067 Before the hearing

"The hearing time has not yet arrived, please go through the security process first." Reporters and security personnel were waiting for them outside the hall, and as soon as they saw Eric approaching, they were immediately greeted by someone who tried to approach the target but were separated by security personnel, and they had to make meticulous preparations.

"Ms. McTagort can stay, this ...... Sir, please retreat to the waiting room, where you can watch live television. The lead security officer kept Hank out and only allowed Eric and Ms. Mora to enter the hearing room.

"It's your security measure, and it looks as thin as paper." Looking down at the restraint suit on his body, Eric said to the man who was tying him with a belt.

It was a young man in his twenties with short eyebrows, a dark complexion that resembled a Mexican, a muscular figure that looked strong and powerful, but his movements were nimble, and in Eric's experience, he was a master of melee combat. The melee master turned a deaf ear to Eric's words, and tied the straps on his restraint suit so tightly that he stopped when he was about to breathe, then he slapped Eric on the head hard, leaned his head over, and said, "You'd better be honest, or you'll look good." ”

"Why not try it now?" Eric said to the malicious eyes, and then kicked him in the back of his knee. When the reporters next to them saw this scene, they were ecstatic and picked up their cameras to capture them.

Before Hank could go away, he shouted angrily at the sight of this scene, and the guards rushed up to stop him, and Lady Mora hurriedly came to persuade him.

"I know you're a mutant, don't be presumptuous." The man in the back walked up to Eric, a rather handsome white young man with a manner as bad as his colleague. "In my opinion, you are a bunch of capable streams. Hooligans, while we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan at the risk of our lives, you enjoy the peace that your country brings you, but you stay behind and bully civilians. Don't let me get your handle, or I'll make you look good. The young man said aggressively as he looked at Eric.

"By you?" Eric smiled slightly sarcastically. Since he came into the world, the ordinary people he has seen have been either indifferent passers-by or grateful recipients, and the only ones who have been as unfriendly as these security personnel are Stryker's men in the past.

If these guys dared to do this in the other world, Eric would have made them regret their mistakes in the first place, but now they don't have to deal with these little people.

"Look over there." The young man pointed out to him, and not far away, a small group of soldiers with large-caliber guns of transparent materials and on full alert were looking over in this direction.

"If you dare to act rashly, they will knock out your dog brain at any time." The young man threatened.

"I like your confidence." Eric laughed. "Now fulfill your mission, GI. I can't wait to go inside and visit. ”

The young man looked at him for a few seconds, looked away, picked up the communicator from his waist and said a few words, and led Eric into the hearing room.

It is a hall of less than 2,000 square feet, with a very simple furnishings, with a few wooden tables in the middle of the hall around which attendees can talk freely, and chairs a few feet away from the tables where invitees can sit and watch, these tables and chairs alone take up most of the space, and the open space near the entrance is for the media, where the photographers will place their equipment, and through their operation, the movement in the hall will be transmitted to all the audience.

Nothing is unremarkable, with no cutting-edge equipment or expensive and luxurious finishes, and the only thing special is Eric's dedicated chairs.

The reason why it is special is that it is made of different materials. Perhaps in order to prevent Eric's power from working, the staff not only took away all the metal products in the hall, but also ordered a stone chair with a height of nearly one meter out of nowhere, which is really an exaggeration to say that it is a chair, because it looks like a large stone that has not been processed much. There were no armrests, only a few holes that had been chiseled through the sides, and the back of the chair was low, just reaching Eric's waist.

Looking at this stone chair with black and white patterns all over the surface and a simple shape, Eric couldn't help but walk over and knock on it.

The echo is dull, and the chair is solid.

"What a fat guy, does it have two thousand pounds?" Eric sighed in admiration. "Where did you dig it up, a quarry in the Alaskan wastelands, or a pyramid tomb for the Pharaohs?"

He looked at the few thin trails that had been dragged under the chair, and couldn't help but wonder how the staff of the inverted frieze had brought it in, and whether it had hit anyone's toe in the process of transporting it. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

The young man answered his question.

"I don't care where it came from, I just know that you're going to stay on it for the whole hearing, tied up like a monkey." When the young man finished speaking, he ordered, "Now, sit down for me." ”

He beckoned his companion to carry Eric to the chair, and then another round of bondage until Eric was wrapped in polymer fibers like a silkworm.

