After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

As soon as she got off the plane, Hilda felt the completely different atmosphere of New York and Gotham.

As a city with a relatively long history, Gotham always reveals an indescribable gloom. Even if it is approaching Christmas, it is still difficult to see much joyful atmosphere. Perhaps, only the Christmas decorations displayed in the expensive windows of the Diamond District The decorations barely remind Gotham people that Christmas is coming.But for New York, the atmosphere of Christmas is so strong that even Hilda, who just got off the plane, can feel it.

Everyone seems to be in a good mood. It’s another beautiful sunny day in New York. The red Christmas hats have been hung up early. Although this year’s winter is not as cold as it used to be, and it hasn’t even snowed yet, this does not prevent everyone from paying attention to The anticipation of Christmas.

This made Hilda, who was slightly depressed because of parting with Bruce, lighten up.

The recording of the voice went smoothly, and she unexpectedly chose a love song that had never been chosen before in this round of competition-this made everyone, including the judges and the audience, especially the director team. Happy, the executive director himself can already predict how much traffic and attention this episode will bring: After all, the public is like this, they always like to watch things with contrast, and hope to see stars do what they are not good at Or something that has never been done.

I didn't expect that Hilda, a "stab head" who has never been very cooperative with the program team, would actually make such a move to cater to the audience. The program director couldn't help hesitating when he recalled the plan for the program direction he had seen—you know ,According to the meaning above, the program team originally planned to find the reason of "not making much progress" today to eliminate the topic contestant Hilda Walker.

Originally, the act of eliminating a topical contestant was enough to make him feel heartbroken, but now that the contestant he cared about showed a "survival"-like cooperation, he couldn't help but feel even more concerned.

In particular, Hilda handed in a nearly perfect answer sheet - interpreting the song to the extreme with a voice full of emotions. Thinking of this, the director is even more embarrassing: ... If Hilda is not a mutant , just relying on her topicality, she will definitely be kept until the last round.

However, Hilda didn't choose a song she hadn't picked before in order to be able to stay and pander to the audience, as others imagined.

She chose a love song as her last farewell on stage, simply because she was in a beautiful love and felt the same way about it.

Although Hilda has actually been in love with Bruce for a long time, even before he recovered his memory, he already felt the ups and downs and ups and downs of love, but until now, Hilda really felt that she seemed to really I fell in love with an ordinary earthling like Bruce Wayne.

He has nothing, neither the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, nor the eternal life that can accompany her.There are many men on this earth who meet the "excellent" standard better than him, but he is the only one who makes her feel the urge to put everything aside for him when she embraces him at night—although it is only for a short moment, but That moment is enough to prove the existence of this love.

Because those plans can almost be said to be the whole meaning of her life before meeting Bruce.

Hilda was not stingy about admitting her feelings. Although she couldn't give up everything in the past, she did hesitate. She was killing Edvia, and the moment she got the key, she should execute her The next plan, however, thinking of the expression on Bruce's face when he knew everything she was going to do, made Hilda hesitate again and again, delaying the action again and again as time passed.

She told herself: Anyway, I have waited long enough for those cold things, so what if it was a little later?Perhaps, she can wait until the day when her love for Bruce disappears, and then she can ignore all the emotions that Bruce may have without any burden, and become the old Hilda again.

The spotlight on the stage poured coldly from the top of the head, Hilda stared at the running machine and the dark crowd in front of her, feeling a bit bored.

There are so many people on Earth, but none of them are Bruce.

...There is only one Bruce Wayne, and he is so precious, shouldn't he delay his actions for a short time because of him?

At this point, most of the recording of the program has been carried out, the final result will be announced soon, and the recording site has entered a short break.

Hilda turned a blind eye to the jealousy or sympathy of others, and walked off the stage in a hurry as usual to go to the bathroom at the end of the floor.

The washroom in the company building is spacious, perhaps because most of the people who come and go are from the entertainment industry. The washroom is well-lit and equipped with a clean mirror, which is convenient for women to touch up their makeup or tidy up their appearance.

