The years of being a superhero in Marvel

Chapter 174 Silver Necklace
The blackout in New York also affected the Xavier Gifted School. When Li Jie followed Katie to visit the school, the power outage happened suddenly.

However, this did not cause everyone to pay too much attention to it. They just thought it was an ordinary power outage.

Although New York experienced a major power outage in 1972, the transformation of the power grid over the years has made it rare to experience power outages.

However, occasional sudden power grid outages in some areas still occur occasionally, and this has not aroused anyone's vigilance. No one knows the scope of the power outage and the huge losses caused.

When the school's backup power supply was switched on, Li Jie also forgot about the power outage.

This open day was indeed as Katie said, not many other people attended.

Only about 60.00% of the students invited their family and friends to visit the school.

And excluding parents who are also mutants, the number of normal unmutated people is actually very small.

The significance of the school open day set up by Professor X is actually not difficult to understand. He just wanted to use this opportunity to show that mutants and ordinary people can get along well.

To be honest, this is a method, and it is very stable, so that everyone can see that mutants are controllable, and the quality of people is not divided by whether they are mutants or not.

But the disadvantage of this method is also obvious, that is, the effect is too slow, how many people can visit each time?One hundred or two hundred?
Li Jie has doubts about this kind of efficiency, but the issue of mutants is a landmine in society, and whoever touches it will die.

Li Jie wasn't going to touch this mine either, at least not for the time being, or he wouldn't be able to help the mutants at that time, but put himself in it instead.

"Professor, do you think that your method will be of great help to improve the relationship between mutants and humans?" This is a dinner held by the school, and Professor X is at his own expense.It is used to entertain family and friends who come to visit the school.

The dinner was in the form of a buffet, and the dishes were not expensive, but it was obvious that he put his heart into it. Li Jie ran into Professor X again when he was picking up the dishes, so he had doubts.

"What do you think?" Professor X didn't answer Li Jie's question directly, but threw the question back to Li Jie.

"Maybe it's useful, but it's not easy to integrate mutants into the lives of ordinary people just like this. Not every ordinary person will come to the school to visit and understand your approach." Li Jie expressed his thoughts come out.

"Maybe you should be more proactive. I know that many mutants have special abilities. Why don't you use their abilities to help others?"

The recent smooth sailing has made Li Jie a little arrogant and inflated. He forgot that the old man in front of him is also a wise man.

And to put it bluntly, Professor X is much smarter than Li Jie, if he doesn't do this then there must be his reasons.

"Your idea is very good." Professor X did not directly refute Li Jie's point of view, but first affirmed Li Jie's idea, because Charles Xavier can really see that Li Jie is sincerely willing to integrate mutants into society There are not many people who talk to him like this now.

"But how do mutants help others?"

"Like the street heroes in New York City these days, they go out and help other people, and I can tell you, I publish their comics. Other people will recognize what they're doing."

"Under the subtle influence of comics or movies or even more entertainment carriers, it is not impossible for mutants to be accepted by others, are you right?" Li Jie has been wondering, he has been in this world for so long and has never heard of the X-War police.

Either the X-Men are hidden too deep for ordinary people to know, or the X-Men never existed. This question has always been on his mind.

"Mutants are different from those street heroes." Professor X still talked to Li Jie patiently. "Street heroes may gain power for a variety of reasons, whether it's consistent training, or using a clever brain to develop a suit of armor."

"It's even a mutation caused by some special reasons. But they all have a characteristic, most of his experiences cannot be replicated."

"They are all independent individuals. What they do represents only individuals, or a small group. People are more likely to accept them."

"But mutants are different. This is a huge and complex group." Professor X's long conversation with Li Jie caught the attention of several of his students.

Including Cyclops Scott, as well as Qin Grey and Storm, they all turned their eyes to this side. Cyclops was a little curious to know what the two were talking about, but he was stopped by Qin Grey before he approached. , Qin motioned for the professor to talk quietly first.

"There are actually a lot of mutants in this society, and the government is not unaware of it." Professor X looked around the hall where the banquet was being held.

"Actually, there are very few mutants in my school, and there are more mutants who don't want to enter this school. They are self-repelling."

"If, as you said, the mutants gather together as one force and use their power to do good things, maybe some people will be happy, but some people will not be happy because this power is not in their hands."

What Charles said was very cryptic, but Li Jie knew what he was referring to, and his thoughts just now were a bit wishful thinking.

Mutants are a force, he knows Professor X knows it too, don't those ambitious people know it?Don't underestimate the smart people in this world.

There are always more people with high IQ in this world than you can imagine. What if the power of mutants is completely used by the government?
Or what if it is used by some unspeakable secret figures and careerists in the government?
Can Charles really go to form the X-Men to avoid the government's entanglement?As said before, mutants are not street heroes, they are not a single individual, but a complete group.

Although I don't want to say that, some people artificially split mutants and normal people into two different groups, and even caused ideological opposition because of this split.

In other words, in the eyes of a group of people in the government department, it is best for the mutants to be in such a state of disunity, if there is really someone who has gained great prestige among the mutants and normal people.

