Chapter 69
On the second day of the New York trip, the sun was as warm as the first day, and everyone’s mood was average.
With sunglasses, as cold as ice and frost, SHIELD Level 7 agent Melinda May sits in the driver’s seat, and the steering wheel turns flexibly in her palms. This is New York, the metropolis, people coming People going are very prosperous. The area of this city is several times that of Gotham's and the population is more than 5 times.
But Cyber doesn’t envy the prosperity here. He has an instinctive resistance to this noisy environment, and it takes more than an hour to drive wherever they want to go today. Naturally, only The guide can lead the way.
The newly dressed Katherine sat next to Cyber. She appeared extremely active, which was in sharp contrast with Cyber, whose body was sunk in the seat.
"Cyber, Cyber, do you think they remember me?"
The seventh time the little girl asked Cyber the same question, the eyes under the youngster's sunglasses were twitched, took a Deep breath, with the left hand patted on top of Katherine's head,
"They must remember you, who would forget such a cute little girl?"
So Katherine sat down with satisfaction and sat down well. By his side, yes, today is the day to take her to her house. SHIELD's influence in New York is amazing, and it took a short time to find the current address of the Pryde couple.
Katherine Life Source Katherine.Anne.Pryde is a descendant of Jews. According to May’s data, Katherine’s life before the age of 8 was indeed very happy. It is the common state of the American middle class. Parents love her. It was almost the Little Princess at home, but after the awakening of abilities, the Pryde family moved three times within a year. Katherine's abilities brought almost endless trouble to Pryde's parents.
The reason aliens are called aliens is because they are different from ordinary people, and aliens are the easiest to be squeezed out and attacked. This is one of the original sins flowing in the human bloodline, even if the object is just a child.
What will happen to Katherine going home, Cyber doesn’t know, and he doesn’t want to guess. He has seen a lot of the dark side of human nature. Frankly speaking, he doesn’t want his guess to come true. But what's interesting is that along the way, Cyber discovered a little "secret" of Agent May as cold as ice and frost.
She is afraid of little children... To be precise, she is resisting contact with little girls like Katherine. Although she wears sunglasses, in Cyber's eyes, every time she sees Katherine in the rearview mirror, she The body will tremble.
"Interesting... Last time she didn't seem to have this problem."
Cyber touched his chin, and did not tell the result of his observation. First of all, this is private It is possible that some taboos will be involved. Secondly, at least for now, they are still a cooperative relationship.
Agent May also seemed to feel the gaze of Cyber’s observation, so she was very silent along the way, until 30 minutes later, the black Dodge stopped outside a small white villa in the suburbs of Brooklyn. When I got out of the car, Cyber looked at the villa in front of him. From the outside paved and well-kept garden, I could see the family's pursuit of the quality of life.
The little girl was very active along the way, but when she was really standing in front of the villa, she held Cyber's hand in fear, he looked at the youngster leaning on the car and whispered,
p>"Cyber, you accompany me, okay?"
Cyber heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he knelt down, took off his sunglasses, and looked at him crying Katherine,
"Are you scared?"
"No...I'm just...I'm just..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Cyber knocked on her little head,
"If you really don’t know how to face them, it’s better to "walk in" quietly and don’t be discovered by them. See how they are living now. If they remember you, you can meet them. If they forget, you will come out and we will go back to Gotham, okay?"
Little girl nervously She was a little speechless, Cyber's gently placed her hand on her shoulder and said to her,
"Come on, take a deep breath... breathe, breathe... is it better?"
" en! "
She was nodded hard, Cyber stretched out her fist,
"Don't be seen by them! We said it!"
Katherine also stretched out He made a fist, touched Cyber's fist lightly, and then ran behind him. In Mei's surprised eyes, it melted into the ground like magic.
Cyber puts on the sunglasses and stands up, Mei's voice also sounded at the same moment,
"This child...is also Mutant?"
"What did you say "
Cyber shrugged, "After spending a whole day with us, Miss Agent, you didn't notice this. It seems that you don't have the ability to detect Mutant."
" If the high level Mutant is unwilling to express his identity, the ordinary person cannot detect it unless it is detected with special equipment."
Mei’s voice became colder, and Cyber clearly felt the voice in her voice. A touch of indifference, it seems that Katherine is Mutant's news that makes her feel bad, which makes Cyber more and more interested in May's transformation, but before he asks it out, May takes the initiative to speak,
"This child this time will probably be disappointed."
"en?"
Cyber turned his head and looked towards her. At this point in time, there are almost no pedestrians in this block, so naturally No one noticed them.
"When I was looking for the Pryde couple's information yesterday, I found something interesting."
May took off her sunglasses, closed her eyes, and leaned against the car. She seems to be basking in the sun. Her voice is low and deep, but it is very clear into Cyber's ears.
"Katherine's loss is a problem that is difficult to tell clearly. I think you are also wondering if it is because of Katherine's. Abandon her deliberately because of her ability, but in fact, according to my analysis, this is unlikely to be true, not only because the Pryde couple have their own beliefs, they can’t do things like abandoning child, but more importantly, in After Katherine was lost, the Pryde couple who returned to New York once commissioned many people to find their daughter's trace."
"So sister, do you mean this couple are innocent?"
