Chapter 30 Am I the villain?

"Who are you looking for?" Opening the door, Hodge looked at the pretty woman standing at the door.

Her long coral shawl hair was casually dispersed without any restraint. Her face was fair and delicate, and her delicate lines were soft and charming. Her pair of emerald green eyes dotted on this face, making her look more beautiful and noble.

The woman was wearing a black one-piece dress with a brown short leather jacket on the outside. The leather jacket was very short and barely covered half of her upper body. Her slender legs were wrapped in seductive black stockings, adding a bit of charm, and under her feet were a pair of black high heels.

"Hello, Mr. Hodge, my name is Qin-Grey! Can we talk about it?" The beauty who called herself Qin-Grey elegantly stretched out her right hand, with a refreshing smile on her face.

Sure enough, there is still an advantage in negotiating between beauties!

"Of course, please come in." He reached out and shook hands with Qingele, and the hands were tender and smooth. However, Hodge shook it politely, then let go of his hand and responded happily.

The two walked into the living room. After the main and secondary were done, although Hodge admired the beauty, he had some small speculation about Qin Gelei's arrival. He didn't have much concern. He spoke first, "I don't know, what do you want to talk to me?"

As for Hodge's directness, Jengere smiled slightly and said calmly, "Don't you know Mr. Hodge has heard of mutants?"

"Mutant? I've heard of some people with superpowers, have they?" Hodge did not hide the problem of Jean Grey as if he didn't know. After all, there is nothing to pretend to be good, and he only knows the general details, so he really doesn't know.

When he heard Hodge say he knew, a joy flashed across Qingele's face, "So Mr. Hodge, since you know mutants, you must know the characteristics of mutants?"

Hodge is not very clear about this issue. It seems that there is an X chromosome in the DNA of those people, which is called the ‘X gene’.

The dominant traits of these genes are recessive and do not reveal their status. In most cases, carriers are no different from ordinary people, but there will still be one or two people carrying the "X gene" that will undergo mutations and have some incredible abilities. These people are called "mutants".

"Well, a group of people with special abilities is amazing." Hodge was not perfunctory. Although his ability is also very powerful, he can't spit out water and fire, so he feels quite magical.

Regarding Hodge's statement, Jengele nodded, just because they are magical, they are unique. However, today is not about whether the mutants are magical or not, this is not the purpose of Jengele coming today.

After correcting his figure, Jean Grey looked at Hodge and said solemnly, "Mr. Hodge, you also understand the special nature of mutants. So what do you think of yourself?"

Hodge looked at Qingele's beautiful face with a serious solemn expression, and his face became a little weird. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Don't he think he is also a mutant? Want to pull himself into the group?

Although Hodge himself didn't know whether the ability he gained from the watch was counted, Hodge never valued his identity. As long as he lived a good life and lived a happy life, what does it matter if he was a mutant?

If he wants to join in and fight against mutants, Huo Qi will not be so bored. Why do you have the time to watch TV, play games, and read the books you like to read? Isn’t this better?

Thinking of this, Hodge felt that it would be meaningless to continue to be vague with her, so he spoke directly: "Do you think you are here today to talk to me about these things, and tell me what you are going to do."

Although the beauty looks very pleasing to the eye, it also depends on what kind of beauty it is. Hodge still doesn't like to communicate with such a purposeful woman.

After all, for Hodge, speaking so zigzag is very annoying. When you come once, you will be considered a nerve-wracking. If you come too much, you will become a crazy person. If you speak, you will be more suitable for you.

As for Hodge who suddenly turned to a high degree, Qingele was stunned, and the expression on his face was slightly dull, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, smiled awkwardly, stroked his long hair, and said solemnly: "On behalf of College X, I invite you to join us, a school for mutants only."

"Why do you join you?" After hearing Jean Grey's words, Hodge found it very funny. Although Nick Fury's invitation was not made clear, it was at least to protect the earth from invasion by alien creatures. Although Hodge would not join, if he really encountered something irresistible, Hodge would definitely take action.

After all, there is only one earth. Although I don’t know if there is a so-called parallel world in this world, Hodge has never seen it yet, so we cannot speculate on it.

And joining X Academy, becoming a member of the X-Men, and then fighting with the 'Brothers'? This kind of thing is even more boring. It's better to pick up girls.

Hodge's retort made Qin Gele speechless, even a little unbelievable. The smile on his face instantly frozen. A trace of anger flashed in his emerald green eyes, but it could not be triggered.

Hodge's words had a great impact on her, because the appearance of mutants is always rejected and feared by people around her, including the mutant's parents.

Therefore, when X Academy recruits mutants, it is basically a sure thing. This is the first time she has encountered such a person like Hodge.

There is no way, who told her to meet Hodge, a friend or something, just a computer, everyone chats online, who knows who is who? For a otakus, friends you know can count with one hand.

Love, although most of the children in mutants are abandoned by their parents, some parents do not abandon their children after knowing that their children are mutants, but try every means to protect them.

It’s just that ordinary people have no power to protect themselves. The ‘Anti-mutant association’ is not something that ordinary people can compete with, so this group of mutants will leave alone because they don’t want their parents to be threatened or even hurt because of themselves. This kind of child is naturally easy to attract.

But Hodge is different. Not to mention his own strength, even his adoptive parents are of high authority, the director of the New York City Police Department.

