The fire at the Metropolitan Hospital's morgue was sudden. Even after the fire brigade arrived and repeatedly investigated the scene, they could not find any suspicious factors. In the end, they could only conclude that the hospital's wiring was aging, causing a short circuit, which then caused the fire.
Although the fire department had given them a plausible explanation, the fire department did not seem to care. But Li Jie still believed that there was something fishy about it. Peter and George also agreed with this point of view.
"Something's wrong. Something's very wrong." Li Jie, George, and Peter had a simple meeting. "Senator McCauley's murder was most likely done by a mutant. And now, Senator McCauley himself is a mutant. And now, the morgue is on fire. It looks like someone wanted to create an accident. "
"Someone destroyed evidence. And this evidence is most likely Senator McCauley's body, "Li Jie glanced at the extinguished fire." This can't be as simple as an aging circuit. If it really is, it's too much of a coincidence. "
"But if someone really wanted to cover something up, what is their real intention?" George Stancy agreed with Li Jie's point of view, but he could not guess what the answer was. Although Stancy agreed with Li Jie's point of view, he still couldn't figure out the answer to the riddle.
Although he agreed with Li Jie's point of view, he could not guess what the answer was. He decided to go to the mutant school to find Professor Charles first thing in the morning. After all, he was the leader of the mutants. Maybe he knew something.
"Chief George. I think Senator McCauley's body will be an important piece of evidence. And from the current clues, the culprit is likely to be a mutant. This kind of consecutive incidents cannot be an accident. So I think it's best that I keep the body for the time being. I'm afraid the police will need your coordination. This evidence can't be destroyed again, "Li Jie looked at George and said seriously.
George? Stancy was not a very pedantic person. It could be seen from the fact that he immediately lit up the spider lights when there might be a mutant committing a crime.
So after thinking about the pros and cons for a while, George nodded. "Okay, Nightcrawler. But you need to keep it safe. This is an important piece of evidence for the whole case! "
Li Jie nodded, indicating that he understood the importance of this matter. Looking at the charred corpse in his hands, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. It was as if something important was about to happen.
… …
The next morning, when Li Jie rushed to the mutated human school with questions, he saw an unusually busy scene. All the mutant instructors were running around the academy, carrying all sorts of information and documents, going in and out.
Blink, who had the ability to shuttle, was already sweating profusely and had no time to rest.
Even Li Jie's arrival went unnoticed by the mutated teacher. Until Li Jie caught an old acquaintance, Stormwoman. He asked, "What's going on? Are you guys moving? "
Li Jie noticed that all the mutated human teachers were moving things out. Some of them were moving things onto the Blackbird fighter jets. Some of them were being transported by Blink, but he did not know where they were being transported to.
Stormwoman, who had always been at odds with Li Jie, did not mock Li Jie this time or say something nasty, "Yes, moving. Maybe we'll never come back."
Stormwoman's tone was filled with sadness that could not be erased. And Li Jie noticed this, "What the hell is going on! I just came from the villa where Senator McCauley died yesterday, and you're leaving today? Is his death really related to you? "
This was what Li Jie was most afraid of. If McCauley was indeed killed by the mutants, especially by Charles' subordinates, then this matter would be huge.
Stormwoman looked like she wanted to talk back to Li Jie, but she held back in the end. But in the end, he held back and said, "Go ask the professor. He'll tell you everything. Thank you for supporting the mutants and us for so long. " After saying that, Stormwoman shook her head and left with a huge box, ignoring Li Jie.
All sorts of terrible thoughts appeared in Li Jie's mind until he walked into Charles' office. He looked at Charles in front of him with a look of disbelief.
Now, Professor X looked so haggard and weak. He was like an old man with one foot in the grave, not a leader of the mutants.
"You're leaving, professor? What the hell is going on, professor? And did your people kill Senator McCauley? "Li Jie felt the urgency of time. He did not waste any time and went straight to the point.
The professor, who had always been polite and gentle, always showing his gentlemanly demeanor, seemed a little dispirited at this time.
