Chapter 449 False Intelligence
In the comics, "Forget-Me-Not" Omega is only a second or third-tier mutant, a rather obscure one.
He could be seen with the eyes, but not with the mind; Connors had never seen this in anyone else before.
Just like in Gwen's world, when he was chasing the lizardman in the sewers, he used "telepathy" himself.
To shield oneself like that.
However, Connors remembered this guy the moment he saw him.
There's no way around it, this guy is just too famous to be true. Whenever there's a list of the most unfortunate and miserable mutants, he's bound to be on it.
"Let me think—in the comics, what methods do mutants use to remind themselves not to forget him?"
Connors's mind raced, only to find that he had absolutely no idea about this.
He only knew of the existence of this god of misfortune, but he had never read anything about him.
This didn't stump Connors. Since telepathy couldn't directly affect "Forget-Me-Not" Omega, he simply used his "Dream Relic" ability to create an "Omega" out of thin air in his subconscious.
The two look alike, except that the Omega in Connors' mind is Connors' own memory and is not affected by this guy's abilities.
This created "Omega" exists in a false dream he specifically crafted for it, and to be on the safe side, Connors also used Zatanna's sealing magic to protect it securely.
Do you have parents?
John Thunderbird was now conducting another round of interviews with Omega.
Connors turned his gaze to the side, then his thoughts drifted into that false dream, where he indeed saw an Omega that he had created repeating himself in different ways.
"Now I won't forget him." Connors nodded in satisfaction.
"Thunderbird." Connors had just finished preparing for the Omega when someone else entered the room. "Max is in danger!"
The speaker was a dark-skinned young man with thick lips, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, and had curly hair that clung to his scalp.
When Connors and Thunderbird John looked at him, a strange thing happened.
It was already dark outside, and the boy's skin was as black as coal.
When he entered the room lit with orange-yellow light, his skin also turned an orange-yellow that almost blended perfectly into the light.
Not only his skin, but also his hair and pupils changed.
"What happened?" John Thunderbird jumped up. "Darwin, get to the point."
The young man who broke into the room, whose skin changes color to adapt to the environment, is called "Darwin." He is a mutant who can evolve his body to adapt to the environment.
"who is he?"
Darwin paused upon seeing Omega and Connors, hesitating whether to continue.
He didn't know either of them.
John the Thunderbird pointed at Connors: "This is our newly recruited companion. He can turn into diamonds and also has telepathic abilities."
After saying that, he looked at Omega, his expression suddenly changing, and asked warily, "Who are you? How did you get in here?"
Connors couldn't stand it anymore. In just a short while, Thunderbird John had forgotten Omega four or five times in a row. He even doubted that Thunderbird John could keep doing this indefinitely.
So he reached out and pulled John Thunderbird back into his chair, letting him continue to waste time with Omega, while he walked toward Darwin's seat: "I have telepathy, I should be able to help, I'll go."
"No, you two are both newbies—" Thunderbird John frowned, "Wait a moment, I'll contact Yi Fu" to join you."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the phone, quickly gave a few instructions, and a few minutes later, "Skin Change" Peggy arrived.
"Darwin, briefly explain the situation," John Thunderbird said, while preparing to push the Omega, which he had forgotten about, out the door.
Omega looked numb, as if he had long been used to being repeatedly forgotten.
As he passed by Connors, Connors suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "My telepathy is rather special; I won't forget you."
Although Omega is a famously tragic mutant in the comics, he is also a hero who always performs acts of chivalry in obscurity and has never even turned to the dark side.
Connors didn't want to see such a great young man continue to suffer like this.
Omega's previously dull and lifeless eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Connors, having overheard the conversation between Thunderbird John and Connors, and knew that Connors was a man with telepathic abilities.
But he quickly shook his head. He had encountered other telepathic mutants before, but unfortunately, the "Forget-Me-Not" ability was too powerful, and even telepathy could not work on him.
He simply smiled at Connors's kindness, then pushed open the door and left, leaving the room to Peggy "Skin Change", Darwin, and John Thunderbird.
"Not only is Max in danger during the solar eclipse, but our superstar 'Xuan Yin' may also encounter misfortune."
After Omega left, Darwin spoke with a solemn expression.
Seeing that things seemed serious, John Thunderbird also looked grave: "What do you mean?"
Darwin's mouth moved, his face began to round slightly, and the position of his vocal cords shifted, clearly preparing for what he was about to say: "Xuanyin may have been deceived. The information she received was that there were two mutants who suddenly awakened at the school, and they currently live twelve blocks away from here."
"This message was most likely deliberately leaked by the Sentinels," Max thought, as he encountered a Sentinel SWAT team ambush on his way there.
"Since I've only been with you for a few days, Max told me to follow at a distance—"
Darwin's "evolved" vocal cords and mouth allowed him to speak at lightning speed, clearly recounting the events in just a few seconds.
John the Thunderbird had no doubt about Darwin's words, but Peggy, who had entered without saying a word, gently stroked her skin with her left hand over her right, peeling it off like a glove.
Peggy's right hand, stripped of a layer of skin, gleamed with a metallic light and swiftly transformed into a blade, resting against Darwin's neck. A fierce glint flashed across her face: "Can you assure me that everything you're saying is true?"
Darwin was startled; his neck seemed to transform into steel in an instant, and he raised his hands: "Of course! Although I've only been with you for a few days, please trust me!"
"Peggy, let go of him," Thunderbird John advised. "Try not to use this method again, because we've finally found a partner with telepathic abilities."
He reached out and gestured toward Connors.
