Chapter 3: The World of Magic
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.
I don't know how long it had been.
Professor X took a deep breath, looked at Lynn, and spoke each word deliberately.
"If my memory isn't failing me, Lynn, you are a delta-level Mutant, and you don't have any special abilities other than a higher level of brain development than ordinary people..."
With one hand, he pointed to the plan that had appeared out of nowhere on the table, and with the other hand, he rubbed his temples: "So, can you explain what's going on here?"
At the moment, he felt a slight headache.
Because he realized...
Today's conversation was definitely not spontaneous, but premeditated!
The student in front of him was guiding and controlling the rhythm of the conversation step by step!
"Magic, Professor!"
Lynn didn't hide anything. After ten years of hiding, it would be foolish to persist any longer: "This is my real ability!"
How smart is Professor X?
After thinking about it, he understood everything.
The student in front of him had been hiding his true abilities since the day he entered Xavier's School!
At that time, he was just an eight-year-old child!
The most incredible thing is that all the teachers in the academy, including the principal himself, were tricked by him!
"Magic..."
Professor X resisted the urge to activate his Telepathy Ability and hack into Lynn's brain to find out more, and said, "I don't know why you kept hiding your Ability, but since you chose to reveal it today, it must be related to this proposal?"
"Yes, Professor."
Lynn nodded.
"You seem very serious about this, indicating that you have thought this through..."
A meaningful smile emerged from the corner of Professor X's mouth: "Then tell me, how do you plan to save Mutants?"
Lynn smiled too.
He knew that this conversation had reached the most important part.
"Actually, I think both Magneto and you made a huge mistake from the very beginning: distinguishing Mutants from humans as two distinct groups."
"Mutants and ordinary people, why can't they be one and the same?"
Facing Professor X's probing eyes, Lynn spoke eloquently.
As soon as he began, his words were astonishing: "Decades ago, someone once said that the victory of struggle is to make more friends and fewer enemies..."
"But now, Mutants' situation is such that they have no friends, and the whole world is their enemy..."
"Is the reason for all of this just because of the fear and terror of ordinary people? Just because when a Mutant's super-ability goes berserk, it may cause casualties?"
"No!"
"These are just appearances!"
"The real reason is that we Mutants... have no right to speak in the world!"
Hearing the first sentence, Professor X was a bit emotional. After all, Lynn was young and naive.
Mutants and ordinary people becoming one?
Such words could only be said by a young man who had never experienced the world.
But as he continued to listen, Professor X's expression changed: "We don't have... the right to speak?"
"Yes!"
Lynn's eyes burned with intensity, and he said loudly: "Because we don't have the right to speak, when Mutants are regarded as freaks, we can't argue against it!"
"Because we don't have the right to speak, when Mutants are arrested, hunted down, and subjected to various inhumane experiments, everyone looks on coldly and even feels it's justified!"
"Similarly, because we don't have the right to speak, politicians can easily pass the Mutant Registration Act or use various methods to deal with Mutants!"
"Over time, attacking the Mutant community has become an extremely 'normal' thing!"
"This 'normal' is horrifying!"
"It not only makes the whole world hostile to Mutants, but it also makes many Mutants feel like they are monsters! That they shouldn't exist in this world! Then they give up on themselves!"
"So, before the war with humans even begins, Mutants have already lost half the battle!"
This perspective was something Professor X had never considered.
He was stunned as he listened, wanting to refute several times, but found that Lynn's words made sense and almost uncovered the root cause of the Mutants' tragedy.
And Lynn wasn't finished speaking: "Imagine, Professor, what it would be like if we had the right to speak?"
"Mutants have extraordinary power, why can't it be seen as the evolution of human genes? Why can't it be considered the grace of God? Why can't it be the sublimation of human civilization?"
"If this trend of thought becomes mainstream, who wouldn't envy Mutants? Who would shout against them?"
"At that time, those who still reject Mutants would be the heretics!"
If Professor X had seen the boys, he would have recognized Lynn's words as a bit familiar.
Unfortunately, he hadn't seen it.
But this did not prevent him from yearning for the picture Lynn described.
At the moment, the world's top psychic was undoubtedly receiving a huge mental shock.
Professor X took a breath: "Then, in your opinion, how can Mutants' right to speak be improved?"
"In the world of ordinary people, only money and power are eternal!"
Lynn spread his hands: "When we become a world-class consortium, when we control the lifeblood of the global economy, when politicians from various countries are filled with our own people, when the whole world promotes that mutant genes are the evolution of humanity, and Mutants are God's favorite..."
"At that time, Mutants will undoubtedly be the trend of the times!"
"Peace will come naturally!"
As he spoke, he picked up the plan on the table, gently handed it to Professor X, and smiled slightly: "Professor, the peace that is in our own hands is the real peace, isn't it?"
Professor X was silent for a long time.
If he still didn't understand Lynn's true intentions, he would be hitting a wall!
Indeed!
When he took the proposal and turned to the first page, it read "Establish the Mutant Consortium!"
"So, you are here... to solicit investment?"
His expression became uncontrollably strange.
A graduate of Xavier's School, who doesn't want to join the X-Men, but wants to start a business...
And wants to find the principal for investment...
He had never thought of such a thing!
At this moment, Professor X looked at Lynn, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, and inexplicably felt a sense of absurdity and confusion: "You think starting a Mutant company can become a consortium? Can control the lifeblood of the world economy? Can support obedient politicians in various countries?"
What project is so ambitious?
Are you too confident in yourself?
"This is definitely not an ordinary project..."
Lynn knew well about Professor X's doubts, so he smiled and snapped his fingers again.
"Welcome to the world of magic, Professor!"
