83. The first hints appeared
A black car, escorted by the police force, slowly drove into the tarmac, and a burst of enthusiastic cheers broke out outside the cordon, and the crowd holding signs shouted and shouted, like fanatical star chasers.
However, it was not a glamorous Hollywood star who stepped out of the car, but Senator Kelly, who was a rising political star who became known to the public for proposing a mutant registration bill. The radical attitude towards mutants has won the favor of a group of racists.
"Get the mutants out of America!"
"Freak! Malformation! ”
"Mutants! Demon! ”
Looking at the eye-catching slogan on the sign, Senator Kelly smiled proudly, the mutants hidden in human society, the first public appearance, was during the Cold War period of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States and the Soviet Union two superpowers competed for hegemony, and the shadow of the nuclear crisis shrouded the world, that was the first time that mutants appeared on the world stage and were well known to the world.
It was only at that time that human beings suddenly discovered that there was such a special group hidden around them, who were born with extraordinary strength and all kinds of strange abilities, and had been lurking in human society for a long time, trying to play the role of normal people.
Mutants have long been discriminated against, and with the development of modern society, the views of this group have become more and more polarized, with many elites believing that mutants are a threat to human domination and should be regulated or controlled, and even proposing to eliminate mutants and prevent the crisis from occurring.
Senator Kelly, who has a keen eye, saw an opportunity from this, and became a pioneer against mutants, a fighter for justice who campaigned for human safety, and repeatedly proposed to let mutants reveal their identities, set up a special department to register, monitor their lives, and send dangerous elements to prison immediately!
This radical political proposition won the strong support of one vote, and Senator Kelly, who was originally unknown, became a hot political star and received extremely wide attention.
Waving his hand to the shouting crowd and smiling at the camera camera and saying a few impassioned words, Senator Kelly boarded the long-waiting helicopter under the guidance of his bodyguards.
He is going to attend a high-level summit of heads of state on Liberty Island, where he will discuss the high-profile mutant issue, and if his proposed mutant registration bill is successfully passed, it will undoubtedly be a shining light in Senator Kelly's political career, which means that he can get more support and win a lot of political capital.
"Councillor, are you in favor of gun registration? Mutant kids are even more lethal than guns! Senator Kelly boarded the plane, took his cell phone and began to lobby the other senators, "There is no difference between the two, letting a mutant child into a school is undoubtedly letting a child run rampant with a gun, and you never know if the bullet will come out of the chamber." ”
After speaking impassionedly for more than ten minutes, Senator Kelly hung up the phone and threw the phone to the bodyguard at random, and his smiling face instantly turned cold.
These calculating old foxes all want to be pawns and charge in front, but they hide in the rear, holding a vague position and attitude, and then jump out to make profits.
"At the high-end summit of the world's attention, you may be the biggest winner this time." The bodyguard flattered the way.
"This is America, we reject mutants, they are like time bombs, they threaten the stability of society, so I advocate locking them all up! This is a war, and this country needs people like me to step up......"
Senator Kelly leaned against the window, looking at the turquoise waters below, and couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't we going to Liberty Island?" ”
When he turned his head again, the tall, muscular bodyguard had transformed into a blue-skinned, red-haired woman—judging by the other's bumpy figure.
The senator was just about to shout loudly, but was kicked in his seat by the other party, and his yellow pupils flashed with hatred, "It's because of people like you that I didn't dare to go to school when I was a child!" ”
A merciless blow knocked Senator Kelly unconscious, and by the time he woke up, he was already in a dark, damp wide cave, with his hands cuffed to a metal chair, and an old man in good spirits walked forward, with a faint pride in his eyebrows, like a king with his head held high.
"Who are you? What about Henry? Senator Kelly asked, horrified.
"He died a long time ago, Councillor, it's all the Demonic Girl who is with you." The old man replied with a bowed head. "She can be like anybody."
"If you hurt me...... This will not do any good, but will prove my claim right. ”
The old man smiled contemptuously, looked down at the trembling senator, and asked, "Are you afraid of God?" This is a strange statement, I think God is the teacher, the light, the wisdom and the comfort of the heart, in fact, what you fear in your heart is - me! We mutants with extraordinary abilities! ”
The old man turned, and with his footsteps, the metal chair on which Senator Kelly was sitting moved slowly, as if pulled by some strange force.
"I'm not surprised, humans have always been afraid of the unfamiliar...... Don't be afraid of God, and don't be afraid of me, and you won't need to be afraid anymore. ”
One by one, the lights inside the cave turned on, and a strange instrument made of metal came into the eyes of the senator, and the old man slowly rose up, his hands on the column, and the two semi-circular arcs of metal above his head seemed to be activated, and spun rapidly.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Senator Kelly's heart grew more and more panicked, and he only then remembered who the old man was, the extremist who believed that mutants were better than humans, and the mutant leader who had the ability to manipulate magnetic fields and control metal.
Eric Lancel!
In the mutant community, they prefer to call him "Magneto", this terrorist who was said to have been imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp since childhood, once assassinated President Kennedy, and even planned a crazy plan to destroy the world and establish a mutant kingdom!
Senator Kelly has seen Magneto's name in many materials, compared to another moderate leader among the mutants, this old man who leads the Brotherhood, has gathered a group of mutants who hate humans around him, and is always plotting to overthrow the rule of the human government and let the mutants take his place!
"To make you one of our kind, Councillor, of course."
Magneto smiled faintly, and the rapidly rotating metal instrument emitted a soft white light, like the rippling light of the water slowly spreading, engulfing Senator Kelly, who was cuffed to the chair.
After a brief moment, the light shrank violently and vanished, and Senator Kelly's eyes were blank, as if he had lost his soul.
The feeble Magneto was helped up to him by the Demonic Girl and said with a sarcastic smile, "Congratulations, Councilor. Be one of us—"
"Proud mutants!"
