Chapter 277

(..) "I am the messenger of the devil. I bring misfortune to the world."

The cold voice came and went in the empty church.

"It seems the owner here doesn't welcome us, Simila." Ye Nan raised his hand, looked at the watch on his wrist, and smiled lightly.

Since obtaining Simila's forgiveness, the relationship between Ye Nan and Simila had returned to good. Afterward, Ye Nan, with the help of Simila's power, found this abandoned church.

"If I remember correctly, you should be here, Nightcrawler Wagner." Ye Nan looked at the surrounding environment, knowing that this place was exactly the same as the environment in the movie. Plus the warning-like voice of Wagner, he was even more certain that Wagner was here.

"I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to talk to you." Ye Nan once again offered his magic weapon: "Let's talk." As long as there is a chance, he can use his glib tongue to persuade the Nightcrawler.

For Ye Nan, foresight is his winning magic weapon. Only because of understanding can he persuade. If he didn't even know a person's personality and preferences, persuasion would be out of the question.

"I understand your pain. Wanting to disguise yourself but unable to disguise, only able to be alone. You are the same as the green person. You are even more painful than other mutants."

"Leave here. I am the messenger of Satan. I am the servant of the devil. I will hurt you. Get out of here." Nightcrawler's voice came again, and this time the voice was clearly sharper than last time.

"It seems that if I don't find you, you won't talk to me properly." Ye Nan smiled lightly. His figure flashed, and his whole person turned into a red meteor, crashing into the pillar at the top of the church.

"Oh, no." Nightcrawler exclaimed, and in an instant, he turned into a mass of ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Bang!

The meteor crashed into the pillar, and the church's pillar, together with the ceiling, was crashed into a big hole.

"It seems you finally know how to speak human language. Only then can I communicate with you."

Ye Nan jumped down from the sky, looked at the Nightcrawler on the ground, and said: "Tell me, did you assassinate the President?"

"They told me to do it." Nightcrawler looked at Ye Nan, trembling.

"They? Who are they." Ye Nan asked again.

From the movie, it seems that Nightcrawler acted on his own initiative to attack the President, but from now on, there seems to be a hidden story.

"General Stryker." Nightcrawler replied. "Please don't hurt me."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Not only will I not hurt you, but I will also take you to a place. There are friends like you there."

Ye Nan said, and remembered the green person. In fact, whether it was the green person or the Nightcrawler, they were the same. They were more tragic than ordinary mutants.

Ordinary mutants only need to hide themselves well to avoid being discovered. They can avoid the hostility from the public because the public simply cannot distinguish between mutants and them.

But the green person and the Nightcrawler are different. Their bodies had already changed when they mutated. The color of their bodies is a bright light for them, which simply cannot be concealed. They have to stay away from the crowd, away from the public who hurt them, because they are aliens.

And in such a situation, if their temperament is slightly worse, they will become mutants who hate humans like Mystique.

"Friends like me? Is it that green guy?" Nightcrawler asked suspiciously.

He remembered seeing that green person and thought that green person was the same as him, so he wanted to approach the green person. But, he was wrong. He was indeed as everyone said, a Satan, a messenger of the devil, bringing disaster to the world....

"No, I can't be with him, otherwise I will bring disaster to him." Nightcrawler refused, but there was an irrepressible longing in his language.

"Do you really think you will bring disaster?" Ye Nan looked at Nightcrawler amusedly. "Look at the cross in your hand and the Jesus crucifixion statue next to you."

Nightcrawler looked over as told, but no matter how he looked, he didn't see what the Jesus crucifixion statue had to do with him.

"The Bible says that suffering is the tempering given by the Lord to humanity. In fact, you are not the messenger of the devil, you are the messenger of the Lord. People should love you, like you, instead of hating you, rejecting you." Ye Nan said with a smile.

"Then why do they hate me, reject me?" Nightcrawler asked again.

In fact, in his own heart, he didn't think he was the messenger of the devil. The reason he called himself the messenger of the devil was more to mock himself.

"Because they don't understand. When Jesus descended, he was also not understood by all living things." Ye Nan pointed to Jesus and said.

From the current history, the so-called Jesus is very likely a mutant. If he didn't guess wrong, the angels and devils in myths and legends should be two special mutants, one extremely beautiful, one ugly.