He looked up at Li Jie, "It doesn't matter, Nightcrawler. It doesn't matter who killed him anymore. This school can no longer be saved. It will no longer be a haven for the mutants. It's time for all of us to go. "
Charles' indifferent attitude instantly angered Li Jie. "F * ck you! Charles, I just risked my life to get Senator McCauley's body from the fire yesterday because I was afraid of any unpredictable risks, and now it doesn't matter what you tell me! "
Bang! Bang! Li Jie punched the professor's desk with both fists. Li Jie was quite angry at Charles for not fighting back.
Charles' throat moved, and he finally said slowly, "It was Magneto, everything was his plan. He knew where my weakness was, and everything was calculated by him. I've lost. I've lost completely. "
The professor slowly told Li Jie everything that happened last night. The more Li Jie listened, the more surprised he became. Magneto's strategy this time was too deep. It could be said that the professor's original speculation and approach were not wrong.
But it was precisely because he knew Professor Charles' character too well that Magneto could always think of what Charles would do next. So he set up a whole chain of traps to trap Charles. And the price of Charles being fooled was also very direct. He was used as a gun by Magneto.
And now, if everything was exposed. Then the school would definitely be lost, and the most important thing was the mutant children in the school. This was what Charles valued the most. They were likely to become innocent victims of this incident.
Bang! Another sound of a fist slamming on the desk. Li Jie was annoyed after listening to Magneto's plan. Can't I just live a peaceful life in peace for a few days?
Why do you villains always have to jump out and make trouble? Ah! How nice it would be for everyone to eat hot pot and sing happily. What mutant revolution, what mutant idea, you are making trouble, Eric!
Li Jie was annoyed by this. "This is stupid. How many ordinary mutants will be implicated in Magneto's plan? How many ordinary people will die? He is no longer a general built on the bones of ten thousand people. He is stepping on the bones of human beings to establish his own regime! "
Professor Charles also agreed with Li Jie. "He doesn't care anymore. What he wants to do is to integrate the entire mutant force. And I am a thorn in his side. After this incident, I'm afraid the moderate faction of Mutants will no longer exist. "Charles said with some disappointment.
"Don't be discouraged, Professor. At least there is still hope. Maybe things will not get so bad. At least Senator McCauley's body is still there. We still have evidence. "Li Jie comforted.
"Even if there is evidence, it is useless because I did send people to destroy Stryker's base. Do you think the government will still believe my words? "Charles shook his head.
"Phew ~!" Li Jie exhaled a breath of turbid air. "Well, Professor, I was going to tell you about this later. But now that this matter has developed to this point. I am afraid I can only tell you first. But before that, you better isolate this room. I don't want our next conversation to be heard by anyone. "
Li Jie said to Charles in a tone that he had never used before. Charles was a little confused. Could there be a turning point at this point? However, he still isolated the room according to Li Jie's request and used his special ability.
"The government may not believe your words, but we may have another way. But we need your help, and I am afraid you will also need to do something for the mutants and ordinary people. For our plan. "
"I don't mind using my power as long as it is used in the right place. So what is the plan you are talking about? "
"An organization."
"What organization?"
"The Illuminati!"
… …
Starting from the wee hours, the children in the mutant school were woken up one by one. Then, the teachers asked them to wait in the common room. All the mutant children did not know what was happening. They dressed according to the teacher's request.
Some of the younger children were still very excited. They thought that this was a special lesson. Maybe a teacher used the shuttle ability to send them to the other side of the earth to visit a scenic spot!
Meanwhile, the higher grade children could tell from the teachers' uneasy faces that something was wrong. Katie was one of them. She had a feeling that something was going to happen in the school.
What happened after that was indeed developing in the bad direction that she had expected. It could even be said that it was worse than what she had expected!
The school began to dismiss the students!
This was undoubtedly the worst news for many mutant children. It was the so-called bad news of being struck by lightning.
If the mutant children accidentally revealed their mutant abilities in other schools, they would more or less be ostracized. Because they were different.
What's more, they would be discriminated against. For example, Katie. Her ability was harmless, but she still lost her part-time job at the coffee shop because of it.
Many children began to cry. They did not want to go back. Because some children even their parents did not like them. Only here, in the mutant school, could they find the warmth of a family.
