Chapter 121

Perhaps it was a sequelae of dealing with too much official documents, but when the warm and sincere subordinate started to report, Canary thought he was calling her.

He turned around quickly and was about to ask what happened when the young man's slightly cold voice came from behind.

The canary quickly shut up, luckily avoiding any rash reaction.

Prophecy? Wen Xin asked again: "Prophecy about what?"

The subordinate hurried over to report, but he didn't expect that there were other people in Wen Xin's house, so he made a hidden gesture to Wen Xin.

That gesture had only one clear meaning. Wen Xin frowned slightly, rubbed the two balls in his hands, put them on the ground, and walked past the canary.

The breeze blew through Wen Xin's hair, and the profile of her face was covered with interlaced light and shadow, making her look more profound and cold than usual.

This look was so different from the young man with raised lips and a slight smile in the past that Canary couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Humans have come across mutants many times before, and with their colorful appearance, the identities of these dumplings are obvious.

The subordinates did not relax at all because of their cute appearance. They looked at the few dumplings in the courtyard and saw fear, vigilance, and subtle hostility in their faces.

Until Wen Xin stood in front of him, frowned, and looked at him expressionlessly.

The subordinate was startled and hastily averted his gaze.

Wen Xin turned around and smiled apologetically at the dumplings: "I have to take care of something here first, it shouldn't take long, you guys just be good at home, I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back."

The little fox was still discussing with the scaled tree viper how to confess. Seeing this, he looked at him eagerly and said, "Then you should come back soon."

"Okay, I'll come back as soon as possible." Wen Xin pointed at the scale viper with his fingertips and warned, "Listen carefully, get along harmoniously and don't fight."

The members thought this was a slander. They were so friendly, how could they possibly fight?

But when the young man and his subordinates left, the relaxed atmosphere in the courtyard changed immediately. The dead leaves on the treetops trembled and fell down, and the temperature seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant.

Canary was the first to speak, as if a thorn had pierced her heart: "Why did Wen Xin become like this?"

He stared at the scale viper as he spoke, and his tone was not very nice, almost like a question.

Scales Viper was confused about how to confess later, so he replied without thinking: "What?"

Canary's expression gradually turned cold: "Didn't you notice the changes in Wen Xin? Not only has he become thinner, but his face has also become so pale. How on earth are you taking care of him!"

This is indeed a pain point for the scale viper.

It can stop the enemies who want to hurt Wen Xin, but it can't stop Wen Xin from working day and night for official documents. Even No. 1 keeps compromising under Wen Xin's insistence, so how can it persuade him?

But this did not mean that the Scaled Viper could tolerate Canary's questioning. Its S-level aura rose up on the spot, like a surging wave, and hit the young man standing there fiercely.

"I didn't take good care of Wen Xin, but what did you do for him? Why didn't you rush over the day when No. 1 lost control? I don't believe you didn't feel it!"

Canary was stunned by the aura, and the instinct of fighting against the same level in his genes made him release the aura subconsciously. He could not bear it anymore and retorted: "I rushed over, but the aura of No. 1 was too strong. I was knocked unconscious before I got halfway. I woke up two days later!"

The scale viper sneered, "You're a piece of shit."

Canary had been a waste in the base for half his life, but later he turned things around in Rose City. No one dared to question his weakness anymore, and he never took those slanders seriously again.

But at this moment, the sneer from the scale viper seemed to be a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, making the canary's bloodthirsty desire gradually increase.

Bang!

The courtyard door was suddenly opened from the inside, revealing the expressionless furry face of the purple squirrel. One of its paws was still dripping with water, and the other paw was holding a shiny kitchen knife.

"You want to fight?"

The purple squirrel's words failed to persuade the two to stop fighting, but instead became a catalyst that exacerbated the conflict.

The three fierce S-level auras refused to give in to each other, colliding in the air and creating fierce sparks. The huge courtyard suddenly turned into a battlefield.

The canary kneaded its finger bones, the scale viper bared its fangs, and the purple squirrel gripped its kitchen knife.

