It was already eight o 'clock in the evening. For the students of Xavier School, they were either doing homework in the library. Or they were looking for something to play in the common room to pass the time. Because the school's light out time was ten o 'clock at night.
So there was still enough time for the children to play and have fun at night. But at this time, there were no Student Union members on the lawn of the campus. Because why would they go to the lawn at night?
Paul asked Dai Ken out of the common room, and the two took a walk on the school's lawn. Because the school was located in the suburbs of New York, it was considered a relatively remote place, and the light pollution here was not as severe as in New York.
So when the weather was good at night, people could still see a lot of Xingxing when they looked up. Relying on the twinkling stars in the sky, Paul and Dai Ken walked to a bench by the lawn and sat down.
Because Paul said he had some little secrets about Katie, Dai Ken didn't think much about it and followed him out. Although Dai Ken came to the mutated human school, he had a group of classmates who had the same identity as him and were of the same age.
But he was still not good at communicating with people. Because of the experience in the past fifteen years, it made him a little closed off, which was understandable.
But it was strange, he didn't know why. Dai Ken felt that Paul was a little different from the others. In the few times they met, Paul won Deacon's favor. The two hit it off right away and had a good conversation.
For example, about his secret love for Katie, Dai Ken didn't plan to tell his father, Wolverine. Instead, he inadvertently revealed this in a casual conversation with Paul.
When you unintentionally reveal your secret to someone, you actually trust that person more in your heart.
And Dai Ken had a similar kind of trust for Paul. People often didn't have a lot of logic in their interactions. There weren't many reasons that could be explained, such as Dai Ken and Paul.
"My impulsiveness caused you trouble last time, I apologize." Dai Ken was telling Paul about the time when he was hot-headed and wanted to kill Li Jie on campus.
Paul shook his head. "No need to apologize, it's nothing. If my beloved girl was snatched away, I would also go crazy and want to kill the person who snatched her. But your reaction was too intense, I really didn't think about it at the time. And that's why you're in confinement. "
Dai Ken shrugged. "It's nothing. I'm used to being locked up. I've been through things worse than this. "
Paul smiled and sighed as he looked at the starry sky. "You know what, Deacon. In fact, people like us, mutants like us, are very difficult to integrate into society. "
"There will always be all kinds of people harassing us. There are those who are afraid, those who have bad intentions towards us, and even those who want to gain some benefits from us. The world is not very fair to us mutants. It can even be said that it is cruel to us! "Dai Ken agreed with what Paul said.
This was because he had experienced far crueler things than this. To him, even his own mother could not be trusted. The malice of this world towards him could be imagined.
If it wasn't for Logen's appearance, who took him away from the East Ocean … Dai Ken did not know how long he could last in that kind of place. The crazy and painful life was tormenting him every moment.
Perhaps one day, his taut nerves would suddenly snap. After that, he would become a soulless puppet at the mercy of others.
Dai Ken did not want to remember this kind of life. For him, the current life was what he wanted. He had a father, although he did not know how to express his fatherly love. But at least he was much better than the Truth Child.
And there was a group of his companions here, although not everyone could be friends. But because everyone was a mutant, there would be no discrimination or fear when they were together.
This was a comfortable and reassuring life. Plus the beautiful girl, Katie. The moment he saw Katie again. Dai Ken was sure, from that second onwards. In the future, every beat of his heart would be a timer for this encounter.
For the rest of his life, every time he woke up in the morning, it was to see this girl's smile again.
She was the morning dew on the petals in the morning, she was the morning star in the night sky. She was the most mouth-watering honey in the world, she was the last orchid in the empty valley.
Like the stars accompanying the sun and moon. Like the white clouds decorating the blue sky. Like the rivers will eventually return to the sea. Like the birds that fly will land.
When a moment becomes an eternity, when a glance back becomes a vow.
Her laughter is the morning bell and evening drum in my heart, her light and pleasant steps are the most moving dance steps in the world.
I fall for you, I make an eternal vow for you. Like a knight swearing loyalty to the empire, I will not retreat on the road for you, until my body is trampled under the feet of others.
My soul will eventually return to your side, and you are my everything. My goddess, Katie.
Dai Ken's love was repressed, but it was unusually passionate. It was hard to tell if this had anything to do with his lack of love and care over the years.
