"You heard what I said. I said I don't like what I'm doing. If I can, I want to prevent this from happening even more than you do." Shen Yi replied sternly.
Little Jerry became excited and shouted, "You mean you can stop this?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "It's not to stop it, it's just to make some changes."
"how to change?"
Shen Yi thought for a while, carefully choosing his words: "My mission in this world is to kill mutants. I can't fight or change this mission, but at least I can choose the way to complete it."
"How to choose?"
"Distinguish them. Not every mutant is innocent. A considerable number of mutants will choose to use their abilities to do things they shouldn't do after discovering their abilities. Abilities, like power, corrupt people. The best tool. These people use their abilities to satisfy themselves, but they destroy the relationship between mutants and humans. In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of these people that humans are wary of mutants, and the human government passed The Twelfth Amendment also finally triggered the confrontation between humans and mutants... These mutants are the culprits of this world-wide disaster. If I kill such mutants, I will not feel any psychological guilt. .”
"Then how do you distinguish them? Do you know who is guilty and who is not guilty?"
"I can't tell the difference. In order to fight against the human government, Magneto gathered all the mutants. He didn't care who was guilty and who was not guilty. This approach made the implementation of my plan difficult. But I Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it either..."
Shen Yi looked at the little guy and said word by word: "You can tell the difference, right? I need your help, Jerry. You can lead me to find them and tell them apart."
"Me?" The little guy looked at Shen Yi in surprise.
"Yes, you!" Shen Yi nodded seriously: "You are Professor x's student. You have psychic abilities similar to Professor x. Then you must be able to sense the existence of mutants."
The little guy's face turned pale.
In fact, even if the little guy doesn't admit it, Shen Yi already knows it.
Learning from his lesson, Shen Yi specially used his spirit to observe the little guy.
"Jerryracion, a third-level mutant. Has superpowers: 1 activation and 2 communication."
A mutant child with two powers, and a level three mutant. He didn’t know what communication ability was until the little guy showed it.
What Shen Yi is interested in now is the little guy's communication ability.
This power is obviously the ability to communicate mentally.
It is through this ability that the little guy establishes contact with animals, and the animals convey messages for him.
If you can communicate spiritually with animals, then communicating with people will naturally be no problem.
So after Shen Yi discovered this, he immediately realized that the little guy's ability would also be of great help to them.
"Then you will choose to only kill those damned, guilty mutants and spare the innocent ones? Is this what you mean when you say that you cannot fight your mission, but you can choose how to carry out the mission?"
"Yes. I can even notify those mutants who have been spared by us, so that they can escape the pursuit of other people who may come...people like me."
Shen Yi's expression is full of sincerity.
To be honest, this is indeed the best solution he can think of at the moment.
It's hard to say whether this method is for themselves or for the mutants, but there is no doubt that for Shen Yi and the others, with Little Jerry providing search assistance and Nedinil with combat assistance, then for Shen Yi and the others, this is The next competition mission will become easier. This is far faster and more effective than relying on Wei Na and others.
It is worth giving it a try for both yourself and others.
Shen Yi doesn't have to worry about whether there are enough bastard mutants in New York City.
As he said, ability, like power, is a breeding ground for corruption.
There are as many greedy officials as there are black-hearted mutants.
In fact, at least half of the mutants have used their abilities to break the law. At least one-fifth of them are eligible to be executed, and a few are even eligible to be shot a hundred times. For example, they were killed by Shen Yi previously. The dead Jaken Hager.
As long as Little Jerry is willing to help him, it will no longer be difficult to find these mutants. The rest is a matter of execution.
At this moment, little Jerry looked at Shen Yi, who was looking at him with a smile.
The little guy's expression suddenly changed.
He stared at Shen Yi with vigilant eyes, and suddenly shouted: "You must want to lie to me again! You are a big liar! You have lied to me twice, don't think I will believe you again! You are a group of devils ! Murderous devil! Everything you just said is false. You don’t want to help us at all! You just want to use me to find mutants. Don’t expect any help from me, I won’t tell you anything!”
"Jerry, that's not the case. Listen to me. If you don't believe it, you can use your ability to sense me and communicate with my heart. You know the heart can't lie..."
"I can't sense beings that are stronger than me! Even if I could, I wouldn't believe you!" Little Jerry shouted and blocked his ears, refusing to listen to Shen Yi anymore.
Shen Yi stared at the little guy blankly for a while, then finally sighed and walked out of the room without saying anything.
Outside the door, Wen Wen was leaning against the wall of the corridor with her arms folded, looking at him with a smile.
Shen Yi's heart moved slightly, and he stepped forward and said, "Have you heard everything?"
Wen Wen turned her head playfully and thought for a moment, and then replied: "Since I got the ability to strengthen my hearing, I rarely turn it on. Because I find that the world is sometimes so noisy, and most of what you hear is Sound is actually unpleasant to hear. But we have to admit that it is indeed a good means to discover secrets."
Shen Yi smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "It's not a secret, it's just a temporary idea, but you also heard that I was holding back. People, sometimes you just can't do something without credibility. It's really interesting. When I want to lie to him, I succeeded easily. But when I didn’t want to lie to him, even though I was telling the truth from my heart, I failed.”
