Although subjectively unacceptable, it is an irrefutable fact that John Reese's statement is able to connect perfectly and explain all the irrationality.

It was a difficult job for Xu Le to deal with this complex information, which made him stunned for a while, and during this period of being in a daze, Xu Le had a flash of inspiration and figured out one thing.

If a "machine" really exists, what can it be used for?

The most important use that Xu Le could think of was, of course, to find out the hidden mutants!

Now that the mutants have learned how to hide themselves and integrate into normal human society, the domestic intelligence department can be optimistic about the country, but it is beyond the reach of foreign mutants.

What makes the CCP's top brass even more troublesome is that even if governments have the foresight to realize that countries around the world should work together to eradicate mutants, they may not be able to detect mutants with hidden identities, because the hidden identities of some variants are their real identities.

This is the great thing about Bai founding the temple and separating people in the form of religion, there will always be people who will put their spirit on religion when they are desperate or lose their minds. If a citizen living in the U.S. Federation voluntarily transforms into a mutant after being bewitched, and continues to remain a human under the orders of the Temple, disguised as a normal person, then it will be even more difficult for the intelligence agencies to find out his true identity if he does not actively attack humans and does not show any anomalies.

The difficulty lies not in the collection of evidence, but in the identification of targets. If the U.S. federal government's intelligence agencies confirm that a "citizen" has been transformed and disguised as a mutant of a normal human, then some clues will always be caught after investing some resources in 24-hour uninterrupted tracking and surveillance. But the conundrum is, how do intelligence agencies know their targets? Since mutants can disguise themselves as humans, anyone can be a target, and no intelligence agency in the world can handle such a huge amount of work.

The only way Xu Le can think of is to set up screening points in every city and township, conduct a national census from time to time, and let everyone line up with their ID cards and eat a certain amount of food in front of the inspector one by one to prove that they are still pure human beings.

However, this method also has major flaws, first of all, the problem of cost consumption, the huge workload means a large waste of human and financial resources, and secondly, the black household population, every country has a large number of black households, even if the government departments can be divided down to the neighborhood committees and neighborhood offices in China, it is quite difficult to do a comprehensive census, not to mention the United States, a developed country where illegal immigrants and illegal guns are rampant? In the end, no one can be sure how far the current mutants have evolved, and who knows if they have evolved new abilities capable of forcibly swallowing human food without causing an abnormal reaction?

As a result, it is difficult to solve the mutations hidden in Europe and the United States.

However, if there is such an intelligence artifact as the "machine", the situation will change dramatically.

Since the "machine" can monitor and listen to the entire territory and process massive amounts of information to analyze and search for terrorists and homicide victims, can it be used to search for and locate mutants?

The answer should be yes, even the terrorists who are lurking and plotting can't escape the eye of the "machine", let alone the mutants? After all, not every mutant can have the same terrifying intelligence as Shiro, and most of the mutants don't actually have a high IQ. Moreover, mutants always need to replenish their energy to eat human flesh, and even if they hide well, they will inevitably leave traces, and when they are not aware of it, cameras and mobile communication devices everywhere will faithfully record and collect these traces.

Xu Le couldn't help but think that if this legendary figure who created the "machine" was allowed to go one step further on the original basis and create a large-scale monitoring system that could identify mutants, then the mutants hiding in the developed countries of the West would have nothing to hide!

At that time, the mutants can only hide in some underdeveloped countries and even some islands and deserts far away from the network, and the inability to infiltrate developed countries means that they cannot truly integrate into human society, and it also means that their food will be more scarce, and their living space will gradually be closed and narrowed, and they will lose any possibility of turning over. Then, sooner or later, humanity will be able to wipe out all mutants!

What an exciting discovery!

Xu Le couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he grabbed John Reeser by the collar and shouted, "I understand! You are righteous partners! Let me join you! ”

For Xu Le, the extermination of mutants is justice, and the handsome uncle in front of him and the legendary figure hidden behind the scenes in his mouth may have the key weapons to exterminate mutants, and they are of course partners in justice.

Xu Le is not good at words, and he knows that he is not good at persuading others, but words do not matter in the face of interests, Xu Le believes that the other party will not turn away a senior superpower.

However, John Reeser snorted through his nose, shook his head, and said, "Although I don't know your true identity, Mr. Lewis, I know that you are not a real murderer. While you still have the chance, you should leave the country immediately. ”

After speaking, John Reeser took out a thick envelope from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to Xu Le.

"Here's the passport, driver's license, cash and Social Security number you need, throw away all your weapons, rent a car, get on the road, leave New York State, go to other states for an international flight, go to Europe, go to South America, go to North Africa, you can always find a place to live. If you stay here, you will not only be yourself, but you will also kill many more innocent people. ”

Xu Le tilted his head, and after thinking for a moment, he reached out to take the envelope, thanked him, and then turned around and left, without continuing to entangle, nor dragging mud and water.

John Reeser watched Xu Le's back go away, shrugged his shoulders, turned in the other direction and opened his legs.

Three minutes later, Xu Le returned to the same place, and quickly chased after the route where John left, and after closing the distance, Xu Le turned on his ability, and whenever John used the anti-tracking strategy, Xu Le would use his ability to detect John's movements first, and then hide himself in the blind spot of his vision.

Half a mile away, a short, slender sniper took off his cap, spread his long, silky brown-black hair to his shoulders, and pressed his headset to order: "One group withdraws, two groups take over, three groups are on standby, and it is forbidden to go within 100 yards of the target." ”

Two kilometers away, a tall, blue-eyed blond man undressed his disguise, revealing a pair of large, misshapen ears, closed his eyes and listened, then whispered an address to a fellow man with a swollen neck beside him, who puffed out his throat and let out a cry that only the people of the Templars could hear.

In the southern end of Manhattan, in the middle of New York's Chinatown, in a spacious house, a group of young men dressed in black walked out, and there was an awe-inspiring aura of murder in their every move.

Under the dim street lamp, John Reeser looked at an abandoned old library in front of him, sighed, walked into the dusty dark hallway, and reached out and touched his right ear.

"Hey, Finch, I think the fish are hooked."
