Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 327 Professor X
"Charles Xavier? Professor X!"

Although far away in the ruins of New York City, Professor X's voice was directly transmitted to Colin's mind.

Professor X has the most powerful telepathic ability in the mutant world, and the personality in front of him who claims to be Charles Xavier seems to be the same.

"Aren't you already dead?"

Colin is not afraid of Charles Xavier's ability to control his thinking. If the other party is really Professor X, and even if he does make a move, with the ability of [Super Brain Power], Colin can easily rely on this ability Impact.

In fact, although Professor X has the strongest telepathy ability, he rarely uses it in battle.

Under normal circumstances, he is more used to creating a "spiritual cage" to lock up the personalities of mutants who he does not want to harm but keeps hurting others.

Under normal circumstances, the 'mind cages' he created were extremely effective, with only a few failures encountered.

Once it was the inner personality "Dark Phoenix" of his student Qin Gray, once it was the Scarlet Witch in the Avengers, and the last time it happened to his son Daqun.

"Indeed, according to what you said, I am indeed dead."

In the face of Colin's questioning, Professor X's voice that appeared in Colin's mind did not change as it seemed, and still carried his usual gentle posture.

"Apocalypse's power is unquestionable. As one of the oldest mutants in the world, a long time has given him almost invincible power. Even I am not his opponent, let alone my opponent has never been more than There is only Tianqi alone."

In this discriminated world, not all mutants are willing to follow Professor X's position.

Many mutants are quite supportive of Apocalypse's practice of ruling the world, and are even willing to fight for it. In the process of fighting their compatriots, the X-Men have been extremely difficult.

"We were doomed to fail in this battle from the very beginning. I am not afraid of death. As a mutant, I have lived long enough and experienced enough."

"I once used the ability of 'mind cage' to try to block the personality in David's body. Although the last effort ended in failure, I accidentally left a mental imprint of mine in his heart, and accompanied by My death mark also seems to have changed, which eventually prompted me to split from David and become a special personality."

From Professor X's explanation, it's not hard to hear that he didn't show too much indignation about his death.

On the contrary, in the conversation with Colin, the other party showed more thinking about the world.

"If possible, I don't want to let David know of my existence, because it will only make him more painful. As a mutant, his ability has brought him too much suffering, and this should not be done by He took it."

When talking about the large group, Colin could clearly feel the sadness in Professor X's tone.

In this world, talent is not a blessing for mutants, on the contrary, many mutants prefer to regard it as a curse.

The misfortunes of many mutants are often caused by their unique talents.

Even a powerful mutant like Magneto had a tragic experience because of his specialness, and it was even because of this that he later developed a hostile attitude towards human beings.

In the eyes of others, Daqun's ability is undoubtedly powerful, and this kind of talent that combines countless abilities in one body is difficult for even a mutant like Magneto to match.

However, as a father, Professor X is well aware of the pain that Daqun suffers because of its overpowering abilities.

"Then why now?"

Hearing this, Colin frowned slightly.

If it is true what Professor X said, then there is naturally a reason for him to come out of the large group now.

"Since the death of Apocalypse, David has been working hard to save the world in his own way. This is destined to be a rough road, but as a father, I can't stop him, so I hope you can, when necessary, Help him so that he can successfully go back to the past and kill..."

The previous battles have made Professor X understand that if Colin cannot be prevented from making a move, then all the efforts Daqun has made for a long time will be in vain, which is why he showed up.

"Who?"

Hearing Professor X's explanation, Colin subconsciously took the group's goal of returning to the past as the apocalypse, but the answer from the other party was obviously beyond his expectations.

"I, Charles Xavier."

Under Colin's gaze, Professor X calmly said his name.

"why?"

Facing Colin's puzzled question, Professor X still explained in a gentle tone, as if the target he said to kill was not himself.

"Apocalypse's rule over the world is actually based on the fact that I have obtained my telepathic ability to connect to the world, and the only way to stop Apocalypse from completing everything is to let this ability disappear from the world, that is, my death. "

Professor X's telepathic ability is very important to Apocalypse. Although there are many telepathic abilities in the world of mutants, including the White Queen in the shelter, she also has a certain degree of telepathic power, but there is no mutant. The power of the human mind is as strong as that of Professor X.

This is why Apocalypse chose Professor X as the target. After occupying his ability, Apocalypse can continuously transmit the mutation factor to any place in the world through his ability to emit energy.

"I understand."

After listening to the reasons given by Professor X, Colin responded in a somewhat silent manner.

In addition to the reason disclosed by Professor X, in fact, there is another idea in Colin's heart.

That is, if Daqun really managed to travel through the world and return to the past as Professor X wished, preventing everything from happening, does it mean that there still existed an apocalypse holding the time gem fragments in the past.

On the timeline of the mutant time that Colin is in now, the fragments of the time gem have already been taken away by Thanos, so if Colin gets another fragment of the time gem from the past Apocalypse, then the future Will the result change? In the end, the fragment of the time gem in the hands of Apocalypse will fall into the hands of himself or Thanos.

Because the speculation is mixed with the timeline of the past and the present, even Colin cannot guess what the result is, but no matter what, this is a very challenging attempt.

This is also one of the reasons why Ke Lin is willing to promise Professor X to help him.

