223 The Senator And The Little Reporter

In fact, compared with places such as New York where the fighting was fierce, the duration of the fighting in Washington was quite short, and the intensity was not very high. At that time, the Senate of Congress was conducting an emergency authorization vote on the situation in New York, and the House of Representatives was debating whether to increase the military budget again in the next few years. When you were talking about each other with big shots, the pieces of the Rubik's Cube placed near Capitol Hill The sudden opening of the wormhole caught the Washington police and the air force stationed near the capital by surprise.

It took less than fifteen minutes for the fanatical and bloodthirsty Chitauri army to descend from the sky, raging wildly along Pennsylvania Avenue, which symbolizes the core of American power, and finally fell to the ground inexplicably. The damage caused to American politics in 10 minutes is the greatest damage it has suffered since the Revolutionary War.

In the chaos, Mystique posing as Senator Kelly was lucky enough to survive. If she hadn't been warned in advance from a cutting-edge laboratory, she would have almost exposed her identity out of panic, but with adequate preparations, she managed to overcome the danger and She performed brilliantly when the alien invaders besieged the Capitol, saving the lives and honors of some congressmen in time, and gained a lot of friendship from her colleagues.

At the moment, although the alarm over the Congress is no longer sounding, the alert is still at the highest level. A total of thousands of people were evacuated in the Congress area. The surviving congressmen were not surrounded by security personnel until the military and agent agencies repeatedly confirmed the safety. Under the protection, they came out of the emergency shelter one after another.

When they returned to the ground, the first thing they saw was the Capitol Building, which was covered in bruises and billowing smoke. The building made of white marble was blackened by the burning smoke, and the three-story circular ding above the central ding was passed by. The Taree spacecraft accidentally swept over it, lost its balance and fell down, piercing through the solid floor of the ding floor on the spot. The 19-foot-tall bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty that originally stood above the circular ding also disappeared during the attack. traces of it can be found.

Seeing this tragic scene, and looking at the long-lasting smoke cloud above the White House not far away, the crowd in front of the Capitol was furious.

The president died, the vice president died, 219 of the 435 members of the House of Representatives died, more than 40 people were seriously injured, seven people were missing, and most of the 100 senators survived. result.

If the battle lasts for another five to ten minutes, even such a result is an extravagant hope. For a while, the noble survivors can only stand in the ruins, watching the large number of wounded beings being transported by ambulances or even trucks. After being transported away, corpses dug out from the rubble and seriously injured guards can be seen everywhere on the scene. Nurses and doctors kept running around under the supervision of the guards.

After suffering such a terrible loss, everyone was filled with burning anger, so although there was no obvious fault, the generals in charge of the defense of the capital and the bureaucrats of the intelligence agency were still attacked by a large number of congressmen. SHIELD, who hurried from New York, Director Fury received the most intense accusations from others. The extremely angry congressmen almost tore his coat, and someone pulled off the blindfold on the other side of the one-eyed eye, revealing a shrunken gray eyeball. The situation was very embarrassing, until a team of S.H.I.E.L.D agents desperately separated Fury from the crowd.

In the chaos, Mystique took a sneak peek at the situation, and struggled to get out of the out-of-control crowd. Her forehead was cut in two by falling glass shards during the battle, and half of her face and chest were covered with blood. She looked very miserable. , but thanks to her agility, there were no other more serious injuries.

Now, regardless of her own body, with a blood-stained bandage on her head, she climbed to the top of the collapsed wall with the help of her assistants, stood high among the crowd, and gave a passionate speech in front of countless media cameras.

"...Everyone, the fate of the human world has reached the most critical moment. The concept of an enemy has been redefined. What we are facing is no longer an opponent in the traditional sense, but an alien that invades the earth from across the universe. Star power. Evil is challenging us, their power is powerful and weird, Washington, New York, London...Not long ago, many metropolises in the world were invaded by aliens, but human beings finally defeated Enemy, drive them home from our land"!"

"At this critical juncture, why are we still arguing? Once the war begins, there is no distinction between the front and the rear. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone has the obligation to contribute to the protection of our homeland. We must be united. Fight to survive, fight to be free!"

The crowd's attention was gradually attracted by Kelly, who was waving his arms fiercely. His speech was exciting, and the flashing spotlights below were almost connected together, so bright that people couldn't keep their eyes open. Being the focus of everyone's attention, Mystique is not timid at all. The more people pay attention, the more she can experience the joy of being looked up to and worshiped by others. It is like a strong tide hitting her body and mind in waves.

The picture did not stop for a second, and was broadcast from Capitol Hill to all parts of the world through the cameras of various media reporters. Almost everyone, including New York, which had just wiped out the city, knew that Senator Kelly was such a great tough guy, even though he was covered in blood. Concerned about the fate of all mankind.

From this moment on, many people became loyal followers of Her Excellency Kelly, but only in the cutting-edge laboratory in upstate New York, there was a group of people who disapproved of her performance.

"Isn't this Mystique? I'm really obsessed with playing the role of a senator. Now I can't let go of this role. Could it be that she has forgotten her identity and still wants to run for president?" Katie Shadowcat asked with round eyes in surprise. very cute.

"She has always been very sensitive to power, or she has a strong sense of responsibility, and she always takes things too far." The little naughty Anna Marie frowned, with a distressed expression.

Speaking of which, Mystique once adopted a little rascal who ran away from home. The mother and daughter had a good relationship at one time, but when Magneto wanted to find a scapegoat for his plan, Mystique knew that the little rascal could absorb other people's abilities through physical contact. She didn't protect her adopted daughter, and later caused some troubles in the college, so her deeds were widely circulated among these young people, including the storm girl Austria who pretended to be Kelly's senator and witnessed Kelly's death. Luo Luo exposed it, until the entire academy was swallowed by Ross's cutting-edge laboratory, for a long time before, news about Mystique was the center of discussion among everyone in the academy.

