Chapter 331
The warm light of New York City shone on Carl's cheeks through the open glass window. On the comfortable recliner, he squinted his eyes comfortably, lazily enjoying the feast of light.
It took Carl a few seconds to realize that Tony's silence was waiting for his answer.
"...He is very good at playing chess." His words were a little rambling, "When I am bored, I will play chess online with him. Besides chess, he can also play Chinese chess and Go. He is also very good at the latter two. Proficient, almost as good as his Go."
"Kal-El!"
"I'm listening, dear Nini, continue with your analysis," said Carl.
His perfunctory attitude made Tony very dissatisfied. He turned to face Carl, trying to arouse Carl's guilt with his eyes:
"Put it all together, lad, we're talking about a guy who's trying to beat you - not just your sweet lover!"
"Believe me, I know this much better than any of you, and my attitude is more correct than any of you. In this world, I know him best, even though he is The man who knows me best, and that makes many of his actions... extremely destructive. We don't have the power to fight back and parry."
Lex.Luther could not be considered a good man, but he was undoubtedly a smart man.
This means that when he is determined not to use some excessive means to provoke and lead the war, his enemies can neither legally attack him nor condemn him morally.
"I can't believe you're still talking for him at this point." Tony scowled, "Listen, little prince, maybe it's because you're not the one who is being chased by everyone to ask questions, who is being chased by everyone. People who are suspicious at the sight of others, who are condemned by everyone and asked to give up another job...”
Carl waited calmly and relaxed for Tony's next words.
Under the sun, his posture was so comfortable, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.
Tony just looked at the state of his hands and feet, and could imagine how comfortable the other party felt at the moment.
So he stopped talking.
People's doubts about the existence of Superman, and even the existence of all vigilantes, also spread to him who publicly revealed that he was Iron Man, and he suffered from cold eyes and questions during this period, some of which were so bad that even Tony This kind of unscrupulous character will also feel prickly.
There is no doubt that he is turning the heckle he received into anger and venting it roughly on Karl.
And Karl, it has to be said, seems pretty resigned to it, as usual.
How many years have they known each other?The exact numbers are hard to blurt out, but other habits have undoubtedly been preserved, such as Tony always having a hard time hiding himself from Carl.
"It's true that I've been treated that way." Noticing his mixed feelings, Carl said, "But I don't think it prevents me from understanding what you mean. It's my fault."
"...You don't need to blame yourself for everything related to Luther." Tony said coldly, "He has his own responsibility."
"I have mine too."
Before the words were out of his mouth, Carl knew that Tony would be pissed off by the words.
Sure enough, Tony opened his mouth and scolded: "You idiot."
"I'm sorry I'm nowhere near your cleverness, Nini."
"Don't call me Nini!"
"Isn't it too late to refute this nickname at this time?"
"Everyone blames me for not being serious enough. They should really show them what you are now. Damn, why do they think you are reliable?" Tony was so angry that he was about to spin around in circles, "It's up to you! I don't care Already!"
He turned his head and was about to walk away, but Carl stopped him: "Nini."
Tony turned around quickly, looking impatiently, squinting at Carl: "What?"
"I know that you are all worried, and I know that you are very uncomfortable, but in my opinion, things are moving in a good direction so far."
"Are you serious? You call this 'moving in a good direction'?"
"I'm serious. Very serious, I swear what I'm going to say next can't be more serious." Carl said, "Although the development of the incident is very unfavorable to us, and it is a completely unfavorable stage, we all know that these outbreaks The problem is the problem that has always been there.”
Tony seemed to want to interrupt Carl's words vigorously, but he hadn't sorted out his words in a short period of time-this situation doesn't change often in a person with quick thinking and articulate words like him.
This kind of reaction can only be regarded as that he really agrees with Carl's words, otherwise there is no other reason, because he is the kind of person who can make hype even if he has no reason, but he will be dumb when he really agrees. speechless.
"He didn't create a tragedy, nor did he create something out of nothing; he didn't instigate, discord, and he didn't threaten or lure." Carl spoke very calmly, and his tone was very serious.
This gesture is somewhere between Superman and Cal.Between Al, there is only a lack of Superman's compassion, and there is also a lack of Karl.Al's liveliness.