……

"The internal structure of the belt?"

Old castle, inside the vacant laboratory.

Colin glanced at the belt in front of him, and moved his arms quickly in the next second, drawing beautiful pictures of the mechanism on the blueprint in just a few seconds.

"So, that's why you asked Colin to help..."

On the side, looking at Colin who was drawing blueprints like a precision machine, Banner adjusted the glasses on his face and turned to Tony who was on the side.

Because of the previous battle in the shelter, the Hulk in Banner's body became a little quieter, so he had more energy to focus on the experiment in front of him.

"of course."

Nodding his head, looking at the more and more blueprints of Colin's subordinates in front of him, it was obvious that he came up with the solution, but the expression on Tony's face was still somewhat surprised.

Although he already knew about Colin's ability, Tony couldn't help but secretly marvel at the fact that the other party could do a job that required professional scanning and drawing equipment with just his eyes and hands.

"Okay, it's done."

At the same time that Tony was secretly startled, Colin in the laboratory also stopped his work, and handed over the thick stack of structural drawings in front of him to the two behind him.

"This is the end?"

Reaching out subconsciously to take the drawing from Colin, Banner said that he was still a little out of shape.

"Do you need to confirm again, after all..."

Facing Banner's proposal, Colin smiled slightly and was about to explain.

"no need."

Tony on the other side interrupted: "According to the results of Friday's scan, everything is fine, and even the details of those nanosuits that cannot be scanned are clearly presented on the drawings."

Although the infrared scanning device on the Mark50 cannot be as precise as Colin's, based on the results of the previous scans, Tony can basically confirm that there is nothing wrong with the structural drawings in front of him.

"In other words, the research can continue?!"

Hearing Tony's answer, Banner looked at the blueprint in front of him and said excitedly.

"Not only that, but with these detailed structural images, our repair of the belt will become extremely smooth, perhaps it will only take one month, no, half a month or even less, to complete the repair of the belt Work."

"Great."

Hearing this, Banner smiled subconsciously.

As a member of the Avengers, whether it is Tony, Banner or even Captain America and his party who helped the shelter find food in the mutant world, they have not forgotten their original purpose, which is to return to their world.

In the laboratory, looking at the excited two people in front of him, Colin's gaze subconsciously passed through the shelter and appeared on Daqun in New York.

The Avengers are not the only ones who have been acting.

……

Positive World, Los Angeles.

Even with the blueprint provided by Ke Lin, it will still take some time before Tony and the others officially repair the belt.

During this period, Ke Lin returned to the real world again to deal with the unfinished business in hand.

Otto Kahn's attitude has been made clear. His acquisition of Paramount is not popular. As the largest film studio in Hollywood, even though it has gone bankrupt and reorganized, it is still firmly controlled by the Wall Street capital behind it.撺 in hand.

Since Paramount's acquisition willingness is not strong, Colin will naturally not waste time on it, even though he has been preparing for Paramount's acquisition for a long time.But Paramount wasn't the only movie studio in Hollywood. Things didn't go too well for all studios during the Great Depression.

Including, Fox Films.

Inside Musso & Frank Grill, 6667 Hollywood Blvd.

It was still in the previous restaurant, but once again the guest Colin saw changed from Otto Kahn, who was in charge of the reorganization of Paramount, to William Fox in front of him.

Compared with Otto Kahn, William Fox was obviously much more haggard. The car accident and the Great Depression had a huge impact on him, and the bad prison life made William Fox a long time later. Difficult to fall asleep all the time.

Originally, he once had great ambitions to build a film empire of his own in Hollywood, but now William Fox only wants to pay back.

"As far as I know, the current situation of Mr. William Fox's Fox Film Company is not good. It has been a long time since it has produced a movie with a name."

Tasting the steak in front of him, Colin said to William Fox in a casual tone.

Hearing Colin's words, the expression on William Fox's face couldn't help but become a bit bitter, and even the steak in his mouth seemed to be hard to swallow.

"This is because of the Great Depression. The situation in Hollywood as a whole is not good. Fox Films itself does not have any problems, and the previous Fox Films has produced many excellent works, and even the Oscar level is no longer a minority. .”

Aware of the hesitation in William Fox's tone, Colin had more confidence in this acquisition, put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, he continued: "I didn't deny that Fox Films had Brilliant, but only once, the Great Depression hit the entire film industry unprecedentedly, and even Paramount declared bankruptcy because of this, William Fox, how long can your Fox Film Company last?"

While speaking, Colin raised his head and met William Fox's eyes. The latter avoided him with some guilt and quickly met him again to show his confidence.

"Fox Films' current financial report situation is as bad as expected, and even the antitrust investigation of Fox Films by the judicial department is still in progress."

This revenge method promoted by MGM has instead become a tool used by Colin to persuade William Fox.

"Even, according to the information I know, Mr. William Fox's current assets have already shrunk a lot due to the Great Depression. Under such circumstances, do you plan to continue to support the Fox Film Company?"

Colin's question about William Fox's property obviously hit him in the dark.

William Fox in the restaurant was silent for a long while before he asked Colin in a hoarse voice, "Then, Mr. Colin Luper, what is your quotation?"

　Thanks to the second child called God for the 100 starting point coin reward.