Cyber feels that the worries disappear in his heart, but at the same time, Cyber also has its own doubts about this statement.
"According to this, the Pryde couple should welcome Katherine's return. Why do you say that she will be disappointed? "
"hmph, I didn't say they were innocent."
Mei coldly snorted, "Even though they don’t have that thought, but with the carelessness of an 8-year-old girl at the station To the effect, it is very likely that a life will disappear. They are incompetent parents. Katherine is lucky to meet you. Personally, I actually hope this girl can return to her family. But unfortunately, this is already impossible."
Cyber did not speak, but his eyes were tightly placed on Mei, who was silent for a moment and said,
" They lost their memory."
"What?"
This answer stopped Cyber's thinking in an instant. A few seconds later, he jumped up from the spot and stood on Mei In front of me,
"Are you kidding me? Sister Agent!"
May disliked this name, she shook her hand, and there was an impatient voice in her voice, "I warn You, you give me a messy nickname, I will cut off your tongue, I am in a bad mood now!"
"Okay, okay!"
Cyber lift Starting to signal that he had surrendered, Mei finished the story.
"Although Katherine's disappeared, the Pryde couple has an inescapable responsibility, but they do love their daughter very much. After a year of searching for no news, the couple has reached the brink of collapse. Their neighbors reported to the police twice that they had tried to commit suicide in pain. If there were no accidents, they would have been overwhelmed by pain."
"So, there are still accidents, right?"
The Cyber interface asked May nodded, her eyes turned to the southeast,
"Just 3 months ago, when the Pryde couple was about to be overwhelmed by regret and pain They were visited by a mysterious person. In the afternoon, the Pryde couple, who had fully recovered their temperament, moved happily and moved here. They completely forgot all the information about their daughter, and stayed away from the source of pain. This month, Mrs. Pryde is pregnant, and this dying family will have a new life again."
"So I will say that you brought Katherine here at this time. It was actually a real mistake. "
This unexpected news made Cyber's fist clenched, and after a few minutes, he let it go. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,
"I was right My Little Brother said that the uncontrollable pain of losing a loved one will be entangled in the heart until it turns a person’s longing for the one he loves into toxins flowing in the blood. One day, he will hope for the one he loves. , Has never...existed, and only in this way can the pain entangled in fate disappear completely...It's ironic, actually someone did this..."
He gritted his teeth. Looked towards Mei again,
"But I am more curious, how did that mysterious person do it? Did he tamper with their memory?"
"Tamper? No, no, no, that's too low-level. He directly "erased" all the painful Pryde couple's memories of Katherine's."
Mei extends the hand and makes a wiping action in the air,
"It’s like you grind off the dirty water on a car window, leaving a blank space. He only needs to carefully replace the blank with happy memories to change two pitiful persons who want to commit suicide. Become a happy ordinary person, Cyber, you look so surprised...It seems that you still don’t know anything about the miracle that the bloodline flowing in your body will generate."
Level 7 agent sighed, sunglasses under There is a complex look in his eyes,
"I sometimes wonder why it’s the same as an ordinary person, but Mutant will derive so many terrifying abilities. Yes, it’s done. All this is a Mutant, and you will see him soon. "
"To be honest..."
Cyber swallowed saliva and said, "After hearing your description, I don't want to see this big guy who can modify memory at will, he Under full operation, will I become a silly X who can only drink porridge and runny nose for the rest of my life and then giggle? "
Mei held her shoulders, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"With your strength, Professor Charles only needs one-fifth of his You have become a real dementia, and you can’t avoid it, Cyber, when you came to New York this time, didn’t you just go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters to meet Professor Charles? "
"You don't really think that one of the bipolars of Mutant society is an ordinary person that you can beat with a fist casually, do you? Let me put it this way, Cyber, Professor Charles, as long as he wants, he stays in that Academy and can instantly kill anyone in any corner of the world... Whether the opponent is a civilian, a high-ranking official, a president, or... a servant Soldiers. "
Cyber's breathing became serious at this brief moment. He took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and held it on his mouth. After taking a few deep breaths, he was shrugged.
"According to you, isn't he indistinguishable from God? "
May glared at him. Belief is something you can’t talk about in American society, especially with unscrupulous language like Cyber, but she still abides by her duty as a guide. She brings her sunglasses back, yes. Cyber, a guy who almost knows nothing about Mutant society, said,
"Do you really think that ordinary persons reject Mutant just because you are "alien", right? It's easy to make a person hate something, but it's so difficult to make the entire human world fear something. Hitler was called a "demon", but there are still people worshiping him, but what about Mutant? Do you know how many people are kind to Mutant in the ordinary person? "
"The low number is far beyond your imagination. Let me tell you. If Cyber and Mutant are united, they already have the strength to threaten the current human civilization. This is an ordinary person. The biggest reason for being hostile to you is that they are afraid of you! That's why they reject you. "
Mei took a deep breath, she looked up towards the sky,
"Professor Charles and Magneto Erik, they once joined forces once, still when they are not fully capable of each other Next, that time, they put an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis with the power of two people. It was the two most powerful fleets in the world at that time, and the two people united... Then with no difficulty, they reversed the future. "
"Learn hard, Cyber, the reality of this world is much more exciting than you think. "
