I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 11: Precise Calculation

Indeed, the origins of all these disputes and conflicts all stem from a carefully planned layout by Magneto Eric. Ever since the mutants got out of control, Li Jie has been lobbying Professor X to restart the X-Men team, which gave Magneto an opportunity.

From the moment Paul was found, Eric's plan was doomed to unfold. He knew Professor X's weaknesses and was aware of Stryker's conspiracy. As Magneto himself said:

Great undertakings are always accompanied by sacrifices, and waiting for death slowly like a frog in boiling water is tantamount to chronic suicide for mutants. He urgently needs to gather the strength of all mutants and force them to take a clear stand at a certain moment: either kneel down and wait for death, or hold on to their weapons and fight back, life and death are up to fate!

Therefore, he designed such a complex and sophisticated plan. He understood Professor X's character and also understood the true face of Stryker and the members of Congress.

He wanted to speed up these people's decision behind the scenes. He used Paul to induce Daken to kill Senator Macaulay, a pawn he had laid out many years ago. Although he was a mutant, he disguised himself as a radical against mutants.

The death of the congressman will undoubtedly cause panic within the government. And the mutant teachers in the academy will definitely not be able to hide the fact that Paul and Daken killed people. After all, they are still immature, and there are many teachers in the academy who can see through the fact that they committed crimes.

Professor X will definitely find out why these two kids want to kill people, and Paul is the most suspicious at this time. According to Professor X's usual practice, he will definitely investigate Paul. What the professor has not yet realized is that the illusion master Jason has already been rescued by Magneto. In order to carry out the plan, Mystique has been pretending to be Jason and imprisoned in the original prison instead of him. Therefore, Stryker did not realize that his son had been replaced.

The Master of Illusion was once Professor X's student, and the professor clearly remembered that the Master of Illusion was finally taken away by Stryker. So the professor naturally cast his doubtful eyes on Stryker.

Because according to normal logic, General Stryker, a radical mutant, is very likely to use the Master of Illusion's ability to control Paul to kill people, and then reveal that it was the mutants who did it, and propose new mutant management regulations when it causes an uproar in Congress.

Professor X's overall analysis was correct. After learning the news, he immediately sent the X-Men to attack Stryker's base in order to prevent Stryker's next move.

However, this time everyone was being manipulated. Whether it was the X-Men, Stryker, or the US military and Congress, at this moment, they all became pawns in Eric's hands. He cleverly sowed discord without making a sound.

A member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, Macaulay, was sacrificed, but Stryker's base was successfully destroyed, and Magneto himself did not even fire a bullet. At the same time, Stryker, who originally wanted to use this incident to moderately pressure Congress to strengthen the control of mutants, how would he respond after learning that the base was destroyed?

This strategy of Magneto can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It is very likely that Stryker was extremely angry and pushed for the passage of the mutant management bill at all costs.

The most crucial point is that Professor X, who originally represented the moderate faction in the mutant community, played the role of executioner in this incident.

The congressman was the work of his students, and the base was the work of his teacher. If government officials still believe that Professor X is a moderate and a mutant leader who can be talked to, they are wrong.

I am afraid that when the truth comes out, all government officials will label Charles a terrorist, thinking that he is more terrible than Magneto because his radical actions are more forgiving. This is the real horror!

"Why are you doing this?" Charles looked at Magneto, his eyes filled with uncontrollable grief.

"Because of you, Charles." Eric stood and looked down at Professor X in a wheelchair. "I told you that I need to unify the power of all mutants. Only at the critical moment of life and death can our race unite and recognize what is good or bad for us!"

"But because of your existence, the existence of your school is really a hindrance. Just like my mother, you always instill harmful ideas into those mutant children."

"You let them always think that all problems can be solved by patience and friendly coexistence. You will weaken the mutants' fighting spirit. Your philosophy, your school. So you must choose the right side. And you always chose the wrong direction in the past. This time I made the choice for you. Charles, do you know what you will face from now on?"

Magneto Eric looked around the entire academy, taking a 360-degree look. "From this moment on, the days of your school's existence will begin to count down. This place should not be a safe haven for mutants, at least not at this moment. You now have only two choices, either join me or stay and witness your school and the children you care about being arrested and executed by the human government!"

Magneto's words were calm and firm. He never felt that there was anything wrong with him betting the lives of hundreds of mutant children. Great causes require sacrifice, and this sentence seemed to be deeply engraved in his bones and blood.

