Selina gazed at the faint light in the car, admiring the sparkling and translucent diamond in her hand. Under the light, the light refracted by the diamond was enough to make any woman scream, but it belonged to Selina alone. Just this point alone was enough to make 90% of the women in the world envious of Miss Master Thief.
In front of the car window, at the edge of the desert at dusk, Saber and Xia Sen stood in the barren sand. They seemed to be talking about something, but Selena didn't care at all. During this time, she seemed to have become Saber's personal chauffeur, especially after Saber couldn't drive. She had been driving Saber everywhere.
Frankly speaking, Selena didn't hate doing this. She had a vague good impression of Seiber, but she didn't really like him. However, when she was with Seiber, her sense of security was maxed out. Furthermore, she could always see some amazing scenery, such as Mephisto. If she hadn't met Seiber, she probably wouldn't have been able to see a real living devil in her life.
Now, not only did she see it, but she also escaped from the demon's claws with her life. This was an epic achievement.
Saber didn't hate this good-natured, beautiful, and sensible female chauffeur. He liked to stay with acquaintances, which gave him a familiar sense of security. Now, he stood at the edge of the desert covered by the light of dusk, feeling the warm wind from the desert, and let it blow his hair.
He held the black cane with both hands. The weight of that thing was definitely not right. Just by placing it on the sand, it felt like it was sinking.
Xia Sen looked at the big boss next to him with a complicated expression. He had lived a peaceful life for 19 years. Coming from Nebraska, he had an enviable family. He existed as a good student from a young age until he entered the big city of New York and became a college student. In his confused and indulgent youth, he was ready to enter society and become a responsible person.
But all of this was completely ruined on the night of his 19th birthday. Xia Sen, who had spent a sweet night with his girlfriend, didn't know what happened that night. When he woke up in the morning, he found a black energy arc jumping back and forth around him. Next to him was his girlfriend, who was almost cut into three pieces. The poor girl had already fainted. Xia Sen was at a loss and was almost beaten to death when he escaped from the house. Then, he met Saber.
Magneto's instrument activated the X gene hidden in his body, but it couldn't change Xia Sen's mentality. In this world, not everyone was willing to live peacefully with the Mutants. Xia Sen was one of those more radical people, and now, he had become the kind of person he hated the most. This change almost made him commit suicide in despair.
The series of uncooperative events that followed were pardonable. Xia Sen felt that turning into a Mutant had almost ruined his life.
He looked at Saber. In the past month, he had learned what the name Saber meant to The Devil Gang. The man in front of him with his eyes closed almost ruled a third of Gotham, and had a group of Mutant followers who were loyal to him. As long as he gave the order, whether it was the gloomy Santos or the irritable Alanak, they would immediately rush to tear him apart.
But he chose to bring Xia Sen out of the city, standing in the desert at this time of the day. Was there something wrong with his head?
The expected beatings, interrogation, and even murder did not happen. This balanced treatment made Xia Sen a little confused, but the unknown made him more worried and anxious.
"You can go."
Saber stood in the wind for a while, took out a cigarette, and waved at Xia Sen. "Don't tell anyone about us. Go back to your normal world. As long as you don't actively show your ability, you can live peacefully until the day you die. A talent that is at least beta level, what a pity …"
After that, he shook his head and walked to the car parked on the side. Xia Sen's mind was in a mess, and he subconsciously shouted.
"Wait!"
"Hmm?"
Saber turned his head, still with his eyes closed, but there was an unconcealable confusion on his face. "Is there anything else?"
"You … Why are you doing this?"
Xia Sen asked nervously. "Shouldn't you kill me to prevent future trouble?"
"Future trouble? You? "
Saber laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. "Do you know what level my opponent is? You call yourself a future trouble? Do you … deserve it? "
Saber's voice turned cold at the end of his sentence. He waved his hand as if he was chasing away trash.
"Go, go back to your human world, be a nine-to-five office worker, pretend to be busy in a city where you can never afford to buy a house, spend the rest of your life with a woman who may not love you, and have a child who is neither stupid nor smart. Refuse all the waves and all the changes, hide yourself under your own stubborn insistence, and turn yourself into dust. Isn't that the meaning of life that you're pursuing? Isn't that everything you're pursuing? "
"You have to go through hardships to become a hero or a villain, but if you choose to be ordinary, you just have to take a step back and wait, right?"
Seiber opened the car door. He could feel Xia Sen's complicated emotions, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Go, Xia Sen. Go and be an ordinary person. Don't try to step into our world again. Ordinary Xia Sen, if I have to give you an evaluation, then you are undoubtedly a coward who is worse than a loser."
"Drive, girl, let's go back."
Saber placed his cane beside the seat. Selena nodded and carefully put the diamond into her pocket. She started the car and was about to leave when suddenly, a pair of hands slammed on the hood of the car. Selena looked up and saw Xia Sen pointing at Saber angrily.
"Get out of the car!"
Selina turned to look at Seiber. Her face was full of smiles. "Hey, buddy, this guy looks like he's going to beat you up!"
Saber pursed his lips and reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt. He tapped Selena's nose. "Are you that eager to see me get beaten up?"
Selena gave him the middle finger and stuck her head out from the other side, cheering for Xia Sen loudly.
"Hey, you idiot over there, beat him up! I bet 500 USD on you! Beat that blind man to the ground! "
Saber walked out of the car and stood at the edge of the desert, flexing his wrists.
"What? Ordinary Xia Sen, are you sure you want to beat me up? Because of what I said just now? "
He could feel Xia Sen's rising anger. He quickly added fuel to the fire and said softly, "But you and I both know that what I said is true, right?"
"Don't look down on me!"
Xia Sen roared and pounced in Saber's direction. A black arc of light, like a crescent moon, began to spin wildly around him, cutting through the air with a whistling sound.
