Chapter 241: A Bold Idea
Skye and Jiaying walked back side by side from outside the grove, and looking at their expressions, it seemed that the outcome of this communication was good.
Before Gordon could ask, Jia Ying spoke first, "You take this Mr. Rorschach to find a place to stay, he is also our guest." ”
"However, he is not one of ours and should not be here." Gordon protested.
"But we don't have the power to get rid of him, do we?" Jiaying saw it very accurately, and was quite aware of the difference in strength between the two.
Rorschach was not humble at all, he was also interested in the Inhumans' talent transformation ritual, and he was also curious about what kind of talent Skye would acquire. As for Skye, she also wanted Rorschach to be by her side, after all, this place was too foreign to her.
It may be because the leader Jiaying is a Chinese, so the settlement of the Inhumans has a lot of Chinese architectural styles. The guest room where Rorschach lives is a typical style of carved beams and paintings, and even the door buckle is in the shape of a brass lion, which makes him feel very comfortable.
It's just that after staying in the guest room, for a few days, except for someone who regularly brings him food and drink, no one comes to receive him. Skye had been here a few times, and Rorschach looked at her as if she had fully accepted her mother.
Listening to what Skye said, Jiaying is very protective of the daughter she just met, and she really looks like she wants to make up for her mistakes, and Skye also enjoys this hard-won family affection very much. After all, compared to the father who went crazy at every turn, Jiaying fulfilled all Skye's fantasies about mother's love.
Looking at the smile on Skye's face, Rorschach was a little worried. Because he is very sure that Jiaying's character is not so gentle and kind as it appears. This woman's heart has a fury that is not inferior to Karl.
It's just that Rorschach didn't expect that when he hesitated to remind Skye, Jiaying came to the door first.
That night, Jia Ying took Gordon directly to Rorschach, and said, "Mr. Rorschach, I have some things I would like to discuss with you seriously. ”
Rorschach asked, "Isn't it going to throw me a check with no numbers and let me leave Skye?" ”
"No kidding, if I hadn't been able to find out your identity for so long, we Inhumans would have been wiped out long ago. Even if I can come up with a few hundred million dollars, does it mean anything to you? Jiaying said very frankly.
"Listen to you, you're not here to break up me and Skye?" Rorschach was pleased.
"Skye is already an adult, and I have been away from her for so many years, and I can't force her feelings as soon as she appears. And, while Carl doesn't have a good opinion of you, I can tell that you're really good about Skye. As for the so-called flower heart, to be honest, I have lived under the social system of polygamy for most of my life. Jiaying said.
Rorschach also remembered that Jiaying had lived for an unknown number of years, and in ancient China, it was indeed not uncommon for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
It's just that such a reasonable mother-in-law makes Rorschach a little vigilant. Jiaying is not a simple woman, and she will not talk to herself in the middle of the night about this kind of thing.
"So, what did you come to me to say?" Rorschach asked.
"Mr. Rorschach, you are also a person with extraordinary abilities, I wonder what you think of the world now?" Jiaying asked a very illusory question, but her eyes were staring at Rorschach, and her expression was very serious.
"It's not a great world, but most people can make do with it." Rorschach said.
"This majority doesn't include Inhumans, and it doesn't include you mutants." Jiaying said categorically.
As soon as Rorschach heard this, he understood that Jia Ying had misunderstood something. Although he also has extraordinary powers, he is really not the same race as mutants. However, she was not the first person to misunderstand, and Rorschach did not bother to correct it.
Seeing the subtle change in Rorschach's expression, Jia Ying thought that his words had touched him, so he continued: "The introduction of the mutant bill has caused humans with special abilities to be persecuted very seriously. They don't bother to distinguish between mutants and Inhumans, and in fact they don't bother to do so. The environment in which we live is getting worse and worse, so we need to hide. Rorschach, aren't you going to change that? ”
"Listen to you, it seems that there is already a plan?" Rorschach asked.
"I can't talk about the plan, but I think Inhumans and mutants can work together, and we need to tell the people of this world that the transcendent are the next stage of human evolution, not a race that allows them to discriminate and bully." Jia Ying said to Rorschach.
"This, correct one thing. The anti-mutant bill, as if it only existed in a few states in the United States, was not even passed nationwide. Isn't it a little too small for the whole world? Rorschach asked.
The anti-mutant bill is politically incorrect in the United States, so it has not been passed in all states, and only a few states with extreme racism have been followed as law.
And that's just the United States, no other country has introduced such a draconian racial discrimination law.
"With just one tear hole, those politicians can expand this bill indefinitely for the sake of votes. Haven't you dealt with that Sentinel Secret Service? They don't care what state you're a mutant in. Jiaying seemed a little surprised by Rorschach's naivety, and explained very carefully.
"Then I can introduce you to a good place, your hometown, my motherland. I have a bit of a relationship with the government over there, and if you are willing to emigrate, I am sure that they will settle you properly and make sure that you will not receive any unfair treatment. Rorschach suggested.
"We will not trust any government, and their promises will not be more reliable than the words written on the beach." Jiaying refused.
"So, what did you come to me for?" Rorschach asked the most crucial question.
"Rorschach, you have extraordinary powers, you have ample funds, and you have very large connections, so I want you to do something for the Inhumans and your fellow mutants to solve for us once and for all the problems that threaten the survival of the Transcendents."
Jiaying paused, then uttered a bold idea: "I hope you can help me with all my might to build a nation that belongs to Inhumans and mutants." Let our people no longer have to be persecuted by others, and they will no longer experience the same misery as I did. If you will, with your abilities, you and Skye's children will be the most logical heirs to this country. ”
