Chapter 1022

As a Mutant, although Clarice has an almost omnipotent big brother, she herself is not particularly powerful.

Not to mention that compared with her sister-in-law, who is known as the strongest Mutant, she might not even be able to board the first flight of steps in Mutant's ranking. However, her abilities are somewhat special. It can even be said that it can basically benefit her invincible. Therefore, she should not be regarded as a useless display.

Furthermore, her ability is extremely convenient in life. From Huiyao City to Los Angeles, it takes two days to drive and several hours to fly. But for Clarice, this is just a question of two beeps of "biubiu".

The forefoot just got ready to pack, that is, I changed my clothes and carried a shoulder bag. At the next moment, the Clarice people have already appeared in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is one of the world's industrial and commercial, international trade, science, education, culture, entertainment and sports centers. This beautiful city is located in the southwest part of California, United States. It has the largest seaport in western United States and one of the largest bases for the petrochemical, marine, aerospace, and electronics industries of the United States. At the same time, many well-known higher education institutions in the world such as Caltech school, University of California Los Angeles, University of Southern California, Pepperdine University, etc. are located here.

At the same time, the famous Hollywood is also an important symbol of this kind of city. Because this is almost the most beautiful place in the entire United States, it is also called the City of Angels.

Now, the city of Ophanim is no longer just the largest city in California. With the fall of New York and the shift of the center of gravity of United States, this city has become the largest metropolitan area in the west of United States and even the entire United States. The ambitious American even wants to make it the second New York, no. It is a more prosperous world metropolis than New York. But in Clarice's view, this city does not have the shadow of a metropolis.

Although the structure of the city is row upon row, it gives people a splendorous and majestic feeling everywhere. But the streets are depressed. There are very few vehicles and not many pedestrians. Even if I occasionally see two people passing by, they are all in a hurry. Not only does the entire city lack the prosperous hustle and bustle of New York in the past, but there is a dead silence. This strange situation really made Clarice extremely incomprehensible.

"I ran in the wrong place, right." She muttered to herself naturally, constantly looking all around. But whether it was the all around sign or the Beverly Hills in front of her, they had already told her very clearly that she didn't go wrong.

So, why is this happening? Clarice hadn't figured out the problem yet, a voice suddenly interrupted her reverie.

"Is this beautiful Young Lady a tourist here? I have to say, you are really not at the right time!"

That is a heavy carry French accent. And listening to this tone, Clarice turned his head subconsciously. Then she immediately found the source of the sound.

It is a dessert shop that is not very large, but is decorated very clean and warm. In the small shop, an old man wearing a chef's clothes, showing a slightly fat figure and a warm smile on his face, stood behind the counter and said to her.

"Because of what happened in United Kingdom before, there are some people who were alarmed in the whole city. Everyone is worried about whether this kind of terrifying will happen to the owner. So, everyone has nothing to do. I'm thinking about work. This is really a bad world, isn't it?"

The old man said such frustrated words, but there was still a smile on his face. This made Clarice immediately have a different sense of the old man. So she opened the door of the dessert shop, sat at the counter, and smiled and said to the old man.

"It's really bad. But sir, why don't you hide? Since everyone is so scared, don't you feel it at all?"

"Ha! Don't underestimate me, beautiful Young Lady!" The old man smiled heartily, but he kept getting a cool drink in front of Clarice. Then some braggingly pointed to the photo behind oneself, and said to her. "Don't look at my little shop that is unremarkable. Back then, this little shop of mine was opened in the most chaotic neighborhood in New York, and it opened for more than ten years. In that place, if you don't have a little ability, you can't open it for that long Time. And it was a few years ago when New York was implementing the Mutant special police system. My shop is the most frequented place by the Mutant police. I and those interesting youngsters can be considered friends. So mine The brat is not comparable to the brat outside."

Clarice was interested in the words of the old man. She took a close look at the photo framed in the frame hanging behind the old man. Sure enough, I saw a lot of familiar silhouettes in it. There are Rogue's and Pyro John's. Even the big man of Steel Lux was inside. This made her immediately believe the old man's words, and at the same time she looked at him with admiration.

