Chapter 1863 Still no serious title(1/2)
"What?!"
The sudden increase of voices illustrates everyone's surprise.
Their president turned out to be a mutant?
From the extent of their surprise, it seems that this matter is far more surprising than alien invasion of the earth. No, alien gods invading the earth... It's almost the same. After all, aliens are still too far away from them, but the president, well, the president seems to be a little far away.
But if you have nothing to do, the people in the Black Parliament, the Black President, are the traditions of this country. Not to mention Hollywood in the future, they already exist now.
So the president is not far away from them, at least closer than aliens.
"President Kennedy turned out to be a mutant..."
The most shocking thing among them was Moira and the CIA director. After all, they were people in the field, so the impact of this incident on them can be imagined.
Charles nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, his abilities are not easily exposed, so no one has noticed his abnormality for so long."
"If it weren't for some accident, we wouldn't have known that he would have been a mutant."
Logan next to him seemed to like to make things difficult for Eric, and calmly continued.
"The first person to discover this was Eric. After solving Shaw, he established his own source of intelligence... He found out that someone was going to assassinate Kennedy, and Kennedy was also a mutant."
"He wanted to save him, but at the scene he was disturbed by the mutant hunter, the bullet turned a corner in the air, and Kennedy died."
"And this responsibility was pushed to him."
"What?!"
Moira's voice was even louder.
"You actually assassinated the president!?"
She turned her eyes to Eric in disbelief.
Charles next to her quickly grabbed her.
"Relax Moira, relax."
"This is something that happened in the future, and it hasn't happened yet."
"And Eric wanted to save the president, but an accident happened, so he failed."
Eric naturally didn't bother to pay attention to Moira, and his expression was a little solemn... But he was definitely not worried about his infamy of assassinating the president. He probably was upset that he had not saved Kennedy.
The mutant was not saved, and his mutant compatriots were not saved... Yes, the mutant is the most important thing, and everything else can be left behind.
"Then what is his ability."
Hank listened to it for a long time. He neither stood on Moira's side and attached great importance to Kennedy, nor did he stand on Eric's side to face mutants. This matter was not as unacceptable as the sky fell.
So after listening for a long time, he found that no one had any questions about what Kennedy had.
“He can control the machinery.”
Charles explained.
"The range is not very large, but if you are prepared, it should be no problem to block the record of the birth of that card from the database of the Destiny Card Company."
In this era, although computers have not been completely popularized by thousands of households, they have also taken shape, and this is a world of mutants... Technology is even darker than normal times.
Many supercomputers have already been in the prototypes, although they are not as powerful as later generations, so it is not surprising that some companies and laboratories have computers inside.
It may be the kind of bulky one that is very heavy, one computer room and one hangar occupy most of the warehouse.
Of course, computers are still an emerging thing. Many people don’t understand professional terms, such as Raven and others, but they don’t need to understand them. Hank can understand them.
"So we have to contact all the forces we can contact, and then... cut the cards one step ahead and then engage in the final battle."
Logan said at last.
Then he turned his eyes to Eric, because if anyone here is most likely to object, then it is undoubtedly him.
"We already have a way to get that card. We don't need to attack head-on to attract attention. Just cut the card down in advance. Why do we still need a Zodiac?"
Eric asked.
Charles saw Eric's grudges and grudges with them through Logan's memory, so naturally he would not intensify this small problem.
“Getting the card is only the first step.”
Charles explained patiently.
"With cards we have hope of victory... What we ultimately have to do is to completely defeat the aliens and expel them, and there is no other choice."
Eric was silent.
After a while of silence, he said slowly.
"It sounds very consistent with your heroism, right, Charles."
As Eric, who grew up in a concentration camp, his understanding of this world and human nature may be far beyond everyone.
Although he had not had contact with Charles for long, he knew in his heart what kind of person Charles was.
He always thinks of unrealistic and innocent thoughts... There can only be one human and a mutant, and it can only be a mutant.
Eric had a premonition that perhaps one day he would part ways with Charles, but the reason why he did not leave early was to hold on to the idea that maybe, maybe Charles would choose himself.
but……
This is probably a tacit understanding. Anyway, the moment Eric saw Charles, he felt that this guy might become good friends with him.
Even if their ultimate philosophy is different.
In addition to naive ideas and ideas, Charles's other point of possession is probably the personal heroic idea, which may be what every American has, but Eric, a Jew, did not.
“Eric…”
Charles tried to persuade.
"We don't need the power of Xiao."
Eric said directly.
"We are not just missing him. Without him, we can do it."
"We would have failed without Xiao... To be honest, I don't have much hope for your plan."
He speaks outright.
“We need Shaw.”
Charles still didn't give up.
“His ability to absorb energy is valuable…we need that power.”
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Eric did not speak immediately this time... the rest of the people were also very quiet, including the new ones who joined, and were not clear about the mutant people who had the grudge between Eric and Shaw.
But although Eric didn't speak, Charles' heart was sinking. Even if Eric knew him, he knew what kind of person Eric was.
Even if you don't use his ability to explore Eric's thinking, you can know what his final decision was.
Sure enough, Eric suddenly stood up.
“I can’t accept the cooperation with Xiao.”
“That’s it.”
He didn't say much, but just stood up and left the seat directly.
"Eric!"
Moira spoke out, trying to keep Eric... In the eyes of her elite agent, the mutants are very powerful, and Eric's strength is beyond doubt.
Before the enemy is about to come, they will naturally have to unite.
And what Eric thought...
Charles comforted Moira.
"rest assured."
He whispered.
"Give me some time, I will persuade him."
Charles still has confidence in himself.
However, as soon as he was about to leave the table, he chased Eric. Logan, who had already lit a cigar again, calmly spit out the smoke ring and reminded him.
“We don’t have much time now.”
This sentence stopped Charles.
"Don't forget that the action of the Fate Card Company is during this period. We should go to the CIA in advance to make them a little alert."
Charles and Moira looked at each other.
Yes, why did the two of them forget such an important thing?
To be continued...
