Chapter 52: Awakening and Decision

"Da Da Da-"

Almost subconsciously, Jimmy activated his ability, and the bullet that was about to pierce the flesh and blood of the two and beat them into a sieve lost its momentum and was suspended in the air under the manipulation of some mysterious force.

"Ahh

With a shout of rage from the manipulator's eyes, the rain of bullets twisted into a ball of matte white metal in an irregular shape and fell to the ground.

Due to the problem of access and price, the bullets of the underground forces are purchased from private workshops, so the material of most bullets is steel rather than copper.

"I didn't expect to meet my compatriots on the last trip, it's really a happy thing!"

Two people, one tall and one short, came out of hiding, each with a muzzle in their hands and a miniature charge with the smoke of gunpowder.

The man who spoke was tall, of unknown appearance, with staggered scars that ran all over his cheeks, and his lips moved, twisted scars like centipedes crawling on his skin.

He walks slowly because his right foot is so lame that it takes more effort to keep his balance.

"yes, or let's give up this mission, mutants are too miserable to kill each other anymore. ”

The short man has a round body and cheeks up, and looks kind and kind, especially when he laughs, and his curved eyebrows make the slightly smaller eyes hide more and more, like the pot-bellied Buddha statues sold in Chinatown.

Hearing his words, Jimmy, who had just learned his mutant identity not long ago, sighed and slightly let go of his inner worries, until he heard a reminder from Sam: "Jimmy be careful, that guy is 'Viper' Quetta!"

As a veteran gangster who joined the gang at the age of 12, Sam only earned the nickname "Mouse", but his understanding of the New York underground was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

After all, the people who are begging for a living in the underground forces are "renewed" quite quickly, and it is common to catch up with each other's years of fire and harmony, and it is common to have a rotation cycle of three days.

So don't look at Sam who is only 28 or 9 now, and in terms of seniority, he is also the only one among the middle and lower class gang members.

Quetta was known for his dirty hands and black heart when he debuted, and his ability to care for his fellow citizens was even more bizarre than Kim and striptease dancing at the Empire State Building.

Because he was so nervous, Sam didn't even notice that he didn't open his mouth when he reminded his companion, and the voice sounded directly from the other person's head.

Jimmy's nerves tensed up at his companion's reminder, and the metal ball at his feet flew up in the direction that made his heart palpitate.

With two muffled sounds, the two phalanges shot into his heart were blocked by an extended metal shield, and Jimmy, who had survived, attacked Quetta and the other mutant in anger and fear, not thanking his companion for the reminder.

The miniature submachine gun made of metal turned into a slurry-like metal substance, which began to spread from the hands of the two men, wrapping around their necks.

The tall mutant snorted disdainfully, threw aside the metal sludge in his hand into a thick popsicle, and said to Quetta, "He'll give it to you, no problem, right?"

Quetta didn't answer, for he had been tightened around the ring-shaped condensed wire ribbon.

It didn't take long for the short mutant, who had been given high hopes by his companions, to the ground with a bulging chest, a bruised face, and bulging eyes, looking like he was suffocating to death.

“......”

The mutant with the ability to freeze snorted a few words of hometown slang, looked at Jimmy and the two with a wary expression, and turned into a crystal clear humanoid ice sculpture.

The flying metal spikes flew a lot of ice chips, but that's all, Jimmy lacked a systematic understanding of his abilities, and he didn't have much practice, so he couldn't help but be helpless in the face of the sturdy ice sculpture.

Just as he was about to beckon Sam and him to leave from the other side, other changes took place in the field.

The cold spread from the position of the ice sculpture to all sides, and in a matter of moments, the ground and walls were condensed with hoarfrost.

The two of them in summer clothes were shivering from the cold, not to mention helping Sam away, and if he didn't rub his shoulders and run away, Jimmy doubted that he would be able to escape before he went into shock.

"Boom-"

The metal ring that tightly strangled Quetta's neck was broken, and the fat man who fell to the ground got up tremblingly, and yelled at his companion, who had been turned into an ice sculpture, "You want to fucking freeze me to death!"

As he spoke, he lifted the flesh and skin off his body as if he were undressing, and reappeared in front of several people in the form of bloody bones.

Jimmy took two steps back, looked at the two guys with a wary look that was very different from the aesthetics of normal people, and secretly cursed the shamelessness of the short man in his heart.

Sure enough, there was only the wrong name and no wrong nickname.

That guy called "Viper" is really yin, if he hadn't been able to stand it and get up from the ground, Jimmy, who already regarded him as a dead man, would definitely become another resume of his crisscrossing the underground world because of his negligence.

