Chapter 325 - CHANGE
CHAPTER 325 CHANGE
For Robert’s invitation, Lin Rui does not simply think that he just wants to make friends with himself. Now Mutants and X-MEN are also aware of Lin Rui’s situation on this earth. Following the “Mutant Registration Bill”, many high-level political figures are now trying to implement special laws against Mutants. Now the survival of Mutants on Earth has become more difficult.
Therefore, Robert’s invitation was not necessarily a friendly exchange. However, Lin Rui is not so simple as he is also here for his own purpose, that is, to unite X-Men with him. The strength of the X-Men is very strong by Lin Rui’s standards, and although Level 5 Mutants like Iceman cannot control their power, they are among the best on earth.
Especially Charles, the leader of X-MEN, if his ability is really as strong as that seen by Lin Rui in his previous life, it will be much easier to find the hidden Hydra after he joined forces with the X-MEN. After all, Hydra who can hide is still on the earth, and with Professor Charles’ powers, it would be no problem for him to find them. Therefore, Lin Rui asked a very direct question from the beginning. He believed that Professor Charles would know what he meant.
Hearing such a direct question from Lin Rui, Professor Charles was a bit surprised, “Oh? You are a very direct person!”
Even if Iceman strongly wanted to invite Mirage Knight, the main member of the League of Defender, to the X Academy, it would not have been possible without Professor Charles’s consent. So, why did Professor Charles invited him to the X Academy, Lin Rui also had some speculation in this matter. So, without wasting time, Lin Rui just asked that.
“Did you really just asked me to come here for a friendly chat?” Lin Rui asked after glancing at the other X-MENs who were not talking in the room.
“Well, of course, inviting you here as a mere guest was not my opinion either. But what does Mirage Knight think will happen to Mutants in the future?” Professor Charles did not care that Lin Rui spoke directly and instead asked him a question.
“Something very bad!” Lin Rui didn’t have any other redundant words. A simple answer could better indicate the current situation of Mutants.
Hearing Lin Rui’s answer, with the exception of Professor Charles, the other X-MENs in the room frowned slightly. It seems that they still have some good views on the situation of Mutants on the earth.
However, as Lin Rui who has seen the X-MEN Movie series and other related films and stories, Mutants’ situation in the future is worse than just very bad. It can be said that if this world continues to develop as he saw in the movies, the future of Mutants’ will be very difficult, many times more difficult than it is now. For the difference between Mutants and the rest of the population has always been irreconcilable, and Mutants are constantly being beaten down when the rest of the population is in the majority.
“It seems that you are very clear about the current situation in the world!” Unlike the X-MENs who still have a lot of hope in the room, Professor Charles is the person who can best feel the current situation of Mutants.
As the leader of X-MEN, Professor Charles represents the moderate side of Mutants, but he also fully understands the malevolence of Mutants in the world. As a result, his X-Men, while strong, have always been designed to protect Mutants.
Although Mutants above Level 2 can better control their own ability and will not cause unnecessary harm to others. However, most of the Mutants on the earth can’t control their ability. These Mutants will always cause damage to people or things around them. In the context of such a large environment, such Mutants, who are mostly out of control, will be strongly rejected by ordinary people, which will affect the entire Mutants community.
So Professor Charles has no better way to guarantee Mutants’ future on earth. After all, he is old, and he has spent his life fighting various forces against Mutants and against the different ideas within Mutants. Professor Charles is an old man now, and although his abilities are still strong, the future still depends on the young.
“Iceman, get a chair for Mirage Knight.” Glancing at the changing faces of several X-Men in the room, Professor Charles waved to everyone to sit down.
Huh ~
At Professor Charles’ suggestion, everyone in the office sat down in silence. Then, instead of continuing the conversation, Professor Charles introduces Lin Rui to other X-Men.
After a brief introduction by Professor Charles, Lin Rui knew about the three X-MENs that he did not know. Of course, knowledge is power, but Lin Rui didn’t recognize them from his memories. Under Professor Charles’s introduction, Storm, one of the main members of the X-Men is now performing some type of mission outside, and a few other X-Men that Lin Rui knows about are also outside.
“In this way, X-MEN is now stronger than in the movie. That means that the enemies they face are stronger than in the movie. That also means that the chance of joining forces is also greater.” After listening to Professor Charles’ introduction to the X-MEN members, Lin Rui thought silently in his heart.
“Now, I can answer your initial question.” After introducing the members of X-MEN, Professor Charles suddenly said to Mirage Knight seriously.
“Eh?” Lin Rui also become serious when he heard Professor Charles’s words, and he looked at Professor Charles in front of him.
“Mirage Knight, you asked us what X-MEN planned in the beginning, and I think you probably guessed the purpose of our invitation.”
“We X-MEN don’t want to hide behind the scenes and protect Mutants silently. We have to go to the eyes of the public. We have to make more efforts so that the Mutant kind survives on the earth!
“Over the years, we have always worked behind the scenes for Mutants, protecting the weaker Mutants and setting up the X-Academy to house Mutant children. However, such a peaceful approach will not change the Mutants’ situation in the world, we need a bigger change to change our situation! “
“So we want to team up with the League of Defender!” Staring at Mirage Knight in front of him, professor Charles said this in succession.
Professor Charles, who is known for his gentle manner, made a succession of remarks that made Lin Rui feel very strange as it is something that he had not previously suspected. Although Lin Rui presumably guessed that the X-Men wanted to use the power of the League of defenders to better fight against their enemies but he did not expect that Professor Charles would have made such a decision: To go to the front and fight fair and square for the Mutants on earth to change the status quo! This is something Lin Rui did not expect.
Speaking of which, what professor Charles is now saying seems to have a lot in common with Magneto’s philosophy. At least, unlike the X-Men, who have been quietly protecting and helping Mutants for years, Magneto’s Mutant Brotherhood is much more visible, they are on almost every national power’s kill list.
So, after Professor Charles said this, Lin Rui was momentarily stunned.
