"What? They stopped?"
"What's going on?"
The four police officers looked bewildered, and the tens of thousands of viewers were equally astonished.
The panicked trio stood frozen.
At that moment, red light glowed from the hand of the man in white.
"Is that..."
"A mutant ability?"
"What kind of power is this? Telekinesis?"
The viewers quickly realized and breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be a mutant ability.
As long as the power was revealed, it was fine. This ability looked like telekinesis, which shouldn't be too frightening.
The fact that this person could stop injection darts didn't mean he could stop metal bullets; the kinetic energy was completely different.
Recently, both police and viewers had seen many strange abilities, and this initial shock wasn't new to them.
But without exception, they all got captured in the end.
The viewers were filled with confidence.
Syd glanced at the transparent darts suspended in mid-air.
In an instant, he knew what they were—an injectable agent that suppressed mutant abilities.
He waved his hand.
The next second, the darts reversed direction and shot towards the police officers with a swoosh.
"Dodge quickly!"
The four officers were alarmed and tried to evade, but the darts seemed to lock onto them, making escape impossible.
With a soft thud, the needles pierced their bodies.
Fortunately, the serum was designed specifically for mutants and had no effect on them.
The officers sighed in relief.
They quickly raised their real firearms and started shooting at Syd.
"Ah!"
Blink and her companions were shocked.
These were real bullets!
Then, to their amazement, the eight or nine bullets also stopped mid-air!
One of the officers, a white man named Donald, saw that bullets were ineffective and quickly threw something from his belt.
A black round object arced through the air.
Boom!
With a violent explosion, flames enveloped Syd.
At that moment, both the officers and the tens of thousands of viewers breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a specially made bomb that could penetrate steel doors, designed to deal with mutants who posed a significant threat to officers.
But to everyone's shock, including Blink's group and others, Syd stood unharmed after the flames dissipated.
A red glow surrounded him, seemingly protecting him from the bomb.
This...
This mutant's ability could resist a bomb?
Before the police and viewers could recover, Syd waved his hand, and the remnants of the bullets shot back at the officers.
Screams filled the air as the four officers fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
Syd walked forward, crouched down, and placed his right hand near the fallen officers.
"What are you doing?"
"No, stop!"
Ignoring their fearful shouts, Syd's hand emitted a red glow that seeped into their heads.
He tried to use his mental abilities to induce their deepest fears.
Quickly, the officers' eyes filled with terror as if they were witnessing their worst nightmares.
Syd pondered.
"Are they trapped in illusions?"
He placed his hand on one officer's forehead, and his mental power delved into the man's mind.
In the dark night, inside a dilapidated old mansion, Syd saw the man being chased by a ghostly woman, his face full of fear.
Afraid of ghosts?
"This guy's deepest fear is ghosts? Interesting..."
Syd found it amusing and checked the other three officers' minds. Two of them had common fears, but the last one startled him.
In the illusion, a familiar black-clad figure floated in the sky, coldly watching everything below like ants.
The next second, a destructive light enveloped everything.
"No, no! Monster! Monster!"
The officer cowered in fear, shouting and trembling.
Syd was taken aback.
"This guy's deepest fear is me?"
He couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Was he really that terrifying?
After a brief exploration of his mental powers, Syd stopped.
However, even though he released them, the viewers watching through drones, and the trio of Blink, looked at him like he was a monster.
Especially when they saw the officers waking up, pale and terrified, screaming in fear. Blink and her companions looked at Syd with even more strange expressions.
"What did he do?"
"Another powerful mutant, after that city-destroying light demon?"
The viewers felt a rising terror and unease towards mutants, mixed with jealousy.
At that moment, footsteps sounded from afar, and five more police officers approached.
Syd frowned, glancing at the four fallen officers.
The next second, a red glow enveloped them, and he flung them towards the approaching officers.
Screams filled the air as the five officers were knocked down.
Before leaving, Syd noticed the movement in the sky, and his right hand gathered red light.
With a casual flick, the drone filming from above exploded and crashed.
Taking one last look at the distant officers, Syd quickly left.
He didn't want to make a big scene before fully regaining his powers. His actions were a necessity, so he decided to test his chaos magic.
Watching him leave, Blink's group exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.
Hearing their footsteps, Syd frowned and glanced at them, his gaze lingering slightly longer on Blink.
He recognized this young girl.
Red hair and green eyes were rare, especially someone resembling a certain actress.
Clearly, this was Blink from the X-Men, the one who could open portals but was ultimately killed by Sentinels in "Days of Future Past."
And this Blink seemed quite young.
"Hey, wait for us," the white youth among the trio called out.
Syd slowed down slightly to hear what they had to say.
The green-eyed Blink looked at him with hope.
"In these dangerous times, we mutants should help each other and unite to resist the coming crisis."
"Your power is impressive. Would you be interested in joining our group?"
Syd shook his head.
Staying in one place, waiting to be found, he doubted they could resist the Sentinel robots when they came.
