Chapter 1: The Beginning of It All
In a modern British building, a woman with glasses, red dress, and red hair over a shawl is giving a speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, humanity is facing another kind of evolution, mutations that mostly occur during adolescence and are induced by emotional ups and downs."
"Thank you, Miss Grey, very knowledgeable!"
When the woman's speech was finished, a white-haired man with glasses spoke up in a seat closest to the podium: "But your evolution is off topic, that is, is mutants dangerous?" ”
"It's not the right thing you ask!" The woman named Gray made a gesture to justify: "Some people get into accidents when they drive"
"That's why you need a driver's license!" The white-haired glasses replied.
"But survival without a license!" The woman tried to explain: "Congressman, in fact, once mutants reveal their identities, they will be subjected to hostility and violence, and in order to prevent mutants from being hostile, I call for the cancellation of the mutant registration bill." Mutants Reveal Their Identities"
"Revealing your identity?" After talking to the assistant who came in, the white-haired councillor did not give the woman a chance to continue, and said in a loud voice: "Why are you hiding? Why the sneaky? ”
"They weren't hiding!" The woman on the podium shook her head in defense, the smile on her face a little reluctant.
"I know where they're hiding!"
The white-haired congressman stood up from his seat, walked to the empty space under the podium, waved the document brought in by his assistant, and said, "This is a list of known mutants in the United States. ”
"Congressman Kelly"
"There's a girl who can walk through a wall if she sneaks into a bank vault, or the White House, or everybody's home."
Councillor Kelly ignored the words of the woman on the podium, and listened carefully to the people around him: "I have also heard that some mutants can sense and control the human mind, depriving them of their free will, and we have the right to decide whether to accept mutants or stay away from them!" ”
There was a burst of applause around the "pop bang", and the people present obviously agreed with Congressman Kelly's words, and the applause continued for a long time.
Compared with the approval of the people around her, the woman on the podium obviously did not agree, but the performance of the people around her made her speechless.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Congressman Kelly had his finger on the pulse of the lecture and said, "In fact, mutants do exist, and they are among us, so we must find them out and study them thoroughly!" ”
The wave of applause rang out again, with some genuinely feeling that mutants were a threat, some hoping to gain the power of mutants, and some just pure vassals. Either way, Congressman Kelly's goal has been achieved.
The goal was achieved, and Congressman Kelly did not stay any longer, smiling at the people around him and leaving.
The woman on the podium looked at Congressman Kelly who was leaving, then at the clappers, sighed, and gathered up the things on the table.
Councillor Kelly went outside, came to the assistant's car, bowed his head and said a few words, then turned away and did not get into the car.
The assistant looked at the back of Congressman Kelly leaving, and his eyes flashed yellow.
After Congressman Kelly left, he walked about a hundred meters to the street in front of him, and when he saw an extended Lincoln car, he walked over with a smile.
Before Senator Kelly could approach the door, the closed door automatically retracted to the right.
Congressman Kelly was surprised, smiled and got into the car, saying hello to the young man sitting across from him.
"Mr. Rylin!"
The person who was called Ruilin by Congressman Kelly was a young man, with small blond hair that was just over his shoulders, and he actually looked like a three-part Oriental, and he knew that he was Asian at first glance. There are some black whiskers on the chin, and the already handsome appearance adds a bit of maturity and looks even more attractive.
"Mr. Kelly!"
Looking at Congressman Kelly sitting opposite, Kells said hello, pressed the button on the right hand side, closed the door of the RV, and put the computer in his hand on the table next to him, so that both of them could see the picture on the screen.
"The presentation was a success, wasn't it?"
The computer screen was played around Congressman Kelly's previous lecture, and the screen was divided into eight small pieces, each with a different picture.
