Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 317

The reason why Strange asked Jack to ask for help from the scientific community was mainly because Elizabeth's situation was very weird and dangerous...

Her brain waves are disordered and powerful.

If Elizabeth is an ordinary person, I'm afraid she has gone to see God at this moment.

But fortunately, Elizabeth is not an ordinary person, her nervous system is more resilient, so she just feels a little tingling in her head, and her body is a little out of control.

Jack thought he owed Elizabeth a lot, and he was very nervous at the moment, and he didn't care about the complicated relationship between himself and the Skyhammer Bureau, so he took Elizabeth to the base of the watchtower.

Then Jack used his contacts to invite Tony, Dr. Hank, Dr. Otto, and all the professors and doctors he could name...

In any case, Jack is a member of the justice camp, and everyone left their work and came one by one.

There is the world's most advanced laboratory in the base of the watchtower, but Dr. Otto and Professor Lizard, who arrived earlier, could only stare at Elizabeth.

Dr. Otto has a straightforward personality. After listening to Jack's narration, he responded straightforwardly:
"Mr. Murdoch, I am a physics expert. The human brain is not my specialty. I can't do anything about it..."

After all, Professor Lizard has a criminal record and is still on medical parole, so what he said was more tactful.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Murdoch, but I think I'm better at biology."

So science is a very troublesome thing. Although these two doctoral professors are famous, they are no different from Jack in the fields they are not good at!
But magic is different. You can do any outrageous things by doing a ceremony and saying a few lines.

It's a pity that we haven't reached the second stage of Marvel, and magic is still a symbolic term for the time being!
Jack can only wait patiently...

The third person who came was Tony Stark. Although he had many conflicts with Jack, the two were still friends when it came to personal feelings.

When a friend is in trouble, Tony is obliged.

It's a pity that this peerless genius also doesn't understand the spiritual world. After playing with the instrument for a long time, he replied in frustration:
"I speculate that Yisha's mental abnormality is not caused by the X gene in her body, but probably related to external stimuli."

So why is Tony the number one genius in the world? Although he doesn't understand the mysteries of the spiritual world, and he's not an expert on the human body, he still deduced some results...

This point is much stronger than Dr. Otto and Professor Lizard.

The fourth person to play is Dr. Banner. He has seven doctoral titles, but this is of no use. After he got nothing, he heard Tony's argument and made his own speculation based on reality.
"Miss Elizabeth's body has a lot of gamma ray waves that haven't dissipated. Her burst of mental power is very likely related to gamma rays."

After hearing this conclusion, everyone fell into deep thought...

Gamma rays seem to be a bit of a bad street in the Marvel world, but in fact, ordinary people may not be exposed to gamma rays for a lifetime.

Elizabeth is not a scientific worker, and there are not many opportunities for her to be exposed to gamma rays...

Jack was the first to react,

"It's that shock wave!"

Tony wondered, "What?"

Everyone didn't know the inside story, so Jack had no choice but to explain: "At that time, on the top floor of the Xavier Building, Elizabeth, Rocky, and the superstar were fighting, and I seized the opportunity to use the spiritual scepter to break the energy position of the Rubik's Cube. But when the two artifacts collided, a shock wave erupted."

It's about her, Elizabeth asked:
"So it was the blast that hurt me?"

Jack had already thought of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in the original plot at this time, he shook his head and said:
"Isa, it didn't hurt you, it turned on your superpower! The reason why you feel a tingling in your head and your body is out of control is because you haven't adapted to this superpower."

At this moment, Tony looked around his hands, bit his lips lightly, and asked tentatively:
"Jack, what do you mean... Isa didn't awaken the second mutant ability, but a superpower hidden in human genes?"

Tony's words were a bit convoluted, but the people present were all smart people, and they quickly realized it.

The so-called mutants have superpowers because of the X gene in their bodies, and people like Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, etc. do not have X genes, but they still have superpowers.