The battle is about to begin.

Only the A-level pandas were affected. Their blood surged and they kept making weak and mournful cries. Driven by fear, they quickly jumped to the wall and hid.

It didn't understand why everyone was fine the last second, but suddenly turned hostile, and looked at the blue group and the pink group for help.

But then the little panda saw that the blue ball had already turned back into a blue walrus.

The water was surging without any wind, making the bucket slap against the water, just like the unstable mood of the little walrus.

Looking at the pink girl again, she was admonishing “Don’t do this” while her pupils shrank, her muscles tensed, and she let out an unconscious roar.

The air was so tight that it seemed frozen.

roar--

At the critical moment, a deep and rich dragon roar came from the direction of the Municipal Building.

Irresistible pressure descended upon this small courtyard, catching several "fighting chickens" off guard and causing them to stumble and fall.

"My head!" "Ouch!" "It hurts!"

The canary climbed up with its teeth bared. It didn't feel its face hit the ground, but instead a hole was made in the ground.

Seeing the hole, Jin Si Que's mind was full of how to explain to Wen Xin later. Suddenly, she woke up and said, "Wait a minute, what was I doing just now?"

The Tyrannosaurus struck indiscriminately, and the scales of the Scaled Viper trembled all over its body.

It used the tip of its tail as a hand, rubbing its buzzing head, and scolded him angrily: "If I ask you, it's like taking gunpowder all of a sudden."

The purple squirrel staggered to its feet.

Once interrupted, the irritable mood disappeared from its heart like the wind.

Soon the little squirrel calmed down and pointed out the reason for the intensification of the conflict: "There are too many S-level here."

All S-class mutants are kings, and the domineering genes engraved in their bones have destined them to not be able to get along with each other in a friendly manner.

The mutual repulsion of aura is not just one-on-one, but a large-scale chain reaction. As long as they clash, it will be like a raging fire, and all the dumplings will lose their minds in an instant and fight each other fiercely.

If there wasn't an absolutely powerful No. 1 who stood guard here against all the other heroes, with their destructive power, the city would have to be rebuilt in a matter of minutes.

The dumplings then realized how serious the consequences they had almost caused were, and they all shuddered at the same time.

As the instigator of the conflict, Canary pursed her lips and bowed her head to admit her mistake.

The scaled viper was in an even worse mood. Under normal circumstances, it would have definitely dragged the canary into a fight, but now it was too lazy to even bother with him.

The little fox shook his head, moved closer, and gently touched the boy's tense cheek with his nose: "Jiujiu, what happened to you just now? I felt that you seemed very unhappy and scared."

The canary was silent. After much persuasion from the little fox, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Wen Xin has changed. A lot."

The Scaled Tree Viper thought he was being puzzling: "Wen Xin has been growing, so isn't it normal for him to change so much?"

"That's not the case. When you came to Rose City, Wen Xin also changed a lot, but never like now. I feel like he... he seems to have given up something very important."

The canary looked at the scale viper, opened its mouth, and closed it again, repeating the same thing mechanically many times. Finally, it spoke its true feelings in despair: "I just feel disgusted that I couldn't help."

Hearing that he was not looking for trouble, the scale viper's expression softened a lot.

"You can't say that." The little fox interrupted the canary's self-destruction and emphasized seriously, "I can feel that Wen Xin is not unhappy when he does those things."

Lan Tuan nodded: "With us here, if Wen Xin is unhappy, no one can force him, and he doesn't have to endure it."

Canary's face was still gloomy.

He had been worried when Wen Xin first wanted to establish a survivor base.

An entire city can include tens of thousands of people of all kinds, and everyone has his or her own selfish thoughts. No matter how good a ruler is, it is impossible to completely obey the people.

There will always be one or two restless guys who will jump out and sing a different tune, and this will inevitably involve some bloody and cruel executions.

Things will change - in such an atmosphere, no one can remain immune.

What follows is the shaking of will, the collapse of faith, and even a complete breakdown.

