Chapter 1879 Surprise (please vote for the monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)

Marx felt like he was dreaming. He had a fight with someone for no apparent reason and almost died. Then he suddenly became a supernatural being. He didn’t know what happened next. When he woke up again, he was locked up in a cell… well, the detention room of the police station. To be honest, he could have escaped from a cell of this level with his eyes closed. Unfortunately, he had something on his neck, which prevented him from using his abilities.

Ability suppression collar.

The work of Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards. Although he failed to completely crack the secret of mutants, he accidentally invented this special machine that can suppress the abilities of mutants. The principle… well, no one would understand it even if I told him.

In addition, Reed is, in a sense, a scientist who is even crazier than Tony. In order to study this thing, he actually used himself and his partner as experiments. It is said that he tortured them a lot during the experiment.

There are really not many people who are so cruel to themselves.

And after this tool was invented, it immediately caused a big uproar.

Reed is a difficult person to deal with. He is essentially a science and engineering man. He only vaguely understands many things, but he has a very stubborn temper. For example, he saw mutants committing crimes, so he wanted to invent a weapon that could target mutants. He believes that mutants should also be within the social order. At the same time, the government liked this idea and funded Reed.

This is the more naive side of Reed... He rarely considers the thoughts behind the sponsor. Anyway, for him, as long as you are willing to give him money for research, you are a good person... Even if he is cheated and falls, he will still be the same. Remembering to eat but not to be beaten is one of them.

So there is this thing.

But few people in this world are happy to be regulated and targeted, at least Americans don't like it.

American culture is like this. In terms of system, it is mainly federalism (the division of power between the federal government and local governments) and separation of powers (separation of legislation, administration, and judiciary, and checks and balances). The purpose of this system design is to limit government power and protect individuals. It is okay when encountering wars and natural disasters, but it is difficult for such a system to respond quickly when encountering public health issues such as epidemic prevention. The American system is extremely complex. Not only do the Chinese who are accustomed to great unification and centralization not understand it, but most Americans themselves do not understand it.

Culturally, it is mainly the simple/plain individualism of Americans, who advocate small government, do not want the state/government to interfere in personal affairs, and put personal rights and freedoms first.

Well... at least that's what they promote. This statement is actually not new. The image of the United States' external propaganda in the past few decades has been like this. They like to talk about the separation of powers and emphasize that the central government and local states are equal. Then the power of the federal government will be compressed and streamlined, and the power will be delegated to civil organizations and non-profit organizations, and it only needs to do basic public affairs and emergency crisis management. It does not bear unlimited responsibility and will not take care of everything. Citizens can curse the president and staff at will, and can protect their personal and residential safety with guns. They would rather believe in personal militias than the government, and vow to put government power in a cage. They also said that the US government departments are clean offices, hiding wealth among the people, and have no control over wealth. The budgets for various expenses must first be reviewed by the parliament and cannot be spent casually. Therefore, every budget is transparent and clean, and can withstand the review of third-party independent institutions, and there will be no bribery and corruption.

This kind of global propaganda of democracy and freedom is extremely effective. Since the birth of the "Washington Consensus", it has continued to influence for more than 30 years, and the core behind it is: the success of developed countries in Europe and the United States is because they embrace private ownership and the government does not intervene and control.

If it were five or six years ago, I believe that most people would be willing to believe this explanation. After all, the gap in strength between China and the United States is there, and facts speak louder than words. Even now, there are still many people who believe this, but they cannot delve into the truth of the "facts". It is easy to expose the truth if everyone thinks about it a little. For example, there is such a question on Zhihu: The US government is so small and so honest, and the taxes of Americans are so high, why is there a fiscal deficit?

Because the size of the US government has never been small, nor is it clean. The reason why taxes are high and the fiscal deficit is high is that the budget has been squandered reasonably and legally...

Why does every American hate being managed?

Answer: The vested interests do not want their interests to be damaged. How can they gain benefits if they are regulated? More people... They are actually regulated, but they just don't know it. They naively think they are free... but they are not.

But let's go back to the topic just now.

Mutants have always been oppressed, and now such weapons have been made to deal with them. They immediately exploded and thought that this was a prelude to the government's persecution of them!

So they protested... Of course, there are few mutants, and there is no organization to represent their interests. Naturally, it is impossible to protest with any gentle means, at least it is unlikely to protest in the streets or hold rallies.

So the means are inevitably a bit extreme.

Especially Reed and his partners, they have been attacked a lot.

In fact, this matter is easy to solve. The Fantastic Four are mutants!

Unfortunately, Reed didn't do much. He argued with the group of people. He felt that there were good people and bad people among mutants, and they couldn't be generalized. It was a very reasonable statement... But when it came to their own interests, who would reason with you?

As a result, the matter became more and more serious... The Fantastic Four's building was attacked.

In the end, the government personally negotiated with the mutants and stipulated that the government would not use such weapons on a large scale... Yes, this thing was defined as a weapon... The mutants stopped.

But in fact... Mutants are still too naive. If the government says not to use it, then it won't use it?

Damn, the Constitution also stipulates that the US government has no right to monitor citizens! Did the US government do less? International law also stipulates that it is not allowed to monitor the leaders of other countries! Did the United States do less? These assholes even monitor allies together!

There is no way. The mutants are scattered. They can unite because of excitement, but as long as they get a slightly better result, they will immediately become birds and beasts!

No one can really lead them.

Look, the special forces used it to lock up Marx.

Marx's first reaction when he saw this thing was fear... He was really scared. It's not that he was afraid of death. What's so scary about that thing? He would not know anything once he closed his eyes. Maybe he could still meet his mother, wife and children. After all, this world has proven that there is a God. Since there is a God, there must be a heaven!

