Beauty Man: All Heavens and Immortals

Chapter 26 Make a decisive decision (recommended for collection!)
The world of comics.

Greenwich Village, West Side, New York.

In a dark narrow alley.

Owen regained his consciousness, and he saw Anna staring blankly at his hands with blank eyes, the three black brothers and Duke Jones who had passed out from the pain because of practicing magical skills, and Susan, who fell limp to the ground and urinated in fright, Everything was frozen at the moment he left.

"Whoa, whoa..."

Owen was shaken all over, felt the exhausted body from the oil sucked by Anna, heard Susan's soft sobs, and time resumed the passage of time.

A feeling of extreme heart palpitations hit his heart. Owen keenly sensed that this was a sign of dying, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Could it be that I am going to die when I come back from time travel? No, I am not reconciled!"

With the roar in his heart, in the sea of ​​stars in his consciousness, the star that was completely lit up because it passed through the Xiuchun knife suddenly burst into starlight, and Owen immediately felt a mysterious force entering his body. , In a few breaths, the body that had been drained of vitality and exhausted, recovered again.

"Ah..." Owen moaned comfortably, and then stood up from the ground with fixed eyes.

Anna heard Owen's voice, looked over, saw Owen gently patted the dust on his body, as if he was okay, immediately rushed over in surprise, and shouted: "Owen, you are okay, you are really okay, it's not me The reason is not my reason..."

"Stop!" Owen dodged sideways, not daring to let Anna touch him again. When he caught sight of Susan who was secretly looking at them, his brows frowned, and his mental strength moved, Susan immediately passed out.

Anna's face turned pale, and she stopped her steps obediently. She lowered her hands and looked at Owen who was avoiding snakes and scorpions. She felt her heart was broken and said in a trembling voice, "Owen, what's going on here?"

Owen looked around, pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "Anna, now is not the time to talk about this, we need to leave here immediately, do you believe me?"

Anna nodded again and again, "Of course I believe you!"

"En!" Owen responded, walked to Duke, found a car key and wallet from his pocket, took out the dollar bills inside, and found the three black brothers and Susan in turn. All the dollar bills on his body were in his pockets, and he looked at Anna and said.

"Come with me, we said in the car."

"it is good……"

Owen adjusted his clothes, walked out of the narrow alley first, and came to the place where Duke parked not far away, opened the car door with the key, and got in.

European and American high school students have basically obtained a driver's license. A driver's license is equivalent to an ID card. Many people go to school by car. Naturally, Owen will not be like his previous life. He didn't take the driver's license until after graduating from university and working for several years. , but did not touch the car a few times until the crossing.

"Get in the car, you sit in the back row!" Owen greeted.

"..." Anna was silent, and according to Owen's assignment, opened the back door of the car and got in.

Owen skillfully ignited the ignition, put it in gear, and with a bang of the accelerator, he drove Duke's second-hand Ford out of the parking space and headed north of New York.

Anna sat in the back row without saying a word. She glanced at Owen from time to time, full of indescribable complexity. She hesitated to speak for a few times. After a long time, she finally whispered: "Owen, where are we going?"

Owen looked at Anna from the rearview mirror, and saw her pale face, blank eyes, and slightly sighed: "Anna, do you know about mutants?"

Anna stretched out her hands, looked at it, and choked up, "Could it be, am I a mutant?"

Hearing Anna's cry, Owen immediately understood that Anna knew about mutants and their difficult situation, so he cried worriedly.

Owen didn't stop her, and let her weep for a long time, driving the car in silence, and drove out of New York at a high speed.

After a long time, Anna wiped away her tears, looked up at Owen's profile, and sobbed, "Owen, are you a mutant too?"

Owen nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid it is."

To be honest, he has mixed feelings about his identity as a mutant.