Many children cried loudly. Even many of the older students had tears in their eyes. But this time, the teachers hardened their hearts and did not explain anything to them. They just began to escort all the children home.
The first to be sent away were the younger children. They were the ones who made the most noise, and they were still young and lacked the ability to protect themselves. If the worst happened, if the school was attacked, they would be the most in danger.
After the overnight evacuation, the campus, which originally had hundreds of students and was very lively every day, seemed empty at this moment.
A lot of waste paper was scattered on the floor of the corridor, and there were only more than 30 senior students left in the common room. The teachers arranged for them to be the last to be dismissed. Pixie, who was a grade higher than Katie, was constantly crying.
She kept talking in a low voice. "What the hell happened, what the hell happened!" No one could answer her answer. Robert just weakly patted Pixie's back, hoping to give her a little encouragement and comfort. But in fact, he was very confused.
Katie's heart was empty. For her, this was her second home. All the students here were her brothers and sisters. The six months she spent here were the happiest days of her life. She hoped that this life could last forever, not like this. They left in a hurry.
The door of the common room was locked from the outside by the teachers. They did not want the students to leave here now. Because the whole school was very busy now.
For Katie, there was no difference between the locked door and the unlocked door. She could go through the wall, and just as she was about to do so. Iceman said, "Katie! What do you want! "
Katie left a sentence without looking back. "At least I want to know what happened here. This is my home!"
When Li Jie came out of the professor's office, he sent a message to Iron Man almost without pausing. "The establishment of the organization is going to be advanced. Don't worry about the aliens. Get a safe place on Earth first. We should have a meeting first! "
"Nightcrawler!" Just as Li Jie sent a message to Tony, Katie found Li Jie. Katie knew Nightcrawler, and so did many students at the school. He was the superhero with the best relationship with Mutants.
"Nightcrawler, we are going to be dismissed! What happened at the school! The teachers didn't tell us. Do you know what happened! "Katie asked a lot of things to Li Jie.
Li Jie scratched his head. Anyway, even if his later ideas were officially implemented and succeeded. But this Mutant School would definitely not be able to be kept. Because it did happen that Charles sent people to attack the military base.
However, Li Jie still had doubts about Charles's practice of hiding everything and not telling his students.
The lower grade students were fine, but the higher grade students already had the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. They would eventually have to go into society and face the cruel truth of this world.
Sometimes, it was better to give them a warning in advance than to let them experience the bloody reality to learn.
Since he had a good relationship with Katie, he didn't think too much about it and quickly told her everything that happened yesterday.
"So, from now on, you have to learn to hide. Before everything calms down, the situation of Mutants may become increasingly difficult. Learn to be strong. "Li Jie patted Katie's shoulder. As Nightcrawler, not Jason? Li, his identity was not familiar with Katie. So after saying these words, he did not stay for long and drove the glider away from the Mutant School.
Katie, on the other hand, whispered in her heart, "How could this be!" She returned to the common room in a daze and looked at the students. Those sorrowful faces.
Katie felt that this was not the life she wanted. At this time, shouldn't everyone be happily in class or playing on the lawn? Or some naughty children would run to harass Steel Man or Hank.
Otherwise, there would be a few mischievous children using their abilities to bring some harmless jokes to everyone.
Where had all the cheerful laughter gone? What was all this for?!
In human society, most of the time, women were stronger than men. They knew how to endure, but when they wanted to fight back, they could explode with power. At this moment, Katie suddenly felt that she should do something.
Perhaps it was because of her friend, Jason? Li once said, "We were born ordinary. Now that we have the power, we should be able to make a contribution to this world. Maybe it is just a small step, but the important thing is not how much we can change, but what we do."
This was the original intention of Li Jie when he founded Marvel. He never hid his obsession with certain ideas. At this moment, Katie felt that she should do something. In order to continue the smile of this school, she should do something.
Maybe it would take a long time, maybe it would take a lot of time. Maybe there would be a lot of difficulties, but she should do something. In order to protect something important.
With that thought in mind, Kathi looked at the remaining 30 plus students in the common lounge. They were all seniors. They were like her, we all have extraordinary abilities! I still have friends, don't I?
