066 Capitol Hill
After hugging the students one by one, Eric looked at the two women, Qin and Ororo stood aside, waiting to talk to him alone.
"We're waiting for you." Qin tidied Eric's collar like a wife, and then kissed her gently.
Ororo shook his head and refused to kiss her in front of the student, but Qin pushed her hard from behind and sent her to Eric's arms. Now she didn't have to be shy anymore. Eric lowered his head and kissed her slightly thick lips, sucked her for a while before letting her go.
"Wait for me to come back." Eric pointed at them and turned around and entered the cabin.
The aircraft took off soon and flew towards Capitol Hill under Hank's control, with Ms. Mora on it, and she would accompany Eric to the hearing.
The people from the college came to the playground and looked at the shadows that were leaving. It was early morning. The rising sun had already risen. The bright sunlight shone on the aircraft, reflecting it into a small silver star flying towards the distance. People stood on the playground for a long time and were reluctant to dissipate. It was not until the dedicated Ororo thought of the course arrangement that he persuaded them to go back.
"Professor." Scott came to the professor, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
The professor looked at him in confusion and suddenly understood what he was going to say. The words he kept were at his mouth but could not say them.
Seeing his embarrassment, Scott suddenly laughed, and he half-kneeled and hugged his teacher.
"I'm leaving for a while," Scott said softly.
"Okay", the professor's throat seemed to be choking. He was stunned for a moment before he realized and quickly agreed.
"Don't worry about me. I'm going to walk around. I've never paid attention to this land when I've grown up. I think I can give myself a vacation and have a good rest." Scott said with a smile. The professor noticed that the cloud that had been shrouded in his face since he was a teenager disappeared at some point. The sun replaced the haze and shone his handsome face brightly. The professor looked at this disciple who was closest to him and suddenly realized that he had never paid attention to him so close.
"Go, kid." The professor tried hard to encourage him with the gentlest and sweetest voice.
Scoe nodded, his eyes were a little crystal clear, and then he hugged the professor again.
"Goodbye, my father." He said, and stood up and walked towards the distance.
The professor stayed alone on the playground, and he was the only one in the empty campus. The warm sunlight fell on him, and he began to feel an unspeakable emptiness growing in his heart.
"Scott?" He suddenly turned around and wanted to look at the familiar figure again, and said a few words to him, but found that there was already no one behind him.
The sun shines through the shade of the trees and spreads colorful colors on the ground. There is no longer agile figure in the field where people often move.
Looking at the college that became unfamiliar, the professor sat down in a daze.
In the aircraft, Hank controlled the wheel and spoke loudly to Eric.
"We can't go directly to Capitol Hill, being too close will cause trouble, we land nearby first and then take a bus to go there."
"I understand." Eric replied, and the aircraft began to adjust its height and approached the ground through layers of clouds.
Hank's words are right. In fact, there are no-fly areas in many places, such as important military bases, important government agencies, important buildings such as nuclear power plants, over dams, etc., and of course this is even more so on Capitol Hill. With a 24-kilometer radius centered on the Washington Monument, most aircraft are not allowed to enter, and those who knowingly commit the crime may be subject to criminal penalties - fines or one year in prison.
Despite this, accidents often occur. A small plane or a manned balloon. Driven by accidents or curiosity, people continue to sneak in. They will cause false alarms in the White House and Capitol Hill. Congressmen are evacuated by staff in panic. The president is also transferred to a safe place by the guards. Then those rash ghosts are intercepted by military aircraft and landed for review. Nothing will happen. This situation is so frequent. It happened more than 1,600 times in the past year alone, and only a few people were punished. Such accidents will eventually become topics of conversation in newspapers and are talked about by readers.
In order not to cause trouble and to avoid the noble MPs' misfortune, Hank obediently landed the aircraft in a designated position.
As soon as they stopped at the airport, some air force ground crews surrounded the aircraft under the command of people in suits. While they looked at the two mutants curiously, they tried to contact the aircraft. They were very bold and did not care that the owner was in front of them, and they were openly knocking on the cabin door and peeking into the cabin.
"Do you need help?" Eric said to them.
"What can you help?" An air force officer looked at him squintly.
"Create some trouble for you." Eric pointed his hand, and the cabin door melted into the belly of the metal cabin, and all the gaps disappeared, and the window was also sealed. The metal near the glass was squirming, lying on the window like a mud monster. Those naughty snatchers could no longer think of looking in through the window easily.
"I think they are very satisfied with my help." The Air Force ground crew and the man in the suit were stunned. Eric turned around and said to Hank, who laughed, and he was also dissatisfied with these people.
Ms. Mora rubbed her temples helplessly and urged her two partners. She felt that she should leave here as soon as possible to avoid clashing with soldiers who could not stand their face.
She pulled the two of them into the prepared car and headed towards Capitol Hill.
Capitol Hill is not a mountain range. It is an office building of the US Congress. It is built on a high ground with an altitude of 83 feet, so it is called Capitol Hill.
This is the heart of the United States. It has been damaged by war in history. Later, after many expansions including a huge reconstruction project, it finally formed today's pattern, becoming a three-story building with a total length of 233 meters, with white marble as the main material. There is a three-story dome built on the central top floor, and a six-meter-high bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty standing above the dome. The north and south wings on both sides of the large dome are the offices of the House of Representatives and the Senate respectively. The meeting hall of the House is where the US President reads the annual State of the Union address.
The hearing was not there, but a small hall nearby, where Eric is now standing at its entrance.
