Chapter 217 New Totem Mutants Appear

Lorraine walked out of Stark Tower.

He looked up at the sky, the wind was gentle and the clouds were calm, and the years were quiet.

No one knows what kind of twists and turns the world will bring next.

"Little Thomas should be starting to adjust to the world by now."

Lorraine sighed, "I hope he can bring some new waves to this stagnant world."

……

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rang, hurried footsteps came from inside the house, and then, a beautiful woman opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Scott, who was holding a teddy bear and smiling.

"Hi Maggie!"

Scott stammered, greeting his ex-wife.

"Long time no see, you have become more beautiful."

"Scott, stop being so glib!"

Maggie rolled her eyes, "You have never been good at complimenting others. There is no need to force yourself to do so. Come in, Cathy has been waiting for you for a long time."

Because of Scott's criminal record, he can only see his daughter once a month.

Today is a rare day to see my daughter.

"father!"

As soon as Scott entered the door, his little angel ran downstairs and fluttered into his arms like a butterfly.

"Cathy! I miss you so much!"

Scott hugged his daughter tightly as if he were holding the most precious treasure in life.

Let us leave the happy time between father and daughter to Scott and Cathy without disturbing it.

The sun was setting in the west, and the day passed quickly.

For Scott, who was happily reunited with his daughter, it was just a snap of his fingers.

At this time, Scott was sitting on the sofa holding Cathy and telling her a story.

Then the sound of a vehicle being put into storage was heard, and then the door opened and the man of the house came back.

Paxton, Scott's ex-wife's current husband, police captain, and Cathy's current legal guardian.

"Hi, Pike!"

Scott said hello with a smile, which was a bit forced.

This is probably a skill that adults must learn.

"Scott, are you here?"

Pike changed his shoes at the door and said smoothly, "I heard you found a job recently?"

I did find it, but it has been dismissed.

Scott didn't explain, just said: "Absolutely, it can be considered a good job."

"That's good, settle down and be a good person. Life is still long. Let's stay and have dinner together today."

Pike took off his uniform, Maggie got him a home coat, and took the uniform that Pike handed over.

Then, Maggie suddenly found a scratch on the uniform, which had torn the uniform.

"How is this going?"

Maggie immediately felt a little worried. The job of the police is inherently dangerous now, and Parker is a person who likes to keep everything in his heart.

She began to forcibly examine her husband's body.

Sure enough, Pike's shirt was also scratched, and there was a strange scar on his waist.

Maggie ran her fingers over her husband.

It was a straight, red scar, like a knife wound, but there was no sign of bleeding.

"Oh, I probably scratched it accidentally."

Pike said casually, not intending to tell his wife the true situation.

Maggie rubbed the location of the scar with her fingers. The skin turned red and the scar showed no sign of dissipating.

Scott heard the movement here and couldn't help but look back.

Then, his eyes froze.

On the scar on Pike's body, he saw a curl of black mist lingering on it, unable to be driven away.

And judging from the looks of Maggie and Pike, they clearly couldn't see the black fog.

At this time, the black mist was still spreading.

"Pike!"

Scott was anxious.

To be fair, he didn't like Pike and always felt that he had taken away everything from him.

But he had to admit that without Pike, during the years when he was in prison, Maggie would not have been able to survive alone with Cathy.

If possible, Scott hopes that when Pike encounters a little trouble, he can secretly breathe out.

But he never wants to see Pike's life in danger!

Something is obviously wrong with the current situation!

Scott put Cathy on the sofa, took three steps and two steps to get to Parker, staring closely at the scars on his body.

"Scott, what's wrong with you..."

Pike felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Scott. He wanted to put on his clothes, but Scott held his hand down, preventing the next movement.

"Where did this scratch come from?"

Scott's tone was serious, "This is very important, Parker, you must not hide it, I don't want anything to happen to you!"

This……

Pike turned to look at his wife again, who also looked worried.

Ok!

Pike sighed. He originally didn't intend to say it, but now he obviously couldn't hide it anymore.

"Cathy, why don't you go to your room and play by yourself first?"

Pike coaxed Cathy upstairs, and what he said next was really not suitable for a child to hear.

Cathy was very obedient and ran back to her room.

Scott and the three of them were the only ones left in the living room downstairs.

"This is a case that happened in the past few days."

Parker sat on the sofa and slowly told what happened during this period.

"There have been many bizarre disappearances recently. The missing subjects are all young single women, and the missing places are all in their own homes."

Maggie reacted immediately: "You seem to have mentioned this to me and asked me to pay more attention to safety at home."

In the city of New York, disappearances are actually not uncommon.

The number of missing persons reported in the United States every year is approximately 30 to 40, with an average of missing persons reported every day.

Of course, most of the missing people here can be found in the end, but there are only a few who are never found or even disappear from the world.

Cases like this where young women disappeared serially, and none of them have been found, and it only takes many years for a case to occur.

Once it appears, it will easily cause panic in society.

"This case has given us a lot of headaches recently."

Pike said slowly, "After all, this kind of disappearance case that only targets young women can easily remind people of bad things and attract the attention of feminist organizations. Our police department has devoted almost all its resources to solve it as soon as possible. this case.

"And just today, the case finally made some progress."

Having said this, Pike paused for a moment, as if thinking about what to say next.

"I promised you in advance that no matter how unbelievable what happens next, you have to believe me. I'm not making up horror stories!" "Don't worry!"

Scott thought to himself, what has become of this society now, what else is impossible.

Parker's reminder is really unnecessary.

"Today, we discovered another missing case. It was a young woman who entered her home and never appeared again."

