Chapter 467: The Knight of Guilty Arrives
The Supreme Court of the United States, this sacred place that represents American judicial justice, is now ushering in the most noisy and lively court session in 50 years.It’s hard to imagine that this was just an investigative hearing, rather than a public trial of a big shot.But no matter what, there was already a sea of people outside the court at this time.
The people outside had received the news from TV and came here specifically to witness the final result of this hearing.At this time, it can be said that they have been clearly divided into two square formations.
In one square there were signs such as "Death to mutants," "No mutants," and "Murderers and conspirators."Obviously, they still belong to the traditional side, to the human camp that discriminates against mutants and targets mutants.
The other phalanx is something with the slogan "Mutants, partners of justice, we believe in you, mutants".Most of these people came from New York. It was obvious that they had been separated from the original humans and had become a new human camp that was willing to understand mutants and coexist with them.
This is undoubtedly good news for mutants who have always been committed to the harmonious coexistence and equal life of humans and mutants.But for humans, it is the beginning of a new dispute.
Those in the traditional anti-mutant camp who believe that mutants murdered the president and even planned a series of conspiracies believe that these fools from New York must be crazy. They are deceived by the small favors shown by mutants. , and even cannot see their true evil face at all.
And for those on the mutant side, the sight of those screaming for mutant death is nauseating.This is a group of ignorant and arrogant people. They have no idea what is going on and just take it for granted and throw everything on the mutants.They even said that because of their own jealousy, they believed the government's lies without hesitation, and even cheered for their lies.For a person like this, if you say he looks like a pig, it might be an insult to the pig.
Due to their different positions, there is no possibility of communication between humans from the two camps.And even before this hearing began, they had already begun to attack each other.A war of words started.This kind of debate is not uncommon in free countries, but many people did not expect that such a situation would occur outside a hearing.
Listening to the noisy and mind-numbing noise outside, Logan pushed the professor's wheelchair.She said to him with bared teeth.
"If you regret it now, I think we still have time to go back. Seriously, professor, you really don't need to pay attention to these politicians. It's not their turn to comment on what we have done."
"Don't be impatient, Logan. If we go back now, it will only make people think that we are guilty." Compared with Logan's irritable appearance, the professor behaved very calmly.In other words, because he has no guilt in his heart, he has nothing to be afraid of.Even under this situation, he was still in the mood to preach to Logan. "And, imagine the stakes, Logan. If we don't attend this meeting, it will only undo everything the little naughty girls have done before. These children have spent so long and worked so hard to achieve this. those human supports
.Even for them, we have to come here.”
The professor is clear.Rugrats means something to Logan.It was an intimate bond between father and daughter.If he was not forced to do so, which father would be willing to sacrifice the hard work of his children? Logan thought that he could not do this, so he simply shut up, pushed the professor and walked into the court. On that special seat.
Seeing the appearance of Professor Charles, the host who had been waiting for a long time, the interim president who had planned all this, immediately smiled.
"Professor Charles, I have long admired your name. I thought you wouldn't show up today."
"The pure will be pure by themselves, and the turbid will be turbid by themselves. Sir, 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 immediately replied.This sentence immediately changed the interim president's expression. He smiled apologetically and said to Professor Charles.
"I'm sorry, professor. I didn't mean anything against you. I just want you to come here this time to ask you to describe yourself and prove your innocence. After all, the death of Mr. President is too bizarre. As the person who is most capable of doing all this, If you don’t give an explanation, I believe many people will not be satisfied. Of course, as long as you explain clearly, everything will be easy to say.”
"I understand what you mean, Your Excellency." The interim president's tone of voice, which almost put the blame on Professor Charles, made Logan behind the professor immediately have veins popping out, revealing a ferocious look on his face.He couldn't wait to go up and have a good talk with the temporary president about how to speak.But the professor held him tightly, preventing him from acting rashly.At the same time, the professor spoke to the interim president with a calm face and a smile.
"Sir, I'm ready. Can you start?"
"Of course, the time is just right." He glanced at the clock. As the host of this hearing, the interim president immediately knocked the gavel in front of him. After everyone had taken their seats and the audience was silent, the hearing began. He had been planning the meeting for a long time.
