Chapter Thirty-Eight: Raven

"Leave!?" Emma asked curiously, repeatedly.

"That's right." Li Yi nodded, his eyes looked at Emma seriously and said: "I told you when I left, I am not from this world, I am just an outsider, and I came this time to take you to my world, it is a very safe world, there is no conflict between mutants and humans, and there will be no sentinel machines, where are my parents, I hope you go back with me, I want to join the same, and I have been living with me." ”

"What about mutants?" Emma's question made Li Yi frown, this was the last thing he wanted, he was not interested in the conflict between mutants and humans in this world at all, although it seemed a little selfish, but he only cared about his wife and daughter.

Li Yi's frown made Emma realize something, and she said with a warm refusal in her eyes: "I'm sorry, dear, I love you very much, but I can't just leave everyone and leave with you, I am now responsible for protecting the lives of thousands of mutants, I can't abandon them like this." ”

Li Yi looked at everyone and found that Leah also looked like she was sharing the joys and sorrows with her mother, and Li Yi realized that she seemed to have ignored something, ignoring Emma and Leah and half of her identity - mutants.

"No... It's that I've thought too little about it. Li Yi also looked at everyone apologetically, what he said just now was really irresponsible, but he had no choice but to deal with the conflict between humans and mutants in this world, now. The conflict between humans and mutants has reached the point where you can let go if you don't let go, so what should I do?

Seeing Li Yi frowning and meditating. Emma hugged Li Yi's neck and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, dear, I'm not just your wife now, I'm also the leader of the mutants, and there are some things I have to make the right choice." ”

"I understand that I was being too selfish. Things haven't gotten so bad that I wonder if there's some way to get the best of both worlds. Li Yi said meditatively. looked at Ruiwen and Zhang Huan, who looked at each other at a loss, his irresponsible words just now seemed to have hurt these two girls, and he had to reluctantly smile. Hugging his wife. Changing the subject, he asked: "Okay, don't think about this headache yet, tell me, what happened after I left, Charles only sued me partially?" ”

"Our experience was relatively simple, and with the help of Leah's abilities, no one could catch us. The sentinels didn't work either, so. In the aftermath of the attack on the Academy, we positioned our headquarters and rescued mutants from Sentinels around the world, bringing them here and protecting them. Emma said simply, but Li Yi could imagine the danger and pain that might be encountered.

"Didn't the Sentinels find it?" He asked, curiously.

"It's almost thanks to Ms. Emma." The answer was Ruiwen, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and at this time, Li Yi suddenly found that the current Ruiwen seemed to be a little different, but he couldn't say what the difference was.

Raven replied, "We have camouflaged bases in other countries to draw attention and confuse the sentinels, who can't tell the real from the fake, and that's usually with mutants with special abilities in charge of this mission. And our current mutants are divided into various squads, some are responsible for secret sentry reconnaissance, some are responsible for combat cover, and some are responsible for logistics, in general, each has its own responsibilities, each job needs, and Ms. Emma has developed a drug that can temporarily disguise the X gene in her body, this drug can temporarily prevent the Sentinel Qì people from discovering the X gene in our body, which is unique to us, which makes us the safest refuge among all mutants. ”

"I only briefly suppressed the mutant genes in their DNA, although it made them look like normal people and couldn't be detected by the sentinels, but it also had some effect on their superpowers for a while. Moreover, in order to protect this drug from being discovered by the Trask industry, the research department countered the method, so it was only used when performing special tasks. Emma explained simply, but her face didn't look very happy.

Emma's growth made Li Yi very proud, and said praisedly: "You are getting better and better, dear." ”

"But it's only temporary." Emma shook her head and said with some pain: "As this drug is used more and more times, mutants will also develop corresponding resistances in their bodies, and the duration of the drug's effect will become shorter and shorter, so, recently, our operation has failed several times, and many mutants have been killed. ”

When she said this, it made Li Yi feel that Emma seemed to have really paid herself the price of being the leader of the mutants, although this was a fact, but it still made Li Yi feel a headache.

