Chapter 164 Apocalypse's "Utopia"
"Mummia! You know, Laura is so good. If you don't believe me, go back and ask Teacher 'Silver Fox'!"
On the western wilderness of Texas, outside the innermost mirrored space dividing the battlefield, the mages set up a relatively simplified illusion barrier, which cuts off the sight of ordinary people and planes that may pass through the sky.
Seven days and nights have passed, and Emma Howlett had just talked with the college on the phone, and she worriedly told her daughter Laura a few words. She looked back at the mirror world. If the battle inside hadn’t been blocked by such a magical mirror space , I am afraid that a city has been burned to the ground
"Done!"
The little wolf girl hung up the satellite phone, immediately changed her cute and sweet face, put her arms around her nephew Kurt with a smirk, and said to the friends around her:
"Hee hee, mom's checkup is over! I'll give you a chance to come up with ideas and see where to play. Grammar class is so boring, even more boring than arithmetic!"
Laura was wearing a denim jacket and black ankle boots. In addition to her roommate Qin Gray and her nephew "Little Blue Devil" Kurt Howlett, she also got Kurt's roommate Warren Worthington and a Chinese kid The girl is Jubilee Lexin Li, also called Li Qianhuan.
The little guys, all six or seven years old, are the youngest students in the Chaoying Academy. Under the leadership of Laura, they have become the most unprofessional gang in the entire academy. The wolf girl was completely let go.
"It's not good not to go to class, Laura, you have failed your arithmetic, and if you don't do grammar"
Qin sits obediently on the edge of the bed and dangles her calves. Apart from the ups and downs of controlling her own abilities, Qin Gray has always been very obedient and sensible in the academy, and she has covered up a lot of trouble for Laura on weekdays.
"Ahem. Qin's proposal is rejected! I want to remind you, Qin, if you didn't refuse to use your ability to help me pass the cheat sheet, I would definitely pass the arithmetic class! Warren, tell me."
Warren Worthington, who is wearing an off-white knitted sweater, has short blond hair, and a fair-skinned fleshy grandma, puffed out his chest, shook the little wings on his back, and said the opening remarks of a typical rich man:
“My dad has a ranch in Kentucky! There are cows, horses, and sheepdogs.”
"Stop, stop, Kurt and I grew up on the ranch, that is, you stay in New York City every day and rarely ride horses and herd cows. When you come back, I will take you to my old house. There is a whole valley there. Where's the ranch!"
Warren's upturned white wings drooped desolately, while his roommate Kurt plucked his feathers secretly. The two were divided into a dormitory, and they were called the "angel and devil" duo by the students in the college.
When Warren first woke up, he was really excited for a few days. The children who were playing with him immediately ignored him, but after entering the Extraordinary Academy, especially after being transferred to the "Superhero Academy" under the operation of his father, The young master's pride was gone.
The Worthington family is a veteran wealthy aristocrat in New York. The little guy's surname should be followed by "the third", Warren Worthington III.
Two years ago, a white stubble gradually protruded from the shoulder bones of little Warren's back. As it continued to grow, snow-white feathers emerged, forming a pair of small wings.
Mr. Worthington, who originally resisted the propaganda of the evolutionary mutation of all human beings, saw that his only son had really become a mutant, and his position and thinking changed quickly. He immediately arranged for his son to enter the best extraordinary academy.
But the small feather wings on Warren’s back are not very useful except for being extremely beautiful and cute. The wings that are less than half a meter long can only barely fly a few dozen centimeters in the air when they beat desperately. No other abilities and characteristics have been discovered for the time being.
At that time, the Howlett Super Elite Evolution Academy was established, bringing together the selection of outstanding young mutants from all the extraordinary academies in the United States.
Mr. Worthington was unwilling to be left behind, afraid of missing out on the only "Ivy League" college in this Extraordinary Academy of the New Era of Humanity. After spending a lot of effort on his son's ability not being selected, he finally sent him in.
After all, Worthington Industries is currently a Fortune 500 company, and has always had business dealings with the Howlett Group. Moreover, Warren Jr. is one of the few mutants capable of flying, and the potential that can be tapped is unknown.
Another mutant with wings on record is the former "X-Men" angel, Miss Salvador. It is said that she now has a restaurant in New Mexico, and the business is booming.
Li Qianhuan, a little girl with black hair and black eyes, timidly raised her hand as if answering a question, and whispered softly:
"If you can go out to play at night, I can set off 'fireworks' for everyone to see, I will put a lot of colors."
Laura's eyes lit up when she heard it, and even the piano beside her was a little moved. The little wolf girl slapped her hands with a smile and encouraged her:
"Okay! Qian Huan, that's a good proposal. We'll arrange it like this for tonight, but what about now?"
"—Laura!"
A gentle female voice sounded outside the dormitory door. The principal "Silver Fox" of New York's Extraordinary Academy knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open and entered.