"Of course, this is all thanks to the information provided by Mr. Ruilin." Councillor Kelly smiled and complimented, then sighed, "If it weren't for the information provided by Mr. Rylin, I really can't believe that there really are mutants in the world, and there are quite a few of them." If there are more mutants, where will the human race live? ”
"Heh" Hearing Councilor Kelly's words, Kells chuckled softly, "Mr. Kelly, you don't really have to worry about the survival of mankind, do you?" ”
"It's hard to say!" Councillor Kelly smiled and spread his hands and said, "If the people need it, I will definitely run for the interests and survival of the people." ”
"Well said, the needs of the people!" Kells clapped lightly twice, and said with a smile: "But what the people need is not necessarily what people like us need. So, we don't need to worry about the living space of humans and mutants. ”
"Of course, you're right!" Congressman Kelly smiled and nodded in agreement, don't look at the fact that he was very anti-mutant in his remarks, and promoted the birth of the mutant registration bill, but that was because it would benefit him. If opposing the mutant registration bill would give him more benefits, he wouldn't mind switching sides. As for what he said before that, as long as he hyped up the misery of mutant children's lives, he had rhetoric, and he would only get more support.
Knowing what kind of person Councilor Kelly was, Kells was not deceived by his appearance, and said bluntly: "Mr. Kelly, the birth of the mutant registration bill is beneficial to both of us, so you need to run for it in many ways." ”
"This is what I should do!" Councillor Kelly leaned back, leaned back on the leather cushion and said, "But the opposition is also very strong, Mr. Rylin, you also need to make a big effort, otherwise it will be difficult for the mutant registration bill to succeed." ”
"I can only help in the dark, and I can't help in the open." Kells shook his head and said, "You know, if I support it explicitly, many people who are hostile to me, even if they don't oppose it in the first place, will oppose it for the sake of opposing me, but it will add more variables, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"I understand this, as long as Mr. Ruilin gives more financial support." Congressman Kelly nodded to understand that he didn't want the other party to use the power of Congress, and if that were the case, although he would not become a small player, his dominant position would definitely be shaken. In terms of interests, naturally there won't be much left.
Hearing that he needed financial support, Kells waved his hand indifferently: "In terms of funds, Mr. Kelly, don't worry, I will ask the secretary to send $100 million to your political donation account later, I believe this money should be enough, right?" ”
"Enough! Totally enough! Hearing that another $100 million had been credited, Congressman Kelly smiled happily. Not only has the support of the people increased dramatically, but it is also beneficial to the presidential campaign coming next year, and even the money has come a lot. Although he cannot use political donations for personal purposes, he can increase the success rate of his presidential campaign, and in the United States, money is everything.
"Enough is good!" The corners of Kells' mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Kelly, then I will wait for your good news." I hope you can bring me good news, you know, I am very anxious about the whereabouts of my 'brother'. ”
"Mr. Relling, don't worry, when the mutant registration bill is passed, you will soon be able to meet him as long as he is still in the United States." Councillor Kelly said with a smile, not caring in the slightest that the other party's brother was a mutant. For him, if it weren't for the support of the people who oppose mutants, he wouldn't have set his sights on mutants at all.
"Thank you!" Kells smiled and thanked him, and the smile on his face grew even stronger.
"Okay, I won't bother Mr. Ruilin, farewell!"
"Mr. Kelly, go slowly!" Kells said as he opened the door of the extended Lincoln.
"You don't have to send each other!" Reaching out to stop Kells, who was about to get up to see him off, Councillor Kelly got out of the car and left alone, walking in the direction he came.
"Councillor Kelly, go slowly!" On the passenger seat of the extended Lincoln stepped a flamboyant blonde woman in a white dress, who smiled and greeted Congressman Kelly, who had just passed by.
"Secretary Lady Emma, it's a pleasure to meet you, we'll talk next time I have time!" Seeing the woman and knowing that the other party was Kells's female secretary, Councillor Kelly smiled and said hello.
"A wretched wretched creature who has been taken advantage of!" Looking at Councillor Kelly slowly moving away, Emma sneered and turned to walk into the car without closing the door.