"Gentlemen,

This chapter is not over, click on the next page to continue reading
Ladies.I am very glad that you can participate in this hearing and investigation.This is support for American justice and judicial fairness, and it is a promotion and help for world peace and development.On behalf of the federal government and the United States of America, I would like to thank you for your support. "
"I believe you all have an understanding of the reason for this hearing. Here, I would like to introduce to you the speaker of this hearing. Professor Charles Xavier, one of the leaders of the mutants, He is also the biggest suspect suspected of controlling the president."
"In addition, the members of this hearing committee are mainly composed of representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Supreme Court, labor unions, and randomly selected gentlemen and ladies. Regarding the composition of the committee. Professor Charles, you have no objections, do you?"
"We can continue without you, Your Excellency." Professor Charles shook his head, smiled at all the members of the hearing committee, and motioned to the interim president.
"Very well, then I announce. This hearing has officially begun. First, according to the procedure, I need to ask you a question. Professor Charles. Can you tell me whether you have ever invaded and manipulated Mr. President's thoughts? He gave the order to use nuclear bombs and even massacre citizens."
"I have not. Your Excellency. There is no doubt about that."
On this question, Professor Charles gave a decisive answer.But the interim president smiled slightly and asked rhetorically.
"Then how do you prove that you didn't do such a thing?"
This question is completely counterintuitive, because the American judiciary has always followed the process of determining guilt.
.You have to have enough evidence to prove the person's guilt.Only then can they be tried in the name of law.And now, the words of the interim president are as if Professor Charles needs to provide evidence to prove his innocence in order to prove his innocence and clear his grievances.
This sounds like an unreasonable thing to say.But the interim president did just that, and he did it grandly.There was no hesitation or embarrassment at all.
Faced with such an inquiry, Professor Charles glanced at the smiling interim president on the stage, and then at the hearing committee who were silent and just watching with cold eyes.My heart immediately sank.
He knew that it was impossible for him to get fair treatment here.He wanted to walk in with dignity.The idea of walking out cleanly has been completely shattered.He underestimated the dirtiness of politics, and this underestimation hit him hard at this moment, leaving him without knowing what to do for a moment.
In court, silence is tantamount to death.Even if the situation was unfavorable to him, Charles could only reluctantly defend himself.
"I have no reason to do this, Your Excellency."
"No, you do. If the president, under your control, carries out bottomless destruction of this country again and again, your students with special status can play a greater role and establish a better society. The image comes. This seems to be your dream all along, and you do these things for your dream. Isn’t it normal?”
"Then there's no reason for me to control the president." Charles frowned and tried his best to appear more convincing. "My students have always done a good job. If I want to achieve what you said. With their efforts, one day will come soon. Isn't it?"
"That said, Professor. But not everyone can have this patience. Especially for an old man who has only a limited time. How long will it take to realize your dream with your students, ten years, 20 years or 30 years. They can wait that long. What about you, professor? Can you wait 30 years? I understand a person's desire to see his dream come true, professor. Moreover. Alien invasion is such a good opportunity, if it is wasted Wouldn’t it be a pity if it didn’t happen?”
The interim president cleverly set up a trap, making every reason Charles said possible to become an excuse for his conspiracy.At this time, under the premise that humans were generally suspicious of mutants, Professor Charles found that he had nothing to say.
It’s not that I have nothing to say, it’s that I simply can’t say anything more.Because he was afraid that the more he spoke, the deeper he would sink, and he might even fall into it with his students.Therefore, he could only remain silent.
"There is no reason, Professor. Or should I say, you have already chosen to give up?"
Watching the expression on Professor Charles' face begin to become stiff and dull.The interim president smiled broadly on his face.Since he dared to ask Charles to attend this hearing, he was naturally well prepared.No matter what he said, it was useless.This is his territory, and you 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 bright.A ray of light suddenly came down from the sky, penetrated the dome of the court, and reflected into the center of the court.Let this court become brilliant and bright, just like a world of light.
As one of the only shadows in the world, the interim president sitting at the top gritted his teeth and looked 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 are really here"
