Chapter 24: The Unharmonious Reunion between Father and Daughter

As the main force to clear the heavy weapons, Magneto arrived last. After coming in, he stood at the back of the X-Men and did not communicate with anyone.

Including Mystique Raven, who once worked closely with him.

At this time, Li Chengfeng, who had already canceled the green light transformation, brought the X-Men to the lower level of the castle, which is the most important part of the Hydra Research Institute.

laboratory.

In the center, two cells made of transparent material stood there. The brother and sister who had just been in the same cell had now been separated.

The silent old Wantou suddenly accelerated his pace and passed by the crowd without saying a word.

But the expression kept changing.

Anger, regret, expectation...

Li Chengfeng and Cyclops gossiped in low voices:

"Why would Magneto, as a mutant, be at odds with you? Aren't we all from the same race? He looks at you as if you owe him millions."

"You don't know this. He was once our leader, just like Xavier, and also the most powerful mutant in the entire tribe. But because of our different positions, we eventually parted ways and became the Brotherhood of Mutants and Xavier's School for the Gifted."

"position."

Li Chengfeng nodded.

These two words seem to weigh a thousand pounds.

These two words almost represent irreconcilability.

Positions cannot be changed easily.

"Since the conflict between the two parties is such a fundamental issue, why did Lao Wantou, as the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, participate in this operation? Is it just because of Bai Yadan's words?"

"You ask me, why should I ask a ghost? Magneto is the most paranoid and frightening person in the entire mutant community. But he really cares about his fellow mutants, it's just that his means and methods are too extreme."

Cyclops shrugged. Magneto's actions were extreme and unpredictable. In the absence of any explanation, he could only guess.

"Wait, who were you talking about? You weren't talking about Professor Xavier, were you?"

"How else? Think about his bald head. If it's not a white duck egg, then what is it? Don't you know the story of the two leaders of the FBI, the white duck egg and the black salted egg?"

“Hahahahaha, this is such a vivid description, a white duck egg.”

Li Chengfeng looked at the X-Men who were trying to hold back their laughter and Wolf who was grinning wildly, and his face was filled with black lines.

So you are this kind of X-Men, you really made a mistake!

But when he came to his senses, Lao Wantou had already started to manipulate the metal nearby to violently dismantle the cell.

"Stop it, old man. Do you want to scare the two kids...the two of them?"

Li Chengfeng originally wanted to say don't scare the two children. After all, the confusion and helplessness of the two siblings are indeed like those of two children.

But then I thought, I am only 25 years old, and it is not appropriate to call two 20-year-olds children.

After saying that, he motioned Ada Wong and Harley Quinn to find the switch to open the cage.

Then Li Chengfeng looked at the brother and sister again.

My brother seemed to be stuck in a vortex of unpredictable speed and couldn't extricate himself.

Sometimes his speed was no different from that of an ordinary person, and sometimes his speed was fast enough to leave a series of afterimages in the cage.

At first glance, it looks like a clone technique.

The elder sister seems to live in her own world, except that her younger brother occasionally breaks into this world.

She was fiddling with some worn-out building blocks with her eyes dull and absorbed.

But he didn't use his hands directly, but instead used crimson magic energy derived from chaos magic.

That's right, this brother and brother are the famous Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch in the original work.

But now, they are just two semi-finished products locked in a laboratory.

The abilities from gene X were not properly developed, let alone effectively controlled.

In their current state, let alone fighting, they probably can’t even take care of themselves, right?

……

Soon, Ada Wong and Harley Quinn dug out the code to unlock the cage from several core researchers of Hydra.

Then he typed something on the host, and with a slight sound, the transparent cage finally opened.

but……

Apart from holding each other's hands tightly again, the brother and sister did not dare to step out of the area originally covered by the cage.

It seemed that this was a safe zone that belonged to the two of them alone. As long as they didn't leave here, they would not suffer any more harm to each other.

"Hey, don't be nervous. I'm an FBI agent and I'm here to rescue you." Li Chengfeng tried to step into this safe area. After finding that the two did not react, he began to get close to the siblings. "Can you tell me your names?"

"My name is...Wanda Maximoff."

"Pietro, Pietro Maksymov."

Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it would be so easy to get close to them.

The main reason is that Scarlet Witch has awakened chaos magic. Although she has just awakened and has not yet learned how to control this power, she can still feel Li Chengfeng's kindness without a trace of impurities.

The original uneasiness quickly subsided.

Although his nerves are a little oversensitive due to being locked up for a long time, he is just a little abnormal and not completely crazy.

Basic good and evil can still be distinguished.

For example, Hydra, who has been conducting experiments on them, is definitely not a good person.

And the FBI that killed these Hydras, at least at this moment...

Be a good person.

But Magneto suddenly became excited.

Whether it was the country of Latveria or Pietro, who looked almost the same as he did when he was young, they made him extremely certain.

This is his lost child.

When Magneto was still young and strong, he lived in seclusion in Latveria for a long time, hiding his identity.

Fall in love, get married, and have children.

The happy life of a family of four has begun to change his originally radical thoughts.

But as his identity was exposed, he was hunted by the anti-mutant organization and was finally betrayed by his villagers and neighbors...

Magneto completely lost faith in ordinary people.

Coupled with the loss of a pair of children, this is what gave rise to the current Magneto, who kills entire families at any time.

What? North Star?

That’s another story about Lao Wantou.

After confirming the identities of the siblings, Old Wantou was still excited, and his trembling hands actually showed a bit of his old age.

"Do you two still remember your father?"

"Father? If you mean adoptive parents, they're dead." Wanda's confused eyes became clearer when she mentioned her deceased parents, and a hint of hatred was revealed. "There was a civil war in Latveria, and they died under the bomb of Stark Industries. In order to avenge ourselves, we became little white mice locked in a transparent cage."

"You wanted to gain enough power for revenge, so you volunteered to join the Hydra Research Institute's experiment?"

Li Chengfeng nodded.

This would explain why Hydra was not aware of the existence of mutants but was studying the X-gene.

It's ok if you deliver it to your door yourself.
