Chapter 467: Guilty Verdict The knight descends

The U.S. Supreme Court, a sacred place representing U.S. justice, is now ushering in the most noisy and lively session in 50 years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's hard to imagine that this is just an investigative hearing, not a public trial of some big guy's big thing. But in any case, the courtroom at this time was already crowded with people.

The people outside had received the news from the television and had come to witness the final outcome of the hearing. At this time, it can be said that they have been clearly divided into two phalanxes.

In a phalanx there was a slogan "Mutants die!" "Don't be a mutant", "Murderer, conspirator" and so on. Obviously, they still belong to the traditional side, to the human camp that discriminates against mutants and against them.

And the other phalanx is under the banner of "Mutants, Partners of Justice!" "We believe in you, mutants!" Something like that. Most of these people had arrived from New York, and it was clear that they had split from the original human race and become a new human camp willing to understand mutants and live with them.

This is undoubtedly good news for the **** mutants who have been committed to the harmonious coexistence and equal life of humans and mutants. But for humanity, it is the beginning of a new dispute.

The traditional anti-mutant camp who believed that mutants had murdered the president, and even hatched a series of conspiracies, thought that these fools from New York must be crazy, and they were blinded by the little favors shown by mutants, and they couldn't even see their true evil colors.

And for those who are on the side of the mutants, they are sick to their stomachs when they see the guys yelling for the mutants to die. It's a bunch of ignorant hubris who don't even know what's going on and just take it for granted and just throw everything at mutants. They even said that because of their own jealousy, they did not hesitate to believe the government's full of lies, and even waved their flags for their lies. If you say that a person is like a pig, you may be an insult to a pig.

Based on the difference in positions, it is impossible for the humans on both sides to communicate at all. And just before this hearing began, they had already begun to shell each other and start a war of words. This kind of controversy is not uncommon in a free country, but it is something that many people did not expect to be outside of a hearing.

Listening to the noisy and brain-wrenching sounds outside, Logan pushed the professor's wheelchair and bared his teeth at him.

"If you regret it now, I think we'll have time to go back. Seriously, professor, you really don't need to bother with these politicians. It's not their turn to judge what we've done. ”

"Hold off, Logan. If we go back now, it will only make people think that we are empty-hearted. Compared to Logan's irritable appearance, the professor was very calm. Or, because he had no guilt in his heart, he had nothing to fear at all. Even in this case, he was in the mood to preach to Logan. "And, imagine what's at stake, Rogan. If we don't attend this meeting, we'll just undo everything they've done before. It took so long and so much effort for these children to get the support of those humans. Even if it's for them, we have to be here! ”

The professor knew very well what it meant to Logan to be a naughty girl. It was an intimate relationship between a father and a daughter. If it weren't a last resort, what father would be willing to sacrifice his child's hard work? Logan didn't think he could do that, so he simply shut his mouth and pushed the professor into the courtroom, to the special seat.

And looking at the appearance of Professor Charles, the host who had been waiting for a long time, that is, Mr. Interim President, who had planned all this, immediately showed a smile.

"Professor Charles, I have long admired the great name. I thought you wouldn't show up today! ”

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. Excellency! I don't think there's any reason why I'm afraid to come, so why wouldn't I be here? ”

Listening to the interim president's words, Professor Charles immediately replied. And this sentence immediately made the interim president's face change, and he smiled apologetically and said to Professor Charles.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I didn't mean to target you, and I just wanted you to tell yourself about it and prove your innocence. After all, the death of Mr. President is so bizarre, as the most capable of doing all this, I believe that many people will not be satisfied if you do not give an explanation. Of course, as long as you explain it clearly, you can say anything. ”

"I see what you mean, Your Excellency!" The interim president's tone of almost pinning the charge on Professor Charles's head made Logan, who was behind the professor, immediately burst into muscles, revealing a hideous look. He was eager to go up and talk to the interim Mr. President about how to speak. But the professor held him back, so that he couldn't act rashly at all. At the same time, the professor said to the interim president with a calm and smiling face.

"Your Excellency, I'm ready. Are you ready to start? ”

"Of course, the timing was just right!" Glancing at the clock, as the presiding officer of this hearing, the interim president immediately knocked on the gavel in front of him, and after everyone was seated and the audience was silent, he began the meeting he had planned for a long time.

