Chapter 27: Answering Questions from Journalists
"Is that so?" said Lorna, after a moment's thought.
"Otherwise, you don't think I'm really thinking about the future for you mutants, if you really have that kind of expectation in your heart, I'm afraid you'll be very disappointed. Charles continued.
Charles said his attitude towards mutants so directly, which made Lorna, who was a little expectant of Charles, lose her expression, but she recovered immediately, Charles has done enough, they have just met, and they don't expect Charles to do more, and he is not from this earth.
"By the way, how do you know Magneto? and how powerful he is? You can even say that he can destroy the world, don't tell me you're just fooling. Lorna suddenly remembered the question she had been very concerned about just now, why Charles seemed to know Magneto very well, and of course, Professor X-.
"I thought you could resist asking, why, do you care where your father went?" said Charles, rubbing his nose.
"Do you know where he went?" Hearing Charles suddenly say something that everyone didn't know, Lorna's face changed drastically, and she immediately asked anxiously about Magneto.
"I don't know, but you're really Magneto's daughter, wow, that's amazing, but there's a question, why is Magneto's name Eric Lanchel and you're Lorna Dane, what's going on?"
Charles laughed when he saw that Lona's expression had finally changed, and then asked her story with a very gossipy expression, but this joke was not approved by Lona, and in her angry eyes, Charles could only choose to back down and not ask about it.
And after Marcos heard the conversation between Charles and Lorna, the whole person was not good, he was Lorna's boyfriend, but he didn't know at all, it turned out that his father-in-law was the famous Magneto, and this news made his little heart so nervous that it jumped.
"Well, we seem to have scared your little boyfriend, didn't you tell him how big your backstage is?" Charles looked at the pale Marcos and asked about Lorna.
"I've never met that man, and he didn't know I had such a daughter, so why should I tell anyone else that I was his daughter, and that was something to be happy about?" Charles's questioning finally aroused Lorna's disgust, and Marcos pulled him to get away from Charles.
"Wait, aren't you going to be interviewed with me?" Seeing Lorna running ahead of him, Charles slowly chased after them with his light skills, and asked them if they wanted to be interviewed with him.
Lorna continued to walk forward as if she hadn't heard Charles, but judging from her direction, she was still going to be interviewed with Charles, but she didn't want to say anything more to Charles now.
After the three of them sped up, they soon came to the main entrance of the Capitol, and the state media reporters who were driven away by the men in black were arguing about media freedom, and when they saw Charles come out, they immediately gave up this worthless argument and ran to Charles and set up the machine.
"Hello, Mr. Mutants, may I ask if you are really a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, and what is your purpose in kidnapping the president and other senators, can you tell me?" A fast-moving reporter ran up to Charles and said this, and before Charles could answer, the other microphones were all stretched out, with all kinds of questions.
Okay, it's only been a while, and I've become a member of the mutant brotherhood, and this operation has been completely defined as a kidnapping operation, and I have to say that the Americans' associative ability is still good.
"Quiet, quiet...... Quiet!" Charles smiled at first and quieted them down, but he couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately shouted loudly, so that the reporters who thought they were really terrorists suddenly remembered that this guy in front of them was a big terrorist who dared to kidnap the president, and they all fell silent for a while.
"Ahem, ahem, let me make a few points first, first, I'm not a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, just an ordinary mutant, and second, my purpose in restricting access here is not to keep the people here from going out, but to prevent the army from entering and having a direct armed conflict with me. After seeing that everyone was quiet, Charles straightened his clothes again and said to a large pile of microphones that had not yet had time to take back.
"And what is your purpose?" After seeing that Charles was really just quieting them and not intimidating them, the reporters gathered around again, intending to interview the first-hand account of the "terrorist" in front of them.
"As you can see, I'm here to fight for the legitimate rights of mutants. Charles spoke.
"Why, I mean, after the Mutant Act is enforced, only mutants who break the law will be arrested, and if you want to fight for your rights, shouldn't you come before the Mutant Act review? Why now?" a nimble reporter began to ask his own question.
"Good question, as you said, the Mutant Act, in fact, I don't have much feeling about the Mutant Act, because I'm a mutant who can be undiscoverable, the kind with a very low sense of existence, so when the Mutant Act When it was passed, I didn't think that this bill would have an impact on my life, I could perfectly control my superpowers, so I wouldn't do any harm to the public, and I also thought that if a mutant couldn't perfectly control his superpowers, it would indeed be insecure for the general public, so I didn't want to interfere with the implementation of the "Mutant Act" at first, even if the bill seemed quite harsh, but it was still able for some mutants to learn to manipulate their superpowers. ”
Ignoring the reporter's question behind him, Charles immediately began to talk about the first reporter, of course, these things had already been made up in his mind, and the main reason why Charles chose to answer this reporter's question was also because he asked questions that Charles could answer.
"And now?" The other reporters found out that Charles had accepted a particular reporter's question, and after losing the right to ask the first question, they had no choice but to follow up on the shooting, and the first reporter naturally continued to ask Charles.
"After the Mutant Act came into effect, my life didn't change, and ordinary people started to stop marching, so at first I thought I was doing the right thing, but because of an accident, I suddenly realized that the Mutant Act made other mutants learn to manipulate superpowers, because they didn't have time to learn at all. Charles continued to speak in front of the camera.
"Why?" the reporter continued.
"Because after they first found out they had superpowers, they had no choice but to run away. Before explaining this matter, I need to popularize it with everyone, mutants are not born mutants, and most mutants will only be transformed into mutants after experiencing strong mental stimulation, and this is when I found out that the Mutant Act It doesn't do the new mutants any good, you need to know that before the mutants became mutants, they were just ordinary human beings, and they didn't know that they were mutants, and they couldn't be what they wanted to go through, so they were completely uncontrollable in the transformation they were completely unexpected. After being asked by reporters, Charles began to answer.
"And then?" the reporter asked again.
"Then they violated the provisions of the Mutant Act and had no choice but to escape, so I said that the Mutant Act did not do any good for mutants. Charles looked at the camera and said with a little sadness.
