Chapter 117 0114: Magneto Eric

Things are often unexpected, and the current situation is really in line with Logan and Lorna's premonitions. The actions tonight are really unexpected.

Rojo and the people around him looked at each other in silence, and then his eyes fell on the old man in front of him again. His old face, aquiline nose, and sharp eyes all revealed a sense of familiarity, telling Rojo that , the old man in front of him was surprisingly the Magneto who disappeared completely after Professor Charles lost control more than ten years ago - Eric Lansheer.

"He is my father?"

Lorna on the side immediately lowered her guard while asking questions, because she could feel the familiarity in the old man. She was a little confused and at a loss for a moment.

"My God, tonight's mission went more smoothly than before, but it made me feel more troubled than before."

Bullock also recognized Eric. He put away his gun and temporarily withdrew the special forces outside the door downstairs. It was obviously because Logan and Eric knew each other, and the latter obviously had no intention of resisting.

After the soldiers outside the door withdrew, the atmosphere became less anxious. Eric Lensher took a deep look at Lorna. He felt that the girl was somewhat familiar, but he didn't recognize her, so he looked at Logan again.

A gratified smile appeared on his wrinkled face. He struggled to support the table, stood up unsteadily, and said with a smile: "Logan, it's really you. I heard a rude voice downstairs before, and I felt a little familiar." .”

Eric said, his eyes were red, his tone was emotional and sad, and he said: "This is the first time I feel so good to see you again."

"You're getting older."

Logan looked at the gray-haired and old Eric and took a deep breath. He still couldn't believe that Eric was still alive.

However, Eric has changed now. Not only is he older, but his tone of voice is no longer as tough as before. On the contrary, he now looks like a kind Santa Claus. Only when he is serious can he have that spirit. In his hale eyes, he saw the majesty that once belonged to Magneto.

"You are a bit old too, but you are twice my age."

Eric supported the table and swayed slightly. With his free left hand, the palm faced a crutch in the corner. He held it directly in his hand and leaned on the ground to stabilize his old body.

"It seems that you were seriously injured, and you can't even walk steadily."

Bullock looked up and down and said when he saw that Eric was using crutches to stand steady.

"You have really changed too much."

Logan murmured, somewhat unable to bear to look at Eric. Eric could not be considered a friend, but seeing him like this, he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

"As you get older, it's difficult to recover from injuries. Of course, if you can go to the hospital, you might be able to get better."

As Eric was talking, he couldn't help coughing violently, hunched over, his body was like a bumpy car, and his face was a little blue.

Lorna frowned when she saw this, and quickly stepped forward worriedly, helping the old man back to the chair.

"Thank you, I'll do it myself."

Eric leaned back on the chair, his expression slowly improved, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He also paid attention to Lorna again and asked, "You look familiar."

"Maybe it's because we have the same abilities."

Lorna pursed her lips, her nose was a little sore, and said, "The burn is very serious and needs to be treated as soon as possible. I will call the medical team over now."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Eric was about to speak when he was interrupted by a violent cough.

"It's all your fault"

Lorna saw Rojo also stepping forward, and the hand behind her back secretly pinched his waist.

"I'm not lazy about this, and"

Rojo held the stretched out hand, and his eyes fell on Eric's arms and neck. He always felt something was wrong. There were no burn marks on Eric's body. Thinking that he could concentrate, his mind instantly penetrated Eric's body. The pair of blue pupils entered the memory area in his mind.

"It's okay. This is not a burn. It's an old injury from the past. It will heal in a while."

Eric held the crutch tightly and waved his hand.

"Since there's nothing wrong, then come back with us."

Bullock glanced at his watch, and without intending to waste any more time, he took out the ability-suppressing collar he had prepared in advance from his backpack.

"Wait a minute."

Lorna grabbed the ability suppressor. Her eyes were red and pitiful, and she said, "Can you let me talk to him? This is the first time we have met."

"No problem, three minutes. We don't have much time. Go back early. After I submit the report, I have to apply to return to the headquarters."

Bullock looked at the time, pressed the timer, turned around and went out, closing the door behind him.

The four Rojos and Eric Lensher are left.

"We've actually met before, right?"

