"Piot, you got up so early."

In the city hall of the utopian town, Merlin met Steel Lux Piot who was helping here.

He smiled and greeted the young man.

This young man with strong body and full of philosophical muscles is one of Professor Charles’s best students. He is a very patient person. Maybe that’s why, so he also has his own job in Utopia. .

He will be responsible for reviewing the request information of mutant people from all over the world applying for entry into Utopia, and then selecting those qualified mutants from them, and sending out the invitation letter.

This is a very complicated job, but seeing Piot busy in the city hall early in the morning, obviously, he has some fun in it.

While seeing Merlin with a cane and a windbreaker walking into the city hall, Steel Lux greeted him friendly while asking:

"How have you been recently? Mr. Merlin."

"Well, it's not good."

Merlin shook his head and said softly:

"Trouble, trouble, trouble is everywhere, trouble that can never be dealt with... And I am troubled now, and I have to come to you for support."

Merlin's face was gentle, he asked softly:

"Is the professor there?"

"here I am."

Piot pointed to the top of his head, he said:

"The professor got up very early today. He is in the office on the third floor. In recent days, he has been meeting with representatives of mutants in various regions to discuss with them about the establishment of the Mutant Mutual Aid Association."

"He is really busy."

Merlin says:

"Then I won't disturb you, Piot, keep working, I'll talk to the professor."

In Piot’s friendly wave of farewells, Merlin entered the elevator, and at the moment the elevator doors closed, Icarus issued a warning on the lens in front of Merlin’s eyes.

"It is suspected that Magtron's aircraft is flying in this direction at a speed of Mach 30 and may reach Utopia in seven minutes."

"7 minutes?"

Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses. He said:

"enough."

"Ding."

The elevator reached the third floor at this moment, and the silver elevator doors slid open to both sides.

Merlin leaned on "Dracula's grave" and walked out of the elevator. At this early morning, the working hours of the City Hall had not yet arrived, so there were not many people in this post-modern office building.

Merlin walked to Professor Charles' office. He saw the laser eye Summers with red goggles on the road. He was not familiar with this guy, but the two still nodded calmly and politely to express their greetings.

It is said that Summers is the most trusted student by Professor Charles and the second leader of the X-Men. In the Xavier Academy system, he is even more trusted than Qin and Ororo.

The beautiful piano is still Summers' girlfriend.

However, Merlin once again heard that the little girl who loves gossip said that the last time Wolverine Logan lived at Xavier Talent Academy, he had some intimate contact with Qin, which made Summers very dissatisfied.

Lorna said she heard the quarrel between Qin and Summers, but Ruiwen said it was only Lorna's illusion.

Well, Rui Wen doesn't like laser eye Summers very much. She thinks this seemingly mature man is not reliable... Rui Wen said that this guy suppressed his feelings, and one day, this kind of suppressed emotions It will spew out like a wild wildfire and burn everything he cares about.

But this has nothing to do with Merlin. At least for now, it doesn't matter.

"Bang, bang"

Merlin reached out and knocked on the door of Professor Charles' office. A moment later, the professor's signature gentle voice sounded in the door:

"Come in."

Merlin took a deep breath, pushed the door open, walked into the simple office, and then reached out to close the door.

He leaned on his cane and went to the professor who was working hard, and then sat on the chair in front of the professor.

Merlin looked at Professor Charles who was bald in front of him. An indescribable sense of absurdity rose in his heart. The old man in front of him, almost everyone he had ever seen, had the best temper, the best personality, and the best "good guy" "Defined people.

But under the appearance of this good man, hidden is a soul that is walking into darkness, a soul struggling in the mud of pain.

"professor..."

Merlin leaned on "Dracula's grave" with both hands, and he said in a tone without fluctuation:

"I, have seen Magnet."

"Ok?"

The professor's actions of writing and drawing on the files on the desktop stopped at this moment, and he asked in that gentle voice:

"So?"

"and so..."

Merlin relieved, he said:

"Let it come out...I want to talk to it."

"Oh."

The professor raised his head, his face was still a gentle smile. He looked at Merlin, like a kind old man looking at a young friend, he asked softly:

"What are you going to talk to me about?"

"???

Upon hearing this sentence, Merlin's expression changed slightly.

He thought that the gentle one in front of him was Professor Charles, but now it seems that it is not...

"You have the upper hand."

Merlin says:

"It seems that even though we are alert for twelve points, we still underestimate you."

"No, don't say that."

Professor Charles moved his shoulders a bit, and he stretched out his hand to support the armrest of the wheelchair, so Shi Shiran stood up in front of Merlin, and walked to the window in a normal posture. He looked at the sun-drenched underneath. The earth, he said:

"Me and Charles are one. The differences between us are not as great as you and Magnet thought."

"Merlin, look at the city in front of me. This is everything I do for Charles. He sees it in his eyes...you may not know that he is no longer resisting because he saw it and I am doing what he thinks The right thing."

The professor looked back, his face still had the gentle and charitable smile, but this smile fell in Merlin's eyes, but it brought a little horror.

"You seem to be in a hurry..."

Professor Charles, no, he said quietly:

"Then let time be more."

He stretched out his hand, and on his wrist, there was a red armband. He tapped his fingers gently, and the world in front of Merlin suddenly slowed down, and the time with rhythm forward was like falling into a mud swamp. Of course, it is not the whole world that is slow, but the time in this office.

This should be the ability of a mutant who can absorb time and absorb time.

"Speak, why are you here."

Frantically stood by the window, the sun shining on him, and no haze was seen.

