April 1st, 5: 15 in the morning, Xavier School.
"You're a little early, Nightcrawler, and with so many friends?" Professor Xavier, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was the first person to welcome Li Jie and the others.
"You're early too, Professor." Li Jie bowed slightly to Professor X as a morning greeting.
"It's hard for the elderly to have a deep sleep," Xavier said with a smile. "New York City doesn't seem to be very peaceful today."
"Yes, Professor, I think we may need your help." Li Jie did not continue to be polite with the professor and began to cut to the chase.
Li Jie hoped that Professor X could help to directly read the memories of Carr and Jigsaw. This was Professor X's strongest ability, there were only a few people on Earth who could compete with Charles Xavier in terms of mental strength.
It was not impossible to obtain information by relying on interrogation, because Damon and Frank were both experts in interrogation, and their methods may sometimes be more brutal.
But this method would take too much time, and what they lacked now was time.
This time, Natasha and Barton did not follow Li Jie's group, only Rogers came with two prisoners.
Because after obtaining the information, these two guys would still be thrown into the S.H.E.L.D. prison.
"So you want me to read the memories of these two people?" Charles said with a little thought.
"Yes, Professor, I believe you can also understand how important this matter is." While Li Jie and Professor X were talking, other X-Men also appeared one after another.
"It's a little risky to intervene in this matter, Professor." Laser Eyes had some more considerations. "This is not a simple personal grudge, this may be an event that will involve the national level."
"If we intervene rashly, will it cause more consequences? It may even involve us Mutants in a very unsafe state of existence. "
Laser-eyed Scott's thoughts were not unreasonable. The Mutants could not see any benefits from intervening in this matter. Instead, they might drag themselves into a pool of muddy water.
Right now, the living conditions of the Mutants were a problem. Many people didn't have the mind to think about other problems.
"Sir, I don't really agree with you," the one who refuted Scott wasn't Li Jie, but Rogers.
"Among my former comrades, there were many mutants. For example, Wolverine Logen, who is standing there. "Rogers pointed at Wolverine, who had just appeared.
"Your ancestors have all fought and worked hard for the sake of peace in this world."
After the incident at the Arctic Winter Castle, Rogers and Logen had regained contact.
This pair of brothers had suffered from amnesia. He had forgotten all his previous memories. The other was frozen under the glacier and missed 70 years of her life.
Although Logen couldn't remember the memories of Captain Rogers, he had also forgotten the battle with him. But this didn't prevent him from believing Captain Rogers's words.
Because Rogers knew a lot of his little hobbies, even some that he hadn't noticed. And Rogers's personal credibility was very high. Even after so many years, he was still a symbol of a noble believer.
Therefore, Logen felt that Rogers didn't deceive him about this kind of thing.
"Captain, my name is Scott. I grew up reading your heroic stories. "Scott was still quite polite to Rogers.
"I know your story, as well as your goals and pursuits. But times are different now, and the living space of Mutants has become narrower and narrower. "
"Now it's already very difficult to ensure that our kind can live in peace and not be disturbed by others on this planet." Scott's words were agreed with by a considerable part of the X-Men.
"Scott, I believe you should have read the new comic book published by MARVEL recently." Li Jie suddenly interjected.
Li Jie's Marvel Comics finally agreed to publish a comic book about Mutants and X-Men. And Li Jie also used the identity of Jason Li to talk to Professor Charles about copyright issues.
Because last time Katie invited Li Jie to participate in the school's public exhibition, Li Jie left a very good impression on Charles.
And relying on Li Jie's excellent ability to talk, he finally persuaded Charles to agree to the copyright of X-Men.
The new comic book about Mutants has been officially published. And the artist, Ivy, is very enthusiastic about Mutants comics.
After Li Jie appointed her as the lead writer, she almost forgot to eat and sleep.
Therefore, the inaugural issue of Mutants comics is almost thicker than the inaugural issue of Night Watchmen, and the content is richer.
The comic reveals the plight of ordinary Mutants' lives through the perspectives of several different Mutants, but in the face of this plight of life and social discrimination.
These protagonists still do not give up their beliefs and use their abilities to help others and become heroes.
The content of Mutants comics is very heavy, and there are a lot of stories about human nature and racial antagonism. There is no definite right or wrong in this kind of story, and everything is a gray area between white and black.
Sales have skyrocketed since it went on the market, partly because of ordinary people's curiosity about Mutants, and partly because the story of Ivy and Gwen is very well made.
"Yes, students in the school have been reading this comic recently, why?" Scott hasn't figured out what Li Jie's intention is in talking about this comic.
"I always don't want there to be a barrier between ordinary people and Mutants. I believe you all know what I have done. "Li Jie's words have been recognized by the vast number of X-Men.
Nightcrawler has been trying to balance the contradictions between Mutants and ordinary people, and even threw all kinds of contradictions to Hydra.
