American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 261 You need to purify your dirty mind!

In response to Scott's greeting, Jean Grey just nodded coldly.

After entering the restaurant, I greeted everyone as usual.

"Hi, morning everyone!"

After saying hello, Jean Grey did not sit next to her boyfriend Scott as usual.

Instead, he sat down at the dining table, a seat away, and ate his breakfast with his head down, looking thoughtful.

Scott also noticed that his girlfriend Jean was worried, so while spreading jam on his sandwich, he casually asked, "Jin, are you still worried about losing your abilities?"

Ever since Jean Grey lost her abilities, she has often had a gloomy face and her smile has completely disappeared.

That's why Scott asked this question.

Normally, when Jean Grey heard her boyfriend's concern, she would just feel warm in her heart, but now she felt very guilty.

Jean Grey pretended to be calm, picked up the fork and put a piece of bacon on the plate in front of her.

While putting it into your mouth.

She replied vaguely: "Thank you, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Hearing this, Scott glanced at Qin's face. Her complexion was rosy and shiny, and she didn't look like she hadn't slept well.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind: this must be a hint from his girlfriend.

Ever since he and Qin became a couple, they have rarely had close communication in the past two years.

The main reason is that Qin's abilities are unstable and she is prone to outbursts when she gets emotional.

Scott also didn't want to be killed by Jean's accidental outburst of the Phoenix Force.

Therefore, their relationship is mainly based on spiritual communication.

Now when he heard Qin suddenly say that she didn't sleep well last night, Scott thought it was his girlfriend hinting that they could sleep together tonight.

This kind of opportunity is very rare, and usually Scott would beg Jean to have in-depth communication with him.

Today, his girlfriend actually gave him a hint for the first time, and he would never let go of this opportunity.

So Scott turned his head, looked in the direction of Qin, and said soothingly: "If you can't sleep, can I give you a massage tonight?"

Hank, the beast standing between the two of them, was eating dog food silently, and felt that the breakfast in front of him was not delicious anymore.

This guy, whose old age is unknown, is covered with blue hair and has a burly figure like a silverback gorilla, but he wears a pair of glasses, just like boxing champion Tyson who insisted on dressing up as a pedant. There is a strange contrast in his cuteness.

When Jean Grey heard her boyfriend Scott's concern, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, maybe I'm too stressed out these days. I just need to adjust my mindset."

Scott looked slightly disappointed and changed the subject.

"Have you seen Pietro? He seems to be rarely in school recently."

Professor X, who was sitting at the dining table, had just finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

When he heard this topic, his face froze.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Pietro in a few days. Could he have gone out to play?"

Pietro joined the X-Men during Days of Future Past ten years ago and usually lives in Xavier's School for Gifted People.

Shockwave Alex, who had a good relationship with him, slapped his head and said regretfully:
"I almost forgot. Pietro came to me a few days ago and told me that he had found out the whereabouts of his biological parents."

"So he has to leave school temporarily, and asked me to help tell everyone."

"It's just that the appearance of Apocalypse caused the situation to be very tense, so I forgot to tell everyone about it."

After hearing Alex's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

But Charles still gave a reminder.

"Everyone, pay attention to the latest news. If Pietro gets into trouble, we'll have to help clean up the mess."

Charles said this for a reason.

Ever since Pietro joined the X-Men ten years ago, his speed force has made his metabolism very fast due to his abilities.

Therefore, Pietro was not a peaceful person by nature. He often picked up girls and fought in school, causing countless troubles.

This situation continued until Charles discovered that he was molesting Raven and gave him a severe lesson.

Coupled with his age, Pietro has restrained himself in recent years.

However, Pietro behaved well in school, but he started hanging out in bars and discos.

Moreover, once he drinks, he is likely to come into conflict with gangsters in the bar.

Every time he gets into trouble, Charles has to clean up his mess, so now I heard that Pietro has left school again.

He even suspected that Pietro was looking for an excuse to go out and fool around.

That's why I specifically reminded you.

Hearing the professor's reminder, Hank McCoy, who was wearing glasses, nodded and said, "Understood. I will continue to pay attention to current affairs news outside."

