American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 179 News about Mystique
Xavier College is home to most of the kindhearted young mutants. Professor Charles uses his connections and financial resources to spend all his wealth to find a place for the young mutants to live, learn and grow. However, this place has been quiet and peaceful for a long time. Obviously, under the current circumstances, this long-lasting peaceful rhythm of life at Xavier College will soon be broken.

In the corridor, a figure passed by in a hurry. Wherever he passed, he pushed away the figures that were blocking his way. This made the young mutant students who were originally chattering and blocking the corridor stop their noise and stare at this guy with hurried steps in a daze.

Just because this guy is none other than the deputy captain of the X-Men, Storm! As the deputy captain, Storm has a lot of important things to deal with every day, and students usually don't see him very often. This also indirectly shows how important the news she brought is, as Storm showed up at Xavier Academy this time.

Therefore, after seeing Storm's face clearly, the students all became quiet and silently made way to let Storm pass by.

Storm hurried to Charles' office and pushed open the heavy door with force. In the office, Professor Charles was sitting in a wheelchair, leaning against the bed, staring at the scene outside the window in a daze. However, now was not the time to be in a daze. Storm hurried to Charles and put a phone on his desk.

Charles, who was in a trance, was soon attracted by the voice of Storm. He regained his attention, turned his head and looked at the phone on the table with a confused look on his face.

"..."

However, after seeing the anxious and serious look on Storm's face, Charles didn't think too much about it. He quickly moved from the window to the table and answered the phone.

"Hey……"

Anyone who can attract Storm's attention must be no ordinary person.

And that was indeed the case. The voice on the other end of the phone was none other than a voice that Charles was very familiar with.

"Charles..."

It’s Mystique Riven!
Although Raven has always been following Magneto Eric, the reason she joined the Brotherhood of Mutants was not because she agreed with Eric's ideas. In fact, ideas are not important to Raven at all. She takes feelings more seriously than so-called ideas.

The reason I followed Eric was purely because I didn't want to give up this friend and this friendship.

However, she also has a similar friendship with Charles.

This friendship also ensured that her connection with Charles remained unchanged.

However, now is the time for Riven to use this connection.

After answering the phone, and confirming that it was Charles' voice and himself, Raven took a deep breath and said:

"Charles, I have important news now..."

Charles was sure it was Raven herself, because only Raven would use this tone, the tone she used to treat her friends.

However, the last time Raven spoke to Charles in this tone was many years ago.

Ever since Raven followed Eric to defend the so-called rights of mutants, she has not been in contact with Charles, who has different ideas and cannot work together, for a long time, perhaps because of Eric.

Along the way, there were several times when the lonely Charles tried to break the deadlock and contacted Raven, but in fact, he still couldn't let go of the mutants in Xavier Institute. His identity was special. As the person in charge of the institute, if he contacted Raven, the second-in-command of the Brotherhood of Mutants, then, considering Magneto's ugly image in the eyes of the federal government, Charles would inevitably be suspected. Therefore, for the sake of the children's stable life, Charles resisted the impulse.

On the other hand, after leaving Charles, Raven actually changed her contact information many times because of her own abilities. Unlike Charles, a mutant who actively exposed himself to the media and the sun and made his contact information public, Raven, as a mutant assassin, has been doing unclear things in secret, so naturally her contact information is difficult for others to obtain.

Now, Raven took the initiative to contact him, and Charles felt very relieved.

But at the same time, he also felt a little worried. No one knew better than him what it meant for Raven to contact Charles.

Or, Raven breaks up with Eric completely, chooses to reconcile with Charles, agrees with the idea of ​​coexistence of mutants and humans, and wants to be a good person.

However, based on Charles' understanding of Raven, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.

Then, there is only one other possibility left.

Eric is missing, or has been beaten up or passed out. Without him, Raven can do whatever she wants, and no one among the mutants can stop her.

"Charles...I'm glad to hear your voice after all these years..."

Raven first breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was also very fortunate that Charles had not changed his contact information for so many years.

However, this is indeed something Charles would do. He is a very conservative person. This is true for relationships, friends, and even trivial matters. This is also one thing that Raven admires about Charles.

"Raven, I know you wouldn't come to me for no reason."

Charles smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was certainly not a naive person. Of course, he hoped very much, and he could even say that no one hoped more than him, that Raven could turn over a new leaf. However, because he knew Raven well enough, Charles knew that this was impossible.

Then, there is only the last result left.

This result is definitely not a good one for Charles.

"...You are so smart, Charles." Raven sighed on the other end of the phone.

"Eric was injured, or more accurately, he was unconscious for a long time."

as predicted.

Charles sighed silently in his heart. With Eric's high-profile personality, he would eventually pay the price for this. This was what Charles had expected when he became friends with Eric.

However, Charles was somewhat curious. Who could defeat Eric, a Level 5 mutant? Even if he did not wear special equipment, he would not be able to defeat Eric.

And Eric, wearing a helmet, was almost invincible in his eyes.

However, this is not what Riven wants to emphasize this time.

Ruiwen took a deep breath and said in a calm voice:

"Charles... I'm going to say something next, you must believe me..."

"According to my information, the federal government is preparing to activate the sentinel robots..."
