Chapter 189: The Boy Who Teleported
In an upscale apartment in New York, with the slight tearing sound of the air, a handsome teenager in fashionable clothes appeared in the locked room out of thin air.
Although it was still seventy-five years at this time, there were already many fashionable and expensive appliances in this boy's apartment.
And that's not even the most expensive thing in this upscale apartment - it's not hard for anyone with a discerning eye to recognize that almost every single one of the many large and small paintings adorning the walls of the apartment is actually the real thing! Although there are no particularly famous world-class paintings, there are many famous paintings worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Other than that.
The rooms are furnished with the finest antiques...... Velvet purple floor-to-ceiling curtains...... A Persian carpet under his feet that was casually trampled on by a teenager...... and the high-end suits and leather shoes he littered everywhere...... The combined value of these things is definitely a huge number, and even ordinary local tyrants can hardly afford to consume it.
However, all this is an ordinary thing that is easily available in the eyes of Werther today...... Ever since he awakened his abilities.
Yes.
Now only eighteen years old and just graduating from high school, Werther is a mutant who has awakened his abilities for less than a year.
In the seventies, the term mutant was not as obvious to the people as it was in later generations, and even Professor X, Magneto, and others, who played a big role in the Cuban Missile Crisis and prevented World War III and nuclear war, were not aware of their contributions at this time.
Even if it knew something, the U.S. government, which had secretly formed a mutant organization, actually had a rather bad attitude towards Professor X and the other mutants - the idea of most high-ranking officials was to get rid of them.
After all, these mutants who have mastered the power of alien powers have greatly broken the original rules of the world. In particular, Professor X's ability to read and control the mind has made those politicians who hold power and dirty hands tremble, for fear that the "private goods" in their minds will be poured out by the other party.
Kennedy was dead.
Ostensibly Magneto, an anti-human creature.
In fact, it was because Kennedy's own identity as a "mutant" was exposed, which attracted the sniping of traditional forces. According to the trajectory of future fate that many people do not know at this time...... The frequent deaths of future Kennedy family members are apparently due to the cleansing of 'mutant politicians' by certain forces.
However.
Professor X failed to see through this, and went all out to support the Kennedy family to power, thus giving mutants a strong political ally in American politics.
Magneto saw it.
However, due to character flaws, his style of doing things is precisely used by those who hide in the shadows.
But.
To be honest, Professor X's idea is a bit too idealistic - not to mention the prejudice of the human government itself, even in fact, more and more mutants in the civil society in recent years have indeed engaged in illegal and criminal activities most of the time!
After all, most ordinary people are not sages.
If you look at the online novels in Shao Cheng's world, you can almost know - how many protagonists have no lives on their hands? Although most of the protagonists say something like "I won't offend anyone if they don't offend me", they actually follow a strategy of "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots".
Truly benevolent people are non-existent. And they don't live long at all.
in the Marvel Universe. People see superheroes who shine brightly...... However, when you think about it, it seems that every superhero has to face a whole bunch of supercriminals!
Spider-Man's enemies are as simple as Green Goblin, Green Goblin II, Doctor Lizard, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Venom, Carnage, ......
Batman's enemies are the Joker, the Female Joker, the Two-Faced Man, the Penguin Man, ......
Other superheroes also have to face various enemies, earthly, extraterrestrial, divine realm, hell, parallel universes, and future worlds...... In short, there are bad guys everywhere. Superheroes are fighting down this. That one popped up again!
So it seems. In fact, even with superpowers, there will always be far fewer people who are willing to become superheroes than people who want to use their abilities to act recklessly and even trample on their lives!
Of course......
In the X-Men world. Most of the awakened mutants are not very capable, and they don't even have much combat power, and most of them have shortcomings, so they didn't cause a scene of bombing buildings everywhere like some Marvel Universes.
However.
Even so, there are not a few mutants like Werther, who has awakened the ability to 'teleport', and uses their abilities to obtain illegal benefits.
The very existence of these people arouses the hatred of ordinary people who are victimized, and it is not realistic for Professor X to promote a truly equal and transparent future for both parties.
Magneto's idea is somewhat solid.
It's a pity that the ordinary people in this world are not easy to deal with, not only has there been supernatural forces in this universe itself since ancient times, but also the various black technologies mastered by the modern government are enough to fight mutants.
In this reversal of the future, aren't the mutants of the future destroyed by the "sentinel" robots that seem to be very backward today?
Even if Wolverine, who returned to the present a while ago, solved that terrifying future with Professor X, Magneto, Demon, Beast, and Quicksilver.
But for now, it seems that the entanglement between mutants and humans still has a long way to go!
However.
Except for a few people like Professor X and Magneto, there are still more ordinary people like Witt who have awakened their abilities but are only used for profit.
That's not a bad thing...... After all, you can't all be reformers and heroes, right?
Werther teleported to the refrigerator and opened the refrigerator door to take out a bottle of beer.
Untied the cap, Witt poured a large sip of cold beer, let out a comfortable moan, and at the same time teleported to the TV again, turned on the TV, and then fell backwards, but moved directly a few meters and lay on the sofa.
The convenience of the ability is unmistakable.
"Is that the only way 'teleportation' can be used?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Werther, who was startled, jumped up from the sofa at once!
"What?!" He followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw a young man coming out of the second floor of his duplex apartment, that is, his bedroom.
This could not help but surprise Witt - anyone who found out that someone was suddenly hiding in his house would be terrified.
Especially when Werther himself knew very well that the door of his apartment was always locked from the inside, this man suddenly appeared and revealed his ability in one word...... Obviously, he came prepared, and the purpose was directed at himself!
"Who the hell are you? How do you know this?! Witte moved back a few meters again with a thud, looking alertly at the strange man standing at the open staircase on the second floor. (To be continued......)
