Chapter 34: The Transformative Witch
The next day.
In the morning.
Richard woke up slowly in the master bedroom of the house he was selling.
Although it was not yet eight o'clock, he knew it was time for him to leave.
Because after work, the real estate agent responsible for selling the house would bring groups of guests.
After taking out towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel and other toiletries from the system space, he went straight to the bathroom and started washing up.
Half an hour later, after washing up and changing into clean clothes, he flashed out of the house.
He did not leave Los Angeles immediately, but flashed to a nearby neighborhood and found a pretty good chain restaurant.
After putting on a baseball cap and sunglasses and a simple disguise, he walked in calmly and ordered a few common breakfasts from the waiter.
Coffee, fried eggs, bacon, hot dogs, bread...
Richard enjoyed the breakfast in front of him while watching the morning news on the restaurant TV.
As expected, his killing spree in the Los Angeles branch last night made him a headline figure in major news channels and newspapers.
The "experts" invited by the TV station analyzed his actions last night eloquently.
The spokespersons of the Mutant Affairs Department and other official agencies also vowed to arrest him in the shortest possible time.
While watching the news, he took out a disposable mobile phone from the system space and searched his name on the Internet.
As he guessed, there were reports about him everywhere on the Internet.
"65 people died! Illegal mutants attacked the Los Angeles branch of the Mutant Affairs Department!"
"Horrible live broadcast! The Los Angeles branch has become a living hell!"
"Is it revenge or provocation? Illegal mutants are killing people!"
"From a rich second generation to a murderer, what kind of person is Richard Wesley?"
"The vulnerable 'natural enemy of mutants'! The safety promised by the Mutant Affairs Department is gone!"
"The bloody killing of illegal mutants! The birth of the silver-haired devil!"
...
After a brief look at these reports, Richard logged into the local forum in Los Angeles.
As soon as he entered the forum, he saw a large number of posts related to him.
After quickly flipping through a few pages, he unexpectedly discovered that the killing spree in the Los Angeles branch last night actually gave him a group of fanatical fans.
These fanatical fans not only commented and left messages crazily in various posts, but also set up websites and forums about him in just one night.
In addition, they also gave him several different nicknames.
Silver-haired Death God, Los Angeles Sword Master, Silver Samurai, Angel of Death, Seraph, Dominator...
After seeing the nicknames given to him by these fanatical fans and the logos of websites and personal forums designed in their own images, Richard shook his head helplessly.
Although he was not very clear about who these fanatical fans of his were, judging from their unscrupulous comments on the forum and attacks on netizens who accused him of being too cruel, they should all be ordinary people.
Because of the existence of the Mutant Restriction Act, both legal mutants who have been registered and illegal mutants who have not been registered are forced to live a "low-key" life.
Of course, those illegal mutants and organizations such as the Mutant Brotherhood who are afraid of chaos in the world are exceptions.
After browsing the websites and personal forums established by these fanatical fans for a few minutes, he put the disposable phone back into the system space.
If he were a star or an internet celebrity, he would be very happy that he had a group of fanatical fans.
But he is not a star or an internet celebrity.
Today, he is an S-level wanted criminal of the Mutant Affairs Department.
When browsing the news just now, he found that the Mutant Affairs Department headquarters had raised the level of his wanted order, changing him from an A-level wanted criminal to an S-level wanted criminal.
Not only that, he also saw that the Mutant Affairs Department headquarters had given a high reward of 1 million US dollars in the wanted order.
If you capture or kill him alive, you can get 1 million US dollars.
Even if you just give reliable information, you can get a reward ranging from 5,000 to 30,000.
In addition, I don’t know if it is to stimulate him to show up on his own initiative, the Mutant Affairs Department headquarters also publicly issued a statement that the "illegal gains" of the Wesley family will be publicly auctioned in three days.
Including but not limited to the Wesley family’s ancestral home, collections, land under their names, etc.
If it was the original body, he would definitely be angry when he saw that the Mutant Affairs Department was going to auction off the Wesley family's property and collections.
But Richard is not the original body.
Less than an hour after crossing into this world, he disbanded the "Crimson Manor" established by the original body's father and personally set fire to the main building of the manor.
The people in the Mutant Affairs Department wanted to use such an extremely conspicuous provocation to stimulate him to appear. It can only be said that the people in the Mutant Affairs Department thought too much.
In addition to the fact that he is not the original body and has no sense of belonging to the Wesley family, there is another reason why he doesn't care at all.
That is, no matter how the Mutant Affairs Department confiscates and auctions the Wesley family's property, he will make the Mutant Affairs Department and the US government return it with interest in the future.
After breakfast, Richard was about to check out and leave when four strangers, one woman and three men, who had never seen him before, came to him.
"Can I sit here?"
The blonde, blue-eyed, curvy woman who looked to be in her early twenties said to him.
"Whatever, I'm going to pay the bill and leave anyway."
Richard took out a few dozen dollars from his pocket and put them on the table.
"Is it because I don't look like you?"
"Richard Wesley."
The blonde woman said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
After hearing the blonde woman say his name, Richard's first reaction was to summon the authentic knife to kill her.
However, after seeing the blonde woman's pupil color instantly change from green to blue, he temporarily gave up the idea of killing her.
Because he had recognized the identity of this blonde woman.
Mystique!
"Did Magneto ask you to come?"
Richard said to Mystique.
Since he already knew that the blonde beauty in front of him was Mystique, it was not difficult to guess the identities of the other three men.
"Can't it be that I want to see you?"
Mystique asked back.
"If you are going to say this nonsense to me, then I think there is no need for us to continue chatting."
Although Mystique's current image is undoubtedly a beauty, Richard will not have any interest in her when he thinks of her original appearance and age.
From the perspective of superpowers, Mystique is undoubtedly a "variable witch".
Having her is equivalent to having all kinds of beauties.
But as long as he thinks that she is the same age as Professor X, and that she is blue all over and has some body tissues like lizard scales, he will not have any worldly desire for Mystique.
He is not a superficial man who only looks at appearance!
In addition to appearance, he also cares about the "inner" of a woman!
