Chapter 69: 1. come by

On the second day of the New York trip, the sunshine was as gentle as the first day, and everyone's mood was general.
With sunglasses, Melinda May, an agent of the chilly S.H.I.E.L.D. 7 sitting in the driver’s seat, turned the steering wheel flexibly in her palm. This is New York, a metropolis, and people are very busy. The area is several times that of Gotham, and the population is more than 5 times.
But Cyber ​​is not envious of the prosperity here. He has an instinctive resistance to this noisy environment, and it takes more than an hour to drive where they want to go today. Naturally, the guide can only guide the way. Too.
Dressed up next to Catherine, Catherine appeared extremely active, in stark contrast to Catherine, who was trapped in her seat.
"Saibo, Sibo, do you say they remember me?"
The little girl asked the same question for Cyber ​​for the seventh time. The young man's eyes under the sunglasses pumped and took a deep breath. His left hand patted on top of Catherine's head.
"They must remember you, who would forget such a cute little girl?"
So Catherine sat contentedly and sat beside him happily. Yes, today is the day to take her to her house. SHIELD's power in New York is amazing. Within half a day, the Pride couple's current address.
Catherine was born Catherine Anne Pride, a Jewish descendant. According to the information in May’s hand, Catherine lived very happy before the age of 8 and was a common state of the middle class in the United States. Her parents loved her. However, after the ability awakened, the Pride family moved three times within a year, and Catherine's ability caused Pride's parents almost endless trouble.
The aliens are called aliens because they are different from ordinary people, and the aliens are the most easily excluded and attacked. This is one of the original sins flowing in the human bloodstream, even if the object is just a child.
Catherine will encounter what happens when he returns home. Cyber ​​doesn’t know, and he is not willing to guess. He has seen many dark sides of human nature. Frankly speaking, he does not want his guess to come true, but it is interesting that Along the way, Cyber ​​discovered a small "secret" of the frosty Metter.
She was afraid of children... To be precise, she was resisting contact with a little girl like Catherine. Although she was wearing sunglasses, in Cyber's eyes, every time she saw Catherine from the rearview mirror, her body would tremble. .
"Interesting... She didn't seem to have this problem last time."
Cyber ​​touched his chin and did not say what he had observed. First of all, this was a private matter, and it may involve some taboos. Second, at least for now, they are still in a cooperative relationship.
Agent Mate also seemed to feel the sight of Saber's observation, so she was very silent along the way. After 30 minutes, the black Dodge stopped outside a white cottage in the suburb of Brooklyn. The three people got out of the car and raced. Bo looked at the villa in front of him. From the paved and carefully packed garden outside, he could see the family's pursuit of quality of life.
The little girl was very active along the way, but when she really stood in front of the villa, she took the hand of Fear in fear. He looked at the young man leaning on the car and whispered,
"Saibo, you go with me, okay?"
When Cyber ​​heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He crouched down, took off his sunglasses, and looked at Catherine who was crying.
"Are you afraid?"
"No...I just...I just..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Cyber ​​knocked on her little head,
"If you really don't know how to face them, it is better to quietly "walk in", don't be found by them, and see how they live now, if they still remember you, you will see them, if they forget , You just come out, let's go back to Gotham together, OK?"
The little girl was so nervous that she couldn't speak, and Cyber ​​put her hand on her shoulder and said to her,
"Come, take a deep breath... breathe, breathe... is it better?"
"Ok!"
She nodded vigorously, and Cyber ​​raised her fist.
"Don't be seen by them! We said yes!"
Catherine also stretched her fist, touched it gently on Cyberfist's fist, and then ran behind him. In May's surprised eyes, she just
melted
into the ground like magic.
Saibo put on sunglasses and stood up, and May's voice also sounded at the same moment,
"This kid...is also a mutant?"
"What do you say?"
Cyber ​​shrugged. "After spending a whole day with us, Miss Agent, you didn't even notice this. It seems that you don't have the ability to detect mutants."
"If advanced variants are unwilling to show their identity, ordinary people can't detect it unless they are tested with special equipment."
May's voice became more and more cold, and Cyber ​​felt the coldness in her voice very clearly. It seemed that the news that Catherine was a mutant made her feel bad. This actually made Cyber ​​more and more interested in May's transformation. But just before he asked, May said,
"This child is expected to be very disappointed this time."
"Ok?"
Cyber ​​turned to look at her. At this point in time, there were almost no pedestrians in this block, and naturally no one noticed them.
"I was searching for information about the Pride couple yesterday, and I found something interesting."
Mei took off her sunglasses, closed her eyes, leaned against the side of the car, and seemed to be basking in the sun. Her voice was low, but it clearly passed into the ear of Cyber,
"Catherine's loss is a difficult question to make clear. I think you are also wondering if they deliberately abandoned her because of Catherine's ability, but in fact, according to my analysis, this is unlikely to be established, not just because of the general The Ryders have their own beliefs. They can’t do anything about abandoning their children. More importantly, after Catherine’s loss, the Prides who returned to New York had commissioned many people to find the traces of their daughters."
"So sister, do you mean that this couple is innocent?"
