Angela was behind Lei Rui, and she was already quite nervous at this time, and she could feel Bruce. Banner's mood fluctuated, but fortunately, it seemed that after Lei Rui's answer, the situation did not deteriorate further, and certainly did not improve significantly.

Bruce. Banner's vigilance, which had begun to be removed, was now like armor, one by one by him back on, and the doubt in his eyes made his eyes shrink slightly, looking at Lei Rui.

"We know you've been trying to get back to the normal state you used to be." Lei Rui continued, "We also know that at Mr. Lan's suggestion, you tried to use the extract of the Heavenly Flower to try to restore the alienated cells to their previous normal cell state. You should know that Paradise Flower comes from Paradise Island, and Paradise Island's research strength in biochemistry and biological genes must also be known. So you see, we can help you. ”

"Can you help me get back to normal?" Bruce. Banner asked with strong suspicion.

Lei Rui sighed lightly and replied, "Mr. Banner, you already know very well that this is very unlikely. But it's your choice, your will, so we can raise to give you enough resources to do all sorts of experiments. But with all due respect, Mr. Banner, what you should do more is to recognize the reality and make peace with the other you. You, the Hulk within you, are yourself, not any other person, like two sides of a coin. ”

"But you don't understand the pain!" Bruce. Banner let out a low sigh.

Even though his body has not yet shown signs of transforming into the Hulk for the time being, this low shout is already very powerful as the Hulk's low roar. Bruce. Banner was also aware of this, and immediately lowered his eyes and controlled his mood swings with a short breathing rate. His abdomen rises and falls rapidly, and it is the same way he learned to control his abdominal breathing in the slums of Rio de Janeiro.

Lei Rui looked at him calmly and did not say a word. After a while, Bruce. Banner raised his head, still with a little anger on his face, and said, "But you don't know this pain! This pain of an abnormal person! ”

Lei Rui's expression remained calm, looking at Bruce. Banner said very calmly: "This is not the difference between normal people and abnormal people, but the difference between ordinary people and non-ordinary people. With all due respect, Mr. Banner, you can't go back to being a normal person. Even if you're trying hard to do it now, we can support the resources you want to do it, but I think so, you're no longer human! ”

Bruce. Banner glared at Lei Rui, half speechless, "You call that big green monster with no reason as a normal non-ordinary person?" ”

"Why not?" Lei Rui spread his hands and replied, "The Hulk is the other side of you, you are you, he is still you, not some monster, you can control yourself, that is, you can control the Hulk." ”

Hehehe!

Bruce. Banner shook his head and laughed, as if amused by Lei Rui's words.

Lei Rui continued, "Mr. Banner, you regard the existence of the Hulk as a curse on you, so you desperately want to remove this curse. But actually, I think it's a gift from you. Since the Hulk already exists, it must have the value and mission of existence, otherwise, you would have died in that gamma ray leak accident a long time ago. ”

"But I don't want him to exist! I'd rather die in that gamma ray leak than this green monster! "Bruce. Banner snarled under his breath again.

The whole dilapidated house trembled slightly in the low roar faintly carrying the majesty of the Hulk. On the mottled ceiling, the plaster is falling in a puff. Angela looked up at the ceiling worriedly, worried that what she feared most would happen. But it's okay, Bruce. Banner was only a little agitated, and under his extreme control, the Hulk did not show up, and Bruce. Banner also slowly calmed down again under the control of his rapid abdominal breathing method.

Lei Rui was very calm. He's been keeping an eye on Bruce just now. Banner, who was able to clearly perceive the subtle changes that had happened to him, was able to see Bruce in the slums of Rio de Janeiro that night. Compared to the scene when Banner transformed, this time there is obviously a slight difference.

So he was sure that the Hulk would not appear.

What he should say and what he should express has been made very clear. So he kept silent and waited for Bruce. Banner spoke. After a while, Bruce. Banner looked up, looked at Lei Rui and asked, "Why are you doing this?" Or rather, what do you want? Is the secret of that green monster? ”

Lei Rui replied with a faint smile: "Our purpose is very simple, to invite you to join our team and face and solve the various existential crises that this world and all mankind will face together. Of course, if you still want to get back to the normal state, we can provide you with the resources you need to conduct research. If your research can be successful, we will still get a Hulk. And at that point, it's up to you whether you want to stay or leave. ”

"I don't understand, what else can you do if you want such an abnormal green monster to be able to wreak havoc?" Bruce. Banner asked, puzzled, "I'm sorry, I can't imagine what you're trying to do with all this effort?" If you want the Hulk, you can do it. But she found Anna first, and now she finds me here! ”

"Mr. Banner, don't you realize that you can't kill yourself?" Lei Rui replied with a smile, "Actually, if you remember what happened after you transformed into the Hulk, you wouldn't say that. In addition, let me emphasize to you once again that the Hulk is not an abnormal green monster, and you are not an abnormal person, but an abnormal person. In fact, we all are. You look at Angela, how old do you think she is? ”

"Hey! Captain! It's rude to discuss a lady's age, OK?! Angela immediately protested.

Lei Rui raised his hand, smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, it's my fault." Guess how old I am? Is it younger than you? ”

Bruce. Banner glanced at Lei Rui and nodded silently.

Lei Rui smiled, took out his mobile phone, tapped it on the screen a few times, and handed it over.

Bruce. Banner took it curiously, and saw an old photo, a black and white photo of some years, which had fallen off and faded in some places, and looked mottled.

In the background of the photograph is a small town, and on the side of a Sherman main battle tank, two young men in military uniforms, one with two moustaches on his upper lip, a book spread out in his hand, and the other is smiling and saying something. The town in the background looks like it has just been baptized by war, and the crippled buildings and the smoke of gunfire all indicate that this is a photograph taken after a great war.

Bruce. Banner raised his head and looked at Lei Rui in surprise, then looked down at the photo, and enlarged the photo, and kept comparing it, the surprise on his face became more and more intense.

Lei Rui smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed to the photo on his phone, and said, "Don't doubt it, the soldier in the photo is me." It was 1944, three weeks after the Normandy landings, and after I had taken part in the Omaha beachhead rush and another mission, I was following a small detachment of the Ninth Panzer Division out of the flank as a co-pilot and machine-gun shooter for the Fury Tank, securing the flank of the large forces attacking Cherbourg. The young man in the photo is called Bode. Swan, we all call him a saint! ”

"Impossible!" Bruce. Banner exclaimed, "You're still like this from 1944 to now?!"

Lei Rui laughed, "That's why I said, we are not ordinary people, not abnormal people, this is a difference!" You are too! Mr. Banner! Do you want to see how unordinary you are? Maybe after watching it, you can understand why you can't kill yourself when you shoot yourself in the mouth with a pistol! ”