Magnett was right. The growth of the offensive was too fast. He gave Merlin the feeling that Merlin even felt a little bit when facing the hairless Supreme Master Sister.

Of course, there is only a trace of similarity.

That beautiful sister made Merlin feel like a ants, and he couldn't bring up any resistance in his heart, but in the face of a mad attack, Merlin still had the power to fight back. He was not invincible.

"I'll come to you for help."

Merlin did not conceal, and in front of a man who could see through the soul madly, concealing had no meaning other than angering him.

He says:

"You should already know that a group of unintentional Cybertrons is making waves in North Africa, and the most dangerous of them may come here in a few minutes."

Merlin took the tinder from his pocket and put it on the table. He said to the attack:

"I was originally going to ask Eric for help. In theory, he is the natural enemy of all mechanical life. But I didn't go by chance. His ability was taken away by you, so I can only come here."

"Well, there is no logical problem."

Furious attack hooked the finger, and the fire source was like an invisible hand, falling into his hand.

Playing with Tinder, he said to Merlin:

"But I'm curious, what reason are you going to convince me to join this trouble..."

"What I want to tell you in advance is that you have some misunderstandings about Magnet's ability. His ability to manipulate the magnetic field has a limit, Merlin. If it is Magtron, I can only tell you that I can't destroy it. it."

"Your understanding of the balance of all things is too shallow. Cats eating mice may seem natural to you, but when mice are too large and cats are too thin, cats will also become food for mice."

The crazy attack also seemed very calm, without much concealment, he said to Merlin:

"The Cybertrons can live to the present, which means that they must have a way to resist the magnetic field, otherwise, they will have withered among the stars. You must know that this star, full of endless secrets, can control the magnetic field. , Definitely more than Magnet alone."

Furiously stepping forward, he returned to the wheelchair. His hands were interlaced and placed on his abdomen. The tinder floated to his hand. He said to Merlin:

"Begin your persuasion, Merlin."

"I am looking forward to your persuading me... oh, right. Don’t take the lives of the mutants on this island to threaten me, even if they are all dead, I can save them... And, if you are really If you do that, Charles will be disappointed, and I..."

A grin that didn't belong to Professor Charles finally appeared on his face, and he said softly:

"I will be very angry."

"No, I won't do that."

Merlin took out a cigarette and sniffed it under his nostrils, he said:

"I invite you to help me. In exchange, I will help you hide your identity. I will assist you in advancing the process of the Mutant Mutual Aid Society. I can assure you that as long as I am still in that position, at least in the North American continent, No more large-scale attacks against mutants will occur."

"Charles will be very pleased."

Waiting for Merlin to finish talking, he said easily:

"He has another friend who knows what he is thinking about. But you see, these conditions are for me, um... not too rich, do you understand what I mean?"

Something boring and yawned, he said:

"A little more."

"How much I can give depends on how much you want."

Merlin was not too nervous. He played with the cigarette in his hand. He said:

"You have to tell me first, what do you want?"

"I need to..."

Furiously extended a finger and shook in front of Merlin's eyes, he said:

"free!"

"Ah, as expected."

Merlin rubbed his forehead with a headache, he said:

"You surely chose the most difficult one... didn't you say that you were very happy with Charles?"

"Yes, I became friends with him."

Slowly attacking slowly:

"But no matter how close the relationship between friends is, there are things that cannot be shared. We share a body and a soul. This is not really a big problem, but you know, Merlin, for a living body, Having an independent consciousness and body is the most direct and simplest proof of your existence."

"I want to prove my existence."

He said sadly:

"I don’t want to be the shadow of my friend Charles Francis Xavier in this world. I don’t want to be called Charles! Or I am called to attack, I also want to have my own name... I thought about myself Life, I also have that kind of desire, I want to be an independent...a life that really exists."

He looked at Merlin, he said:

"I only have this simple request, can you help me?"

"I want to help you."

Merlin says:

"But there are too few bodies that can carry a soul like you, and the connection between you and Charles is too close. If you want freedom, it means...Charles must die, there is another soul, maybe It is an innocent person, and will die out as a result.

"This is the trouble you have to face, Merlin. People like you should know that if you want to save the world without getting your hands dirty, that is a story that exists only in fairy tales."

Furiously tilting his head and looking at Merlin, he said easily:

"First of all, Charles cannot die."

"Second, I want to be free."

"In the end, no one knows this, including you..."

Merlin was silent.

He thought for almost a minute, and then asked:

"What I want to know is, what do you want to do after you are free?"

"Oh, Merlin, Merlin! You really are an excellent agent."

The attacking tone said madly:

"At this time, are you still worried about the order you serve? Are you worried that you have personally created a villain that destroys the world?"

"No, no, no, I won't do that, but I don't know what I want to do."

He knocked on the table and said to Merlin:

"But if you need an answer that will give you peace of mind, then I will tell you..."

"What do I want to do after I am free? That has nothing to do with you!"

Attacking with his hands on the table, he looked at Merlin with a smile, he said:

"Magtron has 1 minute and 32 seconds to reach utopia..."

"Tell me your answer, Merlin, I need your answer."

Merlin stared at the attack, and the attack also looked at Merlin. After 15 seconds of suffocation, Merlin closed his eyes and nodded:

"Okay, I promise you!"

"Very well, within 5 years...you have to fulfill this promise."

Furiously stood up from the wheelchair, he looked at Mei Lin with a slightly critical eye, then leaned over Mei Lin slightly, he said:

"If you can't do it, then I don't mind replacing it with your body..."

"And, I, Ansrat, serve you wholeheartedly..."
