Chapter 153: The Vanishing Mutant

On the bar in the living room, Lorna was excitedly telling Ye Zixun about the progress of the nursing home case.

Ye Zixun held the coffee in his hand, smiled and looked at his girlfriend's side face, and listened to her words quietly.

“…… According to my and Sonya's speculation, as long as the nursing home case goes well, we at Skinner & Dane will be able to make at least $4 million out of it, and maybe even more! ”

"Four million?"

Ye Zixun looked amazed and nodded, "That should indeed be celebrated." ”

Lorna shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's talk about it when everything settles!" ”

Speaking of this, Lorna paused, looked into Ye Zixun's eyes and said expectantly: "On the day of the trial, will you come to participate?" ”

"Me?" Ye Zixun was stunned, pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile, "It depends, if I can, I will definitely not miss it." ”

"That's great!" Lorna had a look of delight on her face.

At this moment, Ye Zixun's mobile phone rang.

The familiar ringtone made the smile on Lorna's face fade.

Ye Zixun glanced at her helplessly, and then took out his mobile phone: "Is there something wrong, sir?" ”

"It's time for action, your investigative target has been shown up in New Mexico, and has been linked to the 084 incident there, Coulson thought the two missions might be able to be carried out together, so he applied to me......"

Listening to Nick Fury's words on the phone, Ye Zixun couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, don't tell me you've reviewed ......"

"Yes, I've reviewed it, and now I have 24 hours to take care of my personal affairs, and in 24 hours, I'm going to see your location in New Mexico, or at least on the plane to New Mexico."

"Alright, sir, I see."

Ye Zixun hung up the phone and looked at Lorna apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Lona, I look like I'm on another field assignment again."

“…… Where to? ”

"New Mexico."

Lorna nodded slightly, holding her warm coffee in her hand.

Ye Zixun thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Do you know S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

Lorna was stunned: "What? ”

Ye Zixun lowered his voice and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D., the full name is the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau. ”

Looking at the serious look on Ye Zixun's face, Luo Na's face was stunned, and she seemed to have some premonitions in her heart.

After all, they are a couple who have been sleeping together for many years and are almost about to talk about marriage, and it is difficult for them to hide any big secrets from each other, Ye Zixun can detect that Luo Na has a secret, and Luo Na naturally finds that he is not an ordinary FBI agent.

After hesitating, Lorna shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Ye Zixun explained in a low voice: "This is a mysterious department hidden behind the scenes, with great power, and is responsible for investigating all kinds of mysterious events, and I am a seventh-level agent under S.H.I.E.L.D......."

Lorna looked at him in a daze: "Why did you tell me this all of a sudden?" ”

Ye Zixun smiled slightly: "Of course, it's to make you feel at ease!" ”

"Peace of mind?"

"yes, so you don't have to think that I'm using the task as an excuse to hide what bad things I'm doing behind your back - phew, to be honest, this is a big secret I've been hiding from you for eight years, and it feels much easier to say it now!"

Looking at Ye Zixun, whose face was relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, Lorna's face changed, and her heart was at war.

Soon, she gritted her teeth and said as if she had made a decision: "Actually, I have something to hide from you, I ......"

Ye Zixun replied with a smile: "You are a mutant. ”

Lorna was slightly stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

“…… You know? ”

"Of course I do." Ye Zixun said with an unfathomable expression, "Remember what I just said, S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for investigating all kinds of mysterious events, including aliens, magic, mutants, and superpowers. ”

"So you've already looked into my information."

"To be honest, no." Ye Zixun shook his head, "According to my guess, it seems that something has happened to the mutants, causing their secrecy level to become extremely high, and with my current authority, I can't access the relevant information for the time being." ”

Lorna wondered, "Then how do you know?" ”

Ye Zixun said with a blushing face and a heartbeat: "Of course I guessed it, after all, I am a seventh-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., I have been exposed to countless extraordinary events, and I know best the mentality of you superpowers hidden in ordinary people, not to mention that you and I are still a couple who get along day and night, you don't think you can really hide it from me, right?" ”

“……”

Lornawen fell silent when she heard this, and after a long time, she suddenly spoke: "715 Westchester incident." ”

Ye Zixun was stunned for a moment: "What? ”

Lorna explained softly, "This is a mass casualty incident caused by mutants, the initiator of the incident is a mutant with powerful psychic abilities, we call him Professor X, as far as I know, Professor X accidentally killed nearly a thousand innocent humans and mutants due to body spasms that caused his abilities to go out of control. ”

"After this incident, human officials took some kind of measures against mutants, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of mutants, and those mutant organizations that had been extremely active until then began to disappear......"

