Beauty Serum

"Are you mentally prepared to face death?"

After coming out of the crisis room, Bobby and the others no longer had the joy and laughter at the beginning. They only had worried faces telling others that they were in a very bad state.

Delos's words were like a demonic barrier that had been lingering in the minds of several people.

"I also want to go home and see my parents and brother. Just like Jiayin said, I have the courage to say that I am a mutant and make my family proud of me."

In the dormitory, Bobby expressed his thoughts to Pyro John. His face was full of hope and longing, but it didn't take long for these beautiful colors to be replaced by loss.

"But I am afraid of death, because if I die, I will have nothing. Maybe people like me are not suitable to be an X-Men at all, and are not worthy of this honor and the hopes of other mutants..."

John the naughty boy did not laugh at or despise Bobby this time, because what Bobby worried about was also what he worried about.

John wanted to continue playing with lighters or video games, but when he was about to do it, he found that he was not in the mood at all.

John is also a mutant, but compared to Bobby, he hates human beings even more.To be honest, John was not a racist at first. When he discovered that he had the superpower of controlling fire, all he could think of was to be cool and show off.

This is a common thought among young people, but John did not get carried away by the excitement.He knew what the world's attitude was towards mutants, so he hid his superpowers until he couldn't help but use his powers to save people in an accident.

After John's ability was exposed, the attitudes of his friends and even his biological parents changed towards him.He was feared and inexplicably hated by those around him, and was even kicked out of the house by his parents.From that moment on, John's world collapsed, and he hated and feared humans while wandering.

After arriving at this mutant school, John's mentality gradually corrected over time.But he still felt a little uncomfortable with human beings in his heart.It's just that unlike before, this hatred has degenerated into disgust.But for some reason, despite clearly hating humans, he used his superpowers to save several humans caught in a fire during an outdoor activity.

"Whether you are a mutant or a human, it will be very painful to be treated like this by others. But unlike other mutants, you not only did not vent your anger on innocent people, but actually saved innocent people."

This is what Professor x said to him.

John found that what Professor

But John really didn't expect that just because of this, he would be recruited into the X-Men reserves.

The X-Men of the college have always been admired by students, and John is no exception.So when Professor X invited him, he agreed without hesitation.

After becoming a reserve member of the X-Men, John always imagined that he would be respected by other mutants like teachers, and he could even change his parents' minds.But when he saw the experimental projects that Delos showed to the reservists and the dangers that the X-Men were likely to face, he hesitated.

"Can I really lay down my life for humans or mutants?"

John covered his head in pain. He found that he couldn't do this. He couldn't respond to those people's expectations.But John couldn't help but watch the friends and classmates he got along with being in danger. The thought that the familiar people around him might encounter the crisis situation that Qin Jiayin almost died in the crisis room before, even if the relationship was normal, would make him feel unwilling.

Tormented by all the conflicts in his heart, John wanted to control the flames released by the lighter and bombard the surroundings.

The same thing happened to several others.

Li Qianhuan, who was wearing a yellow coat, big earrings and a trendy hairstyle, was sitting on the bed. Looking at Qin Jiayin who was still practicing some weird moves, she couldn't help but ask:

"Jiayin, why did you make this choice? Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by others in the future? No matter whether the betrayer is a mutant or a human, in that case there will be no point in becoming an X-Men."

Qin Jiayin stopped after hearing this.

She glanced at Li Qianhuan, who was struggling, and after thinking for a while, she slowly said: "I just don't want to regret it in the future. And..."

Qin Jiayin paused, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked into Li Qianhuan's eyes: "Not everyone is so bad. Besides, becoming an X-Men does not mean becoming a bad person. Help those who need help. Those who shouldn’t be helped shouldn’t be helped.”

At the end, Qin Jiayin added in her heart: "Even kill those who deserve to be killed!"

Thinking of what Kingpin had done on the Day of Purgatory, as well as those bastards who wantonly harmed mutants and even captured mutants for experiments, she felt a chill in her heart.

"That's it."

Li Qianhuan didn't notice anything strange about Qin Jiayin, but lowered her head and looked at the purple mist-like gas and energy ball emerging from her hand. The flickering sparks in it showed that she felt very uneasy.

Katie, who is nearly 14 years old, should have joined the reserve force a year or two later, but her ability is too special.She can move back and forth between energy and solid matter with ease, which alone makes her play a key role on the battlefield.However, her ability is not invincible. Every time she uses her ability, she needs to consume physical strength. At Katie's age, she cannot use her shuttle ability multiple times.

She can only use her ability twenty times a day. When this limit is reached, she will no longer be able to use her physical strength.Once this happens, she will definitely die.

"I'm still young, so it's understandable that I don't join. In two or three years, this problem won't arise..."

After returning to the room, Katie comforted herself like this.But when she thought of Delos, who used to be as kind as a big brother, questioning her in front of her with a completely different cold attitude, her flinching heart was shaken again.

Colossus Piotr did not draw portraits of his classmates as before. He was also thinking about all the words Delos said in the crisis room.

(PS: Pete is the middle name of Colossus’ real name. Due to concerns that some readers may confuse it with other characters, another name of Colossus is used here.)

Logically speaking, Piotr should be the least worried about danger. The metalization of his entire body not only gives him extremely strong strength, but also terrifying defense and high-temperature resistance.You must know that even 450 pounds of TNT explosives cannot harm him. If the temperature does not exceed [-] degrees, his steel skin will not melt.

Compared to others, Piotr has a certain ability to heal himself while his whole body is in a metallic state.Even if there are fractures or damage to organs other than the head, as long as it is not fatal, he can recover quickly during the metalization period.

However, no matter how advantageous one's ability is, in the face of humankind's continuous development and advancement of technology, this advantage will only be continuously weakened until it becomes a disadvantage.

"What do Scott and the others think when they face danger?"

Piotr leaned back on his chair with some disappointment, murmuring in his heart: "Why can they keep moving forward bravely?"

Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.

In the school's underground laboratory, Delos excitedly input his own genetic data into the digital simulator, constantly comparing it with other genetic data.About two hours later, a brand new gene combination containing his genetic data appeared on the simulator.

Although there are still many aspects of this genetic combination that remain unclear due to time issues, Delos is still very happy.Because of a previous idea, he discovered a serum that could further strengthen himself.

"If I had this ability now, the physical adaptation brought by supersonic speed would be nothing at all. It would be no problem even if I could fight the Hulk or the Kryptonian right now. It's just a pity that I haven't found it yet. Suitable genetic material..." (To be continued.)
