Marvel: I have a serious mental illness

Chapter 379: A day in the life of the mayor

After listening to Gilgamesh's words.

Both Fulu Xiaojingang and Sakyamuni fell silent, and both of them kept this silence unanimously.

Although Gilgamesh has an arrogant character, he regards all existences in the world except himself as mere cultivators.

But Gilgamesh, who has such a bad character, is not a reckless man who only knows how to use strength. He still has unparalleled wisdom.

If he didn't have wisdom, he wouldn't be a unique king.

This time, Gilgamesh was right.

No matter who pushes whom, there will be an ending called "finality"...

And this ending called "Final" is exactly what no one wants to see.

Therefore, everything we are worried about now is actually meaningless.

……

……

Three days later.

New York City Government.

Inside the mayor's office.

Zhou Ran, wearing a black suit, was sitting very quietly on a leather chair.

He tilted his head slightly and looked through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, taking in the bustling New York City at a glance.

Mayor of New York City...

I have to say, this is really an extremely novel experience.

To be honest, becoming the mayor of New York is not in Zhou Ran's current plan.

Zhou Ran wants to become the mayor of New York.

But he doesn't want to become the mayor of New York at this stage.

Of course.

This is also because he was forced to become it, rather than actively becoming it.

That happened three days ago.

After solving the clown incident that caused chaos in New York, Zhou Ran returned to the conference room.

Later, he became the mayor of New York City.

And it is unprecedented, the first person to pass unanimously, the first person to achieve a 100% probability of being elected as the mayor of New York.

The instigator, George Stacey, smiled happily at Zhou Ran, and after the election meeting, he came to Zhou Ran and confessed everything about the plan to him, including the police squadron surrounding the city government.

Zhou Ran expressed that he was a little surprised.

Because, in his impression, George Stacey was a very traditional person, and there should never be such an extreme scene.

George Stacy also gave Zhou Ran an irrefutable reason. This was his compensation for Zhou Ran and his debt for letting Jin Bing go.

After letting King Bin go, George Stacey never slept peacefully for a day. He was in regret and anxiety every moment. He blamed himself deeply for this, and was full of feelings for Zhou Ran.

Sorry.

George Stacy also said that this day will come sooner or later. This is an agreement between him and Zhou Ran. He is a man who respects the agreement extremely.

After listening to George Stacey's words, Zhou Ran's surprise disappeared, and he regained his composure, acquiescing to become the mayor of New York.

After all.

No matter what, this is good news for Zhou Ran.

He achieved a small goal in his life - becoming the mayor of New York City.

Mayor of New York, this was also his ambition.

Now Zhou Ran is a little happy and comfortable.

"Alas!"

Zhou Ran sighed softly, his eyes slowly shifted, and finally fell back on the desk in front of him.

On the desk, there is an extremely important document.

This is a major event that will affect the future of New York and the future of the entire world.

If this matter is not resolved well, it will lead to countless twists and turns, which are very likely to turn into quite terrible disasters.

Zhou Ran squinted his eyes, reached out and gently tapped the document on his desk. The name of the document was the "Mutant Registration Act."

The Mutant Registration Act, this is a pretty tricky bill.

Regarding this bill, among the New York City council members, there has always been a phenomenon that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, that is: supporters have always been in the minority, and opponents have always been in the majority.

This phenomenon also means that the Mutant Registration Act has never been allowed to pass.

To this end, Zhou Ran specially had a pleasant communication and exchange with the first loser and office clerk he accepted three days ago - Councilor Scoolow.

It was also during this communication that Zhou Ran was surprised to discover something: the New York City congressmen are not idiots.

Although they are greedy by nature and use the power of capital to exploit and enslave the people and drain their blood, they have also made their own achievements and are involved in various fields.

In short, those who play politics and those who can become members of parliament are not idiots who love to daydream.

Each of them is extremely smart.

Under Councilor Scoolow's narration, Zhou Ran also gained a higher understanding of the Mutant Registration Act.

From a general point of view, this is just a collision and struggle of will between superpowers and non-superpowers.

But from the perspective of the development of the entire world, this involves an extremely important ethical issue between mutants and humans, which is bound to trigger an extremely drastic change and will inevitably lead to a scene of bloodshed.
This is definitely not alarmist.

Because.

Once the "Mutant Registration Act" is implemented, it means that the entire human race will be divided into two parts, one part is mutants, and the other part is ordinary people.

So how should we treat these two parts?

Should these two parts be judged by the same law?

Do these two parts have to use the same standard benefits?

Obviously, it is impossible.

Uncontrollable mutants must be strictly controlled. Only in this way can we avoid losing control of their superpowers and avoid particularly serious dangerous accidents.

And this kind of strict control will inevitably lead to conflicts between mutants and ordinary people.

This is also contrary to the Mutant Registration Act itself.

Why do the X-Men, led by Professor X, want the Mutant Registration Act to be passed?

——This is because the "Mutant Registration Act" itself is a bill that seeks to benefit mutants.

They long for mutants to have the same rights as ordinary people, to live under the sun like ordinary people, away from all kinds of targeting and discrimination.

In fact, ordinary people do not discriminate against mutants.

More of a fear of mutants.

When mutants awaken their abilities, they will be controlled by their own abilities, amplify their various emotions, and feel like they are omnipotent like gods.

In addition, the abilities of mutants are not all handsome natural abilities and superhuman abilities. Mutants have more animal abilities.

