A few days before Christmas, there were many attacks by mutated humans in New York City.
No one knew why. Was it because the mutated humans lost control of their abilities, or was someone deliberately manipulating everything?
If it was a coincidence, then there were too many coincidences recently.
Because there were too many incidents recently, even the Spider-man was implicated.
The reason was simple. Because of the constant attacks, the conflict between normal people and mutated humans intensified.
Not far from the White House in Washington, there was also a small protest rally.
The content of the rally was about the promotion of the Mutated Human Act. The people strongly requested the president to sign a new presidential decree to enact the act.
This matter also received a lot of online media coverage and support.
Normal people's hatred of mutated humans continued to rise.
The latest poll showed that the number of people who hated mutated humans accounted for 65%.
Those who didn't like mutated humans accounted for 10%.
And those who didn't care accounted for 20%.
Those who were willing to be friends with mutated humans only accounted for 5%.
Under these circumstances, when the Spider-man Peter went out to be his city hero, he was mistaken for a mutated human.
Because it was difficult for Peter to explain to ordinary people how he got his ability.
It was not surprising that he was mistaken for a mutated human.
The truck driver he saved last time didn't appreciate Peter's kindness.
Instead, he insulted Peter. Although he was angry, the little spider finally forgave him.
Because he learned from the driver that the driver's wife was injured in the incident a few days ago and was still lying in the hospital.
And when the driver's anger subsided, he also apologized to Peter.
It could be imagined that with the current popularity of the Spider-man in New York, and the degree of good deeds he did, he would be misunderstood.
And the situation of the real mutated humans could be imagined. At this time, Li Jie thought of a new friend he met not long ago.
The mutated human Katie. He called the mutant to ask about Katie's current situation.
He learned that she was not implicated, and because of her ability, she could freely control it.
Therefore, no one would know that she was a mutant. Katie told Li Jie not to worry and invited Li Jie to visit her school in January.
For a moment, Li Jie wondered if Katie was studying at the school for mutants, the school for geniuses in the movie.
Please forgive Li Jie. After so many years, it was impossible for him to remember the name of a school in a movie.
If Katie studied in that school, it should be good because she was surrounded by mutants.
Moreover, it seemed that their principal was also a pretty good person.
Li Jie was currently browsing the Nightcrawler Alliance's website in the base. There was a heated discussion about whether the Spider-man was a mutant or not.
Fortunately, everyone expressed that even if the Spider-man was a mutant, they could still accept him.
Because he had been contributing to the city and saving many people.
Nightcrawler, on the other hand, was quite interesting. Almost no one thought that he was a mutant.
Because the battle that Nightcrawler was really famous for was the battle with the vampire on the viaduct.
At that time, he used a mechanical arm, and the scene was recorded by many people.
After that, he used technological equipment to fight many times.
Now, people on the Internet basically thought that he was an ordinary person who had received training.
Maybe he was physically strong, but more often than not, he used technological equipment to fight.
Moreover, everyone was discussing what kind of equipment he was using.
Some people believed that under his clothes, there were all kinds of biochemical prosthetics or something.
Seeing such comments, Li Jie could only smile.
Today was the day of another meeting. This time, the meeting was called by Li Jie.
The topic of discussion was the Mutants. Li Jie didn't like the chaos in New York, especially if there was a full-scale conflict between humans and Mutants, not to mention New York at that time.
At that time, let alone New York, the entire United States would not be safe.
Because Li Jie knew a thing or two about the strength of mutants from watching movies, and after being in this world for a long time, Li Jie also knew that some mutants might be stronger than in the movies in his previous life.
When the Spider-man Peter finally arrived at the base, everyone had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Sorry, it looks like I'm late." Peter glanced at the others who had arrived and said.
"Okay, sit down, Spider-man." Li Jie gestured for Peter to sit first.
Currently, the team had not expanded, but after the new year, Li Jie planned to recruit Harry.
But the prerequisite was that they needed to train Harry hard.
And Frank also said that he would bring a new teammate after the new year.
This was good news, the team would continue to grow in the future.
"Recently, there has been an inexplicable increase in the number of mutant attacks." Li Jie started with the main topic of the meeting.
"Our ability is limited, I'm afraid we can't do too much, but what do you think about the attack in New York?
