Chapter 225 History and Change
In Westchester County, in front of the gate of the Xavier Genius Children's School, an orange taxi parked here, and a tall and handsome young man walked out of the taxi...
"Huh~ I finally arrived, it's really troublesome to take a bus." A muttered, the young man paid for the bus and walked to the school's black characteristics gate.
"I'm Hodge, look for Professor Charles." He reached out and pressed the caller at the door. Hodge looked at the surrounding environment while quietly waiting for the people inside to come out.
This place is very remote. Not far from Hodge's left is a sparse woodland. Through the walls built by red bricks and the woodland, Hodge can vaguely see an old house that covers an area and is actively occupies a huge land.
On the right side of Hodge are forests, and the forest is connected to some low hills. Hodge used his ability to see a huge Hubo in the center of the forest. The lake water is extremely clear, and a faint water pattern appears as the breeze blows, radiating a comfortable light in the golden sunlight.
Seeing this scene, Hodge couldn't help but urge to get a tent there and play for two or three days.
While sighing at the scenery here, Hodge reluctantly retracted his gaze and turned to look at the black iron gate. In the gravel path inside the iron gate, a man wearing a black leather jacket with hair standing upside down like a steel needle, and a vicissitudes of his body was walking towards him with steady steps.
"Hey, Logan, you're finally willing to organize your hairstyle." Seeing Logan, Hodge waved his hand and smiled.
"There's no way. I don't pay much attention to my image now." Logan shrugged disregardably at Hodge's teasing, and then opened the door for Hodge.
"By the way. When did we meet last time?" Logan suddenly asked when he led Hodge into it.
"Yesterday." Hodge looked at Logan with a thoughtful look on his face and said nothing more.
"By the way, what's the matter with you looking for me? Charles always hides his words, and you only spoke halfway through yesterday."
"Do you believe what I said? I come from the future." Hearing Hodge mentioning today's main purpose, Logan asked, and his expression changed from indifferent to seriousness.
Hodge narrowed his eyes and pondered: "Although you can't tell me what I will be like in the future, I think some things still need to be prepared in advance."
Seeing Hodge's half-believing and half-doubted, Logan sighed in his heart, but it was not a big deal for Hodge. After all, he had to make him believe in himself and also had to come up with some evidence that would make him believe in him.
Unfortunately, he really doesn't know what Hodge is doing twenty years later, nor where he is.
But now he doesn't need to think about this matter. He has explained the cause and effect of all the matter to the professor, and the explanation is very clear.
After all, he had let the professor use his abilities to enter his brain and read all his memories.
"Okay, believe it or not, after seeing Professor Charles, I think you will believe what I said." Logan sighed depressedly, and then stopped saying anything to Hodge, speeding up the speed under his feet.
Looking at Logan with a depressed look, Hodge grinned and followed. Hodge actually believed Logan's words, but the story line seemed to be a bit problematic. Because in Hodge's memory, the time of this incident should have happened was higher, but now it has come to this point in time.
"It seems that the flapping of my butterfly wings is a bit too strong." Hodge said intimately.
Following Logan in a circle of twists and turns, it took about five minutes to see Professor Charles, who looked kind in a room similar to a study.
Wearing sunglasses beside the professor, the energetic Cyclops and the haggard Qin-Grey.
"Where is Ororo?"
As soon as he entered the door, Hodge unexpectedly did not find the silver-haired woman and couldn't help but ask.
"Storm Girl is going to teach the children." Charles said with a smile in his wheelchair.
"Oh! Then what's wrong with you looking for me? I'm very confused now." As for the Storm Girl, Hodge just asked casually. After getting the answer, Hodge nodded and went straight to the point.
“That’s how it is.”
Seeing that Hodge began to talk about things seriously, Professor Charles also began to become serious: "In twenty years, a robot called the "Sentinel" will appear."
"This robot is powerful, we don't know who made it, but it targets superheroes and mutants. Whether that person awakens or not, this robot can identify whether the other person contains the 'x' factor from the human body and then erase it."
"Robot? Can that kind of thing fight us?" Before Hodge could ask a question, the Cyclops standing beside Professor Charles spoke, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Don't underestimate them, Scott." Charles shook his head with a serious look on his face and continued: "They are not ordinary robots. They are made of a special synthetic material. We do not know this material at the moment, but the only thing we know is that they can change themselves at will, and choose restrained abilities to fight when facing mutants of different abilities."
"Restraint!" Cyclops was startled, then asked back: "I'm curious how they are going to restrain me? I'm going to dig my eyes while I'm sleeping?"
Apart from Professor Charles and Logan, Hodge and Qin were stunned for a moment. Obviously, they could not think of any ability to restrain Scott's Cyclops for the time being.
Regarding the problem of Cyclops, Professor Charles did not speak, but turned to look at Logan. His dark pupils were a little complicated.
"Scott, tell you a sad news that in Logan's memory, you'll die in two years."
Charles' tone was heavy, making the Cyclops look pale. Qin, who had not spoken aside, became nervous, and looked at the professor he had always respected in disbelief.
Seeing his two students looking at him with a nervous look on his face, Professor Charles raised his lips slightly and changed his tone: "But you are very lucky."
Seeing everyone looking at him with confusion, Charles didn't tuck it in and explained to everyone: "To put it bluntly, the cause of all this is because of me. If it weren't for me, Scott wouldn't have happened."
"Impossible!" The first person to stand up and refute was Scott himself. He respected Professor Charles very much and very much. He did not believe that Professor Charles would be the cause of his death.
"Don't be excited, child." Looking at the excited Cyclops, Charles shook his head and continued, "Have you noticed that since he stopped Magneto on Freedom Island, Qin has been something wrong?" Professor Charles said, looking at Qin with a haggard face.
"I just think..." Seeing that the topic seemed to turn to him, Qin quickly shook her head.
"Actually, after Magneto successfully launched the gene mutation, the power in your body that has been sealed by me has awakened. I originally thought you would slowly absorb that terrifying force and finally catch up and surpass me."
"But I was wrong." Professor Charles was slightly lost when he said this, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
"Since I read Logan's memory, I found that your power grew rapidly because of something in my hand. If Logan did not 'come back', then history will follow his memory step by step."
"But now, we need to change a little." Charles sighed deeply, his expression was not abnormal, and he turned to Hodge and said, "Please follow me, I think you will be very interested in something in my hand." (To be continued...)
