Chapter 145

"You human beings can always tell the best and most beautiful lies in the world while mercilessly killing the same kind without even a trace of pity."

The White Queen said half sarcastically and half seriously.

"Major general, how can I be sure that what you just said is from the heart, not like the promises of politicians, the conscience of businessmen and the sweet words of men... These are neither credible nor reliable."

Luke is very satisfied that the conversation is back on track. He doesn't want his partner to be an emotional creature that is too emotional and difficult to think rationally.

Sometimes, sit down and discuss the benefits more frankly.

It is far more practical and effective than talking about feelings and dreams.

"The verbal guarantee may not be credible, but the black and white words written in the contract may not be binding enough."

Luke said faintly.

"Sincerity depends on action."

The White Queen nodded and agreed.

Subconsciously release your hands and no longer maintain the defensive posture of holding your chest.

This proves that her original vigilance towards Luke is loosening.

Aware of this, the major general, with a milder smile on his face, slowed down and said, "with all due respect, Miss frost, what you said earlier is not only human, but also the instinct of natural creatures."

"Future history books may include colonists in North America slaughtering Indians, churches in the Middle Ages burning witches, and the extermination of Jews by the third empire... All of them."

"But this is not to prove that human beings are born to love killing and have a cruel and tyrannical nature, but to warn future generations of how terrible greed, ignorance and ambition will bring to the world."

"Any biological population that has wisdom and knows how to think is very complex. If it is simply judged and measured by the binary concept of good and evil, it can only form the inherent cognition of arrogance and prejudice."

The White Queen sat with her legs tilted. She had a beautiful curve. She didn't continue to tighten, but gradually relaxed.

"To tell you the truth, major general, you remind me of my college teacher."

She said so.

Luke smiled. The white queen, born in a rich family in Boston, had an obvious teacher plot.

In his well-known timeline, Emma frost almost became a teacher with the support of her parents.

After that, he also cooperated briefly with the bald professor.

Joined the Xavier Academy of youth talents and served as president for some time.

Later, several camps and positions changed, mostly as teachers and leaders of the younger generation of mutants.

Therefore, people with spiritual ability are probably very suitable for education.

"I just hope he's not a bald guy who likes to take advantage of young female students. That's very shocking."

Luke shrugged and said in a humorous tone.

The atmosphere in the suite living room gradually eased down.

"No. He's as young as you... Handsome, especially when talking, confident and infectious."

Luke keenly caught the dim light in the White Queen's eyes and guessed that the other party had obviously had a not perfect teacher-student love.

"Then he's really a lucky guy to have an admirer like Miss frost."

He continued to cut into the topic as if he were chatting.

"When I was young, I didn't know anything."

The White Queen shook her head. She really liked the university teacher.

Unfortunately, the ignorant first love has not yet blossomed and fruited, just because the identity of the mutant died.

That was one of the reasons why she left Boston.

Mutant people seem to be disgusting infectious diseases, which makes the White Queen suffer discrimination and exclusion.

She can only keep warm with her compatriots' newspaper group, so as to get a little sense of security and identity.

"Let's get back to the point, major general. How can we build trust between Hellfire club and Divine Shield?"

The White Queen abandoned her distractions. She realized that she was too easy to relax her vigilance in front of Luke, which was very abnormal for a spiritual person.

In most cases, you should be the dominant speaker.

"When the peace summit is held, s.h.i.e.l.e.l.d. will suggest that the White House promote relevant bills to improve the situation of mutants."

Luke said firmly.

"At that time, Miss frost can see my sincerity."

The White Queen was moved when she heard the speech.

She is not an ambitious like Sebastian Shaw. She just wants to use the mutant as a tool to win enough power and status for herself.

If the s.h.i.e.l.d. can really facilitate this, it is not impossible for the Hellfire club to change its position.

"But... There are actually many people in the club who are loyal fans of Xiao."

After thinking for a moment, the White Queen felt a little embarrassed.

If she promised, she would be guilty of "traitor" and "informant".

"As I said, any creature has the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages."

Luke said in a relaxed tone.

Sebastian Shaw was not his opponent when he was alive.