He looks more approachable than Superman, but he is more approachable than Cal.Al is unattainable.
"Until now, the only thing Luthor has been doing is to uncover the scars that we have ignored, and brush away the flowers and applause that were presented in front of us, so that we can hear other voices."
"Others are the voices of those who doubt, hate, or even hate us."
"I know you're not outraged by the unwarranted insults and accusations, nor the humiliation by the suspicions of people with low morals. Time is not, and those criticisms are something that we experience and experience from childhood. We have the ability to bear - no, can't even describe it as a burden, because for us, they were never 'taken', but It's meant to be ignored and ridiculed."
So, if those gratuitous slanders and berates cannot hurt their hearts, what is it that makes them suffer?
"But with so many voices, so many words ... there's not a lot of hate, not much or no abuse, just pain."
"That's the pain of the innocent."
Karl turned his ears slightly, and the sound of the entire earth was circling in his mind, like a bird returning to its nest at sunset.
He identified those voices one by one, and found the ones he had been paying attention to without any trouble:
When he was 15 years old, there was a severe drought in a small remote country. He worked hard for a long time to gather a rain cloud in space enough to cover the whole country. Died by the water, leaving the child crying without tears.
They are still children now, but they rarely smile.
When he was 16 years old, a certain flood swept through the coastal area. He chose to rescue the serious wounded first, then the minor wounded, the elderly, women and children first, and then the middle-aged men. At that time, he was not strong enough to use his biological standpoint to protect people in high-speed movement. Uninjured, which made his movement speed a bit slow, he saved many people, but many more died.
The seriously injured who received priority rescue failed to survive the operating table, while the slightly injured died of infection because their wounds were soaked in water for too long. Some fragile babies stopped their heartbeats on the way.
Their relatives remember to visit the grave every year.
When he was 17, when he was, when he was 20...in the future, and beyond...
He has always heard so many voices, and it will only increase.
"Steve and Bucky will have other considerations, but I believe you and I have the same views. Only systems, better systems, continuous improvement systems, can make everyone's life better, can Makes everything we do more meaningful," Carr said, "because vigilantes are like dictators, and people don't trust dictators."
What he is doing now is to make up for the shortcomings of the system—however, both the system and the people will have failures and omissions, and how can a person bear what a system should bear?
One of the disadvantages of the system is that the system allows people to shirk their responsibilities, just like when a soldier invades another country, he can declare that "obeying orders is my bounden duty"; one of the advantages of the system is that the system allows people to shirk responsibility, so that those The police officer who shoots the murderer and the doctor who rescues the murderer do not have to bear moral pressure.
The system makes everyone a whole, even if the crowd cannot really become a whole, and this will eventually lead to all kinds of problems, but only the system can save everyone-provided a good system.
A sufficiently wise leader is actually equivalent to a good system, but can we expect a wise leader to always be wise?It's not as fast as dreaming.
"Don't worry, so far, everything is still under control." Carl smiled and moved his fingers lightly, "We can also imagine a better place. Sometimes the result of a quarrel is bad , but the outcome of the quarrel can also be good. As long as you can find a solution to the problem, even if it is only a part of the problem, it is a huge improvement."
"My God, who am I talking to? I thought there were saints only in the Bible. Now I think maybe I have one right in front of me. Don't you feel sad and annoyed?" Tony asked, "Don't you Don't you feel like you've been let down?"
"I will be sad and angry, but I will not show it to others." Carl said, "As for being let down, when I became Superman, I never thought about getting anything from it, except self-satisfaction."
"And wouldn't it be nice to watch them quarrel? Get away from the fanatical admiration and fierce pursuit, no longer play the role of fans, but put yourself in the shoes of others, and think about how to use your own power to make the world a better place— —isn't that admirable?"
"They can fight over these things, instead of crying and mourning dead husbands, wives and children," Carl smiled. Annoyance seems irrelevant."
The author has something to say:
Carl's thoughts in this chapter are what I speculate, the thoughts of Angel Chao in the comics.I think my views are basically in line with his character, including his views on the law, including his views on those who scolded him, and so on.
Carl has been growing.He's trying to get better and better.