You can't do this, you shouldn't do this, Eric. Professor Charles' lips trembled slightly, and he muttered in a low voice. At this moment, he looked extremely desperate, as if he had aged twenty years in an instant.

His spirit, his strength, and all the support he relied on for survival were stripped away by Magneto in an instant. There was no warmth, only cold and bloody facts, so much so that Charles seemed to be able to smell the strong and lingering smell of blood.

Magneto just stared at him quietly, not eager to wait for Charles' response. At this moment, there was a slight bang, accompanied by a thin blue smoke. The mutant named Blue Devil had brought Paul out.

Paul was so excited when he saw Magneto that he didn't notice Professor Charles beside him. Charles, who witnessed all this, felt the same pain in his heart. He couldn't help but ask himself: Was everything he did in the past wrong?

Magneto looked at the dazed Charles, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips. He knew this old friend's character very well, and his evaluation of his indecisiveness was indeed reasonable.

"Charles, you have to make a decision quickly. Time is running out for you. And I'm leaving now. If you are ready to join us, come find me. You know how to find me." Charles stared at Magneto, and an impulse suddenly surged in his heart, wanting to do something.

However, Eric obviously knew how Charles would react, so he said first: "Don't even think about doing anything, Charles. You know you can't control me."

Eric patted his helmet and reminded: "You have sent all the powerful warriors available to you to attack Stryker's base. Do you think those immature mutant children can fight against me? I don't care about blood, but I don't want to slaughter mutant children."

Hearing this, Charles could no longer hold back and roared angrily: "What you are doing now is no different from slaughtering them!"

Eric looked at Charles with pity: "At least they still have a chance to choose now!"

Bang! There was another light sound, and blue smoke filled the air. Charles was left alone, lost in thought. He had lost, and lost completely!

……

At the Metropolitan Hospital in New York, when Li Jie arrived in a glider, a fire broke out in the hospital morgue.

It is difficult to tell whether the fire was an accident or caused by human beings, and whether something was intentionally hidden or destroyed. Li Jie grabbed a policeman who was using a fire extinguisher to try to control the fire and asked:

"Where is the body of Councillor Macaulay?"

"Night Walker? Oh! The congressman's body is in Cabinet B No. 51!" The police officer had obviously received a notice from George Stancy and knew that the Night Walker would come here. So he informed Li Jie of the relevant information without hesitation.

The fire in the morgue was so fierce that ordinary police officers could not rush in, and the fire extinguisher could only barely control the fire from spreading. It would take another minute and a half for the fire truck to arrive at the scene.

Even if the fire brigade arrived quickly and controlled the fire, the body of Congressman Macaulay would probably be burned! Li Jie took a deep breath without hesitation, installed a mechanical arm on himself, and resolutely rushed into the fire scene.

No matter who was behind the scenes or what their intentions were, Li Jie could not tolerate their success, because the advantages he had accumulated with great difficulty had suffered setbacks one after another.

He had finally managed to calm down the mutant issue, but now someone was ready to stir up trouble again. The world had only been quiet for a few days, and the air in Eastern Europe was still filled with the smell of sulfur, but now someone was trying to stir up trouble where he lived. Li Jie would never tolerate this!

Whether it was Thor, the god of thunder, whose plan was affected by his weight gain, or the mastermind behind this incident, Li Jie wanted to dig them out and teach them a lesson. I'm already doing my best, can't you let me take a break?

Spider-Man and George arrived at the scene a minute later. They learned from the police that Nightcrawler had entered the fire. Peter was very worried and wanted to rush in to save people. At this time, Li Jie broke out of the fire, holding a body that was not completely burned.

At least a good portion of Congressman Macaulay’s remains were still preserved!

……

When the Blackbird fighter slowly landed at the Mutant Academy, the moment the plane door opened, Scott and others saw Professor Charles who looked extremely tired.

"Professor, we met Mystique at Stryker Base. It looks like we may have fallen into a trap." Scott planned to tell everything he saw and heard at the base.

However, Professor Charles waved his hand tiredly to stop Scott from talking. "Don't say anything, Scott. Magneto just came. He told me everything." The mention of this name made all the X-Men in the plane suffocate instantly.

"Professor, what is he doing here?" Scott realized that the situation was not good. But after listening to Charles' words, he really understood how serious the matter was.

"It doesn't matter what he came here for. Now you need to act immediately and completely delete all the information of all the students. No records or clues about the students can be left." Charles' words shocked all the X-Men present.

"Why?" This is the answer that all the X-Men are eager to know.

"It's time to close this school."
