Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

Chapter 154 The Vanishing Mutant

At the bar in the living room, Lorna was excitedly telling Ye Zixun about the progress of the nursing home case.

Ye Zixun held the coffee in his hand, looked at his girlfriend's side face with a smile, and listened to her words quietly.

"...According to Sonia and I's speculation, as long as the nursing home case progresses smoothly, our firm Skinner \u0026 Dane will be able to gain at least four million U.S. dollars from it, and it may even be more than that!"

"Four million?"

Ye Zixun looked in amazement and nodded: "That should indeed be celebrated."

Lorna shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's wait until everything settles!"

Speaking of this, Lorna paused, looked into Ye Zixun's eyes and asked expectantly: "On the day of the trial, will you come to attend?"

"Me?" Ye Zixun was stunned, thought for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "It depends on the situation. If possible, I will definitely not miss it."

"That's great!" Lorna had a look of joy on her face.

At this moment, Ye Zixun's cell phone rang.

The familiar ringtone caused the smile on Lorna's face to fade away.

Ye Zixun glanced at her helplessly, then took out his mobile phone: "What's the matter, sir?"

"It's time to act. The target of your investigation has appeared in New Mexico and has been linked to the 084 incident there. Coulson thought that the two tasks might be carried out jointly, so he applied to me..."

Listening to Nick Fury's words on the phone, Ye Zixun couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, don't tell me you have already reviewed it..."

"Yes, I have approved it. You now have 24 hours to deal with your own personal matters. After 24 hours, I will see your location in New Mexico, at least on the plane to New Mexico."

"Okay, sir, I understand."

Ye Zixun hung up the phone and looked at Lorna apologetically.

"Sorry, Lorna, it looks like I'm going on field duty again."

"...Where to go?"

"New Mexico."

Lorna nodded slightly and remained silent while holding the warm coffee.

Ye Zixun thought for a while and suddenly said: "Do you know SHIELD?"

Lorna was startled when she heard this: "What?"

Ye Zixun lowered his voice and said: "SHIELD, the full name is the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."

Looking at the serious expression on Ye Zixun's face, Lorna's face was stunned, and she seemed to have some premonition in her heart.

After all, they have been sleeping together for many years and are almost talking about marriage. It is difficult for them to hide any big secrets from each other. Ye Zixun can detect that Lorna has a secret, and Lorna naturally also finds out that he is not an ordinary person. The FBI agent is so simple.

After hesitating for a moment, Lorna shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Ye Zixun explained in a low voice: "This is a mysterious department hidden behind the scenes. It has great power and is responsible for investigating various mysterious incidents. And I am a level seven agent affiliated with SHIELD... "

Lorna looked at him blankly: "Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

Ye Zixun smiled slightly: "Of course it's to make you feel at ease!"

"Reassuring me?"

"Yeah, so that you don't think I'm using the mission as an excuse to do bad things secretly from you - phew, to be honest, this is a big secret that I've kept from you for eight years, and now I feel much lighter telling it. !”

Looking at Ye Zixun, who had a relaxed expression and breathed a long sigh of relief, Lorna's expression changed, and there was a war between heaven and man in her heart.

Soon, she gritted her teeth and said as if she had made some decision: "Actually, I have something to hide from you. I..."

Ye Zixun smiled and replied: "You are a mutant."

Lorna was slightly startled, looking at him in disbelief.

"……you know?"

"Of course I know." Ye Zixun said with an enigmatic face, "Do you remember what I just said? SHIELD is responsible for investigating various mysterious events, including aliens, magic, mutants, and... Superpowers.”

"So you have already investigated my information."

"To be honest, no." Ye Zixun shook his head, "According to my guess, something happened to the mutants, which caused their confidentiality level to become extremely high. With my current authority, I still have no access to relevant information. .”

Lorna asked in confusion: "Then how did you know?"

Ye Zixun said without blushing, "Of course I guessed it. After all, I am a level seven agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., I have been exposed to countless extraordinary events, and I know best the mentality of you superpowers hidden among ordinary people. What's more, you and I are still a couple who get along day and night, you don't think you can really hide it from me, do you?"

