Through nearly two hours of solitude with the other party, Grant confirmed that this Theron was not the Theron he remembered. Although they have the same appearance and ability, even the situation in the early years is very similar. But whether it's temperament or habits, the difference between the two is a bit far.

One thing is worth noting, though. Theron in Grant's original plane was ostracized, verbally abused, and even bullied by other children from an early age, until he was taken away by a widowed old woman at the age of twelve. And in the current time and space, it is still rejection, abuse and bullying, but it is not the widowed old woman who took her away, but the sister in her mouth.

In addition to this, Grant also knocked out some other information. For example, Jean Grey, who should have been brought into X Academy by Professor X, also changed the trajectory of history under the intervention of the ancient one. However, the ancient one here is only one of the variables, and the one who really took away Jean Grey, who was still young back then, was the sister in Theron's mouth!

Unfortunately, Theron noticed it later, and did not continue, but glared at him fiercely, warning him not to do it again. Otherwise, Grant would have been able to pull out more information. However, from Theron's words, Grant still speculated a lot of things. For example, that sister is not only the head of F&P, but also its founder. In addition, that sister has lived for a long time, but her physical appearance is still young.

It's just that in the end, Grant still has no clue about the so-called "qualifications", and he doesn't know why the mysterious man is eyeing him. In addition, Grant also pretended to inadvertently mention the names of Nadimu and Hawke in front of Theron. And Theron was confused by this, as if he had never heard of it before.

With Grant's expertise and many years of experience, it is natural to see that Theron is not pretending.

Although he was still a little uneasy about F&P and the leader and founder, he at least confirmed Theron's situation. This kind of harvest is still more satisfying for Grant. Then it was established, and he went back to his room for a good night's sleep, waiting to see the next day's excitement.

The next day. The remaining four round table seats will attract hosts. Those power groups have been busy for nearly thirty hours, and then they will know whether it is worth it to do so much.

From the morning, an oppressive atmosphere begins to spread from the dining area on the upper three floors.

Even if there was not much interaction between those small power groups, they would nod to each other and say hello or something when they met. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are no exception. But now, although there are still greetings, there are only words and swords mixed in. Except for "Say Hello". There is also a sparkling eye exchange. That's not love, it's scrutiny and hostility. And in addition to these, more people ignore each other and leave by mistake.

The situation of harmony and unity that had been achieved in the previous 30-odd hours because of all kinds of co-optation and curry favor dissipated strangely after only one night.

This atmosphere is not only enveloped by the power groups involved in the competition, but also the small forces that have no intention of participating. In the big forces tear each other either audibly or silently. Forced to hit, those who openly stand in line are naturally one side of heaven and one side of hell. And those who plan to be alone are even worse, and neither side is pleased. As there is a profound saying in the workplace - no enemies means no friends.

The same description applies to the following layers. There are always people who think they are on a big boat. Sneering at other people. There will also be some people who can't help but stand up and scold back. As a result, the dining area belonging to the lone rangers on the lower floors is even more lively than the upper three floors. This was a surprise.

As time passed, more than 1,000 people entered the venue one after another. The results are about to be revealed.

"I believe many people are waiting for this moment." On the podium, Jean Grey smiled and said, "Eleven o'clock last night was the deadline for voting. All the ballots were then sealed and are now in front of everyone. ”

She gestured to the glass boxes on the round table. Looking through the outer wall, you can see the ballot papers inside that will determine the outcome.

"For reasons of impartiality and openness, we had planned to use electronic counting. The real-time situation is accurate to each ticket, and it is displayed in front of everyone through projection. At this, Jean Grae paused. However, considering that doing so may exaggerate or belittle the influence of certain power groups, and have an unnecessary impact on the formation of coalition forces and the division of functions in the future, we have changed our minds. ”

"We will draw 18 friends from the audience and divide them into six groups to count the votes in front of everyone, and there will be no communication with each other. Then the results of the vote count will be handed over to the professor, the captain, and me, and the three of us will summarize them together. and announced. ”

"If there are no objections, the lottery of eighteen tellers will now begin. To be fair, these eighteen will be drawn from among friends who come in their personal capacity. ”

Of course, it is impossible to go without objections. There is no doubt that the real-time publication of electronic counting is the most impartial solution. But it is true, as Jean Grey said, that the most just is not the most suitable.

It's like the U.S. presidential election. Coming and going is just two politics. The party, and whether it is defeat or victory, they can exert their energy in their respective posts. And for this meeting, things are different. This time, there are many "politicians" who are running for election. party". And they all have to bear certain responsibilities in the next war, the most basic is to lead some of the lone wanderers to fight. If the results of the vote count are announced in real time, the forces that have won the most votes will naturally have nothing, and the prestige and influence of the bad ones will decline. If you can't subdue your subordinates at that time, something will go wrong. And if something goes wrong on the battlefield, it may affect more than just a squad......

The most important reason is to take into account the feelings of those big power groups. This time, the ballot paper was filled out in a way that did not just write the name of a faction. On each ballot paper in several glass boxes on the stage is written the most suitable combination of the four forces in the minds of the voters. For example, some people consider that the Sinister Six and Hydra are not suitable for election at the same time, so they will make a trade-off and switch to other combinations. In this way, the question of cooperation between the four forces after the election is probably considered. However, in this way, the possibility of a hot inversion greatly increases. If that happens, how can you make those big powers embarrassed? And if the real-time announcement of the results is canceled, even if you lose the election, it can be said that there are only a few votes missing......

Under the soft background music, the lampposts were lit up one after another, and eighteen people were quickly chosen. Among them, there is such a vicious guy as the Punisher. God knows how much perseverance it took him to resist not going on a killing spree in this place with a lot of supervillains. In addition to the punisher, there is also the existence of the evil spirit rider among these eighteen people, which makes people have to sigh at this coincidence - they can draw big names at random.

Watching these eighteen people ascend to the rostrum, and then split into six groups to start counting votes, the tense atmosphere in the audience cooled down somewhat. (To be continued......)