Cyber ​​felt the concern disappeared, but at the same time, Cyber ​​had his own doubts about this statement.
"According to this, the Pride couple should welcome the return of Catherine. Why do you say she will be disappointed?"
"Huh, I didn't say they were innocent."
Mei Leng hummed, "Even if they don't have that thought, but the carelessness of bringing an 8-year-old girl at the station is very likely to lead to the disappearance of a life. They are incompetent parents. Catherine can meet you. It is her luck. Personally, I really hope that this girl can return to her family, but unfortunately, this is no longer possible."
Cyber ​​said nothing, but his eyes were firmly on May, who was silent for a moment and said,
"They lost their memory."
"what?"
This answer stopped Cyber's thinking in an instant. After a few seconds, he jumped from the spot and stood in front of Mei.
"Aren't you kidding? Agent Sister!"
This name disliked Mei, she shook her hand, and there was an impatient voice in her voice, "I warn you, you will give me a messy nickname, I will cut off your tongue, I am in a bad mood now!"
"Alright alright!"
Cyber ​​raised his hand and signaled that he had surrendered, and Mei finished the story.
"Despite Catherine's disappearance, the Pride and his wife have unshirkable responsibilities, but they really love their daughter. After a year of searching and no news, the couple has reached the verge of collapse. The second alarm said they tried to commit suicide in pain, and if there was no accident, they would have been crushed by the pain now."
"So, there are still accidents, right?"
Cyber ​​asked, May nodded, her eyes turned to the southeast,
"Just three months ago, when the Pride couple was about to be crushed by regret and pain, a mysterious person visited them. In the afternoon, the Pride couple who had completely recovered their temperament moved happily, Moving here, they completely forgot all the information about their daughter, away from the source of pain, and just this month, Mrs. Plyde became pregnant, and this endangered family will once again have a new life."
"So I would say that it was a real mistake for you to bring Catherine over at this time."
The unexpected news made Cyber's fist clenched, and after a few minutes he let go, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice,
"I once said to my little brother that the uncontrollable pain of losing loved ones will be entangled in the heart until one’s thoughts of the loved one are turned into toxins flowing in the blood. One day, he will hope The person he loved has never... existed. Only in this way can the pain that is entangled in fate disappear completely...It is ironic, actually someone did this..."
He gritted his teeth and looked at Mei again,
"But I'm more curious, how did the mysterious person do it? Has he tampered with their memories?"
"Tampering? No no no, that's too low-level, he directly "erased" all the memories of the painful Pride couple from Catherine."
May reached out and wiped in the air,
"It’s like you rubbed off the dirty water on the car window, leaving a blank, he just needs to carefully put a happy memory on the blank, and he can turn two poor people who want to commit suicide into happiness. Ordinary man, Cyber, you look so surprised... It seems that you still know nothing about the miracle that the blood flowing in your body will derive."
Agent 7 sighed, a complex look appeared in his eyes under the sunglasses,
"I sometimes wonder why the same is the shape of an ordinary person, but the mutants will derive so many so terrible abilities, yes, it is a mutant who does all this, and you will see him soon Now."
"to be frank…"
Cyber ​​swallowed. "After hearing your description, I don't want to see this big man who can modify his memory at will. Under his full operation, he will turn me into a porridge and runny nose for the rest of my life. Then silly X?
May hugged her shoulders, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"With your strength, Professor Charles only needs about one-fifth of the power to turn you into a real dementia, and you can't hide it, Cyber, this time you come to New York, you are not going to Ze Will Weir Talent College meet Professor Charles?"
"You don’t really think that one of the two poles of the mutant society is an ordinary person that you can knock down with any punch? Can I say that, Cyber, Professor Charles stays there as long as he wants? In the college, you can instantly kill anyone in any corner of the world...regardless of whether the other party is a civilian, a senior official, a president, or...a mercenary."
Cyber's breath became heavy at this moment. He took a crumpled cigarette out of his pocket and drew it on his mouth. After taking a few deep breaths, he shrugged.
"As you say, isn't he indistinguishable from God?"
May glared at him, believing that this thing in American society could not be talked about arbitrarily, especially the unbridled language such as Cyber, but she still adhered to the duty of a guide. She brought her sunglasses back, and to Cyber, who was almost a mutant The guy who knows nothing about society said,
"Do you really think ordinary people reject mutants just because you are "alien"? It's easy to make someone hate something, but it's so difficult to scare the whole human world that something is scary. Hitler is called " "Demon", but some people still worship him, but what about mutants? Do you know how many people in the ordinary people have goodwill towards mutants?"
"That low number is far beyond your imagination. Let me tell you. Cyber, if the mutants unite together, they already have the power to threaten the current human civilization. This is the biggest reason why ordinary people are hostile to you. They are afraid of you! So they will reject you."
Mei took a deep breath, she looked up at the sky,
"Professor Charles and Magneto Eric, they once joined forces, or when they were incapable of each other. At that time, they ended the Cuban missile crisis with the strength of two people, which was the most in the world at that time. Two powerful fleets, two people unite... It is so easy to reverse the future."
"Study well, Cyber, the reality of this world is much more exciting than you think."
