Chapter 134 The least popular ability
"Just a few of you? No one else?"
Looking at the empty circular classroom, Professor Charles Xavier asked the few students who were sitting in the front row in disbelief.
They wore all kinds of strange metal hats on their heads, and some even made Charles suspect that they were modified with a saucepan.
"teach, teach.them"
The only female student who was not dressed strangely seemed to want to say something, but she hesitated to speak for a while, and just gave Charles a look that you "know everything".
After the "X-Men" team successfully rescued the passenger plane that crash-landed in downtown Brooklyn, New York, Charles Xavier, who was already one of the most popular professors in the school, gained unprecedented attention and popularity.
Even more high-profile than Elvis Presley, the brightest star of our time.
But in the past two days, I don't know what kind of wind is blowing.
More and more students are beginning to doubt their privacy and secrets, and have been spied on by Professor Xavier.
Some people said that Professor Charles reported that he was arrested for violating school rules, and some claimed that he failed the genetics department because he once slandered Mr. Xavier in his mind and was held grudge by him.
What is even more exaggerated is that some students even blamed the breakdown of their relationship with their girlfriends on the professor's instilling his cheating behavior in his girlfriend's mind, and said that he had never done such a thing.
Soon, the genetics class that used to be crowded with students in the aisle outside the door suddenly became empty.
These students would rather not get the grades for this course than to enter Charles' classroom again. The few dozen students who are still willing to come are all bold and jumping people.
They are more of a game mentality, trying to see if the "shielding helmet" designed by themselves can block Professor Charles' mind reading, and they keep winking in class, thinking about offensive things, just waiting for the professor to sense it.
Being excluded and isolated by the group they belong to is the most painful thing for most people. The extreme loneliness among the crowd in the downtown is one of the deepest fears in human nature.
Charles cheered up and finished the genetic evolution class. He left the classroom before these students, and he was no longer willing to communicate with them and chat with them.
Of course, there are no such students anymore.
He still has to go to the teacher's lounge to stuff a couple of sandwiches, and in the afternoon he has to go back to the brainwave room of the Mutant Power Institute to do more important things.
"Oh! Ze, Professor Xavier, hehe. I still have something to do. It's the student or my wife, you know, let's go first, go first"
The tuna fish sandwich that Charles had just picked up fell on the plate. After seeing him, a biology professor who was close to him panicked and made excuses, and ran away without expressing his meaning.
Looking at the warm sandwich, Charles felt that his stomach was indeed very hungry, his stomach pouch wriggled and twitched, but there was no desire to eat at all in his mouth.
His surroundings gradually became quieter, and the teachers who were eating, playing chess and chatting in the leisure room all stayed away or walked away at the same time.
"I still recommend eating tuna while it's hot. It will be a bit fishy when it's cold."
Eric Lanshere patted Charles on the shoulder, and picked out a mango and blueberry to eat,
He never eats food from the school cafeteria. The manor's cupboard prepares dishes for him in advance in different ways that can only be found in various star-rated restaurants.
Eric leaned lightly on the self-serve dining table, threw a few blueberries into his mouth, and chewed.
Charles smiled reluctantly, looked at the cheerful and unrestrained Eric Lanshere, and felt a strange envy from nowhere in his heart.
"To be honest, if we must choose a 'least popular' mutant ability, then telepathy should have the most hope of winning."
Eric smirked and elbowed Charles. It would be incredible if people didn't mind Charles' strength and treated him as usual.
"You can consider selling that kind of helmet in the school. It will definitely make a lot of money."
Charles finally spoke, his spirit seemed to have improved, and he had regained some of his former spirit.
"Hey! My dad will break my legs! That kind of helmet is not easy to make, and the composition ratio and casting process that are really effective require very high requirements."
Eric ate the last piece of mango, took the napkin and wiped his hands, and said:
"The trouble has just begun, Charles, is there anything I can help you with? Dad actually doesn't have a bad impression of you."
Charles Xavier suddenly remembered that there was a piece of information that should be told to Eric, but he thought about it and suppressed the idea again, thinking:
"There is one thing I haven't finished. After I solve it, I will talk to Mr. Howlett."
Today is the only time he finds time to leave the institute. Charles Xavier’s classroom has been in the brain wave room for many days since President Kennedy was assassinated.
Greenland, wolf nest base.
The core hall of the underground base is built like a palace of the Olympian gods, simple and magnificent, full of symbols of power.