"I didn't expect that the super criminal 'Bones' and 'Viper' Quetta are actually the same person, so he is 'Iceman' Andrew?"

"The three major mutant thugs under Jin Ji, oh, it should be the two major mutant thugs, how can they find our two small characters?"

Jimmy looked at his companion in surprise, his lips were blue, apparently because his thin clothes and colder environment had caused his endocrine system to self-regulate its function.

But the more he did, the brighter his eyes became, as if they were loaded with blazing lights.

Jimmy was surprised not by the outward appearances, but by the way Sam spoke.

He didn't open his mouth, just looked at the enemy on the other side in silence, and the voice appeared directly from the minds of several people, without going through the signal conversion of the cochlea and auditory nerves.

"It turns out that the Masked Man who plunged the whole of New York into chaos is a visitor from another world. ”

"Because he was the first to find our boss, and that guy took the bounty task of Jin Ji a few days ago, and used it to rip the tiger skin of the 'New York Emperor' in front of the masked man, so he caused him to purge or exterminate the 'Black Hawk Gang'. ”

"Sure enough, a little person is a little person, and if you suffer a little bit of the pond fish, you will never recover. ”

It is not surprising that the bald black man who was slumped on the ground stared intently at the "bones" that had shifted his guard, and the words that appeared in the minds of several people completely betrayed his previous style of speaking, because he was not guessing, but relaying, relaying some kind of "information" that he had observed and sensed from the consciousness of the "bones", and perhaps it could also be called "memory".

Tony Stark's act of getting the rescue army to convey Evan's reputation has been reported to several powerful figures in the military, and they have not stopped it, but only added to the notoriety of the Masked Man and his status as a visitor from another world.

This will not only divert the anger of the people from the government, but also bury a thorn in the boy's heart: you see, the thug you have been trying to fight and disturb the peace of your home is a person from another world, so will "Miss Wei", who is also from another world, also have some kind of unspeakable malice towards you?

The plan is great and the ideas are good.

Unfortunately, their cognition and goals are fundamentally wrong, and the results achieved naturally deviate from their expectations, which has nothing to do with vision and mental acuity, but is simply caused by information asymmetry.

Therefore, after this work, in addition to the identity and notoriety of the mask man "visitors from another world" began to spread, only the "drama master" or Evan received a large amount of "legend value" income.

However, the lottery was only carried out once, because in the second lottery, the boy drew the "memory expansion qualification" with his hand, and the maximum amount of memory with a full value of 100,000 became million, which became more and more distant from his dream of "ten companies".

The item extracted was also strange, a silver-white ribbon of silk texture, and the border was embroidered with a thorn-like pattern in lilac silk thread.

With the precedent of "nature's friendship", Evan didn't treat it as a pure artifact, but left it in his backpack first, waiting for a chance to let Vi or Ember help him see it.

The exposure of the mutant identity makes Jimmy and Sam's chosen escape route a place to distract the crowd and the rescue army, so they don't know the identities of the "masked man" and "visitor from another world", let alone know about Kim's plan.

Looking at his suddenly awakened companion, thinking of his strange communication skills and the special performance of the "bones" that diverted the target of jealousy, how could Jimmy not know where the source of the news Sam was talking about.

Fear and fear flashed across his face, but in the end, it was the friendship between the two that took over, and he manipulated the metal shield to levitate beside them, sideways in front of Sam, who was slumped on the ground.

At this time, Sam didn't seem to feel the cold and biting cold around him at all, and continued to talk eloquently at the level of consciousness.

"Everyone else is dead, and we're the only two left, but do you really think you're going to eat us?"

"Quetta, this is the second time we've met, and of course, I don't think you remember a little person in the crowd on the side of the road at that time. ”

"I'm so impressed with you that if you kill a strong white man who is taller than an ordinary person, you must first show weakness to the enemy, and then beg for mercy on your knees with tears in your eyes, and pierce his throat with the finger bones that shoot out while he is rampant. ”

"I'm not mocking you, on the contrary, I admire your prudence and shamelessness very much. ”

"When I first started gangfighting, I was only 12 years old, and I was also the age of enthusiasm, and I wanted to rush into the White House in the next second to shoot the president in the head and let the whole American people remember me. ”

"However, the day after I joined the gang, the boss who led a few of us out to fight was shot through the head with a stray bullet, and blood and brains splashed in my face. ”

"Since then, I've understood that any false name is bullshit, that only living is entitled to everything, and that anyone who doesn't want to die for dollar money is a complete idiot. ”

"You're not stupid, Quetta, on the contrary, you're a smart man. ”

"Let us go, and you'll lose a paltry amount of money, and maybe not even at all. ”

"Everyone else is dead, the Black Hawks are a thing of the past, and Kim doesn't have time to worry about the lives and deaths of the two thugs, especially at a time when New York City is in such chaos. ”

"But if you have to force us to fight hard, the result is really hard to say. ”

"Even if you win and kill both of us, you're not going to have to pay more than you can afford to pay with dollars. ”

"There are a lot of mutants in New York City who want to mix with Kim or have become Kim and his men, so why can you two get both fame and benefit?"

