Chapter 178 Spy
With the corresponding strategy, these invincible sentinels will not be scary.Brad was like a whirlwind. After a while, one sentry was swept away from the battle, and after a while, the sentry that had been turned into scrap iron was thrown back and the other was taken away.

In ten minutes, the metal parts of all the sentinels were removed, and each of them softened like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.All eighteen sentinels were captured.

Soon, they joined the ranks of the "predecessors" and were imprisoned in the underground of the X Academy together with the previously captured ones.

The meeting place for the post-war summary is again in Professor X's study.

"I'm sorry, Professor." Scott made a gesture of self-criticism, although he did not make any mistakes, "Let Magneto lead again. Trask has been killed by him."

Charles nodded slightly.

"But that old man Magneto is so generous, he left us eighteen sets as soon as he made a move." Deadpool smacked his lips.

Brad glanced at him inadvertently: "That's because he has no shortage of eighteen sets. Magneto must have received enough technical support to complete mass production."

No one answered the words, and there was silent fear in the cloud of silence.

If humans have mastered the sentinel technology, the future will be transformed into what Logan described after the massacre of mutants.But if this technology falls into the hands of Magneto, he will definitely use this powerful weapon to deal with humans in reverse, and the Sentinel with high-intensity evolutionary intelligence and learning ability will one day escape from Magneto's control, although the process changes. However, the ending of the double nightmare of humans and mutants will not change.

So even though Magneto took out Trask and most of the people in charge of the Sentinel project, the ending remained the same.It's just that the first boss to solve has changed from Trask to Magneto.

"But. Don't you find it strange?" Rogers spoke, "According to the development process you said, that Magneto seems to be ahead of us no matter what step he takes?"

Tony thought for a while, and tried to explain: "I guess Magneto used the same method as us - reverse tracking and located the train transporting these Sentinels. Because he bought a few Sentinels before us - that is, from Gray's old man's factory, so he was able to locate the train before us."

Such words seem to make sense.

"But if that's the case, why did the professor go one step ahead of us when he used the brain wave enhancement device to directly locate Dr. Gray's factory?" Parker asked, "Is this just a coincidence? Magneto has his own channel to find that stronghold." ?”

"Or he planted a spy internally to inquire about the latest information on our side in real time through Professor X's channel. The moment he located Gray's location, the spy told him the information in a special way." Rogers said , his eyes swept across everyone like a sharp blade, "This is a common method used in war. No, it is a necessary method."

"That's not right." Hawkeye objected, "We have Flash here, if it's based on the fact that both parties got the address at the same time, no matter how fast they move or how close they are to Gray's factory, it won't matter. Might get there before The Flash."

"No, it's possible." It was Brad himself who spoke, "When the professor found that address, I was attending my father's funeral, and I didn't connect to the communication immediately. When I arrived at the scene, according to the dead body inside Judging from the body temperature and rigor, Magneto's invasion time should be less than half an hour earlier than ours, which basically coincides with the time when the professor searched for the address."

"So... there is really a traitor among us?" Ororo still couldn't believe it. Everyone in the X-Men can trust each other with their lives and never doubt each other.

Brad reminded lightly: "Of course, have you forgotten the natural spy next to Magneto? A shape-shifting mutant who can absolutely imitate his voice, retina, and fingerprints."

Mystique. It's not the first time that the X-Men have dealt with her, and they have already experienced that weird and troublesome ability.

Brad cast his eyes on Katie the phantom cat: "The game is over, Miss Transformation. Now as long as the professor activates the telepathic ability to scan one by one, you will be exposed, so why don't you be honest, so as not to be too embarrassing."

All eyes turned to Katie in surprise.She hid her face so well that she couldn't see the real expression. It seemed that after some ideological struggle, her snow-white skin faded away layer by layer like leather armor. No, it could be said that it was covered by blue scales inch by inch. up.The pupils turned back to snake-like gold, and those were the unique eyes that everyone was very familiar with.

"you!?"

Among all the vigilant people, Scott reacted the most violently, and almost directly put down the dark lens in the professor's study to shoot.

"It's amazing." Tony looked at the mutant's transformation process and exclaimed. "My armor can't detect any flaws at all. With the current technology of human beings, any camouflage should not be able to hide from my armor."