Parker began to talk about his experience today, "But that woman is a person with a strong sense of self-prevention. She installed surveillance cameras in her home. It is precisely because of this surveillance that we could not even imagine what we saw before. things.

"During the surveillance, the woman was just sitting in front of the dressing table and didn't seem to be in any condition. We paid attention to the door to see if someone had tricked her into opening the door.

"But the facts proved that we were all wrong. From beginning to end, except for the woman, no other person appeared in the surveillance.

"And that woman disappeared directly in front of our eyes."

Disappear directly...

Scott asked: "Are you sure you just disappeared and there wasn't something wrong with the surveillance?"

"No."

Pike shook his head and said, "We checked the surveillance, and there was no problem. It just disappeared. One frame ago, the woman was still sitting in front of the dressing table. One frame later, there was no one in the surveillance."

His tone was extremely firm, making sure that he had read correctly.

The police department has double-checked everything, and if there was a problem, it would have been discovered long ago.

"Then what happened to your wound?"

Maggie was still more worried about her husband, "You can't look at the surveillance and think you're hurt, right?"

"This wound appeared during the inspection of the scene."

Parker recalled, "We later focused on checking the dresser. When checking the mirror, I suddenly felt a stabbing pain in my waist, and then there was this wound, but because it was just a scratch on my clothes, I thought it might just be a scratch. Where is it?"

impossible.

Scott immediately made a judgment in his heart.

The black mist on Pike's wound was obviously a mark made by someone to track Pike's location...

and many more!

Scott suddenly thought of a terrifying thing, which made him break into a cold sweat.

If Pike's location is located, isn't this place already being targeted?

Cathy is still here!

On the other side, Maggie was still chattering to Parker: "You should also pay attention to this case. If there are any mutants involved..."

Mutant?

Scott suddenly thought that Pike had just said clearly that he was injured while checking the mirror.

Mirror.

This word now has a very special meaning in Scott's eyes.

All his recent special encounters are related to mirrors.

At this moment, all the evil things Pike had just said seemed to Scott to have answers.

The woman who disappeared suddenly was probably not missing, but was pulled into the mirror.

And the person who did this kind of thing, like himself, was also the one chosen by the totem.

Scott felt chills all over his body. He had now seen a total of three people selected by the totem.

Killmonger, Sam and Thomas.

Sam and Thomas were not the ones to do such a thing, and Killmonger didn't seem to show any interest in kidnapping young women.

The person who did this is obviously a new totem!

And now, this man has his sights on Pike.

Pike is certainly not a young woman, but his investigation of the disappearance has become a thorn in the opponent's side.

The other party might just mark it specifically to find an opportunity to get rid of Pike.

At this moment, Scott felt that all the mirrors in this house were full of danger.

Someone might jump out at any time and kill Pike and his family.

Naturally, this includes Cathy, whom Scott cherishes the most.

Absolutely not!

Scott can't just watch this happen!

"Pike, I probably can't stay for dinner."

Scott stood up suddenly, "I suddenly thought that there is another very important thing to do, and I must leave now."

"That, that's okay too."

Pike couldn't figure out what was going on with Scott.

He was the one who was extremely interested in his scars just now, and now he is the one who is anxious to leave.

"Then do you want to say goodbye to Cathy?"

That's too late.

Scott shook his head and said: "If Cathy wants to hold me and cry non-stop when we say goodbye, let me sneak away. You guys apologize to Cathy for me."

After that, he hurriedly left here, leaving only Parker and Maggie looking at each other.

"Actually, I think Scott has changed a lot recently."

Pike suddenly said, "He also has a stable job. I think there is no problem in letting him see Cathy a few times a month."

……

After Scott left Parker's house, he almost used his fastest speed to find a mirror and got into it.

Came to the reverse world.

He will face a completely unknown opponent next, and he has no fighting experience at all. If he fights alone, he may have no chance of winning.

It's best to find yourself a helper now.

Thomas Wayne Jr. is the best helper.

On Cathy's side, he didn't leave any preparations behind.

The giant ant Anthony was summoned by him and is now hiding in a mirror in Pike's home.

This is protection, protection that calls in both directions.

Scott can summon Anthony, and Anthony can summon Scott.

If something unexpected happens before he rushes back, he will at least have a layer of insurance.

Scott is traveling through the reverse world. It is now dark outside, and the reverse world is also pitch black.

But Scott knew that Thomas must still be in the reverse world.

The reverse world is different from the outside world. You can travel very quickly. Sometimes, if you take one step, you may be several kilometers away.

Scott speculated that it might be because the person who created the reverse world was not as powerful as imagined.

The world he created is not completely comparable to reality, and there are still many deficiencies in the laws of physics.

In the blink of an eye, Scott has arrived at Thomas's reversal workshop.

The lights in the workshop were brightly lit, and little Thomas was still busy.

Without any time to be polite, Scott opened the workshop door directly.

What you see is a pitch-black battle suit with elements of a bat, but you can also see some traces of an owl.

This is Thomas's design.

At this time, Thomas was concentrating on making a pair of wrist guards.

"I should have told you that you can come to my workshop at will, but at least knock on the door."

Little Thomas continued what he was doing without even raising his head.

"Mr. Wayne, I urgently need your help now!"

Scott really didn't have time to say anything else now, so he got straight to the point and told the purpose of his visit.

Little Thomas looked up, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about Scott's anxious look now.

What happened to make him so upset?

The way Scott looks now is as if his daughter is being targeted by a special mutant and is in danger. Scott is afraid that he won't be able to win on his own, so he rushes over to find help.
