Chapter 200
Depression spread like a plague among these scattered young people in the streets and alleys, and finally some people could not bear this atmosphere that could swallow people.
They gave each other a few winks, walked out of the shadow together, surrounded them, and compressed the surrounding circle with the old man at the center.
Psychologically vulnerable people sometimes act bordering on madness in the face of excessive pressure, and this is clearly the behavior of these young people.Their attitude towards this old man was too cautious, the encirclement was shrinking extremely slowly, and looking carefully, these people who were about to commit violence were all showing reluctance. Their bodies were moving forward, but their eyes were retreating. Having a pistol to the back of their heads forced them to do this.
The old man is still walking forward as if no one else was there, with a straight figure, and every step he takes shows that he is a determined and vigorous person. The closer you get to him, the harder it is to believe that he is old, but the closer you get to him, the more you feel I can feel his oldness——
It is absolutely impossible for this kind of person to be blocked by a group of scum. He will kill all disrespectful people, just like the dictators of the old days to maintain their supreme dignity.
But now he actually stopped because of this group of useless garbage.
Although it was only for a moment, he gave in after all.
"Huh." He let out a cold snort of disdain from his nasal cavity, raised his head in all impatience and helplessness, stared at the group of passersby with his cold eyes, and then lightly waved the hand hanging by his side. open gesture.
A force that was not strong but irresistible swept away the young people standing in front of the old man. They flew aside like a piece of catkins, a speck of dust, or a piece of paper, and hit the wall, screaming " With a muffled bang, it slowly slid down the wall.
"Become... a mutant!"
This scene was seen by everyone. Some of the gangsters who stayed in the remote place and did not come forward exclaimed. Unable to check what happened to the companions who were stuck on the wall, they hurriedly supported each other and ran away.
The old man ignored them.
He played the most important role in the whole incident, but he showed an attitude of staying out of it from the beginning to the end. He didn't care about these people when they were spying on him secretly. He reacted a little when stopped, but it was no more than brushing them aside like dust.
Compared with his youth, this style of behavior is like heaven and earth. Even ten years ago, if these idiots fell into his hands, they would only have a dead end.
"Mr. Lanshere," a helpless voice sounded behind him, accompanied by a slight panting sound after running quickly, "Actually, there is no need for you to show up in such a big way. We can schedule our meeting to Push back, choose a safer and more secluded place to meet..."
"There is no 'safe and hidden' place on this planet for a long time, Rao." Magneto said coldly, raised his eyes to look at Rao, paused for a moment on Rao's confident and hopeful face, and then spoke At that time, the tone of voice was difficult to distinguish, "It seems that he takes good care of you."
Rao laughed: "Are you talking about the boss? The boss doesn't take care of people very much. Although I think he likes to take care of others, but he doesn't do it often. He gives people hope, gives people opportunities, and then asks others to take care of themselves .”
"I don't like him, but I have to admit that he has good means." Magneto said, "His authority is completely based on personal charm, which is not advisable."
"I think the same is true of you and Principal Xavier." Rao responded politely but with a hint of needles, "Please come with me, Mr. Lanshere, this is not a good place to talk."
He turned and walked away. When he passed by those gangsters who were still unconscious after being pasted by the wall, Rao raised his hand and gave them a beam of soft light invisible to the naked eye to soothe the situation.
"The kindness of a woman." Magneto commented, "They can't die."
"The reputation of mutants has just improved a little recently, Mr. Lanshere, this is just a strategic tactic."
Rao led Magneto into a residential building with a very ordinary appearance, and finally stopped in front of a room, and made a gesture of invitation to Magneto: "From a personal point of view, of course I don't think their lives are safe. How important it is. These people are not evil, but they have done bad things. The robberies, extortion, and rapes in Queens are likely to fall on them. They deserve to die-but they can't die In the hands of the mutants, Mr. Landseer, that's my opinion."
"You're not like me, and you're not like Charles and Carl," said Magneto.
He walked into the room, and behind him, Rao's smile was so calm and impeccable: "I was educated by the three of you at different times. I am like each of you, Mr. Lanshere, but only in part. I Not any of you, I'm just me."