Eric noticed Lorna crying and felt inexplicably sad, vaguely aware of something.

"Eric, she is your daughter, Lorna Dane."

Logan Howlett said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lorna Dane could no longer suppress her emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged the old man on the chair and said, "Dad."

"Are you Lorna?"

Eric was in disbelief. He touched her cheek and wiped away the stained tears. When he remembered what the girl had just said, "We all have the same abilities," he realized that he was confused.

He choked and said, "My daughter, you survived!"

The father and daughter had never met before, so Rojo, Logan, and Marcos didn't bother them, waiting quietly for them to hug and part ways.

Logan couldn't help but ask: "What happened back then."

"The situation back then was very complicated."

Eric fell into deep memories. He was silent for a while and kept the story short. He only mentioned that after living in seclusion because of that accident, he unexpectedly met another woman in his life and gave birth to Lorna.

But at that time, the mutants were not as depressed as they are now. Eric thought that maybe there was still hope, so he reorganized new members and prepared to fight back. However, the reality made him bow down, and even caused his family to be destroyed, and his newlywed wife did not survive. He died soon after. Being hunted, he had no choice but to leave young Lorna at the door of the orphanage.

"I heard about that. After Charles lost control, everything was messed up. The X-Men and dozens of people died."

"I thought you were dead too, Logan, but I didn't expect you to be alive."

Eric sobbed and wiped his nose with a handkerchief. He didn't know why, but he was crying like a child even though he was a lot older.

He slowed down for a while, hesitated a little, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Charles, is he still alive?"

"He's still alive."

Logan nodded.

"Professor, not only is he still alive, but he is still the same as he was when he was in the academy. Although I have never seen him before, I think he is almost the same as he is now."

Lorna knew that her father and the professor had been each other's enemies and best friends, and she couldn't wait to share with her father what had happened in the past few months.

These include the current professor's situation, the ranch, and the mutant base.

"He is actually back in New York, and it sounds like he is still the same Charles Xavier, teaching people every day."

Eric was filled with emotion. Hearing his little daughter's words, he looked in a daze, as if nothing had changed.

However, when he looked at the old office and the dim lights, his eyes dimmed again. Logan next to him said, "Professor hasn't changed, and you haven't changed either. You still like to cause chaos as before, and you almost messed everything up."

"Uncle Wolf."

Lorna's face turned slightly pale, not wanting to ruin the originally harmonious atmosphere.

"Create confusion?"

Eric was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"The things you have done in the past few months, robbing military supplies, trying to create chaos, and driving senior officials crazy."

Logan spoke in detail about the various sins of the gray-robed men.

"Sounds like something I'd do."

Eric nodded, then immediately shook his head and said: "These things have nothing to do with me. Moreover, I also want to ask you why you stay with the people of the Ten Rings Gang. Logan, I have no objection to you continuing to be a mercenary." , but you can't let Lorna do the same."

"What are you talking about? Eric, you will be [-] years old in a few years, can't you stop?"

Logan was confused.

"I've been silent for many years."

"Then who did the robbery before?"

"I was robbed once a few months ago, but I'm absolutely right. They deserved it."

"Oh my God, you admitted it, but you don't think you were wrong. I was talking to a woman!"

Logan originally sympathized with the elderly Eric, and as an old acquaintance, meeting again after more than ten years felt like a world away. But now that Eric refused to admit his mistake, he was so angry that he wanted to spit out his steel claws.

"you."

Lorna was caught between the two of them and was helpless. She didn't know how to change her words. She could only pull Rojo beside her anxiously, "Let them stop."

When Marcus saw this scene, he felt cold. He seemed to have the least sense of existence. "I can help too."

"You two, be quiet."

Rojo was also a little confused. After being shaken by Lorna a few times, he sobered up a bit and immediately used telepathy to calm the two quarreling people.

He said: "Uncle Wolf, Mr. Lansheer did nothing wrong, because he was not the one who robbed Surprise. He robbed the goods of the Ten Rings Gang."

"You mean, he's not a man in gray robe?"

After Logan calmed down, he suddenly realized that from the moment he walked in until now, Eric had never said anything about his surprise robbery.

