[Zhongyingmei] At the end of time

The next day Luna received a call from Jack again, saying that she was asked to attend a meeting of mutants, and Luna agreed after thinking about it.

The location of their meeting is in a dilapidated small church. It is said that it is a meeting, but it is more like a community gathering. It is just that everyone gathers together to summarize the last event and then look forward to the next event. If anyone encounters any problems, they will bring it up. Discuss with everyone.

Luna sat in the corner of the last row of the church, watching Jack stand on the stage and discuss with everyone the precautions for the next event, leaning on the chair, feeling a rare relaxation.

At this time, a tall black man sat next to Luna, and Luna smiled at him politely, waiting for him to speak first—there are so many empty seats in the church, and he has to squeeze into this corner, no doubt he has something to say Luna said.

The man looked Luna up and down, and asked bluntly, "Are you a mutant?"

After what happened the day before, Luna became much more cautious. She neither admitted nor denied, but asked instead: "Are only mutants allowed here?"

The man was not angry, but said: "A man who called himself Hawick came to me a few days ago."

"I had some conflicts with Jack before, and it's already well-known in the mutant circle in New York. The guy named Hawick asked me to provide him with information about Jack's activities."

Luna's heart trembled, but she said: "You should go to Jack and tell Jack, why tell me."

The man said: "Hawick is very ambitious. To a certain extent, you have guided the public's perception of mutants. He will definitely go to you. Don't reject him directly when the time comes."

Luna frowned, "Why?"

The man still had no expression on his face: "I rejected him straight away. These two days, I always felt that I was being followed. Today I finally got rid of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a drowsy man sitting in the front row suddenly stood up and said loudly, "The police are approaching! We are still one kilometer away!"

Luna was not too nervous: "It seems that you didn't get rid of them."

The man stood up: "I have to get out of here, remember what I said." Then he disappeared into the air.

Luna stepped forward and asked, "Did the police change direction?"

The man who just issued the warning closed his eyes and felt it carefully: "No, they are coming for us, and they will be here in three minutes at most."

Jack made a decisive decision: "Everyone leave through the back door immediately."

The mutants came out in a file, Luna shook her head and said: "You can't run very far, I will stay and hold them back."

Jack refused: "No, you have no reason to appear in this broken church alone."

Lawrence stood up with a smile: "Now she has a reason, let's go."

Jack took a deep look at the two of them, and led them away.

Luna took out a pen and paper from her bag, and Lawrence looked at her relaxed look and said, "You have already decided that I should stay."

Luna didn't deny it, but asked earnestly while writing and drawing on the paper without raising her head: "May I ask if you came up with this live broadcast method?"

At this time, the door opened, and a group of people rushed in with guns, shouting: "NYPD!" Luna and Lawrence showed just the right surprise and stood up in a daze.

The NYPD searched the entire church in a well-trained manner, and there was not even a live mouse except Luna.A man who looked like a leader stood in front of the two of them: "Someone reported that there is a terrorist gathering here, what are you doing?"

Luna's voice trembled a little, like any girl's first time as a terrorist: "I'm Luna Howlett, a reporter from the Daily Bugle, and he's Lawrence, and I'm interviewing him."

The man held out his hand to Luna: "Can I have a look?"

Luna nodded and said: "Of course." After finishing speaking, she handed him the paper in her hand and the internship certificate in the bag.

The man looked at it several times and asked again, "How long have you been here?"

Luna replied: "About 20 minutes, during this time there were only the two of us in the church."

The man still insisted: "Please go to the bureau with me, I still have some questions to ask you."

The two had to be taken to the New York Police Station. When they passed by the homicide squad, Luna glanced at Detective Fusco with a smile. The member said: "This person is my important informant, related to a murder case I am investigating recently."

Taking Luna to the corner of the corridor, Detective Fusco looked Luna up and down: "Are you the one who told me to look for you?"

Luna asked curiously: "What did he ask you to check on me?"

Fusco said angrily: "Four Eyes said that you are missing, let me help you find out, your information is very deep."

Almost at the same time, Luna received a call without displaying the number, and Luna answered without any surprise: "Finch?"

