The Great Winter Soldier

Just when the atmosphere between Nicole and Sol was extremely tense, Nicole's heart suddenly trembled slightly. Then, the woman turned her head and saw Xia Tian and Wanda standing in the darkness in the corner of the background.

Nicole watched Xia Tian make a few gestures. She was silent for a long time, and then glanced at Sol coldly, with a light body, and disappeared without a trace.

Xia Tian turned around and entered the backstage, returning to the place where he had just rescued Nightcrawler Kurt Wagoner. He also saw Nicole sitting on a chair, her silence looking a bit scary.

Xia Tian stepped forward and helped Nicole up with one hand. The woman was still stunned when she felt her lips being pinched.

"Well..." Nicole was stunned for a moment, and then responded enthusiastically, temporarily putting aside the anger in her heart.

Nightcrawler huddled under the table and stretched out his hands to cover his eyes. His palms were still dark blue with some strange runes on them. His fingernails were dark and sharp, like the claws of a monster.

Xia Tian held Nicole's waist, loosened her lips, looked at the unhappy-looking woman in front of her, and said softly: "I need you to stay here for a while."

"Yeah" Nicole licked her crystal lower lip and uttered a soft doubt.

"I need you to make a name for yourself here, so that you can attract the attention of a big shot." Xia Tian indicated that he was not joking.

"Then" Nicole raised her eyebrows.

"He will try to recruit you, he will definitely see your potential, and he will improve your mutant ability level for you." Xia Tian's tone was very light, but it detonated a thunder in Nicole's heart. Improve variant ability level

"Is this what you call the Apocalypse?" Nicole asked. Before coming here, Xia Tian had already told her some information about the Apocalypse. Especially when Xia Tian said that he would take Sol to meet an extremely powerful person, Nicole privately asked who this person was.

"Yes, he will try to take you under his command and become one of his four knights. He has the ability to enhance the strength of other mutants." Xia Tian nodded, "Although we will not help him destroy the world, But it’s a good choice to let him improve your mutant abilities. My abilities are constantly improving, but yours are stagnant. This is a good opportunity to enrich yourself.”

"Okay," Nicole agreed. As for the danger, Nicole has never worried about her own life safety. As long as she cuts it down with a sword, she will not think that anyone can survive.

"He is very dangerous." Xia Tian seemed to be able to read the woman's heart, and said in a very timely manner, "You have to be careful, you have to be very clear about what you want, don't act rashly, wait for my news, he is not something you can do on your own The solution is not something I can solve by myself. This will definitely be an arduous and huge war, so don’t entertain any personal heroism.”

"Yeah." Nicole agreed casually. She could tell that Xia Tian seemed to be leaving.

"As your captain, I order you to do this." Xia Tian said, but suddenly her tone softened, and she stretched out her hand to caress Nicole's cheek, "As your man, I beg you not to act rashly."

Nicole looked at Xia Tian's serious expression, and suddenly for a moment, she realized how serious Xia Tian was. When she possesses such mutant abilities, such fighting qualities, and even possesses a power gem, Xia Tian's expression is still so solemn, which is enough to show that Apocalypse is really powerful and boundless.

"We are playing with fire. Can you guarantee that we will carry out the task exactly according to my ideas?" Xia Tian asked slowly with a serious look on his face.

"I can, Xia Tian, ​​I promise." Nicole said softly, holding Xia Tian's hand that was caressing her face with one hand, and squeezed it slightly, "Believe in me, just like you believe in yourself."

"Very good." Xia Tian held Nicole's body, hugged her tightly, and patted her back, "I'm going to look for Magneto now, and I'm also waiting for Professor X to contact me again, this time , I can’t let Professor

Xia Tian's repeated decisions made Nicole's awareness of Apocalypse's strength increase again and again.

"Magneto" Nicole's heart tightened. No matter which world she was in, she had a bad impression of Magneto.

"Yeah, I gotta talk to him."

"You know where he is"

"No, he may be incognito somewhere, it doesn't matter, I think of a place, it is an underground intelligence center, as expected, it should be in this town." Xia Tian said, in the impression, in Tianqi Caliban, who is quite outstanding in the game, should be near this underground arena. He is the intelligence chief and has information about everyone.

"This is a very long journey." Nicole seemed a little reluctant to give up, but since Xia Tian gave her such an important task, she was of course willing to carry the world on her own and solve Xia Tian's problems.

"No, I found a little guy, and his ability is very special." Xia Tian let go of Nicole, turned sideways, and looked at the table beside him.

"Well" Nicole put her foot on the table and kicked forward. The legs of the table in front of her were off the ground, and the tabletop was lifted. Only then did she see a "Blue Devil" inside. He had dark blue skin. His dark hair covered his big eyes, his long tail swayed wildly, and there was an "arrow"-like sign at the end.

"Hello," Nightcrawler smiled awkwardly and waved his palm with sharp black claws. There were only three fingers on it, which attracted Nicole's scrutinizing gaze. Feeling Nicole's cold and intimidating eyes, Night Walker panicked and hurriedly lowered his head.