On the one hand, as an ordinary person in his previous life, he was very yearning for those incredible superpowers in American comic blockbusters. He often imagined that if he could choose one day, which kind of superpower would be the coolest and most awesome. , Now that this dream has come true, he is naturally happy, and if he does not have the ability to awaken mutants, he may only be bullied by others without any power to fight back. This is simply unscientific and does not conform to the law of time traveler...

On the other hand, only after living for 16 years in this life can I feel the discrimination and danger that mutants are subjected to, how intense it is. This sense of crisis no longer only stays in movies, but is real. Yes, this caused Owen to run away when he found out that he was a mutant.

It's not that he is cowardly, but that he is arrogant and domineering like Magneto, and most of the time he can only hide in the secret base, because once he shows up, he will be attacked by the US emperor. Among them, the secret establishment headed by Colonel William Stryker The department is dedicated to dealing with, arresting, and researching mutants.

And once it falls into the hands of Colonel Stryker, with his crazily hostile mutant personality, the greatest possibility is to be injected with tranquilizers and placed on the test bench, where blood can be drawn, injected with various drugs for testing, or even disemboweled directly. Belly……

Why did the White Queen, Red Devil and others who were famous and famous in the generation of Professor X back then disappear?Didn't it fall into the hands of Colonel Stryker and become the material for studying the sentinel robot.

Owen has just awakened the ability of mutants, and he is not yet proficient. It is no problem to deal with ordinary people, but it is very dangerous to deal with the tactical team that specializes in arresting mutants. If one is not good, it will fall into their hands, so in After trying to use mental power to modify the memories of Susan and the others to no avail, he had no choice but to run away, to a relatively safe place.

Anna choked and said, "Are we really monsters? Just now I felt that I absorbed something from you and almost killed you. I'm sorry."

Owen shuddered, but recalled the scene where Anna held his hand and almost sucked him dry in a few breaths, and couldn't help shivering. Seeing this, Anna felt even more heartbroken.

Owen suppressed the fear in his heart, and comforted him: "Of course we are not monsters, and mutants are also human beings, it's just that God favors them with extraordinary talents."

Anna cried: "Then why are there reports all the time about how cruel mutants are and how they harm humans?"

Owen sneered and said: "This is the inferiority of human beings. As soon as mutants awaken, they have incredible superpowers, but the vast majority of human beings do not. Under envy, jealousy and hatred, they naturally desperately slander mutants, and even want to eliminate mutants. People, the current society is still dominated by human beings, and public opinion is naturally biased towards human beings. In addition, the awakening of mutants is usually in the teenage stage, and their emotions are unstable. Many of them awakened after being stimulated like us. , cannot be well controlled, causing certain harm..."

"As for your mutant ability, I guess that it absorbs other people's vitality and superpowers through skin contact, allowing you to temporarily possess other people's superpowers."

Anna was taken aback, and murmured: "Absorb vitality..."

Owen's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively, "Anna, how did you feel when you touched me just now?"

Anna recalled for a moment, and said: "I feel a magical power coming from you, making, making me feel very comfortable..."

Owen reminded: "This should be my vitality, what else?"

Anna's face turned pale, and she hesitated: "Also, without using eyes, I seem to be able to see things around me, and even feel that I can control other people..."

Owen asked: "That's all, is there anything else that comes to mind? Does this feeling still exist now?"

Anna closed her eyes and felt something, then shook her head and said, "That's all, and now this feeling has disappeared."

Owen breathed a sigh of relief, and thought: "It seems that the sea of ​​stars in my consciousness may not be a pure mutant ability of the spiritual system, maybe that is my golden finger."

With a bit of confidence in his heart, Owen felt a lot better. He smiled slightly and said, "Anna, you must know what happened to the mutants. We have awakened now, and we will definitely not be tolerated in society. Now I can only take you Go to a relatively safe place to take refuge."

Anna nodded and asked, "What's that place?"

The corner of Owen's mouth curled up: "It should be regarded as a paradise for mutants."
