A few years ago, the mutants established their own city on the island of Utopia deep in the Pacific Ocean.A lot of mutants from all over the world went there, and the famous Xavier Gifted Junior Academy moved to Utopia Island, but the academy here in New York wasn't shut down either.It continues to exist as a branch campus on the North American continent.After all, not all mutant children are hated by their fathers, and many parents will choose to accept their children's special abilities.Those who are lucky enough will be sent to Xavier Talented Junior Academy for their studies.After they learn to control their abilities, they are taken back home to continue living with their families.This branch in Queens, New York, is reserved for this reason.In the past few years, because the moderate mutants led by Professor Charles have almost unified the differences within the mutants, the contact between mutants and human society has also become frequent and gradual.Under the official propaganda, many ordinary people who have opinions about mutants have also begun to accept the existence of other special humans in this world.But the resistance to mutants has never gone away, they have only chosen to hide under pressure.Even within human society, the mutual hatred between different races and civilizations cannot be eliminated, not to mention that the difference between mutants and ordinary people is much greater than the difference in appearance and doctrine.But if it continues to develop in its current form, the day when mutants will finally integrate into human society and become a special race in human civilization will not be too far away.The taxi stopped at the door of Xavier's Talent Academy, and the clown dragged a box full of performance props out of the car with difficulty, and he took out a few crumpled pieces of money from his pocket and handed them to Dupende.As the clown watched the taxi leave, he couldn't help but pluck his ears with his little thumb, and a strange expression appeared on his paint-covered face, he said, "The music of the South Asian subcontinent is so cheerful...
It's just a bit noisy. ”"Well, no matter, let's get to work."
He patted his face, trying to soften his expression.He dragged the box to the black door of the mutant academy, and instead of ringing the doorbell, he took some fireworks out of the box next to him and placed them on the ground.A moment later, beautiful fireworks burst into beautiful fireworks in the air on the lawn at the entrance of the academy, and those sharp sounds also attracted the children who were playing in the academy.Then the clown began his own show.As he did in the square of the Hero Society's headquarters, he danced a funny dance, wincing at the children on the other side of the black gate, and handing them the balloons in his hand.The clown's performance was brilliant and made the kids laugh out loud as they screamed and made a noise as the clown performed trick after trick.This scene quickly caught the attention of Auroro, the mutant teacher on duty today at Xavier Academy, and Storm Girl walked out of her office, watching the scene from afar.With the gate in the way, the clown can't get in touch with the children.But even so, Auroro felt something odd about the clown who suddenly appeared.She rode the wind to the gate, and under the sad gaze of the children, she said a few words to the clown and persuaded him to leave."
Okay, okay, I just like kids."
The clown, dissuaded by Auroro, put his props back in the box in a bit of a huff, dragged the box, and walked farther away from the door in a dejected manner.From time to time, he looked back and waved at the children, as if to say goodbye.He grabbed the colorful cane he had decorated in his hand and swaggered away.This little thing didn't make Storm Girl pay much attention, she still had to teach the children a lesson.But ten minutes later, the clown sneaked up on the side of the road not far from the academy, took out a flute from his pocket, waved it in his finger a few times, and put it to his mouth.A terrible flute sounded bad.He kept blowing, as if he was deliberately disturbing the people.A few minutes later, several children jumped from the wall of Xavier's Talented Junior Academy.For mutant children, such a wall is only a symbolic obstacle, and there are too many ways for them to easily overcome it.Attracted by the sound of the flute, the children followed the clown with blank eyes and soon entered a car parked on the side of the road.The clown started the car, he glanced at the school in the distance, he had a strange expression on his face, then twisted the steering wheel and drove into another road.——————————— "snapped" in a dark room, and the clown slapped the unconscious man in the face, who was woken up, and then stared blankly in front of him, he wanted to scream.But the next moment, the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his forehead.He was so frightened that he could only shudder and shut his mouth.And beside this man, there are several ordinary people who have been tied up, and they are all randomly caught by clowns on the road.There is no goal, there is no choice, when you encounter it, you knock it out and throw it in the car.In the dimly lit room, the clown brandished his revolver, and he pretended to say to the unlucky guys in front of him, "Hello friends, you're lucky to have been selected for my game." ”He grabbed something from the table and tossed it up and down in his hand, it was like a firecracker tied together, and on top of the thing that was trapped together, there was a number that kept jumping.This classic look...
Time bomb."
Look!"
The clown put the thing in front of everyone's eyes, and he said, "It's a bundle of bombs, and from the look in your eyes, I'm sure you all know what this thing does, that's great." ”"Listen to me, you have 10 minutes to make a tough choice."
He fixed the bomb to the pillar of the room, and then took out several pigeon-egg-sized objects from his pockets, forced the kidnappers to eat them, and swallowed the cold thing into their stomachs.Finally, he took out a remote control-like gadget from his pocket and said to the frantically struggling people in front of him, "What I just fed you, it's some cute little things, they don't tick, but once time goes to zero, they will...
