Chapter 89

What Henry didn't say was that if one or two people died, making the Phoenix's guilt reach its peak, then the matter would be settled. Returning would just be a matter of time.

So he shouldn't have saved this female mutant whose mouth could still blabber. It also seemed that in the movie, this person really died.

Mystique said angrily, "Then why didn't you go up and get beaten yourself? You had to push us out!"

"Hey, the point is to make that girl have feelings of guilt. Without this emotion, sending more heads is useless. So you tell me, what role can I, a stranger, play? I'm not as good as you guys," Henry said with schadenfreude.

Cyclops, who was excited on the side, finally caught the opportunity and rushed out. He grabbed Henry's lapel and asked sternly, "What exactly do you know?"

"Be good, close your eyes." Henry said this, and then with lightning speed, snatched away Cyclops's visor.

Scared, the young man hurriedly closed his eyes and covered his face, cursing, "You damn bastard, doing this trick again."

Cyclops wanted to let his ability run wild and teach this alien a lesson.

It's just that he was on his own turf, and in the infirmary, surrounded by his own people. After losing his visor, he found it difficult to even control his optic blast. In order not to accidentally hurt his own people, he could only close his eyes!

Seeing that he had succeeded again, Henry said triumphantly, "Hehe, it's useful, right." Then he threw the visor to Storm, who also showed signs of making a move, blocking the possibility of her doing so.

Storm hurriedly returned the visor to Cyclops and helped him put it on.

Finally, Cyclops still had some sanity and didn't start a war with the alien in the infirmary; he just looked at the other party angrily. Although others couldn't see his eyes, judging from his heaving chest, this guy was indeed very angry.

Henry then said, "I don't know the whole cause and effect of the matter, so I can only talk about the parts I saw. First of all, your rogue companion, at this time, just looks like a scared little girl.

"You asked me to help, I can at most help you hold the bottom and avoid major casualties. Who among you has seen a way to comfort your own daughter by calling a neighbor to beat her up so she stops crying?

"So I didn't make a move, to avoid escalating the conflict and making things even harder to clean up. ——" Absolutely not afraid of the Phoenix Force, absolutely not! "—— You guys can only find a way to persuade her yourselves.

"Second, I don't know if you noticed. Or is it because I haven't met that girl many times, so I feel that the feeling she gave me is different from the last time we met?

"Originally I thought her mutant ability wasn't external and wouldn't change her appearance. But this time we met, I observed more than once that light seemed to be flowing under her skin.

"This phenomenon accompanies her emotions; the more agitated she is, the more obvious the light flow is. And it looks like this ability only brings her pain. I observed her painful frowning expression more than once.

"So the best treatment for her now is to find a quiet place for her to stay and not be stimulated by the outside world. Time can heal most sadness, and even physical discomfort needs time to adapt.

"However, you guys don't seem to be able to do a single thing. There is no trace of that girl, and after she flipped two police cars, I don't think the government will give you much time to react."

The reason mutants seem to be accepted in this world is that they haven't drifted outside the government's jurisdiction. Not only are there law enforcement units equipped to deal with various mutants, but there are also special prisons for confining those with all kinds of strange abilities.

Even for Omega-level mutants like Magneto and Professor X, as long as they find the right method, the current US government's strength can deal with mutant criminals.

But when encountering that kind of super-standard existence, in order to reduce casualties, assigning the X-Men to go out is the best choice. So in Professor X's study, there is a hotline that connects directly to the US President.

And very unfortunately, Henry just overheard with his super hearing the notification that the White House had unilaterally shut down that hotline. Professor X was raging helplessly in his own office.

Such a performance is completely different from the image of a wise man that Professor X has always given people.

What is the reason that makes the Professor X of this world deeply tied to the US government is still unclear. But Henry doesn't want to explore this point at all.

"What do you think happened to Jean?" The one asking was Mystique, who was lying on the hospital bed. Although it was very reluctant, she was still asking about the person she cared about.

Henry spread his hands and said, "I don't know her recent situation, how could I know what happened. The only thing I can guess is that the cause of the matter should have happened recently.

"Her current performance is more like she's overstuffed and needs time to digest. It's just that outside things are coming one after another, making her unable to deal with her physical problems with peace of mind."

Cyclops shouted excitedly on the side, "Solar flare! It must be the influence brought by Jean absorbing that solar flare during the mission to save Endeavour. As long as we find a way to release it, maybe the problem will be solved."

He didn't want to hit this optimistic young man at all. If that thing were treated as a solar flare, it was destined to hit a dead end. But Henry had no obligation to inform him, and besides, he didn't have any evidence or response methods; saying more would just be saying more wrong.

So Henry followed Cyclops's meaning and said, "Great, then your problem now is just left with solving the US government."

"Solving... the US government?" Beast Hank hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem and said blankly.

Henry said, "Two police cars were smashed, the police didn't die, but they were definitely injured. And public property was damaged; if this were an ordinary person, and their identity was known, they would have been caught in the police station, right?

"You guys don't expect that because she is one of you, the government must ignore such criminal behavior. Oh, I have to say first, the trench I opened in the town was also caused by that girl's power.

"So you guys have to help me find a way to solve it, or pretend you don't know anything. Anyway, if you want to find me for compensation, or find me to be responsible, I won't admit it at all. I am currently in Switzerland, I haven't entered the United States."

Recalling that although he didn't crash into any houses, he had smashed quite a few walls and fences. Not to mention the damage caused to other people's courtyards, as well as the destruction of asphalt roads.

Anyway, if asked, it's one sentence: I am in Switzerland. What happens in the United States, what does it have to do with me.

Stepping on the topic first, Henry threw out another sentence, saying: "Then do you guys have any other questions? If not, I'm leaving. It's best not to come to me if there's anything in the future."
