Chapter 358 The Antidote Is Born

"This matter is related to the secrets of the professor and Qin. If you really want to know, just ask the professor yourself. Although I know it, I have no right or obligation to tell you, and..."

In the room, Xu Yue paused in his words and looked at Scott with deep meaning.

"Neither does Professor. As the captain of the X-Men, I think you should know his character and conduct very well."

"Not all truths must be made public. The purpose of burying certain things under the soil is to prevent them from rotting and smelling in the sun, making people look evil. If you must dig them up, , then we must prepare in advance all the consequences and costs that will occur after the stench spreads.”

After saying this, Xu Yue said no more, but after taking a sip of tea, he closed his eyes and began to silently recall the complex inscriptions recorded on the surface of the golden dome last night.

On the other side, Scott held the tea cup with both hands and remained silent for a long time. The faint heat at the mouth of the cup continued to rise, covering his face a little blurry.

I don't know how much time passed, but the professor's voice suddenly sounded in Xu Yue's mind.

"Xinhuo, come to my office. Hank has come to the academy with news of the 'antidote'."

It finally begins!

His slightly closed eyes quickly opened, and Xu Yue glanced at Scott, who was still in a dazed state. He was surrounded by his lover and the professor who was like a teacher and a father, making him feel confused.

"I'm going to the professor's office now. Hank is here. Do you want to come with me?"

The chaotic thoughts were interrupted, and Scott silently put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head slowly.

"No, I need to wake up a little more."

After that, the two of them stood up and walked towards the door one after another.

There was no words all the way until they reached the corridor on the second floor, and the two of them separated. Scott's lonely figure had just walked not far away, but he was stopped by Xu Yue's voice again.

"Scott, I remember that when you first woke up, you almost killed a classmate, right? It just happened that the iron toilet door blocked the main impact of the laser, so he should have died directly. It turned into a minor injury.”

Although he didn't know why Xu Yue suddenly mentioned this matter, Cyclops nodded slightly after hearing this.

It was precisely because of this unexpected and hurtful awakening that his family sent him to the professor's Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, where he stayed for more than twenty years.

Seeing Scott nodding that he was right, Xu Yue lowered his eyes and continued with some emotion:

"That's really lucky. I didn't cause irreparable losses when my abilities were awakened. A considerable number of mutants with dangerous abilities don't have this luck. Once they awaken, they often cause mistakes to those around them that they will never forget for the rest of their lives, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives. "

After that, Xu Yue ignored Scott's reaction, turned around and walked quickly towards the professor's office. But in a corner where no one noticed, a purple light spot fluttered down from his fingertips, quietly Silently he got into Scott's trousers.

Regardless of whether the other party was convinced or not, he had to ensure that he would not leave the academy rashly. Xu Yue did not mind taking some tough measures when necessary.

Behind him, Scott looked stunned. The four words 'unforgettable' flashed through his mind like lightning. Awakening of abilities is a stage that every mutant cannot escape.

It is precisely because of the awakening of their abilities that they separated from the original human population and forcibly integrated into the oppressed mutant group. Some separation processes were slow and silent, while a larger part of the separation process was bloody and cruel. , always starts with destruction and death.

But no matter what kind of separation process it is, it is an extremely unforgettable memory for every mutant. But regarding Qin, Scott has never heard her talk about the process of awakening her abilities.

Scott used to think that the other party was deliberately avoiding it, but now thinking about it, maybe in Qin's impression, this memory really does not exist, which means that the professor has tampered with Qin's memory and thinking!

"What happened to Qin when she was a child..."

Scott was muttering in a daze on the spot, while on the other side of the corridor, Xu Yue, who was walking quickly, was also talking softly to someone.

"Looking at Scott's appearance, he must have reacted. Since you want him to know, why don't you tell him in person? Professor."

"This is Qin's past, and I am not qualified to tell anyone about this experience on her behalf. If Scott really wants to know all this, he will explore it himself."

"When you decisively chose to seal Qin's memory, you shouldn't have the same thoughts now, right?"

After a long moment of silence, the voice in his mind sounded again, but the words were filled with a hint of bitterness.