Paul looked up at the sky and continued. "You and I are different from the other students in this school. We are the same people, Dai Ken. I know very well that when I first saw you, I had this feeling. "
Dai Ken's eyes glanced at Paul.
"I've killed people," Paul said in an understated tone. "My adoptive parents were the ones I killed. My parents abandoned me when they found out I was a mutant. Then the government threw me to my adoptive parents. "
"If it wasn't because of the adoption, I could get some subsidies from the government. I'm afraid they wouldn't even adopt me. They treated me badly, "Paul said with a smile. He didn't elaborate on how badly his adoptive parents treated him.
"Then, when my ability became stronger, I killed them. Normal people and mutants can't coexist peacefully. I always believed that only mutants can save other mutants. "
"Do you know how Katie got to know that Jason?" Paul finally got to the point where he asked Deacon to come out. He wanted to know more about Katie.
"What happened?" Dai Ken was interested to know more about Katie.
"I heard it from her best friend. Katie used to work in a coffee shop. Later, because of the widespread condemnation of the Mutants, she lost her job. "Paul said in a low voice.
"She unwittingly revealed her abilities. This caused the customers in the coffee shop to discriminate against her. They were afraid of her and even wanted to hurt her! "
Dai Ken subconsciously clenched his fist when he heard someone wanted to hurt Katie.
"At that time, the man named Jason stood up and helped her solve the problem. That's why Katie was so close to this man in the first place. "Dai Ken felt a little regretful after Paul said this.
He probably didn't have the chance to save the damsel in distress anymore. Also, because he tried to kill Li Jie in front of Katie, Katie had a bad impression of him.
If Katie bumped into Dai Ken in the hallway, she would definitely take a detour. If she couldn't avoid him, she would pretend that he didn't exist in this world.
To be honest, Katie felt like she was already controlling herself. Li Jie was her best friend. Katie felt like she should have found a chance to beat Dai Ken up.
However, Dai Ken was already feeling down because Katie ignored him.
"Unfortunately, I wasn't there," Dai Ken said helplessly.
"Even if you were there, what's the use?" Paul's tone was self-deprecating. "You are also a mutant, did you want to kill those people on the spot? Then you would be wanted. "
"In the end, you would be arrested along with Katie. If you are lucky, the state court might sentence you to death. If you are unlucky, they might throw you into a lab as a test subject. What can you do? "
Paul's words made Dai Ken very depressed. He didn't know how to respond.
"I like my life like this, Dai Ken. Every day at school, with my classmates. With my friends, with the people I like. This is a good life. I don't want anyone to ruin it. "Dai Ken nodded at Paul's words.
"I don't like this life to be disturbed, Paul. This is the life I want. "
Paul listened to Dai Ken's words and smiled noncommittally. "But some people don't want us to live a stable life like this. Do you know McCauley? "
"My father occasionally mentioned him, but I don't know." Dai Ken shook his head.
"Yeah, Professor Charles wants to turn this place into a greenhouse. He wants us flowers to grow here safely. But just because the greenhouse is isolated from the wind and rain doesn't mean the wind and rain don't exist. "Paul began to explain.
"McCauley, a guy who hates mutants. He has a lot of influence on the government and has a lot of power in the media. He has been pushing for a bill. His so-called Mutant Management Bill! "Paul's voice was clenched.
"But that so-called Mutant Management Bill has nothing to do with the Jewish concentration camp seventy years ago. The only time Katie revealed her identity as a mutant was because she was scared by McCauley's speech on TV. "
Dai Ken frowned when he heard this.
"I said, I like this life, Dai Ken." Deacon, "Paul said in a very firm way.
"At the same time, I only believe that only mutants can save other mutants. I don't put my hopes on others. I want the people I like to live in a land that makes the lives of mutants safe. "
"We need to do something about this. I'll be honest with you. McCauley is talking about his Mutant Management Bill on TV. If you go online and look it up, I think you should be able to find out everything. "
"He wants to put me, you, and Katie. Put everyone like us in a cage and watch over us, and then wait for us to die. We should do something about it. "
"Professor Charles is a good man, but he always puts his hopes on others. I think we should go do something. "
Paul's eyes were shining with faith. "Mutants should fight for mutants!"
Dai Ken asked quietly. "Then what do you want to do?"
