章節 588: Who Would Refuse Such an Offer?
Based on their analysis, using this radar device would significantly extend Charles Xavier's sensory range, allowing him to locate mutants hidden among the population.
The authorities plan to spearhead this project, and according to Charles Xavier's thesis, the widespread application of nuclear energy in human society has led to an increase in the birth of mutants. These mutants often possess extraordinary abilities, and if not properly controlled, they could undoubtedly cause upheaval and chaos throughout society.
This is typical of official procedures. However, just as the chubby man and Charles Xavier were about to proceed with their plan, Erik suddenly approached them, speaking in a calm tone, "What if they don't want you to find them?"
Charles Xavier was delighted to see him, as it meant that Erik was willing to join their organization. Through his telepathic abilities, Charles was more aware than anyone else of Erik's immense potential.
Erik immediately challenged the chubby man, arguing that the project to locate mutants should be handled by him and Charles, without government interference. Moreover, he subtly elevated his own status, putting himself on equal footing with Charles Xavier, the founder of the organization.
The chubby man was naturally displeased. On one hand, he felt that such matters should be led and handled by the authorities. On the other, he was quite annoyed by Erik's arrogance, especially since Charles Xavier had already agreed with his viewpoint. Who did this newcomer think he was to oppose him?
However, at that moment, Charles Xavier betrayed the chubby man by glancing at him before turning to Erik and saying, "Sorry, but I agree with Erik. We'll find them ourselves."
The chubby man was stunned and stammered, asking what would happen if he disagreed.
Charles smiled faintly, knowing that he was the only telepath in the organization, and the radar device was specifically designed for him. Without him, the entire project would undoubtedly fall apart.
Seeing this, Erik, watching from outside the screen, smiled slightly. He thought to himself that although Charles was a bit naive, he wasn't completely foolish—he understood that the authorities couldn't be trusted.
There's no doubt that both Charles and Erik are mutants, and they naturally consider issues from a mutant's perspective. Moreover, the two of them already had the air of mutant leaders, making it all the more necessary for them to assert their positions. Otherwise, wouldn't they just be traitors to the mutant race?
By this point, the audience also understood that Charles and Erik represent the righteous and benevolent side of the mutants, while Sebastian Shaw represents the evil and antagonistic mutant organization. It's clear that these two sides will inevitably clash.
In the video, Charles and Erik entered the radar facility, where Raven and Hank were already present. Hank's craftsmanship was impressive, as he had managed to create this amplifier based on Charles's telepathic abilities in such a short time. Of course, it must be noted that Charles's telepathic powers were indeed formidable—no one else could have made this work, even with the amplifier.
After Hank's introduction, Charles donned the helmet, which was connected to a myriad of intricate circuits. Erik, watching from the side, chuckled and joked that Charles now looked like a lab rat. He even made light of his own painful past, where he had been experimented on by Sebastian Shaw, suggesting that he had moved beyond it. This showed that Erik had a strong mind—if he could joke about such traumatic experiences, it meant they no longer bothered him much.
Of course, that grudge still needed to be settled. Sebastian Shaw's forces were significant and had clearly established their mutant organization much earlier. Now, Charles and Erik were trying to catch up, which wouldn't be easy.
After a series of tests, the telepathy amplifier worked successfully. When Charles Xavier activated his powers, he stood still while his consciousness extended far and wide, allowing him to see distant scenes and identify the mutants among them. They would first locate them and then personally recruit them.
Erik and Charles formed a duo and set out to find mutants across the country. At this moment, the video paused, and a new question appeared on the screen:
[Among the following options, who refused the recruitment of Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier]
[A: Sean Cassidy
B: Angel Salvadore
C: Armando Muñoz (Darwin)
D: Logan (Wolverine)]
Upon seeing the question, Logan shook his head, "I'm not even from the same world as you... You can rule out option D. Pick one from A, B, or C."
Erik glanced at him and said, "Are you sure? Don't forget, Logan, you're a mutant too. Even though I hadn't met you before coming here and don't know you, we might still be living under the same sky."
Logan pointed to the A team, "They're from different worlds, as the video just showed. So, obviously, we are too. Isn't that clear enough?"
Erik thought for a moment and then raised an eyebrow, "No, there's another issue. There have been many videos and questions related to them, but when it comes to you, there was only one segment, and then it jumped to me. That's clearly suspicious."
After thinking it over, he finally waved his hand, "Trust me, the answer is D!"
Logan frowned, feeling that Erik was deliberately opposing him. He had just said D could be ruled out, and now Erik insisted on picking it. When asked why, Erik only replied with an insincere, "It's just a hunch—I have a feeling the answer is D."
Meanwhile, on the A team, Wanda and Peter Parker were also discussing their choice. To be honest, the only option they were familiar with was D; they hadn't heard of the other three. Moreover, those three hadn't even appeared in the previous video.
Wanda furrowed her brows, and Peter Parker did the same. After some thought, Peter said, "If we have to pick from A, B, or C, it's pure luck. We're only familiar with Wolverine, so let's just pick D. If it's wrong, so be it."
Both teams had a decent amount of points, so they weren't too concerned about getting this question wrong. As the countdown began, both teams quickly pressed the buzzer. The A team won the right to answer, and Peter chose D. The B team, led by Erik, also picked D. Logan snorted, "If this is wrong, you're listening to me on the next question."
Soon, the correct answer was revealed:
[Congratulations to Team A for the correct answer. Players Peter Parker and Wanda Maximoff each earn 4 points. Team B also answered correctly. Players Logan and Erik Lehnsherr each earn 1 point!]
