Chapter 30 Cooperation
Little Jerry looked at Shen Yi in surprise.
"What did you say?"
"You heard what I said. I said that I don't like what I'm doing. If I can, I want to stop this from happening even more than you do." Shen Yi replied seriously.
Little Jerry became excited, and he yelled, "You mean you have a way to stop this?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "It's not stopping, just making some changes."
"how to change?"
Shen Yi thought for a while, and carefully considered the words: "My mission in this world is to kill mutants. I can't fight and change this mission, but at least I can choose the way to accomplish it."
"How to choose?"
"Distinguish them. Not every mutant is innocent. There are a considerable number of mutants. After they discover their abilities, they will choose to use their abilities to do things they shouldn't do. Ability is the same as power, which corrupts people. The best tool. These people use their abilities to satisfy themselves, but they destroy the relationship between mutants and humans. In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of these people that humans are full of vigilance against mutants, and the human government passed The Twelfth Amendment also made the confrontation between humans and mutants finally stimulated... This kind of mutants is the chief culprit of this worldwide disaster. If I say that I kill such mutants, I will not have any psychological apology .”
"Then how do you tell them apart? Do you know who is guilty? Who is not guilty?"
"I can't tell the difference. In order to fight against the human government, Magneto gathered all the mutants. He doesn't care who is guilty and who is not. This approach has brought difficulties in the execution of my plan. But I Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it either..."
Shen Yi looked at the little guy, and said word by word: "You can tell the difference, right? I need your help, Jerry. You can lead me to find them and tell them apart."
"Me?" The little guy looked at Shen Yi in surprise.
"Yes, you!" Shen Yi nodded seriously: "You are a student of Professor X, and you have psychic abilities similar to Professor X. Then you must be able to sense the existence of mutants."
The little guy's face was pale.
In fact, even if the little guy didn't admit it, Shen Yi already knew about it.
Having learned the lesson, Shen Yi especially observed the little guy with mental exploration.
"Jerry Lacio, a third-level mutant. Possesses special abilities: 1 activation 2 communication."
A mutant child with two powers, and a third-level mutant. He didn't know what ability to communicate at first, and he didn't understand until the little guy showed it
Now what makes Shen Yi fancy is the little guy's ability to communicate.
This ability is obviously a kind of ability of telepathic communication.
It is through this ability that the little one establishes a bond with the animals, and the animals convey messages for themselves.
If you can communicate with animals, then it will be no problem to communicate with humans.
So after Shen Yi discovered this, he immediately realized that the little guy's ability would also be of great help to them.
"Then you will choose to kill only those damned, guilty mutants, and let those innocent ones go? This is what you said that you can't fight against your mission, but you can choose how to carry out your mission?"
"Yes. I can even notify those mutants we let go, so that they can escape the pursuit of other people who may come... people like me."
Shen Yi's expression was full of sincerity.
In all honesty, this was indeed the best way he could think of at the moment.
It's hard to say whether this method is for themselves or for the mutants, but there is no doubt that for Shen Yi and the others, with Little Jerry providing search help and Nedinil fighting for help, then for Shen Yi and the others, this The next competition task will become easier. This is far faster and more effective than relying on Wei Na and the others.
It's worth trying for yourself and others.
Shen Yi didn't have to worry about whether there were enough goddamn mutants in New York City.
As he put it, ability, like power, is a breeding ground for corruption.
As many greedy officials as there are, there will be as many unscrupulous mutants.
In fact, at least half of the mutants have used their abilities to break the law, at least one fifth of them are eligible to be executed, and a small number of them are even eligible to be shot a hundred times, such as being killed by Shen Yi before. The Jacken Haag who died.
As long as Jerry is willing to help him, it will not be difficult to find these mutants, and the rest is a matter of execution.
At this moment, Little Jerry looked at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi was looking at him with a smile.
The little guy's face suddenly changed.
He stared at Shen Yi with vigilant eyes, and suddenly shouted: "You must be trying to lie to me again! You are a big liar! You have lied to me twice, don't think I will trust you again! You are a bunch of devils Murderous devil! What you just said is all false. You don’t want to help us at all! You just want to use me to find mutants. You don’t want to get any help from me, I won’t tell you anything!”
"Jerry, it's not like this, listen to me. If you don't believe me, you can use your ability to sense me and communicate with my heart. You know the heart can't lie..."
"I can't sense existences stronger than me! Even if I could sense it, I wouldn't believe you!" Little Jerry yelled and blocked his ears, refusing to listen to Shen Yi again.
Shen Yi stared blankly at the little guy for a while, finally sighed, and walked out of the room without saying anything.
Outside the door, Rourou was leaning against the wall of the corridor with arms folded, looking at him with a smile.
Shen Yi's heart moved slightly, he stepped forward and said, "Did you hear everything?"
Gentle and very playful turned her head and thought for a while, and then replied: "Since I got the ability of hearing enhancement, I seldom turn it on. Because I find that the world is sometimes so noisy, and most of what you hear The sound is actually unbearable. But I have to admit that it is indeed a good way to discover secrets."
Shen Yi smiled wryly and spread his hands: "It's not a secret, it's just a temporary idea, but you can also hear that I'm holding back. People, sometimes you just can't do things that have no reputation. It's really interesting. When I want to lie to him, It succeeded easily. But when I didn't want to lie to him, I clearly said what was in my heart, but failed."
