Chapter 467 Guilty Verdict, the Arrival of the Knight
The Supreme Court of the United States, the sacred place that represents the justice of the United States, is now ushering in the most noisy and lively court session in the past 50 years. It's hard to imagine that this is just an investigative hearing, not a public hearing of a big deal. But no matter what, the court at this time was already crowded with people.
These people outside received news from the TV and came to witness the final result of this hearing. At this time, they can be said to have been clearly divided into two square formations.
A square was marked with signs such as "Death to mutants!", "No mutants", "Murderers, conspirators". Obviously, they still belong to the traditional side, the human camp that discriminates against mutants and targets mutants.
The other phalanx is something with slogans like "Mutants, mates of justice!" "We believe in you, mutants!" Most of these people came from New York. Obviously, they have been divided from the original human beings and become a new human camp that is willing to understand mutants and coexist with them.
This is undoubtedly good news for the **** mutants who have always been committed to the harmonious coexistence and equal life of humans and mutants. But for human beings, it is the beginning of a new dispute.
The traditional anti-mutant camp guys who think mutants murdered the president and even plotted a series of conspiracies think these idiots from New York must be crazy, and they've been blinded by the little favors shown by the mutants , and can't even see their evil true colors at all.
And for the guys who are on the mutant side, they get nauseated when they see the guys yelling for mutants to die. This is a bunch of ignorant and arrogant people who don't even know what's going on and just throw everything on mutants for granted. They even said that because of their own jealousy, they believed the government's lies without hesitation, and even waved their flags for their lies. Like this kind of person, if you say he looks like a pig, maybe it's an insult to pigs.
Based on the difference in positions, it is impossible for humans on both sides to communicate with each other. And just before the hearing began, they were already shelling each other. There was a war of words. This kind of debate is not uncommon in a free country, but it is unexpected for many people to have such a situation outside a hearing.
Hearing the noisy noise outside, which made people's brain hurt, Logan pushed the professor's wheelchair. Baring his teeth, he said to him.
"If you regret it now, I don't think it's time for us to go back. Seriously, professor, you really don't need to pay attention to these politicians. It's not their turn to comment on everything we've done."
"Don't worry, Logan. If we go back now. It will only make people think we are guilty." Compared with Logan's irritable appearance,
The professor was very calm. In other words, because he has no guilt in his heart, he has nothing to be afraid of at all. Even in this case, he was still in the mood to preach to Rogan. "And, imagine what's at stake, Logan. If we don't show up for this meeting, it's just going to ruin everything they've done before. It's taken these kids so long and so much effort to pay for it. The support of those humans. Even for them, we must be here!"
The professor is very clear. What the little naughty girl meant to Logan. It was the intimacy between father and daughter. If it is not a last resort, what father is willing to sacrifice his children's efforts? Logan thought he couldn't do this, so he simply shut his mouth, pushed the professor into the courtroom, and walked to that special seat.
Looking at the appearance of Professor Charles, the host who had been waiting for a long time, the interim president who had planned all this, immediately showed a smile.
"Professor Charles, I've been very famous for a long time. I thought you wouldn't show up today!"
"The clean is clear, and the dirty is dirty. Your Excellency! I don't think there is any reason why I dare not come, so why don't I appear here?"
Listen to the interim president. Professor Charles replied immediately. And this sentence immediately made the interim president change his face, he smiled apologetically, and said to Professor Charles.
"I'm sorry, Professor. I didn't mean to target you. I just wanted to ask you to tell yourself this time and prove your innocence. After all, the death of Mr. President is too bizarre, as the most capable person to do it all. You, if you don't give an explanation, I believe many people will not be satisfied. Of course, as long as you explain it clearly. Everything is easy to say. "
"I understand what you mean, Your Excellency!" The interim president's tone that almost pinned the charge on Professor Charles's head made Rogan behind the professor immediately burst into blue veins, revealing a hideous look on his face. He can't wait to go up at this time and have a good talk with the temporary Mr. President about how to speak. But the professor held him tightly, so that he couldn't act rashly at all. At the same time, the professor spoke to the interim president with a calm and smiling face.
"Your Excellency, I'm ready. Can you start?"