"Do you believe that the mutant thugs under you are good for a few pieces of paper, or do you think that Kim will miss a worthless subordinate because of his hard work?"

Looking at the bald black man with bright eyes, the "skeleton" took two steps back, indicating his attitude of retreating.

In this form, he was unable to speak, so he had to answer in this way.

Sam, who was peeking at Quetta's superficial consciousness, sensed the other party's thoughts, and his gaze did not shift, still vigilantly staring at the guy who was still called "Viper".

"Jimmy, let's go, walk backwards, fast!"

Sam's voice rang only in Jimmy's head, and the Hispanic youth's face remained unchanged, and the crumbling metal ring flew up from the ground, turning into an extremely thin metal wide sheet and sliding under Sam's body.

Jimmy shivered and stood on top of the metal plate, his irregularly shaped shield in front of him.

The ability was activated, and the metal piece that was so thin that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye was slightly suspended in the air, and the two people with a wary look flew away upside down.

"Skeleton" quietly watched the target flee, without doing any work to stop them, until the figures of the two disappeared completely, he silently picked up the skin on the ground and burrowed into it in an extremely strange way.

"Why don't you stop them?"

The ice sculpture turned back into a hideous Scarface, and he looked at the fat man who was standing aside to correct his flesh and skin, and asked in a cold voice.

"Didn't you stop it!"

After replying, Quetta looked at Andrew with a smile, and the killing machine flashed in his narrow eyes: "I can't fight hard, you can clean up the mess." ”

Kim and his subordinates never rely on the so-called brotherhood and only a blueprint with a bright future, and some are only interests, interests that can make people lose their minds and even want their lives.

As long as you are valuable, he will never be stingy to satisfy all your desires and needs, but when you are worthless, don't expect him to spare your life with his old feelings.

In such an environment, everyone is vying to climb up, because the higher the position, the more you can get.

Even between Quetta and Andrew, there is more vigilance and calculation than years of friendship, after all, it is far less practical for two people to share money than for one person to swallow alone, just like when they challenged the position of the bullseye together and Quetta withdrew halfway, Andrew also wished that the poisonous snake would fight the two mutants, leaving him alone to finally stand up and solve everything.

"Look at what you said, we're brothers!"

Andrew's tone is very natural, and anyone who hears it will think that the two are incompatible.

"Yes, we are good brothers. ”

Quetta smiled and lifted the question, just as the other party did back then.

As the two thugs that Kim and extremely rely on, Quetta and Andrew have a lot of money, but compared to the bullseye who is far above them, it is a little inadequate.

Everyone wants more, especially if they are trading their lives for these benefits.

It's also a famous character in the underworld, why do you have more bullseyes than the two of us combined?

Unwillingly, the two agreed to join forces to challenge the bullseye, at that time Andrew was still a handsome young man, and his understanding of the shady society was not deep enough.

So, he took the lead in attacking the bull's-eye, believing that his companions, who were also hiding in the shadows, would seize the opportunity he created to attack him.

However, until the right ankle was shattered by the iron ring, and the cross scar was carved into the smiling bull's eye on his face, the sworn companion still did not appear.

Yes, how could he appear, even if he killed the bullseye and raised the bounty, as a duo, the dollars they get are still divided between two people, how can it compare to the distribution method of having a lower bounty but being able to swallow it alone?

Andrew, who figured it out, managed to survive, and when he returned after regaining his strength and faced Quetta again, the young man who had grown up a lot did not roar like a loser, but naturally accepted the other party's words of "how could I hurt you, we are brothers", just like Quetta is doing now.

"We haven't seen these two men, what do you say, Andrew?"

"yes, I haven't seen it. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, but only they knew what they were going to do in their hearts.

......

"It's an escape, come, I'll help you go, let's leave New York now!"

Jimmy, who was gradually recovering from his body temperature, was trying to pull Sam up, who had collapsed on the metal sheet, by the weakness caused by the overuse of his powers.

"I probably won't be able to, brother!"