James Howlett did not sit on the high-backed "throne" made of vibrating gold, but stood aside and watched the crowd busy preparing.
Peggy Rogers finally decided to accept the evolutionary modification of the "Styx" serum today, although Steve told her many times that after the evolution is successful, the physical appearance will be restored to a relatively young age due to the self-healing ability obtained,
But Miss Peggy still wanted to go as early as possible, and would rather take some risks than practice for a few more years to try to break through the threshold of the killing technique before injecting.
Dr. Erskine understood that Miss Peggy, who rescued herself from the Hydra fortress during World War II and worked and fought with her for many years, finally chose this step.
Dr. is more than seventy years old, and he is still in charge of Peggy's evolution ceremony in person today. Compared with the worries of Steve, Bucky and others, he has extra firm confidence in Peggy.
"Okay, Peggy, remember, as long as you stay conscious, nothing will happen."
Dr. Erskine narrowed his eyes kindly, and smiled at Peggy who just lay down. He is now full of silver-white hair and beard, with a thin body, only his eyes are still so bright and gentle.
um.
The egg-shaped evolution cabin built by Zhenjin finally started to supply energy. After a few minutes, the vibration gradually stopped. James had already felt Peggy's exuberant breath of life. Step aside and talk:
"Are you really going to stop thinking about it?"
The old doctor looked at Mr. Howlett, who had always looked like a youth, smiled heartily, shook his head and said:
"Maybe I'm not a person who purely pursues the path of science. Unlike Zola, he is now thinking about how to preserve his brain so that he can continue to do research 'forever', but for me, this world lacks nostalgia things, just let things take their course.”
Dr. Erskine’s relatives were all captured and detained by the Red Skull during World War II, and eventually died in concentration camps. This doctor who is full of warmth towards the world prefers to live warmer than the cold road of truth.
If it wasn’t for the friendship between Steve, Peggy, and Bucky in Howlett’s old house these years, and being accompanied by his valued juniors, perhaps the old doctor would have left this world long ago.
"gentlemen."
Erskine took off his glasses, wiped them habitually and put them on again, then smiled and said with emotion:
"I don't have the courage to continue walking like you. No one knows what the future will be like. 'When the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up'. Although you are not pedantic, and you don't have the world in mind, it cannot be denied that you It's the 'tall' guy."
James exhaled and patted the doctor on the shoulder, as if the elders were comforting the younger generation, but the excessive difference in appearance between the two seemed a bit inconsistent.
Peggy has already put on a blanket, covering her body in shorts and wrapping her chest. She is much taller and her shoulders have become wider. She has no fat on her body, and she is as strong as a female leopard.
Seeing that his wife was going well, Steve took out the "Styx" supplement and put it on himself. The husband and wife both completed the final evolutionary transformation.
Miss Peggy took out a gift from Mr. Howlett when she and Steve were newly married, a pair of special pistols made by Secondary Edman. , just right now.
"how do you feel."
James returned to the transformation test hall, talking to Peggy relaxedly.
"It's great! The power of the killing technique has changed very differently. It turns out that this is why Steve's combat power in those days far surpassed the current "super soldier" in the United States."
"Yes, in essence, this kind of power is supported by the strength of vitality. Even ordinary people, if they can practice to the third stage or even the second level, can have extraordinary power, let alone undergo serum transformation, breakthrough The physical basis of the limits of the human body."
Peggy has also touched the threshold of the first level and third stage of the killing technique in recent years. This standard is also the lowest line for injecting "Styx".
Through serum transformation, she, like Bucky, also broke through to the limit of this level, but so far, only the first apprentice, Steve Rogers, has reached the second level by relying on his own practice.
"Is the list finalized?"
James finally asked, as Miss Peggy, who is in charge of the intelligence work of the Howlett family, the importance of her daily work is much more important than that of Steve and Bucky who only have "wolf cubs" now.
"It has been confirmed, especially after the incident of Professor Xavier, the voices of support and opposition have become more and more clear. The position of the upper echelons of American rights is clear. Have you decided the time to act?"
"The assassination of the president is extremely unusual. When I originally received the news, I planned to act immediately, but I found that the prey they really wanted to capture was someone else. Wait a few days, soon."
James smiled. Bucky had suggested to himself a long time ago that he should get rid of Director Hoover who was secretly investigating.
But Edgar Hoover seems to be one person, but in fact, he is basically connected with a large group of conservative politicians with Cold War thinking created by this era.
What he wants is to dig out all these people.
