Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 9 The First Encounter with Professor X

The venue for the New York City Council is also in City Hall.

To explain here, the New York City Hall is located in the middle of City Hall Park in the Civic Center District of Lower Manhattan.

The famous Broadway is right next to City Hall, a place where every inch of land is expensive, and City Hall itself is also a landmark building in New York City.

Because Murray strictly implements the system of separation of powers, although the mayor has the same rights as the emperor, he still has to accept the supervision of the city council, and the council consists of 51 members, each of whom will serve as the head of a different committee.

This group of people has great power and is elected by the people of each constituency, which is the so-called political officer.

And the protagonist of this hearing is Congressman Kelly, who is also a congressman. Kelly is a member of Congress. The reason why he came to New York is because his bill caused a stir in Washington, but it was not passed. So he took a curve to save the country. way, came to New York to promote his motion.

The United States is a federal system, and local governments have considerable autonomy. As long as the New York City Council passes it, his proposal can be implemented in New York City.

And because New York is the economic and financial center of the United States, this will have an impact on the whole country. Congressman Kelly's calculations are quite smart.

When Jack, Caddy, and Booker walked into the council venue, it was already full of people. Because the bills involved were very sensitive, the New York City Council not only invited the famous Dr. Jean Gray, but also invited many representatives of public opinion and non-governmental organizations. , so the whole venue seemed very noisy, and the discipline of the venue was also very lax.

Jack looked at the representatives who were expressing their opinions, and suddenly remembered a joke in his previous life. It was said that a city in California was going to repair a main road, so the council began to ask public opinion. Ten years passed, and then there was no more!
Yes, this is American democracy. Procrastination is a common practice. I am afraid that in another ten years, the main road will not change.

Jack looked at these people showing off their tongues, and felt bored. Although the work experience at the grassroots level in the previous life was hard and tough, it has to be said that he did a lot of work, and the politicians in New York only want to please the people. As for what is the responsibility?I'm afraid they will never figure it out for the rest of their lives.

After an hour of expressing their opinions, the meeting agenda finally entered the heavyweight Dr. Jean Gray on the podium.

Dressed in a fiery red dress, with a resolute face, I have to say that Dr. Qin's appearance is very good, but Jack really can't appreciate her appearance. The facial contour is too "hard", giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Humanity is facing another stage of evolution..."

"The awakening of mutants' abilities often occurs during puberty, and is induced by emotional ups and downs..."

Qin's speech was full of appeal, and the people at the scene learned about the mutant group for the first time from her calm speech. If she continued to speak like this, Congressman Kelly's intentions would all come to naught, so he immediately stood up. out,
"Dr. Jean, do you have anything to say about the Brooklyn fire?"

"It was just an accident," Jean explained, frowning.

Qin obviously had something to say, and she wanted to explain, but Congressman Kelly interrupted her,

"We all know it was an accident, but accidents caused by mutants are controllable, as long as they are willing to publicly register their information."

"I have a piece of information here that shows that in the past ten years, the number of accidental deaths caused by the out-of-control mutant abilities was more than 297 people, so we are careless. This ratio is very small, but I must explain Yes, [-] people have died in the past year due to mutant powers going out of control."

Congressman Kelly waved the document in his hand, his "anger" was beyond words, and he shouted loudly: "I have enough evidence to prove that with the development of society, mutants' control over themselves has become weaker and weaker. This time, Brooke The forest fire has caused 137 deaths and injuries, and there may be more in the future. If we ignore it, mutants will destroy America."

"So we have to learn about them, study them! Until we can ensure our safety!"

Before Congressman Kelly finished speaking, the entire meeting room became noisy with a bang. Everyone whispered to each other, obviously shocked by the report.

Jack knew that Congressman Kelly's report was true. In fact, there were more secrets that had not been revealed. With the advent of the new millennium, the population of mutants was rapidly expanding, and there were more and more natural awakening incidents. There are many reasons for this, such as the increase in radiation sources in the world, the oppression and marginalization of mutants by society, all of which have created difficulties for mutants, and suffering is the key for mutants to unlock superpowers.

Qin wanted to refute several times, but was covered by the noisy sound of the venue.

At this time, Jack looked up to check the venue and found a special person, Professor X, the leader of the mutant organization X-Men.

"I didn't expect him to come too."

Professor X, formerly known as Charles Xavier, is a super-rich second generation and an alpha-level mutant. His abilities are mind, emotion and mind control.

It is a veritable killer of mutants.

However, Professor X has devoted his whole life to the harmonious coexistence of humans and mutants. He is a respectable and good person. Dr. Jean Gray on the stage is his proud student.

Facing the chaotic meeting place, the host of the council came forward several times to maintain order, and finally calmed down the meeting place.

But at this time, the meeting place had become the stage for Congressman Kelly. He kept taking out various materials in his hand, and successfully incited the panic of the representatives of public opinion and some congressmen towards the mutants.

Fortunately, most members of the parliament were still able to stay awake, or they were afraid of taking responsibility, so Congressman Kelly's registration bill was not passed, but judging from the atmosphere of the audience, he has succeeded.

Because of Mr. Kelly's extraordinary performance, Jack, as the representative of the mayor, did not need to speak, which allowed Jack to escape. Facts have proved that it is really inconvenient for Mr. Mayor to express his opinion at present.

Jack was about to walk out of the venue with his briefcase in hand, but was stopped by a gentle voice,

"Mr. Jack, can we talk?"

Professor X?

How could he take the initiative to find himself?
Seeing Qin pushing Professor X with a warm smile to his side, Jack couldn't help suspecting that his identity as a time traveler had been exposed, but what should come will always come, and escaping is not the way.

So Jack did not refuse the other party's invitation, and followed Professor X and Qin into an elegant cafe.

Qin is a suitable assistant. After serving coffee for the two of them, she silently walked to another table and sat down.

"Mr. Jack, you are a special person!"

Professor X's first words erupted in Jack's heart!

My identity has been discovered!
