When Nina saw Eric walking into the ward, her eyes lit up immediately, and tears filled her eyes unconsciously, as if a lost chick had finally found support, "Dad!"

Eric stepped forward and hugged his daughter.

Nina huddled in her father's arms, buried her face in his chest, tears wet Eric's clothes, "Dad, I'm so scared, it hurts so much."

Eric's eyes were red, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, but he couldn't speak, his throat seemed to be blocked by something.After calming down, he said, "Nina, I'm here, no one can hurt you anymore."

"Really? Dad won't be taken away?" The scene where her father was about to be taken away left a lot of shadow on her.

Eric hesitated, unable to answer the words, and then felt ruthless, "No, no one can separate us."

His arrest was only the result of his wife and daughter almost dying. He no longer wants to experience the powerlessness and grief of watching important people die in front of his eyes. If they really don't want to let him go...

Where Nina couldn't see, the ferocious expression belonging to Magneto appeared on Eric's face, showing his murderous intent.

Nina didn't notice his small pause, she believed him when he said that, and rubbed happily.

Eric was softened by her animal-like movements, the atmosphere in the ward was warm, and the family of three enjoyed themselves happily, as if the previous grief, fear and confusion about the future did not exist.

When Nina was finally tired, Eric put her to sleep and sent his wife back to the ward.

Seeing the worry and panic in his wife's eyes, Eric sighed, "You don't have to think about it, just get well and heal your wounds first."

"Eric, promise me, don't be impulsive."

"I know, for you and Nina, I won't act recklessly, don't worry."

Eric walked out of the inpatient area, and he saw the man watching him not far away. To his surprise, the man was reading a book under a tree, instead of guarding against him like ordinary watchers, wishing that he would always be in sight.

He walked towards the man, "I want to go for a walk."

Yunting clipped the bookmark into the pages of the book, closed the book, and put it into the storage bracelet.

Eric didn't make a fuss when he saw things disappear suddenly. He had seen all kinds of mutants with various abilities, and it wasn't very unusual for things to disappear suddenly.

Yun Ting stood up, patted his pants, "Mr. Lanshere wants to walk in the valley, or go out of the valley?"

Then he explained: "I said that my existence is just in case, and you don't need to report to me. As long as you don't violate the laws of our country and don't shoot and hurt people at will, you can do whatever you want. "

"However, if you want to go out of the valley, you need people from Wanhua Valley to send you out. There is a protective formation at the entrance of the valley, and you cannot enter and exit at will."

Although Eric didn't know what a formation was, he could guess from the name that it was used for defense.

He decided to take a walk in the valley.

"Are you a mutant?"

Although Yun Ting was surprised that Eric would take the initiative to talk, he nodded calmly, "I am."

"What about that kid? Is he a mutant too?"

"So is he."

"Teacher Yun/Little Senior Brother," Yan Che and the others suddenly appeared and greeted Yun Ting.

Yun Ting raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing here?"

They glanced at Eric, didn't speak, and came to watch how Magneto could say such a thing.

They didn't say anything, but Yun Ting also knew what they were here for, "Didn't I see you last time?"

"How can it be the same?" They whispered, can the awake Magneto be the same as the lying Magneto?

"Have you greeted the people in Wanhua Valley?"

"Of course, how could we rush in here? Last time, we acted in a hurry. This time, of course they led us in."

"Okay, you guys have seen each other, it's time to go." Yun Ting had a headache and patted his forehead. These kids were sensible, debating right from wrong, smart and hardworking, but they just needed to be naughty once in a while.

Especially Yan Che, who was brought up by Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin used to practice the free way, even now he still has some old habits of doing things as he pleases, as long as it doesn't involve big right and wrong, he doesn't care much.The other children were brought up by Yan Che, and occasionally they would have a whim to do things.

A few people were reluctant and left dejectedly.

"what happened?"

With a smile on his face, Yun Ting joked, "They came to watch the famous Magneto."

"..." Eric twitched the corners of his mouth, a little speechless. His name used to be able to stop children from crying at night in the West. Even those students in Charles School dared not say that they watched him when he appeared. I didn't expect these children to have the courage to come to see Qi Qi.

Yan Che and the others: Why don't you dare, with Teacher Yun here, if they really fight, Magneto may not be able to win!

He suddenly thought of something, "Are these the children from that day?" He thought the voice sounded familiar just now, but it was only when he saw Gongsun Yu that he remembered why it sounded familiar.

"Yes."

Eric was silent, none of them spoke, and they wandered around aimlessly in silence.

The breeze is blowing, bringing the fragrance of flowers, and you can hear the rustling of the leaves when you close your eyes. The environment here is quiet and it is a good place for recuperation.

But in such an environment, Eric still couldn't relax. He was worried about the future, and he couldn't show this feeling in front of his wife and daughter.

