When animals encounter danger, their hair will explode and their hair will stand on end. This is an instinctive manifestation of life in the face of crisis.
This phenomenon also occurs when people encounter danger.
But for Shen Yi, this kind of phenomenon has never happened since he entered the bloody city.
Until now.
It was an instinctive, beast-like intuition that had nothing to do with his thoughts.
He felt that every pore in his body was expanding and his hairs stood on end, as if death was imminent.
On the other side of the pier, five people stood.
The leader was an old man in sixties with a thin face, deep eyes, and a strange helmet.
"Magneto."
These words popped out of Shen Yi's mouth softly.
Even without using mental detection skills, Shen Yi already knew who the old man in front of him was.
Magneto, one of the most powerful mutants in the X-Men world, suddenly appeared at this time.
Shen Yi knows exactly how strong Magneto is.
Wherever there is metal, it is equivalent to this guy's domain.
Any metal can become his shield, his sword, and an omnipotent weapon in his hands.
Shen Yi may not be afraid of such enemies, but he never wants to provoke them easily.
Unlike Count Dracula, killing Count Dracula is a fixed task, and there are obvious rewards and rewards after killing it. Although the risks are huge, the rewards are also great. Don't expect to do well in killing Magneto. s return.
This time it is a competition task, and competition ranking is the greatest expression of value.
Shen Yi doesn't mind taking risks, but he definitely doesn't mind taking worthless risks.
In other words, the risk is not valuable enough.
Therefore, let alone Magneto, he doesn't even want to mess with characters like Storm and Wolverine.
The reason is that the effort and reward are not directly proportional.
However, instead of looking for trouble, trouble found him.
Magneto came without warning.
Hearing Shen Yi's soft call, Magneto also showed a surprised expression on his face.
"You ever met me?"
"You are a celebrity."
"Then I can skip the process of introducing myself."
Magneto waved his hand gently, and the roof of a car flew to his feet, carrying him to Shen Yi's side.
It seems that if he wants, he can turn this big piece of iron sheet into his flying carpet at any time.
Shen Yi glanced around at random, and he didn't know when the area was full of mutants, and the entire dock was controlled by them. But in this seemingly random action, Shen Yi had quietly used mental detection on the other party. .
"Magneto Eric, a level 5 mutant. Power: Metal control. Evaluation: Possessing extremely advanced metal control abilities."
Unsurprisingly, Shen Yi was able to obtain very little information about Magneto, and even did not know the opponent's vitality. Unexpectedly, the mental exploration actually gave an evaluation that had never been done before.
Could this be the special effect brought about by the talent bonus? Shen Yi didn't know, but he knew that just from the detailed analysis of the data, one could imagine how powerful the old man in front of him was.
He is by no means the old man in the movie who has powerful metal control ability but is instantly killed by a touch.
At this moment, Magneto slowly walked off the iron carpet and looked at the young man in front of him with interest.
Although this old man is old, he is quite majestic in his movements. His movements are slow and natural, which is a sign of extreme confidence. His eyes are resolute and cold, indicating that he is quite conceited.
He looked at Shen Yi, and after a moment he said in his unique low voice: "It's so interesting, you are not a mutant, but you have more power than a mutant. I used to think that mutants were the only evolutionary direction of human beings, but now You showed me a new branch."
In the eyes of Magneto Eric, mutants are the ultimate expression of future human evolution.
In his view, the future world must be dominated by mutants.
Human beings cannot accept the rise of mutants, and mutants long for treatment that matches their abilities. The old forces want to maintain their original status, and the new forces try to get more, at least as good as the old forces. This difference in status leads to There is an inevitable conflict, just like the authors hate piracy, but the readers are right and justified. Everyone is justified. It is entirely due to differences in understanding caused by different butts.
The change in strength caused by racial differentiation is the root of the conflict between humans and mutants. From this point of view, this conflict is inevitable and unavoidable.
In contrast, the peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants that Professor
The reason why humans launched a war against mutants was also because they realized that as the mutant population expanded, their influence was growing and they truly threatened the existence of the human government.
In time, mutants truly become the masters of this world, and humans may only become slaves.
New racism will be born as a result, and like capitalist socialism, it will become a new banner for future social development.
It sounds mysterious, but with the soil of survival, any strange seeds may bloom and bear fruit.
This is understandable when you think about what happened to black people in the past.
Therefore, mankind resolutely launched a war against mutants when they were still strong. They may be on the unjust side now, but in the future they may be the saviors of mankind.