"Of course, the time is just right!" Glancing at the clock, as the host of the hearing, the interim president immediately knocked on the gavel in front of him. The meeting he had planned for a long time.
"Gentlemen and Ladies. I'm very glad that you can participate in this hearing and investigation. This is to support the justice and justice of the United States, and to promote and help the peaceful development of the world. Here I want to represent the federal government and the United States, Thank you for your support.”
"I believe you all have an understanding of the reasons for this hearing. And here, I would like to introduce to you the presenters of this hearing. Professor Charles Xavier, one of the leaders of the mutants, is also The biggest suspect suspected of taking control of the president."
"In addition, the members of the hearing committee this time are mainly composed of representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Supreme Court, trade unions, and randomly selected gentlemen and ladies. Regarding the composition of the committee. Professor Charles, you have no objection!"
"No! You can continue, Your Excellency!" Shaking his head, Professor Charles smiled at all the members of the hearing committee, and then gestured to the interim president.
"Very well, then I announce. This hearing officially begins. First of all, according to the process, I need to ask you a question. Professor Charles. Can you tell me whether you have intruded and manipulated the mind of Mr. President, Let him give orders to use nuclear bombs and even massacre citizens?"
"I don't. Your Excellency. There's no doubt about that!"
On this question, Professor Charles answered decisively. But the interim president smiled and asked back.
"Then how do you prove that you didn't do such a thing?"
This question is very counter-intuitive, because the US judiciary has always followed the process of incriminating guilt. You must have enough evidence to convict the person. to be tried in the name of the law. And now, this sentence of the interim president is like asking Professor Charles to provide evidence to prove his innocence in order to prove his innocence and clear his injustice.
It just sounded like vexatious rhetoric. But that's what the interim president did, and he did it with grandeur. There was no hesitation and embarrassment at all.
Faced with such inquiries, Professor Charles glanced at the smiling interim president on the stage, and then at the hearing committees who were silent and just watching from the sidelines. A heart sank immediately.
He knew that it was impossible for him to get fair treatment here. He wanted to walk in with dignity. The idea of going out cleanly has also been completely shattered. He underestimated the filth of politics, and this underestimation hit him in the head at this moment, leaving him not knowing how to get better for a moment.
In court, silence is like death. Even if the situation was against him, Charles could only reluctantly defend himself.
"I have no reason to do this, Your Excellency!"
"No, you have. If the president is under your control to wreak havoc on this country over and over again, your special students will be able to play a bigger role and build a better society. image. It seems like you've always dreamed of doing these things for your dreams. Isn't that normal?"
"Then I have no reason to control the president!" Frowning his eyebrows, Charles tried his best to be more convincing. "My students have been doing really well, if I want to do what you say. With their hard work, there will be one day soon. Isn't it?"
"Having said that, Professor. But not everyone has the patience. Especially for an old man who is running out of time. How long will it take, ten years, to realize your dreams with your students? Twenty years or thirty years. They can wait that long, how about you? Professor, can you wait thirty years? I understand a man's desire to see his dreams come true, professor. And. an alien invasion is so good Wouldn't it be a pity if the opportunity was wasted?"
The interim president eloquently set up a trap that made every reason Charles uttered a possible excuse for his conspiracy. At this time, under the premise that humans generally doubt mutants, Professor Charles actually found that he had nothing to say.
Not that there is nothing to say, but that there is simply no more to say. Because he was afraid that the more he talked, the deeper he would sink, and maybe even his own students would also fall into it. Therefore, he could only be silent.
"Is there no reason? Professor. Or, have you chosen to give up?"
Watching the expression on Professor Charles' face became stiff and stiff. The interim president had a smile on his face. Since he dared to let Charles attend this hearing, he was naturally well prepared. No matter what he said, it was useless. This is his territory, and he can only listen to him here.
And just when he wanted to swing his hammer and give this hearing a qualitative answer. The entire court hall suddenly became blazing bright. A light suddenly came down from the sky, pierced through the dome of the courthouse, and mapped to the center of the courthouse. Let this court become brilliant and bright, just like a world of light.
As the only shadows in this world, the interim president sitting at the top was gnashing his teeth and looking at the bright and dazzling figure that suddenly appeared in the center, and let out a low bark like a jackal Call.
"Dawn Knight, you actually came!" (~^~)
