Chapter 167: Diplomacy
The Capitol.
A tall red-haired woman pushed open the door to the office of the Department of Mutant Affairs and called out in a gentle voice, "Mr. Minister! ”
Hank, who was sorting out the information, looked up and looked at the assistant minister Yuris: "What's the matter?" ”
Yuris reminded, "The meeting begins, sir. ”
Hank suddenly nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”
Hank put down the documents in his hand, picked up his coat, and followed Leith to the secret conference room on the first floor of the Congress.
Enter the meeting room.
The rest of the Cabinet of Parliament has arrived.
"Sir......" Hank said hello.
Squint, who was looking at a document, saw Hanke and beckoned, "Sit down, Hank." ”
This meeting was held by Congress in order to promote a new way of dealing with mutants.
So Hank, as the head of the mutant affairs department, was placed in the right position.
And on the left is the representative of the military - General Ross.
As soon as Hank sat down, he handed the document in his hand to Hank.
Secretary of Homeland Security Claudis:
"The Department of Homeland Security was tracking Magneto before, and in Lisbon, Neva Monligarte, all found his traces."
"The navigation satellite was lost when he crossed the border, but we also caught a 'comfort.'"
As he spoke, Claudius turned around and turned on the conference room's display with the remote control.
After a while, three displays, from different angles, showed the demon girl being held in the interrogation room.
Claudius continued, "When she broke into the FDA, we caught her. ”
Hank looked at the demon girl on the display screen with some emotion.
When he first established the Mutant Academy, he and the Shapeshifter were their best friends and closest companions.
Later, after Professor X and Magneto turned against each other due to their different philosophies, the Demon Girl resolutely chose to follow Magneto and leave.
Then he leaned into Hank's ear and said, "Do you know who he became at that time? ”
With a chuckle, he asked himself and said, "Minister Claudis." ”
Claudis, who was commentating, blinked helplessly.
Claudius, who is a black man, has an already dark face, and his face looks even darker.
Hank nodded and said, "Yes, sir, she has the ability. ”
Claudius turned around, looked at Hank and said, "She can't do it anymore, we got her." ”
Hank's face was slightly serious, and he asked Claudius, "Do you think the prison can keep her?" ”
Hank is familiar with the Shapeshifter's abilities.
He knew that the Shapeshifter could change her appearance, not just visually.
Rather, it was a physical change, and ordinary handcuffs and anklets could not bind her at all.
"Minister Hank, we have a new type of prison." Claudius explains: "The prison is constantly moving, and each time it is one step ahead of the curve. ”
At this moment, the voice of the demon girl and the interrogator came from the monitor, attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room.
On the screen, the interrogator asks, "Where's Magneto?" Raven, answer my question! ”
The Demonic Girl turned her head to look at the monitor in the upper right corner of the room and said, "You are calling me by my slave name, and I will not respond." ”
The interrogator looked at the Shapeshifter's information on the file and said, "Riwenduckholm, this is your real name. Isn't it? ”
The interrogator chuckled and asked, "Or does it make you think you don't have a home?" ”
According to the information, the Shapeling is in her seventies, and her parents and family members have almost all died.
The Demonic Woman straightened her neck, looked at the interrogator viciously, and said, "My family tried to kill me. ”
The interrogator restrained his smile and said with some restraint, "Alright then, Demonic Girl. ”
The purpose of the interrogation was to get the prisoner to cooperate, so he didn't want to provoke the Demon.
I mentioned the Demon's home just now, I wanted to appease her emotions, but I didn't expect it to have such a counterproductive effect.
Once again, the interrogator asked in a serious tone, "Demon, can you tell me where Magneto is now?" ”
The skin on the Demonic Girl's body began to glow, and in a few moments she transformed into Magneto's appearance.
The Magneto-like woman said, "I'm right here, with you. ”
The interrogator spread his hands and said, "I don't want to play games with you, I want answers!" ”
The Demon Girl changed again, turning herself into the interrogator opposite, and said with a smile on her face, "Don't you want to play games with me?" ”
The interrogator slapped the table, stood up, hooked his head and said to the demon girl, "Don't mess around anymore, explain quickly, where is Magneto?" ”
The Shapeshifter also stood up and said, "Do you want to know where he is?" ”
The interrogator tried to get closer, but the Demonic Girl kicked him away.
He then jumped onto the table and shifted his body to move the handcuffs behind his back to the front.
Since these handcuffs change size according to their changing shape, there is no way for the Witch to break free.
The Demonic Woman put the handcuffs around the interrogator's neck, strangled them tightly, and said to the monitor, "Low-level humans. ”
Seeing that there was a situation in the interrogation room, the security officers outside the province and city immediately rushed in and subdued the demon girl.
The room shook his head and turned to look at Hank.
Hank leaned back in his chair and waved his hand, and said to Claudius, "You know, catching her will only anger Magneto. ”
"But with him in our hands, we do have a diplomatic bargaining chip."
Turning to the side, he looked directly at the documents on the table and said, "In principle, I can't negotiate with these people. ”
Hearing this, Hank frowned, turned around, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you appoint me as a minister for this?" Sir"
Because of the similarities and differences between the previous Mutant Academy and the Avengers, the conspiracy of Magneto and Stryker was extinguished and most people were saved.
This has led to a change in the attitude of the people and those in power towards mutants.
Between humans and mutants, there is an opportunity for peaceful coexistence.
The creation of the Ministry of Mutant Affairs, as well as his own appointment as Minister.
In Hanke's view, it is all about making itself a bridge between mutants and humans.
Pacifying the radical forces among the mutants and stabilizing the conservative forces is Hank's perception of his mission.
However, the words made Hanke wonder.
"Yes, that's right." He nodded and said, "The appointment of you as a minister is indeed for 'diplomacy'. ”
Hanke asked again, "But that's not why you called me in!" ”
"It's not!" Handing another document to Hank, he said, "That's it, this is what she stole from the Food and Drug Administration." ”
Hank took the information, looked at the content of the information, his hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and exclaimed, "Oh my God! Is this feasible? ”
