Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Moral Problem of Dogs Eating Dog Meat
"Why do you choose to run away directly, the United States is a legal society, mutants use superpowers in public just to be caught, they can still ask for a lawyer to help them. The reporter excitedly asked again, in his opinion, since he had violated the law, it was reasonable to be arrested, and running away directly was just a distrust of the judiciary.
"That's the most terrible thing, after investigation, the Sentinel Secret Service didn't have any desire to communicate with mutants when they caught them in violation of the Mutant Act, like a hunt, mutants are just beasts in their eyes, without any human care, not at all, you know? What was the reason I helped mutants in the first place?" Charles began to show off his acting skills that he hadn't used for a long time, and said in a sad tone.
"What is it?" Although Charles's expression is exaggerated, for reporters, it is not a thing, and the most important thing is that Charles's expression is very newsy now, of course, he has to continue to ask.
"They actually hunted a pregnant woman, and tools such as stun guns directly attacked the pregnant woman without any mercy or mercy. Charles sighed and said a word.
When the reporters heard Charles's accusations, they began to go crazy, and one by one they asked Charles to show evidence and threw questions in front of Charles, trying to get more truth.
"The pregnant woman is right next to me, you can ask her how she's been attacked by the Sentinel, how the hunters treat mutants, and don't scare her, she's still vulnerable. Charles moved half of his body away so that the camera could catch Lorna behind him, and then motioned for Lorna to come forward for an interview.
"......" saw that Charles casually framed the Sentinel Secret Service for attacking a pregnant woman, Lorna was still helpless that Charles could find this point to arouse public sympathy, and when Charles told everyone that she was the pregnant woman, she was left speechless, and told Charles with angry eyes that she had no intention of deceiving people with Charles.
"Woo, keep your face up, and although the Sentinels didn't know you were a pregnant woman when they attacked you, those reporters wouldn't care about these things, so what don't you have to worry about?" Suddenly, in the ears of Marcos and Lorna, Charles's voice appeared, and it was not difficult for Charles to spread the word to the secret.
In addition, although in the plot, Lorna is not aware of the fact that she is pregnant at this point in time, but it will not affect the fact that Lorna is pregnant, so her identity still has a lot of room for manipulation.
The reporter gathered in front of Lorna and asked Lorna if what Charles said was true.
"Yes, they did attack me, there was no communication. Lorna was taken aback by Charles's situation, and reflexively answered the reporter's question, respecting the facts very much, because except for the fact that Lorna is pregnant, which was forcibly added by Charles, everything else is true.
And Lorna's panicked expression convinced the reporters that the Sentinel Secret Service did not hunt humane hunts to capture mutants, and that pregnant women and children were all the same in their eyes, criminals, or targets.
And when Charles saw that the atmosphere was pushed to a climax by Lorna's words, and Lorna began to be under pressure to tell others that she was not pregnant as Charles said, he immediately walked up to Lorna and took over the interview again.
"Do you know what was the most terrible thing I've ever discovered?" Charles, ignoring the idea that some reporters were going to follow up, made another accusation.
"What is it?" Charles wants to make trouble, reporters want news, and at this time, there is a tacit understanding of cooperation.
"I want to ask everyone, do you train a dog to eat dog meat?" Charles asked, looking at the reporter who asked the question.
"What do you mean......" Charles's sudden question made everyone quiet for a moment, this question is not easy to answer, and even said that they dare not answer, because from a normal point of view, dogs may eat dog meat, but if dogs are forced to eat dog meat, this is a moral issue, depending on the actual situation.
"It's not just humans who hunt down mutants, there's also mutants, but ...... This mutant is not voluntary, and even says that he has no self-will, he has been transformed into a robot, gets orders, and then attacks the target, even if the target is his former family, and even that he was caught completely because of the protection of his family, I strongly suspect that the Sentinel Secret Service is using mutants to make weapons, so, and the Mutant Act is to allow the public to ignore this evil happening around them.
Here, I strongly appeal to those who still have basic morals in their hearts to oppose the Mutant Act and protect the basic human rights of mutants, because they are not beasts, they were ordinary legal citizens in the United States before they became mutants, just like you, and we can't define a mutant as a beast just because his body has changed, because their minds have not changed with their bodies, they still believe in the law, but the harm that the law does to them is the source of their distrust of the law. ”
Charles said these words impassionedly, and then took Lorna and Marcos with him, ready to end the press conference, and when Marcos and Lorna and Charles were close enough, Charles said one last word.
"If you question my accusations, I'll accept them, and then we'll give you the evidence, all the evidence, and if you don't even believe it, then you can ask the government agencies about it, those captured mutants are there, and the criminals should be in prison, not in the lab! ”
After Charles said the last word, he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, along with Marcos and Lorna, the birdcage in the sky began to dissipate, and a large number of troops poured into the square in front of the Capitol, but unfortunately Charles had long since disappeared.
The reporters also lost Charles, but they immediately reacted to who should be asked at this time, and they rushed to the president's office, they wanted to grab the first news.
Not far away, Lorna looked at Charles and asked angrily, "Why do you want to call me a pregnant woman, is your habit just to make things up? Is it in your nature to lie?"
In the face of Lorna's questioning, Charles's expression changed several times, from incomprehension at first, then to a smile, and finally began to explain.
"I do like to deceive people, but I don't lie when it comes to you being pregnant, my perception is very strong, and you are indeed pregnant, so don't dye your hair again in the future, it's not good for the child." Charles said, looking at Lorna's pretty green hair.
