Li Jie's attitude towards Mutants was a bit complicated. Because Mutants were not vampires, they should not be the mortal enemy of mankind.
And in fact, there was no completely irreconcilable conflict between normal people and Mutants, especially when Li Jie remembered the plot he had read before.
In fact, most people had the X gene in their bodies, but some people would never trigger this gene in their entire life. Instead, they would hide it, making them an ordinary person for the rest of their life.
But the X gene was inherited, which made it very likely that there would be children of Mutants in their offspring.
This was a paradox. If a person who was determined to oppose Mutants was actually a Mutant himself, but he had not triggered the mutation yet, then what should this person do?
What if one day he suddenly mutated? Or what if his child suddenly became a Mutant? Could he still insist that all Mutants were evil?
Li Jie did not know what these people were thinking, but the complexity of human nature was simply impossible to explore. Even if there was an omnipotent God in this world, he might not be able to truly understand the most complex things in human nature.
For example, the Mutant Hale that he saw that day, he mutated. He could not choose whether the mutation would happen or not, he could only accept it passively.
But this undoubtedly brought him more trouble. Even if he became a Mutant, he still hated Mutants, or rather, he hated this ability.
He had cost Halle his job, his family, and finally his life.
Through the police file, Li Jie knew that Hale had a child. He did not know what would happen to the child in the future. Although his father did not mean it, he did kill someone.
He was afraid that the crime of Mutant Murderer would always be carried by his father.
For some reason, Li Jie came to this block with a box of Captain America toys. This was the edge of Queens, near Brooklyn.
The houses here looked relatively old, but the community looked very clean. It should be because the residents here were not rich, but they were very self-disciplined.
Hale's home was here, a small bungalow, and Hale's child was temporarily living here, looked after by the community volunteers for a few days.
After a period of time, after the procedures were completed, the child would be handed over to the orphanage, and the property would be repossessed by the government due to the property tax arrears.
Li Jie's gift was a box of high-end American soldier dolls, worth more than 400 dollars. Even when Hale was still working, he was not willing to spend so much money on such high-end toys for his children.
When Li Jie knocked on Halle's door, a kind-looking middle-aged woman opened the door. "You are?"
The woman did not know who Li Jie was. As a social worker in the community, she had seen all the residents in the community.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I heard about Halle, but the boy is innocent. I'm just here to express my goodwill. "Li Jie pointed at the gift in his hand and stated his intentions.
"You really are a kind person." The middle-aged woman's tone contained a kind of emotion. "It's just that after what happened to Hale, no one has come to see poor little Kain."
"Hale is a kind person. He was originally a skilled mechanic. Even if he is really a mutant, I don't believe he would really kill people. There must be some misunderstanding here." The middle-aged woman opened the door and let Li Jie in.
"Now no one comes to see poor little Kain. The child is innocent, and it's not good for everyone to do this." With the middle-aged woman leading the way, Li Jie came to Kain's room.
In fact, all the furnishings in the house were very simple. It was obvious that the father and son did not have a very good life before this.
Only Kain's room seemed to have some decorations. The blue wallpaper was printed with yellow Xingxing and the moon. This should have been a very warm room.
However, the owner of the room looked very unhappy. Li Jie saw a thin little boy standing at the window of his room, looking out.
According to the information, this little boy should be thirteen years old. At the end of this year, he would be a fourteen-year-old boy.
However, he looked much thinner than his peers. He looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. His black hair drooped listlessly on his head.
His brown eyes did not have any liveliness and liveliness that a child of this age should have.
He heard the sound of the door opening and just stared blankly at Li Jie as he walked in. There was no expression on his face.
"My dear, someone is here to see you." The middle-aged woman looked at Kain like this, and there was a sense of heartache in her voice.
"Are you also here to blame my father? Are you also here to laugh at me! Am I the child of a murderer?! "Kain's sudden rage was very sudden.
This sudden outburst shocked Li Jie and the middle-aged woman.
Li Jie was quite tall, so he quickly walked in front of Kain and half-squatted down so that his eyes were level with Kain.
