Section 1 Crossing Mutant Tom White
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? ”
It is said that when a soul wakes up from the most confused and chaotic state, it will subconsciously send out a quality trifecta that points directly to the origin of the universe.
"I'm Chang Chuang, and I'm Tom White? Wasn't I supposed to die? Am I borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul? ”
But when your soul gradually awakens, the memories of the past will come back to your mind.
Chang Chuang, a successor born in the new century, who grew up under the red flag, and who is the future successor of the motherland, should be in this state at present.
·····
Chang Chuang, although the name sounds a little weird. However, Chang Chuang's father said that the reason why Chang Chuang's grandfather gave him this name was that he hoped that Chang Chuang could grow up healthy and healthy, and then go south and north like his name.
Unfortunately, the heavens always do not fulfill people's wishes. At the age of five, Chang Chuang was diagnosed with a congenital intracranial tumor.
Fortunately and happily, Chang Chuang has a family that loves him and is willing to pay for him. Although the confrontation with the disease has only lasted for 20 years, he is grateful, and happy when he is dying.
"So God favors me to live again, am I Tom White in this life? It's a pretty bad name, it's even worse than my previous name. Tom, if I'm not mistaken, this is the name of a cat in a cartoon from a past life, right?
But what's going on in this world full of déjà vu? Playboy Tony Stark, the captain of the world idol matchmaker, the mutant of the public enemy of humanity? This world seems to be very similar to a series of movies I watched in my previous life? ”
The so-called rebirth through the corpse is the rebirth of a soul, with the help of a dead body. Naturally, the soul will accept everything that the dead body had in its lifetime, including its memories.
According to the memories of a man named Tom White that Chang Chuang received from this strange body, he found that the world was very similar to the series of Marvel movies he had seen in his previous life in his hospital bed.
There is Tony Stark, who has not yet become Iron Man, and there is the matchmaker captain who is still a popsicle. The most important thing is that there are mutants who are incompatible with the official water and fire of mankind.
And according to the memories of Tom White, the previous owner of his current body. He often breaks into the identity of this life, Tom White, is a mutant.
Compared with Chang Chuang, who lived a very happy and satisfied life even after suffering from a terminal illness in his previous life, Tom White, who was occupied by Chang Chuang's body and died completely, is a diametrically opposite life.
Little Tom was born in a mutant family in the late eighties, with grandparents, father and mother, all of whom are authentic mutants. Because of their mutant status, their family lives like rats in the gutter, living cautiously and fearfully every day.
However, even this seemingly very difficult life was completely ruined four years ago, that is, two thousand years in this world, by Magneto, one of the two major leaders of mutants.
Two thousand years ago, Magneto, who was bent on "saving" his fellow mutants, took his mutant brotherhood to make waves again. This time, Magneto not only put himself in the trap, but also further deteriorated the relationship between human nations and mutants.
For example, Ghana University, which had the best attitude towards mutants before, directly banned mutants from other countries from entering the country because of the Magneto incident. And changed the previous kind attitude towards mutants, and began to monitor and investigate the existing mutants in the country.
If you had a bad attitude before, it will be even worse after this incident. For example, the government of the matchmaker country simply issued a ban on arrest and prison, making it clear that it would exterminate all the mutants in the matchmaker's territory.
It was in this context of the times that Little Tom's originally incomplete life became completely fragmented under the arrest of the matchmaker's military.
The enemy of the whole world, and the identity of their mutant family is constantly discovered by the ordinary people around them. Then, an endless pursuit from the matchmaker's military followed. Little Tom's grandparents, father and mother, in order to cover his escape and capture, were successively poisoned by the matchmaker's military, or were arrested or killed.
But in either case, little Tom, who was only twelve years old at the time, knew deep down that he would probably never see them again. After all, in this human country that has regarded mutants as natural enemies, as long as you are not a fool and a person, you know that once mutants are caught, what awaits them is the fate of being killed and then the cells being sent to experiments.
Without the protection of his parents and grandparents, how can little Tom gain a foothold in this crisis-ridden society? So young Tom had to live by begging, wandering and hiding in the most chaotic Hell's Kitchen in New York.
Fortunately, whether it is the pursuit of the matchmaker military or the ruffian gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, there is no interest in Little Tom, a hungry beggar. It was under the cover of his identity as a beggar that little Tom was able to starve and survive for another four years.
