Qin and Ororo have been very busy in recent days. They have been making connections with their mutant friends who have not been caught in the outside world. They have visited almost all their friends in X Academy, hoping to bring Professor X and Cyclops together through conventional means. Wait for someone to rescue you.
The effect is more or less effective. After all, there are still many people who have been favored by Charles, but more "friends" are vague and ambiguous.
Their excuses for rejection were all consistent. Professor
The Brotherhood of Mutants is responsible for offending people, while the X-Men take the opportunity to save people and use it to do favors.
They are now very suspicious that the troubles they encountered were all caused by mutants. If there were no mutants, maybe everything would go smoothly for them.
Qin and Ororo were so busy talking about this that they failed to rescue Professor X and others. Even the whereabouts of those children are unknown, and they don't even know which prison they are in.
They have no idea that those people are now in Stryker's research base and are being used as experimental animals. Otherwise, I'm afraid they would be even more anxious.
But Professor
"Qin, should we ask Master for help?" Ororo asked hesitantly.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin shook his head and said, "It's better not to do it. You saw what happened that day. He was merciless and didn't care that he was in the middle of the city and there were civilians everywhere around him."
"Although I haven't heard that he is wanted by the federal government, I must be very wary of him. We are now suspected by the federal government of colluding with terrorists. If we are involved with him again, it will be more difficult to rescue people."
"Moreover, there were more than a dozen mutants who died in the aftermath of the battle that day. I don't even know now how I will explain to Professor X and others when they come back."
"We are not the same person as him. He is a person like the original Magneto, who regards human life as nothing. We should try our best to keep a distance from him in the future."
Ororo sighed and asked, "How's it going with the lawyer? Is there any news?"
"The military refused to disclose the relevant situation on the grounds of being suspected of being terrorists. However, with the help of the Children's Rights Protection Foundation, the military has softened slightly and may be able to release the children soon."
Ororo breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Thank God! Fortunately, there has been some progress, otherwise I would always feel like I was doing useless work. Only now do I know how difficult it is to teach them!"
While the two were talking, a phone call suddenly came in.
"It's Lawyer Olmo. There may be news."
Qin answered the phone, said a few words, then immediately hung up the phone and got up and walked out.
"The military has asked the Children's Rights Protection Foundation and Lawyer Olmo to go there. They may have allowed visits. Let's go and take a look."
The two drove to the Pentagon and entered a conference room, where military representatives received them.
"In order to protect the rights and interests of children, the military specifically allows you to conduct a briefing on the situation. However, considering your safety issues, the military provides video recordings instead of live conversations."
Jean protested: "They are all children, there won't be any safety issues when we meet."
"Whether there is a safety issue is up to you. I have a risk assessment report provided by relevant experts. You can check it at will. In addition, here is a list of soldiers who were killed or injured during the capture."
The military representative casually threw over a stack of thick paper documents, and Qin could guess what the final conclusion was without even looking at it.
"You can't measure their daily status by their resistance when they are threatened." Ororo was very dissatisfied with his words.
"We are responsible for the safety of the staff of the Children's Rights Protection Foundation present." the officer said calmly.
Qin was just about to say something more, but was stopped by lawyer Olmo, who reminded him in a low voice: "Let's take it step by step, there's no rush."
Qin had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in her heart and sat down.
Seeing that no one had any objections, the officer reached out and pressed the remote control, and a little girl appeared on the big screen.
She was sitting on a chair, dressed casually, and holding a doll in her hands. Looking at the background, it's somewhere outdoors in a garden.
"Is this a child from your college?" a staff member from the Children's Rights Protection Foundation asked in a low voice.
Ororo replied in a low voice: "It's Emily!"
The staff nodded and continued to look at the big screen.
The little girl in the video began to speak aloud: "Hello everyone, I am Emily Hughes, I used to live in X College."
"I'm a mutant."
"My abilities are very dangerous."
Hearing Emily's words, Qindu Ororo frowned. This was not like what Emily said.
"When my emotions fluctuate, a large number of spatial cracks will appear in the surrounding environment, and people or objects within this range will be cut into pieces."
"Fortunately, I was found by my uncles from the army and they took me to this nursing home."
"Now I eat well, sleep well, live a leisurely and safe life, and will not threaten other humans."
"My uncles in the army are still helping me find drugs to treat this dangerous ability. After I recover, I can return to society."
"But I can't control my abilities freely right now, and I can't leave here."
After saying these words, there was a sudden fluctuation around Emily, some space cracks appeared in front of her, the screen shook for a while, and then went black.
The officer came up to the stage and said to everyone: "Fortunately we didn't meet in person, otherwise you would have been cut into pieces."
Qin was shaking all over, stood up and shouted loudly: "You are forcing a child to lie in front of everyone! How shameless!"
Ororo was also furious and said in a stern voice:
"Although Emily is a little girl, she has never liked dolls. She likes Transformers!"
"Moreover, mutants have never been a disease, and Emily will never say anything stupid about treatment."
"The last space crack was not due to a loss of control over her abilities. She usually controls her abilities very well, and her companions around her have never been harmed by her!"
The officer glanced at the two of them and said lazily: "I chose the wrong toys for the children. It was a mistake by the nursing staff in the nursing home. I will report it to the nursing home later."
"It's useless for you to tell me whether mutants are a disease or not. You should talk to a doctor."
"Her companions were not harmed by her abilities because her companions were all freaks. We ordinary people can't stand this."