Where should he go next?Eric was a little dazed. If it was only him, then of course it could be anywhere.But his wife and daughter should not have gone through this kind of life of fear and uncertainty with him.His Nina deserves the best, a beautiful and carefree childhood, interesting playmates, parents' love, and the best education, she deserves them all.

His childhood was dark and painful, so he didn't want his daughter to go through that. Maybe he could send Nina to Charles. Although he didn't like Charles's idealistic ideas, he had to say that he did provide a place for mutants. haven.

He remembered that there was also a mutant next to him, and it was a mutant from China. He had seen a few before and invited them to join the brotherhood, but he was rejected without hesitation.Mutants from Eastern countries have always been difficult to recruit. They don't have a specific organization, but they have their own circle. This circle is somewhat exclusive, and it is difficult for unfamiliar people to enter the core.

"How is your life in China?"

"Well, it's okay, just like ordinary people, helping students suppress the outbreak of superpowers at school and teaching them to control their abilities is a leisurely job. Occasionally helping to fight superpower criminals and earn extra money, that's it. Just now Those children are all students in our school."

Yun Ting knew what Magneto meant. What he cared about was not how his life was, but how the lives of the mutants were.But what is the use of talking?Eric may not believe it, he should see for himself.So there is some inducement in his language.It's not enough for him to just follow Magneto this time, he came with a mission.

Eric grasped precisely what Yun Ting wanted to express, school?student?superpower?

His heart moved, and he looked at the man with scrutiny.

Yun Ting looked at him calmly.

Eric withdrew his gaze and fell into thinking. This person, or the person behind him, is eyeing Nina?A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"I heard that your daughter can communicate with animals. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province wants to hire her as a translator to convey the thoughts of giant pandas and help us study giant pandas and increase their fertility and survival rates. I really want to have this kind of ability, but it is China's national treasure giant panda, and I can get close to the giant panda, and maybe even touch it." Yun Ting rubbed his fingers, imagining the soft and fluffy touch of the giant panda, and revealed With a look of envy, he sighed.

Eric was choked by the killing intent surging in his heart, and his eyes widened in disbelief. You told me for a long time, just to find an interpreter for the giant panda? !He felt absurd in his heart, and this development was completely unexpected.

He stared at the man's face for a long time, and found that he was serious, and his envious expression was not fake at all.

Eric had a stiff face and didn't know how to respond. What's wrong with these Chinese people, they didn't play cards according to the routine, and their brain circuits couldn't keep up.

He didn't say any more, and returned to the ward with a stiff face.

Seeing his expression, Andena thought that something bad had happened, and there was a hint of worry on her face, "What's wrong, Eric?"

Eric wiped his face to make his expression less rigid, "They said they wanted to hire Nina to translate for animals."

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, neither knowing why things would develop like this.

In the end, Andrea was the first to speak out. She is a very smart woman, and she is not as suspicious as Eric. She immediately saw the intention behind the Chinese's move. The Chinese side is sending them a friendly signal. , throwing an olive branch to them.

"Eric, the Chinese are courting us. They want to get you. Are we going to accept it?"

Andena is inclined to accept, she has no ambitions, she just wants her family to be happy and safe, that's all.

Eric's thoughts were rushing towards the direction of conspiracy theories, and Radu couldn't come back, and his expression gradually became ferocious.Hearing what Andena said, his thoughts paused, and it took him a while to realize what his wife said, "Show me? Solicit me?"

This is an answer he hadn't thought about. He is an internationally wanted criminal. Which country doesn't want to arrest him, use his blood genes for research, and recruit him?What a joke!

"They clearly want to threaten me with Nina!"

"Eric, they don't need to threaten you with Nina. With that cloud, if they want to arrest you, they can do it at the airport."

Eric was at a loss for words, remembering that Yun Ting made him immobile with a little force at the airport, he had to admit that this was the truth.

"Shall we accept their overtures?"

What kind of show?Ask Nina to act as an interpreter for the animals?What kind of gesture is this?

Seeing Eric's doubts and confusion, Andena explained: "They are tactfully testing whether you are willing to stay in China. If you agree, it means that you have the willingness to stay in China."

"If they don't agree, they will ignore it. Nina's age is a good excuse, even if she refuses, it won't hurt face."

After hearing his wife's interpretation of Chinese behavior, Eric was a little speechless. This euphemism was too euphemistic. He didn't intend to understand what they meant, and almost misunderstood.

But what kind of gesture is this?Isn't this a test?

The next day, Eric decided to let go of the struggle and just ask.

"Of course this is a temptation, but it is also a gesture of favor and a hint. Mutants use their mutant abilities to contribute to society, create social value, and live in harmony and equality with ordinary people. Isn't that what you want? You have been fighting against Professor X for many years, Isn't that what you want?"

"I'm telling you that in China, what you asked for has been achieved."

"Can't you just say it directly? What are you doing around here?"

"This is called the art of language. If you speak too bluntly, it will be boring."

Eric said that he felt that there was a generation gap between him and the Chinese, and the generation gap was huge.
