Chapter 67 064: Flicker, Professor’s Lesson

Under the moonlight, on his way back to the mutant base, Rojo stopped in the alley again, "You haven't left yet?"

"Your ears are really good."

Daredevil jumped down from the darkness above his head. He looked at Rojo. He didn't have any injuries on his body and said, "Something flew into the factory just now. I was worried that something might happen to you, but obviously I was overthinking it."

"It's all right now."

Rojo opened his hand. His clothes were intact, but stained with a lot of dust.

"Kingpin must be very angry. It's been years since anyone dared to do those things to him in Hell's Kitchen."

Daredevil sighed.

From the rise of Kingpin to now, he has witnessed the history of Kingpin's entire business empire. No one has ever made Kingpin suffer. If someone makes Kingpin lose his skin, that person will either be half dead or disappear from New York City.

"What am I afraid of? He doesn't know who I am, just like he doesn't know who you are."

Rojo shrugged and suddenly remembered something. He took out his phone from his pocket and opened the photo album. "Here are the files you want. Give me the phone."

"Did you get Kingpin's ledger in Hell's Kitchen?"

Daredevil was stunned for a moment. He couldn't see it, but he could feel some fluctuations. "But why did you give it to me?"

Rojo saved the photo of the document into Daredevil's phone and handed it back to him, "The document is of no use to me. I was going to give it to you."

"Why help me?"

Daredevil asked.

"I'm helping you, and I'm also helping myself. And I may need a lawyer in the future. I hope you can help me then."

Rojo didn't explain too much. He was helping Daredevil to leave a good impression. Mutants need a good impression to change people's views on mutants. Let's start with superheroes, although Daredevil doesn't know his identity now. , but you will always know later.

He doesn't plan to hide it for the rest of his life, so this is also helping himself. Besides, King is not a good person. If Daredevil can use this document to make Kingpin suffer for a while, there will be no harm to him.

"What a weirdo"

Daredevil did not pursue Rojo to question him anymore, but put away his phone, turned around and disappeared into the night.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Rojo was woken up by Lorna, who came to inform him to attend a welcome party for newcomers, which was organized by Eugene Phil.

It was held in an open space in the middle of the underground base. The purpose of Eugene's welcome party was very simple, which was to introduce Rojo and the others to the members of the base so that everyone could get to know each other.

The focus is on introducing the Professor and Wolverine.

Because Rojo could clearly feel that everyone was depressed during the meeting, but when the professor and Wolverine appeared, and under Eugene's passionate speech, everyone's originally low mood gradually became clearer. The emergence of the founder and the core members of the X-Men has obviously given them new hope and motivation.

Coupled with the fact that one bite of Eugene will ensure that everyone has a bright future, a normal life and other exciting words, it will indeed increase the effect.
Under the stage, Rojo stood in the last row, with Sonia and Lorna chatting next to him, "Eugene is a very good speaker, isn't he? He gives people a unique charm and can speak every time. Let’s get back on our feet.”

"He is indeed a very good person, with a sense of humor and a persuasive way of speaking."

Lorna nodded and looked at Rojo again. She always cared about what Rojo thought.

Rojo chimed in, saying: "He looks pretty good."

The welcome party ended quickly. A welcome party restored the fighting spirit of the members who were originally dull and depressed. Sometimes, in such a depressing environment, people's mentality is prone to change. It does take a person to stabilize the morale of the military, especially Kim Phil is obviously the person who knows this best, and Rojo has to admit that he is very eloquent.

Moreover, Eugene promised yesterday that he would let people contact Laura's friends in North Dakota, and he did so, and asked Laura to have a phone call with those friends. Some of them were willing to come to the mutant underground base in New York, and some of them were willing to come to the mutant underground base in New York. People choose to go to Canada.

This was no surprise, everyone had their own ambitions, and Eugene was happy to escort them away.

This kind of work efficiency somewhat surprised Rojo. Being able to transport ten people across the entire United States to New York on the east coast is enough to prove Eugene's connections in this area.

He had never encountered such a shelter leader before, and he could only say that Eugene Phil's ability seemed to be stronger than he imagined.

"Rojo, the professor is going to start a class later, will you go and listen?"

The tent was opened and Lorna ran in happily.

"It's a good idea. There are a lot of children here. It's a wise decision to start classes. They need more education."

Rojo just counted a total of 53 mutants in the base, and those under 20 years old accounted for nearly half of them, a total of 23. Later, Laura's friends joined, and there were 33 mutants.

