A girl who had been standing by the side just now heard that the live broadcast was coming to an end, so she hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to hug Lawrence. Just when the two were about to separate, a sudden change occurred.

A man who seemed to be hostile at first sight pushed away the crowd of onlookers, took out a dagger and walked towards the two of them.Luna felt her heart stopped for a moment, and there was only one thought in her mind, if Lawrence used his mutant ability to fight that person in such a densely populated place, innocent people would be accidentally injured before the live broadcast, and what so many mutants did His efforts are all over.

She yelled, "Lawrence, don't!"

The man slashed in the direction of Lawrence and the girl. At this time, the girl was still in Lawrence's arms, her face turned pale with fright. Lawrence turned sideways, and the dagger pierced his arm, leaving the girl unharmed.

Luna's heart was half relieved, and she heard Jack shouting beside her: "Quickly turn off the live broadcast!"

The crowd screamed and fled in all directions, and the scene became a mess.

Luna rushed to take the girl away, and Lawrence fought the man with bare hands.The man struck fiercely, and he looked like he had been trained. Lawrence quickly fell into the disadvantaged.

Just as Jack was about to rush up, Luna stopped him: "Don't do anything! Spider-Man should be coming soon."

As soon as the voice fell, a black and red figure floated over people's heads, tying up the man tightly: "I said, do you have anti-social tendencies, people are doing other people's activities, why are you here to join in the fun?" , want to be famous?"

Luna breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best for a good neighbor in New York to resolve this matter.She looked around calmly, and found that there were several men with steadfast eyes standing in the crowd watching. After Luna saw them, they merged into the crowd and disappeared soon .

There is a faint shadow over Luna's heart.

Lawrence's injury was not serious, and Jack and the others were still planning to take him to the hospital for bandages, but the reporter from the Daily Bugle had already arrived at the scene, so Luna and Peter had to stay and hand over the matter.

It was already evening after everything was over, and Luna said to Peter: "Wanda just told me that she was making dinner at the Avengers Building, and asked if we wanted to go over."

Peter Parker, who was so poor and tried every means to earn money, agreed without hesitation.

The appearance of Wanda cooking step by step according to Jarvis's suggestion in the kitchen is really eye-catching. Luna and Peter, who are suspected of being single, just leaned over and took a look, then silently retreated to the sofa and sat with Pietro. chatting.

Peter asked while flipping through the photos in the camera: "There is one thing that I have wondered for a long time. Why do people love superheroes so much, but hate mutants so much? Obviously superheroes are not ordinary people."

Pietro Sister Control, very sad recently Maximov slumped on the sofa with no energy and said: "Because the number of superheroes is small, if one day superheroes can be mass-produced, then people will definitely reject superheroes of."

At this moment, Steve and Tony came over together and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Peter repeated it, and Steve thought for a while before answering: "It is true, the group of mutants is too big, there are good people and bad people in it, and the bad people of mutants can often cause far more damage than ordinary people. .”

Tony sneered, and Luna looked at him: "What do you think?"

Tony: "Because superheroes are man-made and acquired, superheroes are controllable in people's eyes, but mutants are different. Mutants are born different from ordinary people, and it can even be said that they are evolved. A more complete group would make them feel uncontrollable."

Dr. Banner who didn't know when came over nodded deeply and said: "That's true, and whether we want to admit it or not, from a biological point of view, ordinary people will eventually be eliminated by mutants—or assimilated. "

Luna: "If ordinary people can really live in harmony with mutants, then the genes of mutants are undoubtedly genes that are more suitable for the environment. In the near future, there will be a day when all human beings will carry the X gene."

"But the society where ordinary people live is not suitable for mutants to live in." Tony continued, "Mutants are also very likely to be wiped out by this environment."

Peter concluded: "In other words, either ordinary people are wiped out by mutants, or mutants are wiped out by ordinary people?"

Luna shook her head and said, "No, mutants will only use genes to assimilate ordinary people from generation to generation, while ordinary people will use weapons and drugs to eliminate mutants, that's the difference."

Tony sat relaxed on the sofa: "I really don't understand what those people are afraid of. Compared with the human beings thousands of years ago, the genes of today's humans have evolved much, but it is just an X gene, which must be passed through in evolution. It’s just a road, and there’s no danger.”

Luna shook her head slowly: "It may be that the current X gene is not stable enough, but mutants can indeed cause harm. There is no distinction between good mutants and bad mutants. They may just be unable to control themselves."

