The suspected Magtron vehicle is flying in this direction at Mach 30 and may reach Utopia City in seven minutes.""
Seven minutes?"
Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses, and he said, "Enough." ”"Ding."
The elevator reached the third floor at this moment, and the silver elevator doors slid open to both sides.Merlin strolled out of the elevator with "Dracula's Grave" on his lean, and in the early hours of the morning, the city hall was not yet open for work, so there weren't too many people moving around in the postmodern office building.Merlin walked to Professor Charles' office, and on the way he saw Summers with a laser eye with red goggles, he didn't know the guy well, but the two of them nodded their greetings with a calm and polite nod.It is said that Summers is Professor Charles's most trusted student, and the second leader of the X-Men, and in the Xavier House system, he is even more trusted than Jean and Auroro.Beautiful piano, or Summers's girlfriend.However, Merlin heard Lorna, a little girl who loves to gossip, say that the last time Wolverine Logan was on loan from Xavier's Talent Academy, he had some intimate contact with Jean, which made Summers very dissatisfied.Lorna says she heard Jean and Summers arguing, but Raven says it was just Lorna's hallucination.Well, Raven doesn't like Laser-Eyed Summers very much, she doesn't think this seemingly mature man is reliable...
Raven said that this guy was suppressing his feelings, and one day, this suppressed feelings would erupt and burn everything he cared about like a wild fire.But it has nothing to do with Merlin, at least for now."
Bang, bang" Merlin reached out and knocked on the door of Professor Charles's office, and a moment later, the professor's trademark gentle voice rang out in the door: "Come in." ”Merlin took a deep breath, pushed open the door, walked into the modest office, and reached for it to close the door.With his cane, he walked up to the professor, who was working with his head, and sat down in the chair in front of the professor.Merlin looked at the bald Professor Charles in front of him, and an indescribable sense of absurdity rose in his heart, the old man in front of him was almost the best temper, the best character, and the person who best met the definition of "good person" of all the people he had ever met.But beneath the appearance of this good man, hidden is a soul that is walking into darkness, a soul struggling in the mud of pain."
Professor," Merlin said, holding "Dracula's Grave" in both hands, and said in an undulating tone, "I've been to see Magnit. ”"Huh?"
The professor's action of writing and drawing on the paper on the desktop stopped at this moment, and he asked in that gentle voice, "So what?"
”"So—" Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, "let it out...
I'm going to talk to it. ”"Oh."
The professor looked up, still with that gentle smile on his face, and he looked at Merlin like a kind old man looking at a young friend, and he asked softly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
”“？？？”
Hearing this, Merlin's expression changed slightly.He thought that the mild one in front of him was Professor Charles, but now it seemed that it was not..."
You've got the upper hand."
Merlin said, "It seems that even if we are vigilant, we still underestimate you. ”"No, don't say that."
Professor Charles moved his shoulders, he stretched out his hand to support the armrest of the wheelchair, and then stood up in front of Merlin, and walked to the window in a normal attitude, he looked at the sun-drenched earth below, and said: "Charles and I are one, and the differences between us are not as great as you and Magnit think." ”"Merlin, look at the city in front of me, it's everything I've done for Charles, he's seen it all...
You may not know it, but he is no longer resisting, because he sees that I am doing what he thinks is right. ”The professor looked back, his face still with that gentle and charitable smile, but the smile in Merlin's eyes was somewhat terrifying."
You seem to be in a hurry," Professor Charles, no, Storming whispered, "then let the time be a little more." ”He stretched out his hand, and on his wrist, there was a red armband, and he snapped his fingers lightly, and the world in front of Merlin suddenly slowed down, and the time that had been moving forward rhythmically seemed to be stuck in a swamp of mud, of course, it was not the whole world that was slowed down, but the time in this office.This is supposed to be a mutant ability that Berserk absorbs that slows down time."
Tell me why you're here."
Storming stood by the window, the sun shining on him, and there was not the slightest haze.Magnit was right, the onslaught was growing too fast, and the feeling he gave Merlin even gave Merlin a hint of what it would like to face the hairless Supreme Mage Big Sister.Of course, there is only a hint of similarity.That beautiful sister made Merlin feel like an ant, and he couldn't raise any thoughts of resistance in his heart, but in the face of the onslaught, Merlin still had the power to fight back, and he was not invincible."
I'm here for your help."
Merlin didn't hide it, and in front of someone like Storm, who could see through the heart, concealing it didn't make any sense other than to provoke him."
You already know that a bunch of ill-intentioned Cybertrons are making waves on the North African side, and the most dangerous of them might be here in a few minutes," he said. ”Merlin took the fire from his pocket and placed it on the table, and he said to Onslaught, "I was going to ask Eric for help, he is theoretically the natural enemy of all mechanical life.But the timing of my visit was unfortunate, and your ability was taken away from me, so I had to come here. ”"Well, there's nothing wrong with logic."
