Li Jie's attitude towards mutants is a bit complicated, because mutants are not vampires, and they should not be the mortal enemies of human beings.

And in fact, there is no completely irreconcilable contradiction between normal people and mutants, especially Li Jie still remembers mentioning it in the plot he had watched before.

In fact, most people have the X gene in their bodies, but some people will not trigger this gene in their entire lives, but will hide it, making them an ordinary person all their lives.

But the X gene is inherited, which makes it very likely that mutant children will appear in their offspring.

There is a paradox here. If a guy who firmly opposes mutants is actually a mutant himself, but has not caused changes for the time being, then how should this person be counted?
What if one day he suddenly mutated himself?Or did his child suddenly become a mutant?Can he still insist on his belief that all mutants are evil?

Li Jie doesn't know what these people think, but the complexity of human nature cannot be explored at all.Even if there is an omniscient and omnipotent god in this world, I am afraid that he cannot truly understand the most complicated things in human nature.

For example, the mutant Hale I saw that day, he was mutated.He can't independently choose whether to mutate or not, he can only accept it passively.

But this undoubtedly troubled him more, even if he became a mutant, he still hated mutants, or hated this ability.

He cost Hale his job, his family, and ultimately his life.

Through the files of the police station, Li Jie knew that Hale had another child. He didn't know what would happen to the child in the future. Although his father did not intend to, he did kill someone.

I'm afraid that the crime of mutant murderer will always be carried on his father's body.

For unknown reasons, Li Jie came to this neighborhood with a box of Captain America toys. This is the edge of Queens, close to Brooklyn.

The houses here look old, but the community looks clean, which should be the reason why the residents here are not rich, but they are very self-disciplined.

Halle's home is here, a small one-story house, and Halle's children live here temporarily and are looked after by community volunteers for a few days.

After a period of time, after the formalities are completed, the child should be handed over to the orphanage, and the property will be taken back by the government because of the property tax arrears.

The gift that Li Jie brought was a box of high-end Captain America soldier dolls, worth more than 400 US dollars. Even when Hale was still working, he was reluctant to spend so much money to buy such high-end toys for his children.

When Li Jie knocked on the door of Hale's house, a kind-looking middle-aged woman opened the door. "Who are you?"

The woman did not know Li Jie. As a social worker in the community, she had met all the more than 200 residents in the community.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I've heard about Hale, but the child is innocent. I just came here to show some kindness." Li Jie pointed to the gift in his hand, explaining his intention.

"You are such a kind person." There was a touch of emotion in the middle-aged woman's tone. "No one has come to see poor little Cain since that incident with Halle."

"Hale is a kind person. He was originally a skilled car repairman. Even if he is really a mutant, I don't believe he would really kill people. There must be some misunderstanding." The middle-aged woman Someone opened the door and let Li Jie in.

"No one comes to see poor little Cain now. The child is innocent. It's not good for everyone to do so." Guided by the middle-aged woman, Li Jie came to Cain's room.

In fact, all the furnishings in this house are very simple, and it can be seen that the life of the two fathers and sons was not very good.

Only Cain's room looked a bit decorated, with yellow stars and moons printed on the blue wallpaper, which should have been a very cozy room.

But the owner of the room seemed very unhappy. Li Jie saw a thin little boy standing at the window of his room looking out.

According to the data, the little boy should be 13 years old, and he will be a 14-year-old boy by the end of this year.

But he looked much thinner than his peers, he looked only eleven or twelve years old, and his black hair drooped listlessly on his head.

There was none of the quickness and liveliness in the brown eyes that a child of this age should have.

He heard the sound of the door opening, and just stared blankly at Li Jie walking in, without any expression on his face.

"Honey, someone is here to see you." The middle-aged woman looked at Cain's appearance, and there was a feeling of distress in her tone.

"Are you also here to blame my father? You are also here to laugh at me! Am I the child of a murderer!" Cain's sudden rage came very suddenly.

This sudden outburst startled Li Jie and the middle-aged woman.

Li Jie is relatively tall, he quickly walked up to Kain and squatted down to talk to Kain from an eye-level angle.

"Your father wasn't a murderer, I promise. He didn't mean to do it. Believe me, I was there."

