Chapter 132 Quiet the Drums and Calm the Waves

On the top floor of the church in the lakeside town, only Charles was left. Zhou Yi didn't stay here to continue arguing with him, he left here early with the unconscious Qin Grey. Of course, before he left, he contacted the college's newsletter and told them where Charles was.

The mutants suffered heavy losses because of Professor Charles. If there is no news from Charles, I am afraid that these mentally abnormal guys will do a lot of dangerous things. Especially with the president's imminent decree.

Fortunately, Charles was finally saved. This is something to be happy about, both for humans and mutants. Because the presence of this person is enough to undo a war that is about to break out. No one would doubt Charles' persuasive power, not even Zhou Yi. As long as he is there, the president will not sign orders on that bill.

When Charles was still thinking about what Zhou Yi had said to him before, the sound of a group of people running came from the stairs. Perceiving the familiar mental fluctuations, Charles smiled and looked towards the exit of the stairs.

Soon, two familiar figures appeared in front of him. The old friend he is most familiar with, the old assistant Hank, and the unruly but sincere Logan.

As soon as these two people saw Professor Charles, they all jumped up. Hank hugged this old friend tightly, and for him there was nothing more gratifying than seeing this old friend safe. And even the reckless Logan just barely suppressed the excitement in his heart. He couldn't hug Charles like Hank, but that didn't stop him from growing in joy.

Charles treated others in the most kind way in his life, and naturally he was also treated with the kindest kindness by all his compatriots. He didn't do anything wrong in the way of being a man, but in terms of being a leader, it wasn't enough.

"Old man, how did you come out safely. God, we all thought you had..." Hank hugged Charles, and the hideous beast face was full of surprises and happiness. He didn't say the rest, but Charles understood what he meant.

They planned for the worst, but luckily it didn't come true.

"Thanks to our friend, we are lucky to have his help!" Charles did not say who, but they all understood that he was talking about the knight of dawn. Only he has the ability to rescue him under such circumstances.

As one of the insiders who entered the final battlefield, Logan naturally knew how dangerous the situation was. So much so that he still has lingering fears. So when he heard Charles' answer, he quickly asked.

"Professor, where's that guy, and Qin? Why aren't the two of them here?"

"Mr. Zhou Yi seems to have something to do, he has already gone back early." The smile on Charles' face remained unchanged, but he had to start weaving lies. "As for Jyn, sorry. She seems to have left alone, and she refused my telepathy."

As a pastor and spiritual master, he naturally understands Logan and Scott's feelings for Jean. But at this time, this feeling has become a ticking time bomb. He had clearly felt Qin's fiery affection for Zhou Yi, so he also understood that these two people were destined to become losers.

But they don't necessarily have that intuition. Scott, in particular, knew all too well about this proud protégé. Paranoia is his greatest weakness, especially emotional paranoia. When he knew about Jean Grey's current situation, he was likely to do something that Charles didn't want to see.

The mutants are already in danger at this time, and it is impossible to add a terrible character to the list of enemies. Especially when the reason for investigation is still because of a relationship that is doomed to have no results. Therefore, even if Charles was reluctant, he chose to use lies to prevaricate this issue.

Because this is already his best choice.

Logan was keenly aware that there must be a hidden secret, but he wisely did not delve into it. Since there is no problem with their safety, he is relieved. As for the others, he no longer wants anything extravagantly. At this point, Charles really only needs to worry about Scott.

"Logan, the professor needs a rest now. Let's go back and talk about Jean and the others." Hank is unwilling to entangle with Jean Grey, who has awakened the dark phoenix personality. a natural fear.

He could feel the horror of the dark phoenix, and had an extremely ominous premonition for this dark phoenix with terrifying power. This hunch came from her madness and tyranny, as well as from his own inner speculation and fear. Anyway, he didn't want this man to come back.

Charles felt his fear, so he quietly connected to Hank's mind as he pushed him forward.

"You seem uneasy, Hank? Is it because of Jyn?"

"Professor, you should already know. That personality in her heart has awakened. To be honest, that personality disturbs me, she is so powerful, so powerful that she can't control herself. And I can see that, That personality never thought to control it!"

"Could it be that you're too hearty, Hank. She's one of us after all."

"Jin is one of us, yes, but is that personality really with us? I don't feel any affection between her and us."

The professor sighed softly in Hank's heart, and then there were no other words. And Hank didn't continue to say anything. For him, the situation in front of him was already the best. If the terrifying black phoenix is ​​not there, it will naturally not hurt everyone in the academy. As for the rest, he doesn't care.

