"Don't shirk responsibility. This is the queen of your country, and it's your job to protect her!"

Rhea even wanted to turn her head and protest with him.

"I don't even know what's going on, but you suddenly told me, what do you want me to do?"

"Then please think as soon as possible." Mycroft threw a bomb at Rhea: "The cut-off time given by the other party is this funeral, we have to speed up."

"what?"

Rhea's head was in chaos for a while.She finally knew why the funeral came so abruptly...

In fact, Rhea stopped thinking briefly after she heard Mycroft say "the queen has been kidnapped".

She had made all the preparations before she came to the funeral in Essex.

In the end, they told her, it wasn't Essex's business at all—since Mycroft could even make out the terms of his will, he must have controlled the funeral.

Maybe it was Jeddle's death that gave Mycroft the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.If you look at it this way, Rhea helped him in disguise.

But now is not the time to pursue this—

"This is the last chance for you and your mutant friends, Rhea, you shouldn't want this to turn into a war." Mycroft hinted particularly meaningfully.

Rhea immediately fell into anxiety and tension, "Then why didn't you contact me earlier?"

That's why the funeral was limited to attendees—and Rhea finally figured it out: she'd just been drawn into yet another mess.

And she has every right to complain!

"This time it happened suddenly... I thought you were used to this kind of thing." If Rhea was careful enough, she could hear a trace of comfort hidden in Mycroft's tone.

But now she didn't have the heart to tell the difference.

"Boom!"

The first bell rang, and came from the bell tower at the southwest corner of St. Paul's Church. The big copper bell made the sound dull and dull.

Rhea just felt that the bell was beating on her heart.

The long bells echoed throughout the church, solemn and solemn.

After three rings, a rectangular blackwood coffin was escorted into the inner court, and everyone stood up together.

Rhea followed them to her feet, noticing the two clones were also on their feet.They seemed to have basic responses, and Rhea wasn't sure if someone was manipulating them.

She has no time to care about these.

Rhea put her mind on contacting Jean

Gray above—

Fortunately, she brought this female mind reader with her, and Rhea called out quickly: 'Qin! '

'I'm here, Rhea. '

Jean Gray, who had been waiting all this time, quickly responded.

Then Rhea took the initiative to open the door of her heart for the first time, and she let Qin's thinking explore in her mind, which would help them save a lot of time.

She didn't want to waste the little time she had left on recounting things.

In Qin's perception, at that moment, Rhea's head was confused for a moment, and then countless thought fragments flashed across. This massive amount of information rushed over, almost tearing the unprepared Qin Gray.

Qin barely steadied himself, but became even more panicked:

'No!This is horrible, Eric will ruin everything! '

Rhea didn't give her time to calm down, 'Jean, can you use mind reading to locate Eric?If not, tell Charles that he should know the person better. '

Qin did so and replied:

'Eric has a helmet that prevents intrusion from consciousness, and if he wears it, none of us can contact him. '

what?

Why does Eric still have this kind of thing?This simply exists to suppress Professor X's ability—they really are old opponents who have known each other for a long time.

Rhea's heart grew heavier.

That means things are going to be tricky.

The funeral ceremony will not last long.After the end, the coffin will be buried in the ground, Rhea frowned.

She watched helplessly as the black coffin was placed under the statue of the cross of Jesus, and the priest led everyone to complete the final prayer.

A few minutes have passed, maybe just one second, two seconds?

Anxiety makes Rhea's sense of time feel infinitely long and difficult.

Finally, she waited for the voice she wanted to hear.

'Rhea...'

It's Professor X.

'Charles! Rui Yatai was so anxious that he didn't even bother to ask him why he was in X Academy, and he could still contact her in London, England.

She just asked, 'You know what's going on, do you have any thoughts? '

'... Eric should have saved Raven.He went to Trust Industries, and found out that Raven was transferred to Essex, and he went to England...'

Well, even as a villain, this Eric seems to be very emotional.

Rhea skipped the right and wrong between them, and pointed out the center: "Very well, then tell Eric that Ruiwen was rescued by us, let him stop!" '

Rhea then remembered that Eric had a mind-reading helmet.She was extremely annoyed.

'No, it's not about Raven now. 'Professor X sighed.

His tone was complicated: "Too many mutants have been treated as experiments, too many... If Eric saw those, he couldn't stop.What he wants to fight for is the rights and interests of all mutants. '

'That cannot directly kidnap the Queen of England! Rhea was annoyed, and she even sarcastically said, "Why didn't he kidnap the President of the United States?" '

Professor X was rather calm.

'Because the US biological scientific research companies have assembled a huge force, the capital is intricate and difficult to shake.The UK is relatively weak in this field, and Essex is the overlord of the UK's biological world... Everything is possible after bringing down Essex. '

He explained: 'And Jedle Essex was just announced dead a while ago. '

'Damn it!So it's my fault in the end, isn't it? '

Rhea is incredible.

No, not right!

It was Andre Vetter who killed it, and it was his responsibility.As soon as Rhea's thought flashed, she pressed it deep in her heart to avoid being discovered by Professor X.

Professor X's voice softened: "Don't blame yourself, Rhea.this is not your fault. '

He seemed to have seen through Rhea's toughness, and approached her lightly.

If the tentacles of Jean Gray's thinking are the wind, which is still unpredictable; then Professor X's thinking is like a net.His invasion enveloped Rhea as deep and vast as the sea.

Gentle yet irresistible.

For a moment Rhea was almost in it.

"Boom!"

Then another bell rang, and Rhea woke up, pushing back Professor X's consciousness.

'Charles, what are you doing? '

She realized that Professor X's abilities had grown stronger.

'Use some awareness-enhancing devices. 'Professor X explained, 'I don't have access to Eric, so I can only search every memory related to Eric...'

