Chapter 982: The Senator Under Attack, the Flying Fish That Slipped Through the Military Experiment

"A speech." Jean chuckled and said, "Hank helped organize it. It explains to people what mutants are, hoping to reduce the prejudice against mutants."

"What a waste of time." Aaron said speechlessly, "The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can't move it."

"The result was not very good. I spent more than half a month preparing the materials and carefully delivered a lecture for more than an hour on the stage, but I became a background board for Congressman Kelly to enhance his reputation."

"Are there any other congressmen participating?" Aaron opened his mouth in confusion, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't know what to say.

"We have to pick a few who have a say in politics!"

“Then can’t you pick a few politicians who are friendly to mutants?

Even if you can't use this opportunity to win people's hearts during such an important speech, you can't send someone to sabotage it!"

"But this speech is held to oppose the Mutant Registration Act. If I can't convince the supporters of the bill, then even if my speech is successful, it won't mean much."

"But the result is that you are playing the lute to a cow." Aaron sighed helplessly, looked at the lute with some heartache and said: "Most politicians cannot be moved by words, only interests can move them.

Money, power, prestige and fame are what they want. No matter what you do, as long as it does not bring them benefits, they will not waste time, energy and resources to support you.

But as long as it is in their interest, they will find ways to support you even if what you do is wrong.”

Qin's pupils trembled slightly. She was aware of this bloody reality, but she still had some expectations for this society.

"Even if I can only convince one person, my efforts will not be in vain."

"But it still doesn't make any sense. The relationship between humans and mutants won't change because of the attitudes of one or two people."

"Please don't be so discouraging, okay?" Qin said resentfully.

"I just want you to understand that your so-called efforts are of no consequence.

So quit the X-Men and stay as far away from those inexplicably dangerous missions as possible. All you have to do is stay in this school and teach and educate people with peace of mind.

This way, when an avalanche occurs someday, I can protect you, the snowflake."

Qin blinked slightly in confusion, then sneered, "You are so... so cute."

"I'm serious, Jean."

"I know, but I really can't quit the X-Men for the time being."

Hearing this, Aaron's heart tightened for a moment, but then he figured something out, "I won't quit for now, does that mean I will quit in the future?"

"Let's wait until the next generation of X-Men is trained! At least I can't just leave at this stage."

"I understand, I know, I understand." Aaron's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, he smiled, hugged Qin and gave her a big kiss.

It was worth all his earnest words. As long as Jean planned to "retire", he was sure that he could pull her out of the bottomless quagmire of mutants.

"What about you? What have you been doing during this time?"

"It's nothing, I just adopted a homeless, helpless and pitiful...girl." Aaron said with a dry laugh, trying his best to make his tone sound calm.

Qin's expression changed slightly, and her tone became more playful, "Girl? How old is the girl?"

"Uh...early twenties."

"is it beautiful?"

"Ah this..."

"Your hesitation tells me the answer. She is very beautiful, isn't she?" Qin looked at him with a smile, "Then why did you come to see me? Shouldn't you be happy when I'm not around?"

"Um...you misunderstood. I can explain."

"No, no need to explain. I'll know later if it's a misunderstanding or not." Qin said angrily and amusedly, "Forget it, just explain it!"

......

A very ordinary floating island in the ocean. The base of the Brotherhood of Mutants is built on a steep cliff.

In the deep cave, Congressman Kelly, wearing a suit and tie, sat on an iron chair in fear, his hands and feet were locked.

Standing around him were three mutants: the naked blue-skinned Mystique, the hairy and wild-looking saber-toothed tiger, and the toad with strange pupils squatting on a rock.

As a congressman who supports the Mutant Registration Act and has been spreading the word about the dangers posed by mutants, he is filled with despair about his current situation.

Whoosh!

The toad suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a several-meter-long tongue, which caught a bird chirping on a dead tree and pulled it into its mouth.

Ugh~

Watching the toad chew the bird into pieces and swallow it into his stomach in a few bites, he suddenly felt nauseous and turned his face away quickly, wanting to vomit but unable to.

"Toads have nasty tongues, Senator." Magneto Eric walked out from the depths of the cave, "Just like you."

"Who are you? Where is Henry?"

"Mr. Gary has been dead for some time, Senator.

But I have asked Mystique to accompany you, and she has many forms."

"No matter what you do to me, you will prove that what I say is right. Every word I say will be verified." Kelly said bravely, but in a timid manner.

He hadn't expected that the mutants would dare to attack government officials. Now he just hoped that these people would be a little more cautious and not take his life.

Eric and Mystique smiled at each other, "Are you a God-fearing person, Senator?

This is such a strange statement, I have always viewed God as a mentor, bringing light, wisdom and understanding.

I think what you're really afraid of is me, me and my mutant brothers."

"This is actually not surprising. Humans are always afraid of things they don't understand." Eric walked forward, pulling the steel chair that Kelly was sitting on, and stopped only when he placed him in the middle of the road.

"Well, don't be afraid of God, and of course, don't be afraid of me, Senator." Eric walked to the end and looked at the two one-meter-long silver-white iron pillars in the elevator with deep meaning, "No need to be afraid anymore."

"What are you going to do to me?"

“Let’s put it this way!” Eric said as he boarded the elevator and ascended. “God works too slowly.”

Snapped!

When he reached the top, Eric placed his hands on the iron pillar.

Driven by magnetic force, two metal rings began to rotate around him.

As the speed increased, Eric's face twitched violently in the magnetic field, as if he was whipped by a hurricane.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably. It was obvious that his actions were not very friendly to him, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

After a few seconds, a silvery-white light emanated from the top of the device.

