Skye's words are slick and get to the heart of the matter. And in the face of her series of questions, these uninvited mutants naturally looked at each other a little.

Some of them still don't believe that Skye could be an agent, but judging by her performance, I'm afraid it's already a thing. Ordinary people may not think about it in this way, but as people who already know her identity, these mutants can link Skye's performance to the profession of agent with just a little association.

It was an agent, and that meant the woman wasn't playing on them. She might have been able to show her the way, but was it really possible for this agent to help them? They really don't have this confidence in their hearts. But when it comes to the end, there is really no way back. So simply, with a horizontal heart, Westen, as the leader, stated to Skye.

"We're mutants, and we're here because someone pointed us out and said they could get help from you?"

"It's ridiculous!" Before Westen could finish speaking, Skye had already interrupted him with a sneer. "Don't you think it's funny that a group of mutants should ask a human for help? Get out of here, right away. Otherwise, I'll have the Wisdom Machine come and throw you out. ”

Skye's words were merciless, she didn't mean to help these mutants at all. She didn't even have the idea to explore the meaning of these mutants. She herself was already troublesome enough, how could she have the leisure to care about other people, especially a group of mutants? It's not like that.

It's just that although she is very rational and wants to stay out of it, these mutants don't give her a chance to stay out of it at all. Because just when she showed her refusal, Westen had already said this directly to her.

"Miss Johnson, we were told you were an agent of the Sky Hammer Bureau and that you were looking for a conspiracy by the Osborne syndicate. What I want to tell you is that we probably know about the Osborne conspiracy, and we can help you with that too. As long as you are willing to do us a favor, I think we should be able to reach a certain consensus of cooperation! ”

was called out of his hidden identity at once, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Skye's face. And after this surprise appeared, her face soon became complicated again. This complicated look represented her equally complicated feelings, and because of this special mood, she no longer clamored to get these guys out of here, as she had just done before.

People can't be ostriches for a lifetime, and in the same way, she can't hide her identity in secret for the rest of her life. She came with a mission, and if the situation of the mission was not very urgent, then maybe she could get by like this. But when the task was imminent, she had to make the final choice.

It's the choice of Harry, the choice of this false self. Or choose the mission, choose the most realistic Skye.

Very difficult choice. But it's not a choice that can't be decided. Skye may have hesitated and hesitated before. But at this time, she seems to have figured out something, and she has figured out something. So soon, she restrained her expression, and then said seriously to the mutants in front of her.

"Who's the guy who told you I'm an agent? How can you be so sure that guy didn't lie to you? ”

"I don't know the lady's name. But I know the identity of the man next to her, and he says his name is Reinhardt. And why are you sure she didn't lie to us? It's all because you're acting too much like an agent. And we can only trust that you are an agent, because there is really no more choice before us. ”

Westen's answer was very helpless, and Skye, who didn't dig into the meaning of his helplessness, just nodded, as if talking to himself.

"I guessed it, and sure enough, it was her. I guess only she would do such a thing. ”

These words made her show a bitter expression, but soon, this bitterness was already swept away by her. She already knew what she had to do now. So immediately, he changed back to that indifferent face, and said this to the mutants in front of him.

"You say you know about the conspiracy against Osborne? So what exactly is this conspiracy? ”

"Osben kidnapped our loved ones." As if seeing the light of day in Skye's answer, Westen and the others immediately gritted their teeth and complained to her. "He must be planning to do some evil experiments with our mutant bodies. It's like what governments and big companies have done in the past. This damn bastard, he must have some ulterior ambitions and conspiracy! ”

Their violent words brought out the anger in their hearts, but beyond that, their explanations were of no obvious help to Skye. Aside from knowing that Osborne had kidnapped some mutants, she didn't get any useful information at all. This made her start to have some doubts about what these mutants said could help her. So after thinking about it, she asked.

"Now that you know they've been kidnapped by Osben's people, why don't you go to your Radiant City SWAT to deal with this matter. There are mutants and Radiant City to support you, and as long as you can produce evidence, even Osben will not be able to make any moves to resist. ”

"We don't have any evidence. If there were, we wouldn't be asking for your help in this place. Miss Johnson, I know you'd be eager to get evidence of Osborne's crimes. And all we want is to get our loved ones back. So we can join forces, as long as we find the secret base from which Osborne is hiding them. Our ends are all achievable, aren't they? ”

Westen, who was reluctant to continue to communicate with Skye in any more verbal terms, directly laid out the carriage and horses. As for his statement, Skye just thought about it and nodded.

"You're right. I'm in need of evidence of the Osborne syndicate's crimes. But what I need to make sure is that you have what it takes to help me. Judging by your situation, you are just the most ordinary mutants, and you are not even the most ordinary agents without any special training. In this case, what qualifications do you have to work with me? ”

Skye did this from the most objective point of view, and almost all mutants began to be angry at her analysis.

In the last two days, they have experienced too much ridicule. First the havoc under the pseudonym Reinhardt, and then the agent Skye in front of him. If they were taunted by the Havoc because the power gap between them was too great for them to refute it, then Skye's taunt was something they couldn't accept at all.

In the eyes of these mutants, Skye is not qualified to mock himself at all. Because she's just an ordinary person, and they're mutants. Compared to ordinary people, they are definitely superior beings who are born with extraordinary abilities. This so-called superiority is not in some false status, but in the truest biological level. So if you look at it from a more extreme perspective, it is simply unforgivable that a low-level creature dares to look down on a high-level creature.

As a member of the higher creatures, Westen was also very dissatisfied with Skye's questioning. But he knew what she meant, and he knew that this was not the time for a battle of wills. So he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then said to Skye word by word.

"Miss Johnson. We are mutants, and we are born with extraordinary abilities. Trust me, with us for you, you can save a lot of trouble. Because we can use our ability to help you settle these troubles! ”

"Really? Why, then, don't you go and rescue your own relatives yourself, but instead seek my help? ”

These mutants were speechless when asked in a word. Naturally, they refused to admit that they had come to Osborne for help because they were afraid of her strength. So they just argued with a hard mouth.

"That's because we don't know where to look for our loved ones. Osborne shielded us from each other, so that our abilities couldn't reach his labs. We just don't want to startle you, that's why we're here to ask for your help. It's definitely not the ones you might think. ”

"Really?" Sighing, Skye didn't continue arguing with the mutants. She has already seen the nature of these guys, just a group of flowers who have not experienced any setbacks and tribulations.

Although she is of the same age, she has already experienced the drastic changes of S.H.I.E.L.D. and various hunting and killing lives, and in terms of psychology and ability, she is undoubtedly much stronger than these mutants. This disparity made it clear to her the fact that these mutants were not reliable. Still, she decided to work with them, as she didn't deny that mutant abilities can sometimes work unexpectedly. It's just that she has to make sure of something first.

"I think we can work together, but there's one thing you have to promise me. That is, you must follow my orders in cooperation. I can promise that I will not betray you, and I will not treat you like outcasts. But you must also assure me that you will not act on your own initiative and will not disobey orders. Is this condition okay? If we could, I think we could keep talking! ”

Demanding requirements, but there are no more options for mutants. Knowing that every second of delay would put their relatives in more danger, they just glanced at each other, and they had already made up their minds.

"Yes. As long as you can do everything you promise, we can grant this request. ”

"Good. So the next step, we need a plan. And before I can do that, I need to know what you're capable of! ”
