Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 392 26. The New Guest of Crow's Nest

"The society of mutants is very chaotic, and it urgently needs a storm of ideas and thinking."

In Professor Charles' office, Merlin talked eloquently to the moderate mutant leader in front of him:

"The two attitudes in thinking, that is, you and Magneto King Eric, the moderate and radical views you represent will tear your social state even more."

"The unity of the race needs to start with the unity of ideology. Now that Magneto has failed, this is an excellent opportunity for the moderates."

Merlin flicked his fingers, without any personal emotion, he said to the professor:

"I'm actually not used to this kind of trickery, but work is work, and you have to finish it no matter how you don't like it."

"While SDOLD is coming forward to fight against the extremist mutant forces, I hope that you, as the leader of the moderate faction, can stand up and expand your influence in the mutant society with official support."

"You're pushing Charles to the fore!"

Mystique Riven said very dissatisfied:

"He'll be targeted by those lunatics...he'll be called a traitor, he'll be cast aside."

"Your Excellency Ruiwen! Don't be so childish!"

Merlin's voice became a little deeper, and he said:

"If you want to really accomplish something, how can there be no risk? If the professor doesn't come forward to lead the leaderless mutants and combine you into a whole, who is qualified to come forward? You? You can actually, you The neutral thinking represented is very tempting to those hesitant mutants, and you also have enough popularity and popularity."

Merlin looked at Ruiwen, he said:

"But the question is, will you cooperate with us? Are you willing to risk everything for the future of your race?"

Raven didn't answer.

Merlin shrugged and said:

"Look, you don't want to...but someone has to do it, and there's no one else who can do it except Professor Charles. Not to mention, how much those thugs hate him and want peace How much the living mutants will support him... As long as the professor cooperates with the official actions, I can guarantee that those mutants who are willing to obey the order will definitely have a protected home."

"Speaking of which, the 'Utopia' plan proposed by Magneto is actually very feasible."

Merlin looked at the professor, he said:

"The only problem is that it shouldn't be executed by him. I will ask you instead of my director, Professor Charles, are you willing to take over the mess left by Magneto?"

"What do you mean?"

The professor didn't speak, but Ruiwen asked first:

"You mean, the World Security Council will allow us to establish a country?"

"Building a nation is impossible, don't even think about it."

Merlin waved his hand:

"Once you take this step, it is equivalent to initiating a war with the World Security Council. What I really mean is, you guys, have you heard of the 'reserved area' system that SDOLD promotes in the alien world?"

"I understand."

The professor nodded and said:

"Orolo is a wizard. She told me about the system you are promoting. There are currently 17 reserved areas in New York. Any alien who does not want to participate in disputes can live peacefully in the reserved area. The order of the reserved area Responsible for the security officers elected by each, most of the heterogeneous in New York have accepted this system and integrated into it."

"Well, the system is currently working smoothly."

Merlin says:

"In my opinion, the so-called 'Utopia' is nothing more than another larger reserved area for mutants."

"The Brotherhood of Mutants that Magnit belongs to has bought the archipelago in the mysterious Pacific Ocean, and the owner of his registered island..."

Having said that, Merlin paused, looked at Professor Charles, and said:

"It's you, Professor..."

"Ok?"

Hearing this news, both Charles and Mystique Raven were stunned.

"I also just received this news, and frankly, I was also surprised."

Merlin says:

"It seems that you are a very important part of Eric's utopia plan. Perhaps, he has already planned to pull you and your moderate mutants into this storm, but luckily , the storm was stopped before it could blow."

"From a legal point of view, you are already the master of that archipelago, so the Utopia system can continue to be implemented, but no longer use the extreme confrontational thinking of the Mutant Brotherhood."

Merlin stood up, he spread his hands, and said to the professor and Raven:

"A reserved area facing all mutants. Those mutants who can't adapt or don't want to live in the existing order can be included in that archipelago. If you are willing to take over this plan, then Director Fury and I They will find ways to advance this system...the premise is that you must manage the island well under the supervision of the existing system."

