151 The Last Supper

Sensitive to Eric's gaze, Jimmy's body subconsciously shrunk, holding the ring tightly in the palm of his hand, Lorna glanced at the mentor apologetically, Eric shook his head and said it didn't matter.

Jimmy's mind is clear to Eric.

Probably scared him that day at first, this kid has always been wary of Eric, even if he sees that Eric's abilities are not obviously affected, he tries to avoid the two of them being alone, and every time he is either with his classmates or with his mentor. Knowing that Jimmy's mind is heavy, Eric has limited time and no longer has much contact with him.

According to what he learned from Jimmy's father Nick and uncle Mariano, the child used to have few friends outside, only an ordinary friend, who was his former classmate, but recently he has become estranged.

Presumably, Jimmy thought that Lona's Augmentation Ring could also enhance his abilities, so he thought of some kind of rhetoric to coax him. It's not surprising that handsome little boys are always easy to get affection in front of older girls, and mutants' abilities are so strange that Eric can't say if he can really do what he wants without research, but what can happen at such a close distance? Eric wasn't worried that Jimmy would cause himself harm.

Let him go.

With this in mind, he ignored the boy and began to talk softly to the young man.

"Boss, will you leave?" Alicent couldn't wait for answers.

Eric replied in the affirmative.

"Come with us!" Before Alison could speak, Mary had already expressed her resolute attitude, and even when her boyfriend Bobby was still looking at her, Naughty made up her mind.

"Don't be in a hurry." Eric shook his head slightly, and pressed down the impetuosity of the young man, his voice was not hurried, and his attitude was not angry or joyful, as gentle as usual, seeing his attitude. The young man seemed to have found a psychological support.

"Regardless, it's safe here, Professor. I can take you around outside, but I'm actually standing on the shoulders of giants, and you should stay here during this time. ”

To be fair, the professor's dedication is not small, but his approach is too conservative, but it has become a constraint.

"Will we see you again?" After a moment of silence, Lorna asked dejectedly, this girl was hurt by her biological father last time, and this time she will lose the mentor who is regarded as her father. She couldn't bear to cry out, which was the limit of her feelings.

"Yes, I promise." Eric whispered. "Even if I get entangled in an accident, or if someone trips my feet, even if I go around the earth, I will come and pick you up from the other direction - if you are willing to go with me."

The students nodded their heads again and again, and at this time, even the conservative Babi and Corrie, who had just arrived at the academy, shook their heads vigorously, for fear that they would be locked up in the academy from now on, they were close to adulthood, how could they continue to maintain their past lives?

Katie held on for a moment. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she couldn't restrain her feelings anymore and burst into tears.

"Why leave, why can't we live in peace?" The conflict between the two lives she respects the most, the girl feels sad from the bottom of her heart.

Her crying silenced everyone. It took a while before he stopped.

In order not to turn the dinner party into a memorial service, Eric hurried to comfort the students.

"It's only a brief separation, and I promise you'll be back. You don't have to worry that I'll live like a homeless man under a bridge or on a park bench, I have a way to get by. I'll live like a king - maybe in a few days, and as soon as you look up while you're in class on campus, there's a building next to it. It must have been the land near the college that I bought and built on a large scale. ”

"Then the professor will be angry." Katie was coaxed into tears by him, and seemed to really see that scene.

Everyone knows the methods of this mentor, and when he says this, it seems that he will come back at any time, so the sorrow of parting has been alleviated a lot, and some people have even begun to look forward to how to tactfully promote the reunion of the professor and the tutor at that time.

They probably fantasize that this is just a battle of wills.

Without further explanation, the dishes were served one after another, a fall menu with complimentary bread and butter, and although it wasn't served at the top of Manhattan's top restaurants, the young man's low mood had left them hungry with an exuberant appetite, and soon the rye sourdough bread was swept away, the Spanish green vegetable gazder with a fragrant mint cream received extra praise, and most of the students became cheerful in the delicious caviar and scallops, which they should have been at such a carefree age.

Towards the end, a commotion came from outside.

They were so hidden that they didn't pay attention, and a fire broke out at a market about two hundred yards away.

Now there is no need for Eric to arrange, John will lead the team to deal with it, he saw that the firefighters were busy dealing with the flames with foam and dry powder, so he left Bobby behind, his ability is not suitable for this fight, he stayed here and watched the two children, Burning Man and his classmates went over to help.

"Jimmy, come back!"

Eric had just finished swiping his card when he heard Bobby screaming behind him, and just now Jimmy had slipped outside under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

"I'm going to give Lorna the ring." The boy shouted vaguely and disappeared into the crowd.

Eric immediately chased after him, Jimmy's abilities could only be effective for his fellow human beings and he was not trained to protect himself, and it would be dangerous for him to sneak into the fire.

The market that caught fire was burning, a cosmetics and clothing market run by South American immigrants, and unruly South Americans had stockpiled some blended ingredients in it, and not long ago they had brought in some bizarre supplies for Halloween, that is, there were a lot of flammable chemicals that fueled the fire, and if they were rescued with watery freezing gas, it could lead to worse results.