Deadpool's focus is different from everyone else: "My God, is she naked? This girl is really nice, don't you mind being hooked up by my wise and powerful Deadpool?"

Everyone directly filtered Deadpool's cuteness.

Mystique smiled naturally: "Did you recognize me? Did I neglect something?"

"No, you're not negligent, it's just that it's impossible to pretend to be a member of the X-Men for a long time." Brad explained, "If you know there must be an insider at the scene, just use the elimination method. Among all the people present, except for me, Iron Man and Thor, the Avengers joined not long ago, and the suspicion can be ruled out directly. On the mutant side, Logan and Deadpool were pierced by the sentinel's laser respectively. If they The fake one died on the spot; the storm woman solved the storm summoned by the sentry, which is impossible for you to mimic; Cyclops hit the sentry with a laser, and it is impossible to be a fake. This way If you don't, it's only that you don't seem to have the chance to exert the penetration ability that the phantom cat should have in the whole battle."

Mystique curled her lips in disdain: "What, it's so simple. But there's no way around it. Mimetic mutants can't imitate abilities. It's hard to be strong."

Brad shrugged indifferently: "Sherlock Holmes said that the art of detectives is to only tell the conclusion to appear magical, just like magic. If you omit the process of reasoning and just tell the result, people will think you know everything; But when you talk about that simple process, people feel like they can do it. The truth of many things is simple, but people turn a blind eye to the details and don’t want to think deeply.”

"It makes sense." Mystique nodded in praise.

"No!" Deadpool pointed at Charles and yelled, "When I came in, the old man clearly said that the brainwaves approaching here would be monitored by him, so why didn't this guy expose himself? Could it be that the old man avoided it? A quirk of a woman's mind?"

Charles looked a little embarrassed.

Hank, the old friend who has been with Charles for the longest time, is also the beast of the X-Men, explained: "Charles' brainwave monitoring is only effective for his unfamiliar brainwaves, and people he is very familiar with will be filtered out unconsciously."

Indeed, even Charles, who is known as "the strongest brain on earth", cannot always be in the reconnaissance state.If the brain waves were searched tirelessly like an electronic radar, the brain cells would have died long ago.Charles's usual brain wave monitoring is like a state of unconsciousness turned on. When a strange or unknown person steps into his territory, he will be monitored immediately, but there will be no reaction when a familiar person approaches.

Deadpool continued to yell out of fear of chaos: "Eh? Familiar person? Could it be that this old man is having an affair with this sexy woman? I can't tell, old cows eat young grass."

The more he said the more outrageous, Scott, who respected the professor the most, couldn't stand this guy, and directly shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Deadpool gave him a blank look, as if he didn't bother arguing with him.

Charles looked even worse, because some of Deadpool's bullshit might be true.He lived with Ruiwen for so long before, did he really have an interest in her?I can't even explain myself.

But Deadpool is really asking questions.Hank continued to explain: "Riwen—that is, Mystique—and the professor have known each other since they were young. It can be said that they are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together as the only mutants who knew each other in human society. Their relationship used to be Unbelievably deep."

Having said that, he glanced at Mystique meaningfully, and then continued: "Until Riven abandoned Charles when his legs were crippled, and went after Magneto."

It seems that this is also the guilt that Mystique has always felt towards Charles. She lowered her head and glanced at Charles from the corner of her eyes, without saying a word.

Most people also wisely didn't spoil the heavy and memory-filled atmosphere, except for one guy who didn't play his cards according to common sense.

Deadpool, whose focus was once again focused on something different, yelled, "Huh? Childhood sweetheart? So this woman is actually as old as the old man?"

"."

Mystique sulked: "It's impolite to point out a woman's age like that, you know that?"

"I'm already old, and I still care about these things," Deadpool muttered.

The atmosphere was completely destroyed, and the topic became more and more off topic.Charles hurriedly drew his attention back: "So Raven, tell me, where is Eric now?"

"You know I won't say it." The devil-shaped goddess said resolutely, "I will never betray Eric."

"You know I can read it from your mind." Charles said with a little distress, "but I don't want to do it, don't force me to do it."

"Then I'm afraid you have no choice." Mystique said firmly, "It's one thing to be read by you, but it's another thing to say the words to betray Eric."

Charles sighed softly, with bitterness and regret.