"We don't want to see it become the birthplace of the extreme ideology of mutant separatism! As for those mutants who are willing to continue living in society, they can move into the reserved areas of each city and live with other kinds, or they can continue Cover up your identity and live."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the hesitant professor, and said:

"And one last point, professor, if you are willing to cooperate with us to complete the ideological unification of mutants, then we can guarantee that the "Mutant Registration Act" that is in the pipeline will never be passed..."

Merlin's last condition made the professor suddenly raise his head.

There was a throbbing, undisguised joy in his eyes.

The so-called "Mutant Registration Act", this is a very extreme bill promoted by some bastard senators who are afraid of chaos, in order to win the hearts of the people.

They advocated that the government compulsorily require all mutants to register their information, and regularly report this information to the society, so as to prevent mutant "thugs" hiding in the crowd from waiting for opportunities to carry out sabotage operations.

The prototype of this bill existed a long time ago, but it has been suppressed by the mainstream.

Politicians are not all idiots. They understand very well that once this bill is passed, it means that society will further reject and oppress mutants, which will cause a series of social problems.

You must know that in the current population composition of the earth, the number of mutants has reached about 5%-7%, which is more than the population of some ethnic groups with special cultures, and this does not include hidden mutants, that is, those who may Becoming a mutant, but an ordinary person who has not yet awakened.

While many would hate to admit it, mutants already have the foundations to become a truly significant force.

The "Mutant Registration Act" has always been excluded from the mainstream trend of thought, but in recent years, due to various reasons, the situation of this bill with some populist thoughts has once again risen.

Fury scoffed at this bill. As a secret agent leader who advocates control, he once told Merlin in private that once the "Mutant Registration Act" is implemented, the power of the Mutant Brotherhood will immediately expand by about 3-5 times. At that time, the conflict between humans and mutants will become more acute, and a little carelessness will immediately cause a worldwide political turmoil.

However, there are many people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. What's more, when those humans who hate mutants for various reasons are incited, this outrageous bill may really become a reality.

As one of the leaders of the mutants, it is impossible for the professor not to have heard of this bill, and he is also worried about it.

And now, Merlin has made a guarantee on behalf of SHIELD behind him, a huge force that plays an important role in international affairs, but this guarantee itself is enough for the professor to feel the sincerity of Director Nick Fury behind Merlin.

"it is good!"

The professor sat up straight and said to Merlin:

"What do you need me to do?"

"This, you have to talk to Fury."

Merlin waved his hand and said:

"I'm just passing on a message for him. If you're interested, Fury will visit you again in a few days. At that time, I hope that a more constructive cooperation agreement can be reached between the two of you. "

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at the clock on the professor's desk, he turned to look at Ruiwen, he said:

"Okay, visiting time is over."

他 说:

"Prisoner Raven, please come with me. You are now formally arrested by SDOLD for involvement in extremist organizations, assaulting public officials, and stealing. You will face...well, 7 years in prison, if in this If you try to escape from prison during the process, the sentence will be extended to 15-20 years.”

"Only seven years? I thought you would sentence me to life in prison, or even death."

Mystique looked at Merlin with a strange expression, and the latter shrugged:

"Of course, you still have some criminal certificates of suspected espionage and disrupting the order of government departments when you were in the Strategic Science Corps. If you want me to add all these charges to you, I don't mind."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the professor, and said:

"This is also our sincere statement... Mystique Ruiwen, you are not an official member of the Mutant Brotherhood, so considering the future cooperation between the two parties, we are willing to give the professor a face and give you a light sentence .”

"Thank you."

Professor Charles expressed his gratitude to Merlin with a serious expression. Beside him, Ruiwen touched the professor's desk with a hint of nostalgia. She still remembered this desk. When she was a child, she often played hide-and-seek with Charles in this room.

