Bucky and Jean arrived not too late, arriving at the Capitol more than ten minutes early, but when they entered the large conference hall, it was almost full, and the originally noisy conference hall quickly fell silent after Bucky and Jean entered.

Bucky didn't care how others behaved, but it was obviously the first time that Jean had experienced such a scene, and the fact that representatives from all walks of life saluted her really made Jean a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Qin's face was different, he patted her shoulder with a smile, encouraged her with his eyes, and then pulled Qin, swaggering to the seat with his name tag, ignoring the eyes of others.

At ten o'clock, the hearing began as scheduled, which was related to vital interests, and Jean, as a representative of mutants, took the lead in explaining the process of the formation of the mutant group in a scientific way to everyone present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing another stage of human evolution."

Standing on the podium, Qin put aside all her nervousness, and she was already not weaker than the doctoral level of a famous university in biology, so she didn't need any speeches at all, so she talked about it eloquently: "Variants mostly occur in adolescence, because of emotional ups and downs, and the X gene hidden in the body changes from recessive to dominant, and begins to show its own unique side." Essentially, mutants are just gifted human beings, just as some people are born with good memories and some people are born with good voices, and they ...... mutants."

Before Jean could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an arrogant voice.

"Thank you, Miss Jean Grey, for giving us a lecture on biology, but you seem to be off track."

The person who spoke was none other than Councillor Kelly, who sat at the front and said impatiently, "Miss Jean Grey, our topic today is about the Mutant Registration Act, not the origin of mutants. Can you please get straight to the point and tell us, are mutants dangerous? ”

"Yes, mutants are dangerous."

Jean actually gave an affirmative answer to this tricky question, which not only caused an uproar for everyone present, but even Councillor Kelly was a little surprised, he had prepared a lot of arguments to prove the danger of mutants, but he didn't expect Jean to take the initiative to admit it.

However, Jean had obviously not finished speaking, only to see her show a confident smile and ask Parliamentarian Kelly: "Councillor, I also have a question, is it dangerous for a person who owns a firearm to be forcibly evicted from his home while the whole society is watching from the sidelines?" ”

Councillor Kelly was asked at once, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Jean's meaning is already very obvious, mutants are dangerous because someone wants to deprive them of hope to live, and a group of military generals, led by Admiral Carol, have just done this not long ago.

At this time, a middle-aged big belly beside Councilor Kelly said in a deep voice: "So, although our country does not ban guns, every firearm sold has been registered!" ”

This person bit the word "registration" very hard, and suddenly Councilor Kelly came to his senses, stood up, and said arrogantly: "That's right, dangerous goods like guns are registered, and mutants also need this!" ”

This inappropriate jasper immediately made Qin's face a little ugly, and he said coldly, "Are you comparing mutants to dangerous goods?" I can't think it's racism! ”

This is a countermeasure discussed by Bucky and Jean before coming to the hearing, if he encounters a situation where he is asked by the other party for a while, he will play the "racial discrimination" card, Mr. President made such an impassioned TV speech, if you don't make good use of it, how can you be worthy of his kindness!

Seeing that Qin didn't answer his own question, but instead pulled the topic to racial discrimination, Congressman Kelly almost died of anger, now his heart is full of resentment towards Mr. President, isn't it just to appease those ignorant people who have no opinions, only know how to follow the trend, why do you have to bring out the crime of racial discrimination, you know, that is the most despised crime in the United States!

Gritting his teeth, Councillor Kelly simply pretended not to hear Jean's words, and continued to ask, "Miss Jean Grey, since mutants are dangerous, do you think we should enforce the Mutant Registration Act?" ”

"Ahem! Ahem......"

Just as Congressman Kelly was aggressively questioning Jean, Bucky let out a funny coughing sound.

"Mr. Barnes, this is the Capitol, and this is a very solemn hearing, please watch your actions!" Seeing that his momentum was completely shattered by Bucky's cough, Councillor Kelly said loudly in anger.

Bucky smiled and didn't bother with Congressman Kelly at all, but bowed slightly to several high-ranking officials on the rostrum, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm not in good health these days, I occasionally feel cold, because of my cough and disrupted the process of the hearing, I'm very sorry." ”

Nonsense!

At this time, not only Congressman Kelly had this idea in his heart, but even several high-ranking officials on the rostrum and those present who knew more or less about Bucky had such a thought in their hearts: "You are almost invincible, and you can still feel the wind and cold occasionally, and deceive ghosts!" ”

In response to Bucky's remarks, the senior officials on the rostrum could only twitch the corners of their mouths, waved their hands, and no longer paid attention to Bucky, but motioned to Congressman Kelly to continue.

"As we all know, in order to prevent firearms from causing unnecessary harm to society, we have implemented registration controls on all firearms, and what can we do with a mutant who is not even afraid of firearms and whose destructive power is even more amazing?" Councilor Kelly seemed to have regained the idea of the speech, and completely regarded the debate with Jean as a personal show, and said impassionedly: "What's more, the danger of mutants is far beyond the comparison of firearms!" There's a girl, she's able to get through walls, how much damage would it take if she sneaked into a bank's vault, what if she sneaked into the White House, or your home? I've also heard that some mutants can sense your brains, read your memories, and even control your behavior, just think about it, what a terrifying thing to do! ”

Obviously, these people who participated in the hearing did not know much about the abilities of mutants, and their understanding of mutants was still limited to the actual combat ability of mutants, and they did not know about the ability to penetrate walls or telepathy. Congressman Kelly's words sparked a whispered discussion, and the fear of the unknown made these people begin to feel as if the Mutant Registration Act was really a bill that could protect themselves to some extent.

