Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 231 Reid Going Home ([-] in [-])

The spaceship landed on the platform on the top floor of the Pasteur Building, and the four of the original Fantastic Four opened the cabin and walked down.

"It can be regarded as coming back, I feel like I'm going to rust on the spaceship." Johnny stretched his body and said casually.

Although the remaining three didn't say it clearly, judging from their expressions, they were undoubtedly full of joy for returning to Earth.

"You are back." Valeria looked at the family members who came down the stairs.

"Where are Xiao Fu and Colt?" Susan asked after looking at the living room.

"Xiaofu is out, and Colt is in the lab." Valeria replied.

After the others returned to their rooms to pack their things, Valeria and Reed faced each other in the living room.

"What do you really think is important?" Reid asked, "Actually, although you don't want to admit it, like your mother said, this is really just a simple life problem."

Seeing Valeria's slightly dissatisfied expression, Reed laughed: "Okay, then let's continue according to the analysis you and Nadia had made before.

"No super powers, but far-reaching effects on the environment."

He looked into his daughter's eyes calmly: "You really, can't you think of it?"

"No, I think..." Valeria's expression became a little weird, "No, I mean..."

"The most important thing is, does it really matter?" Reed interrupted Valeria, "I never think of myself as an emotional expert, but what I want to ask you is whether you are Concerned about the truth of this matter, or just concerned about the impact it may have."

"If you want to solve something, you must know..." Valeria said, her voice getting smaller and smaller.

"Look, I think you know very well that it doesn't matter. You can solve the problem if you know the reason. What you need to solve the problem is the reason, not the whole truth." Reed said, "Since you have grasped If you have everything you need, then the truth has no value except to satisfy your own curiosity."

He paused, and looked at his daughter seriously: "So, the key to the question is whether you want to know or not."

Valeria avoided her father's eyes, she was silent.

After a long time, Valeria said, "I don't know."

Reid shrugged: "So you see, this is a simple relationship life problem, so it's not me you need to consult, but your mother."

He turned around and walked up the stairs: "If there is something, you know where you should find me."

"Emotional... problem?" Valeria looked at her father's back and muttered softly.

……

Reed pushed open the door and saw Colt who was calculating the data.

The two greeted casually, and when Colt was about to start working again, Reed stopped him.

"The previous incident, was it resolved?" He seemed to be asking casually.

Colt frowned slightly: "Yes, Crystal has returned to Attilan with the recovered Terrigen Crystal."

"That's really great." Reid said with a smile, "at least it's much better than us running to Kerry for no reason and getting nothing."

"Yeah." Colt replied absently.

"Do you seem to have anything else to say?" Reed looked at him and asked.

Colt gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "You didn't go to Kerry Star for this matter, did you?"

Reed also frowned, and then replied with a smile: "Do you suspect that I am hiding something?"

"No, I just suspect that you are trying to deal with some dangerous things alone." Colt said bluntly.

"It's funny, I thought, we're just doing the same thing." Reed reached for a chair and sat on it, "They say I'm not a good teacher, but you seem to be doing well? "

Colt pursed his lips.

"You see, we did the same thing, and most of the people who were kept from it would have the same dissatisfaction you have now," Reid said.

"No, I'm not dissatisfied." After listening to Reed's words, Colt thought for a moment and finally said, "I just think that if something really happens that makes you give up the job at hand, you should go to Kerry Star's job, it's probably not a trivial matter."

Reid laughed and said, "This is the most interesting thing about people, isn't it? Everyone wants to be the chess player who controls the overall situation, and hopes that others will just follow their own plan step by step, but they are extremely disgusted that others do not tell The whole truth about yourself. When you change positions, people will always betray themselves involuntarily."

Without waiting for Colt to speak, Reed continued: "Of course, to a large extent, this is not a mistake, people are always like this. But, the most important thing is what determines who is a pawn Who is a chess player?

"Is it power? Or superpower? Or, is it brain power?"

Colt opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"You see, it's a question with no answer, or rather, it's a question with no right answer, and you understand very well that if you answer it, you're proving a falsehood. But it's clear that everyone is repeating This fallacy." Reid said with a smile, "Arrogance is the most terrible sin of human beings.

"However, then again, deception and concealment are a common strategy in itself. I believe you know better than too many people that whether it is us or the Avengers, the battlefield we fight has never been just Rely on superpowers to fight as simply as gladiators in the Colosseum. Many times, deceiving your teammates is a necessary strategy.

"What matters is never the fraud itself, but the attitude of the fraudster towards the fraud.

"Whether it is deceitful in order to achieve the necessary results, or simply out of arrogance that does not bother to explain to its allies, so chooses to use deceit to manipulate their actions.

"And, do you just use them as a means, or as your own code of conduct."

Colt bit his upper lip.

"Everyone is lonely, so people will spontaneously look for places they are familiar with and reject those unfamiliar things." Reid glanced at Colt's expression, and he continued, "It's like every day Everyone builds a wall inside themselves."