Know that Mutant's status at that time was not as good as now. Not to mention everyone shouting and beating, but colored glasses are indispensable. It is really rare among humans to show a friendly attitude towards Mutant and make friends at that time. It can even be said that this is an old friend of Mutant.

In the face of such an old friend, Clarice is not good at continuing to hide his own identity. So in front of the old man, she took off her beret and exposed her pointed ears that were carefully covered by purple hair.

If the hair is purple, it can be said that it is dyed, and if the eyes are green, it can be said that it has cosmetic contact lenses. There are lines on the face, which can be said to be a special tattoo. But the ears are pointed, which is completely impossible to explain with common sense. Although the old man is old, he is not yet confused. So he froze for a moment, then immediately smiled at Clarice.

"So Young Lady, you are a Mutant? You are so old, you can't even see this. It seems that it will not be too far from when I retire!"

"Sorry, I am worried that my own identity will cause trouble to hide. I just didn't expect to meet someone like you here."

"Don't be sorry, beautiful Young Lady." Smile With shook the head, the old man waved his hands generously and said. "Actually, you don’t even need to hide oneself. The world now is different from the previous world. If you reveal your own identity, I’m afraid many people will be very enthusiastic about you. Like just now, if I knew you If you are a Mutant, you will not be invited to drink this cheap drink, but you will be invited to taste my luxurious sundae for free."

"Boss, is it a bit exaggerated? Now." Clarice also regarded this as a kindly teasing from the Boss. But the old man shook his head and said to her seriously.

"This is not an exaggeration. Do you know what is most concerned about after the United Kingdom incident was reported? It was the British who survived less than 1,000,000. And these 1,000,000 people, Except for a few good luck that can save themselves, almost all of them were saved by the Superhero. Although some people criticized, these Superhero did not save this country. But those of us who have experienced disasters and survived from it know that, They have tried their best. To survive so many people is already the result of these people's desperate efforts."

Said this, the old man's face wore a sarcastic smile.

"Those people scolded fiercely, but the actions of their subordinates were not slow at all. They knew that some Superhero were unwilling to reveal their own identity. Simply put their idea on Mutant. You Go to those high-end restaurants, you can almost see signs of discounts for Mutant. Even some stores have opened special Mutant passages. They are desperately trying to build with those who can protect them. The purpose is to be helped by these superpower users when they encounter threats. I really don’t know, what did they do earlier."

The old man’s saying is probably oneself again. The ridicule received at the beginning was injustice. As a Mutant, Clarice can see more. For all this, she had only a wry smile in her heart.

His big brother has worked hard for so long, but he can't completely change the human attitude towards Mutant. Countless money has been sown, and countless blood and sweat has been paid, but it can only be recognized by a few people. The people of overwhelming majority still hated Mutant at that time. They forced the leader of Mutant to the trial seat, and even after the city of Mutant appeared, they launched a war against Mutant.

Although all this was solved by his powerful big brother, humans still have a grudge with Mutant. But now, just because of an invisible threat, humans have directly put aside their own prejudices and changed their attitudes towards Mutant. This really makes Clarice, who has witnessed that kind of pay, born a kind of not knowing what to say. Good feeling.

She couldn't help being sighed, her eyes drifting inadvertently, but she saw the hint of anxiety on the old man's face. The clever girl immediately understood what he was worried about, so she immediately said with a smile to the old man.

"Don't worry, sir. Mutant will never forget his friend. We all know in our hearts who pays us sincerely. You are our friend and will always be."

Such a guarantee made the old man who was also worried in his heart immediately laugh. He put on the chef's apron, put on the tall hat, and said to Clarice happily.

"Mutant is also my most proud friend. The beautiful Young Lady, don’t leave today. I invite you to the most authentic French meal. I promise, even the chefs of those big restaurants There is no such skill as me."

"Then I will deference is no substitute for obedience!"