John's idea was right, but he stood outside to clear the spreading fire for the fire truck and didn't see Jimmy, who, according to others, ran in from where the others had passed.

Eric pushes away the firefighters who stand in the way, and he must do his best to find Jimmy. It's very dangerous inside, the toxic smoke chokes people and makes it difficult to breathe, and if it weren't for someone trapped in Lorna and the others, they wouldn't have gone in.

"Boss?" Eric was searching, and Alicent walked out with the trapped man in a soot face, followed by Pete with a strong man with a bleeding head on his back.

"Where's Lona?" Eric asked. "Jimmy slipped in and looked for her."

"They're in the back, right out." Pete coughed twice and covered his mouth in reply.

Get a reply. Eric immediately rushed inside, and now the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the heat was shifting from west to east under the cold wind of autumn, and the poisonous smoke was getting thicker.

On the way here, I heard from the firefighters that this was originally built illegally by two adjacent shopping malls, and the South American owner changed the design without permission during the acquisition, and the structure between the buildings was not complete, and the other half of the building was also worrying about its quality due to its age, and Eric even felt a little crumbling in the high temperature.

Thankfully, he soon saw the other students and a couple of daring firefighters, who weren't far apart, but Jimmy was causing them some trouble. He was standing on the other side of the mall, ten feet away from it, and the walkway that had been converted into a shop by a black-hearted South American owner was now burning, connected only by a narrow steel beam as narrow as a single-plank bridge welded with steel plates. Lorna yells at Jimmy, but he insists on sending the children out of the back.

"Jimmy, come here." Eric gestured to the opposite side, and the nearby metal flew out into a long whip of steel.

"Don't come here!" Jimmy screamed as he reached out to block the rescue, through the growing smoke. Eric saw a silver ring on his finger.

The boy had really found a way to make Zuò's ring for Lorna, and now he was able to keep Eric a few feet away.

The whip lost its momentum and hung limply, quickly regaining its vitality out of Jimmy's power. Instead, he turned his head and went up to get the last child who Jimmy had rescued and was slowly climbing over the steel beam.

"It's dangerous there, why don't you come here, I can get out of the way?" Eric shouted with a frown, Jimmy's strength was simply a mutant nemesis. Even he had to be careful not to suffer a loss after getting the increase.

"I want to be a hero like you, I don't want to be locked up in the academy forever." Jimmy shouted from the distance between the two buildings, Eric could understand his psychology. Perhaps it was the discrimination he suffered as a child that made the boy unexpectedly stubborn in some ways.

Just like the time when he was in distress at the carnival, he obviously didn't have enough strength, but he had to pull others and not let go.

"I see, you can be as great as John in the future, and I will find a way for you to achieve your abilities." Eric shouted to comfort him.

"Really?" Jimmy yelled.

Eric nodded and waved.

I don't know if it's because of the heat or something else, Jimmy blushed and continued to scream.

"You don't blame me last time I drugged your tea?"

Eric narrowed his eyes, he finally knew why the boy was so upset.

During the first home visit, Jimmy thought that Eric was going to get rid of himself who was inherently bad for mutants, so he used the excuse to open his father and hand him tea, and after receiving the assurance, he took the full cup back, this time Eric already knew that there was a problem, but he didn't puncture it, and it seems that the boy's heart knot has always been here.

"I don't blame you." He shouted. "Throw the ring away."

The sand and gravel on the roof of the building are constantly slipping, adding new disadvantages to the already dangerous shape, but Jimmy is still chattering, if it weren't for the storage of the amplification ring, he could completely ignore the boy's ability.

"There's one more thing you don't blame me?" Despite choking on the smoke, Jimmy yelled again.

"Did you do the end of the world?" Eric shouted, Jimmy didn't care about it, he couldn't do anything for a while.

"It's not." Jimmy coughs, and Eric tries to reach him in a different way, but Jimmy screams hysterically and loudly, and Eric has to stop trying.

"I did something stupid, listen to me." Jimmy shouted. "I was afraid that you would kill me, so I asked my friend to save something, and that was ......"

As he spoke, Eric's gaze froze.

Fifteen feet above Jimmy, a massive wall in disrepair slowly broke away from the steel bar, revealing its concrete-covered belly and sliding down in a nonchalant sneer.

Time seemed to return to the moment on Carnival Square, and Jimmy was once again standing in the middle of life and death.

shouted a few times, but the boy was still excited and didn't pay attention.

Eric pointed at the rebar and tried to get it to drag the wall back, while manipulating the magnetic field to fly in the opposite direction.

Jimmy was unaware of his danger, and when he saw Eric forcibly pass Guò, he immediately raised his hand with the ring.

The two forces clashed, and the magnetic field finally overwhelmed Jimmy's talent, but at this moment, the wall fell.

Eric looked at the dust splattering across him, and his heart sank. (To be continued!)
