Chapter 311: Make a big move
"We believe that the competition between mutants and ordinary people could lead to the destruction of human civilization in this world." Shen He tapped lightly on the table, allowing the rest of the people to focus on him, "In our experience, to eliminate the hatred or estrangement between races, it cannot be achieved by a few people alone, and only after the successful emergence of large-scale coexistence can the overall racial antagonism be gradually eliminated - and only the whole. ”
Humans are wary of mutants, and mutants are wary of humans.
This kind of problem is not something that can be solved by the appearance of a few mutant heroes.
Even if you are a hero, there will be opposition in society.
To give both sides a sense of security, the only way to do this is to have reciprocal control over the authorities between them, and gradually suggest a close network of interests.
This is the premise.
And the Chaldeans will undoubtedly have this strength.
"If there really was such a city, I think we would go there as a family." Although the middle-aged man didn't believe it much, he didn't say anything to death.
"Okay."
Shen He didn't seem to know that the other party was fooling, but opened the notebook seriously and continued to record.
He then asked a few other questions.
For example, where did the other party get information about mutants?
For example, some expectations, some requirements, or some conditions that will aspire to such a mutant city.
Probably seeing Shen He's serious appearance, the tension in the family's hearts gradually relaxed.
I also dare to come up with some ideas of my own.
If this group of people is just some powerful madmen, then the best way not to be hurt by the madmen is to go crazy with the madmen's words.
Ultimately.
Shen He covered his notebook, stood up, and picked up the badge.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation." Shen He stretched out his hand, shook hands with the head of the family, and then handed him a business card, "If something happens and you need help, you can call the number above to find us." ”
"Thank you." The middle-aged man saw that Shen He was planning to leave, and began to feel a little nervous again.
Are they really going to leave like that?
But in fact, Shen He really just left so simply.
Take everyone with you.
It wasn't until the large RV left with a loud roar that the family was relieved from the incredible things that had just happened.
These people really just asked some questions and left!?
"Honey." The white woman held her children and looked at her husband with some excitement, "Is what they said true, is there really a city like that?" ”
The changes in his own family have driven this ordinary mother crazy.
She was afraid that when she woke up one day, someone would come and snatch her children.
"......," the middle-aged man opened his mouth, and finally said, "Perhaps." ”
Although he didn't believe in such a ridiculous thing in his heart.
But this time should also be used to comfort his wife.
And......
Even if that group of people is really crazy, it is also a group of powerful crazy people, what if they really let them achieve it?
On the other side of the day, the madmen in his mouth sat in the carriage and didn't say a word.
Shen He lowered his head and wrote these things in his notebook, as if he was thinking seriously.
Squeak –
The car shook for a while, and Wolverine drove it straight into the wilderness on the side of the road and stopped.
"Hey, Mr. Shen, is what you just said true?" Logan walked into the carriage and sat down directly in front of Shen He, interrupting his thinking without hesitation.
"It's true."
Shen He stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and replied calmly.
"Is anyone really going to save the world?" Logan lit a cherished cigar and put it in his mouth, and immediately smoke curled in the carriage, "Like Santa Claus?" Selfless giving to others as gifts, I always thought that this kind of person only existed in the stories that mothers told children. ”
"If you regain your memory, maybe your mother told you a similar story."
Shen He frowned slightly, he didn't like to smell smoke very much, but he didn't get angry because of this little thing, and patiently explained, "It's like Charles will save mutants as his own responsibility, when people reach a certain height, they always need to do something in line with their identity, and Chaldea was created by people who have the ability to save the world." ”
"Sounds hard to understand." Logan shrugged, "It's kind of stupid." ”
"It's better than doing nothing like you." Shen He looked at him deeply, "Do you really care about the past?" Whenever there is even the slightest joy in your life, you will look forward, instead of trying to find solace in your lost memories. ”
“......”
Logan opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute, but looking at Shen He's gaze, he suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to be a person who had lived for an unknown number of years.
"You won't die either? So that's why I became a savior? Because it's boring? Logan asked.
"Not because it's boring, it's because it's fun." Shen He replied without hesitation, and then the corners of his mouth slightly hooked into a smile, "Why would you help the little naughty who is completely unknown to you?" You may be able to say that it is because of the occasional kindness, but I think it is more due to the fact that the appearance of the little naughty has given you a hint of surprise in your extremely boring world. ”
"Surprise ......"
Logan took a deep puff on his cigar.
Although he never dwelled on these things, it was indeed a little strange to think about it at the moment.
Why did he stop when he left the little naughty and drove away?
"Alright, let's get behind the wheel, let's go find the next target." Shen He finally waved his hand to disperse the air, "Don't smoke in front of us next time, we don't like this thing." ”
"Uh......"
Only then did Logan notice the two rituals frowning slightly.
Took the cigarette and looked around.
There were delicate decorations everywhere, and finally he simply pressed on the palm of his hand, and after gasping, he watched the wound in the palm of his hand heal quickly.
Pouted, ran off to drive.
Shen He is going to take a general look at the current mutant survival situation in this world, and by the way, promote the Chaldea a little.
Even if many people won't believe it, when the truth is revealed to the world, they will know that it is all true.
And, for other purposes, too.
Subsequently, under the guidance of Joan of Arc, everyone successfully found the next one.
This is a middle-aged man who looks no different from ordinary people, but is very careful to hide his superpowers.
He's not old enough to go to a mutant school.
And he also has a family and doesn't want to change his life.
In fact, if Shen He hadn't found him, he would have almost forgotten that he was a mutant.