Washington, D.C., Project Cadmus Laboratory Headquarters.
The video from the meeting between Magneto and Rao was played repeatedly on the big screen until the two left together. Lex stood in front of the screen and stared at this clip.
The whole laboratory is very large and lively. Human guards in uniforms are standing on duty. Busy experimenters are walking around with translucent tablets, arguing fiercely with their colleagues through headsets, sophisticated experimental equipment Needing someone to watch and manipulate at all times, huge beasts walk around among the brilliant achievements of modern civilization, setting off this place as a wild and primitive jungle.
Boredom and hatred grew wildly in Lex's heart. He stared blankly at Rao's smiling face and Magneto's seemingly indifferent expression, trying to figure out and speculate thousands of times why they met in his heart.
Does Superman know about this?
What role did Carl play in it?
Events become especially complicated when mutants are involved, let alone Superman and mutants are so closely connected.
The degree of chaos within the US empire is comparable to the chaos of the appearance of deep-sea creatures. No matter how high the IQ is, it is impossible to sort out the logical relationship, because that kind of chaos is beyond logic. In many cases, there is no death between the two big forces. The relentless hostility began inexplicably and ended in a bizarre way, as if the leaders on both sides had initially conceived and then lost interest after a great deal of resources and time had been spent.
Lex had studied those strange antagonisms and chaotic wars, and if he hadn't been able to find a shred of evidence, he would have believed that some strange force had affected the minds of these groups, even in the absence of evidence, there is a theory The intuition of the unknown reason made him believe that there must be some mystery in the truth of the incident.
He is not very interested in those hidden mysteries.
It's not that Lex doesn't care about it, but because he has found a goal worth fighting for all his life many years ago.
—Kill Superman.
Everything other than this has to be postponed, and any other ideals are inferior to this goal. It seems to be his destiny to hate Superman and fight against Superman.
Lex hated this very deeply, and was extremely obsessed with it.
The sound of high-heeled boots stepping on the floor gradually approached from behind him, and that frequency was familiar to him.He didn't look back, just waited for the owner of the footsteps to keep approaching, and finally stopped at a position not too far away from him.
"Boss." Mercy said, "The results of the No. [-] laboratory have come out, and all the information about the alien creature you...raised is already here. The researchers are very interested in the samples you provided and would like to ask Do you have any more materials that you can provide them to continue their research."
"What happened?" Lex asked.
"The final conclusion is almost the same as yours. Apart from strong survivability and mimicry, the experimental body has other special features. The researchers believe that the cell structure is very special, surpassing all the structures we can analyze now. From this perspective, the existence of experimental subjects is also a great progress in the history of science..."
"A group of mediocre people." Lex said coldly, "Tell them that the Lex Group will not provide other samples."
"Understood, boss." Moxi said quickly, turning over the items displayed on the tablet in his hand, "And you are concerned about the mutant experiment in the Cadmus project, the relevant person in charge said 'X The "weapon" project has been suspended for more than ten years. Several doctors involved in this matter are all dead or missing. The commander-in-chief, Ms. Waller, has no special feelings for mutants. From the current point of view, the "weapon X" project has at least ten years Will not reboot."
"Finally some good news, Mercy." Lex replayed the video on the screen, this time he zoomed in on Magneto's every move, trying to infer the other's mood from the other's rare expressions and movements, "Variant People are not too much of a hindrance to our cause, and I've always found them to be very useful tools—in every way."
The video was placed at the position where Magneto turned to look at Rao. After zooming in countless times, the fleeting smile on Magneto's face became extremely clear.
Lex quietly observed Magneto's micro-expressions during the conversation, and finally pressed the pause button.
"Look at him." Lex murmured, "Magneto, mutant ability is manipulating magnetic fields, what a powerful force. Superman always pretends to be gentle and harmless, but anyone with a little brain knows that there is a difference between him and ordinary people. How much difference is there between them, anyone would feel fear in front of a mutant of Magneto's level, this fear is not affected by the will at all, and I bet Superman is not even aware of Magneto's momentum."
"Ordinary people are probably like kittens in his eyes. Magneto? A bigger kitten. Funny, at this point, Superman still naively thinks that he can look at things from a human perspective."
