Chapter 109 Mutant Awakening
Chapter 109 Mutant Awakening
Law enforcers were a concept that was neither unfamiliar nor familiar to Lu Yihang. He was familiar with it because Ross had adopted his suggestions when he conceived the team; he was unfamiliar with it because he had only contributed an idea, and Lu Yihang had never personally experienced the subsequent ups and downs.
Following the directions indicated in the mission, Lu Yihang arrived at a building that looked like a research institute. Its past use was no longer important. At this moment, its role as a camp for law enforcers was more prominent. However, the place was not as heavily guarded as expected. Several gaps in the wall revealed traces of alien resistance, and the people inside seemed to have no intention of repairing it immediately.
Retracting his distant gaze, Lu Yihang stepped into the building. In the large space, all kinds of debris were piled up, and the whole place was shrouded in darkness.
Just as he was looking around, a blinding light suddenly shot towards him, shining directly into his eyes, with no friendly intent at all.
"My dear little brother, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place. I'm kindly reminding you that most of the people who come here do not come willingly." A bearded man leaned on the fence, holding a light source, with a hint of amusement on his lips.
Lu Yihang raised his head and smiled at the man. His eyes suddenly sparkled and the instantaneous eye contact seemed to make the other person feel dizzy.
"I'm from the student union, and I've accepted your mission to help you."
"Yes, you look OK." The man immediately retracted the light in his hand, "But going on a mission with the law enforcer is not comparable to the small fights in the academy. It is a mistake for the captain to throw it to the academy. If you want to live in peace, give up this mission, understand?"
"Don't worry, I've also been through hell-level dangers." Lu Yihang shrugged casually with a calm expression.
"This joke is not funny, kid, this is not the time to act on impulse..." The man's face darkened before he finished speaking, and when he reached out to touch her, a woman's voice suddenly rang out.
"He didn't lie. In front of him, our actions are just a small fight. After all, he is our new leader."
Hearing this, Lu Yihang immediately looked up and saw a woman with green hair and heavy makeup walking towards him.
"New leader? You mean he is Aleister?" The man looked at Lu Yihang with astonishment when he heard it.
"So you were transferred here from the Brotherhood." A hint of realization flashed across Lu Yihang's eyes. Aleister was the alias he used in the Brotherhood to hide his identity.
"Nice to meet you, I am Polaris." The woman stepped forward, respectfully.
"Polaris, you are... the daughter of Magneto." Now it was Lu Yihang's turn to be surprised.
"My father mentioned me? What a surprise." A light flashed in Jixing's eyes, and then turned into a hint of sadness.
"Magneto is my father, a great hero who fights for the future of mutants, but the road to becoming a hero's relative is not easy. He left my mother when I was born, and when I grew up and looked for him, he didn't recognize me as his daughter."
Upon seeing this, Jiaoshi stepped forward and held Jixing's hand tightly.
"Excuse me." Polaris took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, "Formally introduce, this is Jiaoshu, the two over there are Flash and Thunderbird."
Following the guidance of the Pole Star, Lu Yihang saw a sturdy young man and a purple-haired woman walking in.
"They are my companions. Most of the members of the law enforcement team are my friends who came here together with the Brotherhood."
"I have led members of the Brotherhood to carry out missions, but this is the first time I have met you." Lu Yihang looked at the four people, feeling a little surprised.
"Of course, because we are rats in the dark night." Jixing said calmly.
In the past, mutants were divided into light and dark forces, with the X-Men walking in the light. Under the high profile of Magneto, most members of the Brotherhood actually hid in the dark, unknown to many people, like mice avoiding the sun, silently guarding the safety of mutants, secretly destroying research facilities, and quietly eliminating stubborn enemies. Without them, the fate of mutants would be even more tragic.
"The school was founded, all mutants awakened, and the power of the X-Men and the Brotherhood was united." Jixing looked at Lu Yihang and said,
"Father was right. No one is more suitable than you to carry on his legacy. You lead us to the light."
"This is not the work of one person." Lu Yihang waved his hand and said seriously.
Jixing smiled lightly, and did not dwell on the question any further, instead saying: "Although light is good, unfortunately we are rats of the night, and darkness is our destiny."
"So you join the law enforcement team." Lu Yihang looked at the four people thoughtfully.
"There is always darkness behind the light. To maintain the beauty of the school, someone has to do the dirty work." Jixing said with a smile, "To punish the evildoers, you must be more ruthless and fierce than them, so as to protect the beauty. This is what our captain, the Punisher, said."
"It sounds like you have great respect for the Punisher." Lu Yihang raised his eyebrows slightly. Although Jixing looked like the older sister next door, her words revealed her determination to show no mercy to the enemy. For mice surviving in the dark night, being weak is a fatal weakness.
The Punisher was able to convince these tough guys in just a few days. His skills after awakening his superpowers are self-evident...