So... In fact, even if humans do not have the X gene, they can still awaken superpowers!
This discovery made Tony, Professor Lizard and others very excited...

But Jack was a little disappointed. At that time, he and Elizabeth went through the shock wave together. Logically, he was closer to the two fetishes, but why didn't he change in any way!
Does the awakening of super powers still depend on the face?

But finding out about Elizabeth's "condition" is finally a good thing.

And Tony also recommended Tarleton at the right time to guide Elizabeth to familiarize herself with her new ability.

Regarding spiritual strength, Professor X should be considered a super expert...

But it is certainly impossible for Jack to give his girlfriend to him, so Tarleton has become the next best choice.

Leaving Elizabeth at the base of the watchtower, Jack and Mark returned to the New York City Hall...

The trip to the hospital gave Jack a lot of emotions. He wanted to try to do something, but since his ideas were trivial, he wanted to talk to Raymond first.

In the Office of the Chief of Staff of the City Hall, Raymond has a large number of documents on his desk. Although he has tried his best, more documents are still sent in...

So when Jack walked into the office, Raymond dropped his pen and complained:

"You are finally back……"

Jack Shi Shiran said with a smile: "It seems that you need help."

Raymond stood up and asked Jack to sit down on the sofa, took out a cigar box from behind the bookcase, and asked:
"How's Isha doing?"

"Now it seems that there should be more good things than bad things."

Seeing that Jack was reluctant to go into details, Raymond bypassed this topic and talked about other things.

"I need more people here..."

Jack nodded. He had already seen the documents on Raymond's desk, and knew that if the old man continued to do this, problems would arise sooner or later.

"I have no limit on the number of staff in the staff office, you can recruit all the talents you want."

Raymond handed out the lit cigar, and replied helplessly:
"City Hall doesn't have that many establishments, you need to settle the Budget Committee!"

"Compared to dealing with them, I would rather pay for this money myself..."

Jack used to be the hospital of the New York City Council, and he knew too well what the budget committee composed of members of the council was all about!
Those are a group of rich wolves who eat people without spitting out their bones!

Raymond spit out a smoke ring with a satisfied expression, and then slowly replied:

"Jack, I must warn you that this is not in the rules, and it is very difficult to achieve."

Jack didn't understand what Raymond meant,
"Why, is there anything that money can't buy in the United States? I can definitely pay double the salary..."

Raymond pointed outside the door and said:
"Then what do they do? For the same job, people without a staffing get higher salaries?"

Now Jack understands that although he is rich, he cannot afford to pay for the whole of New York, nor can he afford it.

So Jack can only compromise:

"Okay, I will find time to chat with Mr. Speaker."

Raymond nodded, and ordered:

"Move quickly, my old bones won't last long."

Jack hummed.

At this moment, Raymond noticed that Jack's expression became serious, and he asked casually:
"What's the matter with you coming to my place?"

Jack has nothing to hide from Raymond, not to mention that he is here to listen to Raymond's opinion.
"I want to promote health care reform in New York City, and I plan to build a mutant community..."

"Are you crazy?"

Before Raymond finished listening, he replied loudly:
"It's impossible!"

Jack had already guessed that Raymond would object, and he began to explain why he did so,
"Raymond, as we have gradually shifted various industries such as heavy industry, light industry, and textile industry to Asian and African countries, there has been a huge vacuum in the U.S. system. Do you think that only by printing more dollars, you can really maintain Prosper?

Perhaps within a few years, the middle class in the United States will disappear on a large scale, and by that time, America will no longer be great! "

Raymond stood up, closed the office door, and immediately replied:

"What does this have to do with your push for health care reform, and what does it have to do with mutants?"

Jack tried to show his grand blueprint to Raymond,
"Mutants have many talents that humans don't have, this is a gift from God...

But for now, the authorities only care about mutants who are at the top and have great power. This is putting the cart before the horse!