Is there any wind and waves after death?

The major general smiled and said calmly, "most of the hatred and resentment of mutants towards mankind come from the tragic experience of persecution and abuse."

"But, Miss frost, you probably don't know that Sebastian Shaw, the last king of the Hellfire club, once elected 431 people in Auschwitz concentration camp. They were prisoners between the ages of 16 and 30."

"Miss frost, do you know how he did it?"

Feeling Luke's calm tone, the white queen had some palpitations and subconsciously said, "what did Shaw do?"

"Like livestock, they are driven into the steam chamber, suffering from the high temperature of fainting and dehydration, and then thrown into wooden barrels soaked with ice."

"In addition, there are continuous electric shock therapy, hours of beating, flogging, and even sleep deprivation. All kinds of torture are performed on these people until they die."

The White Queen's back cooled. Through Luke's calm description, she seemed to have witnessed those cruel pictures with her own eyes.

She couldn't help asking, "Xiao... Why did he do this?"

As a later member of the Hellfire club, Emma frost can become a "Queen" not because of her qualifications, but because of her personal ability.

Therefore, she knows nothing about Sebastian Shaw's past.

"Why do you do this?"

Luke said with a slight sarcasm: "because he tried to find out the code that opens the door of evolution hidden in the mutant X gene."

"Sebastian Shaw is a graduate of the Academy of biological sciences of Oxford University. His X gene is recessive and will not awaken his natural ability in adolescence."

"But this guy is very smart. He found that X gene can easily fluctuate with external stimuli, especially emotions, resulting in wonderful changes similar to chemical effects."

"The above torture is just to find the law of genetic change and master the method of 'making' mutant people."

The White Queen's red lips opened slightly, as if shocked.

She did not expect that the king of the Hellfire club was full of talk about striving for better rights and higher status for his compatriots, but he had such a black history behind his back.

"Is all this true?"

The White Queen was hard to believe. She once regarded Sebastian Shaw as the Savior of the mutant and a trusted great mentor.

"There are detailed files in the s.h.i.e.l.d. Bureau. If you have any doubts, you can consult them yourself. Of course, the documents can be fake, but the crimes committed will always leave traces. There are several survivors of concentration camps in Poland who know very well about the criminal acts of the 'King'."

Luke looked at the skeptical White Queen and said in a deep voice, "as a spiritual power, there should be very few people in the world who can lie in front of you. I believe you will naturally make a correct judgment."

"Miss frost, as long as you disclose the ugly face of Sebastian Shaw, you will change from a 'traitor' and an 'informant' to the first 'hero' to discover the truth, take action and save your compatriots."

Luke spread his hand and said it was the perfect ending.

Anyway, the dead can't speak and put all the charges on Sebastian Shaw.

The mutant of Hellfire club will gradually change his view of the White Queen.

The White Queen stared directly at Luke and said with emotion after a long time: "major general, you are more like a spiritual person who rewrites facts and manipulates thinking than I am."

"It's just taking advantage of biological nature. Frost - can I call you Emma? I think the Hellfire club is happy to accept a new king and... A new queen."

Luke took up his glass, handed it to the white queen, smiled and said, "Emma, let's drink to the bright future of mutants."

The latter was silent for a moment and then took the glass of whisky with ice.

The wine glasses collided and made a crisp sound.

This conversation, which was originally a question, turned into a discussion about the leader of Hellfire club and the future of mutants.

Even the white queen herself doesn't know why.

Everything is like starting to execute accurately according to the written script.

"The black king is dead, major general. Are you going to be the white king of the Hellfire club?"

The White Queen took a sip of the cold liquid. Her heart seemed to break free from the heavy shackles and was no longer affected by the views of her compatriots.

She had to admit that if Luke did what he said, the mutants would have a better future.

I think I can save my suffering compatriots and become a... Hero.

Emma's heart is ready to move.

"What's the problem? The club already has a queen, and of course it needs a king."

Luke put down his glass and stood up.

"I think I'm a good fit, don't you think?"

The White Queen also left the sofa, looked up slightly, looked at the tall young major general, and smiled at the corners of her mouth: "I think so, too."