But Ye Nan dared not be sure, because as far as the current situation is concerned, this world is intertwined by many movies. If explained purely by the background in *X-Men*, it is very likely to cause a series of errors.

"So you need to do some things to prove yourself." Ye Nan said again. "And before doing things, you need a place, a place that doesn't reject you, a place that needs many friends to chat with you, so you won't be lonely."

"And I have that place. I don't know if you are willing to come and live?"

Ye Nan invited Nightcrawler.

Nightcrawler's ability is teleportation, and he can take people with him, and can also pass through walls. It is simply an excellent escape ability. Ye Nan firmly believes that as long as he can train well, he will inevitably play a very important role in the future end-of-the-world escape.

"It seems I still have to find Professor X. In the matter of training mutants, he is the expert. But it's a pity, if Nightcrawler had half the power of Azazel, he wouldn't need training." Ye Nan secretly felt it was a pity.

Although he and Professor X reached a certain tacit understanding, they were definitely not on the same path, and the angles they stood on were different. The two sides were destined not to be able to walk together.

"What kind of place is that place." Nightcrawler asked, his fingers constantly rubbing the cross, appearing very nervous.

Not rejecting him, not using disgusted eyes—this feeling was like the feeling he had when he worked at the Munich Circus.

He originally disguised himself and entered the Munich Circus. Because of his special ability, he became the incredible Nightcrawler. Unfortunately, when his mutant identity was exposed, he had to flee the Munich Circus.

"Hospital." Ye Nan hesitated slightly.

There are many places that meet Nightcrawler's conditions. His major bases, and even his home, could be used as Nightcrawler's new home. But Nightcrawler had not known him for a long time, and bringing him home rashly had a certain risk, so he finally said the hospital.

The staff in the hospital had already seen many experimental products. For special mutants, they were also used to it. Plus, Nightcrawler and the green person were on the same path, so they could completely be companions.

"Okay, I'll go." Nightcrawler agreed immediately.

He had long had enough of this place. Although he believed in God, he didn't want to live in this dilapidated church forever. Whenever someone came to pray, he had to avoid it, avoid everyone....

As for whether Ye Nan was abducting him, he didn't have any thoughts, because the teleportation that Ye Nan showed just now, which was not inferior to his, made him understand that if the other party really wanted to hurt him, he would have no way to escape.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Ye Nan's ability was not teleportation, but extreme speed. Because extreme speed is not slower than teleportation in short-distance movement, it was mistaken by him for teleportation.

"Wait, you tell me first, why did General Stryker let you assassinate the President." Ye Nan saw that he had succeeded in the first step, so he no longer half-covered, but stated the purpose of his coming.

He was not Jean Grey. His psychic power was very weak. He didn't know how to use the ability like Jean Grey, who could enter other people's minds. After all, Jean Grey had a good teacher, but he didn't.

"I don't know either. I only know that General Stryker controlled me at the time, used an illusion to control me, and I don't remember the rest." Nightcrawler shook his head, indicating that he didn't remember anything.

"General Stryker." Ye Nan chewed on this name and thought carefully.

From the movie, Stryker is completely the mastermind behind *X-Men 2*. He extremely hates mutants and masters many means. He also controlled many mutants through the liquid secreted from his son's brain. Not only that, at the end of the story, he attempted to use Professor X's Cerebro to annihilate all mutants on the entire Earth.

"If he succeeds, wouldn't I fall into a predicament?" Ye Nan had a headache.

In fact, without mutant subordinates and without becoming a mutant himself, he was disgusted by General Stryker's actions, but he wouldn't have the idea of wanting to stop him. One reason is that it doesn't concern himself, and the other reason is his attitude toward mutants.

He had always believed that mutants were the source of social unrest. Their immature control abilities made them intentionally or unintentionally hurt people around them when they awakened. So although he was dissatisfied with General Stryker's extreme approach, he wouldn't go to stop him.

But now it's different. He has Logan and his son, and Storm Ororo under his command. He must be responsible for their safety, and he himself has also been turned into a mutant by Magneto. Although his strength has greatly increased, he is also in the ranks of General Stryker's annihilation.

"General Stryker, it seems we are destined to be enemies. And Professor X, I will let you suffer some bitterness. Don't be grateful to me by then."

A perfect arc crossed the corner of Ye Nan's mouth. He said gently to Nightcrawler: "Follow me, I will take you to heaven."