Bang!
”The clown made an explosive gesture, waving the remote control in his hand and saying, "This is the only thing that can keep you alive, but the problem is that the moment you press this thing, the explosives I put elsewhere will also be detonated immediately." ”"What's over there?
A couple of cute kids, yes, a couple of obedient mutant kids. ”The clown sadly placed the remote control in his hand on the table that was still some distance away from the four people, and he said to them, "So now the problem is very simple. ”"If you want to live, the children must die...""
Of course, you can also choose to let yourself live, after all, the desire to survive, right, everyone has..."
He walked to the door, and in the sunlight, he turned around, waved maliciously at the screaming people in the house, and then raised his wrist and made a gesture to look at the time: "Tick tock, time is ticking." ”"Game, let's go!"
After leaving the room, the clown stood on the side of the street, smoking a cigarette, and counting the time as the smoke billowed.He took a cell phone out of his pocket, pressed a string of phone numbers, and when the phone was connected, he shouted to the other end of the phone in a pretentiously panicked voice: "Oh my God!
I just saw a madman grab a couple of kids in the car, and they're wearing your school clothes!
Come on!
Save them!
”"The address is at XX Road, Queens, and I saw them run in with my own eyes!"
With that, the clown hung up the phone, then broke the phone in the middle and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.He looked left and right, then ran towards a nearby residential building, finding a good spot to observe the two rooms where he was holding human and mutant children.The clown licked his lips, rubbed his hands together, and clenched the cane in his hand.He's leaving New York.Before leaving, it was his last game in the city.On the other side, Ororo, the storm girl who was in a hurry because of the sudden disappearance of several children, received the news of the children's danger from the phone, and she immediately changed into a combat uniform.At the same time, a message was sent to the other X-Men.Luckily, the location on the phone wasn't far from the Mutant Academy.Storm Girl harnessed the wind and hurried to that position, but she felt remorse and anxiety in her heart, no one would dare to do such a thing to mutant children in New York while Professor X was there.With the professor's psychic power, the moment someone approaches the school with malice, they will be immediately discovered.But now, the professor is gone.The news was tightly sealed, but judging by the actions of the unknown thug, it was clear that the secret had been leaked.A few minutes later, in the midst of a howling storm, Auroro, dressed in black robes and with wings, landed in front of the address, and with a wave of her hand, the sharp blade of the wind smashed through the door of the house.Splashed with debris, Storm Girl storms into the room, but finds the missing mutant children, replaced by a few ordinary people tied up in the house.There were men and women, and they looked terrified.On the table in front of Storm Girl's eyes, there were less than 5 seconds left for the bundle of bombs.“！！！”
Storm Girl's eyes widened, she jerked up her hands, and in the howling wind, a pillar of wind blasted through the roof of the house, rolling the bundle of explosives into the sky.A moment later, high in the sky, a brilliant flame burst out like a giant firework.A few blocks away, Cloak, who had just finished eating with Dagger, looked up at the place where the flames had exploded, glanced at the dagger beside him, and then disappeared in place in the midst of the darkness."
Phew" Auroro breathed a sigh of relief, and she reached out and threw out a few wind blades, slicing through the rope that bound the hapless ones.But the strange thing is that they did not flee in panic after getting out of trouble, but froze in place, you look at me, I look at you.They seemed to be hesitating, or rather, discussing something with their eyes."
Have you seen any children?"
Storm Girl asked, "A couple of mutant children, did you see them?"
”"No, there isn't."
A woman subconsciously shook her head, but she stroked her stomach and didn't dare to look into the Storm Girl's eyes.This made Auroro aware of this, and she stepped forward and said to the woman, "You've seen them, haven't you?"
Tell me, where are the children?
They are in danger!
”"I...
The woman didn't know how to respond to Auroro's inquiry, she could only look at the other people as if asking for help, and the others were silent and silent."
What the hell are you guys doing?"
The Storm Maiden frowned and asked, "Have you seen my children?"
”"I'm sorry!"
Behind Auroro, a young man screamed in a mournful voice before pounced on the table."
But I don't want to die!!"
The moment Storm Girl turned around, he saw the man pounce on the table, clasp something tightly, and press a switch.A loud "boom" sounded in the garage of a house across the street, like a pillar of fire that had been ignited on the ground, everything was torn apart, everything was blown to pieces.The Storm Girl's expression froze at this moment.Hundreds of meters away, on the roof of a residential building, the clown with a cane put down the telescope in his hand, and his face covered with oil paint and scars looked extremely calm at this moment.It's as if everything was as he expected, and everything was supposed to be the way it should be."
Look!
This is what you call human nature. ”"This reaffirms my view of you, that you are only good when you are safe...
Isn't your insistence such a pathetic, fragile, and one-touch thing that collapses at the touch of a button?
”His fingers flicked on the cane, and an orange light burst out of his palm, and he yawned and said, "What a job without surprises, what a boring job." ”"Let's move on to the next stage