Tony glanced at her, didn't answer, and changed the subject, "I've been thinking about whether to create an entity for Jarvis recently."

Luna asked suddenly: "Jarvis was created by you, so he is your son? What about Wanda?"

Pietro, who got to Luna's point, laughed loudly, and Tony rolled his eyes without image: "Jarvis is my friend."

Luna, who bid farewell to Peter and others and returned to the apartment at night, suddenly felt a sense of vigilance when she took the key to open the door. She put the key back in her bag, turned to look at the stairwell, and saw a black figure standing there quietly.

The man came over and introduced himself: "Hello, Miss Howlett, my name is Hawick, can I talk to you?"

Five minutes later, the two sat together in the coffee shop downstairs.The man was dressed in a crisp suit and had a modest smile, just like an ordinary government worker.

"Well, Miss Howlett, I belong to a newly established department—Mutant Affairs Department."

Luna frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of this department?"

Hawick: "Because we haven't officially established it, the government is worried that our establishment of this department will make some people feel that it is discrimination against mutants."

Luna was careful not to express her personal opinion, but just asked: "What do you want from me?"

Hawick took out an instrument from the bag, and Luna's whole body tensed immediately. He pointed the instrument at Luna, and Luna's fingers on the table moved slightly.

There was no response from the instrument, and Hawick breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm really sorry, Miss Luna, this is a mutant detector, and it's just to prevent some small probability events."

Luna stood up suddenly: "I have nothing to talk to you about." After that, she picked up her bag and wanted to leave, but Hawick's words nailed her in place.

He sat there confidently, and said with a sincere expression: "Miss Howlett, or should I call you Miss Garcia, don't you want to know who caused the disaster in Mingzhou?"

Luna's whole body was cold, as if the old devil lingered on her body again. She even felt a little difficult to breathe for a moment, so she sat back in her seat and said calmly, "What do you know?"

Hawick said: "We approached you because you are the furthest and most well-known reporter in reporting on mutants. But due to some occupational diseases, we did a little research on your profile before contacting you. Identity, you know, those little disguises don't escape the investigation of professionals."

"I don't know how you escaped such a disaster. To be honest, I still doubted that you were the instigator of that disaster until just now. After all, you are the only survivor. Fortunately, you are not a mutant, so it seems You are as much a victim as I am, and I hope you will forgive me for my faux pas."

Luna asked, "Are you a victim?"

Hawick's smile restrained a little: "Yes, my wife died in a riot related to mutants."

Luna whispered, "I'm sorry."

Hawick: "It's okay, did you know that the disaster in Mingzhou was caused by mutants?"

Luna straightened her thoughts and said, "I don't know. I ran away from home at the time. You know, I couldn't bear the environment. I didn't know it was an earthquake until I saw the news."

Hawick smiled sarcastically: "That's not an earthquake, it's an obvious mutant riot."

Luna tentatively asked, "It's been so many years, are you still investigating this matter?"

Hawick squinted at her. "Don't you want to know who killed your mother and neighbors?"

Luna could only say: "Of course."

Hawick finally showed a satisfied smile: "We are still investigating this matter, but I hope you can help me a little bit. I hope you will mention a little more about the harm they caused when reporting mutants, so that It will be more conducive to the establishment of our department, and only after our department is successfully established can we better help you investigate who the murderer is."

Luna lowered her head slightly, looking at the pattern on the coffee cup: "After so many years, I just want to live a peaceful life. What's more, it is impossible for me to make false reports, which will cause me to lose my job."

Hawick persuaded: "This is not to ask you to lie in the newspaper, but I hope you are a little more targeted when choosing interviewees. There are still a lot of mutants who smash and steal in this world."

Luna didn't answer him, but just asked: "If your department is established, what is its function?"

Hawick thought that Luna was shaken, and hurriedly said: "The main thing is to register mutants and deal with mutant-related affairs, so there will be no violent social conflicts. In the future, if something like what you experienced back then happens, we will be the first to deal with it." Time to intervene and find the mutant responsible."

Luna asked: "I remember that the mutant registration system was rejected many years ago?"

Hawick explained patiently: "At that time, mutants hid like bugs, but now they dare to parade in the streets. Since they want to be in the public eye so much, how can we let them down."

Luna took a deep breath and stood up holding her handbag: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hawick, I don't want to accept such a deal." After that, she left directly.

Hawick sat on the seat with a cloudy face, playing with the mutant detector in his hand, and made a call: "She rejected me, we have to find a way to make her hate mutants."
