Chapter 1879 Surprise (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)

Max felt like he was dreaming. He had a fight with someone for no apparent reason and almost died. Then he suddenly became powerful for no apparent reason. He didn't know what happened next. When he woke up, he was locked up in a cell... well, a police detention room. To be honest, he could have escaped from a cell of this level with his eyes closed. Unfortunately, there was something on his neck, which prevented him from using his ability.

Ability suppression collar.

The work of Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards. Although he failed to completely crack the secret of mutants, he inadvertently invented this special machine that can suppress the abilities of mutants. The principle behind it... well, no one would understand even if I explain it to you.

In addition, Reed is, in a sense, a scientist even crazier than Tony. In order to study this thing, he actually experimented on himself and his partners. It is said that they were tortured badly during the experiment.

There aren't many people who are so cruel to themselves.

Moreover, after this tool was invented, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

Reed is a difficult person to deal with. He is essentially a science and engineering guy. He only has a vague understanding of many things, but he has a very stubborn temper. For example, he saw mutants committing crimes, so he wanted to invent a weapon that could target mutants. He believed that mutants should also be within the social order. At the same time, the government liked this idea and funded Reed.

This is the more naive side of Reed... He rarely considers the thoughts behind the sponsors. Anyway, to him, as long as you are willing to give him money for research, you are a good person... Even if he is cheated, he will still do the same.

So this thing came into being.

But few people in this world are willing to be regulated and targeted, at least Americans don't like it.

This is the culture of the United States. In terms of system, it is mainly federalism (the division of power between the federal government and local governments) and separation of powers (separation of legislation, administration, and justice, and checks and balances). The purpose of this system design is to limit government power and protect individuals. It is okay when encountering wars and natural disasters, but when it comes to public health issues such as epidemic prevention, such a system is difficult to respond quickly. The American system is extremely complex. Not only do the Chinese, who are used to a unified and centralized system, not understand it, but most Americans themselves do not understand it.

Culturally, it is mainly the simple/plain individualism of Americans, who believe in small government, do not want the state/government to interfere in personal affairs, and put individual rights and freedoms first.

Well... at least that's what they promote. This statement is not new. This has been the image that the United States has used in foreign propaganda for decades. They like to talk about the separation of powers and emphasize that the central government and local states are equal. Then the power of the federal government will be compressed and streamlined, and the power will be delegated to civil organizations and non-profit organizations, and it only needs to do basic public affairs and emergency crisis management. It will not bear unlimited responsibility and will not take care of everything. Citizens can curse the president and staff at will, and can use guns to protect their personal and residential safety. They would rather believe in individual militias than the government, and vow to put government power in a cage. They also say that the US government departments are clean offices that hide wealth among the people and have no control over wealth. The budgets for various expenses must first be reviewed by the parliament and cannot be spent casually. Therefore, every budget is transparent and clean, and can withstand the review of third-party independent agencies, and bribery and corruption will not occur.

This kind of global propaganda for democracy and freedom is extremely effective. It has had an impact for more than 30 years since the birth of the "Washington Consensus". The core message behind it is that the success of developed countries in Europe and the United States is due to their embrace of private ownership and the government's non-interference and control.

If it were five or six years ago, I believe that most people would be willing to believe this explanation. After all, the power gap between China and the United States is there, and facts speak louder than words. Even now, many people still believe this, but they cannot delve into the truth of the "facts". It is easy to be exposed if everyone thinks about it for a while. For example, there is a question on Zhihu: The US government is so small and so honest, and the taxes on Americans are so high, why is there still a fiscal deficit?

Because the size of the US government has never been small, nor is it honest. The reason why taxes are high and fiscal deficits are high is because the budget has been squandered reasonably and legally...

Why does every American hate being governed?

A: The vested interests do not want their interests to be damaged. How can they gain benefits if they are regulated? The majority of the people... they are actually already regulated, but they just don't know it. They naively think they are free... but they are not.

But let’s get back to the topic just now.

Mutants have always been oppressed, and now such weapons have been developed specifically to deal with them. They immediately exploded, thinking that this is a prelude to the government's persecution of them!

So they protested... Of course, the number of mutants is small, and there is no organization to represent their interests, so it is impossible for them to protest with any gentle means. At least, street protests or rallies are unlikely.

So the means are inevitably a bit extreme.

Reed and his companions, in particular, came under considerable attack.

In fact, this problem is easy to solve. The Fantastic Four are mutants!

Unfortunately, Reed didn't do much. He stubbornly debated with the group of people. He felt that there were good and bad mutants among them and they couldn't be generalized. It was a reasonable statement... but when it came to their own interests, who the hell would reason with you?

As a result, things got worse and worse...the Fantastic Four's building was attacked.

In the end, the government had to personally negotiate with the mutants, stipulating that the government would not use such weapons on a large scale... Yes, this thing was defined as a weapon... Only then did the mutants stop.

But in reality... mutants are still too naive. Just because the government says they don't need them, they don't need them?

Damn it, the Constitution also stipulates that the US government has no right to monitor its citizens! Did the US government stop doing that? International law also stipulates that it is not allowed to monitor other countries' leaders! Did the US stop doing that? These assholes even monitor their allies!

There is no way, the mutants are scattered. They can unite because of excitement, but as long as they get a slightly better result, they will immediately scatter like birds and beasts!

No one can really lead them.

So, the special forces used it to lock up Marx.

Marx's first reaction when he saw this thing was fear... He was really scared. It wasn't that he was afraid of death. What was so scary about that thing? He would not know anything once he closed his eyes. Maybe he could still meet his mother, wife and children. After all, this world has proven that there is a God. If there is a God, there must be a heaven!