"A little too often. That's not normal. The first to speak was Damon.
"When I was a policeman I had things like this, but they were usually very sporadic. Unless it was a case planned by a criminal organization of mutated humans, most mutated humans would restrain themselves.
"Yes, on my way here I saved a young man who was standing in the middle of the road and almost killed by a car. Peter said.
"Later on, I found out that this guy was a mutant. If he wanted to, he could have split the motorcycle that was charging at him in half.
But at that moment he panicked, not knowing whether he should do it or not. Peter shrugged, indicating that mutated humans weren't as bad as they were portrayed on TV.
Even in the face of life and death, they would hesitate between their own lives and the lives of others.
"Luckily he didn't split the others in half. Just wait, the president will issue a new law tomorrow." Frank shook his head.
Anything would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
"What do you think is the possibility that someone is behind this?" Mike, who had been silent, spoke up.
"It's quite possible. In the past few days, there have been at least twenty cases of mutant rampages in public in New York. And there might be other incidents that haven't been recorded. " The data Li Jie obtained was obtained by Ceng Chu through hacking into the NYPD.
"And all the mutants here have one thing in common, poverty."
"Most of them lost their jobs. Based on the data, they weren't born mutants, but awakened."
"Most of their lives were ruined after they awakened their abilities.
"But I have a question. If it's really done by someone, then what's their purpose in choosing these mutants?"
Li Jie voiced his doubt.
"Maybe to arouse sympathy." Everyone thought for a long time. The first to speak was retired police officer Damon.
Analyzing cases or clues was his specialty.
"Let's confirm that there's a mastermind behind all of this, and all he's doing so far is intensifying the conflict among the mutants."
"Then what if he wants to set up a fuse? Most mutants don't like their identity. "
"Especially those who awaken after adulthood. They don't really recognize their identity. And there are probably many of them. "
"And now, these mutants who have lost control of their bodies are all of this type, and their fates are also very tragic. Almost none of the mutants in the thirteen attacks survived. "
"They either committed suicide or were shot by the police when they arrived. Moreover, their reasons for appearing in public were very simple. They were all preparing for their families before Christmas.
"I think this will arouse the sympathy of many mutants, or even a common enemy." Damon shook his head.
"But I don't understand which side the mastermind is on."
"If he's on the side of the mutants, then he should know that these things will only make the situation of the mutants worse."
"If it's the radicals who want to exterminate the mutants, it's normal humans who are pushing for the bill. - "If he's on the radical side who wants to destroy the mutants and push for the bill, then he should also know that what he's doing might make the mutants more united."
Damon rubbed his temples. He couldn't tell what the real intention or the motive behind this was.
"What if the mastermind isn't on either side?" Li Jie's suggestion was a bit absurd.
After saying it, he didn't know how to continue.
But his words made everyone quiet down.
"If he isn't on either side, then the situation might be very bad. I don't want to face this kind of situation where someone instigates a fight and reaps the benefits in the end. " Frank said as he played with his dagger.
"But this is all just speculation. Frank, do you know who in the government hates the mutants?"
Li Jie suddenly remembered a big villain in a movie he watched in the past who was from the military. He forgot his name.
But in his memory, the general seemed to be crazy and would do anything to destroy the mutants.
So he specifically asked Frank about this.
"The government? There was a guy in the military who was very hostile to the mutants. His name was Stryker. He was a crazy old pervert. If it was him, then it was possible.
Li Jie's words reminded Frank that he did remember there was such a person in the military.
He was extremely crazy and would do anything to kill the mutants.
"I'll investigate whether that old pervert has anything to do with these things. I hate those who fan the flames behind the scenes and create chaos in the world just to achieve their own selfish desires." "I'll investigate whether that old pervert has anything to do with these things.
It seemed that Frank didn't have a good impression of Stryker.
No one wanted New York to really become chaotic because a chaotic New York wouldn't be good for anyone.
Everyone wanted to find out who was behind this. Everyone started assigning tasks. This matter needed more investigation.
When everyone's conversation was coming to an end, Ceng Chu, who had been silent, spoke for the first time.
"What if, and I mean what if, all of this is a coincidence? It's really just a group of people who lost control."
Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at him.
