On the top floor of the Empire State Building, the tall (body shēn) figure stood at the window looking down on the city of New York, the city at night was a little less noisy during the day, but a little more unexpectedly quiet, he stretched out his broad palm and held it tightly, as if he wanted to hold the whole city in the palm of his hand, and it was the same.

Knock Knock Knock –

A sharp knock rang out from the office door, but it didn't push the door in. The figure put down his clenched fists, picked up the cane that was leaning on the side again, stepped to the desk and sat down, cold and calm as ice, and said in a low voice to the door, "Come in!" ”

The door opened, and a grim man in a suit appeared in the office and reported to the figure on the desk, "The robber who robbed our bank not long ago has been apprehended by the police, and all the looted items have been returned to their original places." ”

Smack-

Picking up a costly cigar scissor and cutting off the tail of the cigar, the thick snow-white smoke began to fill the entire office, and the faces of the figures loomed under the smoke, "Send someone to the prison to deal with those unruly guys, no one can make trouble on my turf (情qíng)." ”

"Understood, Kimand." The man in the suit nodded unchanged and then turned (shēn) and left the office on the top floor of the Empire State Building.

……

"Destroy the mutants, the mutants shouldn't be under the same sky as us!" On the TV screen, the marching crowd shouted slogans against mutants and gathered at the gate of the city hall, three days after the "anti-mutant" (heat) wave, but this (heat) wave has not faded as quickly as in the past, but has become more and more intense.

Zhou Ran sat on the sofa, looking at the banners and slogans that kept flashing in the camera, and a beautiful blonde reporter appeared in front of the camera, holding a microphone to introduce the situation of this anti-mutant march, "At the entrance of the city hall in New York City, because of the excited procession, the lawmakers had to issue a statement to appease the citizens. ”

"Now, many New Yorkers say that the march has affected their lives, and the mayor is calling for the second time for the crowd to calm down......

The "anti-mutant" parade has begun to affect the daily life of New Yorkers, and in fact, every morning when he wakes up, Zhou Ran will find that on the main artery of the city road, a group of well-fed guys with nothing to do are paraded on the road with banners, which brings great change to the traffic of travel, forcing him to spend time every day and change another route to detour to the bank.

Even the good-natured Lady Teresa began to complain about the bad effects of the march.

However, according to Zhou Ran's understanding of the origin of all this (情qíng), it only stemmed from a small quarrel at a public high school in New York City three days ago, a mutant boy accidentally awakened his superpowers and injured an ordinary student who was arguing with him, and the unlucky guy had to break his arm and had to be immobilized with a cast for a month.

This incident, which was originally an ordinary school quarrel, became sensitive because of the mutant (body shēn) of the protagonist of the incident, and the parents of the school were worried that their children would be hurt in the school, and the people with hearts began to issue through this incident (情qíng), "Mutants leave the school, don't hurt us." ".

The problem of mutants has always been a big problem that has plagued the entire country or the world, but all the government can do about it is to delay indefinitely and calm down the incident through various covert means.

This is a dangerous and powerful group, and when Zhou Ran first learned about the existence of mutants through the Internet, he made such a definition in his heart. Unlike superheroes or supercriminals, mutants are much larger in size, as they are detached from humans and yet above them.

However, it is impossible for the government or any country to accept a group of people above the organization, so it is natural that the relationship between mutants and the government will not be too harmonious, and even Zhou Ran speculates that there must be many mutants who are not willing to accept the status quo and try to change all this through powerful capabilities.

In fact, as Zhou Ran guessed, there are also never-ending battles in the mutant world, whether it is the human government or the evil mutants of the same kind.

"Zhou, are you there?" Just as Zhou Ran was looking at the news on TV in a daze, a childish cheer sounded in his ears.

Turning his head, Zhou Ran looked at the figure that appeared behind him with long brown hair and a delicate face, and the little girl who suddenly appeared behind him was his neighbor Mrs. Delisa's daughter, little Catherine, but obviously the little girl's condition at the moment was not too good, and her little face was pale and bloodless.

Zhou Ran looked at the door without any signs, and then looked at the little Catherine in front of him, he could guarantee that he didn't hear the sound of the door opening or closing just now, and he knew that after using the [Martial Arts Mastery (Black Iron)] training of the Death Knell, he already had a good ability to react and be alert.

"Little Catherine, how did you get in?" Frowning, Zhou Ran looked at the little girl puzzled and asked.

In the face of Zhou Ran's inquiry, little Catherine shook her head, but her eyes quietly swept over the TV screen, and she said softly, "I don't know either." ”

"Forget it, maybe I really forgot to close the door." Faced with the little girl's dazed reaction, Zhou Ran immediately shrugged his shoulders and returned to himself (body shēn), looking at the little girl's pale face, he was concerned, "Little Catherine, (body shēn) body is still the same uncomfortable, if not, then go to the hospital with me for examination, right?" ”

However, in the face of Zhou Ran's concern, little Catherine shook her head without hesitation and refused in a low voice, "It's okay, I just need to sleep well on (the bed chuáng)." "The little girl knew that going to the hospital was a very serious thing and would cost her mother a lot of money, and their family was not wealthy.

As we all know, in the United States, buying medical insurance is a very expensive expense, so the general public simply does not have so much spare money to buy medical insurance for themselves, some minor diseases such as headaches and colds are solved by drugs, and only when it is really serious will you go to the hospital for treatment, and going to the hospital represents a huge amount of medical bills waiting for you.

Faced with the stubborn little girl, Zhou Ran easily thought of the plight of Mrs. Delisa's family, a single (body shēn) mother who was struggling to make ends meet, and obviously did not have the ability to pay for the high medical insurance.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for your medical expenses."

"No, I'm fine." In response to Zhou Ran, there was still only little Catherine's stubborn answer, and the little girl unexpectedly insisted.
