~10 min read 1,852 words

Soon Magneto found that Shiler was right, because during the morning's work, he discovered that he might not necessarily be human, but Clark was definitely a dog.

Magneto had roamed the world for many years, wherever he went he was mighty and renowned, and there were plenty of people who wanted to use his fame to profit themselves, foremost among them were those greedy tabloid reporters like hyenas.

There had once been some reckless people who also wanted to pester Magneto by using the same tricks on ordinary people, of course their fate need not be said, for dealing with people who annoyed him, Magneto never went easy.

Later his infamous reputation spread far and wide, so many people also dared not touch his bad luck, after many years, Magneto finally once again felt the annoyance of being pestered by reporters.

"Mr. Eric Lensherr, someone says this is your alias, and also says you have used more than ten aliases in your life, so what is your real name? Why do you want to hide your name?"

"Mr., I saw in the news that you and Professor X are not on good terms, but I also heard that you have a good relationship in private, what exactly is your relationship?"

"What do you think of the terrorist attacks carried out by the Brotherhood of Mutants all over the world? Professor Xavier once said in an interview that this is not what he hopes to see, what do you think of this comment?"

Magneto took a deep breath, pinched the seed floating in front of him into a ball, and threw it at Clark.

Clark, who was also flying in mid-air, nimbly dodged it, then came over with a grin and asked: "I heard you always wear a helmet just to avoid Professor X's mind-reading, do you have something you're afraid he'll hear? Why aren't you wearing it now? Have you two made up?"

An invisible but extremely sharp magnetic sword pointed straight at Clark's brow, Magneto said coldly: "Shut up and work."

Clark also seemed to understand the principle of work and rest, he closed his mouth and began to demonstrate to Magneto how to sow seeds, superpower work is indeed fast, after Magneto got the specific data on sowing timing and sowing density, countless fields were sown in an instant.

No matter how fast this stage is, seeds still need time to grow, Magneto continued upstairs to rest, after all he was truly uncomfortable, while Clark still did not intend to give up, he continued to investigate matters concerning Magneto and Professor X.

Clark could see that Magneto was moved by the matter of doing something in Mexico, but Professor X might not be.

Clark's understanding of this professor was not very deep, but he knew that often those who appear gentler are more conservative, he might not agree with Magneto's idea.

No matter whether they two are friends or enemies, they will definitely have a major influence on each other, if at the last critical moment, Professor X steps forward to stop, then it will be troublesome.

So Clark urgently wanted to resolve the issue between them, letting them unite also helps the subsequent development of Mexico in this world, and can also help Oliver and their universe's Mexico.

Clark searched for half a day, the information about the two was really too much, after all they are both old people, having lived for so many years, the accumulated news can be called massive.

Most of the recent news is about the Andromeda galaxy, after all this can also be called a grand event for mutants, and many earlier ones are Xavier's Genius Youth School enrollment information and Brotherhood of Mutants activity information.

But Clark is no less a reporter, he has his own set of methods for researching information, he firmly believes the internet has memory, anything from long ago can be dug up.

Soon he found the clue to that incident, the cause was a report where Professor X talked about his relationship with another strongest mutant, saying they had once had some misunderstandings, the incident happened in Maryland.

At this time Clark decisively turned his gaze away, no longer searching about the two of them, but began to search for mutant incidents that had once occurred in Maryland.

Another advantage of America's development is that basically the world's most advanced electronic equipment will first be popularized in American households, cameras, camcorders, televisions, computers and such electronic equipment were very common in middle-class households in the last century.

Americans also have the habit of regular family gatherings and recording videos, so even without so many cameras, home videos can easily capture some strange scenes, many sensational alien, flying saucer rumors come from home videos.

Mutant incidents are also mostly like this, there are not a few preserved video materials, Clark searched here for an afternoon, and finally found a useful photo.

According to the news report at that time, a group of mutants and local law enforcement broke out into serious conflict, even alarming the local garrison, among them there was a mutant who was extraordinarily powerful.

Of course at that time it was too early, Magneto was not yet famous, so in the entries related to Magneto or Eric Lensherr, this case cannot be found.

According to reports, at that time police and military casualties were heavy, at least over 20 people were killed, over 100 injured, no civilians were injured, but other mutants also suffered attacks.