It wasn't until February 2004, the coldest winter in nearly 30 years, that little Tom finally couldn't stand it anymore and froze to death on an unknown street in Hell's Kitchen.
"Are mutants so miserable?"
If you don't have "personal" experience, just relying on the plot of the movie you watched in your previous life, it is estimated that you can't imagine that the living environment of mutants in the matchmaker country is so bad.
You must know that in the movies of the previous life, as long as there were mutants who had appearances, few were as miserable as Little Tom's family. Compared with those mutants in the movie, Chang Chuang feels that Tom Jr.'s life is more like a coffee table, full of cups.
But if you think about it carefully, you feel that it is inevitable. After all, those who can enter Xavier's gifted youth school are either powerful first- and second-level mutants, X-Men, or a group of mutant children who have not yet had much contact with society.
How can such a person represent a mutant?
In fact, for most of the mutants in this world, what happened to Tom's family is representative of them. Compared to the powerful X-Men, most of the mutants are level three, four, and five mutants with little or even less strength than ordinary people. Such mutants are the main force that makes up the mutant race.
The movies of the previous life could not and could not show the audience what kind of life ordinary mutants were like in such a society. After all, no matter how great Professor X is, how many people can he shelter?
"So, little Tom, no, what is it that I, my power?"
Thinking of this, Chang Chuang became interested in his own abilities.
What kind of mutant ability did little Tom have during his lifetime, this is the foundation of whether Chang Chuang can gain a foothold in this world. If Tom is the kind of fourth- or fifth-level mutant who is not only weak, but also has big physical defects, then even if Chang Chuang is a traverser, I am afraid that he will inevitably follow in the footsteps of Tom and embark on the road of dying before leaving the school.
After all, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, isn't it?
If you don't have a strong mutant ability, let alone evade the pursuit of the matchmaker's military, I'm afraid how to fill your stomach next will be difficult for Chang Chuang.
"This, this ability seems to... It should be powerful, right? ”
After searching back and forth for the memories left by Tom several times, Chang Chuang found the part about his mutant abilities.
Because he was afraid that his mutant identity would be discovered, Tom's father and mother forbade him to use or mention his mutant abilities when Tom was very young.
So the fragments about this are buried in the depths of Little Tom's deep, deep memory.
"Turning what you imagine into reality? Isn't this the embodiment of the term "two-thorn newt"? Also, how does this ability resemble a real-life gem? ”
Embodyment.
Yes, this is the mutant ability that Tom Jr. mastered before his death and Chang Chuang now. It looks like it's powerful, if you want a knife, you can have a knife, if you want a gun, you can have a gun, if you want a beautiful woman, cough, that's it...
"Ah, a headache..."
However, it turns out that even YY has limits. When Chang Chuang had a whim and tried to use his ability to manifest a great beauty in this world, his head suddenly felt like an explosion, and the pain was so painful that he had to grab the ground with his head, hoping that he could get better.
"Tsk, poor little one. Hey, let's get something to eat. ”
"Boss, why did you suddenly launch a kindness, and it was still a hundred knives when you made a move?"
"My little four had it yesterday, and I've been thinking about whether to do something good during this time. And you see, this beggar is really pitiful, and his forehead is broken. ”
Chang Chuang: "·····." ”
Looking at the broken bowl in front of him, a brand new Franklin. Tom wondered if the mob boss who wanted to show kindness had misunderstood something?
"If that can't be, can that be?"
Ignoring the gang boss who had suddenly become kind and fading away, Tom's previously distracted gaze from the pain reunited, staring straight at Franklin in the broken bowl as if he were dull, and fantasizing about what he wanted to manifest with all his might.
"yes, sure enough..."
Stretching out a hand, he quickly handed out the bowl to Franklin, who had been given to him by the former mob boss. and another hundred-dollar bill that appeared out of thin air, brand new, with only a few numbers changed in the serial number, and thrust into his tattered leather jacket, Tom hurried away under the horrified and red-eyed gazes of several beggars nearby.
"Promotion, fortune and death, the three fortunate things in life, Uncle Gang will not deceive me."
The so-called peers are enemies, and this is also true in the food industry. Chang Chuang didn't believe it, after Little Tom froze to death last night, none of the beggars in the vicinity noticed.
Now, "Little Tom" has not only come back to life, but also "has a huge amount of money". If it weren't for the sudden kindness of the black boss who hadn't gone far, the nearby peers would probably have rushed over to "ask" the reason for Chang Chuang.