After breakfast, the X-Men members walked out of the restaurant one after another.

Charles and Hank still have to continue teaching the children.

Riven took Ororo, who had just moved into the school, out to buy some daily necessities.

Alex, Nightcrawler and Scott were preparing to start their daily training.

After Jean Grey lost her abilities, she had been spending a lot of time in the school library these days, reading some positive classics to kill time, and today was no exception.

After seeing his daughter Lorna go to class obediently, Magneto Eric asked his old enemy Charles for the car keys and drove away from Xavier School for Gifted Children in a Jaguar.

As soon as Jean Grey walked into the castle library, she found Carl sitting in front of a walnut desk with his hands crossed on the table, staring at her with a smile on his face.

She looked around nervously and found that there was no one else in the quiet library except Karl.

"I didn't expect this bastard would like to read?"

Jean Grey complained quietly, walked towards the neatly arranged bookshelf, and stood on tiptoe to pick up a copy of "Les Miserables" from a high shelf.

But she suddenly thought that she had regained her abilities and there was no need to read this kind of book to comfort her wounded heart.

So she put the book back and picked up a Christian Bible.

He walked up to Carl and slapped the big book on the desk.

"No, I think you really need a Bible to cleanse your dirty and ugly heart!"

Karl’s smile disappeared. This girl was crying and begging for mercy last night, but now she dares to mock herself?

He didn't even look at the Bible, and said with disdain: "God's power is too weak to purify me. You should give me a copy of the Tao Te Ching."

"Tao Te Ching? What kind of book is this?" Jean Grey asked with a confused look on her face.

Karl had no intention of explaining. Those who understood would naturally understand. Did he really need to explain the Three Pure Ones to this European and American girl?
"I came to you today to talk about life. I heard that you are very anxious recently?"

Jean Grey's face darkened as she complained, "I was anxious because I lost my ability. Now that my ability has been restored, I am even more anxious. Who do you think is responsible?"

Carl, whose face was as thick as a city wall, pretended to be stupid and changed the subject:
"If you're so anxious, why don't you go out and relax, and be my tour guide and take me out to play?" Hearing this, Jean Grey was speechless. "Could this be the reason you came to see me?"

Karl said shamelessly: "Anyway, relaxing doesn't conflict with being a tour guide. Don't you think it's too boring to be stuck in school? Don't you want to go out and have some fun?"

Hearing this, Jean Grey felt a little moved. After all, she was only 20 years old this year, an age full of youth and vitality.

Her childhood has been overshadowed since she witnessed her childhood friend being killed by her own super powers at the age of 10.

Her parents were afraid of her, but fortunately Professor X showed up in time and took her back to Xavier's School for Gifted People.

But Qin's days in school were like a bird in a cage, without any freedom at all.

After all, since the events of Awakening, life for mutants has become increasingly difficult, and the professor does not allow underage students to leave the school.

As a result, Qin was trapped in school from childhood to adulthood, and was familiar with every corner of this castle manor to the point of being bored.

Even my love for Scott was just a result of affection that grew over time.

At this time, she was moved by Karl’s words, thought for a while, and said:
"The tourist attractions in New York are not interesting. I've been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other attractions several times on school outings."

"I've always wanted to go to Disneyland in Orlando, Florida, what do you think?"

Karl’s mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: “Disney Amusement Park? Ms. Qin, are you serious?”

Jean Grey's eyes were full of anticipation, and she said with a little excitement: "Of course I'm serious!"

"Before my abilities were out of control, my professor wouldn't let me go to crowded tourist spots, and I've wanted to visit Disney for a long time."

Of course, there was another reason she didn't say.

The happiest time for Qin during her childhood was when she was taken to Disneyland by her parents.

So, she now wants to revisit the place and recall the good times of her childhood.

And Karl looked at her like a child, staring at him, as if she would cry if he refused.

"Well, going to Disneyland is better than staying in the school library reading the Bible! Come hold my hand and I'll take you there."

Seeing Carl extending his hand, Jean Grey took it without hesitation.

