Sentinel

Chapter 87 Brotherhood

Manhattan, Battery Park.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked through the busy avenue, carrying a black briefcase, walked into the narrow and dark alley, walked along the route in memory, and came to a hidden house in the depths of the block. old building.He pressed the electric bell outside the door, and after a while, the small window on the door was opened, revealing a vigilant face.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Variation and pride!"

The middle-aged man replied coldly, and the two sides exchanged codes like joint agents during the Cold War. With a bang, the reinforced iron door was opened, and the man with the briefcase walked in without looking sideways.

The moment he stepped into the gate, the ordinary middle-aged man suddenly changed. Under the black windbreaker, a blue body with bumps and convexities appeared. Mystique walked gracefully in this old building of the last century. On the way, you can occasionally see some weird-looking guys. They are all recruited by Magneto and have unique superpowers.

boom!
A burly body was thrown at Mystique Ruiwen's feet like a cannonball. She stopped and found that it was Victor the saber-toothed tiger with a bad brain. Angry at the mutant leader with a bad temper.

There was a sensational sound upstairs, like the sharp sound of countless metal collisions. Ruiwen turned her head and looked at Todd, the toad, who was squatting in the corridor. Eric rarely got angry like this, and she couldn't imagine what it was Who angered the mighty Magneto.

Mystique twisted her waist and walked upstairs. The room that belonged exclusively to Magneto was in a mess. Papers were scattered all over the floor like snowflakes. Metal tables and chairs were all overturned. Standing straight in front of the computer, like a silent statue.

"What happened, Eric?" Magneto calmed down the anger in his heart. There were only a few people in this world who would call him that.

"Since human beings want a war, then I will satisfy them!" The voice of the old man wearing a helmet was cold, and the webpage news on the computer screen was all about mutants being captured and killed for illegal experiments on living bodies.

Ruiwen stepped forward and glanced at it roughly. Angry flames also appeared in the yellow pupils, and the eye sockets were slightly red. Looking at the cruel situation of those compatriots who were tied to the operating table and slaughtered like livestock, hatred was like a raging fire. As if gnawing at his heart, bursts of tearing pain eroded his body.

"Eric..."

"That's why Charles and I parted ways... He always believed that human beings are full of beauty and kindness, so he looked forward to the day when mutants can coexist harmoniously with human beings and live together on this planet."

Magneto has regained his composure. He stared at the news reports on the computer, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "He has forgotten, or is unwilling to admit that no race will accept a group of aliens, especially if the other party can pose a threat to himself. This is not racial discrimination, but a complete racial dispute! Mutants need a better life, we are tired of being hunted down, excluded, hiding in hiding, like rats in the trench!"

"We are neither aliens nor freaks - mutants are the forerunners on the evolutionary path, and we are proud of our innate talents! This time, I want to make the world face up to our existence, even Charles You can't stop me!"

Magneto spoke passionately. He has been dormant for half a century. He believes that the time is ripe. The mutants are fed up with the dark days of hiding.
The high-end heads of state summit on Liberty Island is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Magneto has designed a conversion device that can mutate the genes of ordinary people into mutants—although in the process of forced transformation, it will violently destroy the original human body. A stable gene chain leads to the collapse of one's own genes, and at least half of the people will die as a result.

But this mutant leader who hates humans doesn't care about these things, he just wants to warn humans in this way, mutants are not weak targets to be slaughtered, they are lions with sharp claws, and humans are just weak lambs .

"Maybe we can use another method to sound a wake-up call for those humans."

Looking at the graphic materials on the computer screen, Magneto couldn't help but recall the tragic days when he was imprisoned in Auschwitz concentration camp. Every day he worried about being sent to the gas chamber or becoming the object of fun for an officer.Those were the darkest days Eric had ever experienced. He witnessed how those military officers slaughtered the Jews, as if treating them like livestock, driving them into the big pit, shooting them to be buried, or sending them into the gas chamber, Used to test the powerful lethality of chemical weapons.

Originally, Eric could not escape such a tragic fate. A human scientist named Sebastian Shaw discovered that he was different. In order to stimulate the powerful ability in his body, the other party shot and killed his mother face to face. , In extreme anger, he awakened the innate ability to control the magnetic field, and since then began the legendary life of "Magneto King".

Before meeting his old friend Charles, who fell in love and killed each other, Eric only lived for revenge, but after killing Shaw, he chose to fight for his compatriots, inheriting the idea of ​​the enemy in disguise, and building a beautiful country for mutants.

"I thought the plan to attack Liberty Island was too risky. Politicians from so many countries lost their lives, and mutants would become enemies of the world. However, it is no problem to attack Watsonton Corporation. The human government may be furious, but not It touches a sensitive nerve in them."

Mystique Raven draped Eric's shoulders. Because of her plan to attack Liberty Island, she disguised herself as a government servant and secretly obtained the list of key personnel participating in the summit, as well as the itinerary and security distribution.

As one of Magneto's most trusted helpers, Ruiwen does not agree with Eric's attack plan in her heart. This will not change the difficult situation of the mutant compatriots, but will arouse the suppression and vigilance of the human government, and completely set off the two races. war between.

At that time, the living environment for mutants will become more difficult than during the Cold War, and the fragile peace that Charles has carefully maintained for many years will be broken in an instant.

"You're right, now is indeed not the best time to confront the human conquest." Magneto followed Ruiwen's suggestion, and he sighed softly: "Ruiwen, you are still so young, while Charles and I are already old .”

Mystique fell silent. The vigorous Magneto in her memory has quietly become a wrinkled old man. Although he is still full of strength, he is no longer young.

"Charles and I have taken different paths, but our original intention is the same. We all hope that our compatriots can live freely in this world and no longer be afraid of other people's strange eyes."

Magneto's eyes are full of nostalgia. Who can imagine that half a century ago, he and another leader of the mutants, Professor X, trusted each other and fought side by side.

Restraining the occasional nostalgia, Magneto's face gradually became cold and hard, like steel, and said in a deep voice: "I want to use Watsonton's destruction to remind the world that mutants are not weak lambs who can be bullied! "
