Chapter Seventy-Two: Unexpectedly Smooth (Second Update~Asking for Tickets~Asking for Subscription)
Although the Mutant School is located in the suburbs of New York, it is a semi-closed state. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this does not mean that Charles will let his students study and live in such a closed state all the time.
After all, what he wants is for his students to integrate into the life circle of ordinary people, and finally achieve the peaceful coexistence of mutants and ordinary humans.
So at Xavier School for the Gifted and Gifted, there are also outdoor classes every month to visit New York City museums and famous tourist attractions like the Statue of Liberty.
Of course, there are also days off at school. Children in the lower grades are not allowed to go out alone and need to be accompanied by a teacher if they need to go to New York City. Older students don't need to be so troublesome.
After all, children over the age of fifteen or sixteen are already very independent. You can't keep them in school like they're going to jail. Young people like to be lively. You can't keep them locked up in the middle of nowhere of New York all the time.
Therefore, if a senior student applies on a day off, he or she should report it to the teacher at the school. Then the teacher will agree to let them go to New York City.
Just explain what you're going to do, and then come back at about what time and leave your contact information. The teachers at Xavier's School for the Gifted would have agreed to let them out.
So every day off, many upperclassmen go to New York City with their friends. Either to see the latest movie or to go shopping at the mall to buy clothes. Or go for New York City's famous tapas and delicacies, and have a tooth festival.
After training at Xavier's School for the Gifted, these students are able to control their abilities. There will no longer be a phenomenon of mutant abilities going out of control. So Charles himself still supports his students to go out and play.
After all, in addition to relying on him, an old professor, the most important thing for normal communication with society is to rely on these children themselves.
And when a new day off comes. Daken asks his father, Logan, that he wants to go out.
"Where are you going?" said Logan was preparing for class in his office. It's hard to believe that a rough man like him can be a teacher. His main education was sports and history.
"Go for a walk around New York City. I want to buy something. Daken said, standing across from Logan.
"Do you need me to come with you? You don't know New York City very well. "Logan wanted to try to get closer to Daken.
"Hmm~. Daken hesitated. "No, I want to buy something personal. ”
Logan wanted to look Daken in the eye, but Daken didn't want to make eye contact with Logan. In the end, Logan had no choice but to give up, and he put down the lesson plan at hand. Leaned back in his chair helplessly and shook his head.
"Well, remember to come back early. I can give you one hundred and fifty dollars, which should be enough for you to go to New York City, don't spend money indiscriminately. Logan finally pulled his wallet out of his jacket pocket, took two bills out of it and handed them to Daken.
Because of what Paul said before, about Daken's love for Katie. Logan subconsciously wondered if Daken wanted to buy Katie a gift to please her.
But so far, Daken has not confessed to Logan about this matter. Logan also never pressed Daken to ask. Because he didn't want Daiken to feel that he was the same person as Mariko, maybe he should give him a little space to grow freely, and he just needed to be there to protect him?
Daken took the bill from Logan and nodded to him. "I'll be back when I'm done. Soon. ”
At this time, Logan had no idea what his son was doing in New York City.
Just like what Paul said to Dyken last night. "We are the same kind of people. ”
"I killed my adoptive parents. "We're the same kind of people. ”
"I want this life to continue, and no one can destroy it. ”
"You and Katie will both be taken to the lab and turned into test subjects!"
These words lingered in Daken's ears like a spell. All the way to the end of Paul's most crucial sentence. "Only mutants can save mutants!"
Daken is convinced of the correctness of this statement. He wants his current life, whether it's school, his father, or the girl he loves. For these, he can give everything. Even if it is to kill again, it will not hesitate!
And when he arrived at the waiting point for the shuttle bus to New York, Paul had been waiting for him there for a long time.
"You didn't let me down, Dacon. Paul came up and grabbed Daken's shoulders.
"Because the only ones who can save mutants are mutants. Dacon's tone was resolute.
…………………………
Macaulay is a radical mutant oppositionist. This can be seen in his countless televised speeches. He is a New York City Councilor and a well-known news critic.
His anti-mutant policy included the legal registration of all mutants in the United States. And make these mutants public.
Give people the right to choose whether they want to live in the same neighborhood as mutants, and whether they want their children to go to the same school as mutants. Every company and business has the right to know if their employees are mutants or not.
Even in some of the more radical occasions, Macaulay proposed that all mutants live in the same neighborhood and go to the same school. A deformed Jewish concentration camp model was used to control mutants.
It's like the thirteenth-century policy of bringing all the lepers together and leaving them to fend for themselves. He saw mutants as a contagious epidemic, as if there were mutants in this society, then they would be infected.
This radical policy has left many mutants unhappy. Even a sense of fear. Macaulay's speech won him a lot of popular support, especially for the radical faction that fears mutants.
