Chapter Ninety-Five: The Stoneman's Eruption

Dr. Reed is about to be single by strength, he doesn't have a string to coax women in his head, in fact, Reed's emotional intelligence is not low, he has quite good leadership skills, and he is also a genius tactician, strategist and theorist, but like all good scientists, he lacks empathy.

That is, you can't empathize with the feelings of ordinary human beings, and all seemingly stupid mistakes are caused by this.

This led to his failure in his youth - he was obviously talented and talented, but it was difficult to get social recognition, let alone compete with his classmate Victor, and even he couldn't stand out in a group of mediocre ordinary people - everyone thought he was smart, but they thought he was a little crazy.

Even Susan, who had always had a crush on him, couldn't stand this and chose Victor.

Because Reed does not see ordinary people as his own kind, he can't understand and disdain to understand ordinary people, he lacks empathy, and to some extent has certain antisocial personality traits - but he is too smart, and by studying psychology, he has discovered his weaknesses so he has always controlled his antisocial personality.

Reed's flaw is that he has always refused to understand the people around him.

So he couldn't find the stone man Ben next to him, seeing Susan's gloomy expression after leaving, he looked at Susan's departing back in a daze, and looked at himself ashamedly, the dark red alien rocks piled up to form a bloated appearance, he looked like a monster, ugly and hideous.

Ben blames Reed for this, believing that he made himself into this way, and tries to restore himself to his original form, until Ben realizes that friends and family are more important to him after seeing his only friend (Reed) and crush (Susan) in danger in the face of Victor's incoming crisis.

Resolutely turned back into a stone man and saved the entire team.

He was finally relieved and chose to fulfill Reed and Susan and make his two most important friends happy, even if Reed never saw his crush on Susan, Susan herself knew it - no woman would not know her crush, it was almost the instinct of a female animal!

But Ben struggled to maintain a family-like relationship between the four of them, and after Reed and Susan fell out, the whole thing collapsed!

"I used to think that my concession would make you happy!" Ben silently said: "You are my best friends, my family and lovers, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for this." Why is this so? I've backed down and done everything I could, since I was a kid who was neglected by my family and had no friends, Reed you were my first friend and my best brother. Susan...... It's the only person I've ever loved. I had resentment when I knew she loved you, but I knew that fighting for it would only cost you at the same time, so I chose to sacrifice. You see me as family and let me know that love is not about possession. ”

"Even if I can't love Susan, I can fulfill the two of you, we're like family. My best brother and lover are all happy! ”

"Why?"

"Why are you ruining all this!"

"I can be ugly just to gain strength to protect you, but I can't stop you from ruining your happiness yourself!" Ben clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was magnificent under his calm appearance: "Obviously I have given everything, dreams, life, love and the humblest body. I give you happiness, Reed! ”

"And you ruined it without care, ruined what I had always dreamed of, like dumping garbage in a lab!"

Reed was still there debugging the instruments, excitedly saying, "Ben, let's do one last experiment, and now I'm going to teleport a chimpanzee to Mars." He came to a cage with a chimpanzee in a spacesuit, and the chimpanzee obediently grabbed Reed's fingers, and he led him to the middle of the instrument, staring at them with a pair of ignorant eyes, waiting for the fruit as a rewardβ€”they were born from the same root, so why be in a hurry!

"You should say sorry to Susan!" Ben suddenly turned around and said, "You shouldn't do this to her!" ”

Reed said impatiently, "Ben, do you have to say this?" ”

He looked at Ben and sighed, "Wait until the experiment is successful." I'll talk to her! ”

"No, Reed, you never realized your mistake, and after that, in order to make amends for your mistake, you went to Apocalypse and declared that you had taken refuge in him, without telling any of us. Of course we know that you have not betrayed, but as if you were betrayed, we are a team, and you have abandoned us all, so Thunderbolt has not forgiven you so far. ”

"After the disappearance of the Apocalypse, you returned to us, we trusted you so much that we did not question this matter in the slightest, we stood by your side and took all the blame, Susan took all your mistakes because we are a team. In the face of the captivity of the Ministry of Defense, the government's doubts and accusations, and the monstrous gossip, she has always chosen to bear it with you. Guarded with you in this laboratory. ”

"But you won't even understand us...... Reed I've seen through your secrets for a long time, you never tried to understand us, I don't care, really Reed I don't care about that, because I know that you do treat me as a friend, and you are sincere in everything about me, you care about us, that's enough! ”

"As a friend, I don't expect more! But for Susan, that's not enough! You should support each other and understand each other, you always accuse Susan of being sensitive and troublesome, but you yourself are stingy with even the slightest bit of understanding. ”

"Reed......" Ben said solemnly: "You are the one who is stingy with paying, but Susan is the only one who is tolerating you!" ”

"I want you to learn to understand!" After Ben said this, he reached out and pressed his hand on Reed's chest, and Reed seemed to understand something...... He shook his head and said, "No, Ben." ”

"Your cells mutate and change your physiology so that you no longer need food, air, or blood vessels." Ben said calmly, "I know a lot about this. ”

Then Ben pushed Reed into the middle of the instrument, the strength of the stone man weighed about a hundred tons, far from being comparable to Reed's ability, Reed's brain might be able to easily make a weapon that could deal with Ben, but at this moment, he couldn't break free from his friend's iron hoop-like hand, and he was pressed to the chimpanzee's original position.

"I just want you to reflect on it!" Ben Dao.

Reed shook his head desperately: "Wait...... Ben, this series of theories, this machine has not been tested on humans, and it may have potential risks. ”

Ben shook his head and said, "I trust you, Reed. At this point in the experiment, the instrument is very complete. ”

"Wait until you think about it!" The stone man pressed the start button and said, "Call me!" ”

"No, Ben!" Reed said loudly: "You can't ...... like this" A dazzling blue light flashed, Reed disappeared without a trace, Ben squatted in front of the chimpanzee who was ignorant and didn't know that he had escaped, stretched out his finger, and the chimpanzee obediently led up, and Ben pulled it out of the laboratory.

Ben said as he walked: "In comparison, Reed is not as empathetic as you!" ”
