Pika Pika No Mi In Marvel - Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Comical Teenager, Nightcrawler
The Essex Corporation, this company directly relates to a classic antagonist in Marvel or, more specifically, in The X-Men.
In “Apocalypse,” there was even a scene where Essex Corporation employees infiltrated Xavier’s secret research facility and took the X-Weapon, Wolverine’s genetic blood sample. Mr. Sinister is an extremely radical genetic research expert who is obsessed with studying mutant genes.
In this era when mutants are gradually becoming known to the world, the Essex Corporation, led by Mr. Sinister, captures mutants everywhere, collecting their genetic material. However…
What puzzled Yu Feng was that the people from the Essex Corporation heard from Caliban that there was a very powerful mutant in the circus. Could it be referring to Nightcrawler?
Nightcrawler was not bad, but he was far from being considered extremely powerful. Could it be that Caliban’s initial sensing was actually about… Jean?
The people from the Essex Corporation were unaware of Nightcrawler’s true abilities. Perhaps upon hearing the words “demon” and the news that there was a powerful mutant in the circus from Caliban, they naturally assumed that the “demon”…
These thoughts flashed through Yu Feng’s mind, and then his gaze shifted from the people of the Essex Corporation to the strange box. With Nightcrawler’s teleportation ability, he could instantly move to any place he had seen or been to. So naturally, they needed a way to trap him.
The content of this box was likely Nightcrawler.
“Jean, do it.”
“Okay.”
Jean nodded and reached out her small hand in the air.
Immediately, the strange box floated up. She focused her thoughts, and suddenly, with a crack, the entire box seemed to disintegrate into particles and dissipated into the air.
And then…
A figure with pointed ears and a devil-like tail appeared. At first glance, he looked like a mischievous teenager, with his entire body covered in blue. He seemed strange.
“Huh?” Jean made a soft sound, curious as she looked over. “Is that the demon? He really does look like a demon!”
Yu Feng wore an intrigued expression. Indeed, Nightcrawler.
The current Nightcrawler appeared even younger than in the original movie. He looked like a carefree teenager, wearing a stylish red jacket. Perhaps due to being in the box for too long, the current Nightcrawler seemed like he hadn’t fully woken up yet, even yawning.
Sensing the light around him, he slowly opened his eyes. When he discovered that the box surrounding him was gone, he first froze, then couldn’t help but show a delighted expression. But then, when he realized he was currently floating in mid-air…
“Wow! What’s going on?! Why am I flying?! Am I dead?! Has my soul left my body?!!!”
“Oh, amen.”
“I hope God, seeing me like this, won’t mistake me for a demon and send me to hell.” Nightcrawler first let out a cry of surprise, but quickly, he started praying, tightly closing his eyes as if he really believed he was dead.
Seeing this, Yu Feng and Jean walked closer, and Yu Feng said, “What are you a clown? You should at least open your eyes and look around before making a conclusion, right?”
Seeing Nightcrawler’s dumbfounded and comical appearance, Jean couldn’t help but laugh and said to Yu Feng, “He’s not scary at all, in fact, he’s kind of cute!”
Yu Feng looked at Nightcrawler suspended in mid-air with a speechless expression and calmly said, “Alright, Jean, retract your power. Don’t be so proud. Let’s see what he is.”
Jean nodded her little head and withdrew her telekinetic control.
Without Jean’s control, Nightcrawler immediately felt the emptiness beneath him and suddenly fell to the ground. This fall startled Nightcrawler, causing him to instinctively use his own abilities.
Bang!
His body turned into blue smoke and disappeared!
“Huh?”
Yu Feng’s gaze shifted, realizing that Nightcrawler still had some skills. At least, he was quite quick in using his abilities when faced with danger…
Just as he was thinking that he heard a series of “bang, bang, bang” sounds in the air.
Nightcrawler’s figure appeared and disappeared in the air, sometimes crashing into the walls, other times into the ceiling.
Finally, Nightcrawler suddenly vanished completely.
However, outside, a cry of despair suddenly rang out.
Yu Feng and Jean looked outside and saw Nightcrawler hanging on the electric pole, being electrocuted to the point where his hair was almost singed.
Finally, with a “pop,” he fell to the ground, looking half-dead.
Yu Feng stared at him expressionlessly.
Well, he shouldn’t have said those words just now.
Jean, on the other hand, found this guy more and more interesting the more she looked at him and said to Yu Feng, “Yu, this creature is a very powerful mutant. He seems to have a bit of a comical character, though.”
Saying that she stepped forward and poked Nightcrawler’s head.
This time, Nightcrawler finally reacted. He looked up at Jean, then at Yu Feng, blinked his eyes, and dazedly said, “Are you… Are you angels sent to redeem me?”
“Haha!” Jean chuckled again and then used telepathy to communicate, “We are indeed here to redeem you, but I’m not an angel. We are your kind, we are… mutants!!”
“What? Mutants…”
Although Nightcrawler was a bit slow, he wasn’t stupid, especially when Jean directly presented the information in his mind through telepathy. He immediately understood.