Sam's voice sounded in Jimmy's head, and even if it was a heart-to-heart exchange, he could hear the weakness and powerlessness that his companion revealed in his bones.

The Hispanic young man had a slightly sour nose, how could he not see that the other party was on the verge of dying, but he had no choice, and he did not even dare to go to the hospital to seek treatment.

At this time, the military's vigilance against mutants is at an absolute peak, and there are still forces in the dark that have bad intentions, if they really show up in front of people, it is already God's mercy to the two of them to be buried in the cemetery.

"Don't use your powers, Sam, speak!"

Gently patting the bald black man on the cheek, Jimmy, who had no choice but to keep his companion awake.

"Without my ability, I can't even speak now. ”

Pulling a far-fetched smile at the corner of his mouth, Sam admonished: "My leg has frozen to dead flesh, leave me alone, Jimmy, you run by yourself, not out of New York, but out of America." ”

"Jin is not a guy who will keep the end, I don't know the identity of our mutants, once we know, what awaits us must be a double pursuit on the surface and in the dark, leave the United States, go to China, I heard that it is very good for mutants there, and you will ...... when the time comes"

"No, we won't go to Huaxia, we'll go to the Middle East, this account will be settled with Jin sooner or later, and when the time comes, I'll cut off the two legs of that ugly monster who froze your legs and replace them for you!"

Jimmy growled under his breath, his bloodshot eyes making his look even more vicious.

The more life and death, the more a person's true nature can be exposed, and Wilson, who is sitting in the Correbo Building, does not know that at this time, a former insurance salesman is ruthlessly trying to take his life.

"Whatever you want, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive that time......"

"Don't be stupid, Sam, you're a 'master of mind'!"

"Is this the nickname you gave me?"

"Yes, haven't you always envied cultural people and have a very low self-esteem about your status as a gangster, and now you are a master yourself. ”

"Fuck the 'master'!"

Sam spoke with all his might, his weak body no longer able to support him to continue using his abilities: "Have you ever seen a 'master' who can't even recognize twenty-eight English letters?"

"Hahaha-"

Tears trickled down his cheeks, but Jimmy burst out laughing.

As the tears fell faster and faster, he looked at his companion who was laughing but must not understand where the laughter was, and said with relief: "It's okay, I don't recognize it all." ”

"Let's go, go to the Middle East, I'll carry you, until I cut off that brute-bred guy's leg and get it for you!"

"Come on, I don't want that cripple's leg, you might as well make me a wheelchair with this kung fu, let you carry me, I'm afraid you'll sneak my ass while I'm asleep!"

"You're a damn, and it's beautiful to think about it!"

With a smile and a curse, Jimmy carried Sam, who didn't even have the strength to speak, with red eyes.

The weight of the black man's body weighed him down, but he gritted his teeth and held on, and fled step by step towards the outside of New York City with his companion on his back.

"Don't sleep, Sam, Spirit Point, the 'Mind Master' who slept to death will be the laughing stock of all mutants. ”

"I've said it all...... Master of bullshit. ”

In order to save his strength, Sam's words were not only quiet, but also omitted a lot of laborious words, and if he hadn't been speaking in Jimmy's ear, I am afraid that the bearer would not have been able to hear his slurred words.

"Why aren't you a master," Jimmy hollowed out his mind to attract the attention of his companions: "Aren't you able to check other people's memories, when the time comes, find a few academic doctors, read and copy their memories together, don't say masters, you can be a professor if you want!"

"Professor...... It's better than the master," muttered the black man lying on Jimmy's back, "I won't probe your memories, Jimmy, not in this life, you don't have to be afraid of me." ”

"I'm afraid of you?"

Jimmy laughed and scolded, "I'm afraid that you dead faggot will deliberately slide down and use your lower body to push my ass!"

Speaking of the commotion, Sam was somewhat refreshed, he looked at his companion who was walking and staggering, and was a little puzzled: "Why do you have to go to the Middle East!"

Jimmy didn't answer, the two had different opinions, which was caused by personality differences, and he didn't want to argue with his good friend, especially at a time when the other party was extremely weak.

"When we get to the Middle East, let's also build an organization, you be the boss, if you feel that anyone has two hearts, tell me, and I'll clean him up!"

"Forget it, it's better for you to be the boss, I can't do it. ”

Sam also didn't want to argue about the destination, so he diverted the topic along Jimmy's note.

"Everything!"

"you, have you ever seen an organization with two bosses?"

"Our organization is it," carefully dodging the search and rescue team in front of him, Jimmy explained, "I've thought about it, and in the future, our organization will be called the Brotherhood!"