These silver lights formed a chaotic spherical light shield, which enveloped Eric and spread outward with him as the center.

The darkness in the cave was dispelled instantly, and the silvery-white light shone on everyone. The three mutants, Mystique, Sabretooth, and Toad, did not feel anything, but Congressman Kelly, as a human, seemed to be in great pain and could not help but scream.

......

The light in the body scanner slowly lit up, and Logan blinked in resistance, but for the sake of his own past, he endured the discomfort and waited for the scan to be completed.

Soon, a different image of a human skeleton appeared on the screen outside. Qin, wearing a white coat, looked at the test results and her expression was filled with surprise.

"This metal is adamantium, it should be indestructible." She pointed to the skeleton image on the screen, unable to hide her astonishment, "It was surgically implanted throughout his skeleton."

"How could he survive such a procedure?" Ororo asked in disbelief.

“With his mutation, he has unknown regenerative abilities that allow him to heal quickly.

This also makes his age impossible to determine. "Jin said, and suddenly thought of something, "He may be older than you, Professor."

"Who did this to him?" Scott asked.

"He doesn't know, he has amnesia and doesn't remember anything about his life before this happened."

"It's not unheard of to experiment on mutants, but I've never seen anything like this before." Charles said in a deep voice, his tone more serious than ever before.

"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg." Aaron said inappropriately, and then looked at Qin seriously, "Now you know why I told you so much?

The obvious example is right here, and I am really afraid that something like this will happen to you one day."

"As long as Jean is in school, this will never happen. But if I go with you, that may not happen." Scott said sarcastically.

"Naive and ignorant." Aaron said with disdain, "On the contrary, if she comes with me, such a thing will never happen. But if she stays in this school, that may not happen."

"Professor, your telepathic abilities might be able to help him..."

"Telepathy is not omnipotent." Charles said helplessly, "I can know what he is thinking, and I can control his thoughts, but his past...

He buried it deep in his memory, and he himself didn't even know where.

Even if I have the key to unlock that memory, I still have to find the lock first!"

"You are the one who failed at the critical moment." Aaron said bluntly, "You can't even cure your amnesia."

"Can you cure it?" Scott smiled provocatively, "I remember you are a pharmacist, curing amnesia shouldn't be difficult for you!"

"It's easy." Aaron smiled easily, "But why should I help him?"

"If you don't, just shut up."

“It’s not that I can’t do it. People who know me know that I have professional ethics.

To put it simply, we don't accept freeloaders.

I can help him recover his memory, but I can’t do it for nothing!

But if you are willing to help pay for his medical expenses, everything is fine."

"Aaron, you..." Qin frowned, "It's not appropriate!"

“I’m not running a charity. If they are my own people, I won’t charge them a penny. If they are acquaintances, I don’t mind giving them credit.

But this person is a complete stranger to me. I don't even have any feelings for him, so I can only talk about interests.

Besides, I don’t know if he was a bad person in the past, so I won’t feel any psychological burden if I take money to do the job.”

Oh!

As soon as he finished speaking, a steel claw suddenly stretched out from the machine.

With a burst of sparks, the round iron door fell down, and Logan, with his upper body naked, crawled out of the scanner.

"How much do you want?"

Aaron raised an eyebrow and then raised a finger, "This number."

"one million?"

"Dollars."

"Too greedy!"

"This is the cost. If you are not satisfied, you can choose not to receive treatment." Aaron smiled faintly, walked to the screen and tapped the human skeleton scan. "And forgetting the past doesn't seem to be a bad thing for you. This picture alone means that your past was full of suffering, and your enemies are even more..."

"Tsk!" Aaron stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "To be honest, I sympathize with you, but if I were you, I would take the initiative to escape from the memories of the past.

But don’t get me wrong, this is not fear, it’s just that I simply don’t want the tragic experiences of the past to affect my happy life now and in the future.”

"Do you know who my enemy is?" Ron asked coldly.

"Adamantium." Aaron said meaningfully, "Your bones are all adamantium.

As far as I know, this thing is one of the hardest metals on earth. It is much harder than ordinary metals and can even withstand temperatures of hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius.

The production process of Adamantium alloy is very complicated, and the raw materials are very scarce. The only people who know the synthesis method are..."

"Only who?"

"The military." Aaron looked at him with amusement and said, "I don't rule out the possibility that other organizations also know the secret formula of adamantium alloy, but your bones are worth at least several million US dollars, and the military is probably the only one with such resources and strength."

“So Logan, you are most likely a military experiment.

The experiment went out of control and killed people throughout the experimental base. As for your memory..." Aaron pondered for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have received a heavy blow to the head."

"His skull is also adamantium," Ororo interjected.

"Of course, ordinary weapons can't hurt him, but what if it's made of adamantium?

Bullets made of adamantium alloy, one shot to the head."

boom!

Logan heard the sound of metal collision in a trance, and a silver bullet seemed to hit his forehead at close range.

He staggered slightly, and when he came to his senses he realized that vague fragments of memory flashed through his mind.

“It’s true, you’re right.

I couldn’t see the man clearly, but he was wearing a military uniform.”

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers, "Shouldn't there be applause at this time?"

"Can you be serious?" Qin said unhappily.

"Okay." Aaron spread his hands and continued, "You were shot in the head, but your self-healing ability and adamantium skull saved your life.

Before you lost your memory, you killed him recklessly based on your body's instincts and your hatred for that person, and then you began a life of confusion for fifteen years."

"No." Logan suddenly shook his head, his pupils showing some bloodshot. "That man is still alive. I didn't kill him."

Everyone:......
