Chapter 44: Kavin Lane

Pushed by someone, some people who specialize in fighting supercriminals and saving civilians have appeared.

They dress up in fancy clothes and disguise their identities in their own ways.

Some of them are warriors whose bodies have been tempered to the limits of humans, and some are mutants with special abilities.

These masked people, fighting against powerful criminals that ordinary people can't fight, also go to the scene of disasters to save civilians who have suffered accidents.

……

"Teacher, I caught three criminals who robbed the bank today." A young man in a strange costume pushed open the back door of the store, looked at the young man inside and said as if he was inviting merit.

"I've seen that article." Hanmo nodded, and then he noticed a few round holes in the young man's red tights, "Shot again?" ”

“…… Well. The boy lowered his head in embarrassment.

"As I said, your abilities are not invincible." Hanmo said solemnly, "Before your abilities grow, ordinary firearms can kill you. ”

Calvin Lane, a mutant whose abilities have just awakened, was infected by Hanmo during one of his rescue actions and took the initiative to worship him as a teacher.

This is a young man who wants to be a hero. Becoming a hero is a dream that every teenager with normal three views has, but most people don't have this ability.

And Calvin has the potential to be a hero, he has the weakest and strongest abilities.

In natural selection time and time again, the dominant species are retained, the inferior species are eliminated, and the fittest survive, which is the rule of nature.

And his ability is survival of the fittest.

When Hanmo meets him, Calvin is trapped in the scene of the fire, and his awakened abilities at that time, but the newly awakened abilities are not enough to adapt to the environment of the fire scene.

Hanmo will accept him, in addition to his ability, there is also the quality of not giving up in a desperate situation, and saving others.

If it weren't for Hanmo's appearance, he would have died of flames and suffocation.

Survival of the fittest is an ability with a lot of potential to adapt to the optimized body of the environment, keep itself alive, and record this optimization to be released when needed.

It is said to be weak because its adaptation speed is limited, and if Kavin's ability cannot keep up with the changes in the environment, he will die.

"Come on, let's start today's training." Hanmo stood up and walked to the empty basement.

Species that live in water have evolved gills, species that have been attacked have evolved tougher skin, and species that choose to fight have evolved strong bodies and claws......

Carvin's survival of the fittest is to increase this evolutionary speed countless times and find the most suitable way to evolve.

During this time, he gave him a strong body and a certain amount of regenerative ability by striking Kavin. He also used fire, freezing, electric shocks, toxins, and radiation to stimulate his body to adapt to these attacks.

"I'm ready! Teacher, please do your best to ravage me! With a serious face, Kavin said something that would be mistaken for a pervert.

Hanmo nodded earnestly and expertly took out two thick wires for him.

After a while, Kavin, who grabbed the wire, was covered in electric light, he gritted his teeth hard to prevent himself from shouting, if it was an ordinary person, it is estimated that the muscles would have been taken away control by the current long ago, and he couldn't move, let alone shout out.

"Electricity stimulates your body and makes your body tougher, while improving your control over your body and holding on." Han Mo is talking nonsense in a serious way.

"Got it, teacher!" This is the Carvin with his hair standing on end.

"Metal forged by flame removes impurities, allows the flames to scorch your body, and removes your impurities!"

"Good teacher!" This is a carvin that is charred all over and has a meaty aroma.

"A good blade, after being forged by flames, also needs to be cooled at low temperature to persevere."

“…… Yes teacher! "It's a frozen Kavin.

If it were an ordinary person, after suffering such torture, he would have died a long time ago.

But with the support of his abilities, Kavin not only survived these ordeals, which can be called the death penalty, but also became stronger physically. With streamlined muscles, he has a much stronger physique than he had before training, except for his hair.

"Blindly improving your strength will not make you a real powerhouse, you also need to learn to control it and control your power." With that, Hanmo began to train against Kavin, arousing his fighting instincts.

He suppressed his strength and speed to twice that of Kavin, and landed on Kavin's body with a fist full of murderous intent, forcing him to evolve stronger resistance to blows, stronger dynamic vision, stronger strength, and faster speed......

It's just that......

"Teacher, can you switch places, don't hit me in the face all the time......," Carvin protested.

"Attack your face and your attention will be more focused, speeding up the improvement of your dynamic vision."

"I understand your hard work, teacher! You're here to keep me from being hit by bullets...... Slap me in the face as much as you like, teacher! Kavin was moved to tears, then shouted loudly.

Then Hanmo swung his fist again.

Two hours later, a bruised-nosed and swollen Carvin walked out of the basement.

For the next month, Hanmo spent training this promising teenager while instilling some of his own views into his yet-to-be-formed worldview.

"The best way to deal with the most heinous criminals is to kill them." Han Mo said earnestly.

Kavin shook his head and objected, "But I'm just a civilian, even if it's a criminal, I don't have the right to kill him." ”

"What would you do in front of you when a criminal robbed and shot a passerby for money?" Hanmo leads up an example for Kavin to put himself in.

