Chapter 117: The National Mutant Humanization Project
Roddy said to Claire very seriously: "My baby, I suddenly realized that I had overlooked a very important issue, so this kind of...'friend' always appears around you."
Claire explained, a little awkwardly, "Tina was really just being kind."
"Claire, I don't care about such small things. What I really care about is you. You are too cautious in front of ordinary people, and even make people think you are cowardly. If you can show enough confidence, I will Think of your 'friend' who would not do this kind of thing for you on his own initiative. But you can never hide your ability for a lifetime."
Roddy's tone was very gentle, but everything he said pierced into the weakest part of Claire's heart.
"I just want to be normal. I can't let other people know that I'm a monster. If I let my parents know, they might think my birth was a mistake." Claire was held tightly in Roddy's arms, Can only speak in a low voice.
"My father-in-law already knew about it." Roddy almost couldn't help but want to tell Claire this fact. But this only made Claire more painful, so Roddy chose another topic.
"I can probably understand your concerns, but I still want to tell you. No matter how the ugly duckling hides, it is impossible to gain the approval of the duck in the end, because you will eventually become a swan, and the duck can only be a duck. Do you want to become a duck? Do ducks pluck all their feathers?"
Although Rody didn't think mutants were superior to others, he had to admit that this was the next stage of human evolution. This is a naturally existing class in the biological sense, and mutants have taken a step earlier on the evolutionary path than ordinary humans.
Claire has been living in the world of ordinary people and is used to hiding herself, so she can't understand Roddy's unscrupulous gesture. Although she didn't open her mouth to refute, it was clear that Roddy's persuasion had little effect.
"Claire, I'll take you to a place that may give you a different feeling." Luo Dinan was domineering once, and took Claire out of the restaurant.
When Tina regained her sanity, she was about to start cursing, but found that Natasha had long since disappeared. Looking back, Roddy and Claire had also disappeared. The more she thought about this weird scene, the more terrifying she felt, and she hurriedly left the restaurant.
Rody didn't bother to pay attention to Tina's little troubles, so he brought Claire to Shinra Company. The last time Claire came, Shinra Corporation was at its most critical time, so Claire didn't stay here for too long. This time, Roddy took Claire directly to the staff living area.
Just after entering the door, I saw a group of mutant children cheering. It turned out that they were watching a wonderful performance.
A huge panda is laying motionless on the ground, and a husky standing upright is standing on his back. What's even more funny is that there is a fat cat standing on Erha's head. And there's a hamster writhing over the cat's head.
Each successful backflip by the hamster produced squeals of joy from the children. They counted the numbers with great excitement. The performance seemed to have started for a long time, and they counted to more than fifty backflips.
"This...it's amazing!" Claire was also attracted by this special performance. It is simply a miracle that so many animals can cooperate with the stackable arhat.
"Have you seen the man with the scar on his face? His name is Arthur Blake. He has the ability to communicate with animals. The children like his performance the most." Roddy introduced Claire enthusiastically.
Claire looked at everything in front of her with bright eyes,
Discovering for the first time that powers aren't just troublesome, they can bring so much joy to other people.
When the little hamster completed a hundred backflips, the children cheered and burst into applause. At this time, Arthur Black also noticed Roddy's arrival, so he came up to greet him warmly.
Compared with the days when Stryker was used as an experimental product, life in Shinra is simply heaven. All of this was given by Roddy, so Arthur was very grateful in his heart.
The children also spotted Roddy, and a large group rushed over in a noisy manner. A few children even used their abilities when they were excited. Some bounced on Roddy's body from a distance of more than ten meters, and some stretched their arms like rubber, directly hugging Roddy's body...
Because Claire stood with Roddy, these mutant children also regarded them as "throwing" targets. Roddy and Claire are surrounded by a group of children, which feels like being in kindergarten.
"Okay, you little villains, I know what you want, hurry up and get the cup." Roddy said to the children with a smile. The kids would then scatter, only to reappear shortly afterwards with an assortment of cartoon cups.
Roddy asked the children to line up these cups one by one, rubbing their thumbs and forefingers lightly, and saw the crystal smoothies pouring down continuously. Smoothies filled glass after glass and were divided among the children.
Arthur has already brought out various flavors of jam, adding various colors to the children's "shaved ice" according to their tastes.
"Remember not to eat so much!" Roddy said with a straight face on purpose.
The children ran away happily when they got what they wanted, and some even made faces for Roddy on purpose.
"Are they all mutants?" Claire has never seen so many "similar" people. Watching these children show their talents without any scruples, it feels like the world is changing too fast.
Rody didn't explain, and introduced the members of Shinra to Claire one by one. The giant panda, which was lying on the ground as a cushion, stood up and turned into a tall middle-aged man. This is Feleg Rael, who has the ability to transform into animals, and is also one of the mutants that Rody rescued in Stryker's laboratory. Uncle Feleg is a devout believer and has always believed that Roddy is a messenger sent by God.
And when Rody introduced Claire to Uncle Feleg, the believer knelt down in front of Claire and prayed devoutly. This surprised Claire, and really couldn't figure out why this happened.
Claire could feel that most of the people here were very warm to her, even with a respectful attitude. This kind of respect is not because Claire is Roddy's girlfriend, but really comes from the heart.
Roddy explained to Claire: "You saved their lives, so they are very grateful to you." Roddy described his experience of rescuing these mutants from Stryker's laboratory in detail. Roddy didn't have the ability to copy Claire, and maybe only one in ten of these people could survive.
Claire looked at the fresh lives in front of her eyes, and felt for the first time that her abilities could benefit the world.
Seeing that Claire had been touched, Rody quickly said to her: "Since God has given you this talent, I think you should make good use of it. And let me handle the things you worry about. I promise that in the near future , even if everyone knows your abilities, they won't treat you as a monster."
At the same moment, Roddy also said to himself in his heart: "The plan to humanize all mutants needs to be accelerated."