Clark found exactly the photo of doctors and nurses using stretchers to carry the wounded, as a reporter he knows this is definitely taken by local reporters rushing to the scene on the outskirts.

At that time it was not very clear, but Clark still found the person who stood out somewhat among the crowd, behind a few doctors and nurses lay a youth, being carefully moved onto a stretcher.

Clark recognized that it was young Charles Xavier, he looked painful, his waist full of bloodstains.

Clark saved the screenshot of this photo to his phone, but he did not go to find Magneto, because he knew there was still another important figure in this incident, of course it was Professor X in the photo.

Clark focused his spirit, he still remembered how Professor X last time used brainwaves to contact him, his super brain is different from humans, every brainwave change has traces, he himself can also control it.

Clark found that historical record, chose to reconnect the brainwave communication, the other side transmitted some surprised emotion, but soon that gentle voice sounded again: "What's wrong? Clark, how did you get in touch with me?"

"By brainwaves, Professor, I can certainly do that."

"You are stronger than I thought, Clark, how is Eric? Is his body still okay? He refused my brainwave communication, never answered my calls."

"He looks fine, we just planted the seeds."

"Are you coming to find me to talk about Mexico? Or perhaps if you have time you can come..."

"No, Professor, I want to talk to you about you and Eric's matter, how are you two doing?"

"Of course, we have always been like this."

Clark softly sighed and said: "I know I must respect your relationship, if you both agree this matter is in the past, I also have no need to bring up old things."

"But I always feel that if it really is in the past, your relationship should not be like this, this kind of relationship is not healthy at all."

"There is nothing unhealthy about it, Clark." Professor X's voice came with a smile, "Or perhaps say that in this world, no sufficiently intimate relationship is healthy enough, the healthiest relationship is mutual unfamiliarity."

Clark obviously did not agree with this theory, his face wrinkled, then he heard Professor X continue to say.

"I know you are considering mutants, other mutants are also like this, they hope we can be more united."

"Although we two outwardly show no contradiction anymore, but that incident back then indeed was not completely over, and we also do not need it to be completely over."

"I don't understand."

"We have not let this incident be completely over, not because we cannot get over it, nor because there is no one like you to mediate."

"If you think human connections can all be maintained by beautiful things, then you must be very fortunate, but the fact is that in this world hatred lasts longer than love, having regrets means having a future, mutual indebtedness means never ending."

Clark's features wrinkled even more severely, this let many images of madmen flash through his mind.

"Isn't this universe quite sunny? Why is it like this? Could it be that this world is just a giant mental asylum?"

And immediately after Clark suffered another great mental shock, Professor X said to him: "You have already found the photo from back then, perhaps you can find a professional to ask about it."

After the communication was hung up, Clark stared at the photo in his hand, he did not quite understand what Professor X meant, what professional? What kind of professional?

But after thinking it over, Clark could only think of one profession, that is a doctor, after all those lying wounded on the ground, Charles looked badly injured, if not looking for a doctor then who else?

"Doctor Shiler! Doctor Shiler!!" Clark began to shout at the top of his voice.

Shiler just came in from the back door, he put the things he bought on the table and walked over, saw the picture on the computer screen, somewhat surprised he said: "What era is this old antique from, you can still dig it out? Let me see... the professor when young is really handsome."

"Not letting you look at this." Clark said: "Professor Xavier said let me find a professional to look at this photo, you are the only medical professional I know."

"But I am a psychiatrist."

"I heard you also know surgical techniques, and psychiatrists are not also graduates of medical school?"

"The one who knows surgery is not me, alright, you step back, I'll call him out to have a look."

Clark shifted his butt to the other side of the sofa, but still curiously looked at Shiler, only to see Shiler slightly dazed, his eyes instantly changed, Clark then shifted to the side as well.

Shiler stared at the photograph for a long time, repeatedly zooming in and out, even enlarging the wound until it was a blotch of blood red.

"Process the image," he said. "Turn it black and white, raise the contrast."

Clark did as told, and Shiler stared at the picture for a long time again, long enough to make Clark's back turn cold.

Then Clark saw a very rare emotion of confusion in those unfocused gray eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with this photo?"

Shiler lifted his head slightly and spoke slowly: "Theoretically speaking, the injured area and severity are insufficient to paralyze the victim."

"Ah????"