Saber didn't move at all, allowing Xia Sen's fist to hit his chest and the black arc of light to cut through his body. In an instant, five different wounds appeared on his body, blood splattering everywhere.
Xia Sen seemed to be frightened by this attack. He took a step back and looked at the blood on Saber's body.
"Why didn't you dodge?"
"Do I need to?"
Saber tilted his head. In the blink of an eye, the wounds on his body had healed. He moved his shoulders. "Kid, if you want to teach me a lesson, this little bit of strength is not enough. You have to be more ruthless, crazier … For example …"
"Like this!"
Bang!
While his voice was still in the air, Seber's body suddenly disappeared in front of Xia Sen's eyes. He didn't really disappear, but because his movement was too fast, it was too fast for the human eye to catch. Before Xia Sen could react, a fist was already imprinted on his chest. It was almost exactly where he had punched Seber's chest. However, at this moment, Xia Sen's expression changed from confusion to fear, and then to pain. In just a short second, his body was sent flying.
He landed on the sand more than 20 meters away and spat out a mouthful of blood. This punch was too terrifying. Saber had deliberately held back his strength. Otherwise, that punch would have shattered Xia Sen's sternum. After a mutant awakened, his body would be strengthened. However, for an energy manipulator like Xia Sen, his body was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person's.
It could be said that this punch had shattered all of his confidence. It showed him the difference between the two of them. It was like the difference between heaven and hell.
"The last energy manipulator I've seen could easily lift thousands of tons of steel and destroy the power of New York with a single thought. You … you're too weak, Chasson. Look at yourself now. Your soul is telling you that you should be angry, but do you really have the ability to be angry?"
Seiber stood in front of Xia Sen. He bent down and patted Xia Sen's face with his finger.
"Although you don't admit it, I can feel that you have secretly trained your ability, right? Do you really think that I said you wasted your talent because you decided to be an ordinary person? No, it's because your control of your ability is too weak. When we stood there just now, the energy waves you used were as clear as thunder in my ears. You wasted your talent. You should be a hundred times, no, a thousand times stronger than you are now. Unfortunately, your mind is restricting you. "
Hum!
At that moment, the black arc of light that surrounded Xia Sen slashed at Saber's neck in an extremely strange way. It cut through the air faster than the speed of sound, but before it could touch Saber's neck, Saber gently pressed down on it with his left hand. His five fingers were stuck on the edge of the blade. The friction caused by the high speed friction caused blood to flow from his fingers.
Saber turned around and looked at Xia Sen, who was gritting his teeth. His face was covered in blood and sand. He saw the boy's eyes.
Those eyes … Saber suddenly felt that the boy was not completely hopeless.
Bang!
He squeezed his five fingers and crushed the black arc of light. The light flickered in the air, and under the light of the setting sun, it shone with a beautiful radiance.
"This attack is a little interesting, but it's still too far away. You should be more flexible, more reckless, and more crazy. You shouldn't be so straightforward and curved. It's too easy to guess."
He clapped his hands.
"Remember, next time, don't always look at the direction you want to attack. You have to use your mind and not your eyes to control it because your eyes can't keep up with my speed."
"Kill me! Don't humiliate me! "
Xia Sen shouted, his voice full of humiliation. "Kill me, end my pain!"
"Bah! Coward's choice! "
Seiber shrugged and sat cross-legged on the sand beside Xia Sen. He stared at the young man who was gnashing his teeth and asked softly, "What do you think?"
"I can feel that your current identity is making you feel uncomfortable. So, Xia Sen, tell me, in your heart, what is the existence of mutated humans? For human society, for human civilization, do you think our existence is reasonable? Or is it unreasonable? "
Xia Sen didn't expect that the two men who were fighting to the death would sit together and discuss such a topic. But he didn't want to admit defeat, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Mutated humans are mutated humans.
"Mutants are a chronic disease of human society. I have never doubted this. They are like cancer cells outside of normal cells. Even if I am now a member of the Mutants, I will still say that the existence of Mutants is an unstable bomb of human civilization. Once it explodes, it is enough to directly destroy the foundation of this society!"
"Hmm, that's a very novel way of saying it."
Saber nodded. He took off his sunglasses and opened his eyes, looking at the flowing sand in front of him. "But it's too one-sided, Xia Sen. Do you know how I got these eyes?"
He turned his head and looked at the young man. The latter was frightened by the eyes. He stuttered and shook his head.
"No, I don't know, but they … they look like the eyes of the devil in the myths. They don't look like they developed normally."
"Yes, I met a real devil in this desert a day ago. Mephisto, do you know him?"
Saber said in a low voice. "Before I met him, I never thought that the reality of this world would be like this. I also know that other than him, there are other 'gods' in this world. The characters in the stories you've heard since you were young, they all exist. There are also aliens. Xia Sen, do you really think that our current civilization can win against these supernatural forces?"
Xia Sen didn't say anything. What Seber had said was beyond his imagination. Seber didn't need his answer. He said softly, "You're right.
"Using your theory to explain, the mutants are indeed like the mutated cells of human society, but they are not cancer cells. They are immune cells. In the face of foreign invasion, the world needs a stronger force to protect itself. Human civilization needs to put on armor and weapons. We are the armor, we are the weapons."
"Ordinary people shouldn't hate us … because we are the ones who are protecting them … The wise ones, the brave ones, protect the commoners like heroes, protect the foolish ones, idiots … You see your mutation as a disgrace, but I want to tell you … this is a blessing!"
"You've been chosen! Are you trying to shirk your responsibility, Eldred Xia Sen? "
Xia Sen asked instinctively. "Who chose me?"
Saber looked at him, his fiery eyes full of a playful smile. He opened his arms.
"By this damned, cunning, yet wonderful world!"