"Your father is not a murderer, I promise. He did not do it on purpose. Believe me, I was there at the time. "
As Li Jie spoke, he quietly put his hand on Kain's shoulder. A small amount of gentle inner qi circulated in Kain's body. Since the last battle with the Hand, Li Jie found that his inner qi had the effect of calming one's mood.
The inner qi circulated in Kain's body. After a while, he looked a little better. He did not have that kind of frightening anger.
Just now, even his facial features were distorted. This kind of emotion was not good for a child's growth.
"Your father was a good person. He did not want to hurt anyone. He only wanted to buy you a toy. He did not want to hurt anyone," Li Jie said after seeing Kain calm down a little.
"Then why did the police shoot him!" Kain did not seem to know about Hale's death. He thought that the police shot his father. Tears were welling up in his eyes.
"Everything was an accident, Kain. Everything was an accident," Li Jie explained, feeling a little sorry for the little boy.
"Your father unintentionally hurt other people. He felt guilty, even if it was an accident. But he chose to take responsibility for his own mistakes. "
"This is the toy your father bought for you. Look. He had already paid for it at the time, but it was a pity that he did not have the chance to give it to you in person. "
"But I was there at the time. I helped you get it. Now I give it to you. This is a box of Captain America's Soldier. I think it must be because your father wanted you to be as strong as Captain America. "
As Li Jie said this, he took out the box of high-end toys he bought and handed it to Kain.
"Do you like Captain America?" Kain nodded.
"Then can you follow your idol as a role model? Strong and optimistic. Even in the face of great setbacks and difficulties, you will not be defeated. "
"Steve from back then? Captain Rogers and his team were trapped in the snow for a week without food or water, but they held on and finally beat the Nazis. "
"Can you be as strong as Captain America?" Li Jie looked at Kain and asked.
Kaine nodded. "My grandfather was also a fighter. He said that he had fought side by side with Captain America. Together, they broke through the Nazi lair in Sweden."
"Then you should have the blood of a hero in your body. You should learn from your grandfather. He must have encountered a lot of difficulties in the war."
"Kain, now your life is a little difficult for the time being, but everything will be fine. Promise me to be a hero in life, okay?" Li Jie talked to Kain in an equal manner.
"Like Spider-man?" Kain finally showed a smile.
"Yes, like Spider-man." Li Jie made a high-five gesture. Kain stretched out his small palm and clapped with Li Jie.
When Li Jie and Kain were about to leave after chatting for a while, Kain stopped him.
"Thank you, Jason. Although I know you are lying to me, and my dad can't afford such an expensive toy, I am still very grateful to you. Next time I can invite Ruhr to play with me."
Li Jie smiled. He was not embarrassed because his lie was exposed. Instead, he asked with a smile. "Is Ruhr your partner?"
"Yes, his grandfather and my grandfather were comrades in arms. They both kicked the Nazi's ass." Kain made a kicking gesture, which made Li Jie laugh.
"So you can go to Ruhr's house next time?"
"Maybe we will go to the same orphanage. Ruhr's father also died a few days ago when he went out of town." Kain's words were a little sad.
"Because he also became a mutant two years ago, but he could control his ability, so he still had a job. But this time when he went out of town, his mutant ability went out of control, and then he was shot by the police."
But this sentence made Li Jie's heart skip a beat. He seemed to have grasped something, but he didn't quite understand it.
The day after he left Kain's house, all the procedures for Kain had been completed. He would be transferred to an orphanage to be raised.
When the nuns of the orphanage were about to take Kain away, Kain suddenly stopped. He told the nuns that he still had an important toy that he hadn't taken. The nuns had to let him go home and get it first.
Kain went to the garage behind the house. There was a basement there, which was used to store things in the house. He climbed down the stairs skillfully.
He found what he was looking for in a box in the corner. It was wrapped tightly in a black cloth. Kain opened the black cloth and took it out after checking that it was intact.
From the part that was exposed in the black cloth, it was a green demon mask with a metallic luster. Kain held the mask and smiled, then wrapped it up again.
As the nuns left the home where she had lived for more than ten years, Kain would also start a new life.
In the Nightcrawler's base, Li Jie was asking the hacker Ceng Chu to find something according to his own ideas.