"I see." Ye Zixun thought thoughtfully, "According to this, Professor X may have acquiesced to the measures taken by humans because of his inner guilt, and may even take the initiative to contribute to the fire and seal the memories of mutants in the brains of humans around the world, otherwise it would not be possible to explain that no one knows about mutants now." ”

"It's a possibility."

Lorna nodded, and suddenly asked in a complicated tone, "What do you think?" ”

Ye Zixun was surprised: "What do you think?" ”

Lorna hesitated and said softly, "Of course it's about mutants, after all, there have been mutants who have done such terrible things, if you feel afraid of me because of this, even ...... Even disgust, I can fully understand it......"

"Lorna, what are you talking about?"

Ye Zixun laughed, then gently held Lorna's hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I don't care if you are a human or a so-called mutant, because I love Lorna Dayne, as for identity, it is just your accessory and plus, not to mention that you are just a mutant, even if you are the ultimate villain hidden behind the world, I am willing to be the enemy of the world for you......"

Hearing Ye Zixun's incomparably affectionate confession, Lorna's eyes and cheeks gradually became rosy.

Ye Zixun chuckled and hugged her into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Besides, what are mutants, I have seen genius scientists who turned into green monsters because they actively accepted human experiments, I have seen genius billionaires wearing steel armor flying around the world, and I have also seen countless cruel wars set off by humans - to put it mildly, compared to the crisis caused by humans themselves, mutants are really not worth mentioning!" ”

Leaning into the familiar warm embrace, Lorna bit her lower lip lightly, and her mind unconsciously recalled the scene of her first awakening ability.

It was her first kiss with Ye Zixun in the cinema, and the sudden magnetic force made Luo Na feel very panicked at that time, and there was an urge to escape, but Ye Zixun did not do what she wanted, forcibly left her behind, and continued to kiss in the dark.

At that time, she was also in such a warm embrace, gradually regained her calm, and magically learned how to control her ability.

Recalling the sweet love affair in the past, Lorna suddenly remembered some things, and immediately said a little shyly: "By the way, there are still some things I haven't told you......"

Ye Zixun sniffed the fragrance of the shampoo on the tip of his nose, and asked a little absent-mindedly, "What's the matter?" ”

Lorna looked up from his arms, looked into his eyes and said with some embarrassment, "Laura, John, and Sonia in the law firm are actually mutants too. ”

“…… Ha? ”

Ye Zixun's eyes widened and he looked at his girlfriend in his arms in dismay.

Meaning their law firm has now turned into a base camp for mutants?

"You mean, you formed an underground mutant organization?"

"It's not an organization, is it?" Lorna thought for a moment and explained, "I just found these mutants who were not accepted by their families, brought them together, and supported each other in life, without any specific goals or goals, if I had to say, I guess I just lived like ordinary people......"

Ye Zixun nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked vigilantly, "Do you know Marcus?" ”

Lorna thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don't know." ”

It's good if you don't know each other......

Ye Zixun nodded, Marcus is the boyfriend of Polaris Lorna in the American drama "X-Men: God's Gift", he showed the ability of mutants since he was a child, so he was abandoned by his parents, in order to make a living, Marcus joined a Mexican trafficker D organization, under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult for him to socialize with Lorna today.

Lorna asked curiously, "Is he also a mutant?" ”

Ye Zixun said seriously: "That's right, and it's a bad mutant who has joined a criminal organization." ”

Lorna thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand, if I have the opportunity to meet him in the future, I will definitely be careful." ”

Ye Zixun said with relief: "That's right, and once you start to do it, you must not show mercy to your subordinates, and deal with this kind of wicked person who is willing to fall, you should kill him and send him to God to repent!" ”