Now in the Mutants school, Nightcrawler also has a considerable reputation, at least everyone thinks that Li Jie is a trustworthy friend, and it is no longer as easy to fight as it was at the beginning.
"I've been saying, Mutants. In particular, Mutants with abilities should be more active in society, especially using their abilities to help the society. Only in this way can everyone accept Mutants. "Li Jie said as he walked to the Professor.
"This new comic publication, look at the comment section of the website, there is a lot of controversy. But overall, the comments are in a good direction, and most people think that all Mutants can't be lumped together. "
"And the reason for this evaluation is largely due to what you have done recently. You have prevented a large number of Mutants from going out of control, and you have done a lot of other good things along the way. "
"Only when this society realizes that Mutants are also an essential part of this developing society, will the lives of Mutants be improved. And this requires you to work harder, for you and your descendants. "Li Jie said in a very serious tone.
The X-Men didn't say anything for a moment. After a while. After a while, Professor X said. "What do you want to know about their memories?"
"The more about Kim Pyong, the better. It would be even better if we can find someone related to Latveria. "Li Jie escorted Carr and Jigsaw directly to the Professor.
While Li Jie was talking to a group of X-Men, the Security Committee of Washington, D.C. was holding an emergency meeting.
Most of the members were still in a sweet dream when they were woken up for the meeting. Some people came to the meeting without knowing what happened.
But most people already knew what was happening in New York. Even if Nick Fury wanted to hide such a big event, he probably wouldn't be able to.
"Everyone, New York's S.H.E.L.D. has fallen." The opening remarks of the member in charge of the meeting were simple and direct, but it caused the entire meeting room to explode.
"Although it was only for a moment, this is the greatest humiliation in the history of the UA government, especially the history of S.H.E.L.D.."
"The most powerful force in this country was breached by a group of people in the UA. I believe everyone here knows what kind of headlines will appear in tomorrow morning's news. This is a big event that we can't suppress. "
"Someone must be responsible for this incident, and this is the purpose of our meeting today."
"Then let's start today's agenda now."
Back in New York, although Jigsaw and Carr tried hard to resist Xavier's mental invasion, their resistance was meaningless under the suppression of this old man's powerful mental power.
It didn't take much effort for Charles to dig out the memories that the two wanted to hide.
Now Professor X was resting with his eyes closed. He was sorting out the memories obtained from the two. Because there were too many memories, he needed to get rid of those that were not needed and only keep the useful ones.
Li Jie was patiently waiting for the final result of Charles' investigation. However, Ceng Chu's voice came from his communicator.
Or rather, all the Night Watchers' communicators were transmitting his surprised voice.
"More than half an hour ago, Russia launched four ballistic missiles against Latvia. They only released the news after more than half an hour. They said that it was because they used an old map that caused the launch error. "
"The launch location was the aerospace center where Latvia announced that they were preparing to launch the moon mining spacecraft."
"Latvia just announced that they had successfully intercepted the ballistic missiles launched by Russia. They also publicly condemned Russia's actions as an open provocation. "
"Russia rejected Latvia's plan to ask for compensation from Russia. Now, Latvia has officially declared war on Russia. "
"Dum's army has now begun to assemble and is ready to move to the borders of other new Eastern European organizations. They are ready to start a full-scale war with Russia! "
Li Jie looked at his watch. It was already 5: 30 am on April 1st. There were less than two and a half hours left before the launch of the Ark spacecraft.
April 1st, the traditional April Fool's Day in the western world. It was said that the origin of this festival came from France. That year, the French king issued a new and more scientific calendar date.
But it was resisted by the traditional nobles. In the traditional calendar, April 1st was the new year of the old calendar.
Many stubborn old nobles still followed the tradition and celebrated the new year on April 1st. The new nobles who supported the king sneered at the tradition of the old guys.
On this day, they gave fake New Year's gifts and held fake New Year's balls to humiliate the old nobles. This was the origin of April Fool's Day.
The original purpose of this festival was to represent a separation between the new era and the old era.
This was also an important reason why Tony Stark chose to launch the Ark spacecraft today.
Under his previous ambitions, Tony believed that this was the replacement of the old and the new world, and that historians would divide human history into two parts from today onwards.
However, Tony's overconfidence, or even arrogance, made the whole thing more and more out of control.
The beginning of the war in Eastern Europe sounded the alarm for all rational people. Human history might really begin to be divided into two parts today.
But the meaning of these two parts of history was certainly not what Tony Stark expected. Perhaps it was not a beautiful future, but a thick nuclear winter without the sun in sight.
Perhaps the remaining humans could only hear about the golden age of mankind from the mouths of the old, when the sun warmed the world.
Now Dum's army had begun to assemble. Frank once said. Although Latvia was only a small country, its military strength was very strong.