He looked at Colt's expression and continued: "Coming to a new environment is like breaking the wall and coming to a brand new place.

"Everybody gets scared.

"When leaving home for school for the first time, children will be afraid, coming to a strange environment and leaving the familiar family.

"After graduating from elementary school, you will be afraid. Even the most cheerful person will have vague worries about whether you can get along well with everyone in the new school.

"When you step into work, you're still scared."

He smiled: "I think you know very well that a person's life is a process of constantly breaking down walls.

"I know that you are in a very difficult period, stepping into this grotesque world from ordinary people, not to mention, from the very beginning, this fantasy world directly showed its truest side to you.

"It is barbaric, primitive, and full of the weak and strong that should have been thrown away by human beings. As we have talked about, living here, you will see all the evils in human nature, even if you can also see those shining lights, But on a white paper covered with ink dots, first-timers can easily only see those glaring black dots, even the smartest people are no exception."

Reed stopped, as if waiting for Colt's response, but Colt remained silent.

"But like I said, once you've broken the wall, it's hard to go back," he continued. "I've never considered myself a particularly good motivator."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "But, I'm afraid you don't need an exciting speech right now, do you?"

"I..." Colt finally spoke, but his voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, which surprised him. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried to make his voice Back to normal, "I'm not saying that I want to run away from everything."

Reed looked at him and nodded slightly, as if signaling him to speak his mind boldly.

"Really, there is no way to get back outside the wall..." Colt felt his voice tremble.

Reed looked at Colt with his usual calm eyes, but this time, Colt felt like he wanted to avoid him more than ever.

"It's never been a question of whether there is a way." He shook his head gently.

"Before I came in, Valeria expressed to me her concerns about you, why you chose to self-isolate, and why you stubbornly refused to integrate into this new environment.

"Just like what the big boss once did to you, even if you are forced to continue to commit crimes, people are likely to fall into darkness. Living in this new environment and participating in many superpower incidents, you should not continue to reject this everything.

"Habits become natural, this is indeed a truth.

"So, she thinks your behavior is unreasonable, and she wants to find that time that is extremely important to you, without any superpowers."

"Did she... find it?" Colt's voice trembled.

"I asked her such a question." Reed did not answer directly, "I asked her, what she cares about is how to help you, or just the truth of the matter."

He stopped, glanced at Colt's expression, and then continued: "Her answer is that she doesn't know."

Reed laughed: "You see, she already understood very well that what she wants is not the truth, but she doesn't know why, why she, who has always traced back to the source, doesn't care about the truth, she thinks it's wrong Valeria's choice, she didn't believe she would choose this way, so she said she didn't know.

"So, I told her that it's a matter of relationship. The person she needs is Su, not me."

Reed looked at Colt's expression with great interest: "Actually, you are the same, you both know what you want, but you don't understand why you chose this way, why you made such a choice. Not your own option.

"Man doesn't always know himself as well as he thinks, does he?"

Reed sat up straight from the back of the chair and leaned forward slightly: "What kind of person do you think you are? Sticking to the rules and unwilling to change? Some lazy and unwilling to participate in those dangerous things and just want to take care of the people or things around you? Or is it someone who wants everything to have a happy ending and doesn’t like or want to see tragedies?”

Colt opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

"Look, if you really stick to the rules, after leaving the big boss, you won't rush into the purple man's case recklessly, and if you really just want to take care of the things around you, you won't work hard for Spider-Man You are just stubbornly telling yourself that I am forced and I don't want to live in this new world.

"But the truth is, you've adapted very well.

"So, your real question is, do you really want to get out of here, or do you feel like you should want to get out of here."

Colt froze in place.

"I hope you can give me an answer that you can convince yourself." Reed looked up at Colt, "This is very important to you, as we said before, you must know that you are who.

"To be honest, I like you very much. You are a very talented person. At least, you can help me in my laboratory. If you choose to leave in the end, I can only say that I am very sorry.

"However, I think you and I both understand that if you really make a choice, then the most uncomfortable person will definitely not be me."

Looking at Colt's expression, Reed sighed: "I know this is a difficult choice. I can only tell you that no matter what you choose in the end, I will help you complete your choice."

"Thank you." Colt felt that he squeezed out these two words from his throat, but he also felt that this was the most sincere thanks in his life.

He turned around and pushed open the door of the laboratory.

"So, what do you think?" Reed sighed.

Beside him, the figures of Susan and Valeria appeared.

"It's hard." Valeria's voice was obviously suppressing something.

"This is a very difficult choice for him." Susan patted her daughter, "We all know how important this is to him."

"I'm fine." Valeria suddenly interrupted her mother's words, "Actually, I've figured it out."

Feel the eyes of your parents looking at you.

"I understand what I'm worried about. What I want is not the truth, because I already know what the truth is. Like you said, I'm resisting, but what I'm resisting is not just myself The decision made in the relationship is a fact that may appear in the future." Her voice became as confident and firm as usual, "And now, I think, it's time to abandon those childish awkwardness and grow up .”