And the reason why they think so is entirely because Eric completely matches every characteristic of the man in gray robe, and is also the person who best fits the motive for committing the crime. And he is the target person tracked by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Next to him, Marcus was confused and asked loudly: "So what is going on?!"

"I thought you were from the Ten Rings Gang."

Eric explained.

The reason why he chose to surrender was that a few months ago, he robbed a batch of goods from the Shijie Gang to use as funds for a new business in the garbage factory.

But he didn't expect that the Ten Commandments Gang was very powerful in the Middle East. After being robbed, the Ten Commandments Gang immediately launched a large-scale manhunt in the area, causing everyone in the garbage plant to be frightened.

In the past few weeks, the Ten Rings Gang found this place. The first time they just harassed and threatened, and said that when they came the next day, they would make Eric kneel down and apologize.

Therefore, Eric obviously regarded Rojo and his group as members of the Ten Rings Gang.

"Are you working with SHIELD?"

Eric coughed a few times and said, "It would be better to live in the sewers than to cooperate with them."

"We misunderstood you!"

Lorna didn't pay attention to her father's sarcasm. She was very happy and her worries were finally relieved. Her father didn't rob military supplies, which meant that she didn't have to carry SHIELD to catch people. They now have a lot of time to get along.

"Eric, I'm sorry for being biased against you before. I'm surprised that you can be a good person."

Logan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Rojo and I will explain it to Bullock."

downstairs.

outside the plant.

After hearing the two people's explanations, Bullock was stunned for a moment, then touched his beard, grinned and showed his white teeth, and laughed ruthlessly.

He said: "Are you crazy, or am I crazy? You also believe Magneto's words, he can lie better than anyone else!"

"I because"

Logan Howlett wanted to say that Rojo used telepathy to turn over Magneto's memory, but he couldn't say it out loud and held it back.

Rojo on the side quickly explained: "Magneto does not meet the requirements. He has no burns on his body, and his physical condition is very poor. He has difficulty walking now. I don't think he can use his mutant ability to lift hundreds of tons." Water Tower.”

"Then he can still rob the Ten Rings Gang?"

Brock sneered.

"There are other members in the base, the Ten Rings Gang who robbed them together, and the base didn't see those masked men before."

Luo Huo was talking.

Bullock interrupted impatiently and said: "Don't tell me this. Now all the evidence points to Eric Lensherr. You actually told me that he does not meet the characteristics? Tell me, the ability of the man in gray robe." What is it! Also, don’t forget about the injuries on his body. The man in gray robe has a potion that can help him recover quickly! Then, Eric must also have this potion. He is just pretending now. Why, have you seen the man in gray robe? What does it look like? Or are you fucking telepathic? Can you read his mind and thoughts?"

Bullock was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly motioned to his men to go up and take the person down. He looked at Rojo and the two and said, "Don't think so much. If he is innocent, nothing will happen to him."

After a while, Magneto limped out wearing an ability suppressor and was escorted by several soldiers. Behind him, Lorna Dane, with red eyes and tears in her eyes, tried to rush to stop him.

"Lorna, calm down."

Seeing this, Rojo quickly grabbed the girl with both hands from behind, "Mr. Lansheer is innocent, he will be fine."

"Fuck, if you enter SHIELD, even if you are innocent, you won't be able to get out."

Logan Howlett gritted his teeth in anger, but was unable to refute. Bullock's evidence was obviously more powerful.

"Uncle Wolf, please stop talking."

Rojo rolled his eyes at him, held Lorna in his arms, and blocked her eyes from seeing Eric.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is not accessible casually. Everyone understands this. Of course Rojo also understands that either those who enter are agents and will still be agents when they come out, or criminals who enter will still be agents when they come out. Whether they can come out is another matter, especially for someone like Wan. Special mutants like Magneto.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Logan said bluntly, "What are you going to do?"

"Eric is definitely innocent, he is not a gray robe."

Rojo stared at the escort car going away, and then looked at the girl. She was sobbing like a frightened deer. This look was completely different from Lorna, who was brave and fearless in battle.

Rojo sighed and said, "Go to Samuda first. I have an idea."
