[X-Men + East Side Witches] Pagan

At the opening ceremony of the Xavier School for Gifted Teenagers, an unidentified female mutant suddenly appeared and caused chaos. She attacked Professor X and several students, and even Magneto suffered mental damage during the battle with her. Five people were killed and one died.

Unfortunately, it was an ordinary student named Irene Evans who died.

It has been 20 days since the Xavier incident, and the overwhelming issue of the outside world is still the question of whether mutants and humans can coexist peacefully. The temporary reconciliation and fragile sympathy between the two parties seem to be crushed by this incident. Chaos, contradictions, and disputes Upgrade again.

Mutants hiding among ordinary people were reported and exposed. Mutants who were already hostile to humans began to take to the streets to attack more people to vent their anger, and the social order was in chaos.

Xavier's door was closed and all visitors were refused. It is said that Professor X was seriously injured.

However, the media frenziedly exaggerated the pity of the dead girl and the horror of the mutants, leading to the intensification of conflicts again and again. More and more ordinary people went to school to protest against violence. The war between humans and mutants was almost To the point where it's a touch-and-go.

And the creator of this disaster is Greta's mother, Wendy.

After injuring several people in a row, Wendy hypnotized Pietro and wanted to attack Magneto, but the opponent's helmet happened to be out of hand, so the woman destroyed part of his mental defenses, in order not to hurt Phoenix and Mystique. Seeing her mother, Greta tried her best to stop her.

After doing all this, Wendy received the last instruction to commit suicide, so her last suicide attack also seriously injured her daughter.

In the end, it was Wendy's sister Joanna, the strongest witch entrenched in the Eastern District, who rushed to Xavier in time to save the two dying people.

Greta opened her eyes. The room was pitch black, the curtains were thin, and some light from the street lamps came in. She sat up and opened the curtains with her hands.

I don't know how long it has been snowing heavily, and the entire eastern district is covered in white snow. There is a thick layer on the window sills, covering the true color of the logs outside the house.The night was very quiet, and there were no footprints on the snow. Greta looked up at the time. It was three o'clock in the morning, and it was the time when the whole of the United States was sleeping.

She supported the edge of the bed and slowly got out of bed. The aftereffects of being attacked by spells and magic had not completely receded. After walking a few steps, she felt dizzy and nauseous. The girl leaned against the wall, her face pale, and heard the A revelation from the night news cycle broadcast that a girl disappeared during the Xavier incident and has not been found so far. I hope the general public can help find it.

Greta looked over, and in the picture was a woman with disheveled hair and a haggard face crying while holding up a photo of her daughter. That girl was still setting up the ceremony stage with them that day, and shared the buns brought by Irene.

Thinking of Irene, the girl's face turned pale again.

Mother's magic attack was fierce and swift, and she couldn't stop it, so she directly hit Irene. It was a very vicious witchcraft. The cursed person would age into an old man in a few minutes, and then die with an old and miserable face. .So the girl named Irene, in front of the camera and in front of the whole world, was attacked by a "mutant", and then dried up quickly like a flower that has been drained of water.

There was also a small amount of news that explained to them that the person who hurt people in the Xavier incident was a witch, not a mutant, but the splash was very small and was quickly buried.

Not long after they returned to the East District, many wizards came to accuse them. If Joanna's reputation was not concerned, they might have to do it.

Greta waves and the TV turns off.

"Not asleep yet?" Joanna's voice sounded.

"Aunt," the girl bit her lip, "I woke up."

Joanna laughed: "Look how I forgot, you have been sleeping."

"How is my mother?" she asked.

"Freya is making a potion. Wendy's hypnosis is very deep, and her memory is also partially confused, so in addition to lifting the hypnosis, you may need your mutant friends to help correct the memory." Joanna said, she Reaching out and stroking the girl's hair, "Don't be nervous, the East District is our territory, bad guys can't get in."

Greta shook her head, tears fell again: "I'm so stupid, since the first time she stopped me from being with Pietro, I should have thought that there was something wrong... How could Goring be so kind? Return my mother to me, how he left so easily without getting the experimental results, now has an explanation, he gave us a 'big gift'!"

If it wasn't for Joanna, she and her mother would have died long ago after this matter ended. If the witch was willing to deal with it, her identity would be exposed; There are a large number of weak people, mutants, witches, and humans. The more chaotic the three groups are, the happier that lunatic Goring is.

"But I don't know how to see them again." Greta wiped her red eyes and said sadly, "They trusted me, but I ruined everything." Maybe now Professor X and the others don't know their mother If they are controlled, then they become Xavier's enemies.

And Pietro...

Greta was almost trembling all over.