Li Jie put his hands on Kain's shoulders as he spoke, and a small amount of Zhongzheng and peaceful inner energy was operating in Kain's body. Since the last battle of the Hand, Li Jie found that his inner energy has the effect of calming the mood. .

The inner qi circulated in Kain's body, and it took a while for him to look better, without that frightening anger.

He even distorted his facial features just now, this kind of emotion is not conducive to the child's growth.

"Your father is a good man. He didn't want to hurt anyone. He just wanted to buy toys for you. He didn't want to hurt anyone." Li Jie looked at Kain calmed down before continuing.

"Then why did the police shoot him!" Cain didn't seem to understand Hale's death, he thought it was the police who shot his father, tears rolled in his eyes.

"Everything is an accident Cain, everything is an accident." Li Jie explained that he felt sorry for the little boy.

"Your father hurt other people unintentionally. He felt guilty, even if it was an accident. But he chose to take responsibility for his mistakes."

"It's a toy your father bought for you, see. He paid for it, but it's a pity he didn't get the chance to give it to you himself."

"But I was there, and I brought it for you, and now I'm giving it to you. It's a box of Captain America soldiers, and I think it must be because your father wanted you to be as strong as Captain America. "

After saying this, Li Jie took out the box of high-end toys he bought and handed it to Cain.

"Do you like Captain America?" Cain nodded.

"So can you follow your idol as an example? Be strong and optimistic, and you will not be defeated even in the face of setbacks and difficulties."

"Captain Steve Rogers and his team were stuck in the snow for a week without food or water, but they persevered and finally beat the assholes."

"Can you be as strong as Captain America?" Li Jie looked at Cain and asked.

Cain nodded, "My grandfather was also a soldier back then. He said that he once fought side by side with Captain America, and they broke through Sweden's bomb lair together."

"Then you should have the blood of a hero. You should learn from your grandfather. He must have encountered many difficulties in the war."

"Kain, your life is temporarily difficult, but everything will be fine, promise me to be a hero in your life?" Li Jie talked with Kain in an equal manner.

"Like Spider-Man?" Cain finally showed a smile.

"Yes, like Spider-Man." Li Jie made a high-five gesture, and Cain stretched out his small palm to pat Li Jie.

When Li Jie and Kain were about to leave after chatting for a while, Kain stopped him.

"Thank you Jason, although I know you are lying to me, my dad can't afford such an expensive toy, but I am still very grateful to you, so that I can invite Ruhr to play together next time."

Li Jie smiled and was not embarrassed by the lie being exposed, but asked with a smile. "Is Ruhr your partner?"

"Yes, his grandfather and my grandfather were comrades in arms, and they both kicked the ****'s ass very hard." Cain made a kicking motion, which made Li Jie laugh.

"So you can go to Ruhr's house to play next time?"

"Maybe we will go to the same orphanage. Ruhr's father also passed away when he went to other places a few days ago." Cain's words were a bit sad.

"Because he also mutated into a mutant in the past two years, but he could control his own abilities, so he still had a job, but this time he went out on a business trip and his mutant abilities went berserk, and he was shot dead by the police."

But this sentence made Li Jie's heart skip a beat. He seemed to have grasped something, but he didn't seem to understand it very well.

One day after he left Kain's house, all the formalities about Kain had been completed, and he would be transferred to the orphanage for upbringing.

When the nuns in the orphanage were about to take Cain away, Cain stopped suddenly and told the nuns that he still had an important toy, so the nuns had to let him go home and get it first.

Cain came to the garage behind the house. There is a basement here, which is used for storing sundries at home. He climbed down the stairs skillfully.

He found what he was looking for in the box in the corner, which was tightly wrapped in black cloth.Cain opened the black cloth and took it out after checking that everything was intact.

From the exposed part of the black cloth, it can be seen that this is a green demon mask with metallic luster. Cain smiled while holding the mask, and then wrapped it up again.

As the nuns leave the home where they have lived for more than ten years, Cain will also start his new life.

And in the Nightcrawler's base, Li Jie was asking the hacker Zeng Chu to find something in his own way.

Maybe all of this is speculation, maybe I just think too much.
