Chapter 330: Mutant Thief
Looking at Charles, who was controlling Logan's speech in front of him, Shen He's heart was already a little unhappy.
This famous professor is indeed bent on the future of mutants.
It's just that his vision of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans has reached the point of going crazy, and he can't tolerate any behavior that will hurt the relationship between the two.
"I never thought my wish would be so close to me." Charles didn't seem to notice Shen He's displeasure at all, but was very excited.
He searched for Shen He and others that day to no avail, but after getting relevant information from the presidential palace, he went directly to Councilor Kelly.
Then he got this news that made him extremely excited.
A city that belongs to mutants!
If the government can really allow such a city to exist, then a future in which humans and mutants can live in peace is just around the corner.
"Now, you can sit back and wait for your wish to come true." Shen He didn't want to say anything.
The character and obsession formed over decades cannot be changed in a few words.
"Mr. Shen, to build such a city, it is inseparable from the support of the US government and even countries around the world." Charles finally began to explain his intentions, "I have met with Mr. President, and on behalf of the government, he has agreed to negotiate and can sit down with us and discuss the possibility of building a mutant city. ”
Shen He felt a wave of disappointment.
The U.S. government would of course agree that once all mutants are centralized, it will be a great success for their mutant registration bill.
"I don't believe you don't understand, it's the equivalent of putting the mutants of the entire city safely in human hands." Shen He couldn't help but ask after all.
"But, it's a great start." Charles was silent for a moment, as if trying to persuade someone, and said in a hurry, "There is a city of mutants that allows humans to hear our true voices, and can let them know that we are not a threat and that we are as eager for an ordinary life as they are"
"Enough!" Shen He rudely interrupted Charles's voice.
This is simply naïve.
Charles should have known the darkness of human nature better than anyone else, but he believed in the goodness of human nature more than anyone else.
He still believes that mutants and humans do not necessarily oppose each other, and as long as the two sides are open and honest, they can get along.
This thinking cannot be said to be wrong.
It's just completely out of line with the theme of this era, or the world.
Open?
Even if humans have the guts and courage to do so, many mutants are seriously misogynistic because they are discriminated against, and they can't give up their ambitions and status from power in life.
"Freedom, equality, and justice, with the development of the times, will indeed become the symbol of civilization." Shen He's voice softened slightly, "But, this is only because this is in the interests of the vast majority of people, even if it is difficult to have fairness and justice between different countries, not to mention different races, you don't need to say anything, just wait with peace of mind, the future of mutants will be handed over to us." ”
After finishing speaking, he gestured to the two ceremonies.
It's just a thought.
directly expelled Charles's consciousness from Logan's body.
Today's two rituals can also borrow the power of the root to a small extent, although it is limited by strength and not really "omnipotent", but it is the same as the Eye of Death, specializing in bells and whistles.
"What happened?"
Rogan felt as if he had just woken up from sleep.
"Charles has control of your mind." Shen He replied, "Then I hope I can agree to the human government to participate in the construction of our city." ”
"Is he crazy?"
Logan shook his head, a little incredulous.
The Mutant City involves the human government, which is not the same as packing up fellow mutants and giving them to humans.
"He's not crazy, he just doesn't have enough vision." Shen He glanced at Logan meaningfully.
Logan personally went to the Sky Garden, knowing the strength of the Chaldeans, since the Chaldeans were able to build a city with such a transcendent status in that world, it would not be difficult to be in this world.
But Charles did not understand and did not understand.
In his opinion, without the approval of the human government, such a city could not be built at all, or rather, it would mean war.
"Charles's instrument, let's destroy it." Shi suddenly spoke.
Shen He thought about it seriously.
It seemed necessary, after all, Charles could use that thing to control the minds of anyone in the world, except Magneto with a helmet.
This is equivalent to saying that he can monitor himself and others through others at any time.
Shen He can almost understand Magneto's feelings, and he doesn't ask Charles for help, just that he won't mess up.
"Next time, next time I'll find an excuse."
Shen He shook his head, and suddenly regretted a little, just now he should have taken the opportunity to make a wave of rage, and then send someone to destroy it.
It's just that it's now in Mexico.
But it's not good, because of such a thing, I asked Saiki Kusuo, the only one who has the ability to teleport, to run.
The plane gradually decreases in altitude.
Eventually landed near the city called Anlei.
"Is Pai King in there?" Shen He asked.
"Hmm." Joan of Arc nodded, "In the picture I saw, he was in a casino in the city. ”
"I can guarantee that there are at least 100 casinos in a city like this." Wolverine interjected.
Although he had never been here, he had seen too many cities like this, chaotic, dark, and lawless.
Shen He stood outside the city, but he was in no hurry to get in.
If I'm not mistaken, the Pai Huang of this period is already the leader of the thieves' union, which is why he came to Pai Huang in the first place.
First of all, you have to pull up a large team of mutants before you have the foundation to stand on the table.
"Let's go." Shen He said in a low voice.
At this time, there were no so-called city walls, and a group of people walked along the road, and when they saw some dark houses scattered on both sides, they arrived at the scope of the city.
To avoid trouble, Joan of Arc uses a magic trick that idlers don't see.
This is not a large, modern city, the surrounding buildings are disorganized, unplanned, uneven, walking on the road, you can see the alleys between the houses, the inside is dim, and you don't know where it leads.
With Shen He's hearing, he could clearly hear the chaos hidden under the city, and everywhere he could hear the screams of terror and hysterical screams from those alleys.
