Chapter XXXVIII

Like the audience, Tom also showed a surprised expression at the right time. Although many people present had heard about the X Academy and knew that there was such a mutant academy, this was the first time that it had been confirmed in public.

"Can you tell us about where this mysterious Hogwarts-like house is?"

Under the camera, Tom asked the three curiously. This is not entirely arranged by the script, and he himself has certain ideas.

Because Tom's niece is a mutant, that's why he really agreed to let mutants participate in Tom's talk show this time.

"Sorry, this can't."

Bobby shook her head and said to Tom apologetically.

"Without the professor's permission, we don't have a good time divulging about the academy. You know, we mutants are in an awkward position. If the location of the academy is exposed, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on the younger students. ”

"Well, that's understandable."

Tom nodded helplessly, and then asked Pete a special question.

"Well, well, Mr. Pitt, the news about you has spread all over the Internet, and even many newspapers and media outlets. Can you tell us about that? ”

Pete picked up the microphone and paused, then said in a deep tone.

"I think the fact that I'm sitting here instead of the police station at this time is the best illustration of this."

"Can you talk to us?"

The protagonist of this episode of Tom's talk show is obviously not Tom, but the invited mutant guest. Tom just had to ask questions, and ask and ask.

After two or three seconds, Pete raised the microphone again.

"He wanted to rob me."

"Robbery...... You? ”

Tom's eyes widened at Pete, who was almost as tall as a normal person standing and whose arms were as thick as his thighs.

"IMHO. Judging by your physique, even if I am a robber, I will not choose to rob you. ”

"At that time, his face was flushed and his expression was excited, as if he had just taken the medicine, and he still had a gun in his hand."

Pete calmly explained in a deep voice, with some incomprehensible complaints.

"A lot of people are afraid of us, but in fact, most mutants are not as terrible as ordinary people think. There is a classmate in the academy whose ability is to turn into a cat. Except for allergy sufferers, would the average person be afraid of cats? ”

"But there are also some mutants whose abilities are dangerous, right? Like you guys. ”

Tom lowered his head slightly and lowered the corners of his eyes, which psychologically can give people a sense of tension and oppression.

"We ......"

"Do it."

John was just about to speak, when Wang Dali prompted the White Queen. Emma immediately started to do it.

Under the White Queen's interference, the white man behind her quickly fell into a state of rage, his heart filled with anger towards the mutant, as if a mutant had put a forgiveness cap on him.

He jumped out of the crowd, pulled his pistol from his waist to the horrified eyes of the crowd around him, and shouted at Bobby on stage.

"Die, you monsters!"

Bang bang

As soon as the opponent pulled out his firearms, Poppy immediately erected a thick wall of ice in front of the stage. All five bullets were shallow or deep embedded in the ice wall, blasting out pieces of ice and small Xiaoice in one place.

"Ahh!!!h

"Oh my God!"

"Hell!"

When the shots rang out, the entire studio was in chaos, people screamed and ran, and almost had a stampede. Stark's guards tried to shoot the man with their guns, but the chaotic crowd completely blocked their view.

Pete instantly transforms into an iron giant, and with a thud shatters the wall of ice that Poppy had just created. He reached out and grabbed the small pistol with the big slap of his fan, squishing its chamber hard.

But the owner of the pistol didn't seem to realize this, and he pressed the trigger in fear as he saw Pete rush like a monster.

There was a thud, and the pistol with the closed barrel exploded.

"Ahh

The shattered pistol blew his hands all over the place, and then Pete twisted his backhand and pressed him to the ground.

It was only then that Stark's bodyguards struggled through the crowd and handcuffed the man.

The cameraman on the side ran away, but the camera that was fixed was faithfully recording it. Because it was live, the adrenaline-pumping scene was quickly transmitted via satellite to every TV watching the show.

When he saw someone shooting, the on-site director was frightened and immediately ran out, and did not cut off the live broadcast signal at all. Some people in front of the TV were worried about the audience, some people immediately picked up their mobile phones and dialed 911, and some people frowned and said nothing.

At this time, only a dozen seconds had passed from the time the man fired the gun to the time he was subdued. The spectators, who found that the man had been controlled, stopped running away, picked up their mobile phones one by one and began to take pictures, which were immediately uploaded to their Facebook and Weibo.

"Guys, it's all right! Audience friends, because of unexpected reasons, this time Tom's talk show is here, let's see you next time? ”

After saying this, Tom, who realized that the matter was over before he could react, pressed his violently beating heart and reached out to turn off the live broadcast.

"My God, I've hosted more than two hundred shows in five years, but I promise it's the most exciting."

"I think you can go and apply for a world record, the first talk show in America where there was a shooting."

Compared to Tom, Tony Stark, who sat in the front two rows of the man with the gun, was very calm, even more so than his own bodyguard, after all, the pistol was not a threat to him.

"No, this world record is already there."

Taking the opportunity to talk to Tony, Tom is also slowly adjusting his breathing and heartbeat.

"I've also checked this one out of purpose. In a talk show 25 years ago, the same man was shot. It's just that unfortunately the host and guests at that time were shot six times and died on the spot. I just didn't expect that I would have this experience. ”

This happens, and Bobbie, John, and Pete have to stay and wait for the police, and Tom can't escape as the host. As the promoter of this matter, Wang Dali took Mindy, Little Naughty and Catherine, who felt very excited, out of the studio, and met Emma, who ran out early in the morning pretending to be an ordinary person.

Before leaving, Tony handed Tom a business card and turned away.

"You can call me before the next show, but I don't necessarily have time."

"Thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Stark."

Looking at Tony's departing figure, Tom laughed and said loudly. This wave is not a loss.
