Darkness Rises

Chapter 165 The rain is coming
"According to our investigation, the real identities of those people are indeed members of the operation team of the mutant shelter center, and, and..."

Director Bratton didn't know what Ivan was thinking, or even the turmoil in the heart of the little girl next to him. He was just trying to explain to Ivan why all this happened.

He doesn't want to die yet, you know, he can become the chief of the New York Police Department, thanks to Alvin Hammer's support for the mayor of New York.

According to Aiwen's influence on the mayor, it is a breeze to remove him from this position.

And if he was removed from the post of police chief, especially because he offended Alvin Hammer, then his fate would not be much better than that of the dead mutant.

Seeing Bratton's panic to the point where he stuttered, Ivan frowned and said, "Speak well, dare to delay my time, you know the consequences!"

Hearing Aiwen's impatient tone, Director Bratton's expression immediately became aroused, and he said quickly: "After my people investigated the situation, I went to find this policeman immediately. This damn guy, actually Ignoring my orders..."

"Ok?"

Hearing Ivan's already very impatient doubts, Bratton could only quickly say: "As a result, my people found that this police officer had died in an alley behind a bar last night, and the time of his death , it is presumed to be earlier than that mutant.

So, Mr. Hammer, according to the evidence I have investigated, this incident is absolutely inseparable from the black hand of the mutant shelter center, and the mutant named Meatball is to save the children around you, Just got caught in the police station.

Considering your identity, I have reason to suspect that their target may be directed at you! "

Ai Wen nodded, and then smiled disdainfully. These guys really couldn't help it. Last time he slapped him hard. Now that he's recovered, he can't help but want to take revenge on him. .

It seems that what they did last time was not enough to make them hurt!
But neither Ai Wen nor the chief of the police station knew that the person who understood the scene most was not the two of them, but the little girl next to him.

Polaris!
Why did she come to Ivan's side?
Yes, it's because of the mutant shelter!

She may not be very clear that all the big and small things that changed her life experience in this period cannot escape the various roles played by Ivan.

From that stage of her life, the "Mutant Asylum Center" riot that caused the most significant change allowed her to escape the prison cage.

And then she kept fleeing in the ups and downs, until she was discovered by the people in the detention center, who used her best friends as bargaining chips and threatened her to come to Aiwen's side as an undercover agent, trying to give him a vicious blow at a critical moment. Backstab.

All these changes are because of this man.

Lorna Dan stood aside, looking at Ivan with complicated eyes. This man she was always ready to betray was actually really good.

This is not her sudden feeling, but the accumulated understanding of the bits and pieces in daily life in the recent period.

Prior to this, Lorna had been oppressed and almost imprisoned because she lived in a mutant shelter for a long time.

This gave her a deep recognition of the identity of a mutant, and she didn't hate her birth, identity, and race like many other mutants in the detention center.

On the contrary, she, who has been oppressed all the time, wants to make the lives of mutants better, and even surpass humans.

However, due to reality, she had to live a life of escape, not to mention above ordinary humans, even if self-protection was very difficult, and she even had to worry about how to solve the next meal every day.

But when she accepted the task and came to Aiwen's side with ulterior motives, she unexpectedly felt the rare warmth.

Here, there is Clarice, and there are many fellow mutants such as Little Fatty Russell, John and Hedgehog.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. After all, the warmth they can give cannot be compared to Marcus who is still trapped in the shelter.

But the key point is that these mutant compatriots showed her a completely different state of life.

They are confident and fearless, and even the subordinates of hedgehogs and night girls, as well as many ordinary humans, work for them.

This is simply the pinnacle of Lorna's long-standing cognition.

And she understood that all of this was brought by Ivan, and she had never seen such a special mutant before.

Rich, powerful, and capable of literally changing the status of mutants!
These are all her personal experiences, especially she feels that Aiwen can really give mutants dignity, not just a joke.

That night, with Aiwen's help, she tortured the rich second generation of human beings who wanted to bully her to death, which completely changed her view of Aiwen.

This man not only protected her, but even his three views were so consistent that he didn't take the lives of ordinary human beings seriously.

And the most direct result of this kind of emotion is that Lorna has a great resistance to the task assigned to her by the detention center.

Because in her mind, if she really helped those bastards and killed Ivan, then she would be a traitor among mutants.

Even worse than that, and more serious, she could ruin the entire future of mutants.

Because in her opinion, Aiwen is really a changer who can change the future of mutants and let them escape from the miserable situation.

Thinking of this, Polaris, who has always claimed to be extremely ruthless, made up his mind in his heart that if he wanted to make a change, he must not let Aiwen die in the hands of those bastards!
As Lorna Dane woke up and went to Clarice to discuss her plan, the atmosphere of the city of New York suddenly fell into a state of chaos.

Because the death of the mutant meat ball was too tragic, and the murder case was spread to the whole of the United States through the news media, causing the anger in the hearts of all mutants to be provoked.

Of course, they, who have been oppressed all the time, still have reason in their hearts, they don't have it, and they dare not use their abilities to do evil.

But they took another way to vent their anger and make their own claims.

"The fate of mutants is fate!"

A wave of protests across the United States was set off, and New York, where it started, was the eye of the storm.

Countless mutants took to the streets, holding up the slogans in their hands, and loudly shouted their political views.

They hope that through this massive protest, they can effectively change the living conditions of mutants and win more rights.

But the so-called beacon of democracy doesn't really care about human rights so much. When the fully armed riot police stand on the opposite side of the mutants, everything is settled.

Rain is coming!
