A prince from a certain American comic book

I'll think about it.

Ike shifted his gaze from the alluring river of time to what he had discovered outside.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

It turns out that there's more than one mutant in the Armitage family; Mrs. Armitage, who is currently hypnotizing his body, is also a mutant.

only……

Wasn't it supposed to be that the offspring of mutants would only be mutants like those that appear on Deadly Bend?

The woman who hit him earlier, Lucy Armitage, wasn't a mutant.

For a moment, Ike was in a mental whirlwind.

One body, two souls.

Soul mutants.

Hypnotizing mutants.

……

Sitting atop the river of time, directly immune to the hypnotic mutant's abilities, Ike thought of something that made his mouth involuntarily gape open.

next second.

Ike looked down at the river of time before him.

With a thought, the river of time instantly shifted, waves rose on its surface, and then time... flowed backward.

When Ike mentioned using the River of Time, he meant intervening in it; simply watching the River of Time wouldn't attract the attention of the leader of the Great Snow Mountain.

quite a while.

With a thunderous roar, the river of time flowing upstream was instantly frozen in time.

Ike looked down.

Not long after.

Ike, regaining his senses, exclaimed with endless admiration, "Truly a... genius."

After going back in time, Ekko finally understood what had happened.

This Mrs. Missy Armitage is Mrs. Missy Armitage.

But what about Mr. Dean Armitage?

Let's say that.

This Mr. Dean Armitage's real name should be Roman Armitage.

That's right.

Dean Armitage's soul was also replaced, by his own father, and the replacement was thorough.

but……

Ike frowned, recalling the original timeline of Get Out. In the original timeline, shouldn't Dean's father have been replaced by the body of a servant in the mansion? Why is it different here?

Ike quickly came to terms with it.

His sister Elsa is a perfect example. What happened to Elsa running away to the wilderness and freezing herself? Bullshit. Ike interprets this as a deviation in the timeline.

Very normal.

After all, this isn't a movie; this is the real world, and a world with a grander worldview at that. It's understandable that there might be some discrepancies.

As for Lucy Armitage?

Very simple.

In terms of timeline, Ike has already figured everything out: Lucy Armitage is not their biological child, but was adopted directly from the hospital when she was still an infant.

As for Lucy's real mother?

Who knows?

Ike was watching Dean Armitage's timeline, not Lucy's real mother's timeline.

He paused for a moment.

Having understood everything, Ekko got up and immediately focused his mind on his own body.

After the mind re-enters the body, it remains motionless.

Mrs. Armitage had no idea that Ike hadn't been completely hypnotized. Instead, she smiled and pointed to the corner of the basement, saying to Ike, "Sit there, don't look, don't speak, don't move."

Instantly getting into character, Ike mechanically turned around and stiffly moved step by step in the direction Armitage pointed.

However, as Ike passed Mrs. Armitage, he swiftly and accurately tossed a small black dot into her coat pocket with his right hand...

Mrs. Armitage's face was beaming with smiles.

After resealing the secret basement, Mrs. Armitage walked into the living room and said to Dean, who was sitting on the sofa, "You're really incompetent."

Dean laughed and said, "But if we want to live forever, my abilities are more reliable."

Mrs. Armitage frowned and asked, "How do you plan to get rid of him?"

Dean, whose face was already covered in wrinkles, smiled broadly and said, "After we finish the ceremony..."

Mrs. Armitage said with a strange look, "I like Lucy, and I can't wait to experience the charm of this young black man."

Dean smiled but didn't say anything.

Just then.

Ding dong.

Dean and Mrs. Armitage looked toward the door where the doorbell had rung.

The two walked to the door and opened it. Their daughter, Lucy, was standing gracefully with Chris, the young black man she had brought back this time, with a smile on her face.

Lucy hugged Dean and smiled at his young black man, saying, "This is my dad, Dean. Dad, this is Chris."

Dean flashed a bright smile, extended his hand to Chris, who was dressed in a suit, and said with a smile, "Please call me Mr. Armitage."

Chris nodded and said, "Of course."

Dean laughed and said, "I was just kidding. Just call me Dean. Come over here and give me a heads-up. Dude, you're doing great, aren't you?"

"I'm fine, how are you?"

"Of course, we love hugs."

Chris was stunned by Dean's non-discriminatory and somewhat overly enthusiastic attitude, but feeling Dean's hand roaming over his back, Chris suddenly had a strange and familiar feeling, as if he had done the same thing when he went to the supermarket to buy steaks.

But this strange thought only flashed through my mind and then disappeared.

Because Lucy's mother, Mrs. Armitage, hugged him.

Lucy, who was standing next to her, introduced, "This is my mother."

“Call me Missy.” Mrs. Armitage smiled and exchanged a glance with Chris before embracing him.

In that instant, all of Chris's strange feelings vanished.

Chapter 023: Face is more important than life

Chris, the young Black man, was warmly welcomed into the Armitage family's villa. (Ice & Fire@Chinese www.bhZW.cc)

The atmosphere in the villa's living room was very lively.

Chris, the young black man, was initially a little uneasy about his skin color, but his anxiety instantly vanished.

The enthusiasm of Lucy's family almost exceeded Chris's expectations, and even surpassed them.

even.

As Mr. Dean Armitage led him on a tour of the room, Dean said to Chris, "Are you kidding me? If there were a black presidential candidate right now, I guarantee I would cast my vote for him and even persuade my friends to do the same."

Chris was instantly smitten.

Although there was a slight hiccup on the way here today, perhaps this is a trial given by God. Isn't it true that the bitterness has finally given way to the sweetness?

Perhaps today's marriage proposal will be very successful.

Chris, the young Black man, thought to himself with delight, already looking forward to the dinner party that evening.

Dean...

Uh, no, the reason why Roman, who occupies Dean's body, is so enthusiastic is quite simple.

Dean knew.

Mrs. Armitage knew as well.

even.

Even Ike, who was in the basement, knew.

But it was precisely because Ekko knew this that he was completely bewildered.

Without him.

The plan he and Jerry had just devised was based on the assumption that the original timeline would not undergo a major shift.

But now?

Shit.

Ike snapped out of his daze, looked up at the noise coming from the floor above, and muttered to himself, "Could you be any more ridiculous?"

In the original timeline, Lucy brought Chris to the auction.

But here?

Maggi, in this timeline, not only is Chris the prey, but Lucy has also become the prey...

Ike became depressed again.

Ah shit.

Is it possible that his scheming skills are only limited to the surface and cannot be skillfully applied in reality?
