Mike was going to do something big. He had never received any attention in his life.
Whether it was when he was at school or after he worked.
He was always the one who was ignored. At school, he was always the one who ran errands and bought drinks for his classmates on field trips, and was ignored.
At the company, he was always the one who was given the most work and never promoted.
Today, he decided that he couldn't do that anymore. He was going to do something earth-shattering so that all of America would remember him, the great Mike.
Of course, he made some preparations before doing something big, such as buying a silver necklace that was said to be a Nazi war trophy.
He believed that the hero of the war would bring him good luck.
The Osborne Group was previously responsible for the greater New York area (which included the surrounding satellite cities radiating from New York). One-third of the electricity supply.
Max, on the other hand, had been inspecting the pipelines. He knew very well where the relay point of each circuit was.
He also knew how to paralyze these lines. He wanted to show those who didn't value him the importance of Mike.
But poor Mike might have overlooked one point, which was that the more unstable the grid lines were, the less safe they were.
This would boost the sales of Stark's new energy module as soon as possible.
After all, this energy module didn't require the expensive construction of substations and UHV lines.
Maybe he knew, but it didn't matter. He had prepared a head-mounted video camera for himself. He wanted to record everything he did.
Then he would upload it online and let the world know what he had done! It had to be said that sometimes cowardly and lowly people could be more powerful than those who looked fierce.
Li Jie knew nothing about this. Who was Mike? Well, maybe he had seen the Extraordinary Spider-man in his previous life. He probably knew that there was such a villain, but he was too weak in the movie and didn't leave any impression on Li Jie at all.
He wasn't as memorable as the two generations of the Osborns, The Green Devils.
And please, Li Jie hadn't had a good rest these days. All kinds of things happened one after another, and he had been busy.
He had long forgotten about the little villain that might be lurking in the Osborne Group.
Well, if Mike could be forgotten as a villain, could it be that he was actually a mutant, and his ability was to reduce his presence?
Li Jie is driving to the Xavier School, while Loki goes to the shop where he saw the silver necklace with the smell of Asgard last time.
"Sold?" Loki frowned a little, although he couldn't tell which god the necklace belonged to.
However, as a member of the Immortal Palace, Rocky was prepared to take back the necklace. However, it was just a coincidence that the silver necklace was sold just one day later.
"Can you describe the buyer?" Loki asked the shop owner.
"Eh? I can't remember what that person looks like. Although he just came, I'm sorry, but that client seems to be easily forgotten. "It seemed that Mike's passive skill had been triggered again.
Loki was a little upset. The weapon he was carrying now was the real sword, which was usually stored in the magic space when it was not used.
Although it was a very powerful artifact, once the sword was pulled out, it was enough to make the gods under Odin avoid its edge.
But for Loki, it was not a convenient weapon, because his ability was a magician, although he also had good melee ability.
But Loki was better at Mind Magic and Illusion. And now because of the real sword, Loki could not use his best Mind Magic, so he could not peek into the depths of the shop owner's heart to see what the customer looked like.
New York was so big, it would be difficult to find this necklace. Loki sighed and was ready to give up the search. Anyway, it was not very important, so it didn't matter.
Li Jie's car drove for nearly an hour before arriving at the address of the Xavier School.
"Hey! Jason is here! "Katie had been waiting for Li Jie at the intersection early.
"I'm so happy that you can come to the open house, especially after you know that this school is specially opened for mutants," Katie said, a little touched.
"Of course, we're friends. Plus, the school always invites family and friends to the party during the open house. I'm sure you'll feel uncomfortable and weird if no one comes to keep you company." Li Jie smiled and patted Katie on the shoulder.
Katie also had a smile on her face, but it was bitter. "Jason, in fact, most of the students can't invite their friends or even family here."
Li Jie and Katie walked side by side on the road to the school gate. This school was the old house of Professor X, Charles Xavier.
It was a very beautiful old manor with a rich pastoral style. As a school, the density of the vegetation here was very high, it could even be regarded as a park.
But Li Jie was attracted by Katie's words, and he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery here. "What do you mean by that, Katie?"
"You know, it's difficult for us to make friends with normal people as long as we expose our ability." Katie pointed at herself.
"Not everyone is as willing to accept mutants like you, even if it's a mutant's parents. Especially when some mutant children have obvious physical defects or can't control their destructive power. Some parents are born to discriminate against mutants, even if it's their own child, they will find ways to get rid of it. "
"But that's not your fault, is it? I remember when you called me, you said that the school can teach you to control your power, so you won't lose control. "Li Jie and Katie had already walked to the school gate.
"And I heard that mutants don't just appear suddenly. Most of the time, it's caused by the X gene that's inherited."
"The X gene in a child's body is inherited from their parents, which means that their parents are actually also mutants, maybe they just haven't broken out yet."
"As the child's parents or family, they also have the X gene in their body. What right do they have to discriminate against their own people?" Li Jie's words were very clear. Everyone could be a mutant.
