1640. Spinning Silk from a Cocoon
Tang Yu stood up. He had crushed the bottle just now, so he simply grabbed the bottle and gulped it down. His alcohol tolerance was average. After drinking half a bottle of Lafite, he began to stagger as he walked. He smashed the bottle against the wall and broke it. Then, he rushed out while cursing under the influence of the alcohol.
In the car, Tang Yu casually ordered the driver to send him to a five-star hotel. Then, he leaned on the chair and pondered.
He already knew through the butler that Charles and Eric had been here. Obviously, they had met with Peacock, so they definitely hoped that Peacock would investigate the core secrets of the Guardian Group for them. Peacock did not know from the beginning that Tang Yu's goal was to control the production of the Sentinel robots. Instead, she thought that he would strictly follow the mission requirements to destroy the Sentinel robots. Therefore, Tang Yu's opposite action made Peacock suspicious.
If it was before, with their tacit understanding, Peacock would definitely trust Tang Yu unreservedly. However, Tang Yu let Emma modify Peacock's memory, magnifying the suspicion in Peacock's heart, making Peacock think that Tang Yu was deceiving her. This suspicion would undoubtedly be caught by Charles. So, Peacock would almost certainly help Charles with the investigation, and this investigation would certainly be based on the premise that Tang Yu would not be harmed.
This gave Tang Yu a protective talisman. Before Charles and the others confirmed that Peacock would not bring them more valuable information, they would definitely continue to let Peacock investigate Tang Yu. Then, they would certainly not do anything to harm him. Otherwise, Peacock would fall out with them.
So, Tang Yu could use Peacock, the double agent, to influence the actions of Charles and the others, and find the mysterious person hiding behind it! However, although Peacock completely let down her guard at that time and let Emma modify her memory, no one could guarantee when Peacock's memory would recover. After all, the duration of a Telepath's influence on a target was inversely proportional to the target's strength! Once Peacock was exposed, the double agent would lose his purpose, and Peacock would be in danger!
Therefore, they had to find the Mysterious Man as soon as possible and then retreat to Peacock. Only then could they have a face-to-face confrontation.
Tang Yu did not know who the mysterious man was, but whether it was the reminder from the future Professor X or the abnormal behavior of Charles in this era, they all pointed to his existence. However, the appearance of Black Queen Celine made him realize that this world was definitely not limited to the movie X-Men: Reversal of the Future. It was a complete world formed by the addition of many content and characters that only appeared in the comic.
If the content of the manga was added into the picture, the scope of this mysterious person would be too wide. So instead of finding out his identity, it was better to start from this person's purpose first. Since Professor X said that this man had telepathic abilities, he should also be a mutant. From the perspective of a mutant, what reason would he have to attack Professor X when the Sentinel robots were wreaking havoc all over the world?
First of all, it was definitely not Magneto's group of mutants, because in the face of life and death, even Professor X and Magneto could let go of their prejudices and join forces. There was no reason why other mutants would not do the same. But attacking Professor X in that case would only benefit the Sentinel robots! What kind of mutant would help the Sentinel robots that specialized in hunting mutants?
Thinking of this, Tang Yu suddenly had an idea. He could not help but shout, "I understand, the Deadpool plan!"
Then, ignoring the bewildered driver, he immediately called up the holographic screen from his personal terminal and began to quickly search for data. Yes, there was only one kind of mutant who could stand on the side of the Sentinel robots! An artificial mutant! Then, the message left by Professor X said that he was not a human could also explain this! Because he should be a monster created by a human! And in this era, it was William Stryker who was conducting artificial mutant experiments!
Then we can first assume that this mysterious man is an artificial mutant. Then his purpose … Tang Yu thought for a while and pulled up the video surveillance of Charles forcibly reading the brain information of the Guardian Group shareholder and turning him into an idiot. He clearly saw that Charles was a little resistant to doing this at first, but after saying something to someone, he rubbed his head and made the decision.
But who was Charles talking to? The person was very careful to hide his figure in a place where the hidden camera could not see. This person should not have known the location of the camera in advance. Otherwise, the camera would have been destroyed long ago. That could only be bad luck … Luck?
Tang Yu was suddenly shocked. What if this was a habit? A habit of always putting oneself in any possible blind spot of surveillance! This was not a very advanced technique. In fact, agents in the real world could do this, but the problem was that this habit absolutely could not have appeared in the 1960s!! People in the 1960s did not even know what a camera was. How could they have such a habit!
Wait! If the person outside the screen was the mysterious man, then based on this inference … The normal Charles Xavier was kind-hearted and would never forcibly read a person's memory to turn him into an idiot. Then it could only be that Charles was being guided by this mysterious man, but in this era, there was no abnormality in Charles' behavior, so it should have only started recently … Was this just a coincidence? Rather than saying that the mysterious man had been existing since the 1960s, it was more reasonable to say that he had returned to this era with him!!
Thinking about it, Tang Yu entered two words on the screen. Causality weapon … Zhou Qing … After activating the causality weapon, he entered it first with the seriously injured Peacock, and at that time, Zhou Qing was operating the console. In other words, between him and Peacock entering the causality weapon and Zhou Qing entering the causality weapon, there was a period of time that he was completely unaware of!
Whether Zhou Qing had entered the causality weapon or not, Tang Yu did not know. He had not been able to find Zhou Qing's whereabouts. Then … could it be that the mysterious man killed Zhou Qing and entered the causality weapon? But that did not make sense … At that time, Magneto and the others were guarding the door. It was impossible for them to break through their defense in such a short time, and they did not hear any warnings from Magneto and the others.
Tang Yu rubbed his temples. But this situation could not be completely denied. The worst case scenario was that the mysterious man had also come to this era! If that was the case, the mysterious man also knew everything that would happen in the future! 'If I were the mysterious man, what would I do …' Tang Yu looked out the window of the car and pondered.
'If the mysterious man's identity is an artificial mutant, then his goal must be to ensure the smooth birth of the sentinel robot. But this work is being carried out by me now, so it does not conflict with his goal. Then he will definitely try to directly seize the sentinel robot research results from my hands. Is this his goal of gradually guiding and controlling Professor X? To control me and the entire Guardian Group through Professor X's telepathic ability?
'Not only that … Even if the plan to control the Guardian Group fails, he can still use Professor X to rope in the X-Men, the most powerful mutant organization in the future … If that's the case, then at this stage, he and I can actually be considered allies … Hehehehe …' Tang Yu sneered in his heart for a while. He opened the small refrigerator in the car, took out a bottle of Coca-Cola and took a sip.
"Wait a minute! Turn around and go to the airport immediately! "Tang Yu suddenly patted the driver on the shoulder and ordered.
If that was the case, then it would be very interesting. Tang Yu's eyes narrowed. Just now, through the conversation with Peacock, he had conveyed the keyword 'international situation'. If Charles was smart enough, then he would have definitely guessed that the international situation was the current situation between the United States and the Soviet Union. With reference to Tang Yu's previous claim of conquering the world, Charles and the others were very likely to conclude that Tang Yu would provoke the outbreak of World War III, thus giving the Guardian Group an opportunity to take advantage of!
Not only that, the outbreak of World War III was certainly not in the interests of the mysterious man, so he would definitely stop it!