Wen Wen said: "That's because when you didn't want to lie to him, you didn't regard him as an enemy."
"What?" Shen Yi was stunned.
Gentle hands have been placed on Shen Yi's shoulders: "Do you know who negotiation skills are used on? Opponents. The first two times you lied to him were because you were plotting against him, so you considered every point of him. reaction. But this time you were not plotting against him. You did not even think that he was still in the enemy's position. You just imagined a plan, and even you yourself were excited about this plan. Do you think this is against us? , a method that is good for Jerry. So if you don’t regard him as an opponent, you will underestimate his possible reaction.”
Shen Yi touched his chin in surprise, thought for a while, and nodded: "You're right, the reason why people make mistakes is often not because we underestimate our opponents, but because we don't regard our opponents as opponents at all."
"So now you know how to win Jerry's trust?" she asked with a gentle smile.
"Of course, to be honest, it's not difficult at all." Shen Yi laughed.
Half an hour later, Wei Na came back.
She brought good news.
In a community eight kilometers away from the motel, she found some information about mutants.
Wei Na said: "What is certain is that there are definitely mutants active there, because some residents discovered some abnormalities."
"What kind of abnormal situation?" Shen Yi asked.
Wei Na spread her hands: "For example, you knocked down someone while driving, but when you ran out of the car to see if that person was alive or dead, you found that the person was gone."
Lake also said: "In the past, we called this phenomenon a supernatural phenomenon, but now people are more willing to attribute it all to mutants."
"That's right!" The adventurers laughed.
Shen Yi clapped his hands: "Okay, in this case we will go to that community to have a look. Luo Hao, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Nedini and Jerry. Let's take action and hope to have good results. Remember, this time All those who were caught alive during the operation were not allowed to be killed."
"Why?" Wei Na exclaimed.
Shen Yi glared at her: "Do you want to question me again?"
Wei Na immediately shut up and said nothing.
Eight kilometers was not far, and Shen Yi and the others arrived at their destination quickly.
It has to be said that Weina and the others are indeed quite familiar with New York, and their ability to search for information is obviously better than other districts. It's just bad luck. First, five West District adventurers died yesterday, and then Weina After a few people were beaten to the punch by Shen Yi, and today they were beaten by An Wen and others again, they suffered setbacks step by step. However, after working with Shen Yi, luck seemed to be favoring these West District adventurers.
Sure enough, they quickly discovered traces of the mutants.
There were seven mutants in total. They did not seem to belong to Magneto's mutant organization, but more like a small-scale spontaneous gathering. Although it was more difficult to capture them alive than to kill them, it only took some effort, and Shen Yi and the others finally succeeded. Still managed to catch seven mutants easily.
After catching these seven people, Shen Yi called the little boy Jerry over.
He said to Jerry: "I know you don't believe me, but I can tell you clearly that now is the best opportunity to prove it. Now I have seven mutants in my hands. To be honest, I don't know whether they are good or not. Evil, do they deserve to die? You can help me identify them. If you tell me they don’t deserve to die, I will let them all go.”
Little Jerry looked at Shen Yi in surprise: "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Shen Yi nodded seriously: "But you'd better remember one thing: every time you ask me to let go of a mutant who doesn't deserve to die, you have to find at least two damn mutants for me. mutants. Otherwise..."
Shen Yi said softly: "I don't want to attack children, let alone innocent people, but you know there are some things in this world that you won't do unless you don't want to do them. If you dare to play tricks on me, I guarantee that it won't be you or anyone else. Mutants are bound to pay a higher price. Although I don't like doing that, I am by no means a fool who clings to principles and doesn't know how to adapt. Don't let my only bottom line be broken, okay?"
Jerry looked at Shen Yi tremblingly. He saw the seriousness written on Shen Yi's face.
He nodded in fear, and then looked at the seven captured mutants.
After a moment, he said: "None of them should die."
"Let them go." Shen Yi ordered in a deep voice.
"But..." Wei Na and others shouted at the same time.
"Let them go!" Shen Yi repeated sharply.
"That's what we found and captured!" Wei Na shouted: "You can't let them all go just because of one child, at least keep a few! We are only three points away... No, four points of killing value is enough We can get out of the last predicament! Four, leave us four, okay?"
Even though she knew why Shen Yi wanted to let people go, Weina still couldn't accept it emotionally. The West District and the South District were already so close, and the adventurers in both districts were frantically hunting mutants. Weina couldn't wait to wait. We saw that the Western District became third, but the Southern District continued to widen the gap.
Although there is still half the time before the competition, being able to leave earlier is a major psychological victory.
"I said...let them all go!" Shen Yi repeated again in a gloomy and cold tone.
Wei Na and others looked at each other, while An Wen and three people not far away remained silent. Perhaps they had learned a lesson from the poison dart incident, and they had begun to fear Shen Yi.
"Okay! Okay! It's all up to you!" Wei Na yelled helplessly.
Man, let go.
Shen Yi looked back at Jerry: "Do you believe me now?"
Jerry nodded anxiously.
"So... you owe me 14 mutants. Either you take me to find them, or you deceive me, and then I kill them."