Finch said: "Miss Luna, I'm so glad you're back, you disappeared suddenly..."

Luna was in a daze, less than a week had passed since Carter's death, but she felt as if half a year had passed, and the previous actions to exterminate HR seemed to have happened in her previous life.

She just said: "It's just a sequela of some abilities. It's all right now. Please contact me again in a few days. I have something to discuss with you."

Riise's joking voice came from over there: "Did you see anything else?"

Luna also smiled and said, "Yes, I will tell you when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, Fusco asked helplessly: "Civil rights fighters, can we go?"

Luna was a little surprised: "Can I go now?"

Fusco made a gesture of 'please leave', and Luna leaned towards him and said, "Please help me get Lawrence out, thank you."

Fusco broke down: "Did I owe four eyes or owe you?"

Luna smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't fish it, he is pretty clean, so there shouldn't be any problem."

At this moment, Luna's cell phone rang again, and after she answered the phone, her expression immediately became serious, and she only said "I thought I had the right to choose the interviewee?", and hung up without saying a word The phone said to Fusco: "I have to leave now, we will see you again."

Fusco muttered: "It's better not to see you again, I always feel that seeing you is like seeing Wonder Boy, and nothing good will happen."

Luna hurried to the detention facility, where she got a chance to meet a budding mugger after showing her internship.

Luna sat down and introduced herself briefly: "Hello, Mr. Danny, I'm an intern reporter for the Daily Bugle. I'm here this time to..."

Danny, whose eyes were blood red, interrupted her with a sarcastic smile: "I know you, that little reporter who wrote about mutants, it's really not easy to survive to this day without being killed by those anti-mutant organizations."

Luna didn't take his words as usual, and just continued the interview.When Paul called her and asked her to interview this person immediately, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Generally speaking, Paul would not interfere with her interview too much, but this time Paul was unexpectedly tough. Said that the editor-in-chief of the newspaper wanted her to come and interview this person.

The interview with Danny was abnormally smooth. Danny almost answered every question, and described in detail how he used his mutant ability to rob.

For Luna's questions about the reason for the robbery, they always use "Why don't I use the ability?" or "Why do I have to work like ordinary people when I have the mutant ability? I can get money more easily." Come deal with Luna.

At the end of the interview, Luna was so annoyed by his seemingly unconcerned answer that she could not continue the interview. She put down her pen and asked directly, "Do you know Hawick?"

Danny raised one corner of his mouth, "You don't think that only Hawick and his gang in New York are anti-mutants, do you?"

Luna asked: "I can understand Hawick's anti-mutant, but why do you, as a mutant, oppose your own ethnic group?"

Danny put away his smile: "Because all the suffering I suffered was brought about by my identity as a mutant, if there is such a medicine that can lose the mutant ability with one injection, I will definitely be the first to inject it. "

Luna asked again: "What you don't like is the identity of a mutant. What does it matter to other mutants?"

Danny said a little excitedly: "As long as our generation of mutants disappears, there will be no next generation of mutants."

Luna gave a long "oh", "Racism in another sense?"

It was only then that Danny realized what he had just said: "You are going to attribute all my previous actions to the extreme racism brought about by the cold eyes that mutants suffered, so that no one will have anything to do with the large group of mutants." Negative opinion."

Luna couldn't help laughing: "It's true."

Danny leaned back on the chair: "It's smart, I was arrested for nothing, I didn't expect you to be so persistent."

Luna just said: "As a reporter, I must guide the people being interviewed to tell their truth."

Danny asked disdainfully: "Do you dare to say that you have no selfishness?"

Luna smiled frankly: "No."

After that, he got up and left.

Luna called Lawrence on the way back to the apartment and was truly relieved to learn that he had been released safely.

Luna's interview was just as she expected, and it didn't cause any splashes. As usual, some people lamented that civil rights could not be realized, and some people shouted that mutants should die.

A few days later, I went to the Daily Bugle to find Paul to finish the topic selection meeting for the new issue. Before returning to the apartment, Luna received a call from Steve. Steve said: "We found traces of the Winter Soldier's activities. Come to Fulian Building as soon as possible."