"Go and drink some potion and get a good night's sleep," Joanna said, looking into the girl's eyes to soothe her spirit. "We are safe now, Wendy will be fine."

After a moment of silence, Greta nodded and turned back to the room.

The snow looked very dazzling under the moonlight. Greta looked around aimlessly out of the window, and suddenly realized that there was a series of footprints on the ground. At first glance, these footprints were not stepped on by people when they were walking normally. The snow has melted, like a high-speed rut, but much thinner.

The girl immediately covered her mouth and tears fell.

This is Pietro's footprints. She has seen the same marks on the mat at the door of the boys' dormitory, which can only be left after running at high speed.Greta thought sadly, because of her stupidity, she made a mess of the professor's opening ceremony, and now that Pietro is here, is he here to comfort her or to blame her?

It must be for comfort, Pietro's personality...

But the thought of her mother hurting the boy's father made Greta sad again.

The house they lived in was hidden by the witch in a special way. Others could only see a deep forest when they came here.The fact that others dare not approach does not mean that Pietro dare not, but he may not be able to get out of the fantasy forest.

Realizing the boy's arrival, Greta didn't dare to sleep anymore. She was ashamed of the boy, and there was a cowardly part in her nature, so she didn't dare to go out by herself after waiting in the middle of the night, so she could only sit on the bed and wait with her knees hugged.

She was distraught and sad, and her hatred of Goering rose to an unprecedented height.

Getting acquainted with Charlie, taking his mother away, and making such a big circle, it turned out that he wanted to destroy Xavier.

Thinking of the harsh news and human speeches she heard during these days, I have to say that Goering succeeded most of the time. He not only pushed the entire Xavier to the opposite of human beings, but also successfully intensified the anger of the masses, making Mutants have completely become a group that is not accepted by society.

Now Greta regrets it very much. When she was young, her mother taught her witchcraft. She sometimes liked to learn witchcraft and disliked it. So powerful.

If Magneto hadn't made a sudden move that day, maybe she really couldn't beat Charlie.

The girl thought wildly all night, until the snow stopped and the sun fell on the snow through the clouds, Greta realized that it was already daytime.

She patted herself on the head, trying to keep the dizziness and nausea away from her.

The mother's curse really hurt her so much that she couldn't recover for so many days, not to mention the days when she was just rescued by her aunt, she couldn't find any other feelings except pain and dizziness.

"Greta?" A surprised voice rose, the girl looked towards the door and saw her beautiful cousin Freya, "Hey sweetheart, are you awake?"

"I woke up last night," said the girl, "cousin, how is my mother?"

"The hypnosis my aunt received was very strange. I went to investigate and found that the mutant children who were taken away were in the same situation as my aunt. They believed in the memories that had been tampered with before, and they were hypnotized to a deep degree. It's beyond imagination." Freya sighed, "I'm not sure, I can only try it with my mother."

Greta nodded, "Thank you."

"What are you talking about?" Freya stroked her sister's hair.

"I'm going out for a walk," the girl said. She saw that the other party opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, so she promised in advance, "I won't be discovered by others, don't worry."

Freya smiled and said nothing.

In the days when she was with Pietro, Greta hardly walked long distances at a normal speed, so going out for a walk step by step made her feel like she hadn't seen it for a long time.

The east side is still the same as before, but because the snow is melting, it is extraordinarily cold.

Greta was not that afraid of the cold. She gathered her coat, draped her hair down and tucked it into her collar. Before going out, she specially changed into a pair of non-slip boots and wore a short skirt. Her legs were directly exposed to the cold air. , she went out to get used to it for a while before striding away from her small building.

The girl planned to go out and buy the raw materials for her mother’s potions. Some things were sold only to witches, and ordinary people couldn’t find them. She took the address where she was looking for her aunt, and walked along the muddy path until she left the market. At last we came to a small house nestled between two tall cedars.

She is not unfamiliar with this place, her mother brought her here once when she was a child, until now, she still has a fresh memory of the various small animals that were soaked in the potion by the vendors.

It would be great if people all over the world could lose their memory, Greta thought, then she would definitely erase these people's memories of the Xavier incident, and let them only remember that the X-Men are the organization that maintains world peace and hates humans. Can't get the slightest relationship.

"Hello?" Greta stepped forward and knocked on the door politely, "I'm Greta Burgess."

After a while, someone said inside the door: "The youngest daughter of Bo Qiangpu's family?"

"It's me, I'm here to buy something."

The man's tone was slightly bad: "Didn't your mother tell you not to bring other people when you come to my place to buy things?"

The girl froze for a moment, and said doubtfully, "There is no one else..."

Before she finished speaking, she looked down and saw a pair of silver boots stopped in front of her.
