Chapitre 585: A Failed Revenge Attempt
The video on the screen paused at the critical moment of Erik Lehnsherr's revenge. The young Magneto couldn't help but curse, punching the air in frustration. He then glared at the new question:
[Can Erik Lehnsherr kill Sebastian Shaw on this ship and exact his revenge?]
[A: Yes
B: No.]
Erik took a deep breath and squeezed out his words through gritted teeth: "The answer is A. It has to be A!"
Logan Howlett raised an eyebrow, "You should think it through calmly."
The seemingly reckless Wolverine had been played around earlier in the video, but that didn't mean he was a fool. He had a beast-like sharp intuition, though William Stryker, as a hunter, was more cunning and treacherous, exploiting Wolverine's weaknesses and carefully chaining him up.
In fact, Logan Howlett had a different opinion about this question. His intuition told him that B seemed more likely to be the answer. Since they had seen each other's private videos, Logan reluctantly accepted Erik Lehnsherr as a teammate, hence his attempt to advise him.
"No, it must be A!" Erik Lehnsherr's bloodshot eyes looked at him coldly. "Just like before, listen to me."
At this point in time, Erik was not yet the calm and composed Magneto of the future. His obsession and wish to avenge his mother clouded his judgment, making him stubbornly choose the option he desired, ignoring any advice.
Logan Howlett rolled his eyes, "Suit yourself."
On the other side, Team A's Wanda and Spider-Man were also discussing their choice. With only A and B to choose from, it wasn't hard to decide. Spider-Man rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "The answer should be B. This question has some prerequisites; the scene must be on the ship... I feel that Erik is likely unable to get his revenge."
Wanda nodded, "Alright, let's go with your choice."
Peter Parker scratched his nose, "Honestly, his experience is quite sympathetic, but I believe it's important to uphold certain principles, especially for those with extraordinary abilities. If they don't restrain themselves, they could easily lose control... just like how Silver Fox didn't kill that despicable colonel in the end. She did well."
Though young, Spider-Man had matured considerably due to the impact of this Quiz game. If he was once confused and lost about the future, he now understood the meaning of responsibility and knew the path he needed to take.
Wanda glanced at him, "Your thoughts align with a certain bat-themed hero, but I don't agree. Self-imposed shackles are often used by enemies to inflict greater harm on you!"
Peter raised an eyebrow, about to argue, but then the countdown for answering began. They had no time for further debate and hurriedly pressed their answer buttons. Erik Lehnsherr was equally quick, securing the right to answer.
Erik Lehnsherr followed his impulsive choice and picked A, while Peter Parker chose B. Soon the countdown ended, and the correct answer was revealed:
[Team B answered incorrectly. Players Erik Lehnsherr and Logan Howlett each lose 4 points; Team A answered correctly. Players Peter Parker and Wanda Maximoff each gain 1 point!]
"Shit!" Erik Lehnsherr punched the air again, his face red with anger as he glared viciously at the screen, unable to accept the result.
Though the countdown ended, no immediate answer video was shown. Instead, a new question appeared:
[Among the following options, who saved Erik Lehnsherr's life?]
"A: Charles Xavier
B: Moira MacTaggert
C: Raven
D: Sebastian Shaw.]
Erik frowned deeply, then took a deep breath. If this question was linked to the previous one, it meant not only had he failed in his revenge, but he had nearly died. Had all his years of planning ended in such a terrible defeat?
"This question... D can be ruled out first. The correct answer should be among A, B, and C." Erik suppressed his anger and frustration, forcing himself to stay calm. After a moment's thought, he added, "I think the answer is A, Charles... Despite his naivety, he is a good person."
Logan Howlett had no objections this time. He too thought Charles Xavier, based on the video's portrayal, was a good person and, importantly, a significant character compared to Raven and the agent Moira.
Soon, the countdown for answering started. Both teams quickly pressed their buttons, but Team A won the right to answer. Wanda chose A after analyzing with Spider-Man, believing Charles Xavier would likely appear during Erik's revenge attempt and save him with his strong telepathic abilities.
When the countdown ended, the correct answer was revealed:
[Congratulations, Team A. Players Peter Parker and Wanda Maximoff each gain 4 points; Team B also answered correctly. Players Erik Lehnsherr and Logan Howlett each gain 1 point]
After this round of Quiz, the screen finally started playing the video. Erik focused intensely, his eyes unblinking, waiting to see how his future self messed up the revenge attempt.
In the video, Erik Lehnsherr, after some preparation, swam towards the yacht and soon boarded the ship. Without much effort, he found his target on the deck. Sebastian Shaw was with two companions. Seeing Erik's sudden appearance, the two companions were nervous, but Sebastian Shaw remained calm, smiling as he greeted Erik.
Erik stayed silent, slowly approaching. Just as he was about to act, the blonde beauty beside Shaw suddenly turned pale and exclaimed, "He's here to kill you!" She then used her ability to invade Erik's mind.
Her power was similar to Charles Xavier's, capable of controlling others' minds to some extent and attacking them on a mental level.
