Chapter 1028: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 562

After everyone had signed, the presidential assistant confirmed the signatures were authentic, put away the confidentiality agreement, and only then looked up at everyone, explaining why Congress had suspended this hearing.

"An incident occurred suddenly."

"This news also came from the Texas Air Force Base this morning, Washington time."

"They discovered a suspected alien creation there."

"To be precise, it was the alien creation that discovered us."

"So, the President, the Pentagon, and the members of Congress are currently focusing on that alien creation that landed in Texas."

"Dr. Xavier."

The presidential assistant said this, looking at Professor X in the wheelchair, his expression carrying a trace of apology: "Mr. President originally wanted to invite you to lunch at noon, and he asked me to apologize to you."

Upon hearing this, Professor X's face once again showed the expression of a good old man: "It's okay, business comes first."

Magneto, who was on the side, looked at the presidential assistant expressionlessly: "So, we came here this time, and it was a wasted trip?"

The presidential assistant smiled slightly: "Mr. President has already said that after this matter is finished, he will urge Congress to hold the hearing as soon as possible. And, Doctor, that alien creation is on its way from Texas back to Washington, and we might need your help."

Professor X was a bit curious.

"What kind of alien creation?"

"This."

The presidential assistant took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it to Professor X.

At first glance!

Cold!

Stern!

Sci-fi!

A pure dark robot that looked about five meters tall and presented a cool, dark style instantly entered Professor X's eyes.

If Logan the Wolverine, who had come from reversing time and space, were here, he would definitely have recognized this thing as a Sentinel robot at a glance.

Even if Mystique Raven were here, she would also have been able to recognize it.

Unfortunately—

Logan the Wolverine was nowhere to be found.

Mystique Raven was also saving mutants all over the world.

Yes.

Professor X and Magneto had not yet learned the news of Mystique Raven's disappearance, thinking that Raven had run off somewhere else to save mutants again.

Professor X and Magneto had already become accustomed to Raven's busy schedule.

As long as she hadn't been out of contact for a month, neither of them would subconsciously think that they couldn't reach Raven and wonder if she had gone missing.

In short!

The two insiders who knew what this thing was were not there, and Professor X and Magneto, looking at the five-meter-tall metal giant in the photo, did not think in the direction of a Sentinel robot.

Because in the eyes of both Professor X and Magneto, the Sentinel robot was an invention of the short guy, and the short guy had died twelve years ago, so there was no way there could be such a thing as a Sentinel robot in this world anymore.

Professor X looked at the "alien creation" in the photo in his hand, then looked up at the presidential assistant.

"Is this thing a dead object?"

"I don't know."

The presidential assistant shook his head: "When this thing landed at the Texas Air Force Base this morning, the base had conducted a series of tests on it and determined that it was not emitting any life signals, which is why they decided to transport it to Washington as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Professor X nodded subconsciously, then looked at the presidential assistant.

"What does the President need us to do?"

"Can the Professor stay in Washington for the time being?"

"Stay in Washington?"

Professor X heard this request and was noncommittal.

Magneto, who was on the side, sneered: "So, you still intend to trick us into coming over and then imprison us here?"

Towards humans, Professor X held the greatest goodwill, while Magneto held the greatest malice.

The presidential assistant looked at Magneto and waved his hand quickly: "Mr. Lensherr, you misunderstood. Mr. President's meaning is that if you could stay in Washington for a while, you could protect us. After all, we currently know nothing about the information or the intentions of this alien creation."

Jean looked at the presidential assistant with some curiosity: "Since you know nothing about this thing, why did you let Texas transport this thing to Washington?"

How to describe this?

It was equivalent to hugging a nuclear bomb that you didn't know would explode or not back into your own home.

Hmm.

The description was quite abstract, but that was indeed what they were doing.

"Ph..."