So will the rights in the hands of some people be divided?Even said to lose the hotbed of their right to survive?

Li Jie shook his head. "There are always people who are on the road of constant death and create new heights." His tone was a little clear, but also a little helpless.

Professor X's words finally made him understand where the trouble lies, and I'm afraid the crux is not limited to this one.Charles looked at Li Jie with a smile, and he was very happy that Li Jie could understand what he said.

But I am also very helpless, unless I really decide to carry out a violent coup d'état like my old friend, otherwise I will use this time-consuming and laborious method to change the living environment of mutants.

Near Flushing, Queens, the villa of MARVEL company.

Thor was cleaning the toilet in the women's bathroom feebly. He made an announcement in the name of Odin, which was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life.

No one has ever dared to let the God of Thunder do such a thing, cleaning the toilet for a woman!If word of this ever reaches Asgard, Thor's reputation will be tainted.

He would be the object of everyone's teasing, and Thor was furious at the thought, but he couldn't resist now, he was only mortal for now.Moreover, the mana that Odin still blessed him made him unable to refuse Loki's order.

Well, as soon as he thought of Loki, this nasty little brother appeared in front of him.

Loki has not been sealed by Odin. Although some spiritual magic cannot be used, this does not affect his use of other spells.

He flashed in front of Thor, watching Thor struggling to clean the toilet, using detergent to foam up the toilet.

Loki leaned against the wall leisurely, whistling. It was an Asgard tune, after Thor defeated the god of plague on a certain planet last time, and rescued the people of the entire planet from the plague. A song in praise of Thor composed by the elves.

Well, Loki just added fuel to the fire by doing this, and Thor's fists clenched tightly. "Can you shut your mouth Loki!"

"My dear brother, this is your hymn." Loki said with an innocent expression. "I remember you liked it when you were in Asgard."

"Yes, but I also like it when I'm not cleaning the damn toilet!" Thor was a little angry. "You actually helped a mortal to tease me, just wait, Loki, I will find an opportunity to teach you a lesson."

"Well, I was actually here to see if the great Thor is interested in temporarily stopping his work and joining me for a short expedition in the atrium." Loki spread his hands, revealing a ring in the palm of his hand .

"This is a ring with the breath of the Asgardian god. Although it is very faint, it looks like it has passed through thousands of years."

The thing in Loki's hand caught Thor's attention, but he still said with some disdain. "It's just an ordinary silver ring, maybe some god forgot to take it when he came down."

"Maybe, this god is a little careless, and he left too many things." Loki also had a small silver piece in his hand, which looked like a piece of jewelry.

"The last time the gods of Asgard came to the atrium other than us was nearly 1000 years ago. There are only two reasons why this god's breath has not dissipated after 1000 years." Loki stretched out two fingers.

"Either he is unbelievably powerful, just like the heavenly father Odin, or he has been stranded in the atrium and never returned to Asgard, maybe he is a fugitive from Asgard." Thor said these two things on behalf of Loki. reason.

Although Thor is very impulsive and uses violence to solve problems more than brains, this does not mean that Thor's IQ must be negative.

"So what do you want Loki?" Thor dropped the tool for washing the toilet.

"Search for the god, of course. If he's gone, then maybe there's his treasure in the Atrium. If he's still there we should find out who he is. Maybe telling Odin this message will save you from mortal servitude, Return to Asgard as soon as possible." Loki knows Thor too well, if he wants to persuade Thor to do certain things with him, then he must first let Thor know what these things are.

Especially if it's good for Thor, whether it's gaining fame, or finding treasure, or returning to Asgard.

Loki doesn't care about Thor's re-education plan, what does Thor's humility matter to him if he learns or not?He voluntarily descended to become Thor's guardian, but accompanied him to do coolies here.

While there was a sense of exhilaration in humiliating Thor, Loki came down to have fun.The purpose of staying away from Asgard's Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother is to take a break and play freely in the atrium.

For example, it is a very interesting thing to find a disappearing god. As for whether this matter will offend Odin?Come on, isn't there another Thor here?The God of Thunder can withstand Odin's Thunder Fury.

In the mortuary room of a hospital in New York, the body of Max, who had been electrocuted into coke, was lying on the mortuary table.

Although the cause of death has been clarified, the procedure still needs to be followed. This time, the blackout caused by him caused three hours of no power supply in the Greater New York area.

Fortunately, the Stark Group and the Osborne Group responded quickly, and first restored the power of important public departments, so that the chaos in New York did not continue.

"This guy looks really unlucky." The police coroner said to his assistant, because Max was so electric that he couldn't see his appearance, and he had completely become a pile of coke in human form.

"Yeah, even all the clothes were burnt, but what is shining on his neck?" The assistant carefully found that there was still light on Max's body.

He carefully touched what was covered by charred smudges, it looked like a silver necklace.This is so strange, logically, the melting point of silver is not very high.

It should have been fused long ago under the powerful electric current, but this necklace still maintains its complete form.

The assistant wanted to take the necklace off when it was just taken off Max's neck.

A black arm held the assistant's arm, and Max, who was supposed to be dead, sat up. "This is my necklace, do you want to take it too!"