Although Hodge had never asked Daniel about his past, Daniel himself had never said it, the military uniform hung at home was on it, the five shining stars were not decorations, and there were so many medals on his chest that were not used as paint!

As the leader of the "Anti-mutants Association", Stryker has great power, but he is still a brigade general. Do they dare to arrest people at Hodge's house?

Moreover, Daniel and Lisa's care for Hodge is not inferior to any parents, so Hodge has no worries about the problems that ordinary mutants on the opposite side have to face, not to mention that he is not yet, and he can't find out.

Moreover, there are many mutants in situations like Hodge, and some children from upper-class families will not be threatened even if they are mutants.

To sum up the reasons, Qin Gelei hit a wall. Looking at Hodge's neither salty nor light expression, Qin Gelei knew that even if he said too much, it would be useless.

After calming down his mood, Qin Gelei said coldly with an expressionless face, "Since that's the case, then we have nothing to say, goodbye." After that, he ignored Hodge and turned around and left.

Seeing the woman leaving, Hodge breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that Qin Gelei put a lot of pressure on him, but that Hodge didn't like to talk to people, Moji and Moji and said that.

I sat on the sofa and thought for a while. If there were any soldiers coming to block the water and soil, why do I think so much? I wasted my brain cells and laughed at myself.

Hodge turned on the TV and prepared to watch some shows to adjust his mood.

The first program to turn on the TV was news. This was specially included in Lisa when she said that in order to let Hodge understand current affairs well.

"Ellis Island was once a level of immigration to the United States, but now it has become the focus again." On TV, the calm voice of the male anchor Zhongzheng came out.

"The upcoming United Nations summit meeting here, the heads of state gathered together, and there are many participating countries, unprecedented." In the TV screen, with the voice of the male anchor, the general appearance of Elis Island and the surrounding scenery of the summit meeting location were also played out.

"In two days, more than 200 heads of state will work together to discuss the economy, weapons agreements and the impact of mutants."

"The first issue for U.S. lawmakers believe that the primary issue is to obtain consensus on managing mutants and take necessary measures. Today's interim parliamentary subject is about: Are mutants dangerous? This topic is discussed."

Hearing the TV talking about mutants, Hodge also became interested, put down the remote control and prepared to take a good look at what these people think of mutants.

"Dear gentlemen, ladies, human beings are facing another stage of evolution, with mutations often occurring in adolescence and induced by emotional ups and downs." In the TV screen, in the wide conference lobby, members of the parliamentary representatives of various countries sat in a circle, and on the podium in the center of the lobby, a mature and beautiful beauty was talking.

"You said it very well, but this is not the topic we are going to talk about today, the question of 'Is mutant dangerous'." Just as the mature beauty made her comment, an old man with gray hair and meticulous combedding interrupted.

Hodge looked at the camera and turned to the old man. He suddenly lost interest. He got up and went to the kitchen to get some juice and snacks, ready to prepare for the 'fight' because ordinary meetings will take a long time.

When Hodge came back from the kitchen, the scenes on the TV instantly made him feel restless. The old man's voice came into Hodge's ears through the TV, giving Hodge an urge to kill him.

"As far as I know, there is a girl with the ability to pass through walls. If she enters the bank insurance card, the president's mansion, or everyone's home..." The old man stood in the center of the lobby with a document in his hand, pronounced the document word by word, and said the mutant's "terrible" by the way.

Will you pass through the wall? Who has no dark secrets in these senior people? If you are entering the house by such people, will it be exposed? So when the old man finishes talking, some people who have ghosts in their hearts don’t care what the man wants to express and applaud and support first.

It seemed that when I heard someone around me support, the old guy said even more vigorously, his saliva flew everywhere, and his old face turned a little red due to excitement. "Some mutants can sense and control human thoughts and deprive their will of freedom. We have the right to decide whether to accept mutants."

After talking about the fact that mutants can penetrate the wall, they secretly gave those people a reminder. This time, they said that they can control people, which is a threat to these people who are doing!

Can control your own behavior and thoughts and know what you are thinking, can this still make them live? I feel uneasy even if I collect money!

Thinking of this, there are more supporters.

But the old guy hadn't finished speaking yet, "As far as I know, just yesterday, maybe you guys who are doing it also know that in Manhattan, New York, a mutant instantly destroyed a block of 100 meters! This is the evidence!" As he said that, he snapped his fingers.

As the man moved, the image of Hodge instantly destroying the entire block with a heat ray appeared on the huge screen on the middle wall of the conference hall. Although the picture was blurry, the result was obvious.

If the first two are psychological threats, then this picture is a threat of force.

Let them realize how dangerous and terrible mutants are!

"So, we should strictly manage mutants. They live among us. We must find them out and thoroughly study them!" After the old man said that, warm applause burst out in the entire conference hall. At this time, they had forgotten that 'mutants' were also humans.

Studying them is equivalent to conducting various anatomy, experiments and other series of unknown sins.

At this time, they no longer care about whether this is anti-human or not, but only care about their own interests. If they do not catch these mutants, they will have to enter the vault to feel at ease when they accept bribes, for fear that someone will pop up from some wall and expose their scandal.

When they were happy, Hodge was unhappy! I was actually regarded as a villain? Is it still a headline?

These old guys simply don’t want to live anymore! The more you think about it, the more angry you become, the more you become, Hodge decided to go over and talk to these guys, especially that serious old man!

But where does that old guy live?
