Masked Rider from Marvel World

Hank was a little surprised by Jimmy's calm performance. Was his appearance not scary enough, or was this kid's mentality too strong?
After a moment, he realized something was wrong with his body, and when he looked down, he saw that the blue claws and hair were fading quickly, turning back into normal human arms, but the rest of the body still looked like a beast.
"I'm sorry." Jimmy whispered. This ability was not something he could control at will.
"It doesn't matter." Hank looked at his right hand, his face full of emotion. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had turned back into a normal person, not even with just one arm.
"Thank you, Jimmy, you have an amazing talent."
"This ability is quite interesting." Ling Ge said meaningfully, "Mutants within a certain range of him will temporarily lose their abilities, and will return to normal outside of his range."
"It's amazing, isn't it?" the middle-aged woman laughed.
Ling Ge nodded, but in his heart he was more certain of his guess. The effect of the therapeutic agent was definitely temporary. It was impossible to achieve a permanent cure for this child. At most, it could only suppress it temporarily.
"Why don't you go over and say hello to this kid?" Hank walked over and said speechlessly, "You're the deputy minister after all! It's your job to care about mutant children."
"I can't, because it's meaningless. If nothing unexpected happens, I won't have any contact with this child in the future."
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Deputy Minister, you must have very few friends.”
"Not many, but when I need them, they will come no matter how far they are." Ling Ge said firmly, then looked around the room, his eyes slightly moved, "Can I make a small suggestion?"
"You say."
“Everything in this room is fine, except that the window is a little too narrow.
If possible, could you make the window bigger, at least so that Jimmy can see the outside world! "
"Really?" Jimmy walked up to the three people without knowing when, his eyes full of desire.
The middle-aged woman raised her head slightly, looked at the window that was only the size of two books, and sighed deeply. This was indeed their negligence.
"Okay, but you have to stay on the left side of the room for the next half day, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out the construction."
"Very good.
Thank you, Doctor, and you, Mr. Deputy Minister." Jimmy bowed happily to the two of them, and then sat back down, playing the game much faster.
Hank was stunned by this scene. Wasn't he the one who showed goodwill first?
Ling Ge patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Learn this, this is the correct way to care for mutant children.
You have to first figure out what he wants and needs most. If a simple greeting or handshake is enough to show your concern, then you might as well raise a Wangcai dog!"
Hank: ...
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting. Who is the Minister of Mutant Affairs?
The next day.
Magneto, with Mystique, John and a few people recruited yesterday, spread the existence of the healing agent.
Just one clone completed 99 percent of the work. Countless leaflets were flying on the streets. One person told ten people, ten told a hundred people, and in less than half a day, they spread throughout the city.
No matter known mutants or hidden mutants, after knowing the existence of the treatment agent, they all had a feeling that a storm was coming. As the first mutant walked out of the house to protest, the second and the third followed one after another. Soon the streets were filled with the voices of protest, and the slogan "No Treatment Needed" was particularly conspicuous.
In the Mutant Academy, Charles and his students were watching the spectacular parade on TV, their brows furrowed.
"Ling Ge really was right, but I didn't expect so many mutants to respond to the call." Logan murmured. Just looking at the endless crowd on TV, there must be at least a thousand people, and the actual number is definitely much more than this.
"There is nothing we can do about it." Professor X said, "Humans can wait, but mutants can't, they feel threatened.
Every minute of delay would increase the danger. Eric had no choice but to strike first.
Like he said, this is a war, an inevitable war.”
At this time, the picture on the TV turned into Magneto's personal live broadcast.
He sat in front of a table, his face serious, "Today we are just stating our attitude, but as long as the treatment exists, we will continue.
Your cities will no longer be safe, your streets will no longer be safe, and you will no longer be safe.
As for my fellow mutants, I ask you to join us, or get out of our way, too many have already died..."
Office of the President.
Minister Trisk turned off the TV. "We are trying to track him down."
The president immediately stood up and said, "This is too much. We can't let him do whatever he wants. This is related to national security. I want the army to be equipped with guns loaded with therapeutic agents."
"Mr. President, isn't this too..."
"Hank," the president interrupted him directly, "We were all very restrained at the meeting, but this time it was Magneto who took the initiative to instigate this matter.
Since he wants to start a war, we have no choice but to fight back."
Hank fell silent after hearing this, and then glanced at Ling Ge who was drinking coffee, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"Should I say anything? You should be prepared for this kind of scenario."
“That’s true, but those mutants who are unaware are innocent.
They were all forced to come forward because of the threat of the potion."
"But they have come out," the president said helplessly.
"Then let them retreat!" Ling Ge said, "We all saw what happened just now. It would be fine if they were all young and strong, but why did those old men and women in their seventies and eighties come here to join in the fun?
Minister Trisk, do you have the heart to shoot these mutants who have one foot in the coffin and have never violated any laws?"
Cui Si Ke was stunned for a moment, "I'm not that cruel, but the premise is that they are not our enemies. Otherwise, I will have to shoot even if I can't bear it."
“So, we have to give this group of mutants a chance to choose.
Now is the right time to tell them the original intention of developing the treatment agent. After all, not every mutant wants to be a mutant, and they are seriously hurt by this identity!"
"What do you mean?" The president's eyes sparkled, and he felt as if he had suddenly become enlightened.
"Treatment is voluntary, isn't it?"
