Chapter 2629 Mayfly World (Twenty-nine)
Soon Magneto discovered that Schiller was right, because during his morning work, he found that he might not necessarily be a human, but Clark was definitely a dog.
Magneto has been rampant in the world for many years. Wherever he goes, he is majestic and famous. There are many people who want to use his fame to make profits for themselves. The first to bear the brunt are those tabloid reporters who are as greedy as hyenas.
There used to be some people who didn't know how to live or die and tried to harass Magneto by using the same methods they used to harass ordinary people. Of course, there is no need to say much about their results. Magneto never shows mercy to those who annoy him.
Later, his notoriety spread more and more widely, and many people were afraid to offend him. After many years, Magneto finally experienced the annoyance of being harassed by reporters again.
"Mr. Eric Lanshere, some people say this is your pseudonym, and they also say that you have used more than ten pseudonyms in your life, so what is your real name? Why do you want to cover up your name?"
"Sir, I saw on the news that you and Professor X have always been at odds, but I also heard that you have a good relationship in private. What is your relationship?"
"What do you think of the terrorist attacks carried out by the Brotherhood of Mutants around the world? Professor Xavier once said in an interview that this is not what he wants to see. What do you think of this comment?"
Magneto took a deep breath, formed the seeds floating in front of him into a ball, and threw it at Clark.
Clark, who was also flying in the air, dodged flexibly, then approached with a playful smile and asked, "I heard that you have been wearing a helmet to avoid Professor X's mind reading. Is there anything you are afraid he will hear? Why don't you wear it now? Have you two reconciled?"
An invisible but extremely sharp magnetic knife pointed directly at Clark's brow, and Magneto said coldly: "Shut up and work."
Clark seemed to understand the principle of alternating between relaxation and tension. He closed his mouth and began to demonstrate to Magneto how to sow seeds. Super powers can indeed make work faster. After Magneto obtained the specific data on the timing and density of sowing, countless fields were sown in an instant.
No matter how fast this stage is, one still has to wait for the seeds to grow. Magneto went upstairs to rest. After all, he was really uncomfortable. But Clark still didn't intend to give up. He continued to investigate the matter about Magneto and Professor X.
Clark could see that Magneto was tempted to take action in Mexico, but Professor X might not be so sure.
Clark didn't know the professor very well, but he knew that the gentler people appeared, the more conservative they were, and he might not agree with Magneto's ideas.
Regardless of whether they are friends or enemies, they will definitely have a significant impact on each other. If Professor X steps out to stop it at the last moment, it will be troublesome.
So Clark is eager to resolve the problems between the two of them. Bringing them together will also help the subsequent development of Mexico in this world, and will also help Oliver and the Mexico in their universe.
Clark searched for a long time and found too much information about the two people. After all, they were both old and had lived for so many years, and the amount of news they had accumulated was enormous.
Most of the recent news is about the Andromeda Galaxy. After all, this can be regarded as a grand event for mutants. Much of the earlier news is about the enrollment information of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and the activities of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
But Clark is worthy of being a journalist. He has his own method of searching for information. He firmly believes that the Internet has memory and can dig up things from the past.
Soon he found the clue of that incident. It started from a report in which Professor X talked about his relationship with another strongest mutant, saying that there had been some misunderstandings between them, and the incident happened in Maryland.
At this time, Clark decisively turned his attention away from investigating the two of them, and instead began searching for mutant accidents that had occurred in Maryland.
Another benefit of the United States' development is that basically the world's most advanced electronic equipment will be popularized in American families first. Electronic devices such as cameras, camcorders, televisions, and computers were very common in middle-class families in the last century.
Americans also have the habit of having regular family gatherings and recording videos, so even if there are not so many cameras, it is easy to capture some strange scenes with home videos. Many popular rumors about aliens and UFOs come from home videos.
Most mutant accidents were like this too, and there were a lot of preserved video footage. Clark spent an entire afternoon looking through it and finally found a useful photo.
According to news reports at the time, a group of mutants had a serious conflict with local law enforcement agencies, which even alarmed the local garrison. One of the mutants was particularly powerful.
Of course, it was too early at that time and Magneto was not yet famous, so this case could not be found in the entries related to Magneto or Eric Lensherr.
It is reported that the police and the army suffered heavy casualties at that time, with at least 20 people killed and more than 100 injured. No civilians were injured, but other mutants were also attacked.