Discriminating against or closely monitoring mutants was a stupid thing to do.
"You're right. Few young people have such a clear vision." A magnetic voice came from the side.
It was an old man dressed neatly and had an extraordinary appearance. Even though he was in a wheelchair, he still showed an extraordinary posture.
"This is our professor, Professor Charles." Katie introduced him to Li Jie.
There was no need for Katie to introduce too much. Li Jie knew who this was just by looking at him. Across the entire mutant series of movies.
Professor X, the leader of mutants who established the X-Men and committed to peaceful coexistence between mutants and normal people.
"Hello, Professor." Li Jie politely shook hands with Charles. He had always admired this kind of person who had great power and upheld morality.
With the professor's strength, if he wanted to, he could completely change the ideology of humans around the world. Just like hypnosis, he could set mutants as the mainstream values of the world.
Normal humans were failures on the path of evolution and were destined to be eliminated.
However, Professor X had never done this. Even though he had suffered a lot of blows and troubles, he still stuck to his bottom line and did not do evil.
While Li Jie was visiting the mutant school, Loki was about to leave the shop that sold lucky charms and jewelry. Since the silver necklace was gone, he was not interested in the other things in the shop.
"Wait, if you are interested because it is a Nazi trophy, I have another thing here." The shop owner stopped Loki and at the same time, took out a silver ring.
"This is also an accessory made from the silver seized from the Nazis, but it is more expensive than the necklace. It is twenty dollars."
Hmm? Another thing with the smell of Asgard? Could it be that an Asgardian god had fallen in the Midgard, and his treasure was discovered?
Loki picked up the ring and played with it. Just as Loki was bargaining with the shop owner.
In a substation in New York, Mike secretly installed a device that had been prepared long ago.
As a former electric worker, he knew what kind of gadgets could overload or short circuit the current.
In the past two hours, he had installed these gadgets in several important substation hubs in New York.
These hubs were originally under the jurisdiction of the Osborne Group before. He was very clear about the patrol time here. After all, he had done this before.
He had set the time for all the gadgets, and now it was time for the performance.
At this moment, Mike was like a superstar about to perform on the center of the stage. The spotlight was ready for him, just waiting for the moment he went on stage.
"Time's up." Mike looked at his watch and said softly.
As his voice fell, many substation boxes in New York had problems at the same time.
The instruments that measured the intensity of the current were overloaded in an instant, and all the protective measures were activated at the same time, cutting off all the transmission lines.
The huge current carried by the ultra-high voltage lines had no suitable vent window in an instant, but the powerful current supply was not cut off at the same time.
Many expensive ultra-high voltage lines were burned in an instant, and many valuable electrical equipment was penetrated by the current.
With New York as the center, the destruction of the entire transmission and transformation network caused a terrible chain reaction.
All of New York City went crazy waiting for the Electric Power Bureau. Countless red lights went off and the entire power network was destroyed.
The wave of blackouts first started in the Bronx, where the circuit was the most aging, then spread to Queens, and then Manhattan.
The frenzy of the blackout spread all over New York, and this was just the beginning. With New York as the center, the damaged lines expanded in a chain reaction.
Atlantic City, New Jersey City, and Buffalo were all plunged into blackouts.
Once there was a shortage of energy in modern society, the drawbacks that would occur were exposed in this blackout.
Not every hospital had a UPS backup power supply, and more than 300 important clinical surgeries were carried out at the same time in New York every day.
The instantaneous blackout put the lives of many critically ill patients in jeopardy.
What was worse was the traffic. The sudden loss of traffic lights caused a sharp increase in traffic accidents in the greater New York area. The chain of rear-end accidents caused countless deaths.
The factories near New York also had countless scrap reports because of the blackout. It was unknown how many precision parts that had to be processed in one go, which cost millions of dollars, were scrapped.
As the world's financial center, Wall Street had always been the world's most important financial center. The slightest movement here was enough to affect the direction of the world economy.
The New York Stock Exchange was also affected by the blackout. Although the UPS backup power supply was quickly turned on and the entire blackout lasted less than three seconds, these three seconds caused hundreds of dollars of wealth to evaporate in an instant.
Max, the instigator of all this, was laughing maniacally.
"Hahahaha! Let the world witness the greatness of Mike! "His smile had a kind of morbid madness. He had a morbid desire for attention, whether the attention was good or bad.
As long as someone looked at him, he would feel happy. He was jealous of those who could always attract the attention of others.
Behind his crazy laughter, he did not notice that a high-voltage power line that had been burned due to overload was coming at him.
With sparks and electric arcs, it hit Mike, who was laughing wildly.
The powerful high-voltage electricity instantly turned Mike into a piece of black charcoal.
But his death could not make up for the loss caused by his madness.
Sometimes, the world was like this. An insignificant person could always do extraordinary things.