The presidential assistant gave a bitter smile, looked at Jean who had spoken, and just as he was about to speak, he seemed to have thought of something and changed his words in time: "Ms. Phoenix, Texas does not have the ability to study this 'alien creation.' Only Quantico has such qualifications, and we also sincerely hope that Ms. Phoenix can help us."

Jean heard the other party's address and the content, and her willow eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

"I'll stay, but I can't help you."

"But your father can."

"Hehe!"

Jean laughed, looking at the presidential assistant: "You want to count on my father to help? Speaking of which, do you still dare to let my father come to Washington?"

After all, when her father Hawk came to Washington last time, he caused quite a few casualties and accompanied it with economic losses of over ten billion.

So—

Even if her father Hawk dared to come to Washington, would the people here in Washington dare to let her father come to Washington?

The presidential assistant's face gave a bitter smile again: "Of course we don't hope for Mr. Phoenix to come to Washington, but we still hope to get information support from Mr. Phoenix when necessary. After all, this is an alien creation."

The implication was that Hawk Phoenix was also an alien visitor.

Maybe Hawk had some connection with this alien creation that landed at the Texas Air Force Base this morning.

Jean heard this sentence from the presidential assistant, shrugged, was noncommittal, and instead looked at Professor X.

Anyway, she was going back to her original universe in half a month.

So it was still up to the Professor's decision.

Professor X looked at the photo of the alien creation in his hand, then looked at the presidential assistant who was casting expectant eyes at him, and pondered for a while.

He didn't think about going for a stroll in the presidential assistant's mind.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.

Because whether it was Congress, the Pentagon, or even all the staff of the Bai Gong, they were all wearing equipment that could effectively prevent him from taking things without asking.

Tell a joke.

Even this kind of equipment that could effectively restrain Professor X's mind-probing ability was actually something Professor X had actively cooperated with the Pentagon to tinker with.

As for the reason.

Still the same saying.

Harmony is precious, that was Professor X's heart's desire. He advocated exchanging for permanent peace through peaceful means, so gaining the trust of humans was very important.

As for whether it had any effect?

Professor X thought it did. Otherwise, he would have already headed to the Capitol building to conduct the hearing for the Mutant Peace Act right now.

At least that was what he thought.

Professor X thought of this, withdrew his gaze from the photo in his hand, and looked at the presidential assistant: "If you need our help, I think we should be able to go see the true appearance of this alien creation, right?"

The presidential assistant nodded: "Of course, Mr. President also plans to do so."

When the time came, wait for the mutants to be studying the Sentinel robot, and let the Sentinel robot activate.

In this way, even if there were any problems, all the responsibility could be pushed onto the X-Men.

Don't ask, if you ask, it's: if it weren't for this group of mutants messing around, why would this terrifying Sentinel robot have activated?

After all, when the Sentinel robot was transported over, it had been in a dormant state the whole time.

And doing so could also allow President Baron Turner to find a reasonable reason to cancel the proposal for the Mutant Peace Act submitted by Professor X.

After all, having caused such a big mess, you still want to pass the Peace Act? What are you thinking? The only thing I can do is to maintain the status quo as much as possible, so, be good, take back the proposal, return to the manor with peace of mind, and wait for our next unpaid action order.

This!

Was a brand-new method that the Pentagon generals had gathered together to think of while Professor X and his group were still flying in the sky.

By self-detonating the Sentinel robot and creating it as an alien product, they were playing a "killing two birds with one stone" drama.

The first was to use the topic to cancel the so-called Mutant Peace Act.

As for the second.

Undoubtedly.

It was aimed at Hawk.

Just like the presidential assistant had already paved the way, hinting that not only might this Sentinel robot be an alien creation, but Hawk Phoenix was also an alien visitor.

Now, they were just waiting for the mimetic gene used to activate the Sentinel robot to arrive, and they could find a way to trick Hawk into Quantico in Washington.

Hawk had once turned Quantico into ruins.

Just right!

This time, the Bai Gong and the Pentagon were also prepared to turn Quantico into Hawk's ruins!