The president suddenly realized and said happily: "Deputy Minister Ling Ge is right. So far we have not forced any mutants to receive treatment. The greater good is on our side.
As long as the Worthing Laboratory issues a statement, the mutants who voluntarily accept treatment will naturally separate from the marching crowd.”
"That's right. After seeing the government's sincerity and the effectiveness of the treatment, the mutants who are waiting and watching will naturally withdraw from the parade, or at worst choose not to help either side.
After this and that, the only ones left are the enemies.
They enjoy the convenience and superiority brought by their abilities and will never allow the existence of therapeutic agents. It is inevitable that they will join Magneto's team. ".
620. Prepare for war. Is this my responsibility?
"When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake wants to admit that it caused it.
But if there are no snowflakes, how can there be an avalanche? "Ling Ge said meaningfully, "Minister Hank, I really have no way to protect those mutants who choose to go all the way with Magneto. They may not have done anything wrong before, but what they are going to do next is..."
"No need to say more, I completely understand what you mean." Hank said in a deep voice. As a mutant, he really didn't want to fight a war with mutants, but the current situation was beyond his control.
After hesitating for a moment, Hank stood up and said, "Mr. President, I plan to go to the Mutant Academy. Those soldiers alone may not be able to stop Magneto. I have to go and see if I can find reinforcements."
"I'm really glad that you have this awareness." The president said with relief, and then looked at Triske beside him, "Minister Triske, please notify the Worthing Laboratory and make sure to protect them."
"I understand." Cui Si Ke nodded and walked towards the door.
“Mr. President, this is all we can do right now. How things will develop next depends on the outcome of this war.
If we win, everything will be fine and the world will enter a relatively smooth transition period.
But if he loses, Magneto may not stop there. He may take this opportunity to start a decisive battle between mutants and humans."
“Of course I understand this, but we still cannot stop tracking down Magneto.
But to ensure everything goes well, I would like to ask you to help me join the war." The president said nervously, "This is my plea."
Ling Ge was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then slowly put down the coffee in his hand, "No problem."
"Thank you."
Afterwards, Ling Ge and Hank walked out of the President's office together.
“You should go to the Mutant Academy first!
Before each battle, I have to tell my family and then come to join you."
"Got it, I need to send a car..."
Hank stopped talking halfway because Ling Ge had entered the dimensional wall and disappeared in front of him.
"Ah!" Hank smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What a convenient magic, but why didn't you send me a favor?"
...
After returning home, Ling Ge lay on the sofa alone, took out a test tube and looked at it carefully.
"What is this?" Wanda came over and asked curiously.
"It's a finished product from the Worthing Laboratory. It can suppress mutant genes, but the suppression time is uncertain."
"Is it for the little rascal?"
“Yes, after this time, we should probably leave.
Although I can ensure that she will be safe for the next hundred years, what about after that?
This treatment is specially made with a shelf life of two hundred years and is enough for ten mutants.
Leave this to the little rascal, and we can leave in peace."
"Not really!" Wanda's mouth twitched. "I mean, isn't this preparation a bit too exaggerated? We don't even know if she can live that long."
"In fact, she really has the potential to live that long." Ling Ge said seriously, "I gave her extremely strong life energy, and her ability absorbs the lifespan of ordinary people.
Although she is extremely lacking in combat power, she might even be able to surpass Wolverine in terms of longevity.
I can help her temporarily, but I can't help her forever, and the little rascal's life may be quite long."
"Alas! Sometimes living a long life is not a good thing." Wanda sighed, then grabbed the healing agent and threw it casually under Ling Ge's astonished gaze.
Click!
The test tube fell to the floor, glass shattered everywhere, and transparent liquid splashed out.
Ling Ge: ...
"What are you doing? You don't have a fever, do you?
I had to lower my dignity and beg for this from that doctor with great difficulty."
"I don't care. Who told you to give her so much life? You're irresponsible when you're leaving. Are you going to let her fend for herself after she's a hundred years old?"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Ling Ge immediately waved his hand to deny it.
"Then what's the difference between what you're doing and being irresponsible?"
“Can this be the same?
As the saying goes, 'it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish'. I gave her a hundred years to control her ability and left her a tube of treatment agent, which is enough for her to live safely to 200 years old. No matter how you look at it, I have done my best!
If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Professor X and see if he can do better than me.”
"I now treat Moli as my little sister. My sister is your sister, and you can't just ignore her.
Besides, every woman hates irresponsible men. You don’t want me to hate you too, do you? "
“You...I..." After two seconds, Ling Ge looked at Wanda’s profile and said speechlessly: “You win.
Tell me! What do you want me to do? "
"Hehe!" Wanda smiled and hugged his arm directly, "Or, let her go with us!"
"Impossible, are you kidding me?" Ling Ge said in astonishment, "Taking you two with me is already Odin's mercy, who do you think I am if I take another one?
Do you really think it's easy to travel across the universe?"
"No way? Then why don't we just come back every ten days or half a month to give her some vitality? That will be all."
"Haha! You're going to tire me to death!" Ling Ge couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, muttering, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. The ancients were right. This is totally unreasonable!"
"Did you just scold me?"
Ling Ge keenly sensed the faint murderous aura in the air and quickly said, "No, you must have heard it wrong."
"There is no best, so what is your decision?"
"Um... I suddenly remembered that Professor X seemed to have something to talk to me about. I'll be leaving now."
