Chapter 258: For the sake of the niece
Ymir yawned, his head seemed a little dizzy, he didn't bother to care about other people's lives or deaths, but he also didn't want to become a S.H.I.E.L.D. thug. He was desperately using his brain, calculating the ripple effects of this superhero registration bill once it came into effect.
Councillor Kelly rolled his eyes weakly, took out a thick bag of papers from his briefcase, put it in front of Ymir, and said, "Mr. Imir, as I said, the government has no ill will. This is a list of superheroes in the United States, and we have the identities of nearly 8,000 mutants or abilities. β
Ymir grabbed the bag with quick movements, and he felt that this was much more practical than the draft just now.
He flipped through the information to his own side and read it out loud: "Ymir. Freddy. Longinus, the metropolitan of the diocese of PΓ©rigue, belongs to the archdiocese of Bordeaux in France, is the founder of the superhero organization Watchmen League, and is suspected to have close ties to the church. Possession abilities: invisibility, levitation, telekinesis, Councillor Kelly, what does the question mark behind this mean? β
Councillor Kelly rubbed his hands together and laughed, "To be honest, we don't have a perfect collection of your abilities, and you're one of the most mysterious superheroes. But that's okay, and with a record of all your past experiences, personalities, and family backgrounds, we think you're a good partner to work with. β
"It's a great opportunity, and the president thinks it's a good opportunity to have superheroes come forward and respond to this law before it goes into effect," he said. β
Ymir muttered, "Aha, what do you mean. Magdalina and I should be happy to accept it, right? β
Congressman Kelly shrugged. Excused: "Mr. Ymir. It doesn't really matter to you, you're not the kind of clown who traditionally goes against the government and likes to dress up in fancy clothes. Your family was born very honorably, and yes, your family has been working for the U.S. government for three generations. β
Ymir was taken aback by Congressman Kelly's last words, what does it mean to have worked for three generations? Since Kathleen, counting from her parents, there are only two generations of full counting, can it be said that her grandfather's generation has already begun to work for the US government?
He shook his head. said indifferently: "This can't impress me Councilor Kelly, you have to know that this matter is too big, I am not alone, I have to be responsible for the Watchmen Alliance team, at least, I also need to think about it for a while." β
Councillor Kelly nodded understandingly, "I can understand your concerns, but we don't have much time for you to think about it." Once the bill comes into effect, then in the eyes of the Federation, there are only two kinds of superheroes, one is a collaborator and the other is a traitor. Yes, we will use treason to convict superheroes who refuse to carry out their sentences. β
"Huh. The American convention. Ymir muttered in a low voice because of the special history of the United States. Therefore, most of the bills that can be related to human rights, democracy, and freedom will not be recognized by the people.
There is only one exception, and that is treason, and once it is involved in treason, then the American people will immediately become much more enlightened.
Congressman Kelly said darkly: "Whether you want to cooperate with the federal government or not, please keep this bill confidential. When the bill is made public, you'll know why I'm in such a hurry to come to you. β
Ymir shook his head: "I don't understand, I really don't understand. β
Congressman Kelly sneered: "According to our discussions at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the most optimistic scenario, there will be some superheroes who will protest the implementation of the bill with a negative attitude, and they will not register their status with the government. So, in order to deal with this situation, our secret forces have begun to deploy across the United States to arrest them at any time, including their families. β
Ymir looked at Councillor Kelly deeply, unable to believe that this was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s style of operation: "I really don't know, Nick. How could Fury agree to such an action? In my opinion, it is not wise to go to war with superheroes, they are not criminals, and most of them have saved people, and I have to admit that among these heroes, such as Captain America and Daredevil, I have always respected people"
Councillor Kelly shook his head, unimpressed by Ymir's words: "Yes, it's just a backup, and we don't want him to be a reality." I believe that most people in the United States grew up watching the legend of Captain America, and he is also a hero in my mind. β
"Still, it's my duty, our duty. Although I don't want to say it, even if Captain America refuses to register the bill, it is against the law, and once the federal court locates the traitor, then they are no longer superheroes in the hearts of American citizens. β
"Of course, Captain America, he doesn't have to fight us, does he? We have worked closely together over the years, and he is an excellent American soldier and a living role model! Councillor Kelly may have thought that his words were a bit excessive, and hurriedly added to ease the atmosphere.
It's good that he didn't say this, and when he said it, the cold hairs on Ymir's back stood up, and he said: "Councillor Kelly, this is an interesting passage of yours, I will write it down, maybe when I can quote it at the mourning service." β
Councillor Kelly was also amused by Ymir's sense of humor, and he asked Ymir with a smile: "Well, we don't need to worry about the impossible." Captain America will be treasonous, oh, it's the funniest joke I've ever made this year. β
He looked at Ymir with his eyes: "The key now is, Mr. Ymir, which side will you be on?" I really hope that you will give me an accurate answer and tell me that you love the Commonwealth and are willing to serve the government. β
Ymir also smiled, and after laughing, his expression also regained his composure: "I have a question that I would like to know, Councillor Kelly, why are you trying so hard to persuade me?" I don't think even Mr. President, can we get a congressman who has been opposed to mutants since the beginning of his policy to change his attitude? β
Councillor Kelly always felt a little clueless about what to do with Ymir, and finally could only tell the truth: "Mr. Ymir, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you for saving my sweetest little niece from a crisis. Cledia didn't want to go into details, but I could tell that without your help, I would probably have lost my little angel forever, which was unacceptable news for me! (To be continued......)
