Chapter 29 Fate

The little guy was taken back.

It was not too difficult to follow such a young boy, although he was already cautious.

Standing on that barren land, Shen Yi looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.

Gentleness still stands by his side.

Wenrou apologized and said: "I asked the fat man just now. The only time he was not with Jerry was when I called him to see you last night... I was too careless at that time, and the fat man told me to be careful, but I don't understand."

"It's a common mistake for everyone to underestimate a weaker opponent. It's not unusual to make such a mistake, but it's rare to never make it. You don't mind."

Wen Rou rolled his eyes at him: "Why do I think your consolation doesn't look like consolation?"

Shen Yi burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, let me put it another way. Let's put it this way, the kind of person who regards everyone as extremely powerful and is cautious in every way does not meet the needs of survival. If a person is nervous for a long time, It will only make myself look like a neuropathy, like a fat man. You have to take care of a child to the point of being careful all the time, either you have no self-confidence, or you are oversensitive.”

"That sounds about the same." Rou Rou laughed like a child.

Not far away, An Wen strode over.

Send the poison dart to Shen Yi, and stretch out his hand to Shen Yi: "Bring it!"

"What?" Shen Yi didn't understand.

"The 500 blood points you overcharged. You are lying to me on purpose! Wei Na didn't find the address of the headquarters of the mutants at all. You are trying to lure that kid into taking the bait! Since there is no address, we don't need to go and A large number of mutants are fighting. I don't want this poison dart, I will return it to you!" An Wen shouted angrily.

Shen Yi replied lightly: "It is true that there was no mutant address before, but it does not mean that there is no address now."

"where?"

"time Square."

"Specific address."

"I don't know, but it doesn't have to be clear."

"Why? Because I just found out that the little boy is not a subordinate of Magneto, he should be a student of Professor X Charles. I now understand why Storm Girl and the others appeared when we were fighting mutants. They notified Magneto, and then Magneto sent people to encircle us. Fortunately, Magneto himself did not appear in today's battle, otherwise we would be in trouble. Times Square is where Professor X is, and I don't want to provoke that person."

According to the hint of the bloody coat of arms, Professor X is not the leader of the mutant organization. He and his students remained neutral. The mutant organization is mainly led by Magneto. Shen Yi did not intend to drag a powerful neutral existence to the level of hostility, not to mention that he himself still has full respect for Professor X.

However, Professor X obviously secretly sympathized with the mutant organization, so his students appeared in Magneto's organization, and in the face of the invasion of adventurers, Professor X chose to notify Magneto.

"So you're going to give up?"

"yes."

"Then you take the poison dart back!" An Wen shouted.

Shen Yi looked at this female adventurer with a devil figure with funny eyes, and said in a mocking tone: "When did you hear that sold goods can be returned?"

"Then I don't care. You made the deal by deceit."

Hearing An Wen's evaluation, Shen Yi's face quickly sank: "You are the most short-sighted woman I have ever seen. Don't forget that you take things first and pay later. Before entering the mission world, I followed the same way People borrowed money. The extra money is not to blackmail you, but the necessary risk and return. After all, no one can guarantee whether you will survive in the next operation. If you die, my investment will be wiped out. In other words, in order to ensure the safety of investment, I still need to protect you. In this world of murderous killings, it is worth spending 500 blood points to hire a group of powerful bodyguards. But you obviously lack sufficient economic awareness, You can't even understand such benefits, but your eyes are only on the bloody point of overpayment. If a person only knows what he paid but not what he got,

Then there will be a friendship barrier... Since you don't need the poison dart, then terminate the transaction. "

As he spoke, Shen Yi took away the poison dart and terminated the contract casually.

An Wen was dumbfounded when she heard that, why was she blackmailed for 500 blood points, and it sounded like she was taking advantage of herself?

How is this going?

She hadn't thought about such a deep question at all.

In fact, with her temperament, she would not ask Shen Yi for these 500 blood points. After all, Shen Yi saved them, even asking for a reward is not too much.

But asking for a reward is one thing, and cheating money is another.

What An Wen couldn't accept was that Shen Yi used deception to take blood points from her.

But what Shen Yi said at this moment turned into Shen Yi's care for them.

This immediately confused An Wen.

Ruan Wen walked past her, looked at her with pity, and said softly: "No one thinks of having too many friends, especially in this world of killing. Shen Yi has always hoped to know more friends with potential, but when it comes to Life and death, friends should not be promiscuous. This time he met you and wanted to be friends with you, but he didn't know that you can't be trusted. This kind of trust not only requires reliable character, but also reliable ability …It’s a pity that you failed the test. After this mission, everyone parted ways. Of course, if you need it, we will still help you. After all, you are all Chinese, but all of them are paid services.”

—————————————

When Shen Yi returned to the motel, Jerry Lacio was sitting in the corner alone.

Shen Yi looked at the terrified expression on the little guy's face, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Jerry shook his head, "I'm not afraid of myself."

Shen Yi was startled, two lines of tears already flowed from Jerry's eyes.