In other words, he is now scanning the brains of everyone in London, looking for clues about Eric's hiding place!

Rhea couldn't help shivering.

Now, she knew why Professor X was able to control Malloy at the last moment - his level of ability in the spiritual field was beyond Rhea's imagination.

In the church, the priest has finished saying the prayer.

Rhea's heart skipped a beat.

'I found him. '

She turned her head almost instantly.Rhea doesn't know what a normal spiritual dialogue is like, but at this moment, she and Professor X have almost reached the synchronization of mutual transmission, and she has received the information that Professor X knows.

瑞亚

Immediately wanted to give the address to Mycroft Holmes.In her subconscious mind, this was Mycroft's job.

And she didn't think she could complete such a difficult task alone.

But Professor X suddenly became tough.

'Don't tell him! '

Mycroft's face flashed past Rhea's.He didn't seem to have changed a bit, he was still so cold, and there was nothing in his indifferent eyes.

But at this moment, Rhea still crashed into his eyes.

But she quickly turned back in embarrassment.

Rhea concealed her gaffe by stroking her hair.

She didn't even care about being peeped at her thoughts, and questioned the person entrenched in her mind: 'You refuse to cooperate with the British government?Are you crazy Charles, this is several levels above the Essex thing! '

Professor X sighs: '...let's keep things under control among the mutants, shall we? '

Rhea was almost insane.

'What are you kidding!It was your old friend who started the dispute first, and the hostage is still in his hands. How can this be controlled? '

'Rhea, your idea can convince me, and maybe Eric as well. 'Professor X made a request to embarrass Rhea.

'That's because you are a normal person, Eric is not necessarily. '

Just listening to those descriptions, Rhea felt that this "Magneto King" was very extreme.

'Malloy...' Professor X reminded Rhea not to forget her agent, who did not do much better than Eric.

Rhea froze for a moment, then surrendered, 'Well, what do you want to do? '

Professor X said: 'I need a little time. '

Rhea didn't pay attention to what the priest said.When she came back to her senses, those people had already stepped forward to say goodbye to the dead one by one.

Rhea's position was very high, which made her unable to react.

Suddenly, a finger hooked from behind, brushed across Rhea's cheek, touched a small piece of cartilage behind her ear, and smoothed Rhea's untidy blond hair.

"It's your turn to say goodbye."

Mycroft reminded lightly.

The voice in reality was intertwined with the voice in her mind, which gave Rhea a strange feeling.She noticed that everyone's eyes were looking over, both urging and inquiring.

Among Rhea's limited and acquainted people, she saw William's eyes were full of worry, Harry raised his eyebrows irrelevantly, and Princess Diana gave an encouraging nod.

Rhea followed the two wooden

Behind the dull clone, walked to the black coffin.

The coffin was opened, and Jedr's old, mean face with closed eyes was displayed there quietly and lifelessly.

The mortician must have spent a lot of effort to make the face that was so tossed and inhuman into the decent look it is now.

Rhea remembered the skin that peeled off before he died.

Jedr's two "sons" stayed for a while and then walked away. Of course they didn't have anything to say, maybe they didn't even have the ability to speak.

Staring at Jedr's body, Rhea reluctantly made a prayer sign.

She struggled in her heart for a while, then raised her head and said to the priest, "I want to read another passage from the Bible for him, is that okay?"

Yes, she knows she's drawing attention!

This completely defeats Rhea's original intention, but she can only do it under the pressure of all the eyes.

Haughty British nobles, thank her!

She is working hard to save your queen!

But they didn't know it, and instead started a new round of whispering speculation and ridicule.

"What is that girl doing? Doesn't she know that session is over? So rude!"

"It's Rhea Norren again, she just likes to create gimmicks for herself - it's not enough to get a prince to support her, she has to steal the show in public"

"Actresses, a common trick in Hollywood!"

The gazes exchanged were full of contempt, and the lowered voices were full of slander.

"Who does she think she is? Rhea Noren, or Rhea Essex?"

"Since she sat in the row of the heir, it doesn't mean her identity has been recognized."

Suspicion, sarcasm, and watching a good show, this is what Rhea has to bear, and she also expected this kind of scene.

The only thing she is lucky about is that there is no media here, and no one will take pictures of her rare and embarrassing moment.

The priest was also taken aback, and then he glanced towards a position Rhea was sure he was asking Mycroft for instructions.

Then he opened his hand in welcome, "Of course, my child."

Rhea pointed to the Bible in his hand.

The priest handed over the holy book at her gesture, and she flipped through it strangely, picking out a chapter in a complete daze.

Rhea cleared her throat, and she began to chant in a New York accent stubbornly: "When I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures say with a thunderous voice, Come ..."

When she saw the surprised and weird eyes of the audience, Rhea knew that she had chosen the wrong chapter.

only

Mycroft Holmes was smiling slightly, but it might have been ironic.

' Rhea, you are reading the Apocalypse. 'Professor X gave her the explanation:

'This chapter says that at the end of the world, there will be a lamb who will undo the seven seals of the scroll and call forth knights riding white, red, black, and green horses to bring war, famine, plague, and death to the world. To the human beings who will receive the final judgment...'

What, she's reciting the doomsday prophecy?This is too ominous!

'Well, now that you've started, I think you'll just have to keep going. 'Professor X sighed helplessly and amusingly.

Even at this moment, Professor X was still pleased by her, he stayed in the girl's mind almost reluctantly, enjoying Rhea's rare non-resistance.

And Rhea stared at those English letters angrily, and read them out of her mouth.

This is so embarrassing.

Rhea used her acting skills all over her body, maintaining a calm elegance.She looked flawless, but she could only grit her teeth secretly.

This is what the British owe her, even if there is no Essex, she still deserves a title!