The mutants began to lick their wounds silently, and for them, it was a huge loss in this war. But again, they have also been rewarded enormously. The most important point is that a large number of mutants who had been captured by Stryker joined Magneto and Charles after they were freed.

For the mighty Magneto, that might be nothing. But for Charles, it was very important. Because of the addition of this group of compatriots, he not only became stronger in strength. It also means that his moderate views are increasingly accepted by his compatriots. Regardless, this is a good start.

On the other hand, Zhou Yi also tried his best to take care of Qin by his side. The mentally traumatized Qin Gelai fell into a coma for a long time, and Zhou Yi didn't even know when she would wake up. Because this is not an ordinary trauma, but the annihilation of the will of the personality. If it weren't for the fact that Jean had two personalities, she would have almost been declared dead.

Even so, her current situation is very critical. Moreover, she was at a loss as to how to treat her Zhou Yi. Spirit is a magical thing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to probe into its depth, let alone treat her. Therefore, what Zhou Yi did was actually just waiting.

He placed Jyn in the life-sustaining capsule of the secret laboratory, relying on the most advanced technology to maintain her health, and at the same time began to spend more time with her. He hoped it would help her wake up, and that was all he could do.

As for the rest, she can only rely on her own efforts.

Times have changed, and the knights of dawn and mutants have died out. But for some, their work is just beginning.

The events of the Lake Erika flooding have not yet spread in the media, and people from S.H.I.E.L.D. have appeared around the lakeside town. They're here to do the finishing touches.

Leading the team is still Agent Coulson, who is Chief Fury's most effective subordinate, so he naturally handles the most difficult issues, just like Stryker's crazy revenge plan this time.

As the largest espionage organization, how could they not understand Stryker's plan. Especially when they also provided information to Zhou Yi, even if he didn't know it, his plans would be completely exposed in front of a bunch of outstanding intelligence analysts.

However, they did not intervene in the event. The reason is simple, they don't like to see mutants either. Stryker's plan was successful, of course, everyone was happy, the mutants were wiped from the world, and the neurotic general was killed by the angry knights of the dawn. If they were quicker, they could also receive Stryker's legacy. This is their best-case scenario.

If the plan fails, they are still the winner. Because not only the knights of dawn, but also the mutants received their benefits, they not only provided information, but even dispatched personnel. Even if the actions of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were not by order. And, in the same way, they can still receive inheritances.

But there is a saying that reality is often unexpected. Stryker's failure was in his expectations, but everything after that was unexpected.

The monstrous flood not only turned everything Stryker left behind into an underwater mystery, it also left them with a huge mess. They had to explain the flood.

Why did the Erika Lake dam suddenly collapse, why there was no warning before, the wonders of the mutants fighting that a few people saw, etc., all information should be blocked and the caliber should be unified.

Security Council orders were never to expose Stryker's research, including his damn base. This became the most frustrating thing for Coulson. Because he had to find a way to fill every hole and tell every lie. To this day, he has met with a lot of Canadian government personnel and a lot of annoying journalists and free speeches. This made him rubbing his brows even now.

To be honest, this kind of work is really hard work, but fortunately, it will be done.

"Sir, we have completed the unification of information with all departments and the media, and now it is fully announced to the public that the Erika Dam collapsed because of the terrorist attacks of the remaining Nazi organizations, and the appearance of the Knights of Dawn is just an accident. I believe It will soon be accepted by the public.”

After drinking a sip of bitter coffee, I mentioned my tired spirit. Coulson took over the relevant report from his subordinates and read it, and asked casually.

"Has the analysis data on the river valley come out, did you get any useful information for that person?"

"Sorry, sir!" A wry smile appeared on his subordinate's face. "The data from that valley is just horrendous, we have very limited information."

"It's just a whimsical idea of ​​some people." Coulson persuaded him, clapping his hands on the shoulders. "Not many people will have hope for this mission, relax. That's the real Superman, if you can restrain yourself by building a few random models. And won't so many people miss Captain America?"

"Uh, sir? Who is Captain America?" The expression of his subordinates looked confused. And Coulson is weird.

"You don't even know Captain America, where did you come from?"

"I've just been transferred from the India branch, sir!"

After a minute of silence, Coulson turned away. He left an order that left his subordinates scratching their heads.

"Give you three days, and give me a firm memory of this person's information. Otherwise, go to the personnel department and ask for a reassignment."

(The cold is getting worse, so I continue to hang water. As for whether there is a second watch today, I can only see if I can handle it. Sorry.)