Under Merlin's watchful eyes, Mystique Raven didn't resist, she obediently walked to Merlin's side and stretched out her hands.

Merlin also symbolically put a pair of black handcuffs on Raven's wrist.

Everyone present knew that the handcuffs couldn't hold the mutant in front of him who could change in ever-changing ways.

"One more thing, Merlin."

Just as Merlin and Ruiwen walked out of the room, the professor suddenly asked:

"That little girl, Lorna...what are you going to do with her?"

"deal with?"

Merlin turned around and said:

"This word is a bit too cold, professor. I am not a crazy person. The girl has not yet come out of the shadow of the previous incident. I will put her at home first. If she agrees, I will put her She was sent to Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters."

"Ah That's good."

The professor nodded and watched Merlin and Ruiwen leave the castle.

He pushed the wheelchair and walked to the edge of the room. Watching Ruiwen and Merlin leave the manor from the lawn, there was a trace of relief on the old professor's face.

Difficult as it is to make a decision between friends and race, but once the decision is made, there is no need to hesitate.

"You made a mistake."

"You're just seeking skin from a tiger..."

A faint voice sounded in the professor's ears, causing the professor's complexion to change slightly. He quickly pushed the wheelchair to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a box of medicine, picked up a pill and put it in his mouth.

After a while, the professor's closed eyes opened, and there was an indelible haze in his eyes.

In yesterday's war, he was also shocked by the energy erupting from the underground fortress.

Under the cover of a weak appearance, he also produced some...

Don't know if it's a good or bad mutation.

On the other side, Merlin appeared at the entrance of the Island Prison with a pale Mystique through a long-distance transfer spell.

This kind of teleportation across the entire continent made a mutant with strong physical fitness like Mystique feel dizzy and uncomfortable. What's more, Merlin teleported directly to the inside of the prison without showing it to her. Opportunities in the environment near the prison.

Mystique didn't even know where the prison was located, she just vaguely heard the sound of the tide.

In front of Merlin, the agents who had received the news in advance were ready for containment. An explosive collar and a pair of electric shock shackles were all standard equipment when transferring important prisoners.

Mystique didn't struggle, and let the agents put the shackles on her. Before being escorted away, Ruiwen suddenly turned her head, she looked at Merlin, and she said:

"You found little Lorna, that is to say, you defeated the red devil Asazo?"

"That's it."

Merlin gave an ambiguous answer.

"Kill him for me!"

Rui Wen said in a cold tone:

"I'll stay here obediently until the end of my sentence, and I promise I won't cause trouble."

"Well, it seems that there is still a grievance between the two of you."

Merlin rubbed his chin, he looked at Ruiwen, he said:

"That demonic mutant is still useful to me, as for what to do with him after use... I'll think about it first. Go to serve your sentence, Raven, you'd better be honest, this is my last warning to you .”

Watching Ruiwen being escorted to the basement of the island prison, Merlin didn't waste any time, and returned to his home in New York with a super-distance transfer spell.

The magic reserve brought by entering the semi-devil stage is much higher than that of the previous human form, so that this kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation will not bring too much pressure to Merlin.

Unfortunately, he doesn't feel happy about it.

"boom"

With a heavy worry of an uncertain future, Merlin pushed open the door, and the next moment, he saw a messy living room, with broken furniture everywhere.

In the center of the living room, which looked like post-war ruins, little Ruiwen, who was suspended in the air, was confronting a girl with long green hair flying endlessly who was standing on the ground.

One holds weak magic power in one hand, and the other less skillfully manipulates magnetism.

The two girls just confronted each other, and Daisy in denim was hiding in a corner, trying to record this wonderful scene with her mobile phone.

I don't know why they fought, and... what the hell is Elsa doing?Does she not care?

Merlin looked at the scene in front of him, and his physical and mental exhaustion became heavier. He said:

"Don't fight anymore..."

"And, who can tell me what's going on?"