There is a mutant named Qiwu in the mutant support club. His ability is very weak and he can manipulate the growth of some plants, such as big-leaf grass. If you were to decide, what do you think he can do in today’s society ? "

Raymond spread his hands and said that he didn't know. Although he has decades of political experience, superpowers are still a brand new topic for him.

So Jack further explained:

"Qiwu can make turf... The existing turf is basically composed of large-leaf grass and fine-leaf grass. The growth cycle is about three months, but if Qiwu is allowed to operate it, it only takes [-] days, and it will not There's pest infestation, and there's a lot of wiggle room in that."

In such a fucking world, anything can happen, Raymond believed that Qi Wu could do well, but he didn't conform to the laws of this world...

The appearance of Qi Wu will make the trade competition no longer fair, he can completely overwhelm all competitors with price and quality!
But once his rivals find out he's a mutant, he'll be wiped out very quickly... depending on the circumstances.

So the question has never been whether mutants can do it, but whether the world allows them to do it!

"Your idea is good, but there is no way to realize it."

Raymond believed that Jack must have seen this too, otherwise he would not have proposed a mutant community... This is to ensure the safety of the mutants first, and then let the mutants do something...

Jack knew clearly that he could not compete against the whole world by himself!

As strong as Iron Man, is it really just because of inner condemnation that he decided to take over the Sokovia agreement?
Perhaps the death of the black boy was the trigger, but the endless and all-round pressure was the main cause.

Jack sighed and asked:

"Is there really no chance?"

Raymond replied in a deep voice: "There is no chance at all! Those people are not stupid, they will not even agree with you to set up a mutant community in New York, you can't even complete the first step, let alone other things!"

Jack couldn't help but shouted: "But this may be the only chance!"

Raymond didn't know about the professor, so he said matter-of-factly: "Mutants have been around for decades, and the functioning of this society has not been affected, but if you want to make a fuss about mutants, then this society will It will definitely be affected!"

Seeing that Jack was silent, Raymond had no choice but to change the subject:

"And what about health care reform?"

Jack replied: "I went to the Presbyterian hospital and saw the difficulty in getting general medical care for ordinary people, so I wanted to promote health care reform."

Raymond nodded and said: "Compared to the mutant community, although the medical reform is difficult, there is still hope for it."

This was a fatal blow to Jack!
You must know that for so many years, countless officials and politicians have wanted to promote medical reform, because after completing this step, they can get a lot of votes, but the result is... American people still dare not call an ambulance!

Between the medical reform and the mutant community, Raymond thinks that the medical reform is more promising, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.

Jack left Raymond's office frowning. After returning to his own office, he took out a whole bottle of whiskey and half-lyed on the sofa...

Before he went to see Raymond, he thought he was mentally prepared, but his defense was broken!
It cannot be said that there is a problem with Raymond's idea... The problem of mutants is indeed difficult to deal with.

But being completely rejected was beyond Jack's expectations...

Building a mutant community is actually the same as teaching the concept of building a mutant nation!

But in comparison, the professor has a higher probability of success... because he will use his strength as a backing.

However, it will be extremely difficult for Jack to achieve the same result within the framework of the United States. He can imagine the final result of ordinary people being instigated by politicians and capitalists, and the conflict with mutants will be sharpened.

But it's not Jack's character to just give up like this...

So he was very tangled and contradictory.

When the sun went down, the office became dark, and there was only an empty wine bottle in Jack's hand, he finally stood up,

He still hasn't found the answer, but this is actually the answer...

Since you can't let go, it's better to make up your mind to do it, no matter whether you succeed or not, at least you have no regrets!

Thinking about this, Jack was going to turn on the light, but when he staggered towards the switch, Raymond pushed the door open,

"You convinced me, since I don't have a few years to live, why don't I go crazy with you!"

Jack turned on the light, and saw Raymond's expression slowly change from seriousness to a smile, and finally to a big laugh,

He couldn't help laughing himself!