Kavin glanced at Hanmo a little strangely, "I will subdue him, send him to prison, and let him be punished by the law." ”

"What will you do when you take him to prison and he escapes, and in revenge for you who took him in, he killed some civilians to vent his anger?"

"Of course, to catch him again, throw him in prison, so that he can never get out again." Kaven said as a matter of course.

Hanmo thought for a moment, and realized that what he just said might be a little inappropriate, "I forgot to mention that one of those people who were killed for venting their anger was your sister, and he humiliated her to death after knowing her identity. In this case, will you still send him to prison? ”

This time Carvin hesitated, and he put himself in the role that Hammer said, "I...... I do not know. ”

"That's your limitation as an ordinary person." Han Mo said earnestly, "For a true hero, the lives of ordinary people are equivalent to the lives of their own relatives. The word equality should be mentioned all the time in school. Being a hero is not a process of 'you catch criminals, criminals escape from prison and then you catch criminals again', but the elimination of crime, the elimination of injustice, and the protection of the innocent. ”

"But we don't have the right to take someone's life...... Calvin said hesitantly.

"Do you have the right then?" Han Mo interrupted his unfinished words and looked at him sternly, "If you don't make a move, then the police may shoot the criminal in the process of arrest, and then there will be no aftermath." And you? Selfishly in order to be a hero, he takes criminals to prison and fulfills his dream of becoming a hero, regardless of the possible consequences. Those who were killed by the criminals you caught were actually killed by you. ”

Carvin opened his mouth, frozen in place.

"In one place, there were two train tracks, one in use, fenced off, and there were five children sneaking in to play. The other is an abandoned one with a kid who doesn't want to run over and play against the rules, and he's watching them play. There's a train coming and you can only watch them through the surveillance, but there's a lever in front of you, and if you pull it, you can save the lives of the five kids, but only if you ......"

In Kavin's gaze, Hanmo uttered the unfinished words, "What will you do at the expense of that child who obeys the rules?" ”

"I ......" Kavin didn't expect Hanmo to ask him such a question, he turned his head sideways, "Teacher, can I not answer?" ”

"Are you going to run away like an ostrich when you encounter problems in the future?" Han Mo frowned, "It's wrong, the ostrich buries its head in geography to listen to sounds, in order to solve the problem, do you want to be a person who is not even as good as an ostrich?" ”

Kavin was silent, lowered his head, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Han Mo, "Teacher, if it were you, what would be your choice?" ”

"Me? I chose to do nothing. ”

"Do nothing?" What does it mean for Kavin to be stunned and do nothing? If nothing is done, won't the five children die? Yes, there are only two options, wrenching the lever and not triggering the lever.

"If they are not responsible for their own lives, you don't have to be responsible for their lives, and you are not qualified to sacrifice the person who is responsible for their own lives for those five people. It's not a question of who to save, it's a question of if you don't kill the innocent person. This is Hanmo's understanding, the heroes in the movie who sacrifice the few for the sake of the majority have never thought about this kind of problem.

Hanmo doesn't have any affection for the so-called 'righteous' heroes, let alone the criminals.

"You have to learn to think from a more objective point of view, and not be bound by other people's ideas. To become a true hero, you need to learn this. Later on, you will have to make an even more difficult choice, perhaps between your friend and a stranger, a loved one and a stranger, or a loved one and a friend, and a lover. ”

Seeing the young man who was in a state of confusion because of his words, Han Mo sighed, "After all, he is a child, so he still needs education, so he can only figure it out by himself." ”

Until he left here, Calvin was still at a loss, not knowing how long it would take for him to get his answer......

'Are you secretly influencing him with psychological guidance?' ’

"yes." Hanmo made himself a cup of coffee, "I'm not good at educating others with language, so I can only use some small psychological means. ”

In the exchange just now, Hanmo used some small means to guide Kavin, so he would ponder there. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have thought much about this kind of question after hearing it.

"He has the potential to take over from me and keep order in the world after I'm gone. I don't want such a person to be assimilated by those fools and turn him into a puppet who follows the crowd. Speaking of which, Hanmo thought of someone who could control people's minds, "And that hypocritical bald head, his mind control is too strong." With him on the side of the humans, the mutants will be killed by him sooner or later. Next, teach Calvin how to get rid of mind control. ”

There are two ways to immunize mind control, one is to have more powerful psychic power than psychic people, and the other is to make psychic people unable to keep up with the processing speed of the brain, that is, to increase computing power.

But......

Hanmo thought of Charles's unimaginably powerful psychic power before, and he still didn't know how Charles's psychic power had been strengthened to that extent.

Charles's mental strength in that state, even he had to do his best to resist.

"Find a way to get rid of Char...... No, how could I have such a thought. Hammer found himself with the idea of killing Charles, and he killed someone for something that was not 100% sure of what had happened.

"If I do, what's the difference between me and those guys who persecute mutants......"