Picking up the previous topic again, Katie, Anna and the others guessed on their own, and soon others joined the discussion. Fortunately, at the moment, except for the former Xavier College students

It is the Mutant that Brotherhood has defected to, and the secret of Mystique has not been discovered by ordinary people for the time being.

Amidst the discussions, Ross, who had changed back to his normal attire, led the people through the corridor outside the lounge door. On the way, he stopped and listened to a few words, and noticed that his boss, the security director Todd, who had a displeased expression, forcibly interrupted him outside the crowd. The topic of them, kick out these ignorant guys [and strictly order them not to reveal any secrets related to Mystique

"Ross, don't be angry, I will discipline them well." The storm girl who came from nearby was a little uneasy. She is now taking over the tutoring duties of the professor. Hearing the remarks just now, she also feels that she is usually too arrogant to these girls up.

Ross didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

He has an instinctive aversion to any leaks, especially those that may involve himself, and he is extremely cautious.

Regarding Mystique, he had already made a decision not long ago, and now he has strengthened his mind.

Ororo went out to teach those young people a lesson, while Ross was led by Todd into the adjacent reception room.

"I asked you to arrange, how are you preparing?" Walking into the room, Ross asked casually.

"It's finished." Todd hastily sent a stack of documents, which were some identification and social records, including physical objects and a large number of video pictures. Ross looked through them one by one, and at the same time gradually outlined the events and characters in his mind. See if there are holes in these half-truths. The security director looked up at his boss's expression secretly, and made some supplements in time.

"The file has been revised very well, and other media have done their work in advance. Only Peter Parker, a special reporter from the laboratory and the Daily Bugle, could not be contacted. I found his colleague Eddie, a photojournalist, and Mr. Eddie paid for it. A lot of hard work, and he solved the most troubles for us."

Todd pointed to the young man sitting in the corner. The rather handsome rookie reporter heard him mention his name, stood up hastily and bowed to Ross, looking a little embarrassed.

Ross felt relieved, Todd definitely couldn't get in touch with Peter, Spider-man regained his long-lost enthusiasm, and was busy working as a superhero. He didn't remember his job as a reporter, but this Eddie worked very hard.

In another timeline, Eddie clashed with Peter, who was also a rookie, and later lost his job. He was possessed by an alien creature that left Spider-man and became the super criminal Venom, who is now the chief reporter of the newspaper Peter. · Mr. Parker's little follower.

Since Peter was unreliable, it would be a good idea to give Mr. Eddy a chance, so Ross looked at the photojournalist kindly and patted him on the shoulder.

".~Don't be nervous. Sit down, Eddie."

Following Ross's light pressing gesture, Eddie sat on the edge of the sofa in shock. Although they were similar in age, and even Eddie was a few years older than Ross, their identities were very different. Judging by temperament, anyone would feel that Eddie's performance is definitely taken for granted.

"Eddie, you've done a great job." Ross looked up at the paperwork in his hand, and he could see that Eddie had done a lot of extra work, not just the ones that Todd had given him, which showed that he really did. He is working very hard to get closer to the laboratory. If it were Peter, the Spider-man, who is humble on the outside but proud and sensitive on the inside, would never do what his followers did.

Definitely, also due to these efforts, Eddie almost concocted a superhero deed. This is an out-and-out fake news. Once it is exposed by others, he will never want to work in the reporter industry again.

It was clear to Ross that this was the source of Eddie's anxiety.

But he will not disappoint those who try to get closer to him.

With just one look, Todd understood what Ross meant without deliberately ordering. He turned and walked out. When he came back, he held a thick envelope in his hand and stuffed it into the arms of the surprised Eddie.

Mopping at the thickness of the envelope, Eddie said nothing with joy in his eyes.

"Eddie, you're doing great." Ross repeated, beckoning Todd to bring red wine, pouring a glass for himself and the reporter.

"People often say that seeing is believing, but we all know that the truth is often not consistent with the fishing boat. The classic photos of Iwo Jima and Ting into Paris are well-planned propaganda campaigns. Lincoln is far from being as great as black rights activists claim. But who cares about the secrets behind (Wang Zhao's) affairs, no one!"

He waved his hand lightly, making a calm gesture.

"As long as most people can find what they are looking for in it, they will

Will stand up spontaneously to maintain the side that is beneficial to yourself, embrace the hypocrisy, and denounce the truth, and then time will cast a halo of credibility on all false things, and in a few decades, your

Masterpieces are an inseparable part of history.

"You're right, sir." Eddie drank the wine in the glass in one breath, wiped his lips and boldly replied.

"Can I still serve you in the future?" He looked at Ross expectantly. Everyone knows that the reason why Peter is the chief reporter of the Daily Bugle is that he has Luo

This relationship.

"Definitely, I need a smart and hard-working partner like you." Ross smiled slightly and motioned Todd to give him a mobile phone number, through which Eddie can directly contact the laboratory.

face to face contact.

"I promise you, you will win the Pulitzer Prize, and this is not your end, so go ahead and don't let me down." Ross narrowed his eyes, looking overjoyed

The little reporter looking forward hurriedly took the business card, and rarely burst into laughter.

All along, he has always given the impression of being gentle and restrained, and there are very few times when he is so open-minded like today.

Infected by his laughter, Eddie couldn't help but the light of ambition rose in his eyes, he bowed gratefully to Ross, pressed the envelope on his chest, and then led by Todd

, sent someone to send him back.

"BOSS.

The photographer had just left, and Todd hurried back again. He received a call from his subordinates and reported to Ross immediately.

"That thing, our people found a clue......".
