Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

Jimmy screamed and fell on a wide sofa.When he was sure that he was no longer falling, he instinctively raised his hands and sat up straight.He raised his head and saw Mr. James Zion, whom he had met yesterday, standing in front of him with a smile.

Jimmy looked left and right, and looked around at the furnishings in the room; his dizzy mind couldn't recover for a long time, and he couldn't figure out why he would fall into a strange room out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

"We meet again, Jimmy." Looking forward, he could see the teenager's uneasiness.

Jimmy responded awkwardly, "You... hello, Mr. Zion. Where am I now?"

"San Francisco, in the hotel where I live. It's not too far from Alcatraz." Pointing forward, he pointed out the window, "You see, the Golden Gate Bridge could still be seen there, but the bridge is gone now."

Jimmy glanced uneasily out the window and stammered, "How... how did I get here?"

"I brought you here with a little trick." Qiangqian subconsciously rubbed the hanging ring on his left index finger.

Jimmy sat awkwardly on the sofa. He had a lot to ask, but he hesitated to speak while looking forward; the tangled look on his face betrayed his thoughts completely.

"I know you have a lot of questions. Don't worry, you can take a look at this first." Qianqian put the tablet on the coffee table and pushed it over.

The high-definition lens carried by the drone conveyed back the terrifying scene on Alcatraz at this moment in detail.

Large groups of flames seemed to come alive, flowing over the US military positions, one after another soldiers were engulfed by the flames, screaming terribly.

The I-beams that were originally used as components of the bridge were ripped off from the bridge by an unknown force, drawing a graceful parabola like a thrown javelin, and falling continuously on the top of the American soldiers; they did not have sharp arrows, but only Its own weight is enough to cause terrible damage.

From time to time, large sheets of ice will appear above the US military positions to block the falling steel bars, but soldiers are still falling to the ground.

The mutants flocked to the U.S. military positions like ants, and the U.S. troops on the positions also fought back tenaciously, and one mutant after another was shot and fell down.

The I-beams that were still floating up into the sky were no longer projected, but spliced ​​together one by one, forming a wide steel wall; a female mutant with short hair and a neutral dress stood behind the steel wall He jumped down to the front of the position, and pressed his hands to the ground suddenly.

A shock wave visible to the naked eye spread along the ground.Where the shock wave passed, the soil and rocks on the surface rolled violently; the US military positions seemed to have suffered an eight-magnitude earthquake, a large number of obstacles and bunkers were thrown off the ground, and the soldiers in the bunkers were staggering.

The U.S. troops on the periphery began to rout, and a large number of soldiers retreated towards the building.A wall of ice rose from the ground, covering the retreating soldiers.

Looking at the battlefield full of dead and wounded in the picture, Jimmy asked tremblingly, "What's going on? Didn't Mr. Worthington say that the laboratory would not be in danger?"

"He also said that you are sick, do you think you are a sick person?" He shook his finger forward, "Mr. Worthington's remarks should not be a topic of discussion among smart people, okay?"

Jimmy nodded blankly—though he didn't quite understand.

"Those mutants who broke into Alcatraz are here to kill you." Pointing forward to the computer screen, he said, "As I told you, they think you are the curse of mutants and will bring them Great disaster."

"I'm not..." Jimmy was more nervous now than he was yesterday.After all, talking about this matter yesterday was just chatting in vernacular, but today I actually saw a bloody killing.

"Of course I know that you are not, and there are many mutants who know that you are not. But people's concepts are not completely consistent. These people..." pointing forward to the radical mutants who have been passing the bridge to the island, "They can't be persuaded."

Jimmy curled up into a ball and curled up on the sofa: "I...will I be killed by them?"

"There are also many people protecting you." Qianqian did not answer directly, "It's just that those who want to kill you will not give up easily. Although you are not on the island now, as long as they get news from you again, they will definitely keep coming. come here."

"and then?"

Qianqian tapped the screen again, sighed and said: "Then as you can see, the people who protect you and the people who want to kill you continue to fight. Killing, death, endless, until one of the parties Give up completely."

Jimmy looked at the picture on the screen, his eyes were stung by the glaring blood and casualties everywhere.

"How can I get them to give up? Sir, what can I do?"

Xiangqian smiled gratifiedly, as if he was happy for a child's bravery and sense of responsibility.

"Do you remember the promise I made to you yesterday? I promised to give you a chance to choose. Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise." Qianqian said sincerely, "You have a chance to choose to end the present Disputes can also avoid more bloodshed."

"What choice?"

"I can send you to a hidden place and make the world forget you completely. When everyone can't find you, they will have no reason to fight, and more bloodshed and death can be avoided."

Jimmy listened quietly, and he felt that forward's calm voice seemed to have a power that could touch people's hearts.

"I can arrange for you to go to school, and you will have the opportunity to meet some friends; but from now on, you can't use your own name, and you can't contact your parents. You have to say goodbye to your past-this is what you need to pay for it. sacrifice."

"Am I going to hide forever?" Jimmy asked softly, he still hesitated.

Qianqian replied firmly: "Of course not! I will try my best to find alternatives. When one day, people no longer need to extract medicine from you, you can go home. Of course, maybe this It will take a long time, maybe until you grow up and find out for yourself."

"Like you cured yourself?"

"Yes, as if I cured myself."

He bent forward and looked at Jimmy calmly, with deep and sincere eyes.Jimmy slowly stood up from the sofa, and the gradually firm expression on his face made Qianqian smile sincerely.

"I am willing to go, and I am willing to accept your arrangement, sir."

From the first meeting to today's conversation, the psychological offensive carefully woven one after another has achieved the most ideal results at this moment.

Jimmy was a big boy in adolescence, at his age, children always have a certain seemingly naive, but actually sincere belief; Willing to do something for this world.

Although what Xiangqian said was to let Jimmy make his own choice, but under the premise of having this belief and facing the guidance of carefully designed words, the choice Jimmy made was completely within Qianqian's expectation.

What's more interesting is that, even though he used speech techniques from beginning to end, every word Xiangqian said was the truth—he never violated his principle of not deceiving children.

"I'll send you away now, there are already people waiting for you over there, and they will help you arrange everything." Qianqian rubbed the ring on his hand, "By the way, have you ever played bungee jumping, just like when you came here just now?" Like that?"

Thinking of the experience of the free fall just now, Jimmy was terrified.

"Sir, I'm not very... ah!" With another exclamation, Jimmy fell from the floor and disappeared.

Looking forward suspiciously at the place where Jimmy disappeared, he said to himself as if talking to Jimmy: "Next time, you should speak faster."