He sobbed and looked at Shen Yi: "I don't understand why you want to kill mutants. I don't understand why humans and mutants can't live in harmony. What did we do wrong? Kill us just because we have supernatural powers ?”

Shen Yi sighed softly.

"No, boy, it's not your fault," he said.

"What did you say?" Jerry was taken aback.

"I said it wasn't your fault."

"Then why do you..."

"A lot of things have nothing to do with right or wrong. If you want to ask me why I want to kill mutants, I can only answer you, this is your destiny, and it is also my destiny. I can't answer you more, but I can be very sure Let me tell you, I don’t think what I’m doing is right. Too bad a lot of times we have to do it even though we know it’s wrong.”

Jerry stared blankly at Shen Yi, this was the first time he heard someone think that killing mutants was a mistake to his face.

He didn't openly explain why the genes of mutants are different from human beings. The existence of mutants is a huge unstable factor for the security of human society. There are no such absurd reasons, only a sincere admission of one's own mistakes.

But at the same time, the man expressed an attitude that he had no choice but to carry it out.

After thinking about it, Jerry said, "I don't believe there is any fate that cannot be resisted."

"Don't be silly, kid. The dogmas in those books are used to deceive people. Everyone in the world has a destiny, some destiny can be resisted, and some destiny cannot be resisted. For example, you can't choose your origin, you are a mutant, this is Your destiny. And we, the meaning of our existence here is to kill you, this is our destiny. For this destiny, the only thing I can do is to choose who to kill or not to kill."

"I do not understand."

"Yes, you don't understand, just like you don't understand why there are mutants in this world. Similarly, we are also incomprehensible existences. I can't give you too much explanation, I can only tell you that even if I kill As a mutant, I have never been proud of it. If I can, I would rather go to the battlefield to face the real enemy."

The little boy thought for a while, then said softly: "Someone forced you to do this, right?"

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face, but he didn't say anything.

For this mission, the Bloody Emblem did not remind him not to reveal his identity. But Shen Yi still didn't dare to easily reveal the meaning of adventurer's existence.

He didn't know what the consequences would be, and in the face of an existence like the bloody city, it was better never to try some things.

Looking at Little Jerry at this moment, Shen Yi said in as kind a tone as possible: "So... you used the same method to notify Professor Charles yesterday, right? He is your teacher?"

The boy nodded: "He is a great man."

"A person worthy of respect." Shen Yi also said.

"You know him?" the boy excited. Perhaps knowing that Shen Yi and the others were also forced to act, the boy began to sympathize with Shen Yi, so the hatred he brought was also reduced a little.

"Of course, very well. I guess he's walking on his own legs now."

The boy grinned: "Yes, but still an old man."

"Then have you ever been in contact with Magneto?" Shen Yi poured a glass of water for the boy.

The boy did not refuse. He took the water glass, thought for a while, and replied: "He is a stubborn old man. He has always believed that the future should belong to mutants, because mutants are the embodiment of human evolution. He said that the reason why humans treat mutants in this way is that It's because they're afraid of us. But I don't understand, if humans are afraid of us, why are mutants hiding while humans can hunt us?"

"That's because mutants haven't really developed yet." Shen Yi interjected, "Have you ever seen a tiger in a zoo?"

The boy nodded.

Shen Yi said: "Those animal trainers can tame ferocious tigers to be obedient. But tigers are inherently wild. There are always some tigers, and sometimes they will suddenly go berserk. Tamed tigers happen every year in this world. The tiger killed the animal trainer. Whenever this happens, according to regulations, the tiger that killed the animal trainer will no longer be able to perform, no matter how it behaves in the future. Why do you say that is?"

"Because they are afraid that the tiger will have problems again?"

"Yes, because they are afraid of it. See, even if it is a beast that is domesticated and tamed by humans, humans will be afraid of it. But as long as humans want to, they can kill every tiger in the world. Fear and victory are the same thing. Two different things. Humans are more numerous and more organized than mutants, and therefore stronger, but that doesn't mean they're not afraid of mutants. Especially when this group continues to expand and has the will to resist..."

"You mean... you support that old man Magneto?" Jerry was curious.

"From the mutant's point of view, he is not wrong, he just started a war that is destined to be impossible to win. But many wars will not be eliminated because of predicting the outcome. Some wars... even if they fail To carry on to the end, to fight to the end.”

"But they will die... I saw many mutants die. The professor said that he hoped to stop the war and let humans and mutants live together beautifully, but he failed..." Jerry confided in a low voice, Eye sockets turned red again.

He looked up at Shen Yi, and cried out in a sad tone: "Please, don't kill mutants anymore, okay? Don't kill them anymore. No matter what your reasons are, the mutants you killed They're all innocent. They don't deserve to die! Let them go, okay?!"

At the end of his speech, he finally couldn't help crying loudly.

After all, it is a child, and once it cries, it can no longer be dealt with, crying so sadly, crying so loudly.

Shen Yi stood there like that, quietly watching the little guy cry, feeling a little confused for a moment.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Maybe there is a way to solve this problem."