Unconsciously, she had no resistance to close contact with Karl in her heart.

Karl held Qin's white and tender little hand, and the two disappeared in the library.

A blink of an eye.

The two appeared on the side of the street in Orlando, Florida.

There was a scorching sun overhead and few pedestrians on the streets. No one wanted to walk outside in such horrible weather.

Therefore, when Carl and Jean Grey suddenly appeared on the street corner, no one noticed at all.

Qin, who had just arrived in the outside world and thought she would be very happy to be free, frowned and covered her forehead with her hands.

The scorching sun made her regret coming out to play.

Carl conjured up two pairs of sunglasses and masks out of thin air, put one on himself, and handed the other pair to Qin.

"Wear a mask to hide your face."

"You are famous. I am sure your mutant files are on the desks of leaders of various countries."

"I don't want to be targeted by FBI agents when I go out to play."

Jean Grey obediently took the sunglasses and mask. After putting on these two camouflage tools, the probability of being noticed by someone was greatly reduced.

Carl hailed a taxi and the driver was a middle-aged black man with tattoos all over his neck.

"Hey, lucky guy, your girlfriend is so hot! Wanna go somewhere?"

As soon as Carl and Qin sat down, the black driver in the driving seat grinned and asked about their destination in a familiar manner.

"Thanks for the compliment, but if you keep staring at my girlfriend, I might get angry."

After Karl retorted, he said the destination, "To Disney Resort."

Qin's expression couldn't be seen because she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, but she felt quite happy to hear Carl's protective look.

The black driver stepped on the accelerator and the taxi sped away.

The car speed was getting faster and faster, and the street scenes on both sides were receding rapidly.

"You guys are from out of town, right? The locals are tired of Disneyland, but there's a jazz bar nearby called 'Gitas' that's pretty good!"

“I strongly recommend you go there for a happy night”

The black driver controlled the steering wheel with one hand in a casual manner, and strongly recommended that the two go to the bar to have some fun.

Not getting a response, the driver took out a pack of cigarettes and tried to pass one to Carl in the back seat, but was rejected.

"I don't smoke this!"

"Click! This cigarette can make people forget their worries. Are you sure you don't want to try it?" The black driver asked with some doubt after taking out a lighter and lighting one for himself.

Nonsense, this cigarette with added ingredients will definitely make people forget their worries!
"Need not!"

Carl still refused coldly.

"Okay, but the bar band I just mentioned has released a super popular rock album that is very popular among you young people."

"Besides, the drinks there are cheap, there are lots of girls, and the key is that there is a new type of stuff that has appeared recently, which will definitely make you guys crazy."

The black driver kept muttering, and Carl was annoyed by it, so he interrupted:

"We are not interested in the bar you mentioned, especially the new one you mentioned!"

In 1983, marijuana and white flour were all the rage in America, and attitudes toward sex were becoming more open.

Men and women in almost all bars and nightclubs across the country would take drugs, listen to rock music and enjoy a crazy and extravagant nightlife.

Some nightclubs even have "special moments", where at a certain time, smoke containing psychedelic substances will be sprayed in the nightclub venue.

In the misty environment that looks like a fairyland, countless men and women wearing masks can fully release their bestial desires.

But to be honest, this kind of nightclub is too low-class. Carl doesn't even look down on it. His standards are too high. Besides, he has had "crazy parties" with Wanda and other girls before.
But Jean Grey next to her, perhaps because her rebellious teenage period had been delayed, actually suggested that she wanted to try the bar recommended by the black driver.

"How about we go check out this bar called Gittas tonight?"

The driver in the driving seat, upon hearing this, said even more enthusiastically: "As long as you go, I promise you will never be disappointed."

"By the way, when you get there, remember to say my name, Uncle Ghana, and you can get a discount on drinks."

I'm afraid the latter sentence is the main point he wants to make?

Carl was calm.

In order to get the commission, this driver definitely put in the most enthusiastic sales attitude in his life.

"Uncle Ghana? This name sounds like a story. Can you tell me the origin of this name?"

Jean Grey is just like an innocent little girl who is curious about everything.