"Ahem! Ahem......"

At that moment, Bucky's strange cough rang out again.

"Mr. Barnes, if you need it, I can provide you with lozenges to relieve the discomfort in your throat!" Congressman Kelly said angrily.

"You misunderstood, Congressman Kelly, I don't have any discomfort in my throat, I just have a question for you."

"What's the problem?"

A weird smile appeared on Bucky's face, he looked at Councillor Kelly, and asked softly, "May I ask Mr. Councillor, have you registered yourself?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Mr. Councillor, as a person who may have committed the crime of rape, did you not register yourself?" Bucky looked puzzled and asked, "Didn't you hand over your fingerprints, DNA samples, and other physical information to the police station?" That's too bad, in case there's a rape case, Congressman Kelly, you're a big suspect, huh? ”

"You! What nonsense are you talking about! Bastard, you have to formally apologize to me for your words! Congressman Kelly stood up and pointed at Bucky's hand trembling a little, he had never been so vilified, he had seen a reporter turn the camera on him, if he couldn't get Bucky to apologize to him in public at this time, then after today, he would be the laughing stock of the whole United States.

"Apologize? Am I wrong? Councillor Kelly, aren't you a man? You know, as a man, you have the physical characteristics of a man, you have the ability to rape women, according to you, you need to register if you have this ability, shouldn't you take the lead yourself? ”

As Bucky's words ended, there was silence at first, and then a burst of laughter, even if this was the solemn Capitol, after listening to Bucky's sophistry, no one could hold back their laughter.

Of course, this requires the removal of Congressman Kelly, whose entire face has swelled into the color of pork liver.

After a long while, an official on the rostrum finally resisted his urge to laugh and whispered a few quiets before the whole venue gradually quieted down.

"Barnes, can you only rely on such vicious words to attack me personally? No matter what despicable means you use to attack me, I will not give up my opinion, a dangerous race like mutants must be registered, their fingerprints, DNA and other physical characteristics must be stored in the database, and their abilities must be recorded exactly as they are! ”

"Despicable? Viciousness? ”

Bucky slapped the table in front of him, only to hear a crisp "click", the whole table broke open from the middle, and when everyone looked at Bucky again, the playful smile just now was completely gone, leaving only a solemn and angry face.

"Kelly, you say I'm vicious and despicable, I think the real vicious person is you, and the person who has been playing despicable means is still you!" Bucky pointed at Councillor Kelly, turned and glanced around the chamber, and everyone felt as if the air had frozen in an instant. After a few seconds, Bucky gradually retracted his fierce gaze and said: "I know the girl you said can pass through the wall, she is not yet twelve years old this year, she is at the age of innocence, Congressman Kelly, it is you who are vicious people, who impose all vicious conjectures on such a girl, what kind of impact this will have on her future, have you ever thought about it!" ”

"And the mutants you said can control people's minds, I also know, it is true that as you said, Professor X can control the behavior of others, and it can even be said that through some auxiliary means, Professor X can control the behavior of any person on this planet." Saying this, Bucky glanced at Councillor Kelly with disdain, and continued, "But do you know why such a powerful mutant exists, and there is a despicable clown like you?" Because Professor X never abuses his abilities, otherwise, do you think that those guys in the military can really hide from Professor X and successfully create a sentry robot? Do you think you'll ever get a chance to make a big splash here? ”

Saying that, Bucky had already walked to the front of the rostrum, standing here facing more than a hundred people who were in confusion below, and said loudly: "Others think that I am also a mutant, so I will stand on the position of a mutant to speak for them, but this is not the case, I am not a mutant, I don't have X gene in my body, strictly speaking, I am an ordinary person." ”

Bucky's words once again caused a whisper below, people who knew Bucky's abilities had always treated him as a mutant, and he didn't want Bucky to deny his mutant identity in public today.

"On this point, you don't need to doubt that there is now a complete technical system for the detection of X-gene, and any large hospital can do this, I won't lie to you. Some people may ask me why, as an ordinary person, I have always spoken for mutants, I can touch my conscience and say that I am not speaking for mutants, but for justice and justice! ”

At this time, Qin, who had not spoken for a long time, also stood up and said: "There is one thing you need to know, the 20th century and the future 21st century will be an era of rapid growth in the number of mutants, it may be that the use of nuclear energy has accelerated the rate of mutation of genes in our bodies, or it may be some other reason, but one thing is certain, the number of mutants is increasing, and the number of people with recessive X genes is also increasing, even if you are not mutants, But no one can guarantee that you do not have the recessive X gene in your body, and there is no guarantee that your offspring will not appear mutants, which is definitely not alarmist! Think about it, when your descendants line up to register all their privacy in shame, will you regret passing the Mutant Registration Act today! ”

"There are people persecuting mutants today, and you don't stand up and speak for them, and when this persecution is imposed on your children and grandchildren tomorrow, the mutants who can speak for them have all died today." Qin had tears in her eyes and said with emotion.

Councillor Kelly's face turned from gloomy to pale under Bucky's words, and although the hearing was not over yet, he had already seen the final result.
