Chapter 240: Inhumans
In the middle of the grove, Skye hesitantly asked Jiaying, "You say you are my mother?" Is it? ”
Skye's eyes were filled with doubt and resistance, but also with hope that had been brewing for years. Skye has never lived in any place for more than two years since she was born, and every time she feels like she's found her home, something bad happens.
Friends I met in the orphanage would soon disappear, and after being adopted by others, they would always be sent back to the orphanage due to many accidents.
This kind of day has made her develop a super ability, which is to reject people thousands of miles away, which is even much higher than her hacker level.
Therefore, Rorschach saved her life three or four times, and this girl who has been lonely and helpless since she was a child will involuntarily feel attached to Rorschach. Maybe it's a little morbid compared to love at first sight, but it's the happiest thing for Skye in memory.
For this sudden appearance of parents, Skye's illusions about his life experience were shattered. After all, she never thought that her father would be a murderer who could turn into a bloodthirsty monster at any moment.
Faced with this woman who claimed to be his mother, Skye's first reaction was also resistance, and there was an urge to question the other party. I want to ask what really happened back then, how can she tolerate so many years of separation and indifference?
"You were born on the 2nd of July, it was a hot night, and before you were born, I asked your father to clean up the house. Later, he ran to a neighbor's house to pick up the car and wanted to take me to the hospital, but he didn't speak Chinese, so it was a mess. Jia Ying said softly to Skye.
"But you don't look much older than I am." Skye said curiously.
Jia Ying's appearance is indeed very young, although there are these criss-crossing scars on her face, it can also be seen that she is a beauty full of oriental classical charm, and she looks seven or eight years older than Skye at most.
Even if you have a good face, it is impossible not to see the slightest trace of time.
"We're all Inhumans, and we all have different gifts. Like Gordon, he has the ability to teleport, and I have the ability to live forever. Jia Ying explained.
Skye was not too surprised to see all sorts of variants, but asked curiously, "Inhumans?" How is it different from mutants? ”
"The biggest difference is that the mutants' abilities come from the X gene, and they can activate their talents on their own. We, the Inhumans, have to go through a special ritual before our talents can be revealed. Jiaying briefly introduced.
Skye was silent for a moment and asked, "When I was in the orphanage, all the little ones wanted their parents to find them. You guys...... Have you looked for me? ”
"We've been looking for you for years. After that incident, we traveled almost all over the world to find you. However, we had no clue at all. And your father, because he blamed himself too much, began to have mental problems. He couldn't accept that he had lost you, and I had to come to this place. I thought, I lost my daughter, maybe I could help someone else here. ”
Jiaying said as she shed tears, this feeling of mother-daughter connection made Skye truly feel the meaning of family affection.
"I've been looking forward to this day, but I'm afraid I'll end up disappointed." Skye cried and threw herself into Jiaying's arms, and the mother and daughter finally hugged each other vigorously.
On the other side, Rorschach also briefly learned about the situation of the Inhumans from Gordon's mouth.
The place where Gordon and the two of them teleported to was not just a wilderness, but a secret settlement of the Inhumans. It's isolated from the rest of the world, and the only way to get in and out is through Gordon's teleportation ability.
The Inhumans, because of their scarcity, have always been passed down in this secret way. Every clansman with the same bloodline will come to this place for a test, and those who meet the qualifications can perform the talent awakening ceremony.
And Jiaying is the leader of the Inhuman race, the one who presides over the awakening ceremony.
"Sounds like Skye is a little Inhuman princess." Rorschach said a little smugly.
"It has nothing to do with you." Gordon said unconvinced.
"It doesn't matter if it's up to you. By the way, would you like to teleport to me again? I promise not to mess with it this time. Rorschach didn't care about the stiffness.
Gordon sneered and said, "Do you think my ability can really be mastered after only a few looks? Our Inhuman gifts are a gift from the heavens, and each one is unique. What do you think you are, a supercomputer or a god? ”
"In a sense, I'm closer to the former, but not too far from the latter. Although I don't really like this statement, that's it. Rorschach replied honestly, too.
"You're really the most arrogant person I've ever met. If you're a god, do you still need me to demonstrate your abilities? Gods are everywhere, how can you even ...... something as simple as spatial teleportation"
Before Gordon could finish his sarcastic words, he "watched" Rorschach reach out and reach into the air. There was a portal the size of a fist, allowing Rorschach's arm to reach in.
Then, a smell of food came, and Rorschach already had a freshly made hamburger in his hand.
"Excuse me, what did you just say? I was a little hungry and didn't pay attention. Rorschach said, taking a bite of a hamburger.
After thinking about it, as if there was still something missing, Rorschach reached in again, and then grabbed a glass of Coke.
Gordon is a man without eyes, but because of this, his sense of hearing is more acute than that of ordinary people, and his spatial teleportation ability is also very sensitive to the distortion and folding of space. Therefore, Rorschach's actions just now were all "seen" clearly by him.
I was still mocking the other party just now, but I didn't expect such a direct slap in the face in the next second.
Rorschach didn't care too much, he didn't mean to make Gordon ugly, he just suddenly wanted to see if he could eat with his body. Tests have proven that there is nothing wrong with the sense of taste, but what is eaten is difficult to digest and can only be compressed into small pieces and quietly thrown out of the body.
After all, it is a liquid metal, and no matter how much it simulates the shape of human organs, it is impossible to really secrete digestive juices to absorb nutrients.
Gordon couldn't help but feel angry, Rorschach obviously had similar abilities himself, and he even played tricks on himself like a monkey. Gordon's first feeling about Rorschach was already quite bad, but now it has dropped to a bad level.
But before he could say anything more, Skye and Jiaying walked back side by side from beyond the grove.