For example: octopus man, lizard man, dog-headed man, pig-headed man...

This is actually very unhuman.

After ordinary mutants awaken their abilities, they will turn into half-human, half-beast monsters.

Therefore, it is understandable that ordinary people fear and discriminate against mutants.

Leave these aside.

Existing mutants may live in harmony with humans.

But the descendants of these mutants and the descendants of humans will definitely not live in harmony.

Mutants with superpowers will never be willing to live in harmony with ordinary people without superpowers.

They will climb up, to a higher class, or even evolve into a completely new class.

This is not only because of the ambition achieved by the specialness brought by superpowers, but also because of the various discriminations and suppressions that humans have had against mutants.

Repay kindness with kindness and repay hatred with kindness.

Tooth for tooth, eye for eye.

There are still too few pure good and honest people like Professor X among mutants.

In short, the "Mutant Registration Act" is by no means a simple matter, and it contains a lot of uncertainties.

Zhou Ran rubbed his head and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He can make the Mutant Registration Act smoothly implemented, he has this ability.

The terrifying power contained in Superman makes him a god on earth, allowing his will to be carried out in this world.

The meaning behind the name Superman also makes him want to be half a saint, change the bad things in the world, and create a new and good order.

He can't be sorry for Clark Kent!

Superman Clark is not only the light of DC, but also his favorite superhero.

Zhou Ran also considered becoming an extremely happy ancestor.

But he doesn’t want to be an ancestor who plays tricks on the world. He wants to bring some changes to the world.

He prefers construction to destruction.

He prefers self-restraint to indulgence.

Yes, destruction and indulgence are easy, self-discipline and construction are difficult.

But it is precisely because of this difficulty that it brings incomparable brilliance.

Of course there is another extremely important reason.

This world has not yet sorry for him, this world has not yet hurt him.

On the contrary, he, without knowing it, transformed into a terrifying clown in the night, causing a series of bloody incidents, destroying the world and hurting the people in this world.

It is true that in Zhou Ran's heart, those strangers are just like the useless NPCs in Novice Village, they are dispensable.

But he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

Because, in the hearts of these dispensable wastes, Zhou Ran has always been the light of New York.

The light of New York must look like the light of New York, right?

People are contradictory, and Zhou Ran is no exception. He is also very contradictory.

Zhou Ran showed a smile, curled his lips, and whispered: "No matter what, this was my ambition and an important goal."

"Now that I have achieved it and become the mayor of New York City, I will be a good mayor and make New York what I want it to be."

Zhou Ran took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the phone book, scrolled for a while, and stopped at the place starting with the letter X. This was the person he wanted to call.

This man's name is Charles Francis Xavier. He is a very kind old guy. He is a university professor and has established a school in his private name in New Jersey - the Xavier School for Gifted Youth.

That's right, Zhou Ran wants to call Professor X.

He knows Professor X and has met several times. The relationship between the two is very good and they have a pretty good friendship.

How did we meet?

Of course it was made with a green Franklin.

Zhou Ran once donated a lot of money and materials to the Mutant Academy in his own name.

As a wealthy man with a lot of actual property, Professor

Zhou Ran also fulfilled Professor X's request and naturally became Professor X's friend.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

After a busy tone, the call was connected.

"Alas!"

Zhou Ran sighed lightly, smiled and joked: "Professor Charles, you are really a busy man, it took you so long to answer the phone..."

"Ha, Congressman Jake, you are kidding me again. Compared to you, I, Charles, am not a busy man. I am just a mouse hiding in New Jersey and afraid to see people." Charles shrugged and joked with a smile.

Tao.

After making a joke, Charles's expression became a little serious, with a glimmer of worry in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice: "Congressman Jake, do you have something important to say? You know, you have never been

Why did you call me? We have known each other for so many years, but the number of times you call me is pitiful, and every time there is no good news..."

Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Professor Charles, this time it's not bad news, but great news."

"Oh, by the way, you have to change your name for me. Please call me Mayor Jake. I have been the mayor of New York for three days. I am now sitting on the mayor's throne, and there is also a statue in front of me.

There is a document!"

"A document that is very important to the entire world. I am considering whether to sign and approve it. Professor Charles, I think you should know what this document I am talking about!"

When Charles heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, his expression became extremely solemn, his lips trembled and he said: "It's the Mutant Registration Act!"

"That's right!" Zhou Ran snapped his fingers, picked up the documents on the table, then put his legs casually on the desk, and said with a smile: "Professor Charles, the document on my table is exactly a mutant

Person Registration Act!"

"It can be seen that the content of this bill is very complete. It does not seek special welfare treatment for mutants. The purpose of the bill is also very good, seeking belated fairness and justice for every mutant."
"I know that the professor has been very careful, and I also really want to realize the contents of the bill. This coincides with my past thoughts, but when this document was placed in front of me, I realized its weight.

"Professor Charles, with your wisdom, you must be able to understand what I am worried about at this moment!"

"It's not that I don't want to sign, but..."

After listening to Zhou Ran's words, Professor Charles fell into silence.

As one of the sponsors of the "Mutant Registration Act," how could he not be aware of the various hidden dangers involved?

With his wisdom, how could he not have foreseen all the uproar that would follow?

With his life experience, how could he not be aware of the rising conflicts between mutants and humans?

The future is beautiful and the goal is beautiful.

But the process of realization is not necessarily beautiful, it may be bloody.

And this process will most likely lead to that wonderful future never coming.