And he had just returned from Washington yesterday, and he was trying to persuade Congress to move forward with his plan.
"If you can get all the vampires to register, why can't the mutants. I think the Vampire Act is good!" he said.
But Congress is a bit scorched right now, mainly because of the problems in Eastern Europe. The war in Latvia is mostly untenable. Russia has already lost a lot of soldiers, and their president no longer wants to make senseless sacrifices.
Tony began lobbying Congress and the president, and even the other P5 countries. Including him saying he could try to convince Doom and so on. This led to quite a heated quarrel within Congress.
There are those who support a peaceful solution to the Eastern European problem, but there are also those who want to continue the war. But those who want to go to war are always in the minority.
And because of these problems, Macaulay's proposal didn't receive much attention. However, Macaulay's trip to Washington to implement his bill again caused many media to follow him.
It seems that Macaulay has been involved with mutants all his life. As long as it is a matter of mutants, he must fight mutants to the end. I don't know why he has such a deep hatred.
And Dacon, under Paul's guidance, also began to understand this guy named Macaulay. The middle-aged man wore gold-rimmed glasses and oiled hair. Dressed in a neat and clean suit, the clothes are ironed very smoothly without a trace of wrinkles. He looks like any successful person.
But beneath his seemingly well-mannered exterior lies a demon that is terrifying to all mutants.
Daken couldn't imagine if this man named Macaulay really pushed his new bill away. Forcing all the mutants into that state of being left to their own devices, then can he still maintain the new life he just began to love.
As Paul told him, it is very likely that he and his father will end up being thrown into a laboratory as test subjects. He needed to stop this from happening. For yourself, for Logan, for Katie, for all mutants!
Macaulay's residence in New York is a detached cottage on Long Island. The man, who was nearly forty years old, still has no family, except for the part-time worker who comes to his house once a week on Thursday to help him with cleaning.
He was the only one living in this small villa for a long time.
Having just flown back to New York from Washington yesterday, Macaulay was feeling a little tired. So he woke up a little later today than usual, and when he woke up, it was almost noon.
Shaking his somewhat tired brain, Macaulay wanted to go to the kitchen and get himself a cup of coffee to refresh himself.
Just as he was making his coffee, he felt as if something wasn't quite right. It was as if there was something more in the house.
His instincts weren't wrong, Daken was lurking here. In the countless confrontation training with the black ninja, Dai Ken relied on the experience he gained from donating blood to roughly master some of the ninjutsu of the black ninjas.
It's about how to sneak in and how to cover your breath. If he didn't know these basic ninjutsu, he would often end up very miserable in the training with the black ninja.
And killing Macaulay was Paul's plan. Daken agrees, as Macaulay's bills and his remarks on television are both things that make the situation for mutants more difficult.
Paul wanted to kill the man called Macaulay silently. Without alarming the security system of this house. Paul wasn't sure he could do it himself, so he found Decon. And Dyken was also persuaded by Paul's statement.
Now this guy who is an enemy to all mutants is right in front of his eyes. Hardly there's any hesitation, and he leaps out of his hiding place and heads straight at Macaulay.
Macaulay was really startled when another person suddenly appeared in the house, and that person seemed to be working against him.
He subconsciously put his hand on the faucet, as if he wanted to do something. But when Daken popped his bony claws from the ends of his fingers.
Macaulay found out when the guy who wanted to kill himself was a mutant. His intention to do something stopped immediately.
A spark of enthusiasm burst out of his eyes, but it was gone. He was like a middle-aged man in his forties whose body was beginning to rust, barely dodging to be thrust into his heart by Daken's claws. He didn't let out a single scream until he died, nor did he press any of the alarms in the room.
The moment the claws were inserted into his body, a strange smile even appeared on his face. But it was quickly covered up by him.
And when Dyken pierced his heart, Macaulay fell silently to the floor of his house. Blood flowed all over the floor. He was simply killed like an ordinary person. There was no resistance, and it was easier than Daken had imagined.
And Paul, who had been guarding for Daken outside, used his fire control ability to set the entire villa on fire after learning that Daken had succeeded. Macaulay's body, in particular, was destroyed by him, and it was impossible to tell that he had been killed with a sharp claw.
Paul was going to deal with this as an accidental fire accident in the kitchen. And when he had done all this, Paul and Dyken had evacuated early according to the chosen escape route.
And just as they were leaving, in another place they didn't know.
A man in a black trench coat standing on a mountain in the distance is holding a telescope of ultra-high magnification looking at Macaulay's villa, which is beginning to burn.
"Thank you for all you have done so far, Councillor Macaulay. I'll take care of the rest. Let me fulfill your last wish!"