Looking at the woman sitting opposite, Kells said, "Emma, since you've come back, it means you've found your target, right?" ”
"Yes!" Emma said while holding the red wine and wine glasses in the car, "Because of the approximate address provided by the boss, I was able to find the target so quickly." ”
Hearing the answer he wanted, Kells happily asked, "Where is the target now?" ”
"She's leaving her hometown in a car right now!" Emma poured red wine and said, "The target wants to go to Lorfen City, but I've asked the driver to take her outside the suburbs and stop." If we're going to catch her, it'll be convenient. ”
"Catch her? No! No! No! Kells leaned back, wagging his index finger and said, "I never wanted to catch her, she's just an important bait." ”
"Huh?" Emma took a sip of red wine, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Could it be that your target this time is someone else, and it is very powerful?" ”
"Someone else is for sure, as for whether it is strong or not, you will know soon." Kyles shook his head and pressed a button on his right-hand side.
With the press of the button, the extended Lincoln began to move.
"What, you're going to do it yourself?" Emma put down the wine glass in her hand and frowned slightly.
"That's for sure!" Kells laughed, "It's not that you don't know, my favorite thing is fighting." There are goals that make me happy, and if I don't go there, I won't be working in vain. ”
"I really can't understand that you don't want to enjoy a good life, but you have to fight, and I don't know what you think!" Emma shook her head in disberuance.
"Fighting now is for the enjoyment of the future!" As Kells spoke, he looked at the interior of the car, and the woman opposite. Without great power, or if life is not there, even if you live a life that is unimaginable to ordinary people and have a stunning woman, you will still lose it one day.
"With your strength, is there anyone stronger than you?" Emma shook her head and said noncommittally, "It's true that both Professor X and Magneto are strong, but the former won't take the initiative to attack others, as long as they don't provoke him; Magneto, with your strength, you shouldn't lose to him. ”
"I never deny that I am strong, but I am also never arrogant!" Kells smiled confidently and then asked, "There was a report a few days ago that a city was attacked by a huge green monster, have you read this report?" ”
"Have you seen it, are there any problems?" Emma nodded, leaned forward, turned and sat down next to Kells, and said, "This kind of thing is nothing more than a mutant, or a test specimen from some laboratory. But no matter what it is, I didn't see how strong it was, and I was chased by the army and fled. ”
"That's because you don't know how good he is!" Putting his hand on Emma's shoulder, Kells said solemnly, "If you touch that monster, don't provoke him, or you will die." ”
Seeing Kells say this, Emma couldn't help but be interested, raised her eyebrows and said, "Very powerful? ”
"It's amazing!" Kells nodded back, "In my opinion, his strength will definitely not lose to Magneto, and even stronger is possible." Of course, I haven't played against them, that's just my guess. ”
"That green monster is called Hulk, I prefer to call him Hulk, his body is hard, his strength is strong, and the more angry he is, the stronger he becomes. Fight him, hit him, hurt him, and he will be angry, and then he will become stronger. After being strong to a certain extent, it is naturally not his opponent to fight him. ”
"So strong?!" Emma was a little incredulous, if that was the case, it wasn't that no one was the Hulk's opponent.
As if knowing what a woman thinks, Kells smiled and said, "He is strong, but he is not without weaknesses, at least he doesn't have much intelligence." Of course, this point can't be used as a weakness to deal with him, but as long as he is killed in an instant, he who has not yet transformed into a Hulk and is just an ordinary person, I believe that he can still kill him. ”
Emma couldn't help but ask, "You investigated so clearly, are you trying to find him?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Kells shook his head and said: "I just need to fight, as for what happens to him, I don't care, there is a chance, there is no hurry." At present, it is better to harvest ripe fruits, so as not to be empty. ”
"Whatever you want!" Emma said absently, clearly not interested in the fight.
Kells smiled and turned to look out the window backwards. If it weren't for the fact that fighting was good for his growth, he wouldn't have thought of a way to fight. He is just an ordinary person, in the midst of enjoyment and fighting, if he can, he also wants to choose to enjoy life. But knowing what kind of world this is, he will not let himself indulge in enjoyment until he has great power.
