Chapter 49 Mutants are Humans Too

"Chief, Coulson says the reporters are ready. What kind of statement should we release next? Say that vampires have gone out of control and are attacking humans?"

Beside Nick Fury, Agent Hill asked a question, only to be met with a rebuttal from Nick Fury:

"Of course we can't say that. If we announce to the public that there are vampires, people will wonder why they didn't know about this race before. Then, if they investigate further, the agreements between various governments and vampires will be exposed."

"After that, they will learn that the government tacitly approves of vampires parasitizing human society, which will greatly damage the reputation of various countries. More seriously, it may cause some people who are trying to achieve immortality to deliberately seek out vampires to transform into. That is the key point."

Hill was taken aback, not expecting that simply issuing a statement would be so serious, and cautiously asked, "So how should we issue the statement next?"

"Just like before, let's blame it on the mutants."

Nick Fury said, "Anyway, mutants have a variety of abilities. These people were all monsters transformed by mutants. Now that we've killed the mutants, nothing like this will happen again."

"Should we push it onto the mutants? But Professor Charles might have some objections," Hill asked.

Previously, when the vampire situation got out of control, they were even preparing to ask the X-Men for help. If Bai Ye hadn't intervened, and the X-Men had actually dealt with all the vampires, and then the human authorities had shifted all the blame onto the X-Men, then the mutants would have been in a really bad situation.

"It's alright, I'll talk to him myself when the time comes. It's all for the stability of human society, so we can only make things harder for mutants," Nick Fury said.

……

At the scene, Bai Ye stood on the ground, which reeked of blood.

Having just dominated the battlefield, he looked somewhat bewildered at the reporters who were about to surround him with cameras and the microphone that was almost shoved into his mouth.

"These reporters arrived way too fast," Bai Ye thought in surprise. Only five minutes had passed in total. Where did they get such a large group of reporters so late at night? Their efficiency was even higher than that of the New York police.

"No need for explanation, we all know you are the hero who just saved the citizens from the mutants." The lead reporter spoke up, which left Bai Ye completely bewildered.

"Uh, mutants? What are you talking about?" Bai Ye looked completely bewildered. You know everything now.

"Of course I know. The official announcement just came out saying that an evil mutant used his abilities to turn thousands of innocent people into blood-sucking monsters. If it weren't for your help, tens of thousands of people in the city would probably have died."

"Ah!" Bai Ye felt a bit sweaty. It really was all a mutant conspiracy.

At the same time, Bai Ye finally understood why mutants had such a bad reputation.

So whenever an inexplicable supernatural event occurs, both humans and officials assume it's the work of mutants.

Over time, how could his reputation not be bad?

"By the way, are you a mutant?" Suddenly, a reporter asked this probing question.

"Of course not. I've already stated before that I'm just an ordinary, normal human being," Bai Ye said righteously. He absolutely couldn't choose the wrong side in this kind of decision.

"Statement?" Looking at Bai Ye's highly recognizable face, the reporter immediately recognized him. Wasn't this the high school student who saved the bank ten days ago? Goodness, so he had a prior record of saving people.

But at the same time, a new question arose. A reporter, holding a microphone, asked, "You say you're an ordinary human being, so how did you become so strong? Can you explain the reason?"

"Of course you can. The reason I have such great power today is entirely due to my innate talent and relentless hard work. As long as you train as hard as I have, everyone can become a superhero," Bai Ye said.

"Everyone can become a superhero." The reporters present felt Bai Ye was talking nonsense, but still maintained their professionalism by asking, "Could you elaborate on the training content?"

"No problem. My autobiography, 'Everyone can practice martial arts,' will be published in a month. It details my training methods. As long as you learn like me, you can become just as skilled as me over time."

Bai Ye typed "GG" in front of the reporters, leaving them speechless. This "GG" was just too blatant.

Feeling that Bai Ye was talking nonsense, they immediately changed the subject, asking, "So what's your opinion on mutants?"

"Mutants? I think mutants are great." Not wanting to offend humans or mutants, Bai Ye could only firmly say, "Mutants are also human, and they are born with all sorts of abilities, which allows them to contribute more to humanity."

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye, who had just killed thousands of mutants, would have this attitude. The reporter continued, "But you just thwarted a mutant conspiracy."

"It's like the difference between Black people and 'Negroes.' It's reasonable that law-abiding people are called Black people, while immoral people are called 'Negroes.' Do you mean to say that if one 'Negro' commits a crime, then all Black people are guilty? You don't have that kind of thinking, do you?"

Bai Ye countered with a question that made the reporter standing nearby break out in a cold sweat. This magical clash between Bai Ye and the black man left the reporter completely speechless. He could only laugh awkwardly twice and dared not continue to ask questions.

Because the reporters interviewing Bai Ye were carrying cameras that were broadcasting the entire conversation live, Bai Ye's dialogue was also spread to many places through online media.

Magneto's expression softened somewhat after watching Bai Ye's statement during the live stream. He glanced back at the large, modified machines inside the base and remained silent.

Meanwhile, in a tavern, everyone was intently watching the live broadcast of Bai Ye on TV. A girl with a slightly chubby face and her body fully covered up was watching the broadcast with sparkling eyes.

Especially when Bai Ye said that mutants are also human, her resolve was strengthened. She wrapped her coat tighter around herself, walked out of the tavern, and disappeared into the wind and snow.

After dealing with the reporters amicably, Bai Ye turned around and saw Officer George and his officers looking at him with complicated expressions not far away.

"Good evening, Uncle, no, Director George." Bai Ye smiled and took the initiative to greet him, gently shaking hands with him.

George asked, "Weren't you out to the movies with Gwen? What's with all these... corpses?"