On the days when the teacher "White Queen" was out on important matters, Silver Fox Keira temporarily took over the daily affairs of the "Super English Academy" and part of Emma's teaching work, but this eldest lady of the Howlett family really made the generation Ms. Principal has a terrible headache.
“.Laura, and you guys, why don’t you go to class?”
Keira folded her arms with a helpless expression on her face, the little wolf girl jumped off the bed, took her hand and said:
"Oh, Teacher Keira's grammar class is full of super naive children's stories, and then it's just reading words and memorizing sentences, so please let me go! Hee hee, don't tell my mother!"
"Silver Fox" had her hands on her hips, her naturally gentle and kind-hearted appearance could not produce much majesty even if she pretended to be angry. She thought for a while and continued:
"Today's class is a mutant history knowledge expansion class shared with the seniors. It will talk about the mysterious mutant "monk" Rasputin in Russia more than half a century ago!"
"Huh? A mutant from more than half a century ago! Not bad, have you ever fought with my dad?"
Laura immediately became interested when she heard it. Her favorite stories in the past were the powerful mutants or magical events that appeared all over the world.
I also made a list of the so-called strongest mutants with my friends, threatening that in the future, I would fight them one by one.
Several little guys followed Keira to the classroom, tilting their heads to listen to her talk about this bizarre incident that has not been re-researched and judged until recent years.
"Yes, yes! At that time, my grandfather and my father were already invincible in any African continent. I never heard them mention this Russian!"
"Silver Fox" Keira held Warren and Jean's little hands, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she heard the little Blue Devil Kurt flickering around her side. The "Royal Family".
She cleared her throat, and said slowly as if telling a story:
"Ahem, at the end of the tsarist Russia from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century, there was a famous vassal - 'Monk' Gregory Rasputin. It is said that he is very good at hypnotism, and even divination and prophecy, ability to treat disease"
"...After Rasputin predicted the drought and rescued the dying pet dog of a noble grand duke, his fame spread to the Russian imperial palace. At that time, the queen's young son had a strange disease, and no one or means It has no effect until the 'Monk' is invited."
Caliban didn’t know when, he put on a pair of indigo full-body armor that was somewhat similar to the armor of Apocalypse.
Ancient Egyptian-style battle skirt and shoulder armor, wearing a blue worm-shaped helmet that symbolizes the plague, except for the exposed marble-like arm muscles, other parts are tightly covered.
Apocalypse traveled on the vast plains of Siberia’s permafrost, set foot in a sinister natural environment, with traces of huge iron boots branded on the ice cap, and his burly figure pushed through the blunt knife-like wind and snow with strides.
A village can be vaguely seen ahead. In the howling snow, the dilapidated wooden and stone houses of the village look very desolate, as if abandoned by the modern civilized world.
Caliban was one position behind the master Tianqi, and the blizzard formed a strange vacuum around it, as if bypassing Tianqi.
With the second mutation of the mutant gene after being promoted by the apocalypse, Caliban's "X-factor detection" ability has also been greatly amplified, and even a medium-sized city can clearly perceive the existence of mutants.
And this feeling is different from Professor Charles' brainwave recognition.
While continuing to introduce the story about the Rasputin family, he guided the master to the direction of the target.
".The strange thing is that Rasputin, who is called the 'Monk', not only healed the youngest son of the Tsar. As soon as Spouting is back at the palace, the prince will feel better."
"The power of mind and spirit. Unleash disease, hehe. What else, go on."
Tianqi listened to a few casual comments, and asked Caliban to continue talking with great interest.
"Yes, master. Later, the 'demon monk' performed magical abilities many times and won the incomparable trust of the emperor of that country, but he gradually became crazy and conceited, causing troubles in the palace and noble women's families, meddling in Russian political affairs, and finally in the minister's office. Under their design, they first ate food infused with poison and came out unscathed."
"...was shot three times by another nobleman, one of which hit the forehead. However, Rasputin woke up again a few minutes later, and was finally surrounded by many soldiers and thrown into the river. After struggling for nearly ten minutes, he finally recovered. Drowning in the end."
woo woo woo.
The cold wind on the tundra whimpered and howled, and patches of white hair and wind and frost blew across the dark ground.
The two stopped and came to a crooked stone house. Tian Qi already felt that there was more than one mutant with good talents in the house.
His blue-gray eyes looked at this dead and desolate land, Gu Jing Wubo's cold face trembled, and he sneered twice:
"Stupid and pathetic, showing off before the false king of mortal slaves, taking pride in vain pleasures, and dying of your own weakness. My 'plague' knight, are you satisfied with living in such a weak mortal world?"
Caliban was stunned for a moment, and his tower-like figure in heavy armor slowly bowed down and said:
"Master, the life of mutants is very good now, and even many ordinary humans want to-"
"Ridiculous!"
Apocalypse's low, thunderous voice overwhelmed the whistling wind and snow, and angrily said:
"Satisfied with a little bit of favor from mortals! We are born with great power, born to be rulers! Except for my people, mortals are like slaves!"
". Mortals are pigs and dogs!"
