In Marvel's Kamen Rider Chronicle

Chapter 55 Do You Want Power?
This mutant ability is very tasteless. Mark once felt that his mutant ability had the opportunity to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. Unfortunately, from his birth to now, decades of events have passed. Not only did the mutant ability not evolve into a butterfly, but his The body is transformed into an immobile chrysalis.

Although only a half body.

That's why he's a good fit for the job.

Because he really can only sit motionless for a day.

No one in this world is willing to cut off communication with other people. Maybe you feel that you are a lonely and autistic person. However, as long as you still have the desire to communicate with other people and are afraid of being alone, you never want this to happen. on himself.

Magneto's Mutant Brotherhood has gradually gained a certain reputation among the mutant community. Mark once imagined what would happen if he joined the Brotherhood.

After thinking about it carefully, if I joined the fraternity, it would be like saying goodbye to my current life.

This was intolerable to him.

His family did not discriminate against him because of his mutant ability. Although he was said to be a silkworm chrysalis most of the time, it was more of a joke.

Especially now that he has found a job, this kind of teasing has become more concerned.

I am concerned about whether it will be inconvenient for him to sit there all day, such as what to do when he wants to go to the toilet... Although Mark expressed embarrassment about this, in fact, he does not need to eat anymore.

Mark always felt that one day he would really be like that kind of silkworm chrysalis, motionless to welcome the moment when he broke out of the cocoon in the future...

How should I put it, when I think about it carefully, I am a little excited, um, and also a little scared.

After all, his thinking is still human, and human beings are always full of fear of the unknown.

But those are things for the future, Mark is very happy now.

Especially when more and more people gathered from other cities to Devil City, Devil City has become more and more lively.

The construction of Devil City has been started for several years, but now there are more and more construction sites.

Especially after gradually gaining the attention of outside capital.

The headquarters of Stark and Osborne in New York is not far from here, even so, it does not mean that they are unwilling to open a branch with factories and warehouses here.

Compared with the somewhat "declining" situation in New York, Devil City even has a feeling of "thriving".

Of course, the reason why it is just a feeling is naturally because it is not a fact.

Only at night, under the dark night, will the true face of Devil City be revealed.

And tonight, Mark's family didn't know why, it was past the time to pick him up at night, but they still didn't show up.

Mark was not in a hurry, if his family wanted to abandon him, they could have abandoned him as early as a few years ago, even more than ten years ago, when he was a child.

The reason why it doesn't appear now is nothing more than a temporary matter.

Mark is already an adult, he doesn't think about it like a child, but he does have a little worry.

Because the night in Devil City is not peaceful.

"Da da da" the sound of running gradually became clearer. Mark looked up and saw a familiar figure. He heaved a sigh of relief and looked worriedly at the person who came by: "Emil, what happened? I seem to be in a hurry..."

Emile is his sister, and Mark loves his family, especially this sister.

Because only this younger sister played with him when he was young.

Oh, of course, it's not that adults don't want to, it's just that adults need to work, so they don't have so much time to spend with Mark.

"Mark, don't go back today, go, stay at my friend's place for one night..." Amir panted, but immediately said the whole story: "Several gangsters came to the house, they want to rob us Mom and Dad were blocked by them and couldn't get out, so I came first..."

Mark's face suddenly changed.

He knows.

Devil City is developing too fast, and now, the economic situation in New York can be said to be soaring all the way on the glideslope.

It is unknown how many people are unemployed in New York.

These people couldn't get along in New York, so they came to Devil City.

But it is impossible for Devil City to eat such a huge laid-off population.

There aren't that many jobs either.

Although the factories are still newly opened, the speed of people losing their jobs is not known how many times faster than the speed of opening factories.

That's it, it's just the beginning.

Prices are not rising too fast now, and once prices start to rise sharply, it means that the economic crisis has completely broken out and the crisis has reached every ordinary person.

During this period, some people who have not found a job will naturally choose in a bad direction.

Such as New York Hell's Kitchen features: gangsters.

But there are still differences between the gangs in Devil City and the gangs in Hell's Kitchen.

The gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, it's like Nima treats the gangsters as a profession, with a clear division of labor, organized and undisciplined, the key point is... having firepower.

What is firepower?
Don't you think that holding a broken revolver and an M1911 has firepower?
Therefore, compared with the gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, the gangsters in Devil City, which are composed of guys who have no jobs, can't get along, and have no ideas and dare not get big, can't be called gangsters at all, they can only be called punks.

However, even if it's a small gangster, even if it breaks the revolver and hits someone, it will kill someone...

Therefore, Mark was extremely anxious.

But Amir is right, the most important thing for the two of them now is to quickly find a place to hide.

Their parents won't let them go home is why they know better than anyone.

then……

"dong dong"

"Hi, we're closed today...ah, it's Amir Jiang." Yaz looked at the door of the bookstore, and was about to politely inform him that it was closed, but when he saw the person coming, he narrowed his eyes and smiled stand up.

"Sister Yaz, can my brother and I stay with you tonight?" Amir dragged Mark over here, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Emil looked at Yaz expectantly.

Yaz smiled slightly: "Hey, of course, but little Emir, why don't you go home? It's not a good boy to do not go home at night."

Amir shook his head while heaving a sigh of relief: "At home, there are some bad guys here...Damn it, why is our police station here like a decoration?"

Mark propped himself against the wall to sit up, and said casually, "The police station in New York is also a decoration, otherwise how could Hell's Kitchen be so chaotic."

Amir: "... those politicians who take money and do nothing, moths who waste taxpayers' money..."

Yaz looked at the two with a smile. After a long time, the two may have been tired of cursing, or maybe they couldn't think of more curse words, so they leaned against the wall and began to rest.

Devil City is developing rapidly, but there is one iron rule that has not wavered in the development-don't approach the bookstore in the center of Devil City.

This is how adults teach children.

children……

What can children know?
So many times Yaz is the biggest preschool teacher in Devil City.

Because there are always many children coming to her to play.

Although Emil is already in her teens, it doesn't stop her from wanting to find a teacher like Yaz who can guide her in various cultural courses.

Amir's parents were planning to sell their possessions in Devil City and settle in New York, because Amir was old enough to go to high school.

As a result, the economic crisis in the past few years gradually began to show signs. It was difficult to find jobs in New York, and the price of goods began to rise. They let go of their plans, but Amir has indeed reached the age of going to high school, and Devil City... has no high school.

Therefore, Amir has only self-study.Of course, these are only temporary, and it has to be said that compared with happy education, the probability of self-study to be admitted to university is actually higher.

Later, Emil met Yaz during a shopping trip, and she took Yaz as a teacher.

Compared with teachers and students, the two are more like friends.

Of course, it is the relationship that Amir unilaterally believes.

Yaz waited for Amir and Mark to stop talking, smiled slightly, then said softly "wait for me", then turned and walked into the interior of the bookstore.

Then came out with a tray.

On the tray, there are two tubes of green liquid in the transparent needle tube, which are constantly churning and moving.

Amir and Mark noticed this at the same time, and then...

The two swallowed their saliva at the same time...

They seem to get it...

Why do adults say never to go near this bookstore...

"The reason why you are afraid of those bastards is because you have no power, and here is the power you can use..." Yaz looked at the two with a smile, "how? This is the power that can protect your family. "

Amir's eyes at this time... are already full of fear...

　It’s too painful. After taking an ibuprofen, I got a high fever, but my whole body started to hurt, and my head was still dizzy. Damn it, I really want to kill those brickmen who say that the new crown is just a cold...
