Chapter 9: The Increasingly Embarrassed Mutants (Second Update, Asking for Votes and Subscribing)
"Is this leg okay, it's the best Australian cattle, whole grain fed. "In a butcher shop, the waiter is trying his best to sell a beautiful beef leg to Li Jie.www.biquge.info
Whole beef thighs are expensive, and the portions are quite heavy. However, there are more people in the base, and several men have a big appetite, so they won't be unable to eat.
Now the streets are full of news about vampires, including the TV in this butcher shop, which has been adjusted to this news program by the owner.
This made Li Jie's mood a little complicated, on the one hand, exposing the vampire was what he had been expecting, but in such a way, there were many things to hide, which was not what he wanted.
After wrapping the whole corbel directly, Li Jie decided to find a café to have a cup of coffee and relax in a cake.
"Thank you. "I found a coffee shop and sat down, ordered a bitter cup of coffee and a piece of tiramisu. But even a relaxing coffee shop isn't quiet right now.
The stereo and TV, which used to play light music, are now suddenly bursting into the news, because other customers have asked for it. Li Jie's mood was even worse, and he planned to leave soon, but the content in the news attracted him.
It's not about vampires, it's a separate discussion.
"Mr. Macaulay, what do you think about the new bill that Congress is promoting?" a well-known NBC host asked a question from a guest.
"It's a step forward, and our country has been improving. "Mr. Macaulay began to blow the farroe first. "I think the government is doing the right thing. ”
"Because vampires are very dangerous, and they are hidden among ordinary people, they are not easy to detect. "The so-called expert Mr. Macaulay began his nonsense.
"Now that the government really has the tools to deal with vampires, we can control this virus. He described the vampire thing as a virus, not a mysterious side thing that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Because of this, it is more acceptable to the general public.
"Regarding the new vampire bill, I am in favor of it with both hands. This will be effective in controlling the vampires of the past. Macaulay's words made the host nod frequently, and many customers in the coffee shop agreed.
"Just like inmates who have served their sentences from prison, if they have a tendency to commit a crime for a long time, or if they are released on bail, they need to report to the police station or their probation officer every week. ”
This is used to determine their recent behavior and whether they will have a tendency to continue sinking. Vampires are a disease, and getting infected is not necessarily the will of the population. "The continues.
"It's very important to be sure in this way that they are not continuing to commit crimes because of their previous experiences. Macaulay took a sip of water.
"Do you think the House of Representatives and Congress should tighten the code for special populations?" the moderator seemed to be asking an in-depth question and answer on this question, but in fact the real drama has just begun.
"Yes, I think it's very necessary. Macaulay cleared his throat.
"Vampires used to be an irreversible disease. Now that they can be controlled, then we should accept them as long as we have proper control, they are normal people and should not be discriminated against. ”
Li Jie is very disdainful of serious nonsense, but it is impossible to jump out and say anything, so he can only bow his head and eat the cake.
"Here I must say that our country is progressing, but in some areas it is not enough. Macaulay was serious, and the host followed up appropriately.
"What do you mean?"
"It's about the mutant aspect, and I'm sure most people understand that unlike vampires being a disease, mutants are more of a monster. Macaulay said with a frown, his expression a little disgusted.
Li Jie's original action of lowering his head to eat the cake also stopped, this guy is no longer talking nonsense, but is talking nonsense, Li Jie feels very angry.
Vampires and humans are the ones who have irreconcilable contradictions, while mutants are more of a subspecies of normal humans.
"They are using their abilities with impunity, persecuting ordinary people, and mutant criminals, we all know it. It is very difficult for ordinary police officers to apprehend mutant criminals. ”
Macaulay said righteously, but what he said made Li Jie feel disgusted.
Most mutants cause damage because they can't control their abilities, which could have been controlled by training, but because there are many people like Macaulay who are advocating similar rhetoric.
This makes the situation of mutants more and more difficult, and it also makes many mutants forced to embark on the path of crime.
At this point, there is the self-abandonment of mutants, and there is also the excessive oppression of normal human society.
"So I think there should be a new bill in our country. Something like the Vampire Act that allows us to regulate mutants. Macaulay's remarks drew frequent echoes from the TV hosts.
"We should centralize the management of mutants, register their real information and detailed addresses, and the people should have the right to choose whether they want to be neighbors with mutants. ”
"Or whether to send children to schools with mutants. Companies have the right to hire mutants or not, and you have to know that mutants often make things complicated. "Macaulay's words are already blatant discrimination.
But there is no way, mutants have always been unpopular in mainstream society. Li Jie does not discriminate against mutants, because people's likes and dislikes have nothing to do with whether they are mutants or not.
A good guy is a good guy, and a bad guy is a bad guy. It's like debating whether guns are sinful or not, and there's never a right or wrong debate.
"So I hope the government should consider introducing new laws to control mutants well. Macaulay's final closing remarks.
"People have the right to know more truths, they shouldn't be blinded, it's people's freedom. ”
Papapa~, there was a scattered sound of applause in the café, and some people whispered in agreement with what Macaulay had just said.
Li Jie looked at the instigated crowd around him and suddenly remembered a sentence, freedom, how many crimes are done in the name of you!
Who is really deceiving everyone? Who is the one who is covering up the truth of society, and who is the real culprit who is creating this social contradiction?
The Vampire Act that was pushed has set off a terrible chain reaction, and knowing the truth is worse than not knowing it at all.
The emotions and public opinion that have been guided will once again push the contradictions against mutants to the forefront, the story that has been changed, and the new law that has been implemented.
The wheels of history are rolling inexorably, and some people are advocating that all mutants should be driven to live in one place.
All mutants should be tagged, and mutants should not even appear in public.
When Poland was invaded by Germany, the Nazis demanded that all Jews be registered, and then all Jews were required to wear the six-pointed star mark.
Jews were then not allowed to sit on park benches, and Jews were not allowed to appear in any public places.
Then the Jews were concentrated and finally the butcher's knife was raised against them.
Madman, when you are encouraged by your ignorance, do you know that you will pay for the worst evil in the world?
Li Jie felt very uncomfortable, and he wanted to leave. He motioned for the waitress to pay the bill, but the waitress seemed frightened, and the girl was shivering. (To be continued.) )
