I'm so tired of traveling all the time
Chapter 248 Mysterious Organization
The funeral of Xiao Hei and Andrew ended quickly. After all, they were "aliens" with special abilities!
In the eyes of the government, they are mutated evil people, and their ability to fly and teleport is simply due to the power of technology.
Moreover, a so-called government laboratory issued a notice on the same day, saying that it had invented a small controllable magnetic levitation device that was still in the secret experimental stage, but it was stolen during an internal demonstration!
Little Black Steve and Andrew, and of course Matt who disappeared from the public eye, have now become thieves, and thieves guilty of military felonies!
The government also issued a wanted order, offering a huge reward for Matt's escape, and the amount is very high. Even if his true whereabouts are found, a generous reward can be obtained!
This news is so overwhelming that it is hard not to pay attention.
Wen Liang looked at the bounty that appeared again in the news, and said to Matt who was curled up on the sofa, "It seems that you are very valuable now~"
"Yeah, I'm a walking money printing machine now!" Matt still looked listless. The physical and mental torture had not healed so quickly. "Maybe you can use me to exchange for money, so that you can pay the rent~"
Wen Liang smiled and handed over a cup of hot milk. "When I'm really short of money one day, maybe I'll consider it... But you'll be disappointed now, I don't seem to be short of money!"
"Maybe I really should be arrested. After all, I killed Andrew..."
"Okay, Matt!" Wen Liang interrupted him. This was not the first time Matt had said such discouraging words. "Andrew has changed. You killed him out of necessity, and you saved more people. This is not your fault!"
"But you know the wanted warrant is always there. I can't go back home now, and my parents are also affected by it... maybe one day it will implicate you!" Matt said dejectedly.
"Matt, I saved you. This was my choice, do you understand? And think about the content of the wanted warrant. Why is it not to shoot you, but to report any traces found, and to capture you? Have you thought about it?" Wen Liang sat aside, pointing at the news on TV and said.
Matt frowned, staring at the wanted poster scrolling on the TV. "Maybe I still have value in existence. For example... persuade me to be obedient and become a superhero?"
"You have a nice idea, but do you believe in the US government?" Wen Liang rolled his eyes. "There is even a mental hospital actively looking for you!"
"Can you let me have a good dream? I know the faces of those shit-eating politicians. Maybe they caught me as a good experimental subject... But what do you mean by mental hospital?"
"Did you know that we are not the only ones in this world with super powers?"
Matt perked up immediately after hearing this, and tried to sit up. "Does anyone else have superpowers? Oh, that's right. We got superpowers after we touched the mysterious stone underground! If I can do it, maybe others can do it too!"
"You're right, Matt, but that's not all I want to say!" Wen Liang looked at Matt and said, "There are many people in this world who are born with superpowers!"
"Born?!"
"Innate!" Wen Liang affirmed, "You three only developed superpowers after you came into contact with the activation crystal. It's like you already have a recessive gene for superpowers, but you just couldn't show it before.
But after being induced by the activation crystal, the genes were stimulated to mutate, and the superpowers were activated!"
Wen Liang paused to let Matt digest the information, then continued, "For some people, their superpower genes are activated from birth, which means they have superpowers from birth!"
"Born with..." Matt couldn't imagine what it would be like, a baby using telekinesis at will?
"But why have I never heard of such news?"
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "No, you should have heard of it, or everyone should have heard of it! Just think about it, if a woman gives birth to a child, she will always appear in the house inexplicably when no one is passing by, the door will open automatically, things in the cupboard will fall out, the curtains will move without wind, and things on the table will fall to the ground..."
"I understand. After seeing those scenes, people will definitely think that there are ghosts and will not suspect a baby!" Matt said excitedly. He has heard a lot of such news and thought they were just horror stories!
"That's right, who would have thought that this was done by a child?" Wen Liang nodded in confirmation. He discovered this when he was searching for information on the Internet. In particular, the combination of the strange things that happened at home when Jiali was a child and his abilities made Wen Liang discover the clues.
At this moment, Matt was suddenly stunned, and thought of something and said quickly, "I heard that there seems to be someone in school. When I was a child, strange things always happened at home. Could it be that..."
"You mean Carrie, Carrie White?" Wen Liang glanced at Matt, and unexpectedly he thought of this girl all of a sudden, "Yes, she is a person born with super powers!"
"That's not right. But she usually looks timid and doesn't look like she has any superpowers at all. Besides, she is always bullied by others and she never resists..."
"That's because she always takes a special drug that suppresses the emergence of her superpowers!" Wen Liang spoke faintly, finally naming the mysterious organization, "and this drug comes from that mysterious organization, a place known as a mental hospital!"
"No wonder I heard that Carrie's mental state is not good and she always takes medicine to maintain it... But why is she like this? Isn't it good to have superpowers?"
Matt finished speaking, and quickly added, "Of course, it's not good to be targeted by the government, but other than that, I can't think of anyone who would refuse this ability!"
"This was not her choice. It was her mother's. This is a long story. Just know that it was her mother's choice. She was sent to a mental hospital for treatment and then used drugs to suppress her abilities until last week!"
"I see. No wonder she has always been like an ordinary person. I didn't expect there is such an organization. It's really scary. Doesn't the government care about them, but...wait!"
Matt was stunned, as if he just realized what Wen Liang said, "You said that Jiali's ability was suppressed until last week... So you mean that she discovered her own ability?!"
Wen Liang smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is a gift from God, not a curse from the devil. Moreover, because of the suppression of the medicine and her mother's disgust, Jiali's life is too hard!"
"So you helped her and got kicked out of school!" Matt continued Wen Liang's words, "Is it worth it to do this for someone you don't know well?"
Wen Liang shook his head. He knew he wasn't that noble. But when faced with a choice, he would definitely help a character he liked, and he didn't rely on the school salary to live!
But the words are not so direct, it needs to be raised to a higher level, "Then when you are faced with it, will you choose to stand by and watch?"
Matt shook his head with a gleam in his eyes. "I don't know, but I like the decision you make. This is why I admire you!"
"Don't look at me like that, unless you're a girl~"
With some jokes, the atmosphere became relaxed.
"So will you still help Carrie?" Matt asked, "The prom is coming soon. She has few friends and might become the target of bullying by the school bullies, especially Chris!"
Wen Liang leaned back and lay on the sofa, saying with a somewhat uncertain tone, "Maybe..."