"..."

Luo Nawen fell silent after hearing this, and then suddenly said after a long time: "715 Westchester Incident."

Ye Zixun was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Lorna explained softly: "This was a mass casualty incident caused by mutants. The instigator of the incident was a mutant with powerful psychic abilities. We call him Professor X. As far as I know, Professor Due to body spasms, his abilities went out of control and he accidentally killed nearly a thousand innocent humans and mutants."

"After this incident, human officials took certain measures against mutants, which resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of mutants. Those mutant organizations that had been extremely active before this also began to disappear..."

"So that's it." Ye Zixun thought thoughtfully, "According to this, Professor Memory, otherwise it would not explain why no one knows anything about mutants today."

"It's definitely possible."

Lorna nodded and suddenly asked in a complicated tone: "What do you think?"

Ye Zixun said in surprise: "What do you think?"

Lorna looked hesitant and said softly: "Of course it's about mutants. After all, there have been mutants who have done such terrible things. If you are afraid of me because of this, or even... or even disgusted, I can completely understand. …”

"Lorna, what are you talking about?"

Ye Zixun laughed, then gently held Lorna's hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I don't care whether you are a human or a so-called mutant, because I love Lorna Dane. As for identity, Those are just your accessories and bonus points. Not to mention you are just a mutant, even if you are the ultimate villain hidden behind the world, I am willing to make an enemy of the world for you..."

Hearing Ye Zixun's extremely affectionate confession, Lorna's eyes and cheeks gradually turned red.

Ye Zixun chuckled and hugged her into his arms, and whispered: "Besides, mutants are nothing. I have seen genius scientists who turned into green monsters because they voluntarily accepted human experiments. I have seen them flying around the world wearing steel armors." He is a genius billionaire and has seen countless cruel wars started by humans - to put it bluntly, compared to the crises caused by humans themselves, mutants are really not worth mentioning!"

Leaning into the familiar warm embrace, Lorna bit her lower lip, unconsciously recalling the scene when she first awakened her ability in her mind.

It was her first kiss with Ye Zixun in the cinema. The sudden power of the magnetic field made Lorna very panicked at the time, and she had an urge to escape, but Ye Zixun did not do what she wanted and forcibly kept her. Come down and continue kissing in the dark.

At that time, she was also in such a warm embrace, gradually regaining her calm, and miraculously learned how to control her abilities.

Recalling the sweet relationship in the past, Lorna suddenly remembered something again, and immediately said a little shyly: "By the way, there are still things I haven't told you..."

Ye Zixun sniffed the fragrance of shampoo on the tip of his nose and asked absently: "What's the matter?"

Lorna raised her head from his arms, looked into his eyes and said with some embarrassment: "Laura, John and Sonia in the law firm are actually mutants."

"……ha?"

Ye Zixun's eyes widened and he looked at his girlfriend in his arms in shock.

Does this mean that their law firm has now become a mutant stronghold?

"You mean, you formed an underground mutant organization?"

"It's not really an organization!" Lorna thought for a moment and explained, "I just found these mutants who were not accepted by their families, brought them together, and supported each other in their lives. I didn't have any specific purpose or goal. , if you insist on saying so, probably just live a good life like ordinary people..."

Ye Zixun nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked warily: "Do you know Marcus?"

Lorna thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

It's okay if you don't know...

Ye Zixun nodded. Marcus is the boyfriend of Polaris Lorna in the American TV series "X-Men: Godsend". He showed mutant abilities since he was a child, so he was abandoned by his parents. In order to make a living, Marcus joined a Mexican cartel organization, under normal circumstances, it would be really difficult for him to interact with Lorna now.

Lorna asked curiously: "Is he also a mutant?"

Ye Zixun said seriously: "Yes, and he is a bad mutant who joined a criminal organization."

Lorna thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand. If I have the chance to meet him in the future, I will definitely be careful."

Ye Zixun said happily: "That's right, and once you take action, you must not be merciful. When dealing with such a self-degenerate evil person, you should kill him and send him to repent before God!"