What Clark found was a photo of doctors and nurses carrying the injured on stretchers. As a reporter, he knew that it must have been taken by local reporters who rushed over from the periphery.
The shot was not clear at the time, but Clark still found the person who was different in the crowd. Behind several doctors and nurses was a young man lying, who was being carefully moved onto a stretcher.
Clark recognized it as a young Charles Xavier, with a look of pain on his face and blood all over his waist.
Clark took a screenshot of the photo, saved it and transferred it to his mobile phone, but he did not go to find Magneto because he knew that there was another important protagonist in this incident, which was of course Professor X in the photo.
Clark concentrated, he still remembered how Professor X contacted him with brain waves last time. His super brain was different from that of humans. Every change in brain waves could be traced and he could control it himself.
Clark flipped through the history records and chose to connect to the brainwave communication again. There was some surprise on the other end, but soon the gentle voice sounded again, "What's wrong? Clark, how did you contact me?"
"With brainwaves, Professor, I can certainly do that."
"You're stronger than I thought. Clark, how is Eric? Is he okay? He's rejected my brainwave communication and hasn't answered my calls."
"He looks fine, we just planted the seeds."
"Did you want to come and talk to me about Mexico? Maybe if you have time you can come ..."
"No, Professor, I want to talk to you about what happened between you and Eric. Is everything okay between you two?"
"Of course, we always do this."
Clark sighed softly and said, "I know I have to respect the relationship between you two. If you both agree that this matter is over, there is no need for me to bring it up again."
"But I always feel like if it does go over, it shouldn't be like this between you, and that relationship isn't healthy at all."
"There's nothing unhealthy, Clark." Professor X's voice came with a smile, "Or rather, any close enough relationship in this world is not healthy. The healthiest relationship is when the two of you don't know each other."
Clark obviously didn't agree with this theory, his face wrinkled, and then he heard Professor X continue.
"I know you're thinking about mutants, and so are other mutants. They hope we can be more united."
"Although we have shown to the outside world that there is no conflict between us, the incident back then has indeed not completely passed, and we don't need it to be completely passed."
"I don't know."
"We didn't let this matter go completely, not because it was hard to let it go, and not because there weren't people like you to mediate."
“If you think that connections between people can all be maintained by beautiful things, then you must be very lucky, but the fact is that hatred lasts longer than love in this world. Only with regrets can we have a future, and only when we owe each other will there be no end.”
Clark's facial features wrinkled even more, and many images of crazy people flashed through his mind.
Isn't this universe quite sunny? Why is it like this? Is this world just a huge mental illness?
Then Clark suffered a huge mental shock. Professor X said to him: "You have found the photos from that year. Maybe you can ask a professional."
After the call was disconnected, Clark stared at the photo in his hand. He didn't quite understand what Professor X meant. What professionals? What kind of professionals?
But after thinking about it, Clark could only think of one profession, that is, a doctor. After all, there were wounded people lying on the ground, and Charles looked seriously injured. Who else could he find if not a doctor?
"Dr. Schiller! Dr. Schiller!!" Clark began to shout at the top of his lungs.
Schiller just happened to come in from the back door. He put the things he bought on the table and walked over. When he saw the picture on the computer screen, he said in surprise, "What era is this antique from? How could you still find it? Let me see... The professor was really handsome when he was young."
"I didn't ask you to look at this." Clark said, "Professor Xavier told me to find a professional to look at this photo. You are the only medical professional I know."
“But I’m a psychiatrist.”
"I heard that you also have surgical skills, and don't psychiatrists also graduate from medical schools?"
"I'm not the one who knows surgery. All right, stay away. I'll ask him to come out and take a look."
Clark moved his butt toward the sofa, but still looked at Schiller curiously. Schiller was slightly stunned, and his eyes changed instantly. Clark moved to the side again.
Schiller stared at the photo for a long time, zooming in and out repeatedly, even magnifying the wound to a bloody red color.
"Process the image," he said. "Make it black and white, and increase the contrast."
Clark did so, and Schiller stared at the picture for a long time, so long that Clark's back felt cold.
Then Clark saw a very rare look of doubt in those unfocused gray eyes.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this photo?"
Schiller raised his head slightly and said slowly: "Theoretically, the location and extent of the injury are not enough to paralyze the victim."
"ah????"
