something wrong!Absolutely wrong!

Wearing contact lenses and having his head bandaged tightly, William Stryker fell into deep thought after walking out of a well-known company.

This was the fourth person he visited today. Like the previous ones, the attitude of this big businessman who had originally vowed to support him became ambiguous today. When Stryker asked him for investment, He started pushing back and forth, talking about him left and right.

When he visited the first businessman, Stryker thought he was worried about money and was afraid of losing his investment. However, four people in a row were in similar situations, so it was impossible not to attract his attention.

Someone is targeting me!

William Stryker did not expect that these people, like himself, would awaken the X gene overnight and become the mutants they hated. He just thought that because of public opinion, his enemies and those who were deceived by mutants, The guy who began to sympathize with mutants was secretly causing trouble and winning over his favorite collaborators.

It is said that Stryker is also unlucky. Although his collaborators have become mutants, they have not changed much in appearance. Only Stryker himself has mutated.

Kraft originally thought that if he only targeted Stryker's collaborators, Stryker would probably notice that something was wrong, but he didn't care about Stryker finding out about it. Anyway, he would soon do it. If there is a global evolution, it doesn't matter whether it is discovered or not.

It can only be said that Stryker's luck is really bad, and he has encountered such a small probability.

And after this secret operation, Kraft discovered that these people are not the same as Stryker. The reason why they oppose mutants and support Stryker's human experiments on mutants is basically because of their interests. .

For example, some members of Congress rely on opposing mutants to gain votes, and some businessmen position their products as anti-mutant lines. Naturally, they have to denigrate mutants in various ways.

A small number of people in the military are wary of the power of mutants. Their ideas are similar to those of SHIELD and General Ross, and they want to take this power into their own hands.

There are even many people who are against mutants because they have no superpowers and are envious and jealous.

Therefore, after they discovered that they had become mutants, they did not continue to fight against mutants like Stryker, but quickly changed their stance. Some who were inconvenient to change their stance quickly began to leave room for themselves.

In this way, it is naturally impossible for these people to support Stryker's experiments to persecute mutants. What if their mutant identities are exposed one day?

Isn't the current public opinion environment sympathetic to mutants very good?

Several opposition congressmen even began to consider whether to create an image that was touched by the exposed materials and opposed Stryker's support for mutants to gain votes.

William Stryker, who didn't understand all this, didn't give up yet, and continued to visit his former collaborators one by one. Unfortunately, the attitudes of these people were all the same, and some even rejected Stryker directly. None of them were seen.

"It's not right! It's absolutely not right!"

After visiting the last person, Stryker still found nothing. He felt that this could no longer be achieved by simple coercion and inducement. It was impossible to get so many people to change their stance at the same time in such a short period of time.

unless……

They have been brainwashed!

Stryker, who had often used this move before, thought of this first.

And he also clearly knew that there was a mutant who could indeed achieve this kind of large-scale brainwashing.

That is Charles Xavier, known as Professor X, the leader of the dove mutants and the most powerful psychic currently known.

As for why Professor

Normally, there was nothing wrong with Stryker's speculation, but what he didn't expect was that Professor X's mother's heart was not much worse than his hatred of mutants.

With Professor X's character, he would rather brainwash mutants than attack ordinary people.

To ordinary people, the more mutants like Professor X, the better. But to mutants, he is the ultimate cheating teammate.

"Do you think you can stop me like this?"

Stryker showed a sneer. The exposure of the Lake Alkali base taught him a lesson. Sometimes using public opinion can have unexpected effects.

So Stryker anonymously contacted some media people who were famous for making up nonsense, and vaguely broke some content to them.

The main thing was to reveal to them how powerful Charles Xavier's abilities were, and how much he could achieve with the help of his brainwave enhancer.

Then he vaguely mentioned that the current public opinion is very abnormal, and there is almost no official opposition...

This is not in line with the national conditions of the United States at all!

When the media person who originally thought it was another Onion News heard this sentence, it suddenly dawned on him.

What this person said makes so much sense!

What kind of moral character do the American officials and media have? Don’t they, who are in the media business, not know?How come someone who used to find a way to come out with a few words of scolding became so consistent in his treatment of mutants?

There must be something wrong here!

A group of media people who made their fortune by fabricating news suddenly felt a sense of professional honor. Based on Charles Xavier's ability and the recent strange trend in public opinion, they concocted articles on conspiracy theories and published them.

In fact, Stryker's speculation was not wrong. Although Charles did not brainwash the official officials, the officials still had some scruples about Charles' ability. In addition, they were shielding Stryker, so they did not intend to do anything like this. Go stimulate Professor X again.

In addition, Kraft asked Angela to exert some control over public opinion, which led to most media getting wrong data and thinking that only by publishing articles sympathetic to mutants can they earn traffic and money. This is why the current situation occurs. Public opinion is one-sided.

In fact, as long as Stryker waits for a while, the official will take action to cool down public opinion. However, Kraft's actions were too fast, and Stryker is not familiar with the operation of public opinion, so this misunderstanding occurred. .

"Professor! Something big happened!"

When Professor X was worrying about what Magneto was doing in hiding, he saw Storm rushing into his office screaming.

Before Charles could ask, Storm placed several of today's newspapers in front of him.

After reading the front-page headlines of these newspapers with a solemn expression, Professor X immediately picked up the phone and started contacting officials close to mutants.

However, after several phone calls, Professor X’s expression became more solemn.

Because the attitudes of those officials who once supported mutants have obviously changed, Charles guessed that they were affected by public opinion.

Actually it is not.

Like those officials who oppose mutants, most of these officials who support mutants do not choose to cooperate with Professor X because they sympathize with mutants.

To be precise, the official attitude as a whole is wary of mutants, but some people advocate gentleness, while others are more radical.

And these gentle officials suddenly discovered that many of the radical officials seemed to have changed their attitudes and positions recently.

Originally, they didn't pay much attention to it, they just changed their stance. It was commonplace for people like them.

However, after recent public opinion mentions, they discovered that the situation does not seem to be that simple, because those who changed their stance were once very tough opposition parties.

Without the influence of any special circumstances, this transformation seems too unnatural.

Now the conspiracy theories in the newspapers seemed very credible, but the targets of brainwashing were not themselves, but their former opponents.

"I have to go talk to Eric!"

Although Professor

So he decided to have a good talk with Magneto. For this reason, Professor Charles did not hesitate to use a brainwave enhancer to forcibly read the memories of Magneto's supporters.

But when Professor Charles put on a brainwave enhancer and began searching for mutants around the world, he suddenly discovered that the number of mutants in the United States suddenly increased dramatically.

Charles curiously checked their identities and found that these new mutants were actually officials and wealthy businessmen who had opposed mutants. One of them was even William Stryker, who was currently unemployed at home.

"Could it be that... Eric succeeded?"

Professor Charles thought of Senator Kelly who turned into a puddle of water in front of him.