At first the little fox thought the canary was worrying for nothing, but as he sensed the canary's uneasiness, he gradually became frightened too.

As the Pope of Idealism, the emotions of all his followers are like a safe without a password in front of him. Everything hidden in the safe can be seen at a glance.

So the little fox can especially empathize with the canary's worries.

The little fox was silent for a moment, then spoke up: "That person just now seemed to hate mutants."

There are many people in this world who hate mutants, and mutants hate humans just as much.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a harmless episode.

The canary still felt uneasy. He turned to the scaled tree viper and the purple squirrel and made the same gesture as Wen Xin's subordinates: "Do you know what this gesture means?"

Each combat team has its own gestures and codes to deal with situations where no one can speak.

Purple Squirrel and Scaled Tree Viper had been following Wen Xin all along, and of course they had learned a lot from him. However, one of them was helping to prepare food in the kitchen at the time, so his view was blocked and he didn't see it.

Seeing the canary making the gesture, the purple squirrel immediately recognized it: "This gesture represents a mutant."

So the prophecy that your subordinates reported is related to mutants?

Combined with that person's inexplicable strong hostility, several dumplings vaguely realized that the situation seemed a little wrong, or it was very unfavorable to them!

The little fox was a little angry: "Are those people going to tell Wen Xin about our bad things?"

The little walrus has always been a peaceful person. He just lies down when he sleeps. Now he can't help but think about whether he has done anything bad recently.

Just when he was about to confess, this happened. The scale viper couldn't keep calm at all.

It jumped up in a hurry, hung on the canary's arm, and urged the boy to take off: "Don't just stand there like an idiot, fly over and see what's going on."

The canary was a little surprised at the little green snake's panic.

"Didn't you see? Number One was exposed, and so was I. Wen Xin may have guessed some of the truth, but I'm not sure how much he guessed!"

The more the scale viper thought about it, the more panicked he became. Confessing something and having your lie exposed are two completely different things.

The canary was startled by the little green snake's roar, and two bulges reflexively appeared in the center of its spine. Its sharp feathers pierced through its clothes and turned into a pair of strong and powerful wings.

Just as he was about to move, his right foot suddenly sank, and it was the blue ball that pulled him up.

The next time he moved, his left foot was also blocked. The little fox hugged the canary's calf tightly and urged him to move like the scaled tree viper: "Jiujiu, take me with you, fly quickly."

Canary: “…”

Before he could open his mouth, the clothes with two holes in them were tightened.

The little panda was still in a daze when the little squirrel suddenly grabbed its neck and threw it towards the canary. It was unsteady and panicked, so it subconsciously stretched out its claws to cling to the squirrel.

But it apparently ignored the sharpness of its claws.

Sizzle——

The canary felt a chill down her spine.

The cold wind blew into the wide gaps, and the whole place fell into silence for a moment.

The little panda was trembling and almost crying: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"

The little squirrel coughed twice and said, "I'll try to throw it more accurately next time."

As it spoke, it jumped onto the canary's other shoulder.

"..." He could almost imagine his clothes being torn into a backless dress, and veins were throbbing on the boy's forehead. "Can't you just run over there by yourselves?!"

Scaled Viper: "How am I supposed to run in this state? Besides, there's no way to run fast. Don't complain. Who told you to go crazy just now? You should give us a ride."

Canary: "Then there is the mutual exclusion between S-classes—"

The quiet blue dumpling suddenly said, "Is mutual exclusion as scary as Wen Xin getting angry?"

Canary choked for a moment, and the other members fell silent.

As an outsider, the little panda finally figured out what was going on and asked cautiously, "Did you guys lie to Wen Xin about something?"

“…”

"It's okay, don't be afraid." The little panda tried to comfort them, "Wen Xin is easy to talk to. He said that getting angry won't solve anything, so he rarely loses his temper."

The dumplings felt relieved.

Little Panda: "But it seems that he also said later that certain issues of principle cannot be tolerated."