As a result, he didn't believe that mutants would have a war with humans, and he didn't want to go to the city that Shen He said, and completely treated Shen He and the others as mutant lunatics.
"If you're not worried, why hide your identity?" At the end of his departure, Shen He pointed out the fact that he was paralyzing himself.
Pretending to be an ordinary person is enough to show that he is not as calm as he seems to be about his mutant identity on the surface.
And then the three, the fourth......
Until late at night, in just one afternoon and one night, Shen He and the others found a total of six mutants in this vicinity.
This is enough to show that the probability of the number of mutants is not small.
And among these six mutants.
Without exception, they are trying their best to hide their mutant identities, and they are full of vigilance about the arrival of Shen He and others, the only difference is a girl, she will occasionally go to a hidden mutant bar at night, drink and chat with other compatriots, and vent the frustration and pressure of keeping secrets.
In essence, this is also the status quo of most mutants in society.
They are not very capable.
Unable to resist the government, or even to harm ordinary people, they are under pressure to be seen as "alternative".
In the face of Shen He's proposed urban construction project for the coexistence of mutants and humans, except for the middle-aged mutant who refused, everyone else said that they would consider it, and the girl was even more excited to join them now.
She's had enough of hiding herself.
But her ability is to change the color of her skin, which does nothing in real life except to make herself whiter and softer.
Shen He naturally refused.
"Overall, hiding identities is a trait common to all mutants." Shen He circled an important point in his notes.
"Because no one will welcome us." Logan's voice came from outside the car door.
Since Shen He said that he didn't like the smell of smoke, he ran outside the door to smoke a cigar.
"Are you sure it's not your personal reason?" Shen He joked with a smile.
This Wolverine.
If you are kind to him, he will also be very talkative, but if you are hostile or have a bad attitude, he will be even worse at you.
"Perhaps, but if I reveal my mutant identity in one place, even if I don't do anything, I'll have to leave." Logan said as if he didn't care, "Even if I don't care, I don't want to live in a place where everyone wants to chase you away." ”
For more than 20 years, he has been like this, moving from place to place.
Leave when exposed.
If you don't get exposed, you can live for a while, do whatever you want to make some money, and make a living.
"Little naughty, what about you?" Shen He looked at the little naughty man on the side.
"I ......" the little mischievous voice was a little low, "If I expose my abilities, it means that I have hurt other people......"
"Okay." Shen He is already roughly clear.
"What does the Master want to do?"
Joan of Arc sat beside Shen He and asked with a smile on her face.
With her understanding of Shen He, her own master should already have an idea at this time.
And this idea is to make a big move every time.
"We're going to make a big move." Shen He clapped his palms, "We have to give all mutants the courage to stop hiding their identities anymore, and then we can gather them and start building the city." ”
"That's ......," Joan of Arc had already guessed.
After following Shen He for so long, she gradually became familiar with Shen He's style.
Even if he is just pushing the world to change in the direction he wants, but wanting to change the world is the desire of all people, and it can never be called evil, the difference is only in the result.
The world that Shen He has changed has turned out to be good.
"How do you get started?" Shi also asked with a little interest.
Probably because she has lived alone in this world for three months and has come into contact with a lot of mutants, she is more or less concerned.
"It's the same as originally planned, let's go find some mutants who are powerful and don't take sides." Shen He had already thought of the direction, "After all, we are not mutants, and it is not easy for us to stand up suddenly, and it is not easy to be recognized by most mutants." ”
"Why don't you go to Eric and Charles?" He asked again.
"No, no." Shen He shook his head, "These two people are too stubborn, we go to them now, even if we are convinced, we will lose the initiative in many places, and when everything is settled, they will take the initiative to join in." ”
Among other things, Charles doesn't like to be tough, Magneto will ask to refuse humans to move into the city, and they will all make various demands on the process of gathering mutants.
"So who do we go to first?" Joan of Arc seemed to be not to be outdone, and then asked, "It's good for the master to ask me directly." ”
Shen He glanced at the two of them a little strangely.
In the past, most of them never cared about some of his work, and rarely took the initiative to ask.
Now it looks like it's a competition.
However, he also knew what the reason was, so he could only sneer: "Go to the King of Cards, he knows Logan in the past." ”
He was really a little unaccustomed to it all of a sudden, but he could only be miserable and happy.
"Guys, someone's coming."
At this time, Wolverine outside the door suddenly shouted.
Not far off the road, there are a lot of cars with lights on coming this way.
It's finally here?
Shen He raised his eyebrows, such a big RV, such a loud roar, and such a blatant contact with mutants, it is unlikely that the government will not react.
He left a miniature monitor from Ant-Man with each mutant.
Originally, it was intended that when the government went to trouble these mutants, it could be used as an entry point for initial contact.
But I didn't expect it.
They didn't even go to the mutants, they came to them first.
Dozens of black cars surrounded Shen He and the others' giant RV regiment, but no one got out of the car, and with Shen He's eyesight, he could naturally see clearly that the troops sitting in the car were all heavily armed.
"Dear Mr. Shen." Eventually, it was Congressman Kelly who stepped out of one of the cars in the afternoon, "I was just about to step into the president's office, and then I saw the report about you. ”
"Really?" Shen He did have a little surprise.
He had already guessed that the American authorities of this world would send someone to look for them.
But he didn't expect this person to be Congressman Kelly.
The other party had just escaped death in the afternoon.
It seems that among the mutants I visited before, there should have been people who were under official surveillance, so they reported their affairs directly to Councilor Kelly, who was in charge of mutant matters.