"I didn't have many choices at that time. The uncontrollable power and the painful memory of killing my mother made Qin extremely emotionally unstable when she was a child. She was full of vigilance and darkness. A small stimulus might cause her to lose her entire life. Every castle has been razed to the ground, like a child supporting an entire mountain range. Just one release of force may cause her and everything around her to be crushed to pieces by the collapsing mountain range."

"In that case, I stubbornly believed that only by sealing everything could Qin live a new life based on forgetting the past."

"When Qin became an adult, I also tried to tell her these things, and prepared to slowly guide her to master the vast power inside her body. But when I was about to do so, I suddenly discovered that the Black Phoenix was already sealing was born quietly in the cage of the soul."

"I can't change that evil personality, nor can I kill it, so I can only passively strengthen the seal, which eventually led to the situation evolving step by step to the present."

"Psychic psychics have absolute control over the mind and memory, but we still have too many things that we can't control. Xinhuo, you Chinese have an old saying, those who are good at swimming drown, and those who are good at riding fall. I once arrogantly thought that I was helping Qin, but it turned out that I just delayed the time of the outbreak and made a bigger mistake..."

Perhaps because Xu Yue already knew a lot of information, the professor did not hide anything from him, but instead took all the responsibilities on himself in the story.

Xu Yue did not interrupt the professor's words, but just listened silently. Until the other party finished speaking, he asked a question he had wanted to know for a long time.

"So you discovered the existence of the Black Phoenix a long time ago? Then in the past three years, did you really not find Qin at the bottom of the lake?"

"... Come in first, some things will be discussed later."

...

Second floor of the castle, the principal's office.

Storm was talking happily with a male mutant who looked like a beast but was dressed in a suit, while the professor sat quietly aside, but his expression was quite lonely.

Perhaps sensing the professor's abnormality, the beast mutant paused the conversation with Storm, looked sideways at the professor sitting in a wheelchair, and asked in confusion:

"Charles, what's wrong?"

The voice interrupted the professor's thoughts. He first raised his eyes and smiled gently, diluting the inappropriate loneliness on his body, and then tilted his head to look at the slightly closed door of the principal's office.

"Nothing, the new teacher of the college has arrived."

Hearing this, Hank's eyes lit up. Before this, he had heard the professor and Storm mention this teacher more than once, and they were all words of praise.

"Oh, is it your student that I didn't even know about?"

The next second, the door was slowly pushed open, and Xu Yue, dressed in ordinary clothes, stepped in, and what he saw was a blue beast in a black suit.

"Hank McCoy, Director of Mutant Affairs, hello."

Hank, codenamed Beast, his initial mutant ability was not strong. When he awakened, he only slightly strengthened his physique and changed his feet into the same shape as his palms.

This ability is undoubtedly the lowest level among the mutant group, but his real strength has never been his mutant ability, but his unparalleled scientific research wisdom.

The underground base of the X Academy was built by Hank. A series of black technology creations that surpass the times, such as the brain wave amplifier that amplifies the energy of the mind, the crisis training room that can build virtual reality, and the Blackbird fighter that can achieve invisibility and supersonic flight, were also independently developed by him. He is an absolute genius, proficient in biology, mechanics, genetics, biochemistry and other disciplines.

In 1962, Hank met professors, including Mystique Raven. Raven's skin that can be freely deformed greatly aroused his interest.

Therefore, he, who often felt inferior about his deformed feet, began to study Raven's blood and tissues. In a very short time, he developed a serum that could temporarily suppress his own mutation. Hank, who was overjoyed, took the results to find Mystique Raven before he could conduct human experiments, and was ready to get rid of the deformity caused by genetic mutation with her.

But because Raven had completely accepted her identity as a mutant at this time, she chose to refuse, and Hank could only inject it alone.

The initial effect of the serum was very good, and it successfully changed the deformed legs back to their original state, but the good times did not last long. Soon the consequences of the imperfect serum began to erupt. It completely activated the mutant genes in Hank's body and produced irreversible deformation.

In the end, Hank completely turned into a beast. He had luxuriant hair and a strong body. His whole body turned into the same blue as Raven. Whether it was strength, physique, speed, or reaction and jumping ability, he had obtained extraordinary enhancement.

