Chapter 57: Repression
"Dear gentlemen! Ladies! And our lovely little ones! Next, enjoy our signature show! ”
"That's right, what you are looking for is a mutant, a mutant monster that makes people feel terrible and changes color!"
"But mind you, with us, they're just for our fun...... Fantastic Species! ”
With the host's words, a performer with a long whip in his hand flicked the whip and whipped it on the back of a mutant.
The mutant had a hard shell on its back and short limbs, and it looked like a large standing turtle.
When the whip fell on him, he immediately fell to the ground obediently, crawling around on the ground like a turtle.
Seeing this scene, warm applause rang out, but many people watched this scene and showed disgust.
Mike frowned, looked at Charles and Eric, and said, "Don't look at it, let's go!" ”
"Daddy!" Charles's face turned pale and he said, "Is he the same as us?" ”
At this point, Mike was tempted to say 'no' to the kid, but in the end he nodded.
Because he knew that Charles and Eric already had the answer, and the word 'no' at this time seemed particularly pale and false, and now these two children needed a warm hug that they could rely on and could hide from malice.
So he walked up to Charles and hugged him.
Charles was a little scared, but he still showed a pair of eyes from Mike's shoulder and looked at the performance.
"These people are disgusting! These bitches raised! ”
Eric let out a low scolding, feeling nothing but rage.
At this moment, because of their mutant status, they can't help but feel a sense of empathy.
Mike didn't blame Eric for exploding foul language, but pressed Eric into his arms and said, "Control yourself, don't run out of power." ”
Eric nodded, buried his head in Mike's arms, and stopped going to the show.
Clarke, on the other hand, also turned his head in disgust, he felt a little disgusted at this time, because in some ways, he had a lot in common with mutants.
The show continues.
In addition to the mutant at the beginning, there is also a mutant.
The mutant's body had also mutated, with the antennae of insects, and her ability to blow out crystal-like bubbles that were beautiful in the light of the light.
At this point, the two mutants are like animals that have appeared before, performing for everyone to the sound of whips and whistles.
Eric clenched his fists and suddenly said, "Dad, I want to save them!" ”
Mike groaned and said to Charles, "You contact them and see what they mean." ”
Charles wiped away his tears and looked at the mutants crawling on the ground.
The mutant was stunned, and his eyes began to search the crowd, but as the whip sounded, he continued to climb up.
After a few seconds, Charles looked shocked, then looked at another person.
"How?"
Seeing that Charles's face was not good-looking, Mike asked, but he had already vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.
"They all refused."
"What?" Eric's eyes widened and he whispered incredulously, "How is that possible?" ”
"They said that if they leave here, they will have a worse life, and they will not even have enough to eat, and here they can at least get some money." Charles spoke bitterly and sobbed quietly.
And so it was.
Mike sighed inwardly.
He picked up the two children and said to Clark, "Let's go." ”
Staying here any longer, he was really afraid that Charles and Eric would not be able to control their abilities and run wild.
Clark nodded, and walked out of the circus with Mike.
The show on stage has ended, and the funny clowns come to the stage to end the show with exaggerated and hilarious movements, bringing joy to the people.
But the Kent family didn't feel happy at all.
Leaving the circus, the feeling that made Charles and Eric suffocate slowly dissipated.
Mike led the three of them to a restaurant and ordered something to eat.
The three little guys didn't look good, they just drank the juice in small sips, and they didn't have any appetite.
Clark looked at the two of them, sighed softly, and said to Mike, "Dad, why did they refuse?" ”
Hearing this, Charles and Eric both looked up at Mike.
Mike took a sip of coffee, took a long breath, and said slowly, "You saved them, and then what?" ”
Eric excitedly said, "Then they were free." ”
"Freedom? Can freedom keep them from going hungry and allow them to live? As they look, do you think they can find a job to support themselves? ”
Eric was silent, but Charles said cautiously: "We can help them, we can help them live!" ”
"We saved these two, can that save all the mutants? Can all mutants be given jobs? ”
Charles also fell silent.
At this moment, Eric looked at Mike firmly and said, "Then we will save everyone!" ”
Charles looked at Eric in shock, sensing the feeling in Eric's heart that was as hot as magma and would burst out at any time, and also clenched his fists and said: "Yes, we will save everyone!" ”
Mike looked at the two aspiring children and smiled, "But not now. ”
"You must grow up enough to fulfill this wish."
"But no matter what, as long as you are right, Dad will support you!"
The two nodded heavily.
Mike rubbed the heads of the two of them and said, "Eat, growth starts with filling your stomach." ”
"Hmm!"
The two of them answered and gulped.
Clark's gaze swept over his father and his two younger brothers, and his heart was extremely warm, and he was proud to have such a family.
Half an hour later, the four of them filled their stomachs and left the restaurant.
The night is just right, and the city is still brightly lit.
As Christmas approached, they walked around the street, relaxed, and saw that it was not too early before driving home.
It's a long way from the villa where they live.
Fortunately, Mike was highly skilled and fast, and he came to the vicinity of the villa area after a while.
Driving along the curvy road leading to the villa, Mike looked back at Eric and Charles, and shook his head with a smile after seeing that their eyes were wide open, not a little sleepy, as if they were thinking about something.
It seems that tonight's events have had a bit of a big impact on the two of them.
But if you want to change something, go for it.
At this moment, Clark, who had been looking ahead, changed his face and said, "Dad, get ready to stop!" ”
"How?"
"Help!"
"Huh?"