The frenzy hooked his fingers, and the source of fire fell into his hands like an invisible hand.He played with the tinder and said to Merlin, "But I wonder what reason you are going to use to persuade me to join in this trouble...""
I'll tell you in advance that you have some misconceptions about Magnit's abilities, and there's a limit to what he can do to manipulate magnetic fields, Merlin.If it's Magtron, all I can tell you is that I can't destroy it. ”"Your understanding of the balance of things is too shallow, and it may seem natural for a cat to eat a mouse, but when the mouse is too big and the cat is too thin, the cat will also become food for the mouse."
The onslaught also seemed to be calm, without much concealment, and he said to Merlin: "The fact that the Cybertrons have survived until now means that they must have a way to combat the magnetic field, otherwise they would have withered in the stars."
You must know that in this group of stars full of endless secrets, Magnit is definitely not the only one who can control the magnetic field. ”Storming stepped forward and sat back in his wheelchair, his hands staggered on his abdomen, the fire hovering beside him, and he said to Merlin, "Start your persuasion, Merlin. ”"I'm looking forward to you convincing me...
Oh yes.Don't threaten me with the lives of the mutants on this island, even if they all die, I can save them...
And, if you do that, Charles will be disappointed, and I—" Storm's face finally showed a hideous smile that didn't belong to Professor Charles, and he whispered, "I'm going to be angry." ”"No, I wouldn't do that."
Merlin took out a cigarette and sniffed it under his nostrils, he said, "I invite you to help me, in exchange, I will help you hide your identity, I will assist you in advancing the process of the 'Mutant Mutual Aid Society', and I can assure you that as long as I am in that position, at least on the North American continent, there will never be a large-scale attack on mutants again." ”"Charles will be pleased."
Storming waited for Merlin to finish, and he said in a relaxed tone, "He has one more friend who knows his thoughts."
But you see, these conditions are for me, um...
Not too rich, you know what I mean?
”Berserk yawned a little boredly, and he said, "A little more." ”"How much I can give depends on how much you want."
Merlin wasn't too nervous, he played with the cigarette in his hand, and he said, "You have to tell me first, what do you want?"
”"I'm going to—" Storming held out a finger and shook it in front of Merlin's eyes, and he said, "Freedom!"

”"Ah, as I expected."
Merlin rubbed his forehead with a little headache, and said, "You really chose the most difficult one...
Didn't you say that you and Charles got along very well?
”"Yes, I became friends with him.""
But no matter how close a friend is, there are things that cannot be shared.We share a body, we share a soul, it's not really a big problem, but you know, Merlin, for a living being, to have an independent consciousness and body, is the most direct and simple proof of one's existence. ”"I want to prove my existence."
He said a little gloomily, "I don't want to be my friend Charles.
Francis.
Xavier's shadow exists in this world, and I don't want to be called Charles!
Or being called a mad attack, I also want to have my own name...
I want to live my life, I have that desire too, I want to be an independent...
A life that really existed. ”He looked at Merlin and said, "I only have this one simple request, can you help me?"
”"I'd love to help you.""
But there are so few bodies that can carry a soul like yours, and the connection between you and Charles is too strong, and if you want to be free, that means...
Charles had to die, and another soul, perhaps an innocent person, would die as a result. ”"That's the trouble you need to face, Merlin.People like you should know that if you want to save the world without getting your hands dirty, that's a story that only exists in fairy tales. ”Furious tilted his head and looked at Merlin, he said in a relaxed tone, "First of all, Charles can't die. ”"Second, I want to be free.""
Finally, no one can know about it, including you—" Merlin was silent.He thought for nearly a minute, then asked, "What I want to know is, what do you want to do after you are free?"
”"Oh, Merlin, Merlin!
You're a good agent. ”Storm said in a playful tone: "Until now, are you still worried about the order you serve?
Are you worried that you've made a world-destroying villain with your own hands?
”"No, no, no, no, I wouldn't do that, but what exactly I want to do, I don't know."
He knocked on the table and said to Merlin, "But if you need an answer that will reassure you, then I'll tell you...""
What I want to do after I am free, it has nothing to do with you!"
Furious Attack folded his hands on the table, he looked at Merlin with a smile, and said, "Magtron has 1 minute and 32 seconds to reach Utopia...""
Tell me your answer, Merlin, I need your answer."
Merlin stared at the onslaught, and the onslaught also looked at Merlin, and after a suffocating 15 seconds, Merlin closed his eyes and nodded: "Okay, I promise you!"
”"Very good, within 5 years...
You've got to fulfill that promise. ”Storming stood up from his wheelchair, he looked at Merlin with a slightly critical gaze, then leaned over Merlin slightly, and said, "If you can't do it, then I don't mind replacing it with your body...""
And, I, Ansrat, am at your service..."
