Chapter 37: The Talk Show Begins

Two hours later, the show officially began.

"Three, two, one. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's Tom talk show! I'm the host......"

At this point, Tom Colkillan handed his microphone forward, and the people in the audience also cooperated and said loudly.

"Tom!"

"It's a hot summer, it's a very irritable weather, but don't let the weather affect your good mood. Now, let's get down to business today! ”

Tom sat down on the L-shaped couch that the props team had prepared, and recounted according to the previous script.

"New York is a big city with a high standard of living, and you need to work hard to live here. Housing loans, car loans and various expenses are overwhelming! Under such pressure, it is inevitable that some people will take risks and embark on the road of crime. ”

On the stage, Tom talked about it, and Emma, who was next to Wang Dali, tapped his waist. At the same time, a spiritual power wanted to connect into his brain.

"The man in the baseball cap in the fourth column of the penultimate row in the back left of you shows a strong desire to attack. I hacked into his mind and found that he had a gun, ready to shoot the three little ones when they came on the field. ”

"Do you know how he got his gun in?"

Wang Dali thought in his own mind.

Because of Tony Stark's presence, and the fact that it was mutants who were invited as guests this time, everyone who entered the venue needed to go through a metal detector to prevent anyone from entering with a murder weapon.

Emma looked at Tom on the stage with a smile on her face, as if listening to him carefully, and replied vigorously to Wang.

"I checked his memory, it was yesterday that he sneaked in and hid the gun under the seat."

"So, it's just his personal behavior?"

"At least that's what I found."

After thinking for a few seconds, Wang Dali said to Emma.

"Control him first and let the show continue. Wait until I tell him to shoot him. ”

At the end of a brief opening of a few minutes, Tom reached out and pointed behind the curtain.

"So, please bring out our three special guests tonight, Paro, Burnman, Bobby the Iceman, and Steelus Pete!"

Taking the microphone from the staff behind the scenes, three mutants rushed in. At the same time, applause and applause rang out from the audience.

This time the audience will have to fill out a form before they can be selected, and they will only be placed after making sure they have no ill will towards the mutants. Although I know that there will still be an audience that hates and even hates mutants mixed in, you can't find a group of viewers who are all trust, right?

Even if Wang Dali was willing to do so, Tom would not agree.

All three had light makeup on their faces. It's possible that you are naturally beautiful in reality, but in the lens you will become quite unbearable due to lens parameters, lighting, angles, etc. That's why there are so many celebrities who 'have a grudge against the cameraman'.

According to the persona arranged by Wang Dali, John waved generously to the audience below, Bobby smiled at the camera with some restraint, and Pete walked straight to the pale gray cloth sofa as if he didn't see anything.

When he, a strong man with a height of 1.98 meters and a weight of 226 pounds, sat down, the whole sofa sank into it a lot.

"Hey everyone, I'm a fire man, and my ability is to manipulate flames!"

John walked into the studio with a fireball. As he spoke, he opened his palm, orange fireballs bouncing across his five fingers.

"I'm an Iceman."

Bobby also raised his right hand, and the water vapor in the air condensed into ice under his control, and soon turned into a crystal clear six-petal ice lotus flower that refracted colorful light in the light.

This magic trick drew exclamations from many of the audience, and finally the palm-sized lotus flower was placed on the prepared table by Bobby.

"Colossus."

Pete just nodded indifferently at the audience and spat a word out of his mouth. Unlike John and Bobbi before him, he didn't show what he could be.

When the three of them sat down, and when the crowd was quiet, Tom asked them.

"First of all, I have a question for you. I think everyone is curious, how did you discover your abilities? ”

"Every mutant discovers their abilities at a different time, but it's basically in adolescence. My words came at the age of twelve. ”

In front of the camera, John did not have stage fright at all.

"That was when I was in the orphanage. It was cold, and I only had a lighter with a little oil left, and I wanted to use it to light a fire to keep warm. So I thought to myself, if only the fire could be bigger. As a result, the flame in the lighter really swelled with a bang, and finally almost caused a fire. ”

Tom, as the host, raised his eyebrows, and John shrugged. His setting is optimistic and cheerful, just like a friend around him.

"Then I was kicked out of the orphanage, and after a few years on the streets of New York, I was discovered by a professor, and I have been living in the academy ever since."

After John finished speaking, the next one was Poppy. The boy pursed his lips, his eyes a little gloomy, obviously thinking of something unhappy.

"My words are at the age of fourteen. Once I opened the refrigerator, I suddenly found that I had the ability to control the ice. As a result, my parents found out and kicked them out of the house. Luckily, I was quickly discovered by the teachers at the academy and brought back. ”

"Sorry, I don't know ......"

Listening to Bobby's experience, Tom said to him with some guilt.

"It doesn't matter, that was a few years ago."

Bobbi waved her hand and smiled melancholy. This is the image that Wang Dali created for him, a melancholy prince who has a home but can't go back.

Then came Pete.

"I'm Russian and work on a farm there. Because of my strength and ability, the farmer treated me well. I just happened to meet a professor who came to do something, so I was taken back to the academy with my sister. ”

Compared to the first two, Pete still doesn't talk much. His setting is a Russian man who is rough and taciturn on the outside, but in fact he is as careful as a hair and is eager to help others. As the saying goes, there is a tiger in the heart, but it sniffs the rose.

After all three had been introduced, Tom asked.

"I heard you all mention the academy in your introduction? Is that the legendary Xavier Youth Academy for mutants? ”

"That's right."

John nodded.

"Xavier Youth Academy, established by our professor Charles Xavier. The teachers, students, and staff who live there are mutants. ”
