The oily-haired White House spokesman used to enjoy the feeling of talking in the spotlight, and he liked to straighten his bow tie a little before opening his mouth and announce important White House news to the world with just the right magnetic voice.

At this moment, in the face of the reporters of the major media under the podium who were looking at him with excited faces and pointing at him with pen and paper, Mr. Spokesman felt a sense of powerlessness in the enemy camp.

“.... An investigation into General William Stryker's conduct is being conducted under the direction of the Justice Department, and more details will be disclosed after the investigation is completed. ”

The White House spokesman lowered his hands from the podium with a blank expression, but the reporters below were not going to let him go.

"Mr. Spokesman, according to the information disclosed by Magneto, also known as Max Eisenhart, the previous federal presidents, as well as the Secretary of Defense, and other senior federal government officials, have all been aware of the mutant transformation program led by William Stryker, will the Justice Department also investigate them?"

"Mr. Spokesman, how did Magneto hijack all the TV and radio channels in the Federation?"

"Can you explain why the LAPD ruled that Professor Starcher Bingsey's death as a suicide, and does that mean that the Ameritian judiciary was influenced or even manipulated?"

Dozens of reporters looked at the spokesman with eager and greedy eyes, like chicks waiting to be fed, trying to scrape a layer of flesh off him with the razor-like pen and paper.

"There is no comment on the involvement of state secrets, and more details will be disclosed after the investigation is concluded. With that, the spokesman gestured to the big-shouldered security guards on either side, avoided the crazy reporters, and fled from the press room with his body bowed.

A few hundred meters away, in an oval room, the most powerful man in the world poured himself a cup of bitter coffee, threw his well-cut suit on the wooden table made of wood from the hull of the 'Brave', and stood by the clear floor-to-ceiling windows to look out at the setting sun.

"For God's sake, I'll be honorably retired in a few months, and this has to happen while I'm going down...."

The man with gray sideburns smiled bitterly and couldn't stop sighing.

Originally, the mutant transformation plan had nothing to do with his half-dime, but the worst thing was that in a political deal with a giant pharmaceutical group a few months ago, he instructed the Secretary of Defense to approve William Stryker's plan to ask for more "special group trial materials".

Although I don't know why Magneto didn't have him on the list released, the current president of America knows that his situation is worrying.

The chief of staff of the White House rested his legs on the small coffee table without any image, and his expression was a little self-defeating and lazy, "Your Excellency, every minute you use to feel sorry for yourself now will be replenished in the future when you go to prison." Instead of standing here complaining, it is better to seize the time and act to save the situation as much as possible. ”

"How to save?" The General Manager of America was a little unconvinced, he came from the bottom of the society, relying on his diligence, hard work, ingenuity, and countless difficulties and dangers, step by step to get to today's position.

But now, it's all over.

As the contents of the Marvel Huts unfolded, the mutant transformation experiments led by William Stryker were completely exposed, and the content of those extremely inhumanist experiments was enough for participants to go to hell a million times, and how could the president himself be spared?

Even if the people can still be silenced on the grounds that "the Department of Justice is still investigating," how long can this last? A procession has already appeared on the lawn of the White House!

The chief of staff looked directly into his pupils and said word by word: "Mr. President, it is imperative to destroy the evidence as soon as possible."

"These things are already being done, Stryker's underground base under the Hoover Dam is emptied as quickly as possible, the data is destroyed, and the personnel involved are amnesticized, and all traces of the underground base are erased as much as possible within a month.

Hehe, before I had given a political order, the federal officials who were terrified of being in prison began to bury their traces. ”

The president threw himself on the couch and ruffled his meticulously groomed hair, "But time is still too short to dissociate ourselves from them.

I don't know which force made the URL of that Marvel Hut, and the current Internet experts simply don't have enough to see it, and they can't even delete or block its content.

As long as the inspection team of the Federal Supreme Court followed the vine, they would soon be able to track me down, and now I am like an ant on a hot pot, seemingly alive, but in fact half of my body is buried in the earth. ”

"Your Excellency, after all, Magneto's list doesn't include you, which means that your responsibility in this matter is not serious, does it?"

The chief of staff of the White House was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "What's more, even if the worst happens, we can use the provisions of the special pardon law to help you, no, help us escape the trial of the federal court together." ”

The president immediately came back to his senses from his out-of-body state and said in disbelief: "You mean we make an agreement with the next president to help him complete his campaign in exchange for a judicial pardon privileged by the new president?"

"That's right. The chief of staff snapped his fingers and chuckled, "I don't think the Republican candidate Kim is very good." ”

————

William Stryker scratched his wrist, which had been worn red by the metal handcuffs, and closed his eyes to prevent the dazzling shadowless lamp on the ceiling from swaying his eyes.

"It's ridiculous, I had tea with your chief just the other day, and now I'm down here, and I don't even have a cup of hot coffee. ”

Major General William grumbled, but the young officer sitting across from him didn't seem to buy it.

"General William, please cooperate with us and don't talk about him left or right. ”

The young officer said with a straight face and in a cold and blunt tone, all of which fell into William's eyes, but he was a fledgling and only knew how to bully others.

"Young man, everything you want to pry out of my mouth is meaningless, and what is presented to the world in the end is always the 'fact' that is most in the interests of the majority after multiple compromises. ”

Major General William sighed in a tone of a passer-by: "Do you know how deep the water is behind the mutant transformation plan? Giant pharmaceutical companies need mutants' special genes to develop anti-aging drugs, the military needs to make mutants' extraordinary abilities universal to all armies, and there are even pure-blooded human radicals who are stepping up the persecution of mutants in the political situation.

The forces of all parties are intertwined and jointly cover up the mutant transformation plan I presided. Otherwise, you really think that I, a major general, can cover the sky with one hand?"

The young officer pursed his lips and did not speak, but glanced at the one-way glass next to the interrogation room with a faint glance out of the corner of his eyes.

Seeing this, Major General William sneered and slammed the handcuffs on the table, "Our conversation in this room is worthless, and it is always the politicians in Washington who are in a hurry to decide the situation."

The honorable President of America may have a way out of this fire pit, but the high-ranking federal officials who are on the list and have no hope of escaping will certainly try to save the situation. ”
