Present and Future

"Can you describe it in detail? What kind of ability does an evolved person have? Is the future direction of human housing exhibition clear?" The reporter asked.

"Oh, we do need to talk about this. Evolvers have all kinds of abilities. Eric, let everyone see your ability and make a smaller noise," Wesley said to Eric beside him.

Eric nodded, then lifted a fountain pen from the table and flew it to everyone's face. "Oh, my God, is this a superpower?"

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. This is the ability of evolvers. All of them are talented and have various abilities. This brings about some problems. Some people will hide themselves and don't want others to know that they are different, but some people want to use their abilities to do bad things, so we need a special organization to deal with these problems."

"The X-Men exist for this reason. The first director is Charles Xavier, who is next to me. He is a professor of genetics and also an evolver. The one who just performed is the deputy director, Mr. Eric Lanshell. At the same time, the X-Men General Headquarters will set up a school to educate teenagers who have already had X-Gene mutations so that they can use their abilities well and not be afraid of it. This is a talent. They are the first."

"General, are you sure that they are pioneers and not aliens?" A male reporter suddenly asked loudly, which made many people talk. Wesley was not surprised at all and looked straight at him.

"Do you think so because you want to find some news? Or do you think they are aliens and want to start a race problem? Or do you want to start a war? Now you answer me." Wesley stood up and asked directly. There was silence.

"I… I'm just guessing," the reporter stammered.

"Speculation? Freedom of the press, but you can guess at will? Is there any difference between their bodies and humans? Most humans have X genes in their bodies, so these people are all aliens. Can I think of it this way? Because there is a high chance that their children will inherit this gene. Then are those without this gene considered humans or aliens?"

"Some of you want to see the world in chaos. Do you know what the consequences of provocation are? It's a war, a huge war of attrition within all of humanity. None of you can be spared. This is the result of your guess. Do you want it?"

"No, no, no, General, this is not what I wanted." The reporter was about to cry because of Wesley.

"Then what do you want? I set up the X-Men Headquarters because of people like you. Some people ignore the future for the sake of immediate benefits. The number of evolvers has been increasing, especially with the development of technology. Then in the future, the number of evolvers will continue to increase, and their abilities will be strange. Ordinary people will feel fear, which requires the right guidance. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable," Wesley said heavily.

"Under the deliberate provocation of some people like him, what are the consequences? Will there be a war? We can foresee this. Humans begin to strangle their future because they are not one of them. They are afraid. After some simple provocation, they are very likely to be more radical. Then what are the consequences of war? The genes of evolvers are in everyone's body. This will not disappear. People keep starting wars and suddenly find that the evolvers around them keep increasing, and then they keep killing?"

The reporters were silent. If Wesley was telling the truth, there would be no end to the killing. It could very well be their own people or their children.

"Well, the press conference is over. I hope you can bring out the sense of justice of a reporter and write the content of this press conference seriously and tell the public that this is not scary. Just as we have the police to deal with different people, the X-Men will deal with evolved criminals, and the children who have changed can be sent to us for education. All the students here will be evolved."

With that, Wesley turned and walked away. He had said all he wanted to say. The world was not his home, and he would do what he could. But the exact extent of his development was not something he could control alone. Even if he had a high reputation and power, the human heart could not be controlled. He could only do so much.

The next day, it was reported in all the newspapers. The reporter who was frightened by Wesley almost cried. No one knew what he was thinking, but he still said in the report, "Are they humans? Or aliens? Where are humans going?" Although it was not much, it still made his newspaper sell. What could Wesley say about it?

At X-Men General Headquarters, Wesley sat at the head of the table. Below him were all the personnel, including the original Hellfire members. "You've all seen the reports. Some people's newspapers continue to report indiscriminately in order to attract attention. We can't control these. This is the crisis I'm talking about. Some people won't care about the future. They only look at the present."

"So, what you need to do next is a lot. You have to let people have the right understanding. Evolvers are humans. The only difference between them and humans is that they have a little ability, but these abilities are not invincible. You still have too few people now. The school has to be set up as soon as possible. Charles, I have improved the brain domain magnifying machine, which can help you complete the search for people. The White Queen needs to join and she can help you."

"Understood, General," Charles said.

"Well, the other thing is the equipment. The equipment you need will be shipped here later. There are vehicles and weapons. This kind of weapon is your regular weapon." Wesley took out a pistol, a frozen gun in the Marvel Universe that can paralyze people.

"This is a frozen gun. Its function is to paralyze people. You all have to learn to use firearms. Your abilities can only be used when necessary. This weapon has no lethality and can only make people unconscious. It suits you very well. Of course, there will be lethal weapons, but try to use them as little as possible. People are afraid of evolvers, and they are afraid of your destructive power. You have to think about this carefully, so you have to pay attention to this in the mission. Agent McTeague, you are responsible for recruiting ordinary people into the X-Men headquarters. At the moment, a large number of ordinary people are needed for paperwork."

"Understood. I'll start right away."