Li Yi frowned, seeing Emma's appearance, Li Yi knew that if this problem was not completely solved, Emma would definitely not leave with him, and Leah was probably too.

"What to do? What does it take for humans to coexist with mutants?"

Li Yi had a headache and thought that he had no choice at the moment, maybe only a brain like Charles could come up with it.

Thinking of Charles, Li Yi suddenly remembered that Charles and Ilya were still left in Japan by him. He hurriedly stood up.

"How?" Seeing Li Yi's panicked appearance, Emma was also startled and asked.

"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered that I left Charles and a mutant girl in Japan, wait a minute, I'll go pick them up, I think you guys should want to see him too."

Saying that, seeing Emma's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in more than ten minutes, soon." ”

With that, the whole person turned into a light and disappeared.

Looking at the disappeared Li Yi, Emma and Leah didn't react.

"Dad, it seems to be getting better."

Looking at the disappeared Li Yi, Leah hugged the bear and muttered.

Emma looked at Raven apologetically and asked, "Do you want to hide first?" ”

She originally planned to stop Li Yi, after all, it had become very awkward between Raven and Charles.

"Nope." Raven smiled very reluctantly and said, "Some things always have to be faced, and it's useless to run away. ”

The three of them only waited for less than ten minutes, Li Yi's figure appeared here, Leah didn't even finish breakfast, and saw Li Yi appear in the house with Charles and Elijah, and instantly the atmosphere in the whole room became very weird, Charles looked at Ruiwen with guilt, but Ruiwen looked indifferent, but there was always an inexplicable emotion hidden in her eyes.

Li Yi looked at this scene strangely, he originally thought that there would be a tearful scene after a long reunion, but now what is going on.

"Honey, you're too fast." Emma cleverly changed the topic and looked at Li Yi, "In ten minutes, you flew from the United States to Japan, and you flew back." ”

Li Yi smiled proudly and said, "It could have been faster, but it was a waste of time in the middle, and I had to bring the brainwave search device with me." ”

Emma also looked proud, walked up to Li Yi's side, and said, "Let's go out first, let Charles and Ruiwen talk." ”

"Hmm." Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and did not object.

So, the group walked out of the house, and when they went outside, everyone introduced each other, mainly Li Yi introduced his wife and daughter to Ilya, as well as Zhang Huan, and then Emma spoke: "Leah, you and Huan take our new friend to find a place to live." ”

"Hmm" Leah nodded obediently, taking Ilya and Zhang Huan with her, after the bear left.

Emma sighed at Li Yi and slowly explained: "A lot of things have happened between Charles and Ruiwen, and their relationship is not what you imagined now?" ”

"What happened?" Li Yi was also a little curious.

"Remember, when you came to me and asked me to help Raven and make her a normal person?"

Emma asked, and Li Yizhi also remembered what was going on, at that time, Raven was really distressed by her unusual appearance.

"But does it matter?"

"Of course." Emma glanced at Li Yi, and then said: "Actually, Raven has always liked Charles, but because of her appearance, she has always had low self-esteem, and later, after you left, I cracked the code of the metamorphosis gene in her body, so that she could maintain a normal human state, which is what you just saw." ”

"Oh......" Li Yichang sighed and looked at Emma in surprise: "You actually cracked Raven's gene earlier than Trask." ”

"No...... It wasn't the same, my purpose at the time was just to keep her normal human girl appearance, so although I did crack her metamorphosis at the time, I didn't dig into it. ”

"That's a shame." Li Yi said with some regret, it can be said that Raven's metamorphosis gene is very powerful, which can make a person completely become another person, from the body, hair, gender, to DNA, and cells, all of which are changed, which is why Trask wants to get Raven very much, because it means that if Raven's ability is developed to the point of being strong enough, even the superpowers of mutants can be simulated.

"It's not a pity." With a confident smile, Emma continued, "Actually, I ended up with the same genetic code in Raven's body as Trask!! (To be continued......)