The only thing to worry about is whether he can go to heaven.

He probably thinks it's tough.

But compared to this world, hell can't be that bad.

Marx felt his body and found that although his superpowers were restricted, the inhibitory force of this thing seemed not enough. He could use his superpowers, but it was more difficult. Moreover, the once active magnetic force became very weak in his perception.

He decided... to run!

Even if I die, I must run!

Then came the magical turn.

A man and a woman came over accompanied by the police.

Then Max was confused.

what?

Are my two children still alive?

Right in front of me? ! !

Marx's first reaction was to feel that he had been deceived, but he soon realized that he was the only person in the world who knew that he had twin daughters. Those who knew about it back then had either died or escaped. How could he leak the information?

The second reaction...I found my children?

The meeting between the two sides was actually quite awkward.

Wanda and Pietro had a lot to say, but they didn't know where to start.

Marx also had countless things to say, but he didn't know where to start.

The three of them stared at each other, and then the meeting time came.

Only then did Wanda realize that the most important thing had not yet been said.

She told Max to stay here safely, they had found someone who could get him out of prison, and he must not do anything stupid, because if he escaped, he would be dead!

Kai can help, but he will never allow Max to live up to his kindness.

After all, Kai had to do a favor to rescue Marx. Once Marx let him down, it would mean that not only would Kai have done his favor in vain, but he would also have to bear the consequences. If Marx is not torn into pieces by then, it would mean that Kai did not have enough to eat that day!

Emma had especially emphasized this point to Wanda and Pietro. She was afraid that these two fools would not be able to resist and try to break into the prison or something like that.

It's not that Emma looks down on them, it's just that their brains... His parents were killed in the explosion, and they have hated Tony Stark for so many years. This kind of action is enough to reflect the level of their brains.

So Emma deliberately made the result sound a little more serious.

However, Emma still underestimated the seriousness of the matter. If Max really escaped, Kai would definitely tear him to pieces!

Just like what was said above, Kai mobilized so many political resources to make this matter develop in the best direction for the sake of his daughter, but when Marx came to him, not only did all the resources go to waste, but he also had to continue to clean up Marx's mess... That was something Kai absolutely could not accept.

Marx is dead!

After all, he and Marx didn't even know each other, and he did this entirely for Emma.

After Wanda and Pietro left, Max was confused.

Both ecstatic and worried.

His two biggest wishes in life were to kill Sebastian Shaw to avenge his mother, and to find his two children.

As a result, both of his long-cherished wishes were fulfilled inexplicably, and had nothing to do with him at all.

Sebastian was killed by the US government, and his children found their irresponsible father themselves...

It is easy to explain why one is ecstatic.

He was worried because he wanted to get along with the two children and make up for it. But the problem was that he had never thought about how to get along with the two children.

After all, although he had not stopped searching for these years, the most important reason was not really to find the children, but because he did not know what to do without a goal. In his heart, he had long believed that the two children were dead.

The reason why he is still looking for it is more like a punishment or commemoration.

If he didn't look for them, the two children might have disappeared completely. His search at least showed that there was still some trace of the existence of these two children in this world.

There are still people in this world who are thinking about them.

He was actually just numbly and mechanically repeating the procedures, that's all.

So he never thought about what to do after finding the child!

He needs to think about it.

As for running away... He won't leave even if you chase him away now.

So Marx stayed in prison and pondered.

"So...what are we doing here?"

The members of Team X and Morgan took off their combat uniforms for the first time in a long time and walked on the streets of New York in casual clothes.

"People can't always be tense, Morgan. How long has it been since we last had a rest?" The old black man Joe was walking on the street holding a cup of coffee.

Morgan glanced at Joe... This old man had always said that he had rested enough and could rest forever after he died. Now he actually said something like this... He had said everything, what could Morgan do?

However, after seeing the team members looking around, Morgan stopped talking.

It’s really sad to say.

None of these kids are from big cities.

Many of them were visiting New York for the first time.

Especially the little rascal, she is a typical small town girl. Before her abilities exploded and she ran away from home, she had never seen New York...but she always saw it on TV.

Of course, the most conspicuous among all people is the beast.

The beast actually has a low self-esteem. After all, his dignity...even he himself finds it scary.

He actually didn't want to come out, but it would be too rude for him to ask for special treatment in a group activity, and he couldn't refuse because of his nice personality. So he went out anyway.

Turns out... New Yorkers don’t care about him at all!

New Yorkers have long been trained to be polite when they see these weirdos on the street, as long as they don't cause damage. Don't be a jerk!

After all, the experiences of these years have taught every New Yorker a profound lesson. None of those weirdos are easy to mess with. No one is bored and has to risk his life for excitement. Let others go shopping. The streets are not yours. Why do you care?

This gave the beast a great sense of relief.

"What do you think, nerd? New York is special, right?" Old Joe patted the Beast's shoulder disrespectfully... To be honest, this action was really difficult. The Beast was too strong, more than two meters tall, and looked about the same height as O'Neal. He had to tiptoe to get an old man to pat him on the shoulder.

Nerd is the nickname that Old Joe gave to Philip McCoy. McCoy himself likes this name very much. After all, he is indeed a nerd. Before his abilities awakened, he was a student at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). He is a typical nerd. Black-framed glasses, plaid shirts, jeans, and sneakers have always been his standard outfit.

He himself had no interest in this. If possible, he would rather be a nerd than a beast.

"That's right, Hank, just come out and take a look more often!" said the little rascal generously.

Hank was the nickname the others gave to the beast.

"No, no, no... No. Not everywhere is New York."

New York does make the Beast feel comfortable, but not every city can be as open and inclusive as New York. In other places, he is still a monster!