Considering history and human nature, this is entirely possible.
The oppression caused by the overflow of abilities is more terrifying than the oppression by power. At least power oppression is only the evil behavior of a few people, but the overflow of abilities means the atrocities of the general public.
Of course, from Magneto's perspective, the problem is much simpler: mutants are the ultimate expression of human evolution, but stupid humans are trying to prevent this evolution and try to oppress mutants. This unjust behavior will naturally be punished To resist, to fight.
But the appearance of the adventurers made this originally simple confrontation suddenly become complicated.
A group of strange, mutant-like people with super powers launched an almost crazy attack on mutants... They were like mutants, but not like mutants. Their abilities were not as single and pure as mutants. , are more diverse, but their performance is closer to human beings than mutants. They attack mutants, but have nothing to do with the human government. They can come and go freely without restraint, and their behaviors are also different... They Snipe and kill mutants, and even kill each other.
That's exactly why Magneto is here.
At this moment, he looked at Shen Yi and said word by word: "Who are you?"
He did not ask why he wanted to kill the mutants, nor did he passionately accuse the other party to show the mutants' innocence. He simply asked who you are, but these words made Shen Yi's heart tremble.
This old man is far more sober than those seen in movies.
What he was thinking about was no longer ordinary grudges, but issues related to the future development direction of mutants.
Unfortunately he was wrong.
Shen Yi said lightly: "We have no necessary connection with you, let alone the new direction of human development and evolution that you think. In fact, we people are just taking a death train to hell, and here, it is just A stop we need to pass through.”
The "here" that Shen Yi refers to refers to the entire X-Men world, but Magneto understands it as New York.
He frowned slightly: "Can I understand that you are a group of mercenaries? Entrusted by others? So you go around hunting mutants?"
The work of mercenaries is like embarking on a death train tour through hell.
At each stop, tourists get on and off the bus.
Some of them got off the bus and never got back on.
There is no end to the train, it is constantly traveling through hell, and getting on and off the train are always happening. No matter how long you stay on the train, hell is your eternal destination.
Magneto is a wise old man, so he immediately heard Shen Yi's last resort.
They did not kill mutants out of hatred or any other reason, which explains why Shen Yi and the others would let Little Jerry go and even come to save him now.
Hearing Magneto's question, Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "That's understandable."
"So who hired you?"
"destiny."
"destiny?"
"Yes, fate. You and I are enemies. This is fate's decision. You cannot defy it unless fate changes its mind."
"This is simply ridiculous. Destiny is not will. What I'm asking is who instigated you to do this!" A thin layer of anger showed on Magneto's face.
Shen Yi shrugged: "Truth is often harder to believe than lies, but it is the truth. Maybe you don't believe it, but I know that including you appearing here, including the war you are engaged in, and even your ideals, your Ability is also secretly controlled by fate. You, me, and everyone here are all controlled by fate. Destiny exists, and it has a will, just like you have the ability to control metal. , you are invincible. Do you think this is really what you were born with? No, Mr. Eric, it was given to you by fate. And we are also creatures of fate. The difference is...we were determined to be you by fate. enemies."
"This is why we are here." Looking at Magneto, Shen Yi said coldly: "You want an answer, and this is the answer."
"Unfortunately, it's not what I want. Maybe I should ask in another way." Magneto shook his head, his fingers slightly hooked, and a car flew over Shen Yi's head. The whole car started to deform in the air, Twisted, as if there was some strong external force squeezing it, twisting the car into a twist, forming a huge iron rod in the air, and its front end was even twisted into the shape of a gun tip...
Shen Yi looked at the deformed super-large iron gun in the air and sighed softly.
Magneto's metal control ability is so powerful that he can barely create Transformers artificially.
Facing such a terrifying opponent, Shen Yi showed no fear and simply said: "The reason why I answer your question, Mr. Eric, is not because I am afraid of you, but because I did not deceive you on this issue." necessary. If you think that tying me up and grilling me on a barbecue grill can change my answer, then I regret to tell you that you are wrong. No matter now or in the future, no matter how the ending changes, the answer will always be It won’t change, the only thing that changes is you and me.”
As he spoke, a sharp light flashed across Shen Yi's eyes, making Magneto tremble.
The next moment, he saw a bundle of explosives suddenly appear in Shen Yi's hand.
Trigger yellow explosive, a common reward obtained after killing mutants.
Magneto's face changed drastically, and Shen Yi said coldly: "You'd better not move, otherwise we will all be destroyed together."