Gentlely said: "That's because when you didn't want to lie to him, you didn't regard him as an enemy."
"What?" Shen Yi was taken aback.
A gentle hand was already on Shen Yi's shoulder: "Do you know who the negotiation skills are used on? Opponents. You lied to him the first two times because you were calculating him, so you have considered every point of him reaction. But this time you are not plotting against him, you don't even think that he is still in the enemy's position, you just conceived a plan, and even you yourself are excited about this plan. You think it is against us , a way that is good for Jerry. So if you don't regard him as an opponent, your reaction to his possible existence will be underestimated."
Shen Yi stroked his chin in surprise, thought for a while, and nodded: "You are right, the reason why people make mistakes is often not because we underestimate the opponent, but because we don't regard the opponent as an opponent at all."
"So you now know how to win Jerry's trust?" He asked with a gentle smile.
"Of course, to be honest, it's not difficult at all." Shen Yi laughed.
———————————
Half an hour later, Wei Na came back.
She brought good news.
In a community eight kilometers away from the motel, she found some information about mutants.
Wei Na said: "It is certain that there are definitely mutants active there, because some residents have discovered some abnormalities."
"What kind of abnormal situation?" Shen Yi asked.
Wei Na spread her hands: "For example, you hit someone while driving, but when you ran out of the car to see if that person was dead or alive, you found that the person had disappeared."
Lake also said: "In the past, we called this phenomenon a supernatural phenomenon, but now people are more willing to attribute it all to mutants."
"That's right!" The adventurers all laughed.
Shen Yi clapped his hands: "OK, since this is the case, let's go to that community to have a look. Luo Hao, you are in charge of keeping Nedinil and Jerry in charge. Let's act, and hope to have a good harvest. Remember, this time The action is to catch all those who are alive, and none of them are allowed to be killed."
"Why?" Wei Na exclaimed.
Shen Yi glared at her fiercely: "Do you want to question me again?"
Wei Na immediately shut up.
Eight kilometers is not far away, Shen Yi and the others quickly arrived at the destination.
It has to be said that Wei Na and the others are quite familiar with New York, and their ability to search for information is obviously stronger than that of other districts. It's just bad luck. First, five adventurers from the western region died yesterday, then Wei Na and others were preempted by Shen Yi, and today they were preempted by An Wen and others again, which led to every step of frustration. But after cooperating with Shen Yi, luck seems to favor these adventurers from the western region.
Sure enough, they soon discovered the traces of the mutants.
A total of seven mutants do not seem to belong to Magneto's mutant organization, but more like a spontaneous collection in a small area. Although it was more difficult to capture alive than to kill them, it only took some effort. In the end, Shen Yi and the others easily captured the seven mutants.
After catching these seven people, Shen Yi called the little boy Jerry over.
He said to Jerry: "I know you don't believe me, but I can tell you very clearly that now is the best chance to prove it. Now I have seven mutants in my hands. To be honest, I don't know if they are good or not." Evil, don’t you deserve to die. You can help me identify them. If you tell me they don’t deserve to die, I’ll let them all go.”
Little Jerry looked at Shen Yi in surprise: "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Shen Yi nodded seriously: "But you'd better remember one thing: Whenever you let me let go of a mutant who shouldn't be damned, you have to find at least two mutants who shouldn't be damned for me. mutants. Otherwise..."
Shen Yi said softly: "I don't want to lay hands on children, let alone innocent people, but you know that there are some things in this world that you won't do if you don't want to do them. If you dare to play me, I guarantee that whether it's you or others Mutants are bound to pay a higher price. Although I don't like to do that, I'm definitely not a fool who clings to principles and doesn't know how to adapt, so don't let my little bottom line be broken, okay?"
Little Jerry looked at Shen Yi tremblingly, he saw seriousness written on Shen Yi's face.
He nodded in fear, and then looked at the seven captured mutants.
After a moment, he said, "None of them deserve to die."
"Let them go." Shen Yi ordered in a deep voice.
"But..." Wei Na and the others yelled at the same time.
"Let them go!" Shen Yi repeated sharply.
"That's what we found and captured!" Wei Na yelled: "You can't let them all go because of a child's words, at least keep a few of them! We are only three points... no, four points of killing value is enough Can get out of the last corner! Four, will you leave us with four?"
Even though she knew why Shen Yi wanted to let him go, Wei Na still couldn't accept it emotionally. The west zone and the south zone have been bitten so close that adventurers in both zones are frantically hunting mutants. Wei Na couldn't wait to see the West Division become third, but the South Division continued to widen the gap.
Although there is still half the time before the race, it is a major psychological victory to be able to leave earlier.
"I said... Let go of them all!" Shen Yi repeated in a gloomy and cold tone.
Wei Na and the others looked at each other, while the three of An Wen not far away remained silent. Maybe they learned a lesson about the poison dart, they have already started to feel awed towards Shen Yi.
"Alright! Alright! It's all up to you!" Wei Na yelled helplessly.
People, let go.
Shen Yi looked back at Little Jerry: "Now you trust me?"
Jerry nodded apprehensively.
"So... you owe me 14 mutants. Either you take me to find them, or you lie to me and I kill them."
"You'll get them."