"Now, wait for the lawmakers to be there." The young man patted Eric on the face and stepped aside.

Eric didn't bother to pay attention to him, and he began to close his eyes and wait for the hearing to begin.

The back half of the hearing hall is the rest room, which is comfortably and relaxed, completely different from the humble front, where some big names are sitting and enjoying a fragrant coffee, waiting for the hearing time to begin.

"Are you going to start?" A middle-aged fat man with black-rimmed glasses asks one of them. "Shall we go out and see what we want?"

It was a neat old man with his head combed back, although his face had a faint age spot, but he was still in good spirits, his hands and feet looked majestic and confident, and his eyes were bright. That man was one of Capitol Hill's biggest figures, Senator Bill Stone, chairman of the Hearing Committee.

"Look at what, beast?" Senator Bill said disdainfully when he heard the fat man's words. "I thought you'd dispelled your curiosity while you're in school, Xiuken."

The fat man Huken was a good-natured man, and after listening to Bill's words, he moved his fat body and said, "But the scheduled time has passed, and now the reporter is outside." ”

Bill waved his hand to stop Huken from continuing.

"Do you watch an opera?" He asked.

"Don't watch it", Xiuken was puzzled: "But what does this have to do with opera?" ”

"You can learn a lot from opera." Senator Bill put down his glass and looked around at the crowd.

"When the curtain opens, the tricks and supporting characters always appear first, and they play on the stage, showing their acting skills to the fullest, confusing the audience in their performances, as if they are the masters of the stage."

Then in the midst of the commotion, the protagonist appeared. As soon as he appeared, the spotlights hit him one after another, and he immediately took away the brilliance of the others, and calmly walked to the center in the middle of the crowd. At this time, it is needless to say that the audience will realize that his status is different, so they hold their breath and wait for him to lead the play to the most **. ”

When he fulfilled people's expectations, everyone did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, and they threw praise out wildly in the audience, for fear that their enthusiasm would not be as grand as the grandeur of others, and he would look like a layman. At this point, people completely ignore the characters in the opening scene, as if their hard work is completely unimportant. ”

"It's not that the audience is ungrateful, but it reveals a simple truth, which is that the real big people always have to come out after a long time. This is not the arrogance and conceit of the big people, but the people's inner demands of this. People don't need a wall grass to ride on their heads to make a splash, they need a shepherd, even if he seems stern and rigid, but can be convinced. ”

Huken was stunned by the senator's argument, and after pondering for a moment and feeling that it was indeed reasonable, he sighed heartily: "No wonder you have always held the Senator's seat, while I am in the House of Representatives. ”

"There are some differences between the Senate and the House of Representatives, and you have to pay attention to that before you can go further." Bill laughed smugly, he had a very close relationship with the fat man Huken, and the relationship between the two of them was like father and son and like brother.

"I'll take care of it, brother-in-law." Xiuken should be reconciled.

Bill looked up at the clock, a quarter of an hour had passed beyond the scheduled time, and he began to move his legs to get to his feet.

"Let's go, let's go out and see if the guards are really as good as they say, I don't want these beasts to get provoked by the harsh questions and hurt people at my hearing." He stood up and led the way out of the lounge into the corridor that led to the hall.

"It's not that an exaggeration, most of the newspaper reports are fictional, my father had contact with them, and not all of these guys are very bad-tempered." The fat man followed closely behind the chairman of the hearing and explained to him in passing.

The senator suddenly stopped, his face sank, and sternly admonished the fat man: "Be wary of your thoughts, Louie. Your sister has asked me many times to remind you not to follow your father's path. If he hadn't been too curious and gave up his position as a diplomat and went to cIa, he wouldn't have lost his life in 1962. ”

He criticized fiercely, reprimanding Xiuken to the core, and seeing his wife's most beloved brother become flustered, he slowed down his tone and said, "I don't have prejudices about mutants because of this, that's why Congress appointed me as chairman of the hearing, but I will never allow you to come into contact with dangerous people." ”

Xiuken nodded repeatedly, and the others also spoke for him, and the senator let him go when he saw this scene.

"Are all the reporters arranged?" A staff member came over from outside, who was the senator's personal aide, and saw him and the senator asked.

"It's arranged, and I say hello to the press, they won't be too keen on hyping up the matter, but they won't give up the right to interview either." The assistant hurriedly replied.

"That's enough." The senator said, then turned back and said, "Now, let's get on the show." ”