"Master." Joan of Arc suddenly pointed in a direction, "That child"
Not far away, in the alley, a ragged child rushed out, followed by a large crowd of people.
Even though he was being chased by so many people, there was not much horror on the child's face.
It's better to say that there is more of a sadistic demeanor.
He stood in the last shadow of the alley, grimaced behind him, and then shook his body, already mixed in with the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There's no doubt that it's a mutant.
Thief?
Shen He heard the angry shouts of the group of adults, and his mind moved.
Lucien was no ordinary thief.
He's a mutant, and he's a member of the Thieves' Guild Guild, and he's even loved by the guild leader, making him an absolute top performer in the city.
But he likes to wear tattered things, steal their wallets in the disgusted eyes of the adults, and then at the end he will take the wallet and dangle it in front of them, watch them look angry, and then turn around and run.
It's the same today.
Although the person who stole today turned out to be the leader of a small gang, he still escaped easily.
This is because of his ability – to distort light.
Flicking his wallet, Lucien had a smug smile on his small face, which, in his experience, was a great harvest.
So, who is next?
With some excitement, Lucian went into an alley again, and lay on the ground, like a real beggar, catching his next prey.
He enjoyed it.
Suddenly, a figure approached him, and stood in front of him, dressed in a long dress that looked bright and neat, and Lucien was excited, for women with a little bit of status and money loved nothing more than to find superiority in a child like him, and only to stain her clothes a little
Lucien reached out and tried to touch his dirty little hand to the corner of the skirt in front of him.
He caught it, and left a jet black on it!
Come on, come on, get angry.
Lucien looked up impatiently, wanting to see the angry and ruined expression of the woman in front of him.
And yet—
It was a very, very beautiful girl, and the moment she saw her smile, Lucien felt a blank in her head.
This kind of look! This kind of look!
Lucian, though young, had already endured too many stares, contempt, contempt, disgust, and fear, and he had gradually learned to find pleasure in them, but no one had ever looked at him with such seriousness, as if with care.
This situation that he had never encountered before, overwhelmed him!
"You," the girl said, "why are you stealing?" ”
As expected, a very, very gentle and crisp voice, but the words made Lucian stand up as if he had been greatly stimulated.
"You have to take care of it!"
His face turned red, he shouted at the top of his voice, then turned and ran.
Obviously haven't stolen the woman's stuff yet.
But even he didn't know why he was running, and there seemed to be an emotion in his heart that he had never felt before, ashamed? Impossible! He has never been ashamed of stealing, and has survived by stealing for as long as he can remember.
He just wanted to escape.
Bang——!
Because he was too focused on the thoughts in his mind and didn't notice the few people who appeared in front of him at some point, Lucian hit the leg of one of them, and his thin body bounced straight out.
Asian?
Quickly getting up from the ground, Lucian saw three people in front of him, an Asian man, an Asian woman, and a white man with a sideways face who didn't look like a good person.
With his experience, he can see at a glance that the Asian man in front of him is either rich or expensive, not only in terms of bearing, but also in clothes without a brand, which are also made of excellent materials.
Plus there's a white strong man as a bodyguard.
"You"
As soon as the man in front of him spat out a word, Lucian gave a mocking expression, and then turned and ran.
Rich people don't have a good thing!
Lucian's ability is only suitable for running, and he can also be invisible for a short time, and he is not lethal.
And—
"Run!" When passing by the extremely beautiful girl, he shouted directly, "If a girl like you is seen, she will be arrested!" ”
In this city, or the vast majority of cities, beauty is a sin.
He has seen too many beautiful girls and they all end up tragically.
So if the rich Asian people in the back see this girl, he can already imagine what the consequences will be.
However, when Lucian finished shouting, he found that the girl did not follow, but did not move.
Cut, where did the eldest lady come from?
Lucian wanted to run on his own, but for some reason, he stopped, gritted his teeth, and reached out to grasp a small dagger at his waist behind his back.
Just the words of three people
The boy, who was ready to fight, saw a scene that he would never forget.
The Asian man, whom he had identified as a bad person, walked up and took the extremely beautiful girl in his arms.
"Good work, Joan of Arc."
"It's just a small thing." Joan of Arc was a little shy.
Just now, Shen He asked her to spiritualize and catch up with the boy who stole things, this is indeed a trivial matter, I don't know why the master is so intimate.
There are the rest of the people here.
In fact, Shen He put his arms around Joan of Arc, but his eyes looked at the little boy, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Naturally, he did it on purpose.
This is the first time they have met, and I don't know if I can say a word, but this boy who is no more than eleven or twelve years old dares to prepare to move on three people for the sake of Joan of Arc.
Hehe, little brat.
Just when Shen He was enjoying his bad taste, Lucien was already with tears in his eyes, and for the first time in his life, he felt the cruelty of the world.
"Big liar!"
He couldn't hold back his shouting anymore, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and then turned and ran.
But I felt like I was being carried by the back collar, and the whole thing was hanging in the air.
How is this possible!?
He had already used his ability to construct a few phantoms around him, how could he still be caught.
"Hey." Shen He handed the boy he picked up to Logan and grabbed it, and asked, "You're a thief, right?" ”
"Yes."
Lucian struggled vigorously for a while, but found that it was useless, and could only honestly lower his head, putting on a pitiful appearance that was not threatening.
Aside from the ability to distort light in a small area and confuse others' sight, his calves are not as thick as Logan's arm, and once caught, there is no way to do it.
At this time, you can only be honest.