"A child." Nicole frowned. Although this child looked scary, his submissive appearance didn't seem to be reliable.

"You can't ask for too much from him. He was kidnapped. Do you think that with his appearance, he will be respected in the mutant world?" Xia Tian said casually, leaning over to hold Night Walker Pulled out, "He's just a kid."

Nicole nodded with deep feeling. Her hometown is the world of mutants. Of course she knows the extent to which mutants are discriminated against, including in this underground arena. The contestants are all captured mutants, and those ordinary people Just like a superior race, they laugh and watch the mutants fighting each other in the octagonal cage outside. Perhaps, deep down in their hearts, they don't care whether the one they bet on dies. In fact, after every mutant dies tragically, , they will all cheer from the bottom of their hearts.

"Nebula will leave it to you. Let her help you with all the chores, find a secluded place to live, and let your name shine in this underground arena." Xia Tian helped Night Walker up and signaled the direction of Darwin and Nebula.

"Okay, wait for a dangerous mutant and be a good undercover agent." Nicole said confidently, "Go ahead and leave this to me."

Xia Tian gave Nicole a deep look, which was the result of his careful consideration. Among Apocalypse's dazzling mutant ability templates, there is no ability to read memories or invade the brain, so he needs Professor X's body to fulfill his ambitions. So Nicole's actions are feasible. On the other hand, between Wanda and Nicole, Xia Tian still chose Nicole because of her overwhelming loyalty, and because of her inseparable relationship with Xia Tian. If it were Wanda, Xia Tian was not sure whether this girl would be bewitched by her ancestors. Although Wanda's loyalty is high enough, in the final analysis, Xia Tian still trusts Nicole more.

"Kurt, were you born here and have you ever gone out to see the outside world?" Xia Tian asked as he held Night Walker's shoulders and walked out.

"Yes, sir, I have been to many places. I even traveled around the world and toured various countries. I started such a journey when I was 11 years old." Night Walker nodded hurriedly, seeming to Thinking of something, he hurriedly said, "By the way, thank you, thank you for rescuing me from here. Otherwise, I might have been thrown into that octagonal cage. Thank you for saving my life. I don't know how to fight at all." ,I......"

"Calm down, calm down..." Xia Tian gently patted Night Walker's shoulder while comforting the young man and said, "11 years old tour"

"I..." Night Walker's face darkened, as if he remembered some bad experience, "My, I... I look very weird. I have no way to survive. No one is willing to take me in. No one was willing to accept me. It was one night, and the people watching the show dispersed, and I saw a child throwing half of the remaining ice cream into the trash can, and I just... I just... ..I......"

Night Walker's words suddenly stopped, his chest seemed to be holding a breath, and he didn't say anything else for a long time.

"It's okay, Kurt, I am a mutant, we are all, from now on, we will protect you, you will have everything that ordinary people have." Xia Tian comforted Night Walker, he did not want to ask so much It was detailed, but Night Walker had obviously been depressed for a long time, and he told about that experience. Xia Tian asked in time, "Tell me, what happens next?"

"Her parents blamed me for scaring their children. They kicked me to the ground, beat me hard, and finally threw me into the ditch." Nightwalker took a deep breath, and after a while, Continues, "Then a circus guy picked me out of the ditch and I joined in there."

As he spoke, Xia Tian happened to pass by Nebula. He turned to look at Nebula and said, "Nicole is my wife, your master. Her orders are my orders. You stay here and fight for her." Manage your life, I will be back to pick you up soon."

"Yes, Master." The ordinary white woman transformed by the nebula nodded in agreement.

Xia Tian patted Xing Yun's shoulder with satisfaction, and continued to walk out with Night Walker's body in his arms: "So you started your tour."

"Yes, I have been to many places." Night Walker nodded.

"How about life in the circus? At least you can have food." Xia Tian could hardly imagine what kind of hellish life an 11-year-old mutant child would experience. Especially the appearance of Nightcrawler is too special.

The facts were not as expected by Xia Tian. Nightcrawler's emotions were instantly aroused. In the circus, his life was worse than the days when he was disgusted and chased by people when he was wandering around. Those employees were simply demons from hell. But he kept saying that Nightcrawler looked more like a demon.

"You won't have that kind of life anymore, Kurt. From now on, your life will no longer be so gloomy. I will give you a new life, a warm home, and a group of friendly friends." Xia Tian pressed He looked at Nightcrawler's head and looked directly into his hurriedly dodging eyes, "And a goal in life."

Perhaps for such a child, the most important "goal in life" is not what he urgently needs. He needs a warm family and friendly friends more.

"Follow me, you won't want to give up such an opportunity, my people." Xia Tian said slowly.

"Okay, okay, sir." In fact, Night Walker had no choice at this time. A group of ordinary people could capture him and even decide his life or death. And Xia Tian can destroy everything about him in an instant.

Sad things happen all the time. Even though Nightcrawler's choice is forced and helpless, at least the new boss he meets is Xia Tian, ​​not another circus owner who abused him throughout his childhood.

"Ding

Recruiting people..."