The scale viper blocked its mouth with its tail: "Shut up!"

"..." The little squirrel said calmly, "It's okay, it's okay. Children can speak without restraint."

Little Fox: "Besides, this is not a matter of principle!"

The blue walrus was worried about different things from them, after all, it had never concealed its identity from Wen Xin.

Just mentioning the prophecy and thinking of the hatred that Master Blue Whale has for humans, it couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

If we delay any further, I'm afraid they will have finished saying bad things before they get there.

The canary had no choice but to carry these birds, big and small, and fly to the City Hall without complaint.

The pitch-black beast opened its eyelids and glanced at them calmly: "Why are you here instead of staying at home?"

Number One is not as easy to talk to as Wen Xin.

Thinking of the fight that almost broke out, the little guys held their breath. Scales Viper was the first to speak up: "We want to know if the content of the prophecy has anything to do with us."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Tyrannosaurus' eyes: "Prophecies are never accurate."

The First Foundation had predicted that it was doomed to get out of control and cause immeasurable damage to the world, but Wen Xin saved it first.

Scaled Viper: "But No. 1, Wen Xin might figure out our identities through this incident. Aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"We kept it a secret from him. Have you forgotten that we approached Wen Xin in the form of cats?"

Tyrannosaurus: “…”

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the kids always feel that the look in Tyrannosaurus’ eyes is mixed with a bit of confusion, as if he is looking at a fool.

But the Tyrannosaurus remained reserved. It just sighed helplessly and let them go.

The dumplings rushed in one after another. As long as they didn't expose themselves, no guards could discover their whereabouts.

And just like that, they found the location of the conference room.

The walls of the conference room are made of soundproof material. Normally, the sound inside cannot be heard from the outside, but the hearing of S-class mutants has long been out of the normal range.

As soon as I got close, a loud voice came out angrily: "They are deceiving you. Those mutants approached you with bad intentions!"

In an instant, all the dumplings' nerves were tense to the extreme.

"On what basis?"

"Because I saw it! They deceived you with a harmless appearance, deceived your mercy and sympathy, and then pointed the spearhead at the First Foundation, instigating you and all mankind to become enemies!"

The little fox couldn't help but want to refute: "How could we ..."

"Hush," said the canary. "Hush."

He scowled and continued to listen, his fingertips gripping the door edge turning white from the force.

In the past, Canary would not care about such slander at all, but Wen Xin has now become the ruler, the ruler of human forces, and his stance will be more inclined towards humans.

If their hidden identities were revealed, they would be speechless.

It was obvious that the discussion in the conference room had been going on for quite a while. It was noisy and there was more than one person talking.

Then Wen Xin spoke, and his words calmed everyone down: "According to your analysis, it is indeed possible that I chose to go against the First Foundation out of compassion and under the deliberate guidance of illusion."

Illusion is the little fox's skill. Upon hearing this, its face turned pale.

The other dumplings felt a suffocating despair.

Who knew that a small lie told earlier would be accused of a more serious conspiracy?

That's not the point.

The key point is how Wen Xin will view this matter. Will he really think that they have bad intentions?

The guilty dumplings didn't even dare to imagine Wen Xin's expression.

There was a burst of responses in the conference room, and many people began to use previous incidents of mutants attacking humans to denounce their cunning and viciousness.

The scale viper was shocked and angry. It couldn't help but rush in to explain. However, it seemed to be frozen in time and timidly stopped in front of the door.

But Wen Xin interrupted those people in a calm voice: "But there is one thing in this prophecy that is not true."

"What?"

"You said they deceived me for a long time, and it was not until I died with the First Foundation that I saw their true colors. This is not true."

The loud man understood the deep meaning of the young man's words and seemed very surprised: "You mean..."

"Yes, I know." Wen Xin said, "I know they are experimental subjects who escaped from the First Base, I know the cats are disguised, and I also know that my encounter with them is not accidental."

Wen Xin paused for a moment, his brows relaxed, and his tone was as gentle as ever: "I knew it when I first saw them."