Hilda seldom used this mirror, and most of the time, she would not even bother to look up at it, but today, she had to raise her head, and quietly walked into the bathroom with this mirror in the mirror. The big star in the studio and the judge of the show - Edith Gerrard caught sight.

Dressed in a high dress, she gracefully walked behind Hilda, and also looked at her through the mirror: "Hey, Hilda."

Hilda washed her hands slowly and turned off the tap: "...Miss Gerrard, what do you want?"

"You did a great job tonight, my dear, and surprised me even more than ever...and I was a little curious about it," Edith Gerrard said to her with a smile, "You know what happened today Is the script content of the recording of the show?"

"The content of the script..." Hilda repeated, and then asked rhetorically, "Perhaps you mean that I will be eliminated in today's competition?"

"...Yes," Edith was a little surprised, she raised her eyebrows and stared at Hilda, seemingly puzzled by her calm attitude, "I thought you would be very angry about this, but you seem to have calmed down accepted it?"

No, this is not consistent with her initial assumption. She thought that with Hilda's character, she would be dissatisfied with such an unfair and obviously discriminatory thing, but why... Did she misunderstand her?

"Even if I don't accept it, things won't change, will they?" Hilda turned her head, half leaning against the sink, and opened her hands to Edith in front of her, "I know very well that this decision is not made by one person. What can be done is just a game result that is finally presented before our eyes."

"Aren't you angry?" Edith couldn't help but asked back, her tone was a little provocative, "It's not fair, isn't it? You obviously have a lot of strength, but because of Being guarded and feared by an identity that cannot be changed—yes, you know what I’m talking about, mutant,” she slowed down her tone, her voice was obviously very low, but she seemed to pause every word, “…just because You're a mutant, and all the injustice found a place to attack. Don't you think that's acceptable?"

Hilda was noncommittal: "Maybe you are thinking too simply, ma'am, I guess there are more factors." There is Jin Bin's shadow behind the voice, but Jin Bin will not change her attitude just because of her mutant identity , after all, he already knew about it.He'd do that because he'd gotten some other news, like Hilda's getting mixed up with superheroes, or something... something that didn't please him.

Hilda even felt that with Jin Bin's personality, he might deal with her personally because he felt cheated. He didn't come now because he knew that he was not Hilda's opponent in terms of force alone, but once he found the opportunity, He'd be more than happy to join in.

Edith obviously didn't know the twists and turns behind this. In her view, Hilda was just looking for excuses for her cowardice, so her expression had turned cold: "You are so cowardly? Are you not Are you proud of being a mutant? Could it be that your glory is to give up confrontation in this situation and directly choose to acquiesce in the ridiculous and ignorant discrimination against mutants?!"

Hilda stared at her: "What right do you have to criticize me here? This unknown lady who dare not face me with her true face?"

Edith paused, a light flashed in her eyes: "...I don't know what you are talking about."

"I don't know much about mutants." Hilda was a little bored, "so I don't know the name of the mutant who can transform into other people, so would you like to introduce yourself?"

Edith tilted her head and hesitated for a moment. Although she was disappointed with Hilda now, out of some trust and original purpose, she still made a decision.

The skin on her face is changing inch by inch. This scene is horrifying to ordinary people. When the blue color covers Edith's beautiful face, showing an inhuman blue face, Hilda has changed from artificial to human. Smart got her identity there.

"People from the fraternity." Hilda played with taste, "...do you have anything to do with me?"

"We would like to invite you to be one of us."

"I know your ideas, but no matter where you look at it, I don't seem to belong to your school?"

Mystique raised the corners of her lips, apparently finding Hilda's question a bit ridiculous: "I've already felt that you have great power, but you don't know how to use it correctly... However, I believe that's only because you still Too young. We welcome powerful compatriots. This invitation is sincere. Even if your answer is no, we are happy to wait for the day when you change your mind."

Hilda laughed.Whether it was Mystique calling her "too young" or asking her to join the fraternity itself, she felt a little ridiculous.

"Just for this?"

"And one more thing," Mystique said, "a small reminder... Stryker is after you."