This failure almost drove him crazy, and then under the guidance of the professor, he gradually accepted this wild version of himself, and worked with the professor to create Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth. For decades, he has been the professor's right-hand man.

Then, as the door of the government finally opened to the mutant community, he left the academy and became the Minister of Mutant Affairs. He is also the most representative mutant official at the national ruling level, the most important coordinator and voice between the two races, and has a pivotal social status.

The information about Hank quickly passed through his mind. Xu Yue looked at the blue beast in front of him, who was wild and elegant. While smiling back, he also stretched out his right hand and shook it tightly.

"Xinhuo, I'm the physical education teacher of the academy, Dr. Hank, I've heard of you for a long time."

"Haha, what I learned from Ororo is that you are much more than that. You are powerful in combat, have superb teaching methods, and are also the strategic teacher of the new generation of X-Men."

"It's just a part-time job."

When they met for the first time, the attitudes of both of them were quite friendly. After a few words of business exchanging, they stopped talking and prepared to start talking about business. Hank's sudden visit was not just to meet an old friend.

Just as he opened his mouth, the door behind the crowd was pushed open again, and a slightly provocative voice came from the door.

"Who is this fur ball?"

Everyone turned around and saw that the speaker was Wolverine Logan leaning against the door.

To be honest, compared to the Logan in the world of "Deadly Battle", the Logan in this world is completely different. He is flamboyant, wanton, and has a very provocative foul mouth, which is incompatible with the lonely and old image in another timeline.

But no matter which image it is, it is just Logan in different stages. However, for Xu Yue, compared with the old and decaying Wolverine, the current strong and arrogant Wolverine is indeed more to his taste.

The harmonious atmosphere in the principal's office was stirred up with a few obvious gunpowder smells within a few seconds of Logan's arrival. In terms of foul mouth, Logan's talent is obviously not inferior to that of a playboy who likes to wear armor.

The latter relies on extraordinary wisdom and countless wealth and capital, as for Logan, he relies entirely on powerful combat power and a steel and iron body that can never be killed.

"Wolverine, I heard you're as brave as a beast."

"Same here."

After a few words, perhaps to ease the atmosphere, Hank took the initiative to show his goodwill and praised Logan, but unfortunately Logan's mocking words "Same here" made the atmosphere completely stagnant.

Hank was sincerely praising the other party's bravery, while Logan directly pointed out that the other party looked like a beast.

The taboo in his heart was raised, and even with Hank's gentle temperament, the corners of his slightly raised mouth were instantly pulled down.

On the other side, Storm looked at Hank on both sides with a gloomy look, and Logan with an indifferent look, and after sighing helplessly in her heart, she took the initiative to change the topic to ease the atmosphere.

"Hank, Magneto will definitely come to save Mystique."

A few days ago, Mystique Raven, who belongs to the Brotherhood of Mutants, entered the National Drug Testing Bureau to steal a confidential document, but was captured by the government after failing. This special incident involving the largest hawkish camp of mutants is one of the purposes of Hank's visit to the professor at the college today.

Seeing that the topic was brought back on track by Storm, Hank also adjusted his mood, retracted his gaze from Wolverine Logan, and continued:

"He is not a problem, at least not the most urgent one."

"A pharmaceutical company has developed mutant antibodies that can suppress mutant genes. This is also Raven's main goal of sneaking into the Drug Testing Bureau."

As soon as these words came out, Logan and Storm frowned immediately, while Xu Yue and the professor, who had known about it for a long time, looked calm.

"Suppression?"

"Permanent effect, they call it the antidote."

"What's worse is that because of the sudden outbreak of the Cairo Battle yesterday, more than 100,000 civilians were killed and injured in the battle between the Egyptian army and mutant criminals. This has led to the federal government's preparation to intervene in the distribution of the antidote. They plan to promote the antidote to the whole society as quickly as possible."

Hank's faint words echoed in the principal's office. The professor glanced at Xu Yue beside him with an inexplicable expression.

Xu Yue looked at his nose and his heart, and did not speak. Instead, Logan looked at Storm across from him. Among the several people in the room, Storm was the one who recognized the identity of mutants the most.