Starting classes can bring them better education and teach them to better control their mutant abilities, but given the professor's temperament, he will definitely start with the ideological aspect first.

"You sound like a big shot. Are you going?"

Lorna said.

"Don't go, the professor's class will give you a headache."

Rojo didn't want to listen to the professor talking about morality and the rule of law, "I'll go outside for a walk, you can go on your own."

"Well, then I'll go with Sonia."

In fact, the place where the class starts is in the open space of the welcome meeting. The base is not very big. If the tent is closer, you can hear the professor's voice clearly even if you are lying down.

However, except for those who had something to do, almost everyone in the base went to listen to the professor's class. To them, Xavier Academy for Geniuses was a legend back then. It was described as a place where mutant geniuses had no discrimination or bullying. , where everyone is treated equally and everyone recognizes each other.

This is what everyone in the base wants now, and this is why so many people have regained hope after the professor joined the base. "A boring day."

Rojo got up and walked out of the tent, thinking about finding an excuse to go out for a walk. However, he accidentally saw a thin figure sitting in a corner not far away, leaning against the wall alone, holding a book. Writing and drawing.

Seems very withdrawn.

He recognized it. It was Clarice Fang, a friend of Lorna. Fang's name was a bit unfamiliar, but her code name was very familiar "Flicker". She had the same skills as Flicker, and could be said to be another version of her. Twinkle, and also oriental.

However, this person has a very withdrawn personality. From the moment we met until now, the only thing she has said is to introduce herself.

Dongfang's face always gave Rojo a sense of familiarity. He stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you go to class?"

"I don't want to go."

Clarice lowered her head and was drawing a landscape, but her drawing was very poor. She scrawled and altered it with pencil. It looked very bad. It was just a forest.

Rojo noticed that she was depressed, so he simply sat down and said, "Everyone really likes the professor's class. He can teach many things. Don't you want to develop your own mutant abilities?"

He remembered that Clarice now had no control over her teleportation ability and could not teleport as she wished.

From what Lorna said, Clarice might not be able to use her abilities once a year, but if she did, she might be randomly transported to an unknown place, which was extremely unstable.

"Do not want to."

Clarice shook her head without looking up.

"But Eugene encourages everyone to do it."

Rojo said.

"Eugene is a liar."

This time, Clarice Fang raised her head, turned her delicate and bright face towards Rojo, and said through gritted teeth: "He is still a complete bastard!"

"You may have some misunderstanding, everyone thinks very well of him."

Rojo was a little surprised. After entering the base, this was the first time someone commented on Eugene Phil like this, and Clarice's reaction was very intense.

"You trust him, you are also a bastard liar, don't talk to me."

Clarice Fang rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head and continued drawing.

"This sentence is a bit hurtful."

Rojo raised his eyebrows and seemed unable to speak. However, he saw the girl working hard to draw the picture. After thinking about it, he returned to the tent to get his drawing book and a pencil and sat down with her. Next to him, he also started painting.

Clarice noticed his movement, glanced at it, and didn't look again.

But the rustling pencil sound could not be ignored by her. She frowned and was about to scold Rojo to leave, but she couldn't help but take another look. Suddenly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes froze.

In Rojo's painting book, there is a black and white forest, but it is obviously black and white, but his painting is so lifelike that people completely forget about the color, as if the forest scene is right in front of you. The most important thing is that he still takes the photo I drew this crappy portrait of myself!
After Luo Huo finished the last stroke, he placed the painting in front of his eyes and said, "How is it? My painting is good, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Clarice kept staring at the painting and nodded.

Rojo felt that the girl had a unique emotion towards the content of the painting, and handed the painting book to her, "Here you go."

"give me?"

Clarice pointed at herself, full of surprise.

"Yeah, but you have to promise me that you won't miss the professor's class and learn to control your own abilities."

Rojo added, "If you can do it, I can teach you to draw in the future."

"Then can you draw something for me?"

Clarice asked.

"Of course, as long as you do what I say."

Rojo nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Clarice took the drawing book, looked down at the forest carefully, and touched one of the big trees. Then she took out a pencil and carved a few lines there, and wrote a few numbers.

She raised it and looked at it. The corners of her mouth turned up with a satisfied arc, and she looked at Rojo, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Promise me to go to class."

Rojo patted her on the head, and the girl kept her promise and trotted to listen to the professor's class. However, she could still feel her reluctance, but it was better than not studying at all.

At this time, Sonia and John came over and said, "Rojo, we need someone to help with shopping. Are you free?"

[PS: Clarice Fang, you can imagine her as the movie version of Flicker, you know who I’m talking about.]
