American Celestial Master

Chapter 34, Proposals

The day after the class ended, a member of the MZ Party proposed a new bill, which requires all people with "special abilities" in the United States to register with the federal government and the states.So that the Z government can learn about them, so as to better protect the safety of the American people.

According to this bill, in addition to registering with the federal government and the states, those involved with "special abilities" also have the obligation to report their whereabouts to the federal government and the state where they are located.And in order to facilitate the Z government department to track them, they need to change to a special driver's license or passport.

Of course, this motion immediately drew opposition from the GH Party.Although it is said that some members of the GH party have already prepared similar bills.

The opposition from the GH party is also very traditional. First of all, they believe that this restricts the freedom of the American people.Moreover, the definition of "special ability" is too vague, and it is easy to give the Z department the space to expand its authority arbitrarily.

"First of all, does this superpower need to be tested, can it be tested? For example, if someone claims that he can see ghosts, should we send him to receive treatment, or put him on the list? Is it as long as someone claims to have such abilities? We'll just register him? And track him down? That's great, I know at least ten minority wizards in my neighborhood who claim to see the future and see souls.

If we pass a bill like this, does that mean the police can harass them whenever they want?You are persecuting a minority of ethnic Z! "A certain old white male congressman simply picked up the draft of the Democratic Party and began to attack the MZ Party for persecuting a minority of Z ethnic groups.

"Are you planning to wear special armbands on them in the next step, so that everyone can recognize them at a glance?" This sentence is more interesting. Considering some of the experiences of a certain nation in history, this sentence Political correctness has reached its peak in the United States.

Logically speaking, this time with the MZ party's script, it finally gained the upper hand in terms of political correctness, and the GH party should have the upper hand.But this is not the case.Their speech is hardly to be found in other traditional media, except Fox News.And on the Internet, apart from Twitter, you can't see what they said.

What's more terrible is that the MZ Party reacted quickly, and even slammed it back, saying that "GH Party members compared super criminals with victims of corruption, which is extremely ignorant and astonishingly vicious."

On the contrary, this kind of attack has received a lot of reports. As a result, the GH party member who said this had to come out to apologize, saying that he did not mean it. If what he said caused people to misunderstand, he felt very sorry...

However, although the MZ Party gained the upper hand in media propaganda as usual, the advancement of this bill still encountered a lot of problems.Because this bill does have a lot of technical problems, and these technical problems also involve the issue of profit distribution.So everyone continues to argue.Although I don't know why, the GH Party's resistance to this motion has suddenly become weak, but it still takes a lot of time to pass this motion.

On the other hand, the FBI and state police departments have already acted first.

Their first move was to try again to recruit those "superheroes" they already knew a little bit about.

For example, Fidel and the others were once again recruited by the Pennsylvania police department.

"Mr. Lin, there are some differences between their recruitment this time and before." In the small dream class, Fidel asked Lin Qiusheng for advice on how to make a decision on this issue, "They gave us two options, the first is to join their An action team, this action team is specifically for super criminals. If we choose this, we still have to go through the normal process, that is, according to the process, first fill out a registration form, then take an exam, and then an interview, of course They promise that we can pass these exams even if we hand in blank papers. Then we can go to the police academy to study, and then we can join the action team as trainee police officers. Of course, we will still be paid as normal trainee police officers, but they promised There will be a relatively high action allowance.

The second option is that we serve them as an informant. In this way, we are relatively free. When they need our help, they can give us money in the name of informant fees.In this way, we get more money for each action, and we have room to shirk some things that are too dangerous-after all, we are not the police.

In addition, they threatened us that once Congress passes the relevant bills, and we have not yet entered their system, then we will face a series of troubles.Do you have any suggestions for this matter? "

"You chose to discuss this matter with me at this time instead of calling me directly. This is a very wise approach. At least for now, communicating here is far more confidential than calling. After all, Listening to dreams is much more difficult than listening to phone calls. You must know that even if the new bill has not been passed, according to the "Country A Act", they still have the right to listen to our phone calls-in the current environment, we must prove It's simply too easy for us to pose a potential danger to public safety," Lin Qiusheng applauded first.

"You should also know that I'm already getting an informant fee from the FBI. So of course I suggest that you choose to be a police informant. The most important thing here is not income, but relative safety. For example, if you want to You know my general style when dealing with extraordinary things. I will try my best to prepare first, understand the relevant situation, and do it when I am sure.

But if I'm a policeman, they may use all kinds of discipline and rules to command me, which may put me in a head-to-head confrontation with a monster, which puts me in danger.

In addition, at least for now, some people in the police may prefer you to serve them as informants.Because the funds involved in the informant need to be kept confidential.If you can provide very critical services, the informant fee may even be as high as millions of dollars, and who and how the money is given are kept confidential.How good do you think it is?

Of course, if the superhumans and the country's Z power are highly opposed in the future, the situation may change, but at least for the time being, it is better to keep in touch with the police as an informant.

In addition, I suggest that you do not easily get involved in things related to super criminals, at least not directly involved in such things, you can focus on dealing with various monsters.Do you get me? "

Fidel thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Lin, are you worried that if we get involved in this kind of thing too much, we may confront other extraordinary people, and even be used by the police as their cannon fodder?"

"The civil war among mutants is even more intense than their struggle with the government. Some super criminals are indeed bad and need to be severely punished. But the police may not be completely trustworthy." Lin Qiusheng said.

Fidel fully agrees that the police cannot be trusted.This is almost the consensus of Latinos and blacks.

"Lin, what should we do if Congress really passes that bill?" Field asked again.

"That also depends on what the bill turns into. But I think this bill will definitely avoid some groups in the end. For example, some churches or something, they claim to be a bridge between man and God, Can help believers communicate with God. Is such an ability considered a special ability? If it is, then members of various churches in the United States should be on this list.” Lin Qiusheng said, “And various churches, in American political The influence is very large, and no congressman dares to provoke them casually. Therefore, if the situation is not right, you can create a religion yourself. For details, you can even refer to the "Flying Noodle Sect".

In addition, from the perspective of stacking buffs, you are all ethnic minorities, and you can completely create a church related to this identity.And with such a church, many things are easier to do. "

In the process of dealing with them, Lin Qiusheng knew that they also believed in Christianity in theory, but this belief was more of a habit than a true agreement with its teachings.They don't actually take religion too seriously.Therefore, Lin Qiusheng did not worry about offending them by speaking out about the "Flying Noodle Cult".

"Why don't we just use the name Taoism? It's an open and influential religion, even in Civilization," Grant asked.

After taking some classes, Field and others had a little liking for the almost atheistic "Tao".

"You don't believe in God anymore?" asked Anne.

"Believe me, God is the Word," Grant said. "All the gods are the Word, which is some manifestation of God. After all, the Tao is the truth, and God is the truth—they are the same thing, the so-called difference It's just a different language."

"Your statement is also very interesting." Lin Qiusheng said, "But you'd better not use the name of Taoism. You should know that ethnic minorities do have politically correct buffs in the United States, except for those in China. Directly Using the name of Taoism may actually bring us more trouble."

"I'm not busy with this matter. The Congress is still arguing." Fidel said, "Let's wait for the results of the Congress to come out. In addition, Mr. Lin, there is another matter. I would like to ask you to help me with divination." ...It's just that you know that I don't have that much money, so I can only write you an IOU first."

"What's the matter?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"A friend of mine disappeared in Mexico. I want to read his fortunes," Fidel said.
