Chapter 41 Reactions from all sides
After a battle that touched the nerves of almost the whole of New York City, the next day, the newspapers and magazines were full of crazy discussions about the matter, and television and computer news were endless. They turned Dr. Lizard's old bottom through it, and from this incident, they slowly began to discuss the problem of mutants again.
The views of both sides are very clear and very opposite! On the one hand, they support Spider-Man, for this guy who is floating around in New York City, constantly saving their lives and property safety, they support from the bottom of their hearts, it is difficult to do good things for a day, it is rare to continue to pay day and night, without asking for returns, it is obvious that the little spider is about to conquer ordinary people. In the minds of the vast majority of people, the little spider is a mutant, and objectively, this has also brought a lot of benefits to the notorious mutant group.
However, more of a point of view, is a resistance to mutants! At the last hearing, Congressman Kelly had already proposed to implement a mutant registration bill so that all people in the country knew what mutants could do, what they would do, and what they wanted to do! However, since the last Liberty Island incident, Congressman Kelly seems to have changed his mind and no longer supports the mutant registration bill, and he even made it clear in interviews that he does not want to cause a so-called "world war", that is, a head-on conflict between mutants and humans.
But the teachers of the mutant school and Joaquin know that Councilor Kelly is actually dead, and this living Councilor Kelly is actually a demon girl!
Now, with the introduction of Spider-Man vs. Lizardmen last night, there is a resurgence of the registration bill. The theme of Internet users is young people, and most of the young people are radical-minded, for the mutant group, they abuse, insult, even the Spider-Man who saved them last night, it is said that they even organized several groups, which are bound to take off Spider-Man's mask and capture Spider-Man! Let everyone all over the world know who the little spider is and what specific abilities it has! They shouted the same slogan: "The public has the right to know!" ”
"But the little spider has privacy." Joaquin frowned, slid the mouse wheel, and looked at the various reviews on the Internet, Magneto is now in a plastic prison, and there is no one to lead the evil people of the Brotherhood, if the situation escalates further, then I really don't know how to end!
"Joaquin, it's time for you to go back to school." Suddenly, a palm rested on Joaquin's head and rubbed it gently.
"Huh? Now? Joaquin turned back in surprise to see Anne looking at her expressionlessly, and behind her, Isabel was already dressed and carrying a travel bag.
"Mom, it's only morning, I've just gotten up! Don't drive me away like this" Joaquin wailed, he didn't even eat, had he ever seen such a ruthless mother? Joaquin looked at the news depressedly, and unexpectedly, as soon as he refreshed it, the entire interface changed! The huge title is too big to even think about!
"The president was assassinated!?" Joaquin was stunned for a moment, and clicked the mouse, only to find that it was a video.
"Explosive news! Washington Live Report! The White House was attacked, the president's office was attacked, the president and vice president were unharmed, the casualties are currently being counted, and sources point out that it could have been done by one mutant, or multiple mutants! ”
"Mutants? Assault on the White House? Isabel pursed her lips, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
"Can't you see? What you did with Peter Parker last night is clearly fueled by someone pushing the mutant registration bill again. And this attack on the president has further aggravated the situation, and it's time for you to go back to school, my dear. And, given all the things you've done, I think it's a good idea to go back to school and have the professor take care of you. Anne was unmoved, her palm was forceful, and she ravaged Joakin's hair fiercely, rubbing the black hair into a mess, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction.
"As you wish, ma'am!" Joaquin shrugged helplessly and got up to look for clothes.
*****
In the afternoon, in the mutant school.
"In my opinion, this is what Magneto did." Laser-eyed Scott stood in front of the window, one hand propped up on the window frame, and there was a hint of affirmation in his tone.
Unexpectedly, the first person to refute him was Phoenix Jean Gray: "I don't think it's him, Scott." ”
"Hmm." Sitting in a wheelchair, Professor X looked thoughtful in his deep eyes and spoke slowly, "While Eric (Magneto) could manipulate these things from a plastic prison like this, there is no point in doing so. And it only gets in the way of his goal of making mutants thrive. ”
"Merit theory, you say? The Evolutionary Theory of Survival of the Fittest? Scott returned to the couch, also frowning in thought.
"That's right, if Eric hadn't changed his mind." The professor nodded affirmatively.
Storm Girl Auroro leaned against the window and analyzed silently: "I think what the professor said is good, if you do this, the government will naturally propose it again, the mutant registration bill, the matter of those two little spiders has already made a lot of noise, and now it has added such a fire." ”
"Maybe worse!" The professor shook his head helplessly, "The president can declare martial law and throw all the mutants in prison." ”
The professor's words startled several teachers, and Jean Grey hurriedly asked, "Do you think the assassins are mutants in general?" ”
"I'm sure about mutants. And it should be alone! I've tracked him with a brainwave booster, but his movements are so erratic that even the brainwave booster can't track him. ”
"You mean teleporting like Joaquin?" Scott's heart moved, and he made a slight guess.
"Scott!" Storm Lady Auroro cried out almost immediately, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.
"I'm just talking about that ability." Scott spread his hands and said no more.
After a moment of silence, the professor continued, "After I have secured my target, Storm Girl, Jean, you go and get him back." ”
At the same time, inside the White House, the president's office.
A middle-aged and elderly man of medium stature and slightly fat carefully observed the scene of the crime.
The president paced back and forth, not showing the slightest hint of the president.
"It's a thrill, Mr. President." The man observed the dagger mark left on the president's desk, and his tone was vaguely adding fuel to the fire.
"I thought you were here to talk to me about the school reform plan?" The president picked up a bottle of champagne and poured it into his glass.
"Mr. President, you have such a good sense of humor."
While the two were talking, "Congressman Kelly" walked in and shook the president's hand in a friendly manner.
"Councilor Kelly, this is Colonel William Stryker!" "Ever since I took office, mutants have been in charge of his department. ”
Stryker looked at Councillor Kelly like a falcon and asked, "You've always been a big fan of the mutant registration bill, but it looks like your attitude has changed." ”
Councilor Kelly smiled elegantly and nodded slightly, "For the sake of the big picture." ”
"Oh, really?" Colonel Stryker put a copy of the text in his arms on the table, with a hint of sternness in his tone, "We have gathered some evidence, a training facility in the northern suburbs of New York that specializes in training mutants!" ”
Somewhat surprised, the president picked up a stack of documents on the table: "Are your sources reliable?" ”
"Of course." Stryker placed another picture on the table.
"What is this?"
"Flying machines."
"What kind of flying machine?"
"We don't know." The corners of Colonel Stryker's mouth lifted slightly, "But it can take off from under the basketball court"
Hearing this, the president's face finally changed. Combined with the mutant assassination incident that I just experienced this morning, and the fierce contradictions between mutants and humans all the time. The president hesitated for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Colonel Stryker, you have the right to search, detain, and interrogate, but don't let me see the corpses of mutant children being indiscriminately killed on the six o'clock news!" ”
The president was greeted by an appreciative smile from Colonel Stryker.
