Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 154 The Mutant Who Disappeared

On 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 case of the nursing home goes well, our Skinner & Dane firm can get at least 400 million US dollars from it, and it may even be more than this!"

"400?"

Ye Zixun was amazed, nodded and said: "That should be celebrated."

Lorna shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's talk about it after the dust settles!"

Having said that, Lorna paused, looked into Ye Zixun's eyes and asked expectantly: "Will you come to the court on the day of the trial?"

"Me?" Ye Zixun was startled, thought for a while, and smiled wryly, "It depends on the situation. If possible, I will definitely not miss it."

"That's great!" Lorna said with a joyful look on her face.

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

The familiar ringtone made the smile on Lorna's face gradually disappear.

Ye Zixun looked 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 thinks that these two tasks may be carried out jointly, so he submitted an application to me..."

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

"Sir, don't tell me that you have approved it..."

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

"Okay, sir, I see."

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

"Sorry, Lorna, I seem to be on another field mission."

"...Where are you going?"

"New Mexico."

Lorna nodded slightly, holding a cup of warm coffee in silence.

Ye Zixun thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Do you know SHIELD?"

Lorna was taken aback when she heard the words: "What?"

Ye Zixun lowered his voice and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D., the full name is Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistic Support Bureau."

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

After all, they are a couple who have slept together for many years and are about to talk about marriage. It is difficult to hide any big secrets from each other. Ye Zixun can sense that Lorna has a secret, and Lorna naturally finds that he is not an ordinary man. The FBI agent is so simple.

After hesitating for a while, Lorna shook her head and said, "I haven't 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 all kinds of mysterious incidents. I am a seventh-level agent of SHIELD... "

Lorna stared at him blankly: "Why did you tell me this all of a sudden?"

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

"Reassure me?"

"Yeah, so that you don't think I'm using the task as an excuse to hide something bad from you behind your back—huh, to be honest, this is a big secret I've kept from you for eight years, and it feels much lighter to say it now !"

Looking at Ye Zixun with a relaxed expression and a long sigh of relief, Lorna's expression changed, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart.

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

Ye Zixun replied with a smile, "You are a mutant."

Lorna was slightly taken aback, looking at him in disbelief.

"……you know?"

"Of course I know." Ye Zixun said with an inscrutable expression, "Remember what I said just now, SHIELD is responsible for investigating all kinds of mysterious events, including aliens, magic, mutants, and superhuman."

"So you have investigated my information a long time ago."

"To be honest, no." Ye Zixun shook his head, "According to my guess, something happened to the mutants, which led to a very high level of secrecy. With my current authority, I have no access to relevant information for the time being. .”

Lorna asked puzzled, "Then how do you know?"

Ye Zixun said without blushing, "Of course I guessed it. After all, I am a seventh-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I have been exposed to countless extraordinary events, and I know the mentality of you superpowers hidden among ordinary people best. 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 the words, and suddenly said after a long time: "715 Westchester Incident."

Ye Zixun froze for a moment: "What?"

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

"After this incident, human officials took certain measures against mutants, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of mutants, and those mutant organizations that were extremely active before that also began to disappear..."

"So that's how it is." Ye Zixun pondered, "According to this, Professor X may have acquiesced in the measures taken by humans because of inner guilt, and may even actively contribute to the flames, sealing the mutants in the brains of all human beings around the world. Memory, otherwise it cannot explain the fact that no one knows about mutants today."

"It is indeed possible."

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

Ye Zixun asked in surprise, "What do you think?"

Lorna showed hesitation, and said softly: "Of course it's about mutants. After all, mutants have done such terrible things. If you feel afraid of me because of this, or even... even disgusted, I can completely understand it." ..."

"Lorna, what are you talking about?"

Ye Zixun let out a laugh, 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, That is just your accessory and bonus item, not to mention that you are just a mutant, even if you are the ultimate villain hiding behind the world, I am willing to fight the world for you..."

Hearing Ye Zixun's extremely affectionate confession, Lorna's eye sockets and cheeks gradually turned rosy.

Ye Zixun hugged her into his arms with a chuckle, and said in a low voice: "Besides, what are mutants? I have seen genius scientists who turned into green monsters because they took the initiative to accept human experiments, and I have seen them flying around the world in steel armor. He is a genius billionaire who has seen countless cruel wars waged by humans—to put it bluntly, mutants are really nothing compared to the crisis caused by humans themselves!"

Leaning in the familiar warm embrace, Lorna bit her lower lip lightly, unconsciously recalling the scene of the first awakening ability in her mind.

It was the first kiss between her and Ye Zixun in the movie theater. The sudden magnetic force made Lorna feel very panicked at that time, and she had an urge to escape, but Ye Zixun didn't do what she wanted and forced her to stay Come down and continue kissing in the dark.

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

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

Ye Zixun sniffed the scent of shampoo at 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."

"……what?"

Ye Zixun widened his eyes, looking at the girlfriend in his arms in astonishment.

Meaning their law firm has now turned into a stronghold of mutants?

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

"It's not an organization!" Lorna thought for a while and explained, "I just found these mutants who were not accepted by my family, gathered them together, supported each other in life, and didn't have any specific purpose or goal. , if I have to say it, I should probably live a good life like an ordinary person..."

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

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

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

Ye Zixun nodded. Marcus is the boyfriend of Polaris Lorna in the American drama "X-Men: Godsend". He showed the ability of mutants since he was a child, so he was abandoned by his parents. In order to make a living, Marcus joined a The Mexican trafficking organization, under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult for him to communicate with the current Lorna.

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

Ye Zixun said seriously: "That's right, and he's a bad mutant who joined a criminal organization."

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

Ye Zixun said relievedly: "That's right, and once you make a move, you must not be merciful. To deal with such a self-willed and depraved villain, you should kill him and send him to God to repent!"