The only thing to worry about is whether he can go to heaven.

He probably can't.

But compared with this world, hell shouldn't be much worse.

Marx felt his body and found that although his superpowers were restricted, the restraining power of this thing seemed not enough. He could use his superpowers, but it was more difficult, and the once active magnetic force became very weak in his perception.

He decided... to run!

Even if he died, he had to run!

Then a magical turn came.

A man and a woman came over accompanied by the police.

Then Marx was confused.

What?

My two children are still alive?

Right in front of me? ! !

Marx's first reaction was that he felt deceived, but he soon reacted. Damn, I'm the only one in the world who knows that I have twin daughters. Those who knew about it back then have either died or escaped. How can I leak it?

The second reaction... I found my children?

The meeting between the two sides was actually quite awkward.

Wanda and Pietro had a thousand words to say, but they didn't know where to start.

Max also had countless things to say, but he didn't know where to start.

The three of them stared at each other, and then the meeting time was up.

Only then did Wanda realize that the most important thing hadn't been said yet.

She told Max to stay here and they had found someone who could get him out of jail. Don't do anything stupid. If he escaped, he would be dead!

Kai could help, but he would never allow Max to live up to his kindness.

After all, Kai had to pay a favor to get Max out. Once Max failed him, it meant that Kai not only paid a favor in vain, but he also had to bear the consequences. If Max wasn't torn to pieces, it would be Kai's fault that he didn't eat enough that day!

Emma had emphasized this point to Wanda and Pietro. She was afraid that these two idiots would not be able to resist and run to jailbreak or something like that.

It's not that Emma looked down on them, it's just that their brains... His parents were killed in the explosion, and they hated Tony Stark for so many years. This kind of operation is enough to reflect the level of their brains.

So Emma deliberately said that the result was a little serious.

However, Emma still underestimated the seriousness of this matter. If Max really escaped, Kai would definitely tear him to pieces!

As mentioned above, Kai used so many political resources for his daughter to make this matter develop in the best direction. Marx gave him a blow, not only wasting resources, but also continuing to clean up Marx's ass... That was absolutely unacceptable to Kai.

Marx was dead!

After all, he and Marx didn't know each other, and he did this entirely for Emma.

After Wanda and Pietro left, Marx's mind was very confused.

He was both ecstatic and worried.

The two biggest wishes in his life were to kill Sebastian Shaw and avenge his mother. The second was to find his two children.

As a result, both wishes were inexplicably fulfilled, and he had nothing to do with him.

Sebastian was killed by the US government, and his children found their irresponsible father by themselves...

His ecstasy was easy to explain.

His worries were because he wanted to get along with the two children and make up for it. But the problem was that he had never thought about how to get along with the two children.

After all, although he had not stopped looking for them over the years, the most important reason was not really to find the children, but because he did not know what to do without a goal. And deep in his heart, he had long believed that the two children were dead.

The reason why he was still looking was more like a punishment or commemoration.

If he did not look for them, the two children might have disappeared completely. His search at least showed that there was still a trace of the two children in this world.

There were still people in this world thinking about them.

He was just numbly repeating those procedures mechanically, that's all.

So he never thought about what to do after the child was found!

He needed to think about it.

As for escaping... Even if he was driven away now, he would not leave.

So Max stayed in prison and pondered.

"So... what are we doing here?"

The members of Team X and Morgan took off their combat uniforms for the first time in a long time, and walked on the streets of New York in plain clothes.

"People can't always be tense, Morgan. How long have we not rested?" The black old man, Old Joe, walked on the street holding a cup of coffee.

Morgan glanced at Joe... The old man always said that he had rested enough, and he could rest forever after death. Now he actually said such words... He said everything, what could Morgan do?

But after looking at the team members looking around, Morgan stopped talking.

It's really sad to say.

None of these kids came from big cities.

Many people came to New York for the first time.

Especially Little Naughty, she is a typical small town girl. Before her ability exploded and she ran away from home, she had never seen New York at all... but she often saw it on TV.

Of course, among all people, the most conspicuous is the beast.

The beast is actually quite inferior. After all, his dignity... he himself feels scary.

He actually didn't want to come out, but it was too rude for him to be special in a group activity, and his good-natured personality couldn't refuse. So he came out with a stiff upper lip.

It turned out that... New Yorkers didn't care about him at all!

New Yorkers have long been trained. When you see these weirdos on the street, as long as they don't cause damage, you just need to be polite. Don't be a jerk!

After all, the experiences of these years have taught every New Yorker a profound lesson. Those weirdos are not easy to mess with. No one is bored and has to risk his life for excitement. Let others go shopping, the street is not your home, why do you care?

This made the beast feel a great sense of relief.

"What do you think, nerd? New York is special, isn't it?" Old Joe patted Beast's shoulder disrespectfully... To be honest, this action is really difficult. Beast is too strong. He is more than two meters tall and looks about the same as O'Neal. An old man has to tiptoe to pat his shoulder.

Nerd is the nickname that Old Joe gave to Philip McCoy. McCoy himself likes this name very much. After all, he is indeed a nerd. Before his ability awakened, he was a student at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). He is a typical nerd. Black-framed glasses, plaid shirts, jeans, and sneakers have always been his standard.

He himself is not interested in this. If possible, he would rather be a nerd than a beast.

"That's right, Hank, just come out and see more!" Little Naughty said generously.

Hank is the nickname that others give to Beast.

"No, no, no... No. Not every place is New York."

New York does make the beast feel comfortable, but not every city can be as open and inclusive as New York. In other places, he is still a monster!