"Gentlemen and ladies. It is a pleasure for you to participate in this hearing. This is a support for justice and judicial fairness in the United States, and a promotion and assistance to world peace and development. On behalf of the federal government, on behalf of the United States, I would like to thank you for your support. ”

"As for the reason for this hearing, I believe you all already have an understanding. And here, I would like to introduce you to the presenters of this hearing. Charles. Professor Xavier, one of the leaders of the mutants, is also the biggest suspect in the alleged control of the president. ”

"In addition, the composition of the committee is mainly composed of representatives of the Ministry of Defence, the Supreme Court, trade unions, and randomly selected gentlemen and ladies. Professor Charles, you have no objections! ”

"Nope! You can continue, Your Excellency! Shaking his head, Professor Charles smiled at all the members of the hearing committee and motioned to the interim president.

"Very well, then I declare. The hearing has officially begun. First of all, following the process, I need to ask you a question, Professor Charles. Can you tell me if you have ever invaded and manipulated the mind of Mr. President, making him give orders to use nuclear bombs and even massacre citizens? ”

"I don't, Your Excellency. There is no doubt about that! ”

On this question, Professor Charles answered categorically. But the interim president smiled and asked rhetorically.

"So how do you prove that you didn't do such a thing?"

This question is counterintuitive, because American justice has always followed the process of conviction of guilt. You must have enough evidence to prove the person's guilt before they can be tried in the name of the law. And now, this sentence of the interim president is simply like asking Professor Charles to provide evidence to prove his innocence, so as to prove his innocence and wash away his grievances.

This sounds like a vexatious man. But that's what the interim president did, and he did it in a grand way. There was not the slightest hesitation or embarrassment at all.

In the face of such inquiries, Professor Charles glanced at the smiling interim president on the stage, and then at the hearing committees who were silent and just watched coldly. A heart sank immediately.

He knew that it was impossible for him to get justice here. His desire to walk in with dignity and walk out cleanly had been completely shattered. He underestimated the sordid nature of politics, and this underestimation immediately hit him head-on at this time, leaving him at a moment not knowing what to do.

In a courtroom, silence is no different from death. Even if the situation is not good for him, Charles can only reluctantly defend himself.

"I have no reason to do so, Your Excellency!"

"No, you have. If the president undermines the country again and again under your control, your special students will be able to play a bigger role and build a better image in society. This seems to be your dream all along, isn't it normal to do these things for your dreams? ”

"Then I have no reason to control the president!" Furrowing his eyebrows, Charles tried his best to be more convincing. "My students have been doing a great job, if I want to do what you say. With their efforts, there will soon be a day, won't it? ”

"That being said, Professor. But not everyone can have this patience. Especially for an old man whose time is short. How long will it take to achieve your dreams with your students, 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years? They can wait that long, what about you? Professor: Can you wait thirty years? I understand one's desire to see one's dreams come true, Professor. Moreover, wouldn't it be a pity if such a good opportunity for an alien invasion was wasted? ”

The interim president cleverly set a trap that made every reason Charles say possible as a pretext for his plots. At this time, under the premise that mankind is generally suspicious of mutants, Professor Charles actually found that he had nothing to say.

It's not that there's nothing to say, it's that there's simply no more to say. Because he was afraid that the more he talked, the deeper he would fall, and perhaps even his own students. So, he could only be silent.

"No reason? Professor. Or have you already given up? ”

The expression on Professor Charles's face began to become stiff and wooden. The interim president, however, smiled on his face. Since he dared to let Charles attend this hearing, he was naturally well prepared. Whatever he says, it's useless. This is his territory, and he can only listen to him here.

And just when he wanted to swing his hammer and give this hearing a qualitative answer. The entire courthouse suddenly became ablaze. A ray of light suddenly descended from the sky, pierced through the dome of the court, and mapped to the center of the court. Let this court be brilliant and bright, almost like a world of light.

As one of the few shadows in this world, the interim president, who sat at the top of the world, gritted his teeth and looked at the bright and glaring figure that suddenly appeared in the center, and let out a low bark like a jackal.

"Knight of the Dawn, you're really here!" (To be continued.) )
